I logged into my study schedule today and it looked noticeably different than it did yesterday. It jumped from 912 hours of content to 1368 hours. 4 weeks now have no content and the week of February 8 has 493 hours of content (456 is PrepTests 1-35 - Drilling Materials). The dates I'm using is December 17, 2020 - April 9, 2021. Is anyone else having this problem?

So a lot of people seem to get through their questions quickly and then go back to check/confirm/unflag numerous answers later.

my question is: why not make sure you got them right the first time before moving on? (without getting too fixated on any particulsr question)

I imagine if you have time to go back and check more than 3 flagged or skipped answers in total, you're moving too fast, skimming answer choices etc.

for arguments sake, I finish sections on time and go -2 (good day/section) to -4 (bad day/ section)

Great discussion here! We edited the title for clarity to get this thread more exposure.

I just started studying the beginning of this month and so far I have been going through the core curriculum. I recently saw on a comment thread that there are problem sets as well (I am unsure how I missed this). I was wondering if anyone would share how they study, whether they do problem sets after each section in the core curriculum or any suggestions as to how I may use this course in the most effective manner. I am feeling overwhelmed with all the content and am scared that I am not using it correctly/getting the most out of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good tutors on this site for helping with the Reading Comprehension section specifically, although probably with LR and LG, too. For whatever reason, RC is the section I was struggling with the most and was looking for someone who could help me out. Thanks!

Whether or not my score improved this morning, I'm done with my journey here. Just wanted to say thanks to the community here and to JY - I ended up on 7sage after consistently bombing LG and after 4 months of diligent fool proofing I finished my flex this morning fairly confident in my LG score.

Good luck everyone - hope you all end up at your dream school :)

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.
