So i went to take a pt today and for the first time in this study process i could not for the life of me concentrate on reading the stimulus and i did not want to either. I got so frustrated that i just closed out the test and called it a day. I have been studying pretty intensely since the end of February and have heard about the potential of "burnout" but have never had any trouble with motivation or desire to study. Then this morning happened and i am kind of worried this may be what is going on. I have not really taken any breaks longer than a day off since February. I am thinking about taking this next week off and just doing undergrad work and picking it up again next Saturday. Does anyone who has experienced something similar have any advice? I am registered for November so taking a week off makes me nervous about taking that much time off. Thanks!

I'm taking the October and November LSAT-Flex and have been doing practice tests mainly using PTs 60-89. However, I have already used 8 of the available PTs in this range, and considering I am retaking again in a month, I worry about running out of fresh new PTs at some point before the November test. What should I do about this? Start using older tests or focus on drilling to save newer PTs?

Hello! For the full 4-section LSAT I know that to get a 170 typically you can get around a -10 (depending on the curve). Does anyone know what's the max number wrong I should be aiming for if I'm hoping to make a 170 on the Flex? Thanks so much in advance!

I feel like I am struggling with productivity during my day of studying and its really bringing me down that I am constantly feeling unmotivated or like I am just not studying enough in a day. I am working on FPing right now, but I am literally only getting through two games a day. I take breaks because if not my attention span is shot, but ive just noticed that I have been at this for about 5 hours and have only done 2 games from 1 section. I am trying to wake up earlier because I am so unproductive because I am thinking that if i study more hours I will hopefully be able to get done in a day what a productive person gets done within a few hours.

I am not PTing yet, but FPing LG (best timed is -8) and trying untimed RC (-12 yikes) and trying to just do a few LR Qs a day (-4).

Does anyone else feel like this and how did you motivate yourself to be more productive?

Drop your study schedules in the comments because I feel like maybe being on a tight schedule will help me be more rigorous

Hi guys, do you have any advice on the writing sample? Also, will the writing process also be recorded like the other sections?

Hi all, I was wondering how best to "warm up" for the test. When taking practice exams, I've noticed I sometimes miss easy question at the beginning of the first section and feel like I'm just mentally foggy for the first few questions. What are some good ways to warm so you can start off strong?

Do we think the PTs in the 80s are slightly less important to focus on in the age of the flex test? (Obviously they're still important, just less so than before?) I hear they're pulling experimental from past administrations, so I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are.

Hi there, I am about 52% done in the course and am scheduled to take the November 14th exam here. I am devoting about 5-7h a day on studying and am trying to do more so that I can have roughly 2 weeks prior to the exam to concentrate solely on LR memorization (lawgic) and exams. I have previously studied for the LSAT last year, using a different course that I didn't like as much and received just below 150 (I know, not great). My question is: has anyone not finished the full course and been okay score-wise. I am going to have to seriously cram to finish in time + give myself about 2 weeks free for review and exams.

Thank you in advance!

How do we take a practice test that'll resemble lsat-flex on test day? hope my question makes sense.

My actual scores (timed) are in the low 140's (147 being highest). My highest BR is a 149. Should I be discouraged? My best section is currently the LG's. I'm having a hard time with LR (haven't reached the RC section yet). I'm taking exam in Jan. Would I have enough time to bring up score? My BR is encouraging but not my actual PT score.

I was automatically put into nov 14th slot but when will they allow us a list of dates to choose from? I know testing will be taking place from nov 7-nov11

Is it just me or did they change the November LSAT registration deadline?? I had it written down in my planner as September 30th and when I checked LSAC today, it said the registration deadline was yesterday. Someone please tell me this is a mistake and I’m not crazy!!!

Hi, I upgraded to the LSAC Prep Plus and still cannot access the problem sets. When I initially subscribed to 7Sage, I had no problem going through the problem sets. What is going on?

Hey y'all, I was just going through one of the lessons on the syllabus and when I tried to "star" something, nothing happened. I also tried liking peoples comments, and the like button would pop up and down, but I wouldn't actually like the post. The same thing happened when I tried to press a button to speed up and slow down the video, as well as when I tried to press the "answer" button below the video. This is only happening on specific lesson pages, but not on the syllabus page.

I've tried clearing my cache, as well as switching to a different browser (I'm currently using Firefox but I switched to Chrome to test it out) and the issue has persisted. Any suggestions?

"On Lesson 16/18 we were taught that another person’s argument or POV is not the conclusion. However, on Lesson 17/18 some of the conclusions to 2/5 questions were from another person’s POV, i.e., “They concluded” and “some believe”.

I’d love it if anyone can help clear up the confusion."

I'm trying to create a problem set consisted of LR questions I got wrong in past PTs. However, I couldn't find that function on the "Create Problem Set" page. Anyone knows how I get do that? Thanks!

I am not learning from my PTs and my scores are consistently 150s. I do LR, BR them, watch the explanations, and fail to learn from them. Still running out of time for LG, and RC is just miserable, losing stamina at the 3rd passage and and fail to remember the details, constantly need to reread them. It all seems so simple when I watch the explanations, but how am I not learning from them. I think maybe that just my intelligence ceiling.

