Hello,
I want to re-buy the yearly 7sage course; however, it says that my account is not bundled with Prep Plus through my LSAC account. I'm wondering how I bundle with Prep Plus so that I can have access to all the materials. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hey guys,
I recently finished most of the core curriculum (I didn't finish the grouping games nor start the RC because I got burnt out and was ready to start doing some PTs to see where I stand. I started with a 153 diagnostic and just scored a 161 and 164 on my first two PTs. I plan to take roughly 6 PTs a week - and BR those - until I take the Flex in June, as well as piece away at the RC part of the curriculum over the next 2 weeks. I'm curious if you guys think it is possible to hit 170's by June and if my study plan adequately sets me up to reach this goal.
Hey All,
Curious to get your thoughts on how you believe the curve will be impacted with the change to the four section test. From some of the podcasts I've been listening to it seems the curve was more relaxed for the flex. Would love to hear other's thoughts on this.
I average around a 151 ... got really lucky getting into SMU ... made my tuition deposit ... ... what worries me is the COA ($245 k including undergrads loans) ... don’t know if I can get a better deal by reapplying .... SMU gives out very little money ... all the other Texas schools I saw even A&M gave out little money ....
I feel like this admission cycle was
I feel like next year will be more competitive... and we will definitely see more people scoring 170+ than this year
I’m seriously trying to practice in the state of Texas ... but don’t know if reapplying to even a NY school here that is free ... would give me any shot at practicing in Texas in the future
If I were to take on that debt at SMU ... the REPAYE payment plan would be an option if I don’t end up making enough for a 10/20 year repayment plan
Open to all opinions

Hey everyone. I'm gearing up to begin studying for my second LSAT and this time around I'm planning on using 7sage. Last summer I took a TestMasters Course, but after speaking to others I believe that 7sage will be a much better resource. I have two concerns about this switch though. One, I'm worried that I might be wasting a lost of time retouching on core curriculum. I certainly need a refresher on the content, but I don't know how much time is worth relearning strategies when I could be PT'ing. Second, I'm unsure of which practice tests I took in the past, and if it's worth retaking them. Let me know if you have any input or similar experiences.
I know that the LSAT will be changing after June and making it a 4 section test with a break in between. Do you think the people taking the 4 sections will have a disadvantage compared to the LSAT Flex? I am wondering whether the break we get in between outweighs the cons of adding another section to the test. What do you think? I want someone to convince me that the 4-sections LSAT is not all that bad!
Can we get a feature where we just adjust the times for taking sections and prep tests. 5 mins increments/decrements in time are more useful than jumping from a timed section to a time and half.

Happy (little tree) Monday everyone!
I know there are a ton of other more pressing things to be anxious about such as the test itself. But I am a first time test taker for the June LSAT and I cannot shake my anxiety about proctor u. Like I’ve spent all this time studying and I feel like some technical issue could derail everything!
Would anyone be able to enlighten me as to what happens if there is a complete technical fail on test day?? Do you then have to wait until the August test to re-take?! Or have they built some re-take days into June to account for this issue? Has Proctor U done anything to improve since the lsat went flex? I’ve read so many comments about proctors stopping the test multiple times, or camera not working, etc. that it freaks me out. thanks!!
Hello, I am new here, planning on taking the LSAT in a bit over 4 months and I’m planning on dedicating 8 hours a day.
So my question is for those that have been doing this, is it a general rule to accomplish all 800 hours in 7Sage? Or is it relative per person? please share your thoughts, id love to hear some.
If I take a PT simulated flex, is that the best route to go? I know that's how it will be when I take the flex LSAT but I also don't want to miss out on the practice that the other section would give me. Advice??
I subscribed to 7Sage monthly and have already paid for this last month (I'm about 2 weeks away from the next charge). If I stop my plan now (I took the April LSAT), will I still have access to my account/core curriculum for the rest of the "month"?
Additionally, if I plan to retake the LSAT and need to sign up for the monthly plan again, will my account be retained if I sign up using the same email?

