Hi,

Is there a study guide that lists all the questions on the LSAT and their type. When I answer those LSAT questions, some of the questions can be confusing and I don't know what they are asking. For instance, I did a MSS question but I thought it was a Most Sufficient Question. If I had known it was a MSS question, I would have chosen the right answer choice. If there are resources on that, please let me know.

I'm confused as to why people think it is easy. The LG and LR was definitely easier than normal but I think the RC made up for the lack of difficulty. I got right around my average score. I'm not sure why people think it's an easy test. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

LR Tutoring

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but I don't know how to go about finding a good tutor online. The thing is, I'm currently in Asia right now so I have to take the time difference into account. Anyway, if you have any recommendations, please let me know! Thank you.

Hi 7Sage Admin. I just wanted to make a couple of suggestions for the user interface, which I think would make the website a lot easier to use.

  • When using the text filter on the problem set, the webpage often freezes up after every single keystroke because it starts filtering with every single character. This can get quite frustrating. I think it would be a lot nicer if you had the option to begin filtering only after you press enter, or something like that.
  • Add an option on the create a problem set page to filter the problem set by exam, section and question. I think that perhaps a dropdown filter for each category would be useful.
  • It would be really nice if you could create a problem set straight from the "Review Results" view page. Right now we are able to pin questions from the results view. I think it would be super useful if we are able to select questions from this view and then make a problem set from our selected questions.
  • Thanks!

    Hey Guys. I went through Ellen Cassidy's the Loophole first. When I was going through 7sage's course, I skipped the LR section as it was already covered in the Loophole. I am wondering whether that was a good idea. Is the 7Sage LR section skippable if you have already gone through the Loophole? Should I go over the 7Sage LR section as well?

    Progress is possible!

    I started out last May taking an untimed Pt and scoring a 136. I gained hope when I heard of the Loophole book, ordered it, and studied “seriously” from Sept till the Nov Lsat. I scored a 150, which is a miracle in and of itself. I also studied LG for a week and a half using Powerscore. I had been Pt at 155 so I signed up for April, and found 7Sage. Lord almighty I wish I had found it last May! It’s been a godsend just for the explanation videos alone. I started getting 157s so felt good about retaking in April but I got a wicked sinus infection (thanks allergies!) & could barely focus the day of the test. I got a 153, which is a 12% improvement in rank so I’m okay with the score. However, I know I can do better. I didn’t study at all during the 3week wait for the score then tried Pt 78 and 81 this week. I just got a 159 for the first time ever! I’m going to crush my 3rd and finally Lsat, and just wanted to provide some encouragement for me. If you’re on the fence about 7Sage JUST DO IT and believe in yourself.

    Also, it’s worth it to postpone till fall 2022 if that means a full merit scholarship right?! My study pace is slow because my hubs is active duty & we have a 3 and 6 year old so studying more than 2-3 hrs a few times a week just isn’t possible. I’m pretty sure the school I want to attend is going to accept me as is but I really don’t want to pay for law school after paying for two masters 😆

    Time slots for June test

    Hello,

    I am scheduled to take the June test and I wanted to know when I should be doing my practice PTs. I know you are supposed to do it at the same time you would take the actual test and I know you get to choose a couple weeks before your test when you do the test. what I do not know, is when the time slots actually are are. What are the later available time slots? Thank you!

    I'm currently doing PTs for the June LSAT-flex and am wondering whether to print them or simply do them online. I know it is best to recreate the testing atmosphere (doing them online), but I feel like it may be better to initially do a few of them on paper and refine the skills we were taught that way. Does anyone have advice?

    Hello Everyone,

    I wanted some insight, feedback or ideas that have helped you or someone you may know improve in their LSAT journey. I began studying for the LSAT during undergrad. Scored a 137 on July 2020 LSAT Flex while working two jobs with minimal understanding of LG (worst section). Currently, prepping for the June 2021 LSAT Flex since it's the last test I am able to use my LSAC fee waiver on since it expires in July.

    With that being said, I am looking to accomplish a 150+ score. Not a strong test taker at all. My top school is Georgia State and their median is 157, I've seen people getting in with 153+. I have a 3.79 LSAC GPA and a couple softs that will aid admission decision. Currently on PTs scoring 140-144. Average about 8-9 correct on LR/LG.

    What areas should be focused on for improvements? Best way to improve in RC? What are ways of improving that worked for you? Just any helpful ideas on improving LSAT will be heavily appreciated.

    How important are internships?

