I am feeling unbelievably low right now and I would appreciate some advice on how to move forward.

I've been using the CC since January 2021, but overall I've been studying full time since September 2020. At the moment, I'm a little over 50% completed with the CC. I have not taken a PT since December (150) so I just took PT 36 to see where I would be scoring.

I scored a 147. I feel so fucking dumb. My LG improved significantly (from -14 to -7), but I am still bombing RC (-14) and LR (-15). I thought with at least completing a little over half of the CC I would have some type of increase in score.

I know I should restrategize how I'm studying because its clearly not efficient. I'm thinking I should continue foolproofing LG and drill LR and RC sets with in depth review instead of doing the CC for it. I've been doing CC in order and have been focusing way too much time strictly on LG. I think I need to force myself to rotate sections.

Any advice and words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

Title : )

It's just that people tend to title their discussions, and even question labeling, a bit differently (spacing, etc.) and search results turn out more than I want, so it's not always easy to search for relevant discussions before deciding whether to post my own.

Beyond this, I think it would be more efficient for us to be able to see all discussions in a single place to evaluate which ones are most helpful. As with the LR Qs that do have video explanations.

My highlight and underling features are not showing up when I go to do problem sets on the site. There is also no option to cross out answer choices or to complete the section early. All of these features were available for me two days ago. Is this happening to anyone else and does anyone know how to fix this?

So, when I Blind Review right now, I BR every single question, even the ones that I don’t flag. I take note of the answers that I change that I didn’t flag, but I just started timed tests and to me it doesn’t make any sense not to do an in-depth analysis of the entire test. I mean, I guess I could go through the step of just flagging every question, but it kind of feels silly to do that just so I can give myself permission to go over the entire test. Plus, I genuinely want to know which questions I had doubts about in the moment and if I flag everything then I probably won’t remember.

I get that the whole point is to test the accuracy of your confidence, but to me at this stage it feels more valuable to be analyzing every question. I figure at some point after I’ve gained enough experience, I’ll stop BRing questions I feel confident in, and that’s where the method of just reviewing flagged questions will kick in.

I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts on this. Am I putting myself at a disadvantage, or does it not matter at this stage? I think there’s stuff to be learned from every question, even from the super easy questions I probably got right. Why not take the opportunity to look at those as well?

thought I'd share some self-affirmations with those taking the Flex this weekend:

I've studied hard and worked diligently and persevered in spite of setbacks, and I will continue to push forward because I am capable and I have a strong grasp of the fundamentals.

I am in control of the LSAT. I am the pilot of this plane.

I am calm and I am collected.

I have tremendous potential to excel and I am confident in my own skills.

I have faith in me. I believe in myself.

I deserve kindness and gentleness and I will take care of myself no matter what happens.

I have a bright future ahead of me and I am excited for it.

I am ready for my future.

Hi all, im Jeremy and ive signed up for 7sage after I found the Khan Academy course to be a little simplistic in nature. (honestly didnt do the entire course there, just did Logic Games and decided to quit and pursue 7sage)

Ive done the GMAT before and for the GMAT its best to kind of take a mix and match of a few courses to get a competitive edge and not be caught unaware at the time of test taking

Has anyone done any other LSAT courses before reaching the 7Sage Lsat? Have you, then in that case, found that the knowledge gained there is superior/inferior or at par with this course?

Thanks in advance

Jeremy

as you guys move through the problem sets in the CC do you do them timed, blind review, then check? or do you do them all untimed? just trying to figure out the most beneficial strategy. Thanks

So I have already finished The Lsat Trainer and took a few PTs. I just got 7sage on April 2, and I have access to it till August 2. I am taking the LSAT in June AND August. However, I don't know if I will have time to get through the entire 7sage core curriculum and take a bunch of practice tests. What should I do? Is it better to make sure i do the full 200+ hours of full curriculum and take less PTs, or are PTs/blind review more effective than the lessons?

Hello all, I just recently took my 1st lsat and I am preparing for June for a retake and I am aiming for 160+ From the low 150s and I wanted to know what is a good study schedule after the CC , should I focus on one section for a long time by doing timed sections and drills then move on to another or should I rotate sections in with PTs... I want to study smarter this go around and any tips are welcomed

Hey everyone! I was wondering what everybody's opinion was on this question. I actually studied for about 3 weeks in Jan because I thought I was going to take the April LSAT, then had a really long break in between because of school + work and switched to the June LSAT. My diagnostic had a 151, and I am aiming big (175)- I would be a super splitter (3.15) so it's a need for the schools I am going for. I have the LSAT Trainer book, the Powerscore books, and am supplementing Khan Academy (currently doing 1-2 hours a day for the past week or so when I started back up).

Does anyone recommend any applications that can help with reducing RAM? Also, if RAM is slightly over (1-2%), would that significantly impact LSAT Flex? Thanks!

