Hey All,

I'm approaching the final 3 months (hopefully lol) of my journey and I'm wondering if I should be taking my full length exams in LawHub or 7sage? I want to take the exam in conditions that are as close to the actual exam but I'm sacrificing the all the cool BR/Data aspects of 7sage?

What do y'all suggest?

I was wondering if you all had any tips on how to stay engaged when reading long texts for the LSAT flex. When I read on paper I like to use my pen/finger to trace the words to stay engaged with close reading, but I am struggling to find a way to mirror this for the flex.

I'm curious why everyone here is interested in going to law school :)

I'll start– I want money! jk. I had a high school class where we took field trips to meet different professionals and I liked the prosecutors above all. At least on the surface, they all looked happy with their jobs and their work sounded interesting, especially the one in the special victims' unit. I also watch legal dramas, so my understanding of legal work might be a little too romantic.

Hi everyone!

I'm currently in the beginning of the course, and I am just curious if you guys showed a large improvement between your diagnostic PT and the first few PT's you took once finishing all the prep lessons offered? Or did most people just show gradual improvement as you took the PT's?

Thanks!

I first registered for the Flex in November, but then after scheduling my November exam time on Proctor U, I decided to change my test date to January.

In November, I received the ProctorU link to create my account and all - they sent me the email with my acct and temporary password. I'm almost positive I created a new password but now I can't get into my account whatsoever. Even worse, when I click "forgot password" it doesn't send me an email, so I have no way of creating a new password.

Do we get new proctor U info if we sign up for a new exam? I technically have never taken a Flex exam, but I definitely signed up for the November exam through Proctor U. Or is something seriously wrong on my part...

Hi! So I recently received an official diagnosis for ADHD. It has been believed I have had a learning disability since childhood but due to my parents financial situation could never afford a full evaluation and opted for extra tutoring instead. We think I have/had Dyslexia but some teachers also suggested ADHD so this isn't too much of a shock. The reason I even got tested now was because I found out my school gives student discounts on evaluations and COVID factors have heightened my attention struggles. It is too late for me to apply these results to an LSAT, but I feel at least validated that my struggles have not just been in my head. With these results, can I maybe get testing accommodations in law school? Should I bring up this information when talking to schools about learning environments? Anyone with similar experiences I would love to hear from! TIA!

Hi there! I am 2 weeks out from test day, and I am still experiencing widespread inconsistency, or random inconsistencies at times. My past 10 tests have been 176-170-166-165-170-168-168-169-170-168, and today, I got 161 on PT85, my worst in a long time. For those of you who are consistent in your scores, how do you do it? My BR has generally put me in the low 170s, but I don't get why sometimes my mind just completely blank and.I hit rock bottom.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey everyone, my life has taken a turn recently. And at this moment I don't have the time to keep studying. That being said I plan to attack the LSAT again later in life when things cool down and I have the time to give it the attention is deserves. Thus, for now I don't want to continue paying $90 dollars a month for 7 sage, if i cancel but come back again later will 7 sage still recognize what I have covered, and where I am in the syllabus ? I don't want to lose my progress !!!

Anyone have experience with this ?

Thanks !

Hello Sagers,

I am currently going -7/8 on LR and I wanted to know how long it took y’all to get to -2/3? And if you have any tips on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated!

I do have an active Ultimate+ membership. I have reached out to 7sage, but I just want to ask and see if maybe anyone else is experiencing the same thing. I've never had to link a PrepPlus account (additional cost) to watch any video explanations before; my Ultimate+ always worked fine. I am mainly looking at logic games, which are supposedly all accessible w this membership.

Hi all,

Will law schools care if I take the Jan LSAT and apply in October. Would it look like I was trying to avoid the longer LSAT and would that look bad?

Hi All! I have seen a lot of people post seeking advice on their personal situations with the LSAT (to which many 7Sagers have provided great responses) and I have recently found myself in a bit of a pickle that leaves me wanting to do the same. This month marks a full year of me studying for the LSAT. I have increased my score from the high 140s to the high 150s (last three tests were each a 157) and my ultimately goal was to break into the 160s and ideally to have a 165+ score as my GPA isn't the greatest and I am really concerned about receiving money from the schools that I apply to. I recently had an unfortunate family situation that cropped up leading me to change my originally scheduled Jan test to April and am now facing some familial pressure and personal doubt about that decision. I worry that since I have already put a full year into this and have yet to break 160, am I just kidding myself in believing that I can do this by April? I already decided to extend my gap years and work full time so it doesn't really impact my application cycle to take the test in April as opposed to January, but I do still have a chance to sign up for the Feb administration. Should I just bite the bullet and take it asap as I feel like I'm losing the will to keep going or should I keep trying to break 160? I'm just feeling burned out and in self doubt at the moment and any advice from people that know what it's like to dedicate time to studying for this test like you guys is appreciated! (I also work full time by the way and unfortunately am not in a financial position to quit my job).

I have always been an awful test taker, regardless of the subject or however knowledgeful I am in those topics. I would rather speak in front of the class then take a test. With this test it has only increased my anxiety levels, has anyone or does anyone have any tips to combat this feeling. I feel that it is truly hurting my score and in thinking that i need a certain score to get into the my school of choosing is further amplifying that. Please help, I am taking the LSAT in 2 weeks, which is not helping :(!!!!!

(Hope this post is allowed.) I need a private tutor to help me jump from the 159-low 160s to at least a 170. Please send tutor reccs.

Hi! I have noticed that when I take PTs, I struggle with changing gears when sections change. What I mean by that is if the first section is LR, I am able to get into the swing of LR but then when it switches to RC for the next section, I'm slow at getting my brain to read and answer RC questions.

