Hey all,

I'm registered for the June LSAT. I have been studying/ watching 7sage videos and practicing since the beginning of February. For the final stretch what makes the most sense studying wise? Should I be doing a practice test weekly, biweekly? I have not completed all of the videos and practice sets but have a brief familiarity with every section. My weakest section is definitely Logic Games. Any advice? Thank you!!

I just noticed that LSAC has offically announced all LSAT tests after Augest will be come back to offline, and there will be only three formal sections: 1 RC, 1 LG, 1 LR and 1 test sections.

However, the current 7sage is undoublely emphasizing LR sections since in past there are 2 LR sections. There are about 120 hours of course, in contrast with 40 hours for LG and RC.

Just wondering should we put more effort on RC and LG right now with the change of LSAT mentioned above?

Looking to tutor 1-2 people free of cost. The requirements are that you've gone through the CC (thoroughly) and are currently in the PT/Section phase of your studies. Low-income/students with fee waivers will get preference. We'll have a brief call where you can tell me about yourself and your goals to see if we're a good fit.

I've been tutoring casually for a while now, however, I myself am still a student of the LSAT and will be the first person to admit if I don't feel as though I can help or don't understand something. Last 3 PT avg is 174.5/180 BR.

Hello friends. I'm curious about what metric our practice tests are gauged against. The "average" score that is shown next to my practice test results - is that the average of 7sagers while they're working on the curriculum? Is it an average of everyone who has taken the LSAT? Is it the average of students who are studying for the LSAT?

Thank you in advance.

I know you can cancel your LSAT score after 6 days of taking the exam, I think? Then it'll show as canceled on your record. However, if you do a registration refund way before taking the exam, will your record show canceled or withdrawn/refunded? Also, how bad is it to see a withdrawn/refunded on your record?

Hey! I purchased the LSAT 1-year membership last summer. I have done almost all of the lessons and maybe 2 practice tests through the entirety of this year. Life has been rough AF. I am from SWLA Louisiana and we were hit very hard with 2 hurricanes (leaving campus destroyed) and COVID19. Nonetheless, I still plan to take the last LSAT-Flex in June. After much time away from 7sage, I made a 148 cold; BR is a 156. I plan to review over everything today. It looks like I missed the most in reading comprehension. This is in addition due to running out of time, so I could not finish the sections. Of course, this score is not horrible considering I went in not doing it for a long time, however, it is certainly not where I want to be. It seems like I just need to get into the groove of taking PTs. Hopefully I should see a boost if PTs are done consistently??

My study plan is to do 2 PTs a week with a BR section every day in between. Any advice? Your projection of my score if I kept this plan? Do I need to amp it up to 4 or 3PTs a week? I would be okay with an 155, however, I want a 160 to be comfortable. (not sure if thats even possible rn) Just let me know what you all think!

hey everyone, I'm trying to change the credit card I have on billing with 7sage. do I need to cancel and re subscribe or something? will my progress be lost? sorry if this has been done before, but thanks!

I've been listening to the podcasts and have learned that some people will tutor for free to gain a better understanding of the test. I'm just wondering if anyone is tutoring for free currently? :)

I'm scoring in the 160s and would like to be 170+ by August! Any help is really appreciated :)

Is there a way to take 5 section exams on 7sage?

Hi all, would anybody know what the experience of taking the LSAT at home might be like for someone with time-based accommodations? For example, will the proctors already have my proof of eligibility, or will I need to show them my letter? Do I get placed in a separate room? Has anyone run into problems with this? Thank you!

Hi!

I just signed up for the August 2021 LSAT. Since this test will have four sections instead of three with the experimental section being added, for practice test purposes would you suggest that I stick to taking practice tests with just three sections with the Flex option or should I do all four sections of a test?

Thank you

I'm reading a book called Limitless (not to be confused with the movie!) right now alongside my LSAT studies, and it's helped me, a self-defeating-prone type, tremendously reevaluate my potential for success and abilities to grow. One thing that's continued to challenge me is missing the "silliest" things--a stray word here that changes the entire meaning of a stimulus, or choosing a CBT when the Q-stem asked me to pick the MBF, or most recently skipping over a "non-X" in a game and reading it as an "X." When I realize what I've done, I figuratively and literally facepalm.

