Hi everyone- just finished a practice test and am feeling like I'm just not cut out for this. I've been studying since Feb and am taking the August LSAT. My score has remained the same, if not gotten worse. I feel prepared when studying but when it comes to the test I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.

Wondering if anyone has any tips or ideas as to why I'm unable to improve. Or just if anyone else feels this same way- misery loves company.

Hey all,

Anyone willing to share their progress with the rest of the site! It's discouraging seeing minimal improvement after studying for so long and it would be nice to see how others have improved. Here's how I'm faring after 6 months of study. The last 10 tests have been about 163-164 on the dot and I'm afraid that I'm reaching a plateau. I just want to know those who've almost touched the sun, 170+s what their progression was like.

6 months ago: (Timed Diag) 152

3 months ago: (After core curriculum) 159 timed

today: average 164 (on PT 50)

Title gets to the point. Recently I've found myself in a slump -- less fired up about studying, hovering around the same section averages, PT scores dipping a bit from inconsistency, etc. I only have a few PTs left and I want to make them count. I guess my question is:

Have you experienced a study slump w/ the LSAT? How'd you break it and get back to trending up? I know those are broad, loaded questions lol.

I am looking to retake a preptest that I took months ago and was wondering if there was a way to do this without deleting the past answers? Thanks!

I started studying in March of this year using the Powerscore books and the Testing and Analytics membership.

I did all three Powerscore Bibles and their entire 3 month curriculum.

About a month before today's test, I realized I wasn't making "enough" progress. My goal is a low 160.

I joined 7Sage and tried to "Frankenstein" my approach to refine my weaknesses: doing PTs, analyzing my answers with the explanation videos.

I made some progress with explanation videos, after completing PT sections, but after today, it's clear I was not ready.

Where do I go from here? Private tutor? Do the 7Sage curriculum from scratch?

How do I regroup?

As someone who is by definition an overthinker, I wanted to give those who fall prey to the same way of thinking some encouragement.

Stop overthinking your studies.

Overthinking leads to analysis paralysis where you'll end up worrying/overanalyzing/overthinking your LSAT studies instead of actually doing them.

Get a plan, stick with it, and work hard. The rest will come to you.

Creating this board for all things related to taking the LSAT this November 2021

While I take the June 2021 LSAT tomorrow, my LSAT journey is long from over. However, I thought it might be an appropriate time to thank 7Sage. Firstly, for the content and organized approach to studying for this demonic exam. Secondly, that they provide LSAT studiers with the opportunity to study this content at an incredibly reduced rate. As a person from an impoverished background who solely supports himself through undergrad, I cannot thank 7Sage enough. Studies show that tutoring, particularly for an exam like the LSAT, will increase your score significantly. This widens an already massive chasm that exists between poor and wealthy students -- and this is not to scorn the latter. 7Sage's core curriculum and JY's snarky remarks were the closest thing I could get to professional tutoring and I am extremely grateful!

Hey everyone! As the June LSAT is coming up these next few days, I have spent more time on this platform these past couple of weeks than I ever have expected. So I wondered if 7Sage can offer information about "time on the website" or "time dedicated" where individuals can see how many hours and days have been spent on this website. Of course, this isn't really a "useful" tool, but more so as a fun little logistic tidbit that shows an individual's dedication and maybe the time they spent, especially once they see their success on the actual exam. It could be as general as a time displayed or as detailed as time on each type of resource. I know it currently offers the time completed as percentage of CC and PT but something for the entire website, including explanation videos. Thank you.

How does one identify a great private tutor? What's a reasonable hourly fee?

Hey Everyone, quick question!

What is the protocol when it comes to scratch paper during the flex? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that we're supposed to rip up/destroy our scratch paper on camera after the test? I'm wondering if this a mandatory written rule. I don't recall reading this on the flex instructions.

I just took my LSAT writing, and I didn't rip up the scratch paper on the camera. I'm hoping this doesn't get my test flagged.

Thanks!

For example, if my exam were scheduled at exactly 12 (if all goes according to plan) how long did check in take and how long was the process overall?

Trying to time when I should ask my family to not disturb me for! Thanks in advance!

Is LSAT test taking skill acquired or innate?

Let's have a discussion.

Is Command F on Mac still allowed for LSAT Flex?

I am currently studying for the October 2021 LSAT and I'm not that far through the course. According to my study schedule, I should be studying 54 hours a week. I am a full time undergrad student and I have a job. Looking at the study schedule, it says that one LSAT Prep test takes 12 hours. I understand that that includes the BR time and reviewing answers. My question is, does it really take a full 12 hours to complete a full test and do the BR and review it completely? Does it take more or less? How many Prep tests can I realistically do in one week?

