Hey guys, I'm new here but I'm very excited to get started. I've heard so many positive reviews about 7sage and I'm looking forward to getting started with it. I took the Lsat flex in April but didn't get the score I want but now I'm even aiming high with the score I want and I'm pumped. Here's to day 1.

Hi everyone! Does anyone have benchmarks to hit for pacing in each of the sections? At what minute mark should one aim to be at the end of 10 LR questions, 20 questions? At what minute mark should we look to be at the end of the first RC passage and it’s questions, the second, etc? And similarly for games? Of course, it depends on question/passage difficulty, target scores, etc., but benchmarks to aim for would be very helpful. If this has been discussed elsewhere, sorry for the repeat, would someone be able to point me to it? Thank you to the 7Sage community!
Hey Guys!
I took the Feb LSAT and score a 159, which was an underperformance for me.
I'm now PT'ing in the high 160s (my last two PTs were 169 and 168).
My goal score is 170+
Any suggestions on how to maintain momentum to make sure I perform at or above this score?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions :)
I scored 152 on April, 155 in Jan.
So many emotions, so much to process. I had my eyes set on T-14 but I'm feeling really stupid right now.
I'm signed up for June but debating whether I should push it back to Aug.
I wanted to apply in September, however, and I'm not sure how I'll do with the experimental section. I also don't feel very confident about how much I can improve over the next few months. The highest I've scored on timed-PT is 161 with highest BR score of 171.
Currently, I have a 9-5 job at Estate Planning firm that's really laid-back with manageable workload (good culture, people are nice, less hours and stress). This job is 5 minutes commute.
VS
I have job offers from 2 other firms with higher pay that's 20, 40 minute-commute with likely 9-6:30 schedule. Sometimes I'd even have to work weekends in these positions but the work will be more interesting (Personal Injury and other, patent).
I was going to accept one of these offers to build on my resume. I thought it'd be good to show that I've worked in various fields to express interest but it will take my time away from studying for sure.
I guess my questions are:
1. Would Aug LSAT be too late for me to send applications in Mid-September??
2. Do you think I should keep my current job and focus on studying even at the risk of not improving very much? I'd been studying from May 2020 to Present (about 11 months).
If you have any advice they will be greatly appreciated.
I'll spend the rest of the day licking my wounds. Hopefully I'll garner enough strength tomorrow to get back up and start studying again instead of feeling sorry for myself.
Thanks in advance.
Update: Does anyone think that I should take both June and Aug? I'll be taking it 4 times.. Some people say that schools only take the highest if you take it 3 times or less but not otherwise.
Hi everyone,
Just had a major last-minute rearrangement of my tutoring calendar, so I'm copying @canihazJD from a few weeks back and holding impromptu office hours to fill some time.
I'll be around until probably 5/5:30pm Eastern or so (or whenever I feel like stopping). I'll probably be fiddling a bit with my new phone and smartwatch, but I'm happy to talk LSAT while doing it. All are welcome, ask me anything.
Google Meet link (I don't have Zoom premium and don't feel like restarting the call every 40 minutes): DONE!
Lots of good questions and fun conversation. Thanks to everyone that came. I'll try to do this again sometime, hopefully without the last minute emergency cancellation to prompt it. Now go study!
Hello all,
I'm going over weakening questions on CC and just had an idea/thought.
What do you guys think about starting bottom-up when reading the answer choices for the questions? (E-A)
I find a lot of them to be closer to the bottom than to the top so far and it seems to save me a little time.
Thoughts? =o )
Hi,
This may sound like a basic question. I was originally supposed to take the LSAT in April but I rescheduled it to June. With one month away until that test, I don't feel like I am ready and need additional lessons, time, and a tutor. Is it still optional for me to reschedule my test again to August?
Hi there,
I’m currently looking for a tutor to help improve my RC section. My LG and LR are very strong, however, RC seems to constantly be bringing my score down. I’m looking for someone who can teach me effective strategies. Please DM me if you can help :)

