I don't think I can attach an image here but something changed when I go to where I take problem sets, the buttons and stuff no longer take up the full width of my browser and for some reason have been squeezed into a small vertical area, the same when I take sections, the actual screen with the questions is really small. How do I fix this?
It is the same with other browsers that I have tried.
How can you get in touch with one? I heard apparently it was free if you have purchased CAS?
Like title suggests. I'm currently thinking about rescheduling my Feb to April. Would like the opportunity to retake in June, but am unsure if it will be the same 3-section format FLEX. The powerscore podcast suggested that it will still be flex, but I am unsure whether the entire format will remain unchanged. Would love anyone's thoughts!
I'm absolutely devastated by my score. I've been studying for 6 months, haven't PT'd in the 150s in 2 months. Was comfortably between 160-170+ even on my worst days, and yet I have a 158. I have to apply this cycle and I'm just so crushed. I will retake in April in case it helps anything but I should've signed up for February just in case. I've had a horrible year and still dedicated hours each day on top of working full time and managing the loss of a parent to this test. I have a 3.9 GPA and have apps for schools across the T14 (as well as some safeties in case of this happening, luckily) but I'd love to hear from anyone whose had success at more competitive schools with these numbers. I have what I think is a fairly compelling story and wrote Why X's for each school, and will be adding an LSAT addendum to explain the impact of losing my parent on my ability to study and perform on the test (both logistically, trying to care for everything he left behind as he had no will, lots of debt smh, and also mentally and emotionally as he was a volatile person and its brought up a lot of trauma - although I won't go into that too much). I just feel horrible and I'm kicking myself for performing so extremely below my numbers. I'd been so consistent and I just don't know how it went so far left.
Hello guys,
I tried calling, emailing and now writing in the discussion to get a response to my subscription issue and haven’t heard back from 7sage staff in a few days. I renewed my subscription 1/29 and the new one was supposed to start 2/1 but hasn’t been working and still no response to my calls/emails from 7sage. I hope they see this I have the invoice number and all.
Thanks
How do i cancel my subscription with 7sage?

I am applied for Fall 2021 JD program at my home city University. I took the the January LSAT-Flex for the first time. I know completing the LSAT this late put me a greater risk compared to early applicants (For my school). Especially since January is the cut-off month for LSAT scores. However, I was highly motivated to give it my best shot with a 3.5 month study period. Leading up to the last two weeks before the exam I was finally making break-throughs averaging between 150-155 on my practice tests and rising. The last week before I took the exam I was in ultra-drive mode, caffeine, late night hours, the whole shazam (looking back, this was overkill). I was really aiming to overcome the 160 curve to balance out my application.
Today I received my Flex scores. Without going into too much detail about how it went on test day the straight forward answer is: I completely BOMBED it and I mean completely. I landed in the 130s (lower than my diagnostic test). I am still putting together the pieces of what happened. But for the most part my mind wasn't there on test day. Test anxiety took over and I consciously was out of my body. It was a terrifying feeling. I felt like Goliath getting slain by David. It was tough.
Since it was my first LSAT ever. The LSAC allows first-time test takers to preview and cancel their scores after release date. This option is available for me. However, this test will be my only score on file. Should I cancel my low score and accept defeat for getting in this year? I know the University I am applied to has a holistic admissions process and will look at the whole package. But landing in the 130s... this seems way out of the scope to even think I have a chance.
Thank you for taking the time to read my experience. Any opinion on this will be greatly appreciated.
My study schedule wants me to basically go through all of the Logical Reasoning sections before I even look at logic games and reading comp... However, I average -4 on a full section and am getting nailed by logic games. My reading comps Im getting 6/7 wrong and I haven't even started that portion of my syllabus. Should I continue to do Logical Reasoning, or go into logic games and get better at that bc I heard its where people make up most of their points.
how did you guys study using the core curriculum/practice tests? did you go through the entire core curriculum as is (ex: doing several of the weaken question problem sets in a row) or did you not do all and go back to them? I'm just confused as to what I would use for drilling after I go through the entire core curriculum in order? (also, the core curriculum is just considered everything before you reach the practice tests correct? or is it everything before diagnostic?)

