Hi, I'm studying the lsat in South Korea and was wondering if there was a tutor I can study with.

I'm a lone LSAT studier and always see people posting on here looking for study buddies or creating very ~exclusive~ high scoring study groups

I'm genuinely interested in what y'all do--taking August LSAT so prob a bit late to join this party but just out of curiosity, if you've ever had a 7sage or reddit study buddy what did you do together? Review exams? Vent about LSAC? Moral support?

Hi everyone,

Foremost, I appreciate everyone for reading my post. I am wondering what I should do when I am done with the CC. I intend to do every PT. I am wondering what steps I should follow when doing the PTs. For example, do I take a timed test and blind review? Should I compile a wrong question note? Could you please share exact steps you took for approaching each PT?

I know that they are precious, so I don't want to just burn through them. Please help.

To prep for the August 2021 LSAT, I have been taking the 4 section PTs. Does each PT on the 7sage website have 2 sections of LR or does it rotate? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm looking to take the October/November exam and am looking for some advice. Is it reasonable to think I could get my score up to at least a 170 on the test by that time? I'm starting from a 154. If it is feasible to be in the 170s by that point, how should I approach studying within that time frame? If it doesn't sound feasible, during which month should I take the test? (For reference I'm going into my junior year of college and will need the score by July 1st)

7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we are upgrading the servers.

PDT: 11pm Saturday, July 17 late night

EDT: 2am Sunday, July 18 early morning

We expect that the site will be available again within an hour. But even if things go sideways, it will definitely be back online by the next morning.

Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Edit: Maintenance is complete. Total downtime 40m. Thanks!

Hey 7 Sage Community!

The course has been very helpful and I started from a 143, on my first diagnostic to the early 160s (180-163) range. I'm starting to hit a slump where I don't really know how to progress as of a week ago. Does anyone have any overarching strategies they've used to break through their slump periods? I'm hoping to get out of this slump, even if it's by one point. Testing Date: August 2021.

Thanks!

Hi! I have been doing older PT (1990s) and I was wondering if I should just focus on more recent ones (2007 -->) . I am planning on writing my test in August. I have read that that later tests are harder but I have been scoring significantly better on those than in older tests. Any recs? or should I study both.

Hello All, I am having a very though time with the LSAT. Is there's any book or tutor out there anyone know that can help me, I would appreciate it.

thank you.

I got a 155 on my last practice test with a 170 on my blind review...huge difference I know. Any advice on how to close the gap? This just proves I KNOW the material. I KNOW how to approach the questions. I need help with timing and making sure I can preform my best in the time allotted. Has anyone gone through this and figured out a strategy for turning your BR score into your actual?

Please help.

If you can achieve mastery when practicing under difficult conditions (i.e., lesser time than allotted), then you can surely excel and feel confident, relaxed, get in the flow when you have beneficial conditions

Work will always expand to fill the time allotted.

-Even when I added the extra 50% to my practice, it still took me more than the time allotted (52 minutes.).

-Scores are fairly consistent unless you're rushing haphazardly. I found that when I reduced my allotted time from 52 min. down to 35 min., I began to receive the same score per section as before.

Just some things I found helpful!

Hi everyone, I'm making problem sets & forgot to add 1 question into the set. Does this mean I have to create the set all over again? Is there a button that would allow me to just edit and add 1 question instead of having to start from 0? Thanks

Would you commute 1.5 hours (3 hours total a day) if you got a 50%-60% ride? Or would you stick to a 20 minute commute for a 30% ride? We have a Chevy volt so gas really isn't a huge issue.

I am following the schedule of the for the October 2021 test. While reviewing the weekly curriculum I noticed that after week 5, I start taking 5-6 LSAT's a week up until test day. Is this recommended? I feel like it takes me at least two days to take a test, blind review, and watch/review explanations to any missed questions. Not sure I would have enough time to do that many in one week. Thanks!

Prior to 7Sage, I used Princeton Review and Khan Academy. Both of these resources did not limit their examples to PT 1-35 like 7Sage did. I've been working my way through the tests but I've found myself remembering portions or even entire sections of a test. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to do when I find myself remembering RC passages or LG sections or LR questions?

Hey all,

I have time to work with 1-2 more students a few times per week this summer. 1L expanded my ideologies about the test and its importance. More about my background can be found on the tutoring page here:

Update: My inbox filled up more than expected and I no longer have openings. However, I am always willing to offer insights about the test or admissions process via DM. Happy Studying!

Jesse charges 200 an hour, but has some really good reviews. Has anyone turned to Jesse as a tutor, and is he worth the money?

Effective July 8, 2021, the LSAC have introduced two distinct Fee Waiver packages to assist candidates of varying economic circumstances. Candidates who meet the criteria will receive access to the following, based on the tier for which they are approved.

Tier 1: Designed for the most under-resourced candidates. Candidates approved for Tier 1 will receive, at no charge:

Tier 2: Designed for less under-resourced candidates. Candidates approved for Tier 2 will receive, at no charge:

Eligibility for the LSAC Fee Waiver Program is based on the U.S. federal poverty guidelines, with different thresholds for independent and dependent candidates. In the past, for example, an independent candidate earning less than or equal to 250% of the federal poverty guidelines, and a dependent candidate earning up to 150% of the poverty guidelines, were eligible for the LSAC fee waiver, provided they met thresholds for cash balances, overall assets, and other requirements.

Under the new program, an independent candidate earning up to 250% of the federal poverty guidelines will continue to be eligible for the Tier 1 fee waiver package. An independent candidate earning 250-300% of the poverty guideline will now be eligible for the Tier 2 fee waiver package. Similarly, dependent candidates will be eligible for the Tier 1 fee waiver package if they earn up to 150% of the poverty guideline; if their income exceeds this amount, they can receive further consideration if their income combined with their family income does not exceed 300% of the poverty guidelines. All candidates will still need to meet other eligibility criteria.

In addition to creating the new tiered system for fee waivers, the LSAC is also increasing the maximum cash balances candidates can have and still qualify for one of the fee waiver tiers. Previously, the limitations on cash balances had prevented some candidates from qualifying for fee waivers.

The LSAC encourage students to apply for fee waivers at least six months in advance of when they plan to take the LSAT, so they have an opportunity to fully utilize PrepPlus, which is included in the fee waiver packages.

Are multiple colored highlighters allowed on the LSAT?

Should we be practicing with a 4th section to help us prepare for August test?

I just got back my June flex score today (since I delayed completing the writing sample) and am unsure whether to keep or cancel my score. This is my first LSAT take. I got a 156 and while it is within the range of how I've scored leading up to the test, albeit on the very low end, I was hoping to score at least in the low 160s since I have been scoring there, my last two PTs leading up to the June flex were both 163. I will definitely be retaking as I cannot apply with this score, but not sure at this point whether keeping it on file is worse or a cancel is.

About how long, on average, should someone study for the LSAT before taking the real test? Or, does it depend on how ready I feel via target scores on the practice tests?

Hi guys, I'm taking the test in August and live in NYC. I won't be able to take the test at home because I don't have a quiet place to do it. Wondering where NYC residents, if you have rented a place for lsat in this past year, have successfully (no wifi failure, not noisy, etc) completed this test at? Did you go somewhere outside of the city or just really far out in Queens, Bronx, or Brooklyn? Thanks!

What was that "flip of a switch" moment or piece of advice that dramatically changed your perspective of the LSAT or of how you go about your LSAT study?

I’ve tried different computers and different wifi and it is soooo slow.
