I was wondering if you all had any tips on how to stay engaged when reading long texts for the LSAT flex. When I read on paper I like to use my pen/finger to trace the words to stay engaged with close reading, but I am struggling to find a way to mirror this for the flex.

If you have a proctorU account (edit:maybe) you can schedule your test. Good luck!

Hi everyone!

I'm currently in the beginning of the course, and I am just curious if you guys showed a large improvement between your diagnostic PT and the first few PT's you took once finishing all the prep lessons offered? Or did most people just show gradual improvement as you took the PT's?

Thanks!

I'm curious why everyone here is interested in going to law school :)

I'll start– I want money! jk. I had a high school class where we took field trips to meet different professionals and I liked the prosecutors above all. At least on the surface, they all looked happy with their jobs and their work sounded interesting, especially the one in the special victims' unit. I also watch legal dramas, so my understanding of legal work might be a little too romantic.

Hi Everyone,

I started studying back in November and was originally planning on taking the test in April. However, based on my projected timeline I am planning on pushing my date back until June. I am wondering if anyone knows when the registration dates after April are usually opened?

did anyone else find PT72 wildly difficult? i took it earlier this week and got absolutely wrecked. granted, i wasn't in the test-taking mood when i sat down for it so i knew i probably wouldn't be scoring my best. and i did guess the entire last logic game (seriously wtf was that?). but even LR destroyed me and that's usually a very reasonable section for me.

im signed up for the january test and my score for PT72 was SIGNIFICANTLY lower than my last few tests :(

I first registered for the Flex in November, but then after scheduling my November exam time on Proctor U, I decided to change my test date to January.

In November, I received the ProctorU link to create my account and all - they sent me the email with my acct and temporary password. I'm almost positive I created a new password but now I can't get into my account whatsoever. Even worse, when I click "forgot password" it doesn't send me an email, so I have no way of creating a new password.

Do we get new proctor U info if we sign up for a new exam? I technically have never taken a Flex exam, but I definitely signed up for the November exam through Proctor U. Or is something seriously wrong on my part...

Hi there! I am 2 weeks out from test day, and I am still experiencing widespread inconsistency, or random inconsistencies at times. My past 10 tests have been 176-170-166-165-170-168-168-169-170-168, and today, I got 161 on PT85, my worst in a long time. For those of you who are consistent in your scores, how do you do it? My BR has generally put me in the low 170s, but I don't get why sometimes my mind just completely blank and.I hit rock bottom.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey everyone, my life has taken a turn recently. And at this moment I don't have the time to keep studying. That being said I plan to attack the LSAT again later in life when things cool down and I have the time to give it the attention is deserves. Thus, for now I don't want to continue paying $90 dollars a month for 7 sage, if i cancel but come back again later will 7 sage still recognize what I have covered, and where I am in the syllabus ? I don't want to lose my progress !!!

Anyone have experience with this ?

Thanks !

Besides the questions in the title...

What do you usually do during those days?

I took a couple of days off and sometimes I even needed 1 week or so to get refreshed...I feel like I take too many days off...

I do have an active Ultimate+ membership. I have reached out to 7sage, but I just want to ask and see if maybe anyone else is experiencing the same thing. I've never had to link a PrepPlus account (additional cost) to watch any video explanations before; my Ultimate+ always worked fine. I am mainly looking at logic games, which are supposedly all accessible w this membership.

Hello Sagers,

I am currently going -7/8 on LR and I wanted to know how long it took y’all to get to -2/3? And if you have any tips on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated!

Ok so I just took my first PT post completion of the core curriculum. Scored a 145 on the actual test can't lie was a little too anxious out the gate, but on BR which took me only about a hour to finish I scored a 163 and 2 of the question I got right initially. Is it just a timing thing or?

(Hope this post is allowed.) I need a private tutor to help me jump from the 159-low 160s to at least a 170. Please send tutor reccs.

I have always been an awful test taker, regardless of the subject or however knowledgeful I am in those topics. I would rather speak in front of the class then take a test. With this test it has only increased my anxiety levels, has anyone or does anyone have any tips to combat this feeling. I feel that it is truly hurting my score and in thinking that i need a certain score to get into the my school of choosing is further amplifying that. Please help, I am taking the LSAT in 2 weeks, which is not helping :(!!!!!