    Hey guys, I am a junior trying to apply for law schools in 2022. I don't know what should I do for this summer. On the one hand, I feel like I can really improve my LSAT score if I study full time over the summer; on the other hand, I would have no summer internship this year then (but I already had several internships in previous years). I don't know which one is more important, a better LSAT score or a summer internship. I'd like to hear some advice!

    burnout

    2-3 months in and 85 hours done on 7 sage, my momentum is slowing down. I only have 15 more hours of logical reasoning left, however, I am retaining less and not sure if I am improving. I took a 2 week break and this remains true. Should I skip to logic games (somehow looking forward to it). Was originally planning for lsat June but now August seems more realistic. Any tips? #help

    With us all dedicated to the LSAT and my life seemly is all LSAT for the past year.

    I'd like to hear about some of the hobbies/ things you enjoy doing, are doing/will be doing once everything opens back up?

    I liked to go trap shooting with my father before Covid hit. Or going snowmobiling out West in the mountains, even though I broke my leg a few years back that required 8 pins in my leg... I also like to go fishing in the gulf and or just getting out on the water and soaking up the sun. I feel like I haven't had any vitamin D since March 2020, because the LSAT and Covid. I feel like I could just grab a bottle of Sunny D and it absorbs through my skin😂😂

    Hello I am looking for a couple of people to meet 1-3sh times per week to BR together. The last 5 exams i scored between 165-169. I am looking for a few people of similar score level or if you are exceptional at RC (0-4 wrong consistently). My strengths are LG and LR and weakness is RC. I would like the people who join to have their strength as RC and weakness as LG or LR so we can complement each other.

    I'm EST time but anytime from 10amish --- 8pm ish I would be free to zoom/google meeting/facetime. I am taking the June exam and will be using PTs 85, 86, 87, 89, and May2020. And we can also BR games LR Qs you have trouble with and we'll do the same for RC I struggle with that are not from the PTs we BR. I am friendly and like to joke around and keep things lite hearted, but June is the last LSAT for me so I will make sure we stay on track get our work done then joke around/talk everything else.

    DM me or post on here. And I will give my email or cell phone whatever you're comfortable with.

    I have never experienced test anxiety. I kind of love tests and the rituals involved in preparing for them. When I sit down to take a test that I've invested heavily in - a test whose content I am intimately familiar with, a test that has been granted more of my time than any living being that actually loves me - I'm excited and almost entirely at ease. Such was not the case with the April Flex.

    I want to say that the first 2 sections went well. The LR section wasn't too bad and neither was the LG section. But, I lost my shit during the very first question of the last section. None of the AC's seemed correct. I flagged the question and moved on to the next. Same problem. This continued until I was halfway through RC and realized that every question was flagged and unanswered. Though I was later able to get a grip on things and answer all of the questions, I knew that the damage had been done.

    The results released last week indeed confirmed my fears. I scored a 163. (I was averaging 168 for 5 months, achieving a 170/171 here and there.) I went into a bit of a downward spiral. Did I really just waste 5 months? Do I not know how to study? Am I incompetent? I moped, then promptly hired a tutor. My first assignment was to take a PT to assess my current ability, being that I hadn't so much as glanced at any LSAT material since April 12th. So, last evening I took a PT and scored a 173. A neat breakthrough.

    What is to be made of this? I'm not sure. I will say that is it very easy to become discouraged from a poor performance. But one mistake is by no means a condemnation of your future. Chances are, if you're working full-time and studying >20hrs a week for several months as I did, you're burnt out without realizing it. A low score amid a sea of high scores is not evidence of a sudden regression so much as it may be a symptom of mounting anxiety and exhaustion. It was in my case, at least. Consider taking a mental health break. Postpone the exam. Enjoy your hobbies and the outside world.

    Additionally, it is true that the actual test will not feel the same as any PT. The gravity of your performance will likely trigger anxiety in even the most steely of test-takers. There's a reason why LSAC allows only first-time test takers to cancel their score. While we are all different, it may help to manage your expectations for the first LSAT you take. You may do great; you may not. No matter what you score, you will have the chance to get back up and do better the next time now knowing what the experience entails.

    Help.

    What exactly are we supposed to do if we've watched a video explanation of a question and still don't understand parts of the explanation or need more elaboration on a certain part because the video didn't touch on it?

    174-177

    For the 174 people who do a retake, I'm curious to know why you decide to take again. I saw a post of a 174 who was aiming for 177. HYS have a median of 171-173
