Hi all - I’ve been pting in the low/mid 170s and blind reviewing close to 180. Hoping to close this gap (~-3 rc/Lr) by offering free tutoring in LR and RC. Happy to also help with LG questions but frankly nothing beats fool proofing games. Feel free to PM me to set something up.

Can anyone explain to me the difference between the list of PrepTests 1-35 and the old LSAT's that are used as PrepTests?

Hello everyone!

I'm the type of person that needs structure but have no idea how to organize a good studying schedule.

I have already taken the LSAT in the past and received some tutoring but I am now really diving in and focusing on it.

I have been going through all of the material in the schedule 7sage created for me, but I don't think it is doing me justice. Of course review is always beneficial, but I feel like I should be drilling way more at this stage (I want to take the LSAT October 2021).

Can some one recommend me a schedule/regime to follow?

Additionally if you have any material/a regime that really worked/has really worked for you, please feel free to include that in your recommendation as well. Any help is welcomed.

It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all and best of luck!

Or as JY would probably say because of his various star wars references, may the (LSAT) force be with you (:

Hi everyone! I recently started listening to JY's podcast from the beginning and there is a lot of talk of different webinars/recorded online tutoring sessions and such. Does anyone know where these would be found or if they are even still available? Thanks in advance!

When did the LSAT move from their usual 5 sections (1 section experimental) to the now 4 sections (1 section experimental)? I am taking the August LSAT and I know it consists of 4 sections with 1 being experimental but it seems odd that in the past, students were scored on more questions.

Sorry for the long message - have been nervous about this upcoming flex but also don't want to lose the momentum and would so value any advice.

I started studying this past December (on and off) and took my first flex in April. Despite scoring (on average) between 168-172, I had technical difficulties and was a bit below my range & canceled my score. Looking back on it, I probably should've waited until I was consistently breaking 170 to even take the exam. Looking forward, I really want to get to a place where I am consistently breaking 172/173 (my goal being T-14).

In the time since the April exam, I've taken 9 exams with scores of 170, 167, 169, 171, 169, 169, 177, 174, and 168 respectively. Because of the range / inconsistency, I feel anxious about taking the June exam (my second try) but want to make sure I'm not making a mistake because I will likely have to take this summer off for the most part. I am entering my senior year of college so if i I moved it I would take my second try sometime next year, but I unfortunately feel like I have burned through a lot of the more recent practice tests (I've done most of the 60s, and all of the 70s and 80s). This summer, I'll be working full time and will likely have little time to study, but was planning on doing some problems from the core curriculum each week so I don't lose my progress.

I guess my two questions are 1) do you think I am correct to move my test date until I consistently am breaking 170s or did it always fluctuate for you? (I've heard of people always having variance and then hitting their best on test day, but it clearly didn't work that well for me the first time so want to be more strategic now) 2) how long would you wait to "forget" the tests I've already done? If I spend this summer doing solely problems from PTs 35 and earlier (core curriculum) and pick back up with full length PTs starting in September or October, is that enough time to forget the tests I've done from December - now? What's the best way to proceed from here so I can more confidently hit 175? (I struggle most with logic games so will definitely drill those first)

So sorry for the incredibly long message and thank you for any advice! I have to decide today or tomorrow about moving the test for free so any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello! I am looking for a private remote tutor (one on one preferably, but open to small group settings). Preferably someone who is familiar with both 7Sage and Powerscore concepts since I've been studying primarily using the two.

If anyone has any recommendations for a good tutor please let me know!! :)

Hi everyone!

I'm currently studying super hard for my LSAT and plan to take it this June and it's giving me a lot of anxiety. I I'm currently not scoring where I need too & the school I want to attend has a median LSAT score of a 158. On the other hand, I just graduated college and I have a GPA of a 3.9. I also have a good amount of legal experience on my resume working as a legal assistant, paralegal, and legal intern. Do you guys think that applying either Early Decision or right when applications open in mid-late September -- will increase my chances of getting in? (Also, I know that if I apply ED it is binding so I'm not worried about that because that's where want to go). Please let me know what you guys think! All opinions are appreciated.

Best,

Marcella

Hello & happy studying to all,

I am feeling quite anxious as the June test is approaching and hoping someone can offer me some sound advice. I started studying in February of this year and my plan was to take the June and August LSAT so that I can apply to law school in early September. As I heard from many to apply as early as you can.

To give you some background I started off with a low diagnostic of 141 (yikes). I have been studying consistently each week and have seen improvement (my highest PT being a 156). I am proud of this improvement as I am not the best test taker but I ideally I would like to be in the 160s. In addition, my score has been fluctuating (7 points) and I would like to see more consistency. I am confident that come August I will be able to bridge this gap.

