I noticed a significant score drop in the 80s PTs, does anyone have any advice for adjusting to this era? I was scoring in 170s for 50s but am back to mid 160s in the 80s. Would love some tips. Thank you!

Hey everyone. I know this might be dumb question but how do I get access to a 7sage tutor? I really want to get into touch with someone that can help me and find someone that is doing better than me and can teach me. I would be utterly grateful. Thanks.

In the Curriculum, under the section titled "Resources for Taking Simulated LSATs," there used to be an audio file you could play that would be timed for a 4 or 5 section test, and include a voice over simulating the proctor (who would say you have five minutes remaining etc.). I can't seem to find the file and I'm wondering if it's been removed. Anybody else know where I can find it/gain access to it again? I've been using it when I take my practice tests to try to mimic what the actual experience might be like. Thanks!

LSAT Dates

Hi everyone,

I know the announcement is probably going to be delayed because of COVID uncertainty, but does anyone know when the LSAC normally releases the dates for the summer (May/June and onwards)? If anyone had any insight into when they might do it this year that would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, if they announce June and July as flex dates, would it be possible that they might transition these sessions into in-person LSAT for these dates depending on the COVID process?

I am planning on taking the LSAT this summer and want advice on if I'm approaching studying correctly. I am aiming for mid-170s. I've gone through all 3 Powerscore bibles, and I bought the 7Sage monthly package at the very beginning of this calendar year. My diagnostic score was a 154. I have been taking one PT a week on 7Sage and so far my scores have been 157, 159, 161, and I scored a 165 with Blind Review each time. Average scores: -8 on LR, -12 on LG, -3 on RC.

My Study Method:

After Blind Review I have been printing out all of the answers I got wrong on the test and going through them individually. I write down what I got wrong, my thinking in why I got it wrong, and why the correct answer is correct. I then give a one sentence high-level summary of what to remember for next time. I was inspired by the LSAT Binder on TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@caitlin.org/video/6889045570518928646?lang=en)

I have also foolproofed most of the Logic Games I've gotten wrong.

I am really worried that I haven't seen better progress in my scores thus far, especially since foolproofing and individually reviewing questions takes so long. I have a full-time job and have only been able to study for an hour or two in the mornings, so it takes me until Wednesday or Thursday to finish reviewing a single practice PT from the weekend.

What do you all think -- am I approaching this right? Should I not review so much after BR and focus on just doing sections? Or something else? I want to be as thoughtful as possible in my studying, especially given my high score goal. But I am worried I won't reach it because I feel like I haven't improved at all.

Hi Guys ! If anyone knows new LSAT dates POST April FLEX - can you please let me know ? I've been keeping up with the LSAC.org site but just got wind of a June 7th exam, however, I do not see it posted on LSAC.org ?

Any insight would be great ! Thank you !

I recently took PT37 as a "flex-converted" prep test. After BRing, I viewed my results on desktop and everything seemed fine.

However, after trying to view my score on the 7sage phone app via the grader feature, I ended up grading the Flex converted test as a normal prep-test by mistake. This dropped my score by a lot, and is messing with my analytics. I've tried to reverse the test back to a flex grading, but no such luck.

Any advice on correcting this? Thanks!

Does anyone have some last minute advice on what they think about during the test itself? I always feel like I understand what I missed, etc. when going through old PTs, but then when I take the next test I forget everything I thought I learned. In other words, is there anything you tell yourself such as "do XYZ on LR" or "remember ABC on RC"?

So this is a bizarre question but I'm so serious - how many jackets are you allowed to have within your reach during the exam? I get really cold, and often will wear like two pairs of socks and three jackets inside, but I don't want to end up too hot (stress) or too cold (I have no heat). Is there a rule against...changing jackets?

I was just wondering what things I could use on test date. For example, how many pieces of paper, and what type, if I can consume food/drink, etc.

Also, when it comes to Proctor U, do I just go on the website and the test is available? Basically, is there anything special I need to do before tomorrow for the test?

Thank You

I've been scoring between 157-159 the past few tests, in the hopes of hitting the 160s before my flex on Tuesday.

Just took PT 89, which was probably a mistake lol. Although I could definitely feel that I wasn't into it (ie: tired, wasn't reading as clearly) I got a 151 which is what I scored last February... ouch.

I know this probably isn't indicative of my progress or how things will go next week, just looking for some reassurance I guess. Or thoughts from anyone else who may have experienced something similar.

I had heard 89 was difficult but I didn't think it would be difficult enough to bring me back to where I was a year ago when I joined 7 Sage lol. For the record it was mainly my RC score, but still...scary this close to my test.

I had planned on taking the May Flex as my last PT before my test on Tuesday? Do you guys think that I should? (ie: is it more or less likely that I will get a confidence boost from it lol) Otherwise I will just take the timed sections separately rather than a timed exam.

Side note: how on earth did I get ONE question right on the first arts passage, but FIVE right on the peptides passage???? What even is my life? ?@ 2be2ui