And then I'd plunge into a very serious downward spiral of "What is wrong with me? I'm just always going to make these oversights, no matter how carefully I try to read." Earlier in my prep when everything was new and scary, it was "How am I ever going to learn, remember, and be able to apply this confusing lesson before me, let alone the entire LSAT Everest of things that remain? I guess I'm just not cut out for it."

My friend, NO.

One of the anecdotes in Limitless is probably a familiar one to many. It's the one about Einstein and his tendencies to make little calculation errors on his path to giving us some of the most formative theories in science today. In spite of all these mistakes, he is the literal image that comes to mind when we think of "genius" in any field. But it resonated with me this morning as I was reading of his struggles as a student and thought about my own on the LSAT.

If anyone needed to read this today, just know that you're not alone. Many of us are in this boat, which may look a little different from one day to the next, but you know what? We're still paddling our way forward when the motor isn't speeding us along. Sometimes the winds of understanding and lawgic are in our sails; but other times it may feel like they're pushing hard against us. You and I, we may not be perfect or anywhere close to it. We will still make mistakes along the way, but it's not because we're never going to get it, nor because we're "bound to" make them. I am not. You are not. We can train ourselves to get better, think more critically, miss those operative words less, and overcome difficultly-worded sentences, paragraph by paragraph, game by game, question by question. You may need to change up your methods or ask for help. No shame there; I'm pretty sure all the 7Sage legends have at some point in their prep. Your practice will translate into progress, and as long as you still want to defeat this beast of a test, you CAN fight today's battle.

And don't forget to relish your "small" victories along the way; as an LSAT student now and a soon-to-be law school student, these milestones are your proof in the pudding and strongly support the claim you must make everyday: I may struggle through it, but I can do this. I am not my mistakes, no matter how many I make or how "silly" they are in retrospect. But they can be much more than just the thing I didn't do right:

"Was Einstein considered a failure because of his mistakes? Hardly. Most importantly he didn’t let his mistakes stop him. He kept experimenting and making contributions to his field. He is famously quoted as having said, 'A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.' What’s more, no one remembers him for his mistakes—we only remember him for his contributions... You might think you have to be perfect, but life is not about comparing yourself to anyone else; it’s about measuring yourself compared to who you were yesterday. When you learn from your mistakes, they have the power to turn you into something better than you were before."*

That is all. Carry on, LSAT Einsteins-in-the-making :)

Any help on this question @Juliet-- would be greatly appreciated! If i were to pull out of taking the June test for example, what is the last date i can do so where it won't show up on my record?

Thanks!

I at first thought a 170 would get me into the school I wanted, but now I'm hearing many more people are getting 180s. I feel like the 2022 cycle is going to be more competitive, so really should I be shooting for a 175?

Hi!

I have a few questions regarding practice tests.

First, after taking a practice exam, should i keep studying and doing problem sets? Or is it better take a break after the exam and continue studying the next day.

Second, how do I get the most out of my practice tests? Meaning, in order to improve significantly on the next exam, what measures should I take? Should I go through all the questions I got wrong and figure out why they were wrong and what answer makes it right? Should I redo the games and think of better strategies to tackle them? In terms of reading comp, do I re read the passages to try and understand them better?

Also, how do I get better with time? I tried to do the regular 35 min time limit but caught myself significantly running out of time so I used the 50% added time. It definitely helped but next time I want to really try and finish successfully within the allocated time I will be given on the actual test.

Any tips and strategies would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

hi, I feel like the website has been really slow to load problem sets, pdfs, and even the discussion board over the past few days. Other websites have been working just fine, so I'm inclined to think that this isn't a wifi issue? Just wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this, but if not, would really appreciate a fix! thank you :)

On the LSAC website I read that only 3/4 of the sections are actually scored (taking the test in August so it will not be flex). Since 7sage marks all 4 sections, is the score given by 7sage inaccurate? I got a 162 on my first practice LSAT with only the free trial under my belt and I am very happy about it, but is my actual score lower?

