Answering LSAT questions is a lot like finding a boyfriend or girlfriend. I look at all my options and eventually feel an attraction and connection with one of them. I don't have a lot of time, but something in my subconscious draws me to it. But then I get this weird feeling, and I hesitate because I don't want to pick the wrong one and regret my decision later

Hi! I took my diagnostic yesterday and I am hoping to take the August LSAT. I finished the Arguments section, and I am wondering what the practice test timeline should be? When should I take my first PT after my diagnostic? I know 7sage says to not take more than 1-2 PTs a week, but when should you begin taking them regularly?

Feature Requests

I wasn't sure where the best place to put this would be, but I've been using this platform for a couple of days now, and there are some features that would smooth the rough edges of my experience:

  • Create drills from incorrectly answered questions from practice tests and other drills
  • There is already a feature that lets you create drills from questions you answered incorrectly the last time you saw them, but after completing those drills and getting those questions correct, they disappear from that list.

    After taking some practice tests, I think it would be useful to be able to create drills from a bank of questions you specifically got wrong on those practice tests.

  • Create drills while keeping certain tests "clean" for practice tests
  • I still have months of studying left to do, and I would like to be able to set aside let's say 5-10 practice tests, so that when I take them, I have never seen a single question on that test before.

  • Better navigation with the browser history API
  • I like the web app in general, but I find using the back button on my browser does not navigate me inuitively.

    To give an example of behavior I expect:

    If you go to google maps, search for a location, then click the location, it brings up some info about that location. If you then click the back button in your browser, that info goes away. If you click the back button a second time, it undoes your search.

    The back button nowadays is used more for navigating between states than simply navigating between different web pages.

    How to Start Again

    Hi!

    I've been studying on and off for the LSAT since March 2023 and have applied twice but haven't gotten in anywhere. I stopped studying early this year around January but I'm starting again soon. The only program I've used is 7sage but I'm starting to think maybe that's what's keeping my score in the range of 50-160. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or other resources I should use/pair up with the 7sage curriculum to boost my score for when I write the test again. Thank you!

    I just finished my second year of law school, and it's been an okay experience. I found the LSAT more enjoyable, and the people I met during my preparation were amazing study partners. We had so many great study sessions over Zoom, which were a lot of fun. I really miss you, my study buddies! I hope your law school experience turns out to be as rewarding as your journey with the LSAT!

    So, if you are studying for the LSAT now, be sure to enjoy the LSAT and make the most of your time with your friends. Study together as much as you can.

    Hello,

    Has anyone experienced large losses in time when taking 7Sage's practice test? For context, I am losing large chunks of time, some 10+ minutes, while taking sections on the practice test. Additionally, I'm currently testing with time and a half.

    I'd love to hear if anyone is experiencing similar problems or has found a solution. I'd hate to leave the platform for one that functions properly. I've had a positive experience with 7Sage so far, but this is negatively impacting me on exams.

    I have a question regarding Conjunction and Disjunction when they’re present in the sufficient and/or necessary condition.

    I know “and” does not split in the sufficient condition and does split in the necessary condition and vice versa for "or" statements.

    Does that mean if a statement says “A and B -> C” that we need both A and B to be present to trigger the necessary condition? Or 1 of them alone would be enough to trigger.

    Conversely, if it said “A -> B and C”, does A being present mean both B and C must be present together as a consequence? Or one can be present without the other?

    Thank you for taking the time to respond.

    All over the place

    Gearing up for the June LSAT and have been consistently gettin 170+ for the past 3-4 tests, highest being 175. It felt really good seeing that score and I felt pretty confident as I was taking it. This past test I took, there definitely were some harder RC passages and what I thought were 4-5 star LR questions in the first 10 questions of each section (which I know can happen but still threw me off) and to get to the top of Mt. Whatsthepoint, I ended up getting a 162, which I knew taking it, it was going to be not as good as the others, but its so demoralizing seeing that sink so far down, and checking the questions, seeing that I choked on some layups really gets to me. Just when I thought I was done making the same stupid mistakes I go and do it all over again and again. I thought I was really starting to improve until this happened and completely altered by perception of how well I think I'll be able to do on the June test (aiming for a 166-171). Would really appreciate any advice/words of encouragement on how to get over this.

    Slipping :/

    I just wanted to take a moment to share where I’m at and see if anyone has any thoughts or advice. I've been studying for the LSAT since last August, and I'm planning to take the official test in June. A few weeks ago, I hit a personal milestone and scored a 179 on a timed prep test. It felt surreal because I honestly never expected to see a number like that when I first started studying, and I was really proud of my progress.

