Hi everyone,

I've been seeing some discussion posts of people who have been getting burnt out from studying. I am writing this after taking a week long break from studying for the LSAT. I take the LSAT on the 15th of this month and I usually study 6 days and two hours everyday. Ive been doing this pretty much all year and some of last year too. I have finally gotten pretty much to where I want to be. I took the LSAT last august and got a 156 and now I'm scoring in the 170's. Knowing that I've been making good progress, I decided to take a break. Usually, it's quite fun to take the test and know I'm doing well and improving but it was getting to the point where I was about to start dreading studying. Once I was about to hit that point, I knew it was time for a break and let me tell you ... it was much needed. I feel much better about going into the test and I am ready to get my study on for the next two weeks!

For those test takers who are also taking the test this months, let's take a breath and applaud ourselves for all of the hard work we've done in order to get where we are! I wish everyone happy testing and high scores!!

Need a tutor for help with Logical Reasoning. Looking to do a 3-4 sessions a week. Plan on taking the November exam. Please contact me.

For anyone who has taken the lsat flex's recently, what pt do yall think they are more similar to? Ex: 60s,70s,80s? in LR, which question types are more popular?

I would totally be willing to buy any merch from 7sage. Especially if its like a t-shirt that says who cares? or something :D

Problem sets and prep tests aren't loading. When I click on one, it shows nothing but the margins and the headings.

Hello All! I hope all is well.

My 7sage subscription says that it expires tomorrow (August 6th). Will I still be able to access it all day tomorrow or is today (the 5th) my last day?

Thank you! Best of luck.

Hello all,

Going to spill a lot of feelings here so please refrain from any judgmental comments. I last took my LSAT in Feb and got a 145, I took about two months off after that, and started studying 3-4 nights a week, 1-2 hours at a time until mid June, it is the end of July now and I just took about 1 week off because I was honestly getting burnt tf out. I decided to study by section, so I’m just finishing up my Logical Reasoning but my most recent and best so far is -10 which is still bad. I have yet to fully study games and RC since I plan to take my exam again in October and want it to be my last. I need a 150 to get into my school so it can’t be too hard right?

Well it’s tough, I am drained by the time I come home at 5 PM, I go train in the gym for an hour or two, still have to cook, study, and I want to be in bed by 10 every night. I’m using 7Sage alone and have tried bibles, LSAT trainer and not really fond of them. I’ve been on here before seeing how I can improve my comprehension and understanding but I’m still getting -10 on LR by itself, and it is super, super discouraging. I’ve also contemplated on if this career is right for me, as I am scared to get into something that will put me into a lot of debt, possibly a lot of stress, and something that I could regret. I have a reason to get into law, as I have a personal connection with knowing how hard it can be for those who cannot advocate for themselves, and that is where I want to help, plus the idea of law just really fascinates me. So I’m curious, what do you all do when you’re in this state of mind of “Can I do this?” “Is this career going to be the one for me?” I am 22 years old and done with my undergrad already so I’m just trying to get on with the next step of my life. I know it is truly possible to get an increase in score but I’m not sure if it’s something to do with me since I have tried multiple study programs and still not making that much improvement, like I’m un-teachable or something. To end this rant, I was wondering if any of you had any true, raw advice for someone like me who is questioning everything and feeing doubtful about improving my score. I’m prepared to hear some honest truth here.

Thanks!

Hello :)

I have put aside one month of studying just to focus on taking practice exams. My question to some of you that have taken a large amount of test exams:

I have read through several discussion threads and am seeing a lot of the same thing. If you go too hard the week leading up to your test, you'll likely be burnt out and under perform. I had a big plateau in early July, but have since improved and am scoring above my target score. I worry, slightly, that because I am just now getting PT's above my target, that I need to press on and take at least 4 more PT's. Is this too much? Would I be better off just resting and taking a few drills of problematic questions types? Any advice appreciated!

I am taking the LSAT for the first time in August. Do I have to complete my writing sample before the exam or do I have a few days after to complete it? I saw in June you were able to complete the writing after you complete the LSAT but just want to make sure I don't miss my window! I'd rather not waste time on that until after I've finished the LSAT.

I'm noticing that the 70-75 mark, games are more easy in terms of logic games with barely any misc games, difficulty spikes in reading comprehension with passages being 8 questions sometimes and much longer passages, and practical complete shifts in LR to strength/weaken/flaw questions with the other types sprinkled in.

Am I being too analytical or is this shift more permanent so I should change my remaining study schedule?

Thanks!

I am taking the August LSAT, which is my first, and am hoping to get my score ASAP so I know both if I need to take it again in October and if I should cancel my score. I know there is a warning that you cannot get your grade until after your written section has been accepted. A few questions regarding the process:

1) How long does it usually take for a written section to be confirmed?

2) If I took the written section a few days after the test would my score be delayed?

3) If my score is delayed, will I still be able to cancel that score using my one time option as a new test taker?

At the moment I am laser focused on trying to get the best possible score and I don't want to lose that by shifting focus to the written section. I am hoping to get some opinions on whether that is the right strategy or if I should bite the bullet and do the written section before the rest of the test.