I am planning on taking the June and August 2021 tests. I am assuming the June test will be a Flex, although I am not so sure about August. I live in California and some colleges have already announced fully online classes for Fall 2021. Should I be taking 3 section timed practice tests to simulate flex conditions, or 5-section tests just in case? Only asking bc for Flex, LR isn't weighted as heavily, neither is stamina, so the way I will focus my studying will be different. What are you guys doing for those who are applying for the 2021-2022 admissions cycle?
Just wondering for those who have sat the flex before: how long do you get in-between sections? I know there is no break, but when you've finished a section are you just automatically flung into the next section or is there like 10 seconds to calibrate before the next section?
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share my story and how its coming to an end. About 2 years ago I started my LSAT journey, thought this was a beatable test and gave myself two months to study. Fumbled hard on the real thing, I did not finish any section and remember circling "E" for probably half of the test questions.
That was a wake up call, I questioned my self worth and if I would ever be able to perform well on this test.
I gave up and worked full time. After working sometime as a supervisor in a warehouse, I realized I was working 60hr weeks and making a shitty salary and had no time for myself. I was stuck in the rat race for little reward. I didn't graduate top of my class to be in this position, I graduated top of my class to give myself the best shot I could to get into law school.
So I reflected on why I started my goal 4 to 6 years ago, and that was to get into Law school and make a difference in my community.
With this in mind, I quit my full time job to pursue studying for the LSAT. It was still a rocky road because I found I would burn out after studying 1 or 2 weeks.
But I kept trying and the longer I studied the more I saw patterns and the more I improved. I managed to eventually PT around 155, my goal score being 160+. With a daughter soon coming into this world, the January LSAT was probably my last shot before having to move on and become a father and take care of my growing family.
I finally completed the LSAT and had mixed emotions on how I performed. It felt easier than what I PTed, but after reading the comments online of people typically PTing 165+ saying it was difficult and it had weird questions made me question my performance. Although, since this being my last take, I never once thought to cancel.
This morning I checked my score and I got a 160, out performing my average PTs and enough to secure a spot in my top choice school.
Thank you 7Sage for being such a wonderful community and for those who are still on their journeys, find that reason why and once you do, it will keep that fire burning and should make the process much easier and enjoyable.
Good Bye 7Sage.
P.S. 135 --> 160 (25pt improvement) studying on and off over 2 years.
Hi everyone!
I have my LSAT Flex in 2 weeks, and I have taken lots of practice tests. My last two scores have been a 170 and a 169, in that order. With that said, my 169 was because I missed 8 questions all from reading comp, which rarely happens for me. Anyone have any tips on how to get myself ready from here on out to get a 170+? I plan to take only two more practice tests because I do not want to stress myself out much before the test. Thanks :)
Thank you 7sage and JY.
You have changed my life.
My first attempt in trying to study by myself was a utter failure. I studied for over 2 months and took the November test. I received a 146.
Then I decided to spend that extra money and invest in a teacher. My only regret is not doing it sooner. I went from a 146 to a 155 in just less than 2 months.
JY, thank you.
You really do change lives with your teachings.
I looked for a way out in my darkness for a really long time. My only way through was LSAT. It was my chance to escape. I wish I could go in more detail but I'll keep it short.
JY, LSAT, Law school, my life is about to change.
I usually don't write anything like this on a public forum but I needed closure.
Goodbye LSAT. It has been the hardest thing I ever had to do. It was a self-battle all the way. I cried and cried and cried.
I told myself I could do it and I did.
I wasn't aiming for the sky but a 155 still seemed so impossible.
This was all I needed and now I have it.
I will forever be grateful. I couldn't be happier.
If you're reading this and you feel like shit. You can do it. If I can, anyone can.
Goodbye 7sage and to the best teacher I ever had.
