Hi all, 7Sage helped with my LSAT prep so much! It was the reason I got a decent score. They are now offering affordable bar prep, which is so exciting. I am planning to take the July Georgia bar. I really want to do the MBE course from 7sage. But I am unsure what other prep course (if any) I should take. I am thinking taking the 7sage MBE prep course and then studying for my own for the GA state specific essays - but its feeling a bit risky compared to just taking a traditional bar prep course like themis or barbri. Anyone else on the same boat?

For anybody who has taken/signed up for the LSAT flex - is there a typical time range that you sign up to take the exam? For example, do most people begin their actual test at 8:30 am est? I have signed up for the April 2021 LSAT Flex and a lot of advice I have seen from others on here for simulating a real practice test environment is to follow the same schedule/timing you will on the day of the actual exam, but I am unsure what time frames those possibly are with the LSAT Flex. Any advice or insights from anybody who has taken the flex? Thank you!

Let me be clear, my study schedule was not at all rigorous. I was busy getting my ass handed to me by my finance and accounting classes but what helped me the most on every section of this God forsaken exam was that I ANTICIPATED EVERY SINGLE ANSWER CHOICE. Whether it be a sequencing game or a weakening question, in my head I thought of what the answer would be before going to the answer choices.

I used to let the answer choices feed me but trust me that's what the LSAT wants you to do. Don't do it, come up with your own answer even if it is not even close to the right answer. Coming up with your own answers shows that you actually understand the question.

Good luck to everyone beginning or continuing their LSAT journey.

Contemplating taking on studying as a full time gig, or at minimum reducing my hours at work, but I want to see how many users out there feel they are able to fulfill study goals while working FT!

Hi all,

Just seeking thoughts regarding a score drop --

I had a pretty steady improvement in my scores (started at 164, climbed to 180) and had my best week ~2 weeks ago when I scored 175, 177, & 180... Since then I've scored 171, 171, 172, & 171 and am panicking a little. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

website keeps crashing... anyone else experiencing this?

When I take a lot of time and take a lot of breaks, I'll score easily at 90%+. But once I have to focus in and spend the full three hours on the test, it's like my brain just can't handle focusing for that long and everything starts to glaze over. I'll even see this pattern in the test results... I'll start the test by getting mostly correct answers, then the further into the test I get, I start missing everything because my mind has completely lost focus. I make careless mistakes and have a hard time understanding the passages because my brain is just... tired.

For context, I also have PTSD and an associated dissociative disorder. Losing focus happens for me all the time. Almost like ADHD, but not quite.

Any tips on how to increase my attention span? I feel like this is the main thing holding me back from the score I want!

This man showed up to court as a cat and was still better than Bruce Castor.

In fairness to Castor, he had like a week to prepare. But still...

Hi all,

Trying to game out the financials of retaking the LSAT in the summer. I've gamed out that it'll cost about $150 for continued prep materials and an additional $200 for registering. However, that's only an expense I can justify if I'm confident I can score at least 2 points higher than my Jan LSAT score.

My big question is about LSAT refunds. LSAC says the refund for withdrawing from the LSAT by the deadline is a partial deadline but it doesn't say how much. Does anyone know?

I understand the other option is to reschedule the test but that only works if I think another month of prep will get me where I need to be.

Thanks in advance!

I'll be taking the April Flex and I'm currently scoring on average a 166/167 with a high of 174 and a low of 161. Any advice on stabilizing this fluctuation and closing the BR gap?

PT84: 164/173

PT76: 167/178

PTC2: 163/171

PT75: 161/171

PT73: 173/175

PT72: 166/172

Breakdown for LR: I was going -3 in the mid-late PT60s, but once I got to the PT70s, it dropped to -5 (PT84 was also a -5). Under timed, I allow myself to miss two or three questions and force myself not to sink time on those questions that I'll most likely miss anyway. Asides from solidifying my fundamentals, are there ways to improve my procedural strategies? Currently I make three columns: left column is for the questions that I'm 80% confident of and most likely won't come back for round 2, middle column is for the questions that I'm 60% or 70% confident but with a bit more time I can increase it to 70% or 80% so these are the questions I prioritize on round 2, and right column is for the curvebreakers. On average, I have 5 min for round 2 but I feel that I'm not making the most out of it. I'm working on boosting my confidence as I go through the first 15 questions but I still make mistakes that have nothing to do with my understanding of the material but just a case of anxiety, though it's more likely the case that I'll miss a question or two in April due to nerves.

Breakdown for LG: I always go -0 on BR but rarely under timed. I'm least comfortable with hybrid grouping games that are open-ended which means I take longer on setup and even longer in the questions when I didn't make an inference but at that point I'm on autopilot brute force mode. Rule substitution questions can be rough too. Currently plateauing at -2/-3 and sometimes worse for those oddball games. I feel most confident in LG though wishing there's a way to get to -0 because gaining those 2 to 3 points back can be a gamechanger.

