Hi all! I've been studying for a little while now but I still think I need to get into the groove of a study schedule. Do you guys take 1 PT a week, BR, then review the test, and drill all 3 subjects in that order (and does that last you a week)? Or is there another way your weeks/ days typically look? What does a typically day/ week look like for you? Has this gotten you results/ relatively steady score increases?

I am in the low-mid 160s right now (With 2 random score of 170 and 173) trying to find a study schedule that will give me more consistent results, and help with self discipline. I'd love to year how you all are approaching this!

Hey Guys,

Just for reference, I'm currently a rising junior in college.

I just have a quick question for some advice. I took my first diagnostic maybe ~6 months ago (and scored a 160), and went through a decent amount of the 7sage curriculum, but very rushed (in under a month). I also didn't do any of the reading, just finished LG and LR quickly. I just took another PT, PT51 (flex version), and scored a 166 (-3LG, -3LR, -6RC). My ideal goal score is a ~172, so does it seem reasonable to get there for the next November test?

Also, I'm fine with taking it more than once, which is why I'm planning to take it so early, and I will be abroad in the spring so I can't take it then.

Thanks so much!

In desperate need of a tutor. Preferably a free tutor because I don’t have much money to pay for one.

Scored a 152 on Jan. Test

On average I miss around -8 in each section. Looking to gain better understanding of the test, best method of studying, and test taking strategies.

Hello! I am looking for a private remote tutor (one on one preferably, but open to small group settings). Preferably someone who is familiar with both 7Sage and Powerscore concepts since I've been studying primarily using the two.

If anyone has any recommendations for a good tutor please let me know!! :)

I started keeping a wrong answer journal which has been helpful! But im struggling a lot with the organization. I get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff on my spreadsheet. Any recommendations for format or how to keep it from getting too chaotic.

I recently took PT 83 and added time and a half and got a 160. It seems like I am starting to get the concepts down, but how can I get faster to be able to achieve that in normal time? I am getting better at LG but struggle with completing it. Same with RC.

Hey all, I graduated college 6 years ago, and looking to change my career by going to law school. To be frank, I am actually going to the career that I had always wanted to (i.e. to be a lawyer). But since finishing college (Brown), life has taken a different turn.

It would be great to meet other people like me. I disliked all sorts of standardized test when I was young, so it's still a challenge for me to study for the LSAT. haha! But I am excited.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Hey guys, Im having a lot of trouble with Logical Reasoning so I got the loophole and powerscore book to read. Im following the 7Sage syllabus and Im in the middle of the Validity and Must Be True sections. However, I want to read these books first and then finish the 7sage LR. Do you guys think it would be ok if I skip down to Logic Games while I read these books? Im not really sure if Im going to be missing information from LR that I need in LG. Thanks everyone!

Hey folks,

I'm holding office hours again because it was fun last time (https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/28551/impromptu-office-hours-whos-on-their-grind-today-done) and I just got another late cancellation. While I could just take a half day and be happy, I'm not going to because I'm the kind of person who tutors the LSAT for a living (weird doesn't even begin to describe it). And this time, the schedule shift even came early enough that I can actually give ~15 hours of notice! Yay. Maybe next time, it'll be a full day in advance.

Anyway, I will hold open court from 4pm-6pm at least (the time and length of the original lesson I had planned). After that, we'll see how long I feel like sticking around/when I get hungry enough to wander off in search of dinner. As with last time, I might be fiddling with some random stuff or get distracted occasionally, but I'm happy to talk shop while doing it.

[Done!]

And, since last time I realized that nobody probably knows who I am or why anyone would care, I'll paste my tutor directory description here for reference:

"After graduating from Columbia Law in 2010, I've taught the LSAT both alongside and in parallel with JY as my full time employment and passion. JY and I gave LSAT seminars together up and down the east coast with PreProBono for a while, and I was around when 7Sage was just a figment of JY's imagination. I'm still the only person beside JY himself who's ever had an official instructional video up on the site. In addition to my private tutoring work, I'm PreProBono's senior instructor, a featured instructor for 7Sage, and run the LSAT department for a small test prep boutique in New York City as their lead tutor.

I've worked with students from all across the United States and also internationally, from a diverse set of countries including China, Korea, Qatar, France, Brazil, Canada, Turkey, and the Netherlands. My tutoring achievements include a 136-to-172 score jump, sending students to Harvard in 7 of my 9 years of tutoring (including one year where I sent three students to Harvard and four to NYU in the same cycle), and having students of mine attend every T14 except Stanford (because they're picky) and UVA (a lot of acceptances, but sadly no matriculations), many with substantial scholarships.

While I'm not egotistical enough to say I've seen it all, I know the LSAT inside and out and I'm confident I can help you out no matter what your situation is."

Of course, there's a perfectly reasonable argument to be made that you still shouldn't listen to me. I do swear quite a bit, after all (so if you have sensitive sensibilities, this might not be your jam). But I suppose the only way you'll find out for sure is to listen for yourself.

Hope to see some of you there!

Hi all - I’ve been pting in the low/mid 170s and blind reviewing close to 180. Hoping to close this gap (~-3 rc/Lr) by offering free tutoring in LR and RC. Happy to also help with LG questions but frankly nothing beats fool proofing games. Feel free to PM me to set something up.

Hey all, so I'm taking the June LSAT (cannot be pushed back, already pushed from April) and I'm still looking to improve in my score. I'm scoring consistently around 166-168, but I really want to break into a confident 170 in time for the June test. My weaknesses are LR (-3 to -5) and RC (-1 to -5), but I'm set for LG (-0 or -1).

My typical method of studying is taking either LR or RC problem sets every day, while taking a PT approximately once a week. This helped me improve from -7 to -5 in LR, and similarly for RC, but I have not seen much improvement recently. I want to dedicate a couple of hours every weekday and all Saturday or Sunday to studying, and I really want to maximize the last three weeks.

Does anyone (in a similar position/score/goal) have any recommendations on how to study best? Or, generally, what studying techniques (with the exceptions of reading a book and tutors) have you utilized to best improve your score/understanding?

Thanks!

I just got 169 and 170 back to back after plateauing for a while after my previous 169. Do not give up folks, you got this. When I started in January so many comments on Reddit and other sites claimed it is unlikely to get a 20+ point increase and that scared me, glad I didn't listen. Even if I bomb my first LSAT coming up this June, ill just take it again and again until I get what I know I can get. Feel free to ask me anything.

Hello, everyone! I began my training with 7sage this past Monday. I am currently registered for the October 2021 LSAT, which will be my first ever test. I did study a bit during quarantine last year, but the prep course I was taking did not help me to improve a significant amount. I am already seeing improvements with 7sage. My current plan is to study from around 9:30am to 5pm on Monday through Friday. Does anyone else have a similar schedule worked out? I plan to set aside Saturday and Sunday for other activities and to rest. I am wondering if two consecutive days of break with halt my progress.

Hey folks,

I know that because of burnout, a lot of people advise you take a break. So I did, which was great! I took a week off, and I really feel like I cleared my headspace, feel less anxious, and re-found my reason for wanting to go to law school in the first place. But I've been studying again for about three weeks, and my scores have regressed. I'm not sure what else to do. I want to take the June test, but I'm still at my 160s hump.

How do you get over this? What have you found to be most useful?