I am too tempted to look at my score after each practice test to do blind review via the 7Sage interface (I still do it, but not in the streamlined and convenient way that 7Sage offers). Can you please add the ability to see your score (or at least the option to do so) before doing "blind review?" Thanks!

Hello! I hope everyone's doing fine with LSAT. I'm taking LSAT-flex in coming days. I'm wondering whether we can use ctrl+F during LSAT-flex (cuz I just spent one whole minute on one RC question trying to spot where one person's name was mentioned lol). I heard that they aren't disabling this function, but do they consider the use of this function as cheating?

Hello fellow 7sagers,

I was wondering, if anyone was interested in forming a social/network/support group. The purpose of the group talk about LSAT, law school and even non-law school related topic. We can arrange a time to host each other maybe bi-weekly, monthly, or whenever possible via zoom. Am also hoping that this group will support us through our legal career.

I wish everyone the very best in their legal journey.

Here is the link to the group

You're invited to my new group 'LSAT Social/Network/Support Group' on GroupMe.

Hi all,

I'm new to 7sage. I've been looking at the section on Blind Review and I can't seem to find an answer to this (in the forum either) but maybe it's just because I haven't yet taken a PT via 7sage, only through the LSAC Lawhub.

With LSAC, once you complete a PT your score and right/wrong answers show up automatically. If you go back through to circle (or in this case "flag") your unsure answers, it will show the correct answer in a box. I gather from the videos that this will bias me towards those answer and will therefore be unhelpful.

When you take PTs via the 7sage interface, is here an extra step between finishing your test and actually revealing all the answers? Is this built in so you can do that blind review step?

Thanks in advance!

Giulia

are you able to retake a practice test? if so, how? I don't see the option #help

[...] connection problem? There is a three day window for the scheduling of exams. Will they hear problems and allow retakes under certain circumstances?

Might be helpful in the LG section.

Maybe it's just me but also my honest feedback having been a 7sage student for months now. Some of these explanation videos can be frustrating. It assumes I have the same mindset, thinking or approach to J.Y. and doesn't even address remaining answer choices. "This answer is obviously wrong;" "Answer E is just crazy;" "once you figure it out C becomes obvious;" "there's no need to go over the other answers."

I mean they (wrong answer choice) clearly aren't that obvious if I chose it for my final answer.

You sure the answer is crazy? Cuz I was convinced it was the right answer lol.

It would be great, (especially) for LR if we get explanations as to why the wrong answers are wrong. For some of us, they may not be as obvious.

I'm unable to select problem sets with the new function. Help

I've been studying for about a year and RC has always been my worst section (currently I average around -6). I've been mainly studying by myself but I feel like I could use some extra RC help. I'm wondering if anyone has tried Graeme Blake's (LSAT Hacks) mastery seminars, particularly the one on RC. It's 200$ so I'm a bit hesitant.

Feel free to duplicate and use as an aid in reviewing!

Each database includes a Default (Kanban) view to track how many times you have reviewed each problem, and a table view where you can sort problems by the reason you made the mistake. Each table also has a column for you to note important takeaways you noticed when reviewing the problems.

I hope this will be useful for some of you!

Hey there! I am just wondering if anyone out here has tried the Camo Review method from Elemental Prep. How does it compare to blind reviewing in your opinion? Personally, I find it to be a better way to go about LR blind reviewing (and possibly reading comprehension), but I am curious if there are some drawbacks that I am missing that others have caught on to.

Hello,

I was just wondering if anyone knows any information regarding the LSAC Prep Plus Subscription and if I would need to subscribe to it to keep seeing PrepTests on here (7sage). I dont use the lawful.lsat.org site however I did log on to see if there was anything of interest and it says that my expiration date is approaching. If anyone has any information in regards to this I would greatly appreciate it.

I could really use advice from other 7 Sagers. I've been subscriber and hanging out on the message boards since late last summer and I've seen this community give great input and support to each other. Can you help me make a decision?

Here's my situation. I'm a non-traditional student with 20+ years experience in healthcare administration, a masters degree (MHA) and a 3.0 undergrad GPA from 25+ years ago. I work full-time and took the the LSAT in February and scored a 153. Because of my life situation I need to start law school this year, even if it means going to a less than stellar program. I have no idea how schools will look at me since I'm not a superstar or even a splitter, so I've applied to a variety of schools (a T-20, several T-50s, and a few more down towards the bottom).

I registered to retake the test this Saturday and, for schools that offered, I've requested they hold off evaluating me until that score is available with hopes that I'll see an increase. But, my fulltime work schedule hasn't allowed much time to study and my recent PTs have only gone up by a few points (156).

So my question for ya'll is, should I cancel my test this Saturday if I'm not sure I can score higher? Even worse, what if I get a lower score - how would schools view that?
