Hi Y'all !

So as you can see I have a pretty big gap between my raw scores (Pt 40 - 147) and (Pt 41 - 150) and my latest BR score of 171. What are some helpful tips to close this Gap? My biggest problem is of course timing, whenever I am timed the anxiety and nervousness kicks in and comprehension drops. The LSAT is not friendly to those who have been slow readers their whole life. If you're on my boat, I know you feel my pain.

Thanks 7Sage!

Is anyone else having buffering issues on the videos? I have for the past 3 days. I've restarted my computer, joined different Wi-Fi networks, and cleared the past 7 days of my cache but nothing as worked so far. Does anyone have a solution?

I'm planning on taking the August 2021 Lsat and I'm trying to practice taking prep tests with the new format. It will be 4 section with 1 unscored. On 7 sage theres only the Flex LSAT (3 sections) or regular (4 sections all scored), does anyone have any tips on how I should practice.

I plan on taking the LSAT for my second time in August, and am about 1/4 through the core curriculum, and am wondering when I should start drilling on practice tests.

Should I take practice tests, then go through core curriculum on problem types that I did bad on, or should I finish the core curriculum, then re-watch any question types that I got wrong and try to fix my mindset? And then repeat that process to make sure I'm really learning the material?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Is there a way to modify the "Date Taken" for PrepTest that you manually input your score for? I had some pen & paper preptests that I took prior to signing up for 7sage and I would like to be able to include them in my analytics without it making my most recent score go down. Otherwise, it just sets the date taken as the date you input the answers on 7sage. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

Hello everyone,

I've been studying on and off since the summer of last year, in January I picked things up a bit and have seen a slight improvement in being able to pick up on wrongs and patterns more. I am however overwhelmed because I am not seeing the progress that I would like. I plan to take the test in November, can someone PLEASE help me come up with a study schedule? I work from home and have 5 to 6 hours a day to study but I don't know where to start, right now I am kind of jumping around and that's probably why I am not progressing as I would like. Should I do core lessons for one hour? Work out problems for another? I mean, I don't know I am clueless. I need a 165 , currently at 149-156 range and have 6 more months to get there. Also, what is the best study guide for the logic games, I really need help with that, if I can nail that, I think I can get to where I need to be.

I will greatly appreciate any feedback whatsoever. Thanks.

With us all dedicated to the LSAT and my life seemly is all LSAT for the past year.

I'd like to hear about some of the hobbies/ things you enjoy doing, are doing/will be doing once everything opens back up?

I liked to go trap shooting with my father before Covid hit. Or going snowmobiling out West in the mountains, even though I broke my leg a few years back that required 8 pins in my leg... I also like to go fishing in the gulf and or just getting out on the water and soaking up the sun. I feel like I haven't had any vitamin D since March 2020, because the LSAT and Covid. I feel like I could just grab a bottle of Sunny D and it absorbs through my skin😂😂

Hello,

I’m looking to take the LSAT in August and start law school in fall of 2022. The law school that I’m shooting for has a median LSAT score of 155. I’ve gotten through only 52 hours of the curriculum thus far. I’ve taken 2 practice test’s and scored a 147 and a 149. Also, my GPA is lower due to some poor decisions when I first entered college. So, I would love to at least make in the 160-165 ball park to hopefully make up for not having a stellar GPA. I

I work a full-time job and am attending school part-time while studying for the LSAT. Any suggestions on what my next few months of studying should look like?

Thank you!

I take the June LSAT-Flex and have been studying but not seeing a ton of improvements. I am aiming for at least a 156 on my first LSAT. Im kind of confused on whether or not there is a curve still in place for the flex exam. For example, I scored a 148 on the November 2019 preptest doing the flex format. I scored -37 which would have given me a score of 155 on the score conversion chart that 7sage provides if it was the traditional four section format. Is there a curve for the flex exams in place or would I have scored a 148 if it would have been a flex originally.

Hello Everyone,

I wanted some insight, feedback or ideas that have helped you or someone you may know improve in their LSAT journey. I began studying for the LSAT during undergrad. Scored a 137 on July 2020 LSAT Flex while working two jobs with minimal understanding of LG (worst section). Currently, prepping for the June 2021 LSAT Flex since it's the last test I am able to use my LSAC fee waiver on since it expires in July.