Hi... I need help downloading the PDF's for the logic games.

It asks for a password but I wanted to confirm is the password the same one when I log into my account?

I have tried that and it does not work.

Looking for some help, thanks!

Hey all,

Do you think between now and the June LSAT it is realistic to improve my score by at least 20 points? My issue is mostly with timing...When I take the test untimed I get roughly -3 on LG but my LR and RC fluctuates. When I take it timed, however, I basically bomb everything bc I run out of time.

Thoughts? Advice?

Thanks in advance, I appreciate it!

When I create problem sets and check my results after completing them, I do not see explanation videos. Why is this/where can I find explanation videos? I've notices this with logical reasoning mostly.

Dear 7Sage Family,

Let me introduce myself. I am as average as average can get. I do not think I am special, and everything I have achieved academically has been 90% hard work and 10% (maybe) talent. Please do not think that I have self-esteem problems; I can assure you I do not. I am in my 30's, grown and confident enough to know where I stand, my strengths and weaknesses. So, I started like most, I guess, overthinking and fearful of how much the LSAT was kicking my ass. Here is my two-year story in a nutshell – that is studying for the LSAT and the LS application process. I started with an in-person class program (Pre-pandemic, remember those beautiful days?) that I thought would help me, "Testmasters," well, it did not. It was a HUGE waste of time and money, at least it was for me. I did that program for 3 months and then 3 other months of self-studying. Then, I signed up to 7Sage Ultimate+, and it was great from the get-go. My score improved shortly after, and it continued to do so as I studied and practice, practice, practice with PTs and problem sets (I love that feature from 7Sage, I highly recommended).

My first PT was 140. Yeah, not great. I continued studying, and in 2 months, my score went up 10 points. Then, I got stuck in the mid 150s. I was ready to give up until I started to focus on my test-taking strategy and my timing for each section. Long story short, I took the November LSAT Flex last year, and I was able to get a 160. Not super high, like some others' scores here, and I did not get accepted into Harvard, Yale, Stanford, or UC Berkley, but I did get accepted into my Target school and was given one of their best scholarships. I’m honored to be starting there this Fall. Needless to say, I am delighted with my results. So, not all stories have to be 170+ scores and acceptances into the LSs I just mentioned. I guarantee you that for everyone here that get a 170+ and acceptances to those schools ((((), dozens like me get good solid scores and still get into their target LSs. Do not feel pressured by other's success stories of 170+ scores and T14 acceptances that your read here; instead, focus on your work and goals. Btw, I have nothing against those who get a 170+ score or are accepted to those schools. Good for them, congratulations, and I wish them the absolute best.(/p)

Lastly, here is my experience during the LS application process. I applied to 11 schools, I was accepted in 7, waitlisted in 3, and denied in 1. I was lucky to have plenty to choose from, and all the financial aid packages offered to me were very generous.

I hope any of this info helps you and feel free to ask any questions, I’d be happy to answer them, if I can (of course).

I have plenty of study materials and LS analytics, so if you’d like some of it please let me know and I’d be happy to send it your way. Just contact me via private message.

Finally, if you feel like you are struggling to improve your score or through the whole LS journey, please let me tell you (and I know many reading this will agree) you are not alone. I was in the same boat, and many people that have passed through 7Sage have been in your shoes. Just keep on going one step at a time. Perseverance is key. Anyway, good luck 7Sagers, and I wish you the absolute best in this arduous but meaningful journey.

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but I don't know how to go about finding a good tutor online. The thing is, I'm currently in Asia right now so I have to take the time difference into account. Anyway, if you have any recommendations, please let me know! Thank you.

Hey Guys. I went through Ellen Cassidy's the Loophole first. When I was going through 7sage's course, I skipped the LR section as it was already covered in the Loophole. I am wondering whether that was a good idea. Is the 7Sage LR section skippable if you have already gone through the Loophole? Should I go over the 7Sage LR section as well?

Hi!

I'm curious as to where you all plan to take the LSAT flex. I live with other people and want to find a place that's quiet with stable wifi but I'm unsure where to start...
