I keep getting sent to my syllabus in the middle of completing my Prep Test. I did an internet speed test, and my speed looks good. With the Jan 2021LSAT coming up, I am assuming there is just a lot of people on this website right now that are trying to complete the same Prep Tests. Is this something you all are experiencing as well? (it is good practice for the actual test, which may get disconnected from the proctor!)

Hey folks, I'm wondering if its okay to be reading outloud on the LSAT flex. I know there will be a proctor etc. so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to read an RC passage or LR stimuli outloud as long as you're alone in the room you're testing in. But I know this has been an issue for proctored college exams and other standardized tests so I am just curious if it also applies to the LSAT.

I just started 7Sage at the beginning of this week so I'm still familiarizing myself with the site, but I was in the middle of the Main Point/Conclusion lesson when I clicked next and it suddenly said I didn't have that subscription? And now my syllabus does not even have that lesson on it, even though I paid for the monthly Ultimate+. Did anyone else have this problem/ know how to help?

Main Point

Hi,

I went to continue to work through the main point section today and it seems to have disappeared. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hello, I have recently just started my studying and wanted to over the material of Main Point questions that are early in the logic section but now they will not show up unless I go to my notes. When I go the notes section and click on the link for a starred MP question, it says I do not have the plan for this material even though I just went over it. My plan is monthly by the way.

I already took the LSAT twice in the past year, once in June (162) and once again in August (164). I was scheduled to take it again In November but decided to post-pone it until January. Admittedly, Master's applications and end-of-term finals got the best of me, so I only started up studying again in January. I am a Canadian school applicant, so my cGPA and B3 is 3.80.

I have already been accepted to a law school, however my dream school has a LSAT 25th percentile of 163, a median lsat of 166 and a 75th percentile of 167, and a GPA 25th percentile of 3.77, median of 3.86, and a 75th percentile of 3.91, which is why I have been considering retaking the LSAT so many times as I do recognize that I am in their lower percentile. However, I do not want to have a third attempt on file without a significant increase (as in 167+) since I have heard this does not look good for this score and would want to save a third and final-ish attempt in the case that I decide to defer going to law school for another year, which would give me more time to study for a third attempt.

I have been pt-ing on average around 164-166 with a consistent average BR of 172-176. Though my two last pt’s were 163 and 159 (May 2020 and PT88 killed me! What was that LR and what was that RC???). Considering the January LSAT is next week for me and today’s the last day to withdraw, do you think it is worth retaking? I don’t want to risk having a lower or similar score as my last attempt.

my BR is showing me that there is a very likely potential to score in the high 160s, low 170s range if I just recognize the support a little better in the allotted time. but obviously I am not sure whether I can reasonably expect myself to suddenly improve that in a couple of days. though I can try, I suppose. this would be my last attempt to improve my score for the 2021 cycle. so that’s why I think an attempt would not be worth it if it’s not at least 3 points higher.

any insight would be much appreciated! Thanks!!

I completed all Core Curriculum including and up to "Main Point and Conclusion." When I tried to go back and rewatch the videos from "Main Point and Conclusion," I can no longer access them or even see them in my syllabus. Is it normal that once you complete a section it disappears? Please let me know if you have the same issue or if I am missing something.

Im currently having issues pertaining to Logic Games. I'm having issues in terms of which game board type I would apply depending on the stimulus. I'm not sure if I should do In/Out or Grouping or a mix of two depending on the situation is what I'm having issues with immensely. I haven't practiced the logic games section that much though in terms of the explanation videos JY provides. Do you think if I print the Logic Game questions out that are provided in the curriculum and doing them over and over again will help me identify which game board I use in the future on other questions? I would appreciate any guidance!

ADHD and LSAT

Hi everyone

It's been 7 months since I started studying for LSAT, my first PT i got 127 and the best one so far I got 150. I've been diagnosed with ADHD, and studying for this test with ADHD makes it 100X harder than it normally is. I get distracted so many times while reading the question, especially RC. It's been around 1.5 month that I have not improved at all, and I have lost my confidence. Has anyone struggling with similar problem (ADHD) has any advice for me?

Hi everyone,

I am about to retake the LSAT in January and am hoping for a higher score than the first time I took it in July. 7Sage has helped me a lot. When I am practicing and drilling questions, I get a lot of them right. When I go to take a timed practice test, I seem to have hit a brick wall with my score, but I know I am capable of getting higher. Does anyone have any last minute advice on how to get past this mental block? Thanks so much!!

Nervous about the LSAT Saturday?

Of course you are. You're about to take an important test. It's not the most important test though. That one you will be taking in June.

Just kidding. This is likely the last LSAT you'll ever take.

I'm only trying to remind you that for something this important, there are second chances. That's not true for a lot of other important things in life, so that's something to feel good about.

For most of you, you already know what score you'll get. Take your last three recent properly administered LSAT PrepTests (e.g., 69, 70, 71) and average your score. You'll get plus or minus 3 points of that average.

There is nothing separating you from that score except the mere passing of a few day's time.

You are as prepared as you can be. You have already seen everything those crafty LSAT writers will throw at you and you've amply demonstrated your ability to respond with craftiness of your own.

Saturday will not be a new day and the February 2014 LSAT will not be a new LSAT. It will only be "LSAT PrepTest 72" which will be just like PT 71 and PT 70 and PT 69 and so on. (Well, sort of, they don't release this one.)

For Saturday, remember only this: keep moving.

You will encounter a few insanely difficult curve breaker questions. Every LSAT has them. Every student who has ever taken the LSAT before you has encountered them. You will encounter them (again) on Saturday. I am telling you this now, so you will be prepared. Skip those difficult questions. Maintain your rhythm.

