I've been studying since around end of November using other resources, but it's not until now that I've really gotten into the nitty gritty and regularly taking PTs. I work full time and do find myself slacking simply because the days are so long and studying can be draining as we all know. I do my best to study at least 2 hours a day with a PT every weekend. I'm definitely behind because I missed a few weeks of studying due to some personal reasons.

My original goal was to take the April exam but as it's creeping up, and the registration deadline is approaching, I'm not sure how confident I feel. My PT's are nowhere near where I want them to be. My initial reasoning behind taking the April exam is so I could give myself time to take the test again if need be, and still apply for schools this fall... If I take my exam in June, do you think I'll still have time for another test if needed, plus applications?

I just registered for 7sage after I heard a lot of great reviews from friends/family who have used it, and would love to follow this study schedule, however it advises me against the April deadline (even though I have done studying prior and could probably skip a few course lessons/use it as review)

Which method is better, to finish through the Core Curriculum, after then return to questions that I missed and redoing them, or to work on getting each question set until I get them correct before moving on?

Hi folks,

I decided to take the plunge and start the LSAT journey (again...long story). I'm now in a home office FT job so I have more steady hours, but my schedule for a planned Aug 2021 LSAT has it at almost 35 hours per week which floored me. With work and family situation, I simply can't add 35h/wk onto it.

My diagnostic was 150 (not great, but whatever) and my goal is 160+ for most Cdn law schools. So, I'm really looking for 10-15 points. Does anyone have any tips on how to lighten the weekly load but still get to the goal?

Thanks!

Hi everyone. After scoring a 168 (4-5 points below my PT average) on the November LSAT, I have been studying for a retake in February. Since the November test I have been averaging over 175 and have scored as high as 180 (this felt great but it also stings that it wasn't on an official test). Does anyone have any advice on how to keep this momentum going and what my study plan should look like? I'm thinking of relaxing things as I don't have much room to improve and just need to lock in performance.

Also, does anyone have tips on performing up to or above your PT average on test day? Although my average is higher now, I would still like to avoid a 5 point drop if possible. From the advice of others on here, I have taken up meditation and am trying to adopt the mindset that my official test is just another practice test. Is there anything else I should try?

Thank you for the advice.

I am moving on from the LSAT. I sat for the November exam and just recently sat for the January exam to increase my score, but it doesn’t matter what I get; I have to move on from this test.

I’ve gotten into three schools so far, but I applied to a fair amount, so there are still decisions to be made. However, by the time the dust settles, my account here will be permanently expired. My only desire is that I pick the school that is the right fit for me: T14 or not.

Throughout this journey, I had to continually remind myself that I’m going to law school to provide a helping hand by attempting to bring us all toward human wholeness and into the light of understanding. Keeping that at my core, It doesn’t matter what school I attend or what law I may or may not practice; meeting the human need is the reasoning behind this pursuit.

So, to those who will read this, I wish you profound success and clarity on your journey. Everything positive that can happen will, just not always how we expect it. Nevertheless, you will get into law school.

Stay kind, stay hopeful, and stay determined.

Thank you, 7Sage — I’ll see you all on the other side.

Best,

Aristotle

So I recently retook my LSAT and so have an opportunity to retake the LSAT writing. I was pretty happy with my argument and answers to the first LSAT writing prompt, but finished my conclusion with only a few seconds remaining and wasn't able to correct several mispellings and one word confusion at the very top of the first paragraph ("sight" instead of "site"). I know that one or even two mispellings are not a big deal, reviewers know the prompt is strictly timed, but several and a word confusion concerned me a little, especially since we are provided with automatic spell check. In your opinion is this something that is worth retaking the LSAT writing for? Why/why not?

What do you guys think?

Wanting to cancel until score release (my sub renews Feb 2) so that I don't get stuck paying for an entire month if things went well, but will I lose all progress/exam bank/all of that if I cancel and resubscribe later?

Thanks

Scoring in the 155’s, highest was a 160. Looking to take for June Flex. Feedback would be appreciated thanks.

