I started taking sections on the LSAC’s Lawhub site to try to gain some familiarity with its user interface and one thing that struck me was how difficult it was to use the highlighter tool. I would try highlighting one word and next thing you know half the paragraph was highlighted. Super annoying. This issue occurred during RC sections, which I change the line spacing to its minimum bc is feels easier for me to read. This might very well be the reason for this issue but I’d rather not increase the line spacing.
For those who’ve sat for the digital LSAT/Flex, how similar is Lawhub to the actual test? Did you find difficulty using the highlighter tool like I did on Lawhub?
Is anyone else missing the push pin button?
Do you think that this is the most competitive cycle because of COVID?
Will the competition eventually die down the next two cycles?
I made my tuition deposit at SMU ... thinking about either just going ahead or retaking the lsat again ...& apply next year or the year after
I scored a 151 ... didn’t get much scholly... not a good test taker
I am taking the April 2021 LSAT on Saturday, April 10th... when should be the last day I take a practice test? I want to make sure I am not burnt out, but also do not want to take too many days off. Traditionally I have taken 2 PTs a week on Mondays and Thursdays. I took one today (PT 89) and left M20 to do next week. I was originally planning on doing it Monday, but should I push it back to Tuesday or Wednesday so that there are not too many days between my last PT and the my real test? Any advice/thoughts/other week of LSAT advice is much appreciated, as this is my first LSAT and want to make sure I am prepared while also not exhausting myself before the real thing!
The LSAC has announced that effective with the April administration of the LSAT-Flex, test takers will be required to schedule their testing day and time by 11:59 p.m. ET of the Thursday prior to the exam. For example, for the April LSAT-Flex, which begins on Saturday, April 10, scheduling will close at 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 8.
After that deadline passes, test takers could opt to request a date change for a future administration, but will not be able to schedule for the current exam.
Here is the link to check to see if you have all the right components to the system you are using in order to have the system check on test day go smoothly. If everything checks out then I would not worry about it. If something is wrong there is a FAQ section that has many little tips and tricks to use to try and get all systems go, but if that does not work there is a link to connect to a representative of ProctorU to help figure out what is going on with your computer. On test day you will have to have the browser extension and microphone on and camera, and have some security features off, to allow ProctorU to proctor you. I am not sure if you need to have an account, but I signed out of my account and I am still able to test my equipment. i would also recommend using chrome as your browser (recommended by ProctorU) I have also heard problems with people using firefox and or safari, I am not sure if those problems still persist but I have heard of them.
Hi all,
Is there a 7sage/other platform option to create a problem set with all of the questions you've gotten wrong? I want to foolproof for the Logic Games and review the questions I've gotten wrong for LR, but I'm having a hard time figuring out a way to do this easily. I wanted to know if I'm missing something. Thanks all!
Hi. I am taking the August LSAT for the first time. I am studying strictly with 7sage. Having no background in the LSAT I am working my way down in the 7sage curriculum from LR to RC. The study schedule made for my by 7sage says I should be dedicating 50 hours a week to core based on my test date but that is not feasible for me. I am still taking three college classes and working full time. I started studying 3 weeks ago and I am only 14% done with the core. I do not want to spend all my time on my core and not being able to take any practice tests. But I need to to learn the material. I got a 138 on my cold diagnostic without any prior LSAT studying and my goal is 160 by August. I try to spend 2-3 hours on core everyday. I feel like the curriculum is very in depth and I am not touching all 3 sections LR LG RC. I wont get to LG and RC until the very end of the curriculum and it is recommended to go through it in order. Not sure what to do and how to fix my studying style. Any suggestions
Sign Up for April 2021 Time slots Begin: Thursday April 1st @noon EST & 'New' AC Elimination Feature
As the title says the sign up begins at Noon Thursday April 1st. Plus they are adding a new feature where you can 'cross' off the Answer choices you don't want to see. It looks like it is the exact same as when you click the "x" on the ACs on 7Sage but instead of it being a "x" it is a "eye ball" looking thing.
Hi, I took a long break for a year after the LSAT-flex was announced. I'm planning to restart studying again and was wondering if the LSAT-flex has more advantages to take than the in-person LSAT? I know the in-person LSAT probably won't happen until at least October... any advice is much appreciated. I do have a surface pro tablet PC that I use, so the tech part won't be a problem. Thank you!
Can anyone tells me how they keep their motivation going for the LSAT and how they study for the test.
PT M20. Note: this test drew from the June and October '19 tests. Similar released PTs will be in the 87-89 range.
All scoring levels welcome.
Requirements:
We can also explore individual issues, general LSAT strategies, and become needlessly dramatic about the new T14 rankings.
Link to the meeting will be in this post. Venue TBD as I don't have one of those fancy school Zoom accounts. As of right now, default will probably be a google meeting so we won't have a time limit. If anyone has a school Zoom and is willing to host let me know!

Check back here for updates!
I've had someone mention this to me in passing and it was just mentioned in another 7Sage discussion forum:
"PT M20. Note: this test drew from the June and October '19 tests. Similar released PTs will be in the 87-89 range."
