So I was reading the LSAC practice prompt and was wondering if I could answer with "This plan is currently the most effective strategy, but eventually they should expand to a national strategy once regional expansion is established." Here is the prompt: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsat-prep/practice-test/writing-sample-topic

Could anyone let me know if this is a factor that would hurt me and my argument or if it's okay to answer any which way.

Has anyone got an email that says that you haven't scheduled a testing time yet? I scheduled my testing time using the password reset trick before the official scheduling window opened, and my ProctorU account has the countdown to my scheduled time running, but I got this email and am wondering if anyone else got it too.

Hi all, I apologize if this is a stupid question but is it possible to redo the PTs on 7sage? If so, how? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

As you may already know, the site went down yesterday, June 8th, at 3:20pm EDT and did not fully recover until 4:30pm EDT.

It was due to the introduction of a piece of third-party code into the website. That code had been working without issue on our Bar Prep site (7sage.com/mbe) for a few days. We decided to activate the same code for the LSAT site (7sage.com) but it unexpectedly swamped our database with 300x it's normal load. We noticed immediately and started trying to revert the change. However, the load on the database made it very hard to do so. We partially reverted it after about 25 minutes, and it wasn't fully reverted for another 45 minutes.

Here is a timeline of what happened:

3:20pm EDT - Site went down

3:20pm EDT - Problem is noticed and we start trying to fix it

3:45pm EDT - Changes are partially reverted on some servers and slow access is restored for some students

4:30pm EDT - Site fully restored for all students

We are so sorry for the outage! We know that preparing for the LSAT is stressful, and we hate any outage, even just for a minute, let alone for 70 minutes. Our deepest apologies.

If you have any questions, concerns, or issues please reach out to us at studentservice@7sage.com.

Hi,

Does anyone know if we're allowed to use pen or mechanical pencil during Flex?

I don't think they're allowed for in-person testing but thought I saw somewhere that they were listed under allowed items.

Hi! I just joined 7sage about two weeks ago and I am hoping to take the August test. I'm also completing an internship that requires 40 hours a week. I'm nervous that I will not make it through the core curriculum (much less any of the practice tests) in time for the test. I've been trying to study 2 hours a day and make up time on the weekends but still feel overwhelmed. Anyone in the same boat or have any tips?

Hi- I have saved the most 4 recent LSAT to take before next Tuesday. Wondering what other people's strategies have been leading up to test day to ensure they are getting the right practice under timed full test conditions (rather than timed sections), without burning out

who is taking the exam this weekend?

Hi all! New here (just switched from Khan) and I'm really liking 7Sage so far. I did the customized study schedule and it's suggesting 40 hrs a week, which is fine...but after the basics/CC, it's telling me to take a bunch of PTs every week. My question is: is this correct? I was planning on maybe 1-2 per week, but 3-5 seems overkill to me...thanks for reading! :)

Hi, I was thinking of hosting a lsat game night every THURSDAY, at 6pm PST, via kahoot, via zoom, until the August test. Thought this would be an interesting way to shake up studying. If interested comment down below so I can send you the link. I CHANGED THE DAY OF THE WEEK.

Hi 7Sagers,

Do you know anyone taking the bar exam this July? Let them know that we're staging a free 24-hour bar exam cram session with some of the best law school professors in the country. Each professor will give a 45- to 60-minute lecture on the most tested topics of his or her subject followed by an hour-long interactive review session. We'll break from midnight to six A.M.

The Cramathon is completely free. We'll even give away mystery prizes to a few lucky attendees!

When: Monday, July 19 at noon Eastern time through Tuesday, July 20 at noon Eastern time.

Where: Zoom!

Sign up here, or learn more.

Not sure how to tag admin and sorry if this is a bit nit-picky but I just noticed that the comparative art passage on PT88 is only labeled as an art passage, not comparative, so it doesn't come up if you sort RC passages for comparatives when making problem sets.

Hi everyone,

Foremost, I appreciate you for reading this discussion post, and genuinely thank you for sharing your 2 cents, should you happen to respond.

Let me begin.

I am in the stage of my life in which I am able to allocate 7-10 hours of my day into studying for the LSAT. I just graduated from Johns Hopkins master’s program, and only have two hours of tutoring per day. In other words, the rest of my day is free for me to do what I want.

However, the difficulty I encountered is that I am unable to work solely on the LSAT for 10 hours. What I mean by this is that I am not blasting through these LSAT problems, or the 7Sage Core Curriculum but rather moving in a gradual, painfully slow manner. In other words, I am inching forward, instead of blasting forward.

I am on computer 7-10 hours per day but I feel as I progress through the 7Sage Core Curriculum painfully slow while I have read others saying they finished the Core Curriculum within 2 months while working full-time.

The way I approach the Core Curriculum is that I take notes of all modules and write wrong answer notes for each question I get incorrect or am confused about.