Hey,

I wanted to ask about the Ultimate+ subscription I have got. I am considering whether it would be better for me to shift to yearly/monthly or keep paying for the monthly package I have (honestly seems much cheaper). I am trying to figure out the LSAT pre plus, I know its 99 dollars/year but I am not sure if 7sage provided me with it for a year only or if it will be automatically renewed for me? will i have to pay 99 dollars later on? and how do I know the exact expiry date?

Sorry about all the questions, Thanks for the help in advance

Hi all,

I'm hosting a law school/LSAT info session for the interns where I work and I have a question for the group.

Can/should people still use prep books (e.g. the Powerscore Bibles, the LSAT Trainer) as their sole resources to prep? Given that the LSAT is digital and Prep Plus exists, I wonder if prep books are now more useful as supplements to an online course like 7Sage. I, for instance, used the Loophole as a supplement. I know Powerscore has a stand alone PT and analytics tool that's similar to 7Sage's that you could pair with prep books but that doesn't strike me as a good bargain considering that there are some very affordable online courses (7Sage, Magoosh, Manhattan (surprisingly)).

Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I just checked the status of my writing sample on the LSAC portal and it says "Exam Initiated". However, I have already completed my writing test. Should it say something like "Exam Submitted/Completed" (ie something went wrong with submitting my writing sameple) or does the status remain at "Exam Initiated" until it is reviewed and approved? I know this is a very specific quesition, but please let me know if anyone has an answer! Thanks!

Can we take the LSAT without registering for the CAS if the plan is to apply for next year’s cycle? Or will the LSAT score not be saved for the five year period on our file if we don’t sign up for the CAS?

I already have the super prep plus through LSAC. I want to purchase the $69 monthly subscription without the plus. How do I integrate what I purchased through LSAC into the purchase from 7Sage? In other words, do I need two (2) computers, one for the prep and the other for 7Sage? Sorry, I’m an older student.

I was just listening to a school's webinar and the rep from LSAC mentioned that information about upcoming post-April LSATs is forthcoming in the next two weeks.

I logged into my study schedule today and it looked noticeably different than it did yesterday. It jumped from 912 hours of content to 1368 hours. 4 weeks now have no content and the week of February 8 has 493 hours of content (456 is PrepTests 1-35 - Drilling Materials). The dates I'm using is December 17, 2020 - April 9, 2021. Is anyone else having this problem?

So a lot of people seem to get through their questions quickly and then go back to check/confirm/unflag numerous answers later.

my question is: why not make sure you got them right the first time before moving on? (without getting too fixated on any particulsr question)

I imagine if you have time to go back and check more than 3 flagged or skipped answers in total, you're moving too fast, skimming answer choices etc.

for arguments sake, I finish sections on time and go -2 (good day/section) to -4 (bad day/ section)

Admin note: edited title for clarity

Great discussion here! We edited the title for clarity to get this thread more exposure.

I just started studying the beginning of this month and so far I have been going through the core curriculum. I recently saw on a comment thread that there are problem sets as well (I am unsure how I missed this). I was wondering if anyone would share how they study, whether they do problem sets after each section in the core curriculum or any suggestions as to how I may use this course in the most effective manner. I am feeling overwhelmed with all the content and am scared that I am not using it correctly/getting the most out of it. Any help would be appreciated.

I still am working on the base course work, but I find I am running behind a bit on my study schedule. Should I aim to complete the entire course with all the prep tests before I take the LSAT?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good tutors on this site for helping with the Reading Comprehension section specifically, although probably with LR and LG, too. For whatever reason, RC is the section I was struggling with the most and was looking for someone who could help me out. Thanks!

Whether or not my score improved this morning, I'm done with my journey here. Just wanted to say thanks to the community here and to JY - I ended up on 7sage after consistently bombing LG and after 4 months of diligent fool proofing I finished my flex this morning fairly confident in my LG score.

Good luck everyone - hope you all end up at your dream school :)

Just wondering how to best approach blind review for complete PTs and/or LR sections for most improvement.

Thank you!

Does anyone know/think that the June 2021 LSAT will be the Flex?

i just took the 6pm kst

did anyone else find the rc hard :(

lr was medium i think and lg easy but i think i messed up rc and possibly lr
