Hello everyone!

I just took the June LSAT Flex yesterday and really don't feel good about it. I know for a fact that I underperformed and my anxiety got the best of me. My first section was LG (which is usually my strongest section) but I was really nervous during the first game to the extent that I had to let it go and then come back at the end to finish it. After LG, I remembered I felt so bad that I was thinking to cancel the score during the exam. I did finish the four games and guessed on 1 question but I just really am not sure how I did.

My RC and LR were average I would say. I definitely could have done better because I was having some trouble concentrating sometimes during the test. I couldn't sleep the night before the exam so that really didn't help lol.

My PT average has been a 168 since April. And my April Flex score was a 164. After my April Flex I actually felt pretty ok but I got a 164. My fear is that if I don't cancel my score it is likely that it will be lower than my April score since I felt much worse than last time. I worry that the drop will not make my application look good.

And lastly, I have already signed up for August so I am retaking it anyway.

Thank you in advance for your insights and help! And congrats to everyone who has finished the test and best of luck to those who haven't taken it : )

I studied for the LSAT for 3 months last summer but had to stop due to a personal matter. I am now picking it back up in preparation for the August LSAT. Anyone have advice on how to get back into LSAT prep after extended time away??

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a negative stigma against taking the LSAT 3 times?

I just took the June exam and although I didn't feel it was too hard, my nerves got the best of me during LG and I do not think I preformed well.. LG was really the section that I needed to do well on to carry me into my goal score. I am considering signing up for August depending on what my actual score it, and if my score is as low as I am thinking, I will have no choice but to take the exam again.

My question for you all is this: does it look bad to have three tests on your application? Do law schools look at it negatively if you received two not so great scores? I have been consistently scoring above my goal score for the last 7 weeks of prep. I know I am capable of it, I just need to find a way not to let the nerves in. I was honestly considering cancelling this score, but I read that definitely carries a negative stigma. Any knowledge on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

I'm well into week 2 and just noticed the little info button next to the curve that it shows when you click to see a question's right answer. But I'm a little confused by this sentence displayed on there:

"The percentage at the right is the expected chance that someone with the same score as you on that PrepTest getting that question correct"

A couple questions:

I don't see any percentages at the right of the curve, just the black circles that indicate question difficulty, which percentage is this referring to?

When it says "that PrepTest" does it mean someone who got the same score on that particular LSAT that you got on the diagnostic PrepTest taken at the beginning of the course?

I've tried searching the forums but haven't found anything like this.

This might have an obvious solution, but I'm relatively new to 7Sage so please bear with me.

I'm signed up for the August test and have been alternating my PTs between the "simulate flex" option and the default four-section option, because neither seems to be a perfect representation of the August and later LSAT format. The flex option doesn't built stamina for a four-section test, but the default option isn't a 1:1 scoring conversion because there are two graded LR sections. I'm curious if there's a better approach. What have you found to be the best way to simulate the August test format?

(Maybe 7Sage will update the test options soon now that the three-section flex is no more? I'd love to take a four-section test--even if the extra section is always LR because of the previous test format--and have all four sections "graded" so I can review incorrect answers but only have three count toward my actual score.)

Hey guys, i just started studying for the LSAT using 7sage a few weeks ago. I completed the LR Section up till Assumption and weakening questions and then i jumped to LG Curriculum. Do you think i should go order wise or can i complete LG first and then jump to LR? Is it very inter related? Because i've heard that LG should be the first section you learn to tackle as its the easiest to boost your score in.

That's really it - ya'll be warned. I was pretty sad about this :/

I am planning on taking my final lsat in October and hopefully when i get my score, I can submit all my applications. But i was wondering if applying at the end of October is still considered “early”?

Hi everyone!

I just tried to take the writing exam and it did not work at all ( I couldn't even pass the ID test). Although my face was shown on the right hand corner (so my camera was working), nothing happened with the grey box (which I think your ID is suppose to show/be??). I reached out to PSI and after over an hour of tech help, they still couldn't resolve the issue. Did anyone experience anything similar and managed to solve the problem? In the end, they said it was my wifi but checking through ProctorU, it says my download speed is about 10x the minimum. Very confused so any advice is appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi everyone- just finished a practice test and am feeling like I'm just not cut out for this. I've been studying since Feb and am taking the August LSAT. My score has remained the same, if not gotten worse. I feel prepared when studying but when it comes to the test I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.

