Congrats to everyone receiving their scores and no matter what, we made it through! I also received my score today but I am a little bummed because I wanted a higher score. I wanted to come on here because I don't really know what to do. I got a 161 and I have a 3.88 gpa, my top school is BU and I am below their median but scholarship money is something I really need. However, I did some googling and saw that people were accepted and offered money with my similar stats. Should I go through this all again by taking the Jan Lsat or should I take my chances?

First PT since the Nov test. Run up to the test was 174, 169, 172, 171... please baby jesus let me have hit this stride before the test.

Hi guys, I finished CC and I've started taking PTs about 2 week ago. I noticed that in order to keep up with the study schedule, I sometimes only have 1 day between PTs. I would like to have more time to review- i.e. go back to certain CC lessons to review my weak points but since I usually only had 1 day in between PTs, it's really hard for me to have time to review.

I'm worried that if I keep trying to keep up with the study schedule and take all the PTs, I will end up running out of PTs while not really having enough time to review my weak spots. I really don't want to waste PTs. What should I do? Should I still try to keep up with the study schedule at this point? Or should I try to space it out so that I have time to review?

Fyi, I'm planning to take the April 2021 test.

Thank you all in advance for your help :')

I've taken the LSAT-flex twice. I already have one recent writing sample on file and I'm happy with it.

Still, is there any benefit to completing a second? Does anyone know if schools, on average, have a preference for one or more samples?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hey y'all, I am curious if anyone has any guesses as to whether the LSAT will ever return to in-person testing. I had a horrible experience with the LSAT-Flex in October, and I cannot guarantee that I will not face the same issues in the January, February or April-Flex. What do you think?

Please share any blogs/podcasts/etc. you came across that address this question - I would really appreciate it!

Hello everyone I started studying for the LSAT at the beginning of this month. Since I don't work I have been completing 25-30 hours of 7sage core curriculum which usually takes longer than that. I will be starting a new job and I will be working from home starting December. The fellowship is closely aligned to my interests in Environmental Law. But I will be having less time to study now. I have ADHD so I feel like the LSAT flex gives me an advantage since having to take the test in a room with other people distracts me a lot and would have an effect on my score. If I have to push my testing date and application cycle then I will. But I would just like input in how many hours I should be doing now but still be on track to hopefully take the flex next year. Or study schedules that have worked for you while working full time?

Like in June or August?

Sure it is uncertain right now but what do you guys think and why?

Dear 7sage,

Recently, I have been taking a lot of sections to drill some of my weaknesses. I just wish you would have a separate analytics system where I can insert problem sets I have done. I understand looking at tests, but I would argue that getting to the nitty gritty of analytics within section types means I can tailor more of my effort towards a given area. I do not want to have to take a test every time I am looking for my LR weaknesses, nor write down over 150+ questions and create my own trends. This is because your version and visualization of analytics truly allows me to see where I should focus my time at. Please try to do this with problem sets too!

I'm slowly coming to grips with the fact that I may simply not be ready to apply to law school this cycle based on my LSAT prep progress. So I'm starting to map out a game plan for the fall 2022 cycle, but am hitting a wall in not being able to determine what the available test dates are beyond April. Is that information published anywhere?

Failing that, do we have good reason to expect they will try to offer 6 or 7 tests like in 2018 and 2019, respectively? And so maybe we can look to those years as a model for what months the test will probably be offered?

So I'm about halfway through my RC section, when my screen goes completely blank. I'm thinking "what just happened?". I reach out to my proctor -- they say something along the lines of "just reconnect". I refresh the page and it reconnects. I've lost time. I ask my proctor for time back and they shoot back "continue".I try to collect myself and deal with the situation but it definately threw me off and I was super nervous moving forward and that was my very first seciton.

I can't decide if i should file a complaint with LSAC. It's due tomorrow but it puts a hold on your score and i need to see my score to decide if i should do the December lsat. Does anyone know what they usually offer as a remedy? Please advise what I should do

How long does it take for LSAC to process the writing samples? I took the November exam and the earliest I can take it is Friday and I am worried I wont get my score back on time. Not the end of the world I guess, just curious if others have had a quick turnaround

To those who are still working through things right now, let me just say, 7sage is worth it. I started studying on my own (without 7sage, just using the free Khan Academy program) in May. I took the July test and went from a 156 cold to a 164, but I'm interested in T10 schools. I did 7sage and made it through the whole core curriculum from August-September, including 20+ PT's. I got a 171 on the October test. This program really works. I was a bit all over the place on my PT's - with a few 178's and a few low 170's, as well as a few 168-9's. Don't be discouraged, just keep working at it.

I also have to say the Admissions info is super helpful - I only did the free course, but it's definitely worth a look!