The reason I would like to take the LSAT now is to get one under my belt so that by August I am ready to go and that by end of September all of my applications are submitted. I feel like I am playing with a double edge sword... is it better to wait and take the LSAT in August and then again in October or is it better to apply as early as I can with the June and then the August LSAT. Note- I would like to take the exam twice as I have test anxiety and I know that I will feel more confident the second time around.

If I apply to schools in September but take the October LSAT I hear that my application will be put on hold and they wont review until they receive my final score. Does applying in early September vs mid November have that much of a difference?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and hopefully someone can help.

As I understand it, LSAT is fully digital now and there isn't an option to take the test with actual paper and pencil. I hate not being able to cross out and jot things down in the actual margins of the test. Does anyone have tips or insight on this point? Most folks are probably fine doing digital but I'm old and prefer concrete, pencil and paper tests.

Hello everyone,

I m at my breaking point with this and thinking about not continuing. I am not a quitter but I am just tapped out. I am seeing steady and good progress with LR and LG but RC is kicking my ass. I am missing between 12 and 18, and I am not sure wth I can do to fix this. This is coming from someone who is an avid reader and has always excelled in writing/reading. I don't know what else to do, I am angry with myself because it's just freaking reading, I am honestly both mad and frustrated, can anyone PLEASE point me in the right direction?

I'm currently registered for the June LSAT (first registration with preview), and since I'm an international, I cannot postpone to the August LSAT, as it is only for US. My PTs have been averaging around the mid 160s but I do want to aim higher. Based on what I know, the best time to apply to law schools is around October, and taking it on October means that I would be receiving my score on November. Would I be at a great disadvantage to be applying a bit later, i.e. November? Should I take the June and see how it goes and take it again on October? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Long time user of 7Sage here. I've studied for the LSAT for a while now and I scored a 170 on test day and I'm planning to retaking for a high 170s score. My PTs have ranged from 169-178, but I am still quite inconsistent within this range.

I've been considering going through the Core Curriculum. I've watched a few videos before but have never actually sat down to go through the whole thing. I'm now considering going through the CC because I have decided to apply not this upcoming cycle, but the following one, and so I do have more time to study. I'd like to improve in all 3 sections but my current weaknesses are:

Formal Logic (not including conditional logic, but just operating the Most/Some statements and those questions).

Weird games (pattern games, mapping games, circular games in PowerScore language. Think Employee Workpiece game or Virus game).

Rule substitution questions.

Science passages in RC.

Curve-breaker RC/LR questions.

Consistency in all 3 sections (to go from -2 to -3 to -0 to -1 consistency.

I'd say that I'm strong at LG (able to go -0 to -3) but I'm also seeking more consistency. Would you say that the LG portion of the Core Curriculum is worth going through if one has already done all the games there and even watched most the explanation videos for those particular games? Is there anything different between the explanations for LG within the CC vs. the explanation videos for the games taught in the CC (found under Problem Sets > Explanation Videos)? I've heard rave reviews about the LG portion of the CC specifically from quite a few people, so I'm wondering if it's worth going through or whether it's more for someone who's still making a ton of mistakes?

I don't think it's really necessary for me to go through the CC, but I do think that it might help solidify my knowledge and cover any remaining weaknesses I have.

How long did it take you to go through the entire CC (not counting doing the actual PTs included in there)?

I was thinking that I would skip some of the LR/RC Problem Sets because I've developed my own system of allocation for the PTs and I don't have that many fresh PTs left, so I want to be careful not to use up any fresh PTs/sections. How long would just watching the video lessons take (not including the problem sets)?

I would also love any advice about how you went about going through the CC/what to skip/what's important. Did you take a lot of notes? Did any of you high scorers (170+) do something similar where, for a retake, you went back to the fundamentals? Did it pay off to do so?

I have almost done all of the practice tests from PT 19 to PT 88. Currently, I only have two tests fresh. However, I'm still not scoring at my target score. But I have registered for the June exam. I wonder whether I should take the two tests that I have left, or save them for August to evaluate my ability before the August test? And working more on retaking some of the practice tests that I have taken before. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I hate feeling alone and clueless, and that's exactly how I'm feeling as I'm reading (and believing) everything I'm reading online. I would love to have an online buddy to message/chat and bounce ideas off of. Just a little about me: I'm older than "my 20's". Law will be my 2nd career. I'm hoping to go into Biglaw - Corporate/IP maybe, Health or Healthcare Law maybe. Feeling vulnerable, but is anyone looking for the same/similar?