    That said, things have gone downhill lately. Since that high point, my practice tests and drills have been slipping quite a bit. I'm starting to make mistakes I thought I had moved past long ago, and it's been frustrating to see my performance dip, especially this close to the test date. I know fluctuations are normal, but it’s starting to feel like I’m moving backwards rather than improving.

    I have 9 full PTs left and a few weeks to go, but I’m feeling a bit lost with how to make the most of this time. Every practice session lately feels like I’m either going in circles or getting worse, and it's hard not to feel discouraged.

    I’m not expecting to replicate that 179 on test day, but I’d love to feel a bit more consistent and confident by June. Has anyone else gone through something similar, or have any suggestions for how to bounce back from a slump like this?

    Thanks so much for reading! Hope we can all crush it :)

    Wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I have noticed that I get a far greater proportion of 4/5 level difficulty questions right while missing a lot of 2/3 level qs. This is mostly for LR!!

    Most of my PTs have been mid-high 170s. I always BR and take diligent notes about why I got something wrong and I think I may somehow just still be falling for traps?? Or alternatively drifting through questions I can tell are on the easier side rather than really focusing?

    But I don't know how to stop. Would love any advice if someone else has dealt with a similar situation!!

    Drilling

    I'm new to 7sage. My question is, when should I first start drilling? Right now, I'm on the foundations module and just started the arguments section. Also, for drilling there are so many different question categories to choose from. How did you guys select yours? If someone could just explain when and how to drill I'd really appreciate it!

    Hi,

    can someone explain why certain lessons are marked on 7sage as optional? I just started the core curriculum. I saw that the first 'optional' one was a cute story/ anecdote and skipping would be fine as it had no bearing on understanding content, but now I'm at the second optional lesson entitled ' For, since, because' and IM confused why it says optional. Does it cover it alter? is it not necessary for LSAT? I'm going to listen to it, but its throwing me off and if someone can please explain why its marked that way it would help.

    Thanks!

    PT145 S2 Q24 "Tariffs on particular products tend to protect the small percentage of the population that works in industries that make those products while hurting everyone else through higher costs. Polls show that in fact most people oppose such tariffs. So politicians would be more likely to be reelected if they voted against these tariffs."

    Wow. Just wow. LSAT writers having their Simpsons arc predicting the future from all the way back in PT145!!! Let's get some votes against tariffs like the stim says! Regardless of your opinion on the tariff situation, I think this is the most relevant LSAT question to current events I've seen in my time studying.

    Out of curiosity, are any other Alaskans taking the June LSAT? I'm always seeing the DC/NY/Cali study groups, but the non-contiguous US is woefully underrepresented.

    Hi. I almost always find that I take twice the amount of time 7sage predicts I'll need or more to truly absorb the lessons, and I need significant breaks in-between to decompress. I thought I would be able to get through the entire course quickly in the beginning, but it got difficult as it started delving into logical reasoning. I find myself feeling lucky to get through 5-15 lessons a day. How many lessons does everyone try to do each day?

    Delaying Until August LSAT

    Currently, I’m signed up for the June LSAT but am worried that I am rushing into it. I took the February LSAT and got a 160. Since then, I went back to the basics, did some studying and scored a 168 on my first PT back. However, after that I scored a 160 and a 161 and I am worried that I might be “wasting” an LSAT by doing it in June since I don’t want to take more than 3 LSATs and am considering taking it in August.

    Here are roughly my pros and cons:

    June

    Pros: (1) would allow me to start on my applications while I wait for score, (2) would be earlier enough to allow me to prepare for the September or October one if I needed to retake, and (3) many of the errors I am making now are errors that I pick up on blind review / can increase as I get my stamina back up.

    Cons: (1) potential to not increase much (wasting my second attempt) and (2) only one month more of studying to get to a consistently higher score.

    August

    Pros: (1) two more months of studying and potential to get more consistent, and (2) can help with confidence

    Cons: (1) would limit me to taking October since I think September would be too soon (thus, applying later) (2) summer gets more complicated and I’m worried that studying might get more inconsistent, (3) probs will dedicate less time to applications.

    Appreciate any thoughts and considerations!!

    I've been going through the PT'S sequentially since pt 36. Got my best score on the last one I took which was pt64 and then yesterday i took pt 65. What was that!? Two 5star rc passages, extremely unusual lr questions, it was a nightmare. Did anyone else take this pt and halfway through felt like they've never taken a pt before?

    I have an accommodation to not have the experimental on my test (much longer story). I’ve just been doing PTs and immediately turning in the experimental part so it marks it all as wrong. However, this means my analytics are very warped because I thinks I just keep missing a section. Is there a way to exclude these from the analysis?

    Thanks!
