hi team, so I need help. I'm going to be applying next cycle- I took the August LSAT and was PTing around 163/4 and got a 161, which I was fine with since I figured I'd retake. I then studied for January and was consistently PTing around 167/8 by this point, took the test and felt GREAT about it, and ended up getting... a 161 again. I was honestly shocked and had a moment but now I'm trying to reevaluate what I should do. I'm leaning toward signing up for the June and not even really studying for it, just refreshing and taking a few practice tests for a few weeks before since I feel like my January test must have been a fluke. Does it look bad to have three LSAT attempts for admissions? and then there's part of me that worries the same thing will happen for this one that happened in January... do I just ride out my score and see what happens with admissions? would love ANY advice!

The problem sets are typically given an allotted time of 30 minutes to complete (to take the problem set, blind review, then review with the answers/JY).

It usually takes me way longer than 30 minutes, typically 1 hour esp. for the level 5 problem sets. I take a long time in blind reviewing to understand every mistake and also during the actual review with JY for anything else I missed.

This can take a toll when I have scheduled to do like 9 problem sets in a day.

Does anyone else deal with this? And if so, how do you deal with this?

Hi everyone! I completed the LSAT Trainer and my highest PT was a 163. I decided to start using 7Sage after hearing good reviews on the program. Since I have prior exposure to the LSAT through the trainer, I am asking for advice on how I should structure my study schedule before the June exam using 7Sage? I'm guessing since I've already done the trainer, I won't need the full range of the program, but I'm not sure exactly where to start.

I wish to get into a US law school in Fall 2022. I will start preparing for the LSAT now snd aim to Give the October 2021 test. My questions are :

  • Is there enough time from today till October 2021 to get ready for LSAT?
  • Is October LSAT score too late to apply to law schools, should i aim for Fall 2023.
  • I am currently working as an attorney in India, and would like to continue the preparation with my work, is that suggested.
  • Please let me know any thoughts any one has. It will really help me decide if taking the October 2021 LSAT reasonable and if aiming for a T-14 law school plausible.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi! Do you all Blind review every test? I’ve found that between working full time while studying, Blind reviewing and then going over correct answers takes a lot of time to do and limits the amount of lessons/PTs I take.

    Do you think it would be okay to just do the Blind Review every other test instead of every test?

    Retaking Old Prep Tests

    Hi everyone,

    I recently finished the CC and took PT 36. I scored a 165 with a blind review score of 169 (I have a target score range of 166-168). However, I previously took this test preparing for the July 2019 exam, and I am wondering if there is any value to retaking exams I took in the summer of 2019? I took around 10 practice exams between PT 36-55 in the summer of 2019 and I am wondering if I should skip retaking these ones.

    For context, although some of the subject matters sounded familiar, I did not remember much else.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello fellow 7sagers,

    I was wondering, if anyone was interested in forming a social/network/support group. The purpose of the group talk about LSAT, law school and even non-law school related topic. We can arrange a time to host each other maybe bi-weekly, monthly, or whenever possible via zoom. Am also hoping that this group will support us through our legal career.

    I wish everyone the very best in their legal journey.

    Here is the link to the group

    You're invited to my new group 'LSAT Social/Network/Support Group' on GroupMe.

    I'm posting in search of a book recommendation from all you good people. Does anyone know of a book that covers different fields of the law, and what kind of work they actually do? Even if we are to narrow our discussion to litigation vs corporate/transactional, how does an aspiring lawyer choose?

    I will offer my own recommendation for "Most Law School Advice is Bullshit". I received it as a gift before taking the LSAT and it changed my whole perspective on this process.

    Shout out to everyone else waiting to hear back on their April 10 test.

    Does anyone know if it's OK to use the grayscale screen setting on your Mac during the LSAT flex? Basically, your screen is in black and white, and I'm not sure if the proctor would see that. I don't have an accommodation; it just makes my eyes feel less strained.

    About two years ago I agreed to be a groomsmen at my friends wedding. I just learned it was rescheduled for Saturday, August 14th...

    Does anyone have any estimates on what day/days the LSAT will be administered based on past test dates. I know this is the first non-flex after the start of the pandemic, does that mean there will be only one test day?

    Any educated guesses would be extremely helpful as I try to plan ahead.

    Are PrepTests from the 90s still good practice for the current exam? I know the test can change a little bit throughout the years, I just don't want to hurt my progress by practicing on questions that won't simulate the real exam. please let me know, thank you.

    Hey, all!

    So, I decided to take the LSAT in June and in August as I read it is better to take it twice and experience the real thing first, then come prepared better the second time. But the problem is that I do not feel I will be entirely ready in June. I have been studying since January, and during the months of Feb/March, it was only sporadic study due to personal/family events. The June test is two months out vs the August four months out.

    So I need your opinion/help. Should I just wait, study harder for the next four months and only take the test once?

    or

    Take it in June first, then in August again, even if I am not ready for the first one?

    How does not doing well on the first then improving for the second affect my record regarding LSAC?

    Any help/advice is much appreciated!

    Title : )

    It's just that people tend to title their discussions, and even question labeling, a bit differently (spacing, etc.) and search results turn out more than I want, so it's not always easy to search for relevant discussions before deciding whether to post my own.

    Beyond this, I think it would be more efficient for us to be able to see all discussions in a single place to evaluate which ones are most helpful. As with the LR Qs that do have video explanations.

    7 sage issues

    My highlight and underling features are not showing up when I go to do problem sets on the site. There is also no option to cross out answer choices or to complete the section early. All of these features were available for me two days ago. Is this happening to anyone else and does anyone know how to fix this?

    Reducing RAM

    Does anyone recommend any applications that can help with reducing RAM? Also, if RAM is slightly over (1-2%), would that significantly impact LSAT Flex? Thanks!

    So I have already finished The Lsat Trainer and took a few PTs. I just got 7sage on April 2, and I have access to it till August 2. I am taking the LSAT in June AND August. However, I don't know if I will have time to get through the entire 7sage core curriculum and take a bunch of practice tests. What should I do? Is it better to make sure i do the full 200+ hours of full curriculum and take less PTs, or are PTs/blind review more effective than the lessons?

    Hey all! Hope everyone is doing well.

    I took the LSAT-Flex in August and during my session my proctor took control of my laptop for a while and did some stuff. I didn't pay attention. Going into law because I can't technology.

    Now, I can't take screenshots with my laptop or use video on Zoom.

    Does anyone know how I fix these issues? I have an 11 year old MacBook Pro.

    Thanks in advance!! (3(/p)

    problem set strategy?

    as you guys move through the problem sets in the CC do you do them timed, blind review, then check? or do you do them all untimed? just trying to figure out the most beneficial strategy. Thanks