My goal is to get into HLS, but having grown up as a non-superstar, I am not sure if I am just plainly stupid or is not focused enough.

I got all A’s on my last half of the program at Johns Hopkins AAP, and we had students who went to UPenn Law, Berkeley Law, and UCLA Law from our program. Although these individuals had almost perfect GPA at JHU AAP, I, too, was getting a perfect GPA once I was used to the distance learning during the second half of the program.

My first college was Northeastern University School of Pharmacy in which I was a part of 0+6 accelerated Doctor of Pharmacy program. I quit the program and transferred to an American college in South Korea, receiving an American state school college bachelor’s degree.

In other words, although I graduated from JHU AAP, I didn’t grew up as a Harvard undergraduate material, or any of the sort that we encounter during high school era (so called, “superstars.”)

Was moving forward the 7Sage Core Curriculum and going through the LSAT Practice Tests painfully slow for those of you who have done well on the LSAT? Or, were you all just blasting through these modules and tests, acquiring logical rules and conventions in a glimpse of second?

I am just confused because tutors I deal with in South Korea (I live in South Korea) makes it seem as they studied for such a short period of time (less than a year) and was able to achieve a 175+. However, I am unsure if I am gifted to achieve the same feat, or if I should just continue to grind hoping that I will eventually acquire the knowledge to do well on the test.

Please help and share your thought.

I'm naturally a pretty fast reader, and almost never run out of time on the LR and RC sections, (i'm going to leave AR out of this discussion as it's a completely different kettle of fish) so during BR i've already selected the answer choice I like the most, and most of the time disproved the other answers in my head too. I totally understand the benefit of BR, but basically never change my answers because my thinking hasn't changed since when i first selected the answer I liked the most. I of course still get plenty wrong, but don't really catch any during BR. Anybody else have a similar experience, or want to give me advice?

Greetings!

I would like to tutor/mentor for free someone in the 150s. Ideally, I would like to just tutor Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. More specifically, I would like to discuss and explain the fundamentals to whoever I will be tutoring. My average test score is 162. My average blind review score is 175. Currently, I am just practicing my test taking skills under time conditions, so that I can come closer to my blind review score by August, the month I will be taking the official LSAT.

The way I plan to go about this is to either talk about questions or passages that I have already covered or to take a new practice test and to discuss it afterwards. We can figure out the details in a zoom call.

Cheers,

Favio

Commiserate amongst ourselves and some last ditch efforts toward those target scores. Let's spend an hour or so getting this out of our systems and transitioning into fuckin kill mode.

https://meet.google.com/dvm-fcqm-pky. DONE! Thanks everyone!

I just logged into my syllabus and saw a message saying my LSAC Prep Plus subscription is expiring. Do I need to renew it to keep using my Ultimate 7Sage course? Please advise. Thanks

I know the max amount of times you can take the test is 5 within the past 5 years/ reporting period. I took the test first Feb 2018 and again Jan 2021. There is also a statement on LSAC's website that says "This policy is forward-looking, not retroactive. Tests taken prior to September 2019 will not count against these numerical limits."

I may be overthinking it and my anxiousness for the June 2021 test is creeping up (I was not freaking out before, but now I am and definitely feeling under prepared for what I want to score), but with the 5 test limit my Feb 18 test will not count towards the 5 limit test correct? But then will it count towards the 7 lifetime tests?

Hi! I already took PT 70s on 7sage > LSAT Questions > Prep Tests and want to retest all 70 again!!

I don't know whether I should click delete button for test again or not.

Anybody can help me?!

English is not my mother language. Although I have been practiced a lot, I still make mistakes when I try to read faster. I can finish a question set if I choose +50% time. But I knew it wouldn't be enough if I want a good score. So if you have any same experience please give me some advice.

Is it recommended to read questions aloud when studying for the LSAT? It's easier for me to study that way, but I try not to because when it comes to test day I know I can't speak out to disrupt other students. Does this make sense? How do others study and what's recommended? It's challenging for me to break down the context of questions in my head.

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding test dates and time. I was looking at the schedule for the June test and noticed there were 3 test dates: June 12, 13 and 15. Does anyone know why this is? And will this is be same for the other tests too?

Also, I'm planning to take the test in Ontario, Canada, but I don't know the starting time for the test. Is it usually 7AM or 9AM?

Thank you in advance!

Anybody have a list of challenging and/or uncommon vocabulary words that make their way into the LSAT? If so, would this amazing person mind sharing?

Thanks in advance :)

I opened PP on chrome today, usually use firefox, and it asked if I wanted to install the app, "to get there faster." How long has THIS been available? I feel like I just sped some prep up with easier access to the library of PTs.

for any of the April testtakers, if it WAS available back then, did it screw up your test-day? did you have to use it to take the exam? I'm trying to replicate test day for June and I don't want to rely on the app v. chrome too much if I'll be testing on chrome for test day. ... not that it makes THAT much of a difference
