Hi. I am taking the August LSAT for the first time. I am studying strictly with 7sage. Having no background in the LSAT I am working my way down in the 7sage curriculum from LR to RC. The study schedule made for my by 7sage says I should be dedicating 50 hours a week to core based on my test date but that is not feasible for me. I am still taking three college classes and working full time. I started studying 3 weeks ago and I am only 14% done with the core. I do not want to spend all my time on my core and not being able to take any practice tests. But I need to to learn the material. I got a 138 on my cold diagnostic without any prior LSAT studying and my goal is 160 by August. I try to spend 2-3 hours on core everyday. I feel like the curriculum is very in depth and I am not touching all 3 sections LR LG RC. I wont get to LG and RC until the very end of the curriculum and it is recommended to go through it in order. Not sure what to do and how to fix my studying style. Any suggestions

PT M20. Note: this test drew from the June and October '19 tests. Similar released PTs will be in the 87-89 range.

All scoring levels welcome.

Requirements:

We can also explore individual issues, general LSAT strategies, and become needlessly dramatic about the new T14 rankings.

Link to the meeting will be in this post. Venue TBD as I don't have one of those fancy school Zoom accounts. As of right now, default will probably be a google meeting so we won't have a time limit. If anyone has a school Zoom and is willing to host let me know!

Hi, I took a long break for a year after the LSAT-flex was announced. I'm planning to restart studying again and was wondering if the LSAT-flex has more advantages to take than the in-person LSAT? I know the in-person LSAT probably won't happen until at least October... any advice is much appreciated. I do have a surface pro tablet PC that I use, so the tech part won't be a problem. Thank you!

As the title says the sign up begins at Noon Thursday April 1st. Plus they are adding a new feature where you can 'cross' off the Answer choices you don't want to see. It looks like it is the exact same as when you click the "x" on the ACs on 7Sage but instead of it being a "x" it is a "eye ball" looking thing.

Can anyone tells me how they keep their motivation going for the LSAT and how they study for the test.

I've had someone mention this to me in passing and it was just mentioned in another 7Sage discussion forum:

"PT M20. Note: this test drew from the June and October '19 tests. Similar released PTs will be in the 87-89 range."

I think I've also heard this on an LSAT podcast episode. Can someone direct me to a resource where I can learn more about this? And as a follow-up, do we know what the case will be for April and June tests? Any help or guidance would be really really appreciated, thanks 🙏

so i was converting my answers from a preptest on LawHub on here to use the analytics and noticed question 27 for the reading comp passage is missing from PT 86 on here. on lawhub it goes to 27, on here it goes to 26. does anyone know why?

As the great Gucci Mane once said.... "Nobody cares. Work harder!"

Currently feeling lack of motivation to study.. nothing does the trick like a little Gucci. Hope this inspires some of you peeps too.

Back to studying I go. :P

Hi!! I have just begun hitting the PT's the last 2-3 weeks and have been scoring 159-163. I am aiming for a 160+ on test day (in June) but would like to consistently PT in mid 160s just for wiggle room. Is this too much to ask/an unrealistic expectation? I know I have improvement possible on logic games for sure- I'm trying to perfect them which will greatly raise my score. RC is my strongest subject, usually -3 or -4. LR kind of jumps around (-8 to as low as -3), but I feel like with the exposure to PT's I have gotten more comfortable with LR. Plus drilling some commonly missed problem types on the side. Anyways, all in all just wanted to see if PT around 164-165 (even consistently at 163) is an unrealistic goal. My highest has been a 163, but my most common score has been a 160. I'm just cruising from now until June test day about 4 PT's a week with the other days being LG drilling for the most part. I am a full time student finishing up my junior year of undergrad but this hasn't gotten in the way of my study plans due to everything being online. Lol... longer post than anticipated but just want to see everyone's thoughts. Thanks in advance!! Good luck to all my fellow peeps looking to write in June :)

The lsac website says tbd - week of the 14th. Can you assume you will be testing on Saturday the 14th or Sunday the 15th? When will the official date come out?

If you are taking a problem set or PT on your computer through 7Sage, is there a way to flag a question that you want to blind review later on? I don't have a printer at home, and I think it's better for me to have scrap paper and do the problem sets/PTs on my computer screen to better simulate real test conditions anyways.

Hi,

Here is some basic info of me: I took two lsat's two years ago and cancelled them. It was so stupid to do that but I was like a nuts and know nothing about lsat. I took another two lsat last year, one for 150, one for 157. I started studying since October last year. My current pt score (using LSAC Lawhub) is around 170, sometimes higher sometimes lower.

I registered lsat in June. Recently, I talked with some people in this boat, read some related articles. All said that I shouldn't take more than five times. So this would be my last chance to get a fine score.

So I wonder if anyone had experiences taking more than five times? Does that affect admission a lot?

If not taking June, My options are August or October. I feel that October is a little bit late. And June is the last flex test, meaning less materials, less pressure?

Just want to talk with someone who had this issue.

Thanks!

yes.