Hey everyone I’m here to just say, don’t give up.

Four years ago I started my journey to law school with a 2.8 GPA and an extremely low starting LSAT score. After obsession over the test, and with the tremendous help of 7Sage and its community, I was able to score a 171.

Yesterday, I graduated from Northwestern Pritzker School of Law and was awarded the Wigmore Key Student award.

Your past mistakes DO NOT DEFINE YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS. Anyone is capable of being right where I am.

So if things are hard right now, if the dream seems to far out of reach, just keep going. You will all achieve your goals. Work hard, study harder. Rely on 7Sage and the community here.

Apologies for the elementary question, but can someone please explain to me what needs to be done for the writing if I am taking the exam in June (this Sat.)? I understand the actual writing part (just make a competent argument), but I am confused on when I need to do this by? Does it need to be done before I sit for the exam Saturday, can I do it after, how long after? I have seen conflicting info and just am hoping for someone to provide any clarification. Thank you in advance.

I just wanted to post on here how much I love 7Sage. In early May, I took a diagnostic LSAT and got a 156. For the first couple weeks in May, I tried to study the cheap way... I used Khan Academy. While it was certainly better than not studying at all, I found Khan Academy's solutions and explanations to be very confusing and unhelpful. In particular, I found their explanations for Logic Games to be overly complicated and unintuitive. Given their system for solving LG problems, it just didn't seem possible for me to complete an entire LG section under timed conditions. After a couple of weeks with Khan Academy, I was able to score in the low 160's, but getting to 170 seemed impossible.

After going on Reddit and reading about how people who used 7Sage were able to get -0 to -2 on Logic Games, I decided to pay for a month and try it out. That was the best money I ever spent. Before I started using 7Sage, I was happy if I missed less than 8 questions in LG. After using 7Sage for only 3 weeks, I'm only missing 1 to 2 questions on LG. Last week I took a Practice test and scored a 167 (Missing only 1 question in LG). Today, I took another practice test and got a 171 (Missing 2 in LG). 7Sage's system for making gameboards on LG problems is incredibly fast and effective. LG is now my best section on the LSAT (It used to be my worst).

I take the real LSAT on Tuesday. Before signing up with 7Sage, I did not think that getting a 170 by June 15th would be possible for me. (Even still, I'm planning on taking the test again in August because I'm assuming that, come test day, I'll score in the mid 160's). But I now have the confidence I need to take the test on Tuesday. Thank you 7Sage (3.(/p)

Hey guys,

So I don't know if this is stupid and I'm just confused on the issue but are the estimated stats that 7sage has on the homepage curved differently than the regular PT scores we receive? I'm talking about the bar graph that you input your amount of incorrect answers on ____ amount of recent PT's. For example, I got 21 wrong on a PT and 7Sage estimated that to be a 162 point something on the most recent 10 PT's but my actual score was a 159. Just confused about the discrepancy. Generally, I thought that I could get roughly 25 wrong to get a 160 when using their estimated predictor but is this not the case?

Thanks!

First time test taker :)

Need help with how to go about it and what it will be like? Also, any helpful resources apart from the ones we have on 7Sage?

Hello,

I am stopping in to seek some advice. I am currently finishing my BA online and will have a GPA just below 3.5. Now, I am recently medically retired military with 13 years active service. I am at a crossroads of what I want to do for my career. I have been stuck on Law School for the last year or so, specifically Georgetown Law. If accepted I would be able to go to school for absolutely free due to GI/Yellow Ribbon, and I can do part time while holding a full time job. However, over the past month or so I have really been questioning if that's what I want to do. I have also considering a MBA in marketing or similar. I think the biggest deterrent from a JD was work life balance. Although salary is not my number 1 priority, it is an important factor in life. I have heard stories go both ways, people are happy, and people are disappointed. I am just seeking some advice and clarification. I am again at a crossroads and just unsure of what to do. Should I attend law school or do an MBA. Which in somonis opinion would be a good starting salary with a good work life balance? Again, I am 31 and have a family, I am willing to work hard for what I want, but I have already missed birthdays, holidays, and important things I wish I could have back.

Is it just me or was anyone else completely thrown off by the games in PT88 including the first game even though it's scored 1/5 and I have done well on all other in/out sequencing. What was this section???????

I just restarted my 7Sage subscription after not doing as well as I liked on the Nov. 2020 LSAT. Is there any way to completely restart my progress on tests and lessons so that I can go through the program from scratch again? Thanks!

Are any tutors in the NY area, looking for new clients? If you are please feel free to contact me. Thank You.