Hi all,

Will law schools care if I take the Jan LSAT and apply in October. Would it look like I was trying to avoid the longer LSAT and would that look bad?

Hi! I have noticed that when I take PTs, I struggle with changing gears when sections change. What I mean by that is if the first section is LR, I am able to get into the swing of LR but then when it switches to RC for the next section, I'm slow at getting my brain to read and answer RC questions.

I notice that I do worse on sections as the test goes on. This isn't an endurance issue because I'm not tired or want to stop, I'm just not able to think as quickly.

Any advice for what people do or how to get over this?

Hey there fellow 7Sagers! Seeking advice on how to make the jump from mid 160s (averaging 164 on PTs) to the low 170s (170-173) in three months. I started off at a 138 and have been studying for about 7 months now. I work full-time and can dedicate about 10-15 hours of studying realistically each week. I definitely think it's possible but wanted to hear if anyone made the jump in a similar timeline or anyone has any study plan ideas.

When JY says that we can disregard a statement that is preceded with the word “although”, can we literally just skip right over the statement that follows that word without reading it as if it has no effect on the argument? I know that doing so would save a few seconds, but im too OCD in making sure i read every word, feeling i might miss out on something important.

I am looking for an accountability partner from now until the April LSAT. I want someone who is planning to apply early for Fall 2022, has been studying for the test for a while, is aiming for a T10 law school, wants a 170+, and wants to get this thing over with by the middle of this year. I prefer someone who is weaker on LG (no specific limit here) but stronger on LR and RC (-2 to 4 range) so we can complement each other. I am breaking even on all sections but while I can mostly figure out my errors for LG by myself, I often can't do so with LR and RC. My highest PT was a 168 and I am looking to break into the 170s. If you are interested, please PM me, not comment. We can meet once a week through zoom or maybe even more depending on how things go and I honestly just want another human by my side through all this because this test material is very dry to say the least

I’ve had anxiety problems since I was 12, and have also been on medication for anxiety since then as well. Despite being on a medication, I still get anxiety during tests to the point where I nearly get sick to my stomach. The LSAT is the biggest test of my life, just like it is for many others. I have pretty much everything riding on doing well and hitting my target score. What can I do to lessen my test day anxiety? Is it possible for me to receive extra time or something? Is there a medication I should request from my doctor to help reduce the anxiety I have? I am just extremely stressed about this situation, and I haven’t even scheduled my test date yet.

Hi everyone! Like many people recommend, I have been saving the most recent PT's for my study sessions closer to the real LSAT exam. I understand that the newer practice tests shouldn't be (or, subjectively they shouldn't be) more difficult, but I am noticing that I am really struggling with them! So far I have taken a few in the 70's and a few in the 80's. My scores have been significantly lower. Has anyone noticed that they are having issues as well? I know there truly are very subtle differences, but I'm just not too sure how to adjust my studying accordingly. Does anyone have any advice for how to approach these newer tests?

Hello fellow 7sagers, I am writing in hopes of finding advice. My actual score has consistently been 149 while my BR score has been 161. How do I close this gap? Any insight is more than appreciated. Thank you!

Sometimes I hit 170/173/174, other times I hit 164-167. Would like to stabilize this and improve my scores so that they're consistently 170+ (preferably 172 or 173+). Looking for a study buddy who is in a similar situation!

Hello everyone,

I have been a 7sage member for a while but haven't even gone through the CC. I am a full time Electrical Engineering student and have a few jobs on campus, so I usually would be so overloaded with work that I keep pushing studying for the LSAT. Though now I am pretty much free with winter break, and my upcoming semester is very light as I am done with all my engineering courses.

I have been having a real hard time the last 2 weeks sticking to studying. I attend a pretty tough college so studying a minimum of 6 hours a day up to 14 hours is not strange to me and I have the stamina for it but focusing on the LSAT has been a struggle.

Anyone have any advice on how to become consistent, and stick to it? Anything you did to hold yourself accountable?

I feel odd asking as I know its a "motivation" thing. But I really am in for the hours to study, though every time I plan a study session I either just get distracted with random things or something gets in the way.

Thank youu in advance