Hi everyone!

Technically I take the LSAT October 4th but I'm lacking in confidence because my prepping methods have not been traditional, so to speak. I combined my prep work between a prep book and a months worth of prep tests provided by 7sage. I have not completed any course work but I was hoping someone would recommend the most fundamental/ critical course work to complete before taking the LSAT, specifically in Logical Reasoning. I understand I don't have much more prep time but any feedback would be appreciated! Thank you all!

My LR and LG are improving but NOT RC. I get under 5 LR questions wrong and under 3 LG questions wrong each section. But RC is averaging 15+ wrong questions, which is very discouraging. One reason is the vocabularies in RC. When I read a word that I am not familiar with, I tend to get stuck there and try to figure out the meaning of the words. How do you usually study the new words in passages? Also, I found that I always stuck with two answer choices that are very similar, especially on inference questions.

What can I do before October and November test? Any advice is appreciated!

Any tips for LG

Hi All-

As I'm sure every 7sager can empathize with, the LSAT is one of the most mentally grueling tasks they've ever encountered. My journey began in September of 2018 and I was under the assumption that you could take the LSAT an unlimited amount of times so I made the not so wise choice to make the first time I ever even looked at an LSAT be an official test. I got a 142. I had no idea the work that I needed to put in to get where I am today. I purchased a grossly overpriced one-on-one tutor, wasted 4 months, and took the test again in October of 2019 and got a 147. Until I found 7sage in December of 2019.

The free trial got me hooked because I could go at my own pace, there was no fluff and bulls**t that name brand tutor platforms were spewing about being ready after 12 weeks and thousands of dollars later. The premise of 7sage to me was simple: this education is a great value, we will give you the tools you need to succeed, but the onus is on your to put the work in to see the results. I loved J.Y.'s sense of humor, intellect, and true understanding of the task at hand because he went through it himself. On the July LSAT-Flex in 2020, I received a 156. Which was a fantastic jump and something I was proud of, but my highest score on a PT was a 163, which I only attained one time. I knew I had one last shot to take the test and feel like the years of anguish and studying I put in had to be for something. On the August LSAT-Flex, I received a 162. This may not be the dream score of many people, and there is always a little gremlin on my shoulder asking if I could have done better, but I know it's my dream score because it was my very best. That's such an important takeaway that I wanted to share with everyone. Do your absolute best so when your LSAT journey is over, which I promise it is finite, you can be proud of yourself. This journey has to be something you want and you can't do it for anyone else.

I wish everyone the best of luck on their journeys! Never give up and in my opinion, your dream score should be what you think your absolute best can be. Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to the potential within yourself.

Happy Studying & Thank You 7Sage!!! (3(/p)

HI All,

quick question, will any of yall be putting titles on your personal statement or diversity statement? Debating if I should put a title on mine or not. Or if it even matters tbh

Thanks

I want to cancel my Ultimate+ (month-by-month) subscription, but I plan to renew it starting November 1. Will I lose all my data on problem sets and preptests I've taken? Can I easily just cancel the subscription right now, then renew it 5-6 weeks from now?

Hey 7Sage community,

I need some help. I really want to apply to law school this cycle and am going to take the November LSAT. For the past three PTs that I've taken I've scored between160-163 on the actual test and have gotten 173-175 on blind review for these same tests (breakdown of my scores below). I really want/need to bump my score up a few more points to be even within reaching distance for the law school that I really want to get into. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but I am particularly trying to get into Michigan for a variety of reasons, partly because I am currently a grad student here and have a pretty strong why Michigan essay as well as strength in my undergrad GPA (3.9) and other things that will help my application. I think that with this extra bump in my LSAT score I could have a shot of getting in.

So here's my problem: How can I raise my score by roughly five points or so in just under two months? Like I mentioned above, I'm a full time graduate student, plus I work part time, so I've found it hard to fit in time for anything more than a PT and a blind review of that test each week. Given the breakdown of my three PTs below, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can target specific areas or what I should focus on in my study time in order to improve before the November test? I really struggle with timing as well (as is exhibited by the difference between my actual and BR scores), so I am wondering if anyone has tips for improving timing? Also, if anyone is interested in dabbling in tutoring and is interested in helping me at all, please DM me!

Here is a breakdown of my three most recent PTs:

PT 1:

Actual Score: 163, -9 RC, -3 LG, -5 LR, -7, LR

BR Score: 175

PT 2:

Actual Score: 160, -7 RC, -8 LG, -4 LR, -7 LR

(*note: the high number of missed questions on LG for this test is unusual for me -- what happened here is I ran into a hard game that I had practiced before and I psyched myself out by remembering that it was really hard)

BR Score: 175

PT 3:

Actual Score: 162, -8 RC, -2 LG, -5 LR, -7 LR

BR Score: 173

Thank you to anyone who can provide some help! I appreciate any and all advice!

Best,

Heather
