For the August flex test, I got 164 again for the second time same as the June flex. Honestly I couldn’t believe it and stared at the screen for like 5mins blinking lol. It was very disappointing because I thought I felt much more comfortable with RC and it’s usually my worst section but it doesn’t help that I can’t tell how I did on each section. Weeks approaching the test date, I was PTing around 167 -169 with some outliers. I’m seriously losing confidence in my ability to improve.. I would really appreciate to hear some of your advice / thoughts on whether it would be worth to study for 3rd take.
For some more context, I have 3.77 GPA and wish to go to T14 school (would love to go to NYU or Berkeley as I hope to go into public sector after). I’ve been working full time at a consulting firm for 3 years.
Because I know my August lsat scores are supposed to come in tomorrow :( (technically today bc it’s late) is anybody with me ?? Feel free to talk about ur scores/how the test went for u on this post :( I’m nervous
Hey everyone. Does anyone know if the Webinars are still available on the 7Sage website? Please inform. Thanks everyone!
I started studying in August 2020 and ended up taking the August Flex, on the grounds that I'd take advantage of the flex format to practice and better prepare for subsequent tests with less panic associated with first-time LSAT experience, then use the score preview option for first-time takers to cancel (at that time it was uncertain whether future tests would also be flex, hence my decision to test with (1 month of studying).(/p)
I received a 164 on the August Flex and am retaking in Oct./Nov., but now I'm not so sure if I should cancel the August score.
Working under the assumption that I see an improvement in future scores (regardless of validity of such claim) and that my ultimate goal is 170+, is it better to cancel? Below would be two ideal situations (there's also the possibility that I cancel and score lower, but considering only the upside first), but I'm unsure if there is any nuanced difference in the expected return:
(1) first score canceled, second score 164+ score, done with LSAT
(2) first score 164, second score 164+, done with LSAT
So the difference would be having a 164 somewhere on my application in addition to a second score, or simply having one score I'm satisfied with and one shown as canceled.
I'm aware that Law Schools only look at the highest score, but that the more retakes there are, the less credit given by Law Schools to succeeding scores. I was wondering maybe cancelling a score would offset to an extent the impression of multiple retakes/not starting out with a higher score, or maybe this doesn't matter...
Any input would be appreciated! Thank you for your time.
Hi! Taking both the October and November tests, and still really struggling with consistency on both RC and LR. I am looking for a tutor within the 7sage community who is willing to work with me at least 2-3 times/ week, starting as soon as possible.
Let me know!
Hey all, I was scoring higher on PTs but got a 154 on the august. I'm thinking of retaking just for a chance for some better scholarship money from my schools. I know I'm ok with my 154 but I want that extra chance. I am thinking of registering for November and then scores release on Nov 24th. Is this a decent amount of time to rack up a few points more hopefully and apply? Do I need to cancel my August score (I got score preview) or just do a retake? I'm assuming I just sign up for another one to retake and the other score will be available on apps.
170 lsat, 3.9 gpa
What are my chances of getting a scholarship at a top 20 school?
I took a PT cold and tested at 153 a few months ago and got 167 on August Flex after using Blueprint and 7Sage. I'd like to get into a T14 preferably with scholarship money (or even T20 with full ride). Do you think this score is high enough? I'm 35 years old, have MBA and a decade of professional experience, 3.86 undergrad GPA, non URM (Asian).
So I am signed up for the oct LSAT but honestly might want to wait until November to take it. I saw on their website that you can opt for a voucher that is good for any lsats from nov 2020- april 2021. Does anyone know how to notify the LSAT to let them know that you want the voucher?
Will we get notified when our course is expiring and when we need to make the next payment? @"Juliet --Student Service--" - Thank you in advance!
Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could offer some advice on what I should do. I got a 150 on the August lsat, and would really like to improve towards the low 160s, I have the option to cancel my score and don't know if I should. Also, I am thinking of either taking the November or January exam, but feel like I do not have that much time for the November as I am in school full-time right now. What do you guys think?
heyy guys,
august test takers here we are one day away from score results..my writing STILL HAS NOT BEEN APPROVEDD!
i took it on september 6th and it still says results pending. i contacted them about it and all she said was "yeah we are trying to get to all of them before friday" okay thx lol
anyone else in the same boat?
[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user:]
If there is a sentence that has words from 2 different groups in lawgic, for example, Beth Cannot (group 4) go to the store without (group 3) Tim. Do i have to negate both ideas? and how do I find which is the sufficient? I hope this makes sense!
How can I access the practice tests on 7sage? I have a free account.
Hi Guys,
I am wondering if I can change the BR answer from my finished PT to a new one? Is it possible to do this without creating a new copy of the PT, but just directly replacing the old answer?
Thanks!
