Need Advice!

Hello 7sagers,

I am a graduating senior this Fall 2020 and I wanted to ask how you guys are able to balance a rigorous workload (school, work, etc..) and study for the LSAT as well. I've been able to study consistently these past couple of weeks because of summer classes being pretty lax, but as the school year picks up its going to become more difficult. I'm a little anxious because of how the semester might be, so I'm reaching out for advice. I have a couple of questions down below you can answer, but if you have any other advice you can offer don't hesitate to drop a comment! Thanks for all your help and I appreciate it in advance.

What were ways you used to relieve stress?

What were some metrics you used to measure your growth?

How do you maintain a healthy work - life balance?

How long does it generally takes to get through most of the core curriculum until the point that you are doing strictly practice tests ? I do mean in such a way that you are actively learning and not attempting a speed run ! Obviously everyone learns at different speeds and has different schedules ! So feel free to ball park it or give a rough estimate.

I am just trying to figure out how much time I have to realistically learn before my test.

Thanks, and as always you rock !

Has anyone received confirmation from LSAC that it is okay to use the search function (Ctrl-F) during the test? Also even if LSAC approves it, would it be any potential miscommunication with the Proctor U staff during the test day?

Hello, I was just wondering where the option is to buy a couple tests here on 7sage? I only have access to the low 70's right now as I am only an Ultimate member. I remember seeing an option for it a couple months back, but maybe things have changed now? Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi guys,

I know this is a boring and impossible-to-guess question, but I can't stop worrying about it 😂. Does anyone have any idea? I'll probably call a representative sometime this week

Is there a way to make the 7sage lsat reading comp section more like the real thing? I read somewhere that when words are referenced in line numbers, they are automatically highlighted in the digital LSAT so we don’t have to search for them. Is this true & is there a way to do it with the 7sage LSAT?

Hi everyone! I'm consistently seeing a gap between my actual and BR scores on the prep tests, where my actual scores are in the mid 160s and my BRs are mid-high 170s. This is usually driven by my RC and LR sections - I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for bridging this gap?

I'm taking the August LSAT so looking for anything I can do that could help me improve my score in two weeks. Any tips would be helpful, thanks all!

My diagnostic score was a 153. I plan to take the LSAT in January which gives me roughly 6 months. I plan to study 1-2 hours every day 5 days a week and take 1 PT a week starting mid October. Is it possible to hit 168? My lowest by far was RC. I haven't delved into the course content yet on it because im doing logic games. Should I be working on that right now since I started studying or is it ok if I do LR and LG and then move to RC?

Good morning! I am trouble linking my 7Sage with LSAC's Prep Plus. I have previously linked my account with Princeton Review so I am wondering if this is what is causing the issue. How do I fix this problem so that I can prep using 7Sage instead. I have paid for the service through 7Sage and have the activation link though it is not working. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi guys,

Is the negation of "many" "none" or just "not many"? I think the negation is "none" because "many" implies "more than 1" and how many it exactly implies depends on different contexts. Did any lesson cover this?

Thanks in advance!

I understand that having experience in the legal field would separate a person from other applicants and boost admission chances. However, if I did not have any legal experience yet had an above average GPA and LSAT score would I still have a good chance of admission? Basically, how necessary is working in or having an internship in law in applying to law school? I'm going into my senior year and I have a 4.0 GPA and am aiming to score in the 170s for my real test (I scored 164, 175 BR today on a practice test). This year I am also going to write an Honors Thesis for my major so I don't know if I will have the time to obtain a legal internship until the summer. I plan to apply in October of next year.

Hi, I started studying for LSAT in June but joined 7sage just a week ago.

As I already have done something equivalent to core curriculum, now I'm on PTs.

I scored 151 on my untimed cold test in May and am aiming for 167 in October.

I've done PTs from 1 to 5 scoring 160 or 161.

I planned to take LSAT in January 2021 but felt the need to push myself harder and $45 score preview motivated me to shoot for October.

Now as I know I don't have enough time to do all the PTs before the test unfortunately,

I would really appreciate some advice from those studying for or who have achieved high-rise in short term.

  • Should I focus on latest PTs? or do random ones? (I'm expecting to do 4 PTs and BRs a week which sum up 28PTs before Oct.)
  • Any other advice on 7-week study schedule?
  • Thanks!

    I've already taken the PTs in the 70s and 80s and I want to retake them. Is there anyway I could just create another fresh copy for the whole preptest? I only saw an option to delete my first take - which would also delete the wrong answer data that were used for analytic purposes

    Please let me know if I'm missing something obvious (lol). Thanks!

    I am scheduled for 230 pm on the 29th and was wondering if anyone had any tips/recommendations on what to do (OR NOT TO DO) that morning and the day before test day? I am thinking just waking up getting little workout in just to do something but not sure what else... thank you and good luck to all August test takers.. go get what's yours.

    With just under three weeks until the August flex, I am persistently testing 156. I have tested higher, and reached my goal of 160 once last week. 160 is my goal, but I can't seem to make it stick. A 156 on flex is really only 4-5 questions off of a 160, but I am struggling to close the gap. Any suggestions on how to get those extra points in the final stretch? My weaknesses continue to be both LG and RC. Wondering if I should reschedule until Oct or give this one a shot (first write). I'd love to hear your experiences with score fluctuations in the final few weeks of study :)