Hello :)
I feel devastated after seeing my Jan Score and it was 151. I'm actually aiming for 175+ .. actually I'm thinking of cancelling my score. would it be a dig deal if I cancel my score? Do y'all think I can increase my score in 2 months? I definitely think I need more time but my parents want me to take LSAT Asap and finish it with high score but I want to take LSAT after my summer break which is like July or August
What do y'all think? Please vote or leave a comment! How long should I study?
Never give up 💪🏼
I studied from April to November (30+ hr/wk). Took Nov Flex scored 168, I wasn’t willing to give up on the 170+ dream. Started studying rigorously again after 3 weeks between my Nov Flex and score release. Took Jan Flex and earned a 173! I hope this post motivates people to never quit and never settle 🙏🏼😎
I can’t thank JY and the fantastic team at 7Sage enough, couldn’t have done it without their fantastic resources!
This morning I've been seeing a lot of disappointment posts- a lot more than usual after scores are released. In any case, I just wanted to make a brief post that will hopefully expedite the grieving process and get you back on the horse ASAP. Also, full disclosure, I also received an official score that was significantly lower than my avg PT back in October, so I can fully relate.
First and foremost I want to preface this just by saying that everyone studying for this test and grappling with the mentally taxing beast that is the LSAT deserves recognition, so give yourself a round of applause. Most of us out here do not fall into the rare group of people that have a natural (or nurtured) aptitude for this test and as a result have to work hard to get our scores up (not to say the others don't, it's all relative). In any case, seeing a lower score after all that hard work can feel, as many have put it today, "devastating". But as they say in theatre "the show must go on" (in case you are wondering, no, i'm not a theatre person). Keep in mind that a lot of (dare I say most) of the 7sage success stories did not get their amazing scores on their first attempt and would not have gotten them had they given up after a disappointing score- food for thought.
Now, for those struggling with motivation or questioning whether law is no longer the right path (solely because of an LSAT score that does not reflect the hard work they've put in) do yourselves a favor: take at least a couple days off and pick up the book "Can't hurt me" by David Goggins. This book was recommended to me by someone who helped me, and boy did it light the fire under my ass.
Lastly, I know this test has the ability to consume your entire life (been there). So please, take care of your health, go outside for walks or runs, hit the gym, get your skin some sunlight and make sure you do non-LSAT related things.
Yes, this test is important, but it is just that, a test.
Good luck!
I've been studying for the LSAT for a long time. At this point I have taken it 6 times and not once scored even remotely close to my PTs. In fact, before January I was scoring mostly high 160s, low 170s and got a 157 on the actual test. I wasnt nervous, I didnt have any hiccups, and it did not feel hard. Usually I am a great test taker. Yet I cannot get even CLOSE to my PTs. I don't know what to do anymore. My highest official score is 161 and it is nowhere close to any of the universities I would consider attending.
I don't know what to do or how to explain this outcome.
What do I do??
Hi everyone! I received my score today and I'm so disappointed. I scored the same as in November. I'm usually a pretty confident person but after this whole LSAT journey, I have to admit it affected my confidence a lot. Even though I am not satisfied with my test results, I have taken this exam twice. It's time for me to move on from this and concentrate on making the best out of what I got. This 7sage community has been so helpful and encouraging, thank you to everyone who has responded and helped through my times of uncertainty and insecurity. I hope that you all get to live out your dreams and achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
Lol I thought I would be free from the LSAT after January... Wishful thinking! I canceled my subscription and it was set to expire on February 3 (today) but now I'd like to continue it. However I don't see any option to continue being charged as normally, it just says it's canceled? Any help is appreciated! Thank you.
Good luck !!
Looking for a little motivation. Idk why I’m having so much trouble getting back into studying. I’ve taken MONTHS off since bombing my November LSAT and am trying to get the discipline/motivation to get back on the horse. I think I’m discouraged with the time I previously feel like I “wasted” with Kaplan. I burned myself out only to get a crazy low score and now am having trouble getting myself to buckle down and study again. Has this happened to anyone else?