My PTs typically range 155-157. Per section based on the flex option: LR (-8), RC (-9), and LG (-7). I believe that I have made significant progress in understanding the question types and how to successfully implement strategies. However, this implementation does not go so well when I am actually taking a timed PT. I have a nearly 100% accuracy rate throughout each section but run out of time, thus resulting in many guesses. On average -- on a 3 section test -- it looks like I am having to guess on 15 questions cumulatively. Now, it is important to note that I do not have this timing issue when doing sections alone and not PTs. I think it may have to do with the anxiety associated with taking the full test. On BR, I rarely miss any questions, so it is certainly a timing issue. Is there any advice in overcoming the anxiety aspect of taking PTs and the official exam?
Does anyone know if control F is allowed on the LSAT flex?
I only see the option to take a PT with more time added, but not unlimited time. Is this an option anywhere?
Hey everyone, my course just expired. With this in mind, I have a few questions regarding an expired course. The first question is, do I still have access to the course materials/videos other than the prep tests. Does access to the course materials ever expire? Additionally, I would like to know if I need to buy Prep Plus to access the practice tests again. Or, alternatively, do I need to buy the course over again to have access to all the materials. Please answer if you can. Thank you!
Hi everyone, is there a section of this site that explains how to actually interpret the data in the Question Performance section. In particular, I am trying to decipher the "timing" bar. I like to hover over it and compare my time to the target time, but I would like to better understand why it is sometimes green/red and what the different letters over the bar indicate (how long I spent debating that answer?). Thanks for your #help!
I'm done with the April exam. It's been a week. How do I start studying again without scores? Anyone else struggling with this?
I have difficulty in this one. Looks like, I can only choose by elimination, as BCDE are not good. D is, however, may be related. However, A has mentioned something outside the scope of question. I am debating, as this is an assumption, I would be very hesitate to get A, as A assumes something not given.
Hey all! I'm curious for anyone who would know the best: is it better to do some LR core curriculum sets one day, then some LR sets the next day, then RC sets the next day (etc.), or is it better to just go in chronological order and just do all the LR sets, then the LG, sets, then the RC sets?
I am leaning more towards jumping between sets because I'm worried that by the time I get to the RC section I may have forgotten some of the LR or even LG material.
Thank you in advance to anyone who has any suggestions/advice!
I'm currently working through the course syllabus in the order presented, but I know that I really struggle with logic games, which come later in the course. Is there any reason not to skip to the LG section now to give myself that much more time to practice?
Powerscore's April flex podcast review just dropped. In it, they discuss the predicted curves for each section administered on the April flex.
hi team, so I need help. I'm going to be applying next cycle- I took the August LSAT and was PTing around 163/4 and got a 161, which I was fine with since I figured I'd retake. I then studied for January and was consistently PTing around 167/8 by this point, took the test and felt GREAT about it, and ended up getting... a 161 again. I was honestly shocked and had a moment but now I'm trying to reevaluate what I should do. I'm leaning toward signing up for the June and not even really studying for it, just refreshing and taking a few practice tests for a few weeks before since I feel like my January test must have been a fluke. Does it look bad to have three LSAT attempts for admissions? and then there's part of me that worries the same thing will happen for this one that happened in January... do I just ride out my score and see what happens with admissions? would love ANY advice!
Hi,
I have been prepping for the LSAT for around 5 months and have broken the 160 threshold. How can I continue to improve upon my score to reach high 160s. I plan to take the LSAT in June.
The problem sets are typically given an allotted time of 30 minutes to complete (to take the problem set, blind review, then review with the answers/JY).
It usually takes me way longer than 30 minutes, typically 1 hour esp. for the level 5 problem sets. I take a long time in blind reviewing to understand every mistake and also during the actual review with JY for anything else I missed.
This can take a toll when I have scheduled to do like 9 problem sets in a day.
Does anyone else deal with this? And if so, how do you deal with this?