Hey everyone - I started studying for the LSAT in January and have been putting in 10-20 hours a week. I first began with Mike Kim's LSAT trainer and finished that curriculum by Mid February. I've taken 2 PT's since starting to study, and only saw two points of improvement after about 8 weeks of studying. I then decided to switch to 7 sage in late Feb. I started the curriculum from the beginning and have only been focusing on LR. I just took my first timed section after getting through the majority of the 7sage LR curriculum, and still have THE SAME SCORE as my last full LR section I took in Feb. My Blind review score was a lot better than the timed take of the section, but I'm not sure why the gains I'm making on BR aren't reflecting in my test taking.

I'm getting really discouraged that I can't improve, and that maybe I should give up on this path altogether. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this too early to be getting disappointed? This marks about 12 weeks of studying, and my original hope is to take the test in August.

Looking for someone to meet with twice a week to review LR and a bit of RC (85%/15%). Please let me know if anyone can help me with this.

Thank you.

I would like to take a few PTs without a time constraint just yet, however I don't see this as an option in the timing settings. What is the solution to this?

Hi, does anyone know how accurate the score conversion from the PTs (when simulating flex) on this site are to the actual flex exam? I only ask because each time I take a practice test and simulate the flex, I score in my preferred range or score somewhat higher. But when I took the exam in October and in January, my actual test scores were 10-13+ LOWER than my usual score on ANY PT.

I don't feel like I do anything different during the real exam vs. a practice test but of course it could just be me choking under the pressure. If that is the case, does anyone have any tips for test day nerves? Preparing again for April 10 and not feeling too confident because I don’t know whether I can even trust my PT progress at this point...

I'm looking to take the LSAT-flex in June, but have in the back of my mind that I may need to retake in October. My last few PTs, I have NOT been simulating flex and taking all 4 sections, but not doing a 5th simulated experimental section. My logic is that if I practice longer mental endurance than I need, the flex will be a little bit easier. That being said, with one less LR section on the real exam, I'm wondering if my flex score would be higher or lower than how I'm doing on the full 4 sections.

How are other people going about their PTs these days?

I took my first diagnostic LSAT around April of 2020 and scored a 161, with LG as my weakest section by far (only got all the way through one game). During the school year I work and go to school full time, and I have the summers off. I used last summer to take the Test Masters course, but by the end I had only improved my score by two points, mostly because I am really slow at LG and I’m not able to get through the games in time, though my other sections are generally good (normally miss about 3 on RC, 3-6 on LR). I got a 7Sage subscription and I have been studying on and off since then, and I just took my first practice test since the fall and scored a 160 :( My highest practice test to date is a 164 with a 174 blind review score, and I’m discouraged I dropped from that point. I mainly am just really struggling with Logic Games, and even though I’ve done a million of them I am still very slow, which is the main thing holding my score back.

I also had some bad things happen in my personal life during undergraduate that resulted in a low undergraduate GPA (though I’m currently enrolled in a Master program at an Ivy with a 3.9 GPA, and I have good softs like published research in a prestigious journal, lots of leadership positions etc.), so I feel pretty discouraged because I know I need to knock the LSAT out of the park to compensate, and because my diagnostic was relatively high I thought I could do it but now I'm losing hope. I’m also discouraged because I seem stuck so stubbornly around 160 and I just feel like I am not getting any faster at LG. Any advice/encouragement is welcome. Thanks in advance!

Hello ,

I wanted to get some feedback about possible ways to increase in LG/LR or overall LSAT score. I took the LSAT on July 2020 and scored a 137 while working two jobs- With this score, I did not use any of my scratch sheet and did not know how to even properly diagram the games. Sadly. I was lost the entire time. I recently graduated undergrad December 2020. Currently enrolled in a Masters program. My target score is 150+ and I have a 3.79 LSAC CAS GPA. I am focusing much more on improving in games. I am eager to get the LSAT out the way this second time with my LSAC waiver.

My top schools are: Emory, Georgia State and Univ. of Miami.

What's the best way to see gains? Best practices that helped you improve your scores. I would love to go from a 137 in a 150 range.

Any advice is appreciated sincerely. Thank you.

Can anyone recommend a good tutor to break through around 167-169 to the 170+ range? can't seem to break through a plateau on RC, and a couple LR Q types. LG is usually somewhere between -1 to -3.

Hello guys! I am taking the LSAT for the first time in August. I started studying March 18 and according to the 7sage study schedule I should be putting in 40-50 hours a week. However I work full time and I am finding it rather difficult to get through the assigned coursework weekly. I am also going through the course in order and I feel like I am not covering all the sections RC LR AR enough. The first few weeks are mostly LR. Im scared because I feel like I am not going to have enough time to do practice tests at the end. But I cant skip the curriculum either because I have no background in the LSAT. How do you suggest I go about my studying. My old diagnostic without any prior LSAT prep was 138. My goal is 160

Is there a way to delete problem sets in the existing problem set tab?

Is there a way for me to create my own study schedule, it is letting me put in my own dates but I want to be able to rearrange the weeks.