With that being said, I am looking to accomplish a 150+ score. Not a strong test taker at all. My top school is Georgia State and their median is 157, I've seen people getting in with 153+. I have a 3.79 LSAC GPA and a couple softs that will aid admission decision. Currently on PTs scoring 140-144. Average about 8-9 correct on LR/LG.

What areas should be focused on for improvements? Best way to improve in RC? What are ways of improving that worked for you? Just any helpful ideas on improving LSAT will be heavily appreciated.

What do you guys feel about taking an extended break?

I student 6 days a week (3, 2-hours sessions). Sometimes I'll do games for fun if I'm not tired or dabble with some weird LR question, or an untimed 90's ruthless passage- which can be a total of 7 hours per day. I've heard people who've had positive experiences taking about a week off. In my experience, the 6 days a week with sundays off works. Granted, I'm not as motivated as I am on friday & saturday as I'll be on a monday but I get through it. While I'm not burned out, I'm considering trying the extended off days to see if it'll impact my work. While there is some improvement, it no way reflects the work I'm putting in. I've become numb to the experience and treat it as a job. I don't excited to study but I don't put it off because I don't want to. I just stick to schedule.

What do you guys think about taking a week off? Have you tried it? How did it impact you?

I constantly find myself checking my remaining time especially during RC and LC. I know this puts me at a disadvantage because i get so stressed about making sure that i have enough time to answer the remaining questions that i don't put my full effort into answering the questions right in front of me. All- in- all i feel distracted because of my constant need to watch the remaining time clock. Does anyone have any advice/tips that have helped them?

For me it takes 10 (and 1/8th?) Dixon Ticonderogas in black (bc the erasers are better and black is cool). Just cleaning some stuff out and remembered I'd been saving these in my "used" pencil shot glass... just the ones I used on games. Different way to visualize that while we can tweak methods for individual efficiency, and it may seem hopeless sometimes, you ultimately just need to put in the work and have faith in the process. Eventually, maybe like 10 pencils in (or likely less for anyone besides me), you'll get there.

Took the April LSAT and have given myself time off from studying until now. I am not sure I will retest (waiting until I find out my score to register for June), and I am not sure where to start studying again. Any advice on how folks have started studying a second time would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All,

I'm wondering how I should prioritize my time in order to get the most out of 7Sage. For reference I am scoring in the low-150s now, and am hoping to score in the low 160s by the time I take the August 2021 LSAT. Of the two strategies listed below, which strategy might be the most efficient way to spend my time studying?

  • Aim to complete every learning module first, and then move on to drilling Practice Tests?

  • Split my time somewhat evenly between modules and tests?

    • I do pretty poorly on the LG and LR Sections, so my gut is telling me that drilling practice tests without some major foundational work on those sections would not be the best use of my time. However, I don't want to spend so much time on modules that I miss out on the experience of gaining the test-taking stamina, practicing under time constraints, etc. that comes with drilling Practice LSATs.

    I'm open to any and all takes :)

    Thank you!

    When my writing sample time was up, I looked over my submission again and realized I freaking left a draft paragraph in there!! There are basically two iterations of a paragraph, but they make slightly different points. I'm irritated with myself for such a small yet confusing mistake (it's not clear which is the one to be deleted). What should I do now? Can I schedule a retake for this? I doubt it but want to ask y'all anyway. I'm planning to retake the LSAT and rewrite the essay, but are both samples going to be sent with my score? Thoughts on how I can rectify? TIA!

    When you go in to BR questions, there's a box at the bottom of the A/C that allows you to type in your own notes.

    I'd love to be able to transfer these saved notes to a separate document later if needed, but currently CTRL+C doesn't seem to work here. I'm guessing it might have ST to do with us not being allowed to CTRL+C the questions and answers themselves.

    Site admins, is there a way you could make it possible for us to just copy our own study notes from questions?

    Hi everyone,

    We are rolling out an update tonight at roughly 9pm PDT, 12am midnight ET that will log everyone out. After the logout, you should be able to login immediately.

    Because of the logout, please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set during this time so that your work is not interrupted.

    If you are in the middle of a PrepTest or Problem Set at the time of the update, the tester should detect the logout and ask you to refresh the page. However, you may lose your last minute of work.

    Sorry for the trouble!
