Is there anyone who can look over my personal statement?

Hello, I was wondering what are some helpful & efficient strategies to review LR questions after completing a set of 5. I feel like I am spending a lot of time reviewing correct/wrong answers. Sometimes it takes me at least 30 minutes to review a problem set of 5. I either watch a video or read the explanations.Thank you.

Is anyone else studying while working full-time? I've been studying and working full-time for the last year and it's been really tough. I work a really stressful job (social work) so motivating myself to study after work has been very difficult for me. For those who work full-time, what are your study schedules? And how do you motivate yourself to stay on schedule? Any and all advice is appreciated!

Hey everyone,

If I wanted to apply to law schools for the 2022-2023 school year, would the last possible time to take the LSAT be the October date, or would I be able to take it in November or January and still apply for that year?

I created a wrong answer journal and I don't think I'm getting as much out of it as I should be and could use some guidance. I put down what the question type is, why I got the question wrong, and what I'll do differently next time but my answers are pretty basic: "didn't read carefully", "second guessed myself", "made excuses for the answer choice I picked". If someone could explain on how to go more in depth that would be great, thank you!

There seems to be mention of skipping questions in some of the tutorials. I know some standardized tests penalize more for a wrong answer than a skipped question. I'm brand new to the LSAT, so if anyone has any clarity on this point I'd appreciate the help!

This doesn’t have to be exclusive to the occupations listed above but I’m active duty Army and really struggling to find a consistent rhythm to get into and need some help. Currently trying to get one hour in a day during the weekdays and 2-3 hours in on either Saturday or Sunday. I’ve tried studying before physical training in the morning but I have sleep apnea and I’ve never been able to maintain it. I’ve been part of 7Sage for almost a year and I’m not even 75% of the way through the core curriculum and I’m really disheartened at how inconsistent I’ve been. If there’s a group for people with full time jobs or even if it’s just help and advice I’d really appreciate it. I’ve considered dropping my packet to get out of the army so I can find a job that would allow me more time to study but that isn’t really feasible for my family situation at the moment and I know there are others in this community with far more taxing jobs in terms of hours and stress that have made it work and I want to be one of them that figures it out. Thank you for taking the time to read this and good hunting with all your goals.

Very Respectfully,

Pat

Does anyone know if you are allowed to talk out loud to yourself during lsat writing, or is this forbidden like it is on the regular MC LSAT? #help

This might have an obvious solution, but I'm relatively new to 7Sage so please bear with me.

I'm signed up for the August test and have been alternating my PTs between the "simulate flex" option and the default four-section option, because neither seems to be a perfect representation of the August and later LSAT format. The flex option doesn't built stamina for a four-section test, but the default option isn't a 1:1 scoring conversion because there are two graded LR sections. I'm curious if there's a better approach. What have you found to be the best way to simulate the August test format?

(Maybe 7Sage will update the test options soon now that the three-section flex is no more? I'd love to take a four-section test--even if the extra section is always LR because of the previous test format--and have all four sections "graded" so I can review incorrect answers but only have three count toward my actual score.)

When making the study schedule would it be unwise to put the end date August 14th (the week the August LSAT is taken)? In other words, should I stop drilling practice exams and reviewing materials a couple days before the August exam?

Hey guys!

I am studying for the August /October LSAT and currently working full time. I've been able to do about 3 hours of studying each week night where I have been focusing on the CC. Is there a reason the course is structured to do the core curriculum and then straight practice tests? My study schedule with start and end dates has me studying 40+ hours a week, but it seems like that would be more manageable if I spread the core curriculum out and mixed it with Prep Test.

