Does anyone else's videos keep going down to 1x after choosing another speed? I have to repeatedly click 2x every 1-2 seconds.

I don't know if it's a glitch or just my computer. If it's just me, how can I fix this?

Any LSAT tutors live in the Hudson Valley, NY or Albany NY, or someone who lives in Westchester, NY.

I simply cannot improve my score. I have taken the LSAT before (twice) and scored 148 and 149. I used other resources to study (Kaplan). I signed up for 7sage because I know some people that took it and they highly recommended it. I used to watch the logic game videos when they were on youtube. Regardless, I have completed my core curriculum, and have begun to take full prep tests.

I have done 3 prep tests so far and completed the blind review as well. I literally scored 147, 149, 149 on my timed runs and scored 154, 159, 159 on blind review.

Any advice here? I cannot tell what is keeping me down.

After how many practice tests did you begin to notice an improvement in your score?

Keep in mind, I run my own business, so I do work long hours. My study schedule thus far has been this... Timed test on Sunday, Blind Review Monday, then Tuesday to Friday I review each section individually, and I take a break on Saturday.

Hey guys, does anyone use discord to pass information along in an easier way? If anyone is interested, let's start one!

Hi! I’m in search of a tutor for the January LSAT. This isn’t my first time taking the test, and I’m looking for someone that can help me break my plateau. My goal score is a 160, and I just need someone to push me, and provide me with some motivation that I am lacking. I am ready ASAP so interested tutors please contact me for one-on-one sessions. I am looking for regular sessions more than once on a weekly basis until the exam. Obviously the exam is not far away so I need someone who is ready to commit to me, as I will to them. I am a diligent student, I’m just feeling frustrating with my lack of improvement.

DM on the forum.

I've recently seen quite a few people saying PT's from the 30's, 40's, and 50's are relatively easier than the newer tests. Should I skip those and only PT newer ones?

Hello fellow 7sagers, I am writing in hopes of finding advice. My actual score has consistently been 149 while my BR score has been 161. How do I close this gap? Any insight is more than appreciated. Thank you!

Study together? Commiserate? Inspire? Support?

I am about to begin study again, aiming for a summer 2021 test date for Fall 2022.

Curious to know if anyone else in this boat wants an oar mate?

Hello everyone,

I am planning to buy Manhattan 5lb book to practice more drills.

I have started CC in logical reasoning but realized that the drills that are provided in the CC on various topics are not enough for me to apply my knowledge. Also, I am doing prep tests on different topics with various difficulty levels, parallel to obeying the blind review method. But that as well is not giving me the satisfaction.

I need a book that gives me lots and lots and lots of drills from easy to difficult, and which is also segregated by various topics.

I am doubtful whether to purchase loophole or to purchase Manhattan 5lb. Kindly address me with your opinions on the same. Also, if any other book is said to be good, kindly let me know. I am open to the vast category of discussions that help me learn faster and quicker.

Thank you.

Idk what i'm looking for here but I am definitely feeling upset. I wrote in 2018 and only got 151.

After nearly 3 months of studying, I am now PTing 151-154 with a few outlier scores of 158-159. I didnt know if i would hit my goal (low 160s) but I thought there is no way that I couldn't at least do better than the last time when I took it without even studying.

Im writing in January which is my last opportunity to get a good score for this application cycle and I am just feeling so defeated. I feel like all of this money and time was probably just a waste because I'm not improving even though I am studying constantly and taking breaks when I feel like I need them.

Any advice?

I just finished my LSAT Prep Test June 2007 (timed & blind review) and the curriculum showed me my score and answer sheet then took me to Main Point & Main Conclusion Questions. Do I continue with the curriculum or am I supposed to review the answers of my PT first?

I am wondering if anyone has taken the Flex using a standing desk or knows if they are allowed. I haven’t found anything definitive in my searches. Thanks!

Hello fellow LSAT takers,

I recently read a thread that discussed scoring below the median just like me. I noticed there was a large out-poor of comments. Yet, I have been unable to find study groups for those whose performance is sub-par.

I was so grateful that someone finally posted about it.

Anyway, I am now extending an invitation to those in the same boat and anyone willing to help.

Feel free to drop a comment or join in group me. :)

Thank you to @daisyharding08 for organizing. This group is now closed.

Does anyone out there have any inkling whatsoever whether the lsat dates to pick from will be. 11-15 or 18-22??

Hi y'all,

So I had taken the LSAT earlier and scored 167 on it. I was quite content with my score and was ready to apply with it this cycle but then couldn't do so due to some family situations and Covid. I am an international if that matters.

So I plan on taking the LSAT Flex in April and wanted some input on how should I go about it?

Important points to note: I am working full-time (its a hardcore job with me working 10-12 hours every day on weekdays and I can possibly only study properly on weekends).

I used to do either really well or really bad on LG. Moderately consistent on LR. RC my best days were -3 otherwise I rotated between -5 to -7.

My test average before I took the exam was 167-168 (so right about where I scored). BR used to be low 170s.

Thanks a lot fellow sagers!

Also, a shoutout to Sami for my previous 167. I took her weekend free tutoring sessions that she used to give. Really helpful in every way!

