I feel like it's a good idea to do all 4 sections to help with stamina since the August will include the experimental section. I know I prefer doing PT's with 3 sections, but I curious as to what everyone is doing.

Hi all, looking to apply for Fall 2022 and looking for some sort of advice or maybe someone who's gone through something similar.

I've been studying for the LSAT for almooooost a year and I signed up for December 2020, April 2021 and decided to push my test to June coming up. My reasons for pushing the past two times was because I had not reached my goal score of 150. I met that goal in April but by April my new goal score was 155 so I pushed it until June. I'm currently at a 155 plateau and now my new goal score is 160. I'm considering pushing it until October. I feel a lot of guilt for pushing and so I can't decide whether or not to take it in June and then again in October. June would be my third time and October would make it my forth time. My reasoning for June is bad, it's the last flex and it's more curiosity and the fact that it's shorter.

I know this depends on the school and some of the schools that I am looking at take the highest score so technically taking it a fourth time with improvements wouldn't be an issue?

My schools are Drexel law, Temple law, Upenn law (reach), Rutgers, really they're all reach schools in my eyes because law school haha. Any advice? Thank you.

I have a 3.5 GPA and graduated with honors if that's any help. I know the other parts of my application are super important too.

will there be an update on the site to reflect the new testing format? 4 sections but the conversion of a flex or is that asking too much lol

Had a general question about overall LSAT strategy... I took the April LSAT flex for the first time and had tech glitches / proctor u problems that really created severe test anxiety for me (had to reschedule once, waited for hours on the day I actually had to take due to a tech glitch, proctor interrupted me etc). I got in the lower 160s (had been PTing 167 - 174)

In preparation for that test, I had done almost all of the PTs in the 60s - 80s starting with my studing in Jan 2021, and unfortunately feel like I had burned through the most recent PTs. To prepare for the June test, I've been doing PTs in the 50s which were totally new for me and redoing tests I had taken 5 - 6 months ago (so I've seen them, but its been awhile). I got a 177 on a test in the 50s that I had never done, and have been getting between 169 - 177 on the rest of the 7 tests I've taken post April Flex (although again, some I had done months ago and some were totally new tests to me).

I am still really anxious given I feel like I can take this 2-3 times at most for the T-14... am I better off waiting until I am consistently breaking 175? How will I know when I'm prepared given I still feel like I fluctuate? I was planning on applying to a junior year deferral program which is why I am aiming for June, but if I didn't do that I definitely want to work 1-2 years post grad (am entering my senior year). If I don't take the June test the earliest test I could take would be next fall (and will be working full time this summer so likely will take 3 months off). Am I better off taking a few months off so I forget the more recent PTs or is it dumb to lose my momentum and I should take the June test given where I'm at now (with the caveat that the higher scores are either on tests in the 50s or tests I'm redoing).

I signed up for June exam and have an accommodation for unstable internet. I am very worried about the WIFI issue since it stopped working for several minutes at my house once when I took my PT. But I am not sure if hotel will be a better choice since it will be a unfamiliar setting and may have some unforeseeable issue. Any suggestions about this WIFI thing or any recommendations for hotel or place in Boston or MA that will have stable internet for sure?

Many thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. i am looking to hire a LSAT tutor. My highest score is 155 on a PT and 151 on official LSAT. My end goal is 170. Please let me know if we can work together. I work full time and am available to meet virtually anytime after 6pm CST and during the weekends. thank you

Where can we go to see all the notes we have taken on videos?

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!

I am wondering how long each one of you spends on warming up and how do you choose which questions to do before taking a test?

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.

I dunno why but this thread has had me LOL'ing since yesterday.

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!! :)

#HELP

….Can I take it in the middle of my preparation when I am more confident?

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.

I'm currently using the Modern video player and the 2.4x and 3x speed playback options that were previously available are now gone.

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.

Regarding PT 53 Dec 2007,

is there a typo/word(s) missing in question 2 Elaine & Frederick in the question stem? What comes after "whether?"

Thanks!

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.