Breakdown for RC: my scores fluctuate the most (-4 to -11) and I always feel rushed and on high alert. Currently at -6/-7 timed and -3 BR on average which seems to me that I could benefit from more efficient timing strategies.

I used to write down structural low res when I first started PTing but it was taking too long though it did reinforce good habits. Now I pause and connect anything of significance to previous sentences/paragraphs/ideas/etc and try not to get too bogged down with the detail but just know where those detail are located in case a detail-specific question comes along. I'm least comfortable with comparative passages and I often take at least 4 min to read both. Doing piecemeal analysis helps, and taking a second to digest densely worded question stems helps put me in attack mode rather than letting the ACs sway me.

My goal is to hit the high 160s/low 170s consistently and confidently going into April but it feels that I'm getting nowhere with a large BR gap (and I've taken 20+ PTs and retook 10+).

Any advice is appreciated!

I've gone through the LSAC requirements and candidate agreement thoroughly. I've taken an online proctored test in a different educational area before and they strictly prohibited mouthing while reading or reading out loud during the test. I tend to do this as I'm reading. Are there any restrictions on this during the test that would cause a problem or for my test to be flagged if I do this during the flex?

Hi All,

I have some questions concerning FLEX requirements. I am planning to use my main desktop computer with attached webcam, and I was wondering if I can keep the tower (PC itself) on my desk or do I need to move it under the desk? Additionally, I would like to use my monitor riser, would it be permitted?

Thank you!

So after you have finished one of the sections, or the 35 mins is up, does it immediately jump to the next section? Do you have to click the next section to start it like in our practice tests? Does the time immediately begin for the next section when the 35 mins is up or is there like a 1 minute window to start the next section?

Is there one place on 7Sage where you can find all the recordings of anonymous people working questions from above the pencil and paper, with JY’s commentary? #help Or are there just two?

I am wondering if LSAC pushes the harder versions of the test to later dates. For instance, if there are three testing dates available for February's FLEX, would the harder version be seen during one of the later testing dates?

It has been such a great journey!

I can't believe I made such a huge jump!

Thank you to everyone!

I took a major dip from my last 5 PTs and overall PT average when I wrote in January (166). I've decided to retake. I feel like my fundamentals are solid (usually BR 178 or higher), but my strategy could definitely use some tweaking.

I'm a perfectionist. I've heard repeatedly that the best way to tackle LR and RC is by skipping questions and coming back to them. For whatever reason, I just can't seem to trust this strategy under timed conditions. I usually finish both sections with a minute or two left on PTs, but on test day I seem to second guess myself far more and my focus tends to break more easily (which is another issue altogether).

How do you know when to skip a question in LR and RC? How do you train yourself to feel confident in doing so?

I'm taking the LSAT this month (Feb 2021) and was wondering if I should do anything before the test to prepare for the essay (I haven't done any essay prep yet). Advice would be very much appreciated!

How to change the timer on the prep test for my accommodations

Looking for an affordable LR tutor on East Coast, maybe another person who's studying but excels in this section

I didn't use 7sage prior but have heard great things so I finally decided to take the plunge. I have great foundation but I really need to hone in my skills and timing stratagies. What's the best way to use this resource?

Hello good people... I'm going to try something different this time. I've set up a coupon code on my booking portal that I'll keep open for a limited time today, and cut it off when I reach capacity. It'll be one time use and allow you to book a "standard session" free of charge. It'll be 1 hour... I usually go longer for tutoring sessions but for these we'll try to keep it at an hour to fit more people in.

Hopefully this will allow better access than my usual last minute offerings...

...which I'm also doing again as well. If you are free between now and 8 pm EST and would like to talk LSAT or throw some questions around, let's hit it! If this is up, I'm still open.

Code is: removed

Edit: Done for now so I can control volume. Will likely open back up later. Appointment for today is still open!

Share your thoughts!

Anybody know if this site has prep tests, and corresponding solutions to the tests? I am not sure how to navigate the PrepTests under "Resources". it does not really seem to have the questions, but rather a way to estimate the grade when we enter our answers. Does 7sage have lsat questions anywhere?

hi all!

I'm getting back on the grind after my January 2021 attempt (I'm aiming to book for early summer maybe june/july). Anyways, my last PT was a 160 before I sat for the January exam and I was heavily using the recent PTs closer to my test date for obvious reasons.

I was wondering how everyone utilizes the different LSAT eras in their studying (ie 1-20, 30s/40s, 50s/60s, 70s/80s)? I have heard of many people using PTs 1-20 solely for drilling, but was thinking of starting there and doing (roughly) one PT a day. I thought this would be a good place to start to get consistent with RC & games, and then got thinking that it wouldn't hurt to dip my toes into LR as well.

I'd love to hear how others are utilizing the different PT eras for studying + what you found worked best for you - just trying to take a different approach this time around in the hopes of seeing some major improvement before the summer.

thanks & happy studying! 🤍