Is there ANY possibility that LSAC will be releasing any more flex tests? I know they released May months after it took place, but I was wondering if there is any possibility of LSAC releasing the June, July, or August tests? I'm really hoping for new materials.

hello my fellow friends,

I have started preparing for LSAT and thereby simultaneously, started to use powerscore bibles.

I can sit and concentrate while doing CC on 7sage, but I find bibles boring and monotonous and therefore I am not able to sit longer with them. I feel doing bibles and their practice books are important for me to build a smooth base of understanding.

all the helpful people there, kindly suggest me some tips, tricks and hacks that keep me motivated and focused on the journey.

Im started to get really stressed. I want to make sure I take the flex exam but I dont know if i will be 100 percent ready by april. Does anyone know when the rest of 2021 tests dates will be released and do you think they will continue to be flex?

Hi everyone!

I will be starting my LSAT journey again after a 1.5-year gap after receiving a 150 on the July 2019 LSAT. I just purchased the Loophole because of its great reviews. For those of you who used the Loophole with 7Sage, what was your strategy? I am planning on going through the CC again and based on past performance, I think I can benefit from the Loophole so I would appreciate if you can share what worked for you.

Thank you in advance!

I’m reading a new book called Essentialism, that I believe applies very well to the LSAT. The idea is to focus on fewer things and maximize them rather than spread yourself thin trying to do too many things. There are many examples in effective LSAT prep ranging from techniques to long term study strategies.

Reading Comp annotation is an excellent example. I only give my students about three or four things to annotate that give you the biggest bang for the buck. By contras, techniques with seven to ten things to annotate are just too many to keep track of and you’ll spread yourself thin. I’m not suggesting the three things I teach are mind-blowing but in my humble opinion, they are the most time effective to understand a passage.

Another example is Skipping or, as I like to call it, doing the questions on your order. You’re prioritizing the questions you’re more likely to get right. It doesn’t mean at all that you don’t get to the others but you don’t make the more challenging questions a priority. So if you’re going to run out of time, you’ve got the lower hanging fruit in the bag and the questions that you are less likely to get right are de-prioritized.

Studying priorities - another eXmple. Again, you only have so much time to study. Prioritize what gives you the biggest bang for your buck. Narrow down the resources that are going to give you the biggest priority. Whether that comes to a certain textbook or course or question types where you need the most help.

Study hours themselves are another great example. When students have an opportunity to study as much as they like I often suggest that they refrain from the temptation to make this a full-time job. It sounds really great to devote 8 hours a day to LSAT study to maximize your score. But the concepts are so abstract that you won’t be effective after a few hours. I tell my students to limit their study hours 4 to 6 max. It’s not easy because it forces you to limit your time to the things that’ll be most effective. But you’ll find that your focus is much more powerful throughout those few hours rather than spreading yourself thin through eight. Often if a student goes beyond four hours or more, their focus begins to wane.

You may find that making choices of what not to focus on can be quite challenging. But as a student, and through years of teaching, I’ve consistently found that focusing on fewer things that make a bigger difference is what leads to the most improvement overall.

Just purchased the LSAT Prep Plus which includes LSATs 19-89 and i was wondering which ones you guys recommend i save for practice tests? I feel like LG nowadays is far more difficult than what it used to be a few years ago.

Thank you!

Hi all. I have been PTing in the low 170s (averaging 172.5) and have only scored 175+ twice with a 175 and a 178. I scored in the high 160s on my first official test and would like to get my average high enough for my score to still be 173+ despite a test day drop. Does anyone have advice on how to consistently break into the mid to high 170s range? My main problem section is RC which typically ranges from -0 to -5. Is there any way to get this more consistent? Also, despite foolproofing games from pts 1-50, I still occasionally go -2 on LG. Is there anything more I can do to consistently get that to -0? I feel the most confident in LR where I average -1 and have never scored below -3.

I am considering trying a PT + review every day as some people I know had success with that strategy. While I think this may be unwise for some, I could see it being helpful for me as I have a strong understanding of the fundamentals. Or would I be better off just doing tons of RC and LG sections?

Thank you for the help!

Hello,

I currently live in Mainland China and I am signed up for the April 2021 LSAT which has been changed to the LSAT-Flex test. I have been looking at the LSAC website to see if there are any issues in China with the LSAT-Flex. Have any of you heard of people taking the test in Mainland China?

I've been PTing in the mid-low 160s for a while.

A friend recommended 7Sage, especially for Logic Games, and I started the Core Curriculum / drilling / blind reviewing.

After 4 months of studying, I've finally broken trough the 170s!!

I got a 174 (-1 LR, -5 LG, -0 RC) and a 179 on BR.

Thanks so much to the 7Sage community and to JY!!

If you're struggling like I was, know that it gets better!!!

Hi guys! I've been using 7Sage to study for over a month and am very comfortable with using the tools/navigating the site/etc. when doing problem sets and PTs.

Can anyone who took a flex exam tell me how different LSAC's interface is? Are the tools the same, and is the layout similar enough that I won't be adapting to it on test day? Thank you!!