So I've been studying since Jan and took the June Lsat, got a 169. Honestly, I'm happy applying with my score (I just want a T20 and have a 4.0 gpa) but am taking the August one just to see if I can walk away with a better score cause the competitiveness of the last cycle is freaking me out lol. I have been pting in the low 170s with some higher outlier scores. My BR scores usually correspond closely, but slightly higher, with my pt scores (so timing isn't the issue, Ig I'm just stupid lol) I'm good with the fundamentals, there isn't an area where I'm specifically weak at, I just always miss a few of the hard ones (usually LG -0 and LR and RC are around -3 give and take) I only have 3 clean prep tests left. Sometimes I feel with the new tests the difference between a correct and incorrect LR question is so nuanced, or an RC passage just comes down to how well it clicks with me.. but then I see people consistently PTing in the mid 170s and ALWAYS BRing at 180.. So, how should I study from here? Anyone else in the same boat?

Soooo. Im sitting, grinding for my exam, fullproofing games, and the interface is acting all funky. I see a bunch of boxes where I should be able to click things like changing time and submitting.... anybody else experiencing this? I have tried logging in and out, shutting my computer down, different wifi, etc........

Hello, I'm inputting my PT86 answers from Law Hub where all sections are LG-LR-LR-RC. In order to ensure I did the right LR section for analytics here I did the LG, 1st LR and RC. It appears the "flex" option here has the LR sections backwards so the LR I completed is the one being removed when I select flex. I'd really appreciate an option to just select which LR is being graded when inputting a PT.

This is not the first time I experience this issue, and again, my analytics keep getting thrown off by having to do the "correct" LR section at another time. Please if anyone could provide some help with this issue I would be grateful. I'm mostly here for analytics. Having 2PT's so far not being able to accurately reflect my performance is becoming frustrating.

I've been taking PTs as I prepare for the August test (as I'm sure most of you out there have been doing). I've opted to take all four sections during my practice in order to get a feel for the full test. As I was lurking on the discussion boards, I saw someone say that taking the "Simulate Flex" option will give you a more accurate score since there is no experimental section.

Does that mean all the PTs I've taken with the full four sections is scoring the experimental section? Or is the experimental section already incorporated into the score that 7Sage gives me?

Is there a way to calculate my "real" score? Do I simply take away one LR section score and recalculate my raw score is using the 7Sage raw score chart (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-score-percentile-conversion/)?

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.

Hi everyone, any tips for what to focus on for two months of studying?

Hey guys, I'm a 2022 test taker just really cautious about the fact that there are a limited # of PTs + its mentally draining to go through just one PT.

I took a diagnostic about a week ago and scored a 155. However I took it in Khan Academy, and 7Sage is requiring me to take another PT (the June 2007 one) as indicated on its syllabus.

After my K.A diagnostic I've only studied new concepts in LR and just merely went over my answers in RC and LG. Should I take the suggested PT right now? If not, when should I take it?

I got a 155 on my diagnostic in Khan Academy and was going to start out with a PT at 7sage so I could study according to the analytics. The resources I have right now are Khan Academy and 7sage (Ultimate subscription + LSAC Prep Plus).

However I read a few past posts and everyone was saying to go through the curriculum first then start with the PTs, because the PTs are precious. I agree with them and also think it'd be a good idea to go through the comprehensive curriculum because basing off my studies on the errors I had in 1 PT sounds a bit myopic.

Would it be a good plan to go through the entire curriculum, make/do problem sets of parts I found difficult, foolproof certain parts then start with the PTs? For other tests I usually learn the most by full PTing but I understand that resources for the LSAT are limited.

Just curious how everyone else reached their dream scores using 7sage. Thank you.

I know there are a few posts regarding the same topic but I don't think there has been one after the June 2022 elongation announcement, so here it goes.

I just found the "simulate FLEX" function for PTs. I am thinking of applying to law school in 2023 hence I'm curious as to whether the 3-section FLEX format will continue onwards from June 2022, because I am unsure in what format I should be doing my PTs.

Does anyone know? Any help/advice/comments would be very appreciated.

Hi Friends !

I'm taking the LSAT for the second time in a couple weeks. The first time around I scored a 162.

This time, my scoring has hit a consistent 167 in most of the PrepTests i've taken (mostly 70s or 60s). Recently I've been feeling a bit bored or unmotivated, maybe just fatigue. Today I scored a PrepTest...160... I'm sad to see such a drop off. In my review, I feel like I missed questions and don't even know why I chose the AC I did ! Where's my head !

Any tips? Should I just take a few days off or is this a sign of something worse ?? Do I consider not writing? :S I feel nervous about taking time off so close to my sitting.

I write in 2 weeks, hoping to not score anything lower than a 165/166.

Let me know what you think !! All thoughts are welcome, thank you (3(/p)

Is reading the stimulus and then reading the question stem a better tactic or the other way around??

I have been listening to the podcasts and some of them suggest recording the PTs and re-watching them later. How do people do this (if they do). Like logistically, how do you record yourself taking a practice PT in the most effective manner?