Wondering if anyone has any tips or ideas as to why I'm unable to improve. Or just if anyone else feels this same way- misery loves company.

I am taking the LSAT on Tuesday and want to make sure that the proctors are muted during your test? If someone can also run through how the whole proctor u experience works on test day, it would really calm my nerves (first time test taker). Thanks so much. #help

I've tried to use the Advanced Search function for the forums. In the Advanced Search page, I want to sort by date. To do so, I've tried to use the "newer than" function, but that doesn't seem to produce any search results. It's the same no matter what search term I use.

For example, if I search "games" and change the "newer than" to "this month", I get no results. Same if I do "this year." And there have obviously been posts containing "games" over the past month and year. Any idea how to fix this?

Hey all,

Anyone willing to share their progress with the rest of the site! It's discouraging seeing minimal improvement after studying for so long and it would be nice to see how others have improved. Here's how I'm faring after 6 months of study. The last 10 tests have been about 163-164 on the dot and I'm afraid that I'm reaching a plateau. I just want to know those who've almost touched the sun, 170+s what their progression was like.

6 months ago: (Timed Diag) 152

3 months ago: (After core curriculum) 159 timed

today: average 164 (on PT 50)

I have tried linking my 7sage account to my lsac prep plus account and I am being told by my lsac account that "This coach is already assigned to this user". I don't get it and I don't understand why my LSAC prep plus account will not be linked to my 7sage account.

As someone who is by definition an overthinker, I wanted to give those who fall prey to the same way of thinking some encouragement.

Stop overthinking your studies.

Overthinking leads to analysis paralysis where you'll end up worrying/overanalyzing/overthinking your LSAT studies instead of actually doing them.

Get a plan, stick with it, and work hard. The rest will come to you.

While I take the June 2021 LSAT tomorrow, my LSAT journey is long from over. However, I thought it might be an appropriate time to thank 7Sage. Firstly, for the content and organized approach to studying for this demonic exam. Secondly, that they provide LSAT studiers with the opportunity to study this content at an incredibly reduced rate. As a person from an impoverished background who solely supports himself through undergrad, I cannot thank 7Sage enough. Studies show that tutoring, particularly for an exam like the LSAT, will increase your score significantly. This widens an already massive chasm that exists between poor and wealthy students -- and this is not to scorn the latter. 7Sage's core curriculum and JY's snarky remarks were the closest thing I could get to professional tutoring and I am extremely grateful!

Is anyone interested in studying for the LSAT with availability during the day? Let's hook up on Zoom

Hello!

I keep seeing a lot of comments of people who think that the priority section under results refers to whether the question itself is considered to be high or low priority in general. I thought I would make a post to clarify this, in case it helps anyone.

When it says a question is high priority it just means that it is high priority for you specifically. Meaning that you should review the video explanation because you got the question wrong before and after blind review or that you didn't blind review a question you got wrong which makes the system assume that you were 100 percent certain about your wrong answer.

So don't freak out! You are not getting high priority questions wrong. The priority tag gets assigned and tailored to you specifically AFTER your responses have been submitted. There is no standard set of high vs low priority questions.

I hope this is helpful to someone ✨

I started studying in March of this year using the Powerscore books and the Testing and Analytics membership.

I did all three Powerscore Bibles and their entire 3 month curriculum.

About a month before today's test, I realized I wasn't making "enough" progress. My goal is a low 160.

I joined 7Sage and tried to "Frankenstein" my approach to refine my weaknesses: doing PTs, analyzing my answers with the explanation videos.

I made some progress with explanation videos, after completing PT sections, but after today, it's clear I was not ready.

Where do I go from here? Private tutor? Do the 7Sage curriculum from scratch?

How do I regroup?

I am looking to retake a preptest that I took months ago and was wondering if there was a way to do this without deleting the past answers? Thanks!

Hey Everyone, quick question!

What is the protocol when it comes to scratch paper during the flex? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that we're supposed to rip up/destroy our scratch paper on camera after the test? I'm wondering if this a mandatory written rule. I don't recall reading this on the flex instructions.

I just took my LSAT writing, and I didn't rip up the scratch paper on the camera. I'm hoping this doesn't get my test flagged.

Thanks!

How does one identify a great private tutor? What's a reasonable hourly fee?

I took a test on Lawhub, is there a way to transfer it to 7sage?

Is LSAT test taking skill acquired or innate?

Let's have a discussion.