I notice that I do worse on sections as the test goes on. This isn't an endurance issue because I'm not tired or want to stop, I'm just not able to think as quickly.

Any advice for what people do or how to get over this?

I’ve had anxiety problems since I was 12, and have also been on medication for anxiety since then as well. Despite being on a medication, I still get anxiety during tests to the point where I nearly get sick to my stomach. The LSAT is the biggest test of my life, just like it is for many others. I have pretty much everything riding on doing well and hitting my target score. What can I do to lessen my test day anxiety? Is it possible for me to receive extra time or something? Is there a medication I should request from my doctor to help reduce the anxiety I have? I am just extremely stressed about this situation, and I haven’t even scheduled my test date yet.

When JY says that we can disregard a statement that is preceded with the word “although”, can we literally just skip right over the statement that follows that word without reading it as if it has no effect on the argument? I know that doing so would save a few seconds, but im too OCD in making sure i read every word, feeling i might miss out on something important.

Hi all, does anyone know how the refund option works? I'm taking the Jan test and am also thinking about registering for the Feb test in case I don't feel good about my score after taking the Jan test. Do you know how much I would get refunded for if I withdraw before the deadline?

I will give a gist about myself and hopefully you might find me a beneficial study partner.

I am a non traditional applicant (8 years out) and I have taken the exam 2x with my last score at 150. I am PTing in the mid 150s and looking to get somewhere in the 160s . Would like to have a study partner who can commit to 2x week (once during the weekday and 1 weekend day). Preferably someone who is Pting 155 or higher looking to get 160+. My strength is LG than LR than RC. I am ok with zoom or FT.

Sometimes I hit 170/173/174, other times I hit 164-167. Would like to stabilize this and improve my scores so that they're consistently 170+ (preferably 172 or 173+). Looking for a study buddy who is in a similar situation!

Hello everyone,

I have been a 7sage member for a while but haven't even gone through the CC. I am a full time Electrical Engineering student and have a few jobs on campus, so I usually would be so overloaded with work that I keep pushing studying for the LSAT. Though now I am pretty much free with winter break, and my upcoming semester is very light as I am done with all my engineering courses.

I have been having a real hard time the last 2 weeks sticking to studying. I attend a pretty tough college so studying a minimum of 6 hours a day up to 14 hours is not strange to me and I have the stamina for it but focusing on the LSAT has been a struggle.

Anyone have any advice on how to become consistent, and stick to it? Anything you did to hold yourself accountable?

I feel odd asking as I know its a "motivation" thing. But I really am in for the hours to study, though every time I plan a study session I either just get distracted with random things or something gets in the way.

Thank youu in advance

Many of you like myself spend today reflecting on what a year it has been and look forward for what's to come in the following year. As I sat down and thought about my journey thus far with the LSAT and what is to come, I felt compelled to share words of encouragement with this wonderful community.

I started this journey more than a year ago now and with wishful thinking that I could study for 3 months and put it behind me. Once I realized that it wasn't that simple for me, I had to readjust and become comfortable with delaying not one but now two application cycles. I share this for those who feel immense pressure to stay on a directed path and deadline. If you have the opportunity to forgo an application, do not fear delaying, do not fear time. Seriously, don't let the fear of how long it could take to achieve your goal stand in the way of getting there. Remember that it isn't the destination but your growth in the journey. "Never give up on your dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it, the time will pass anyway" - Earl Nightingale

One of the worst mistake I made in the beginning was putting myself down and questioning whether I was even "smart enough" to make it. Don't sabotage yourself by adopting negative attitudes about your intelligence or abilities to reach your target LSAT score. The pursuit of creating success should be you taking care of yourself first which means not putting yourself down. Success happens when you show up powerful and through believing yourself. "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts" - Marcus Aurelius

Failure. There is no such thing with the LSAT, it took me quite some time to understand this. I thought my diagnostic of a 147 was a failure, that getting an entire problem set wrong was a failure, that not seeing improvement meant I was failing. All of these aren't failures. I started to think of each question as a rung on a ladder; you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Sometimes you don't think you're progressing until you step back and see how many steps you've climbed. Every missed question is just an opportunity to get better, be persistent in your mindset and keep trudging through until you achieve results. I'm a huge sports fan, so I'll use this analogy for anyone out there who may be able to relate. When you drop a basketball it bounces. Every time you let it bounce without touching it, it becomes lower until it settles on the ground. If you keep dribbling, it will keep bouncing. You have to keep dribbling, you have to keep bouncing back despite how many times the test tries to make you settle. Even if you don’t yet know how you will resolve the task, keep bouncing. "No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself" - Seneca

Be ready to face any challenge and overcome it. Be hungry for success. Keep going no matter what.

Remember, "Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor" - Alexis Carrel

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! Best of luck :)

Hi all,

Tomorrow is the last day to reschedule the Jan LSAT for free. I'm consistently (almost maddeningly so) getting 172s on my latest PTs. Before that I was getting 171s consistently so there's progress but its very slow. Maybe if I reschedule to Feb, I can get into inch up to a 173-174 but I might not. I'm fairly comfortable with my chances at getting into the schools I want to if I get a 172, but a higher score would be nice too.

To help with my decision, could anyone give me the lowdown on the relationship between LSAT and scholarships at T14 schools? Are certain scholarships (like the Toll at UPenn) where everyone can apply heavily dependent on LSAT and GPA or is the review process holistic?

I thought I had mastered LSAT Games until I started doing the newer PTs.

Games after 60 are killer. My fundamentals are strong and there are some odd sections where I get decimated.

Do I need Prepplus if my account predates prepplus itself?