I think I've also heard this on an LSAT podcast episode. Can someone direct me to a resource where I can learn more about this? And as a follow-up, do we know what the case will be for April and June tests? Any help or guidance would be really really appreciated, thanks 🙏
Hi!! I have just begun hitting the PT's the last 2-3 weeks and have been scoring 159-163. I am aiming for a 160+ on test day (in June) but would like to consistently PT in mid 160s just for wiggle room. Is this too much to ask/an unrealistic expectation? I know I have improvement possible on logic games for sure- I'm trying to perfect them which will greatly raise my score. RC is my strongest subject, usually -3 or -4. LR kind of jumps around (-8 to as low as -3), but I feel like with the exposure to PT's I have gotten more comfortable with LR. Plus drilling some commonly missed problem types on the side. Anyways, all in all just wanted to see if PT around 164-165 (even consistently at 163) is an unrealistic goal. My highest has been a 163, but my most common score has been a 160. I'm just cruising from now until June test day about 4 PT's a week with the other days being LG drilling for the most part. I am a full time student finishing up my junior year of undergrad but this hasn't gotten in the way of my study plans due to everything being online. Lol... longer post than anticipated but just want to see everyone's thoughts. Thanks in advance!! Good luck to all my fellow peeps looking to write in June :)
Hi,
Here is some basic info of me: I took two lsat's two years ago and cancelled them. It was so stupid to do that but I was like a nuts and know nothing about lsat. I took another two lsat last year, one for 150, one for 157. I started studying since October last year. My current pt score (using LSAC Lawhub) is around 170, sometimes higher sometimes lower.
I registered lsat in June. Recently, I talked with some people in this boat, read some related articles. All said that I shouldn't take more than five times. So this would be my last chance to get a fine score.
So I wonder if anyone had experiences taking more than five times? Does that affect admission a lot?
If not taking June, My options are August or October. I feel that October is a little bit late. And June is the last flex test, meaning less materials, less pressure?
Just want to talk with someone who had this issue.
Thanks!
I'm looking to take the LSAT-flex in June, but have in the back of my mind that I may need to retake in October. My last few PTs, I have NOT been simulating flex and taking all 4 sections, but not doing a 5th simulated experimental section. My logic is that if I practice longer mental endurance than I need, the flex will be a little bit easier. That being said, with one less LR section on the real exam, I'm wondering if my flex score would be higher or lower than how I'm doing on the full 4 sections.
How are other people going about their PTs these days?
If you are taking a problem set or PT on your computer through 7Sage, is there a way to flag a question that you want to blind review later on? I don't have a printer at home, and I think it's better for me to have scrap paper and do the problem sets/PTs on my computer screen to better simulate real test conditions anyways.

Looking for someone to meet with twice a week to review LR and a bit of RC (85%/15%). Please let me know if anyone can help me with this.
Thank you.
Hey everyone - I started studying for the LSAT in January and have been putting in 10-20 hours a week. I first began with Mike Kim's LSAT trainer and finished that curriculum by Mid February. I've taken 2 PT's since starting to study, and only saw two points of improvement after about 8 weeks of studying. I then decided to switch to 7 sage in late Feb. I started the curriculum from the beginning and have only been focusing on LR. I just took my first timed section after getting through the majority of the 7sage LR curriculum, and still have THE SAME SCORE as my last full LR section I took in Feb. My Blind review score was a lot better than the timed take of the section, but I'm not sure why the gains I'm making on BR aren't reflecting in my test taking.
I'm getting really discouraged that I can't improve, and that maybe I should give up on this path altogether. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this too early to be getting disappointed? This marks about 12 weeks of studying, and my original hope is to take the test in August.
I would like to take a few PTs without a time constraint just yet, however I don't see this as an option in the timing settings. What is the solution to this?
Hello ,
I wanted to get some feedback about possible ways to increase in LG/LR or overall LSAT score. I took the LSAT on July 2020 and scored a 137 while working two jobs- With this score, I did not use any of my scratch sheet and did not know how to even properly diagram the games. Sadly. I was lost the entire time. I recently graduated undergrad December 2020. Currently enrolled in a Masters program. My target score is 150+ and I have a 3.79 LSAC CAS GPA. I am focusing much more on improving in games. I am eager to get the LSAT out the way this second time with my LSAC waiver.
My top schools are: Emory, Georgia State and Univ. of Miami.
What's the best way to see gains? Best practices that helped you improve your scores. I would love to go from a 137 in a 150 range.
Any advice is appreciated sincerely. Thank you.
Hi, does anyone know how accurate the score conversion from the PTs (when simulating flex) on this site are to the actual flex exam? I only ask because each time I take a practice test and simulate the flex, I score in my preferred range or score somewhat higher. But when I took the exam in October and in January, my actual test scores were 10-13+ LOWER than my usual score on ANY PT.
I don't feel like I do anything different during the real exam vs. a practice test but of course it could just be me choking under the pressure. If that is the case, does anyone have any tips for test day nerves? Preparing again for April 10 and not feeling too confident because I don’t know whether I can even trust my PT progress at this point...
Can anyone recommend a good tutor to break through around 167-169 to the 170+ range? can't seem to break through a plateau on RC, and a couple LR Q types. LG is usually somewhere between -1 to -3.
Hello guys! I am taking the LSAT for the first time in August. I started studying March 18 and according to the 7sage study schedule I should be putting in 40-50 hours a week. However I work full time and I am finding it rather difficult to get through the assigned coursework weekly. I am also going through the course in order and I feel like I am not covering all the sections RC LR AR enough. The first few weeks are mostly LR. Im scared because I feel like I am not going to have enough time to do practice tests at the end. But I cant skip the curriculum either because I have no background in the LSAT. How do you suggest I go about my studying