Had a general question about overall LSAT strategy... I took the April LSAT flex for the first time and had tech glitches / proctor u problems that really created severe test anxiety for me (had to reschedule once, waited for hours on the day I actually had to take due to a tech glitch, proctor interrupted me etc). I got in the lower 160s (had been PTing 167 - 174)

In preparation for that test, I had done almost all of the PTs in the 60s - 80s starting with my studing in Jan 2021, and unfortunately feel like I had burned through the most recent PTs. To prepare for the June test, I've been doing PTs in the 50s which were totally new for me and redoing tests I had taken 5 - 6 months ago (so I've seen them, but its been awhile). I got a 177 on a test in the 50s that I had never done, and have been getting between 169 - 177 on the rest of the 7 tests I've taken post April Flex (although again, some I had done months ago and some were totally new tests to me).

I am still really anxious given I feel like I can take this 2-3 times at most for the T-14... am I better off waiting until I am consistently breaking 175? How will I know when I'm prepared given I still feel like I fluctuate? I was planning on applying to a junior year deferral program which is why I am aiming for June, but if I didn't do that I definitely want to work 1-2 years post grad (am entering my senior year). If I don't take the June test the earliest test I could take would be next fall (and will be working full time this summer so likely will take 3 months off). Am I better off taking a few months off so I forget the more recent PTs or is it dumb to lose my momentum and I should take the June test given where I'm at now (with the caveat that the higher scores are either on tests in the 50s or tests I'm redoing).

Hi all, looking to apply for Fall 2022 and looking for some sort of advice or maybe someone who's gone through something similar.

I've been studying for the LSAT for almooooost a year and I signed up for December 2020, April 2021 and decided to push my test to June coming up. My reasons for pushing the past two times was because I had not reached my goal score of 150. I met that goal in April but by April my new goal score was 155 so I pushed it until June. I'm currently at a 155 plateau and now my new goal score is 160. I'm considering pushing it until October. I feel a lot of guilt for pushing and so I can't decide whether or not to take it in June and then again in October. June would be my third time and October would make it my forth time. My reasoning for June is bad, it's the last flex and it's more curiosity and the fact that it's shorter.

I know this depends on the school and some of the schools that I am looking at take the highest score so technically taking it a fourth time with improvements wouldn't be an issue?

My schools are Drexel law, Temple law, Upenn law (reach), Rutgers, really they're all reach schools in my eyes because law school haha. Any advice? Thank you.

I have a 3.5 GPA and graduated with honors if that's any help. I know the other parts of my application are super important too.

I feel like it's a good idea to do all 4 sections to help with stamina since the August will include the experimental section. I know I prefer doing PT's with 3 sections, but I curious as to what everyone is doing.

I signed up for June exam and have an accommodation for unstable internet. I am very worried about the WIFI issue since it stopped working for several minutes at my house once when I took my PT. But I am not sure if hotel will be a better choice since it will be a unfamiliar setting and may have some unforeseeable issue. Any suggestions about this WIFI thing or any recommendations for hotel or place in Boston or MA that will have stable internet for sure?

Many thanks in advance!

Hello, I am having trouble with questions that lose me in terms of understanding the context. I seem to get bogged down in the details of questions in which I don't understand the context, with things like construction or economy for example, and I end up sinking a lot of time in them. How do you keep your mind focused in situations like this, as well as comprehend what the argument is saying?

Hi all! I bought access to the full course, and saw that according to the course syllabus you don't start doing the PT's till you finish all the class material.If i study 40+hrs a week, that means I don't start doing PTs until at least week 7. I know we shouldn't spoil past real exams, but was just wondering has anyone tried incorporating PTs into their studying before finishing all class material? like taking one PT a week just to track progress or get a feel for the entire exam?

will there be an update on the site to reflect the new testing format? 4 sections but the conversion of a flex or is that asking too much lol

Hello everyone. i am looking to hire a LSAT tutor. My highest score is 155 on a PT and 151 on official LSAT. My end goal is 170. Please let me know if we can work together. I work full time and am available to meet virtually anytime after 6pm CST and during the weekends. thank you

Where can we go to see all the notes we have taken on videos?

Hey Guys,

Just for reference, I'm currently a rising junior in college.

I just have a quick question for some advice. I took my first diagnostic maybe ~6 months ago (and scored a 160), and went through a decent amount of the 7sage curriculum, but very rushed (in under a month). I also didn't do any of the reading, just finished LG and LR quickly. I just took another PT, PT51 (flex version), and scored a 166 (-3LG, -3LR, -6RC). My ideal goal score is a ~172, so does it seem reasonable to get there for the next November test?

Also, I'm fine with taking it more than once, which is why I'm planning to take it so early, and I will be abroad in the spring so I can't take it then.

Thanks so much!