Keep moving.

You got this.

Hi 7Sagers!

I am looking for advice regarding the best way to boost my score for a retake.

I was planning to apply for the 2021 cycle but have decided to wait, partially so I can apply ASAP for the next cycle to increase chances at admission/scholarships and partially because my LSAT score isn't quite where I want it to be/believe it can be.

Some background:

  • I self-studied last summer for around 2.5 months using Khan Academy and PTs, was scoring around 160-161, but I scored a 158 on the August LSAT.
  • I switched to 7Sage in October and have since been using that to do PTs, timed sections, and watch videos of areas that I need to strengthen. I have not done the core curriculum in its entirety - wasn't sure if it would be helpful since I had a foundation from studying the first time around and wasn't necessarily brand new to the test.
  • In December, I was still PTing around 160-161 (with the occasional higher score), which was frustrating because I felt like the additional studying hadn't done anything.
  • Since making the decision to wait a cycle, I have pushed my Jan test to April (would be open to pushing it to May if that's an option & is flex) with a goal of 165+ and am now wondering what is the best way for me to prepare during these next few months - focus on whole PTs? Do the core curriculum? Do a combination of the two at the same time? I'm worried that if I focus too much time on the curriculum, I am just delaying practicing my skills & will have less time ultimately to do PTs; on the other hand, it seems that the curriculum might be important in strengthening my foundation.

    I want to feel as confident as possible going into the next LSAT and would love any suggestions you all have for how to best approach studying this time around!

    P.S. I do work full-time in case that changes anything.

    Thank you!

    Hey all!

    I'm taking the Jan flex next week and am shooting for a 160. I have been doing research and it appears that 54/76 points translates to a 160 on the flex. However, I was going through my Preptests on 7Sage and scored 54/76 on PT 81 which (on 7Sage) translated to a 158.

    I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on which scoring scale is closer to the flex? Would love to know if anyone else has noticed something similar!

    There was a previous discussion on increasing Mac RAM storage capacity ahead of the Flex test and I can't find it anymore. I'm struggling to get within the parameters required for ProctorU - did anyone else see the thread recommendations? Many thanks!

    I am doing some of the recent PTs and find myself struggle with the relationship among ideal experiment, control groups and causation. (eg: May2020 LR Q11, Q14). I know that ideal experiment could produce a casual outcome, but I still tend to make mistakes on questions testing the ideas of having control groups or of similar concepts. Are there any recommended material that I could read to better understand those concepts on the LSAT?

    Many thanks!

    2021 LSAT Dates

    Hi all!

    Does anyone know when LSAC will release new testing dates? I know that they have release the dates for January and April, but will there be any other test dates for 2021?

    Cannot Improve My Score

    I simply cannot improve my score. I have taken the LSAT before (twice) and scored 148 and 149. I used other resources to study (Kaplan). I signed up for 7sage because I know some people that took it and they highly recommended it. I used to watch the logic game videos when they were on youtube. Regardless, I have completed my core curriculum, and have begun to take full prep tests.

    I have done 3 prep tests so far and completed the blind review as well. I literally scored 147, 149, 149 on my timed runs and scored 154, 159, 159 on blind review.

    Any advice here? I cannot tell what is keeping me down.

    After how many practice tests did you begin to notice an improvement in your score?

    Keep in mind, I run my own business, so I do work long hours. My study schedule thus far has been this... Timed test on Sunday, Blind Review Monday, then Tuesday to Friday I review each section individually, and I take a break on Saturday.

    LSAT Flex Writing

    Hi everyone,

    Do you have to complete the online writing sample prior to your LSAT test date? Or is it ok to do the writing sample within the few days after you take the test? I'm taking the LSAT on Saturday, so if I should do my writing sample before then please let me know asap :) thanks everyone!

    Hi all,

    I saw a 7sager already posted a similar question (see https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/13716), but I'm less confused about what happens, and more so how we made the decision in the first place.

    I was doing a problem set in which one of the rules was "F is not included in the same group as N."

    At first, I drew it out as F ----> /N, which is a "not both" rule. However, when given a new premise (/F), it failed the sufficient and I didn't know what to do anymore/couldn't go any further.

    Going back to JY's video explanation, I saw that he drew it out as a bi-conditional F (----) /N. When given /F, then we can conclude N is in. And then the answer is very clear.

    My question is, how are we supposed to know when to use a bi-conditional and when to use a not both rule? What triggers the use of a bi-conditional? The rule "F is not included in the same group as N" spoke to me as a "not both" rule, but could also speak as a bi-conditional [(either) or but not both].

    I've been studying off-and-on for the last 9 months with the 7Sage Ultimate + package (finished the CC), but now I'm ready to hunker down and put in about 15-20 hours of studying per week; however, I work full-time and I have no idea how long this will be sustainable for me as I've only been going at this pace for the last few weeks. My goal is to reach 165+ by June/September 2017 and recently a paralegal job at work has opened up that is only W-F, which would allow me a huge amount of additional study time. Before I apply for this job, does anyone who has scored in this range (PT or an administered test) have any insight about working full-time or part-time and how this has affected their test score? (Obviously more time is better, but I also have 7-11 months at 15-20 hours to fine-tune what I've already learned and PT.) Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated! Many thanks!

    Hello...I have really bad test anxiety and money to spend so I was planning to go through with the January LSAT and see how I do. If I don't do well I am planning to take the February LSAT (already signed up). I score pretty decently on practice exams but my question is...does this look bad to admissions?

    Take test again

    Hi I completely bombed one of the tests on 7sage and would like to retest. Does 7sage allow you to take a test again and re-score? I can't seem to figure out how.

    Thanks!