Hello, I have posted a separate discussion post last night about my struggle with improving my score over the past 6 months, but I’m gearing this post more to materials that have helped people. After this amount of time I am familiar with the question types and patterns of subject matter that is on the exam and strategies on how to solve some of these questions. I am familiar with all of the popular and well-rated companies such as Powerscore and LSAT Demon, and I read the LSAT Trainer in full taking handwritten notes throughout the whole book. I have the LG Powerscore bible which I plan to get started on. With all of that said, have people found the curriculum for 7Sage effective in improving their score? I’m only about 5% in. What parts of 7Sage have helped you the most? I find the explanations to be helpful but I’m not sure that they actually help me improve my score. Does anyone recommend any materials for drilling problems such as the 5 lb. Manhattan Prep LSAT Drill book? Please let me know what your thoughts are on what specifically has helped you to improve your score; I don’t need anything introductory as again I am very familiar with the exam, as I’ve taken about 15 PT’s so far. Thank you! :)

Is there any way to retake a PT on 7sage's digital platform without deleting the previous test? I'm running out of material and want to revisit my oldest PT's without losing the analytics. Thank you

I'm wondering when this year's tests will get released- hoping that I can work through them before the January 2021 lsat!

I usually scored in the 169-172 range until the 70s. After moving into the 70s, my scores have dropped a bit. The wording and the difficulty seem different. Is it normal to see a score drop? Help! Freaking out before Jan test 😭

Does anyone know where we can access several sample writing prompts? (Besides the pediatrician and BLZ examples?)

let me give you some context before I ask you questions. I have been studying since early-mid August until now, but I really started studying in October. I have taken 4 practice tests and have only BR'd two of them. I have done multiple LR sections. I am naturally good at LG. Anyways, I take PT 54 and make a 152....my freaking diagnostic score....after all this studying. Then, I take a 1 day break and BR. My BR was a 167, but here is the weird thing. I remember on this 1st try for PT 54 I spent so much time thinking about answer choices, passages, ect. and I really think that is, in part, one of the biggest factors to why I am missing so many questions on the real timed exam. Timing isn't an issue either, in fact, in the BR I used a different strategy to approaching the passages, where I cared more to understand the structure of the passage rather than the content. In BR for LR, I trusted my gut on the answer choices and critiqued the wrong choices AFTER picking a right one (I usually critique AC before choosing a right one). Obviously if in my critique I think something is right then I analyze my 1st pick. All in all, I went from -13 RC -9 LR and -5 LG to -7 RC -2 LR and -1 LG.

Can someone explain if my though process is right on this? Do I simply need to practice, understand the material, and trust my instinct more? In BR the 1st AC I chose usually looks blatantly wrong so why doesn't this happen when I am actually taking the test?

I messed up on my LG section when I had a computer issue. By the time I got it working again, the timer had run down to the end. I really don't want to lose the data for how long the questions take or get a false low score by not finishing in time. I know you can delete the entire test and go again, but can you just delete a section and restart it?

Hello all,

I'm taking the LSAT in January and am worried that I'm burnt out already. I've studied really hard since late August, 35-40 hours a week. Last week and the week before, I took 5-6 prep tests and got my score goals (164 +) on all of them. This week, after two days off, I've attempted to start studying again but I feel burnt out. Given that I'm still two months out, should I focus more on individual sections or attempt to take full length tests? Today, I got 60 percent through a prep-test but literally had no motivation to finish.

What do you guys think? Do you have any good solutions for burnout?

Does the writing section actually take 3 weeks to process with LSAC?

Hey guys, I just finished the LSAT writing portion and I am freaking out a bit. I forgot to show my scratch paper during my video of my desk and room. But right when the exam started I realized I hadn't shown it yet, so I held it up and showed both sides right before I started. Do you guys think that is okay? Should I contact LSAC? I am worried they will throw out my writing and make me do it again. Let me know what you think! #Help!!

Hello! I've been studying since July 2019 and I've taken lots of full practice tests and timed sections. I only have PTs 85, 88, 89 as brand new exams I've never seen. The rest of the exams since PT 40 I've completed or done a timed section (or multiple) at some time. What should I do? I'm taking the exam in January and I don't know how I should proceed with such few full PTs.

will LSAC reset my writing if I accidentally opened on Safari or am I screwed? I JUST had the writing reset (after opening it correctly and doing EVERYTHING right I was kicked out due to the proctor's server error) and I am worried they won't reset it again due to my own error. I made a mistake just out of stress and wanting to get it done in a timely fashion after the super frustrating PSI error and I am now just panicking...... I sent LSAC an online request but am considering also calling them first thing in the morning and begging for forgiveness.......
