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
Is there a way to delete problem sets in the existing problem set tab?

How do you suggest I go about my studying. My old diagnostic without any prior LSAT prep was 138. My goal is 160
Is there a way for me to create my own study schedule, it is letting me put in my own dates but I want to be able to rearrange the weeks.
I have score 162 and 167 on my first two LSATs. I am aiming for a 170 but have never scored over a 166 on PTs. Would it hurt me (for admissions purposes) to take the April LSAT I am signed up for if I am just as likely to score lower as I am to score higher? I assume law schools would see a downward trend as a red flag.
The alternative would be to study another few months and focus on my weakness (LG) then take again in June/August.
However, if a lower score won't hurt me I wouldn't be opposed to taking both the April and a June/August test.
I am really struggling with weakening questions anyone have any tips or can lend any help to help me over come this?
Hi everyone!
I have a question about the format of the LSAT Flex. Does the test look like the "7Sage" theme, the "Standard" theme, or something else? The themes that I am referring to are the ones 7Sage allows us to choose from when we are drilling questions under problem sets. I want to ensure that I am studying in the format I will see on test day.
Thanks!

Is there any way to alter the way that the printable problem sets display? At present, there are two questions per page. I would prefer more per page to reduce the amount of paper, though I am already printing double-sided.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
So on LSAC, they show the score after each section I take on a practice LSAT. It can be quite distracting, and I was wondering if there is a setting I can change on LSAC that would hide the score I get after each section? If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it!
Looking for 1-2 BR partners for the April exam who are scoring in the 170's- preferably who's strongest section is RC. Aiming for maybe 3 to 4 more PT's by then (all in the 80's). BR will consist of a deep dive into each RC passage and any flagged/problematic questions in LR. Im on EST time and am very flexible with time.
Hello! I'm sure this has been discussed 1000 times but I'm a new-er LSAT studier here, looking for any advice on studying while working full-time from home. I know people recommend studying before the workday starts, but I cannot get myself to wake up before 8 am. It's also so difficult to have a real break in your day when you never leave the house. I'll definitely be sacrificing my weekends to the cause. Looking mostly for inspiration/tips/motivation/commiseration. Is anyone else currently building a schedule for studying and working, and has found success?
Hi, my official LSAT testing score is 169, and my practice PTs are above 170s. But I want to improve and break the curve in the actual test. I heard tutoring someone is the best way to learn. So I am offering free tutoring sessions to someone in need. My strongest suit is game. I usually score perfectly with 3-5 mins spare. The second-best section of me is LR, which I am at +- 0-3. My worst part is reading, minus 2 to 5. I think I mastered the idea of structural reading, but my execution has room to improve. If anyone is interested, feel free to message me. Please include your current AVG PT score, goal, struggled sections, and planned testing time, if applicable. Thank you.

Hi Everyone,
Hope everybody had a great weekend. I just wanted to post something I have found helpful when reviewing practice tests. While many of these questions seem obvious and naturally intuitive, sometimes it helps to spell them out and ask yourself these questions when reviewing questions you got wrong. The article was published by Blueprint. The questions are:
"Once you've figured out a question, talk yourself through the logical process one more time to reinforce the right way to do things".
Are there any questions, or strategies any of you are using to help improve your score? If so, please comment and share with me. Hope this helps somebody!
Hi everyone! I completed the LSAT Trainer and my highest PT was a 163. I decided to start using 7Sage after hearing good reviews on the program. Since I have prior exposure to the LSAT through the trainer, I am asking for advice on how I should structure my study schedule before the June exam using 7Sage? I'm guessing since I've already done the trainer, I won't need the full range of the program, but I'm not sure exactly where to start.
Which is better for the flex score estimate? Powerscore estimates seem a few points higher than 7sage's version

so i was converting my answers from a preptest on LawHub on here to use the analytics and noticed question 27 for the reading comp passage is missing from PT 86 on here. on lawhub it goes to 27, on here it goes to 26. does anyone know why?
I work full time as a paralegal. I am testing the weekend of June 12 and plan to take Thursday and Friday off to study. I am contemplating taking the full week off to just be on the safe side and focus one whole week on just studying. I do average 10-15 hours a week of studying now but after work my brain is fried and think I would benefit from a full week prior to studying. Is it recommended to study hard core the week of your test or should I do this the week before?
Thanks!