Hey 7sage community,
About a month ago, I started off at a 145 diagnostic. 2 weeks ago I was able to get my score up to a 161 on PT 37, but it dropped to a 152 on PT 38 then to 145 on PT 39!
I'm always -5 or less on LG, but I've been getting wrecked on Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension.
Most of the time I can't even follow what the LR passage is saying and mix up the premises and sub-conclusions. On RC I'll get a perfect on one passage, then bomb the next.
Has anyone overcome a similar situation? My goal is 170 but obviously some work needs to be done.
Hello everyone, realistically is it possible to increase reading comprehension practicing the core curriculum? What has been your best strategy for RC? I appreciate any feedback.
PS: Last weekend I got -16 on Logic Games and after taking my test today and studying all last week, I brought it down to -7. Progress !
I know there are a ton of other more pressing things to be anxious about such as the test itself. But I am a first time test taker for the June LSAT and I cannot shake my anxiety about proctor u. Like I’ve spent all this time studying and I feel like some technical issue could derail everything!
Would anyone be able to enlighten me as to what happens if there is a complete technical fail on test day?? Do you then have to wait until the August test to re-take?! Or have they built some re-take days into June to account for this issue? Has Proctor U done anything to improve since the lsat went flex? I’ve read so many comments about proctors stopping the test multiple times, or camera not working, etc. that it freaks me out. thanks!!
Did anyone take LSAT exam on Hot Spot.
This afternoon I entered a rural courthouse out in East Texas and the sheriff's deputy asked me if I had a Bar card. If I'd had one he would have waived me through security check. I heard myself say, "Not yet." That makes me smile. Y'all. These are just hurdles. This damn test (which I think is actually really fun) - just a hurdle. The years of study ahead - hurdles. Passing the Bar exam - a hurdle. At the end of it, I will practice in my small Texas town. And I'll have a Bar card. That inspired me today. We can do this.
Hi everyone,
I wonder if anyone has experienced the loading errors after launching LSAT Writing in PSI secure browser. I've tried for two weeks and yet not been able to even take the ID photo. I've also tried to reset my computer and the eligibility but it remains the same.
Most unfortunately, I couldn't get in touch with the 24/7 technical support line from China. And the LASC representatives only operate during normal business hour in ET. :( Even if they do, I have to wait up to 20min to get through. The email gets no reply either. I literally has sought all possible means /sad/tired/frustrated. Since I urgently need the April score, any of your advice/experiences would be appreciated. Thank you!!
I started my journey a few months ago. started with he LSAT trainer and couldn't read anymore and then switch to 7sage. I feel I need something different, that does not involved reading. I already have enough reading with my regular school coursework. any tips, sites that are not that expensive? I looked into Princetown, they are asking for $1,500.00 for live classes, which seems a bit expensive for me, and would give it a try if I don't score well on my June exam, for which am still scoring well below average. :( any other ideas would be helpful, thanks
Please make it so when I click the eye to remove what I picked as my answer, that I can get another option to not see what the correct answer is/wrong answer was and the percentages of what people picked. I like to go over past exams with a tutor and since I have already answered them. 7Sage PTs already show what is correct, so it is hard to make new assumptions or explain why I think it is wrong or right when the answer is staring right at me, so my mind already goes to what is correct. I know that LSAT Demon offers this option and offers the option to turn off the highlights you have made with a button after the exam is done as well. If you actually end up doing this, thank you!!
Hello all,
I couldn't find any info in the forums but it's really helpful for me to read out loud during RC and talk to myself during LR. Normally I stop myself from doing this because you obv can't during the normal LSAT. BUT now that it's online and in my home I'm assuming I can do this? Just wanted to double check that the proctor ppl won't flag me for it before I get used to it.
Thank you!
I was rather late to the "I think I want to go to law school" train, and I graduate in the spring of 2022, meaning I am looking to apply for this coming cycle. I have a fantastic GPA but am PTing around a 155 atm. Still fortunate for all of the testing my highschool forced me to do.
I am just a bit worried about what test I should take. I worry that signing up to take June is a bit of an overkill, and that I would be best just working hard for my best score in August. BUT that will have been my first time, and on the off chance I BOMB the August test and need to retake it, I don't know how trying to retake the LSAT in October will go when the semester is in full swing. Furthermore, is that enough time to get my applications in early and set? I am aiming to have every application in before thanksgiving. Thankful for any advice!
I just purchased 7Sage course. I cannot seem to get access to the videos or they don't appear on the lessons. Can someone please advise.
Thank you
Sunny
Hi everyone,
I'm new to 7sage. I completed the Blueprint course but ended up with a 160 on the April Flex. My goal is to score 167+ in August. I'm looking for some advice about how to best use 7sage... should i just go through all the core curriculum even though I know the basics? Do I just focus on the harder question types? Thanks!!
So the LSAT April results are out and I scored a 166 - as an int'l student, should I try applying? Or is it better if I continue on to June? Advice/suggestions are welcome!

Hi!
I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to take the June LSAT since there's no experimental, or suck it up and take the Aug or Oct tests when I will be more prepared and ready.
I initially intended to take the Aug LSAT and had structured my course study to do so, but with the announcement of the experimental returning after June, I want to be most efficient in my testing and will grind especially hard if and only if it's worth it to not take the experimental.
Thoughts from people who have taken the experimental and the og test? Preference to one or the other? Reasons?
I just scored 172 on PT69. Yay! It's my first time to break into the 170s! But....I spent 12.5 minutes on 7 questions that I got wrong. (5 of them were RC) How do you spot questions worth skipping? If I could have spent 10 extra minutes on just two of those questions, I might have been able to get them.
Thanks!