Would it be more beneficial for me to do the core curriculum during the week and a prep test each Saturday, or is that a terrible idea? My first diagnostic was a 150 raw and 164 BL. My goal is to get 170+. It seems like I will need to work on speed and confidence in my questions, and my logic is that doing a prep test each week will help strengthen those muscles.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Prior to to beginning my LSAT study journey on 7Sage, i completed 7 LSAT exams on the LSAC Test Prep Plus. Specifically they were exams 75-77, 79-80. I completed 3/4 parts using assimilated flex. I also completed 1 LR section of Preptest 74. I aim to take exams 37-89. What advise would you have on these exams. Do i re-do the exams or skip them and complete the exams i have not taken?

Hi!

So I have heard a lot of people are able to work through the lessons/core curriculum pretty quickly and I would like to know how. I previously studied for the LSAT all last summer working myself up from a 147 to a 158, so I'm familiar with the basic, but wanted to refresh myself so I started from the beginning. I am new to 7Sage. I took the August 2020 LSAT and completely choked. After I recovered from that traumatizing experience I finally have the courage to pick up the study materials again. I plan on retaking the LSAT in August and November, but I'm not able to keep up with the suggest schedule, because of all the time it takes me to get through the practice sets. Is there a method you guys use or do you just skip the practice sets? #Help

Dear 7sagers,

Hope everyone is doing well. I was wondering if anyone has had a great experience with a tutor that they can recommend. I am doing pretty well on LG so the 2 sections I really need help on are RC and LR. I average a -5 on LR and I am hoping to bring it down to a consistent -2. For RC my scores I fluctuate pretty dramatically from -8 to -4 so I am looking for a way that can help me get a -4 or less consistently. The RC sections that I do well on tend to be ones where I am very familiar with the content, so my goal is really to find a plan that's "content-proof" which would allow me to get the same score regardless of my familiarity with the content, which I have been told is the key to a -4/-3 on RC.

Any advice or recommendations is truly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi 7Sage!

My last PT was a 152 and my current and highest BR score stands at 171. Trying to get above a 162 on real test day. Is it that possible for someone who is more of a slower reader and does not have the best focus endurance?

Obviously a big gap that can be found in timing issues.

So my main question is: what are some good timing drills you do in RC, LR, and LG that helped you get better at speed and timing?

Thanks!

hi all, i took a PT and scored a 154. however, my BR score is a 169. does anyone have any recommendations on bridging this? appreciate it !

Does it matter what law school you go to?

Hi, I’m taking the august lsat and I’m looking for a study partner that wants to review 2-3 times a week.

How long should the LSAT Writing Essay be? The reason I am asking is because I have extra time (1.5x), and I don't want to make the writing sample too long. Thanks so much. #help

Hi Guys,

I just signed up for 7sage and I think the course is fantastic. I'm preparing to sign up for the October lsat or even the November lsat. The course is telling me to do 55 hours a week to prepare and I simply cannot do that. The maximum number of hours I could reasonably study per week is about 30, since I'm taking summer school and I wouldn't want to risk burnout. I already do fairly well on the Reading Comprehension, I just need a lot of practice on Logic Games and Logical Reasoning. Given that I have about 3.5 months to study, is 25-30 hours a week enough? I'm aiming for a 165+ on the lsat. I got in the low 140s for the diagnostic, however, it was my very first test. Any thoughts would be very appreciated!

Thank you

I have always heard that admissions only looks at your highest score…how true is this? If not, how many times is ideal max to test?

Has anyone taken 7sage Law school prep courses, I am wondering if anyone has found it beneficial. I can't find reviews on it.

Hello,

How is everyone who is taking the october LSAT testing and determining your score?

I understand that the october lsat consists of 3 graded portions and one experimental. However, how do you guys account this when you are PTing? I have been doing the 4 sections just to help me have more mental endurance, but the score for 4 sections wont be the same scale as one for 3 sections( if you all know what i mean).

Please share your process, Thank you in advance!

I had connection issues last weekend, and I need to decide whether or not I am going to opt into the retest that they offered me.

Do we know how common connection issues actually are for the FLEX?

(The issues I experienced were clearly related to ProctorU/LSAC servers, not my personal setup)

Thanks!