Hi,
I finished a PT and the result showed as tho I'd left a bunch of questions blank, which I hadn't, then I sent a msg to tech support to 7 sage, and did the same PT again, the same thing happened but this time the error started with an earlier question, it even said on the results section where the error started and from that question onwards none of my answers were recorded, now the discussion page is glitching for me, I tried a different browser and same thing. Have you experienced this? I wonder if it's an error on my end of 7 sage's software, I hope it can be resolved soon so I can resume studying. I hope I will hear from 7 sage soon.
Thank you!
So I just scored a 161 on PT 63, and this is honestly the equivalent of a 170 plus for me. I Know this level of score will almost certainly get me into a Canadian school and that's all that matters to me at the end of the day.
This came after four months of studying basically full time. After starting off with a 144 diagnostic. Yet, I can't shake the feeling it's a fluke somehow? I can't help but feel maybe I got lucky. Which doesn't seem to be the case because my past three PTs have been 158, 158 and now 161.
From the very beginning I've been doubting myself. Telling myself I'd be happy with a 155, just to have some chance.
Anyone else experience this sort of self doubt and how did you crush it?
I'm tired of part of me thinking I'm not good enough to well on this test. What can I do?
Hello! Does anyone have any tips on how to read a stimulus faster?

Hi everyone,
For the past year, we’ve been working on a major project. The premise is simple. Law school professors know a lot about the law. We know a little about teaching. What if we joined forces?
The result is Law School Explained, a series of video and audio lessons that walk you through the basics of a typical 1L curriculum. Instead of making you infer the law by reading hundreds of cases, we just, well, explain it—and by “we,” I mean “top professors from around the country.” We’ve broken the lessons into small, digestible units. Think of our course as a primer, preview, and supplement that you can watch on the couch or listen to when you go for a run.
We’re working on eight different subjects: Property, Criminal Law, Torts, Con Law, Civil Procedure, Legal Writing, Contracts, and a forthcoming class about how to succeed in law school. So far, we’ve published about a hundred animated video lessons and nearly two hundred audio lessons. Although we’re producing more content each week, we’re finally ready to share this. Here’s how it works:
You can subscribe to our audio and video lessons for $16 per month, or you can subscribe to our audio lessons alone for $9 per month.
With either option, you’ll be able to listen to them right from our website. If you subscribe to the video lessons, you’ll also be able to watch the animations on our website. And with both options, you’ll get access to new content as we publish it.

We’re eager to hear what you think!
Hi I took a preptest recently and a blot of my answers were blank when I went into the Blind Review part. Why does this happen and is there a way to make sure it doesn’t happen again?
So I don't know if it's too late to petition to change my October Exam to November, but if it is I do have a question and I'm not sure which is wiser; should I change to November? Some background info; not applying this year, retaking a 163, underperformed last time and afraid to repeat, pting average of -.6 LG, -4.3 RC, -2.5 LR over past 10ish tests.
Flex places a higher importance on RC which is something that impacts me greatly since my range is from -3 to -6, and a -6 in RC on test day pretty much forces me to only miss 1 question just to get a 170. I'm working on RC but I'm not sure I can drop a -4 to a more reasonable score.
For the record, when I last took the LSAT I was pting around 171 and with my current pt's I really want to be done with the LSAT. Apologies if it seems like a flex, but I'm more concerned with underperforming what I seem to be able to get. Also due to recent strides in RC from an average of -5.1 (a little worse since I'm discounting some tests that I can't find records of) to this I was a little optimistic.
I'm not really sure, maybe I don't have much of a choice and have to take the October or cancel, which I'm not going to do, I'd rather just take it, but I thought I'd ask for advice.
Thanks in advance! Good luck in your journey, if you have any questions otherwise feel free to ask.
Edit: Thanks for your responses everyone, if you did have questions about LSAT tips or anything I'm happy to answer but now I'm confused, the test change link is for 2018....as in the dates are referring to test date changes from 2018 on the petition to change my test date.
Hey! I am having a strange technical glitch on a prep test I just finished (PT 46). After I completed the timed test I went back to complete the BR. I noticed that it indicated that I left several questions blank as the grey color was not filled in on the bubbles. This occurred on section 2 LR (q21-25) and on section 4 LG (q 9-22). This is not possible because I finished each section with time to spare and double checked that each question had an answer selected. I really hope this can be fixed and my answers can be restored because I a few hours on this PT and would like to start the BR and get an accurate picture of my results. I am taking the LSAT on October 3rd so this is a critical time. PLEASE HELP ASAP.
Whenever I try to print out the pdf version of a preptest or problem set it says that the site is having technical difficulties and I am unable to view it. Is anyone else having this problem?
Can I still change my October Flex for the November Flex? I am applying to Law schools this fall but I feel I could really benefit from the extended time. Thanks!
Has anyone who took their LSAT writing results on September 3rd or later gotten their writing sample accepted? Worried at this point that my session has been flagged which is entirely possible because I had my backpack in the corner of my room which apparently triggers their system.
Hoping it goes through before the 18th so I can get my results back for August...
