Hi all,

Does anyone have tips on studying for an online test? How are you taking the practice tests? How are you doing the drills? Are you printing anything out, or is it all digital? I've never taken a digital test and am very pessimistic about the format.

I'm hoping fellow Sagers can share some study tips that have helped them make the adjustment.

Thanks!

Planning to take in January, currently PTing in the mid 150s. I usually end up with LG -7ish/LR -9ish/RC -13ish. Blind reviews usually end up in the high 160s/low 170s. Scouring discussion boards/forums tells me that means I have a grasp of the fundamentals and for the most part know how to get to the right answer, it's just a matter of getting to the answer quicker. What are some ways that helped speed up your question answering process? I've seen people say that untimed or modified timed (say 40-45min per section) allows you to focus more on process/accuracy, and though it may seem counterintuitive, being able to lock in your process will speed things up. On the other hand there's the fact the LSAT is a timed test so the best way to practice for it is by timing yourself, plus the blind review is an untimed take anyway. Thanks for any feedback!

Hello fellow LSAT takers,

I recently read a thread that discussed scoring below the median just like me. I noticed there was a large out-poor of comments. Yet, I have been unable to find study groups for those whose performance is sub-par.

I was so grateful that someone finally posted about it.

Anyway, I am now extending an invitation to those in the same boat and anyone willing to help.

Feel free to drop a comment or join in group me. :)

Thank you to @daisyharding08 for organizing. This group is now closed.

Hi everyone! I have been studying for over a year and am preparing to take my second LSAT next month. I'm so proud of myself because I have improved about 14 points through self-study. I am now in the high 160s and have been here for about 3 months. I know I can improve but I've really struggled to make that final jump into the 170s. I'd love to hear advice from folks who have accomplished this. Thank you so much in advance for the help!!

Isn’t it a bit silly that they created new, more intellectual sounding words for things which already exist? It’s a d*** passage! Just call it that, you pretentious assholes!

Also, “question stem” instead of question? They might as well call talking “idea exchange” and thinking “stimuli sorting.”

Haha, sorry. Rant over. Logical reasoning is kicking my ass.

Good luck on your studies!

Is this a thing? I know I can go to "existing problem sets" but that only shows the LR questions I did in the CC and any of the logic games I've done. I did an LR section yesterday and closed the window and I don't know if there is anyway to get back to my answers, don't remember which ones I got wrong.

Hello all,

I just started with 7sage a few days ago. I am currently following the syllabus according to my test day. I see I have to go through lots of practice and videos to get to the end, almost 60 hrs. per week. however I see that others are commenting that is best to take a diagnostic test to see where I stand and that way focus on the material am having more trouble with. can anyone point me on the right direction? as to where is this test located ( i have search the site and don't see anything label as diagnostic test) all I see is a list of pre-test, if those are it, then which one do I choose?

thanks

So I took the J07 test as recommended and I got a 141/156 BR. Yikes.... I feel like trash...Clearly, I have sooo much work to do. I am aiming for the high 160s/170 would be a dream come true. I guess I am curious to know how others have done on their diagnostic?

Hi! I'm new here. Is there a way to take PTs on 7sage that are flex? The course that I was using before would do the full length LSAT PTs but would take out an LR section and the experimental to resemble the flex test. Is that a possibility on 7sage?

We all know that social media engagement can be a source of validation in what we're posting on Instagram or Facebook, but I never thought that I could feel so validated by having some of my comments liked on 7sage.

For months I have been refraining from commenting too much on explanation videos because I thought I had nothing to say that hasn't already been said. I've also just been really intimidated by the geniuses on here lol. But I was exploring 7sage today and realized that I could view my past comments under the "Discussion" tab. And some of the comments I've made have actually been helpful to others! I have a few likes here and there and even a reply that my comment helped another student understand the question.

I've been so intimidated by everyone on here that I've refrained from really engaging in some of the discussions. But as it turns out, I actually have a solid grasp on at least some of the concepts on here! And I'm sure that's the same for so many people on here. I know JY says this at the beginning of the syllabus but I'm on here to reiterate it: don't be afraid of adding in your two cents! Even if you're not PTing in the 170's, you have useful and informative things to say that can help other people.

I just received my best score yet on a PT and also just received validation from some of my "likes" and I can't help but think maybe I'm on the right track after all. :')

Hey everyone! So I have been going through some of the free trial material and I think have decided that I will be signing up for ultimate+. My question is why does the schedule have you take all prep tests back to back once you go through the lessons? Is it common or should i take prep tests in between weeks? Should I also take the 2007 LSAT diagnostics test first or go over some material before taking it?

Thank you!

Just started seriously studying 3 days ago, and plan on taking the LSAT in April. I purchased a 7sage sub today but it's telling me I would need to study 57 hours a week. I could probably swing 20 hours a week but that's it. Do I have enough time?

Hello everyone,

Coming to the community for some advice! I am planning on applying to law school November 2021 and have been studying since June 2020, with breaks in between and doing an internship full-time. My internship is transitioning to 20 hours per week until the end of January and I will be done with it then. Next steps after that is to find full-time employment to sustain me until Law School and study for the LSAT. For 2021 I am part of law fellowship that will be preparing me for the application process and they make us take the August 2021 LSAT and encourage us to to law school by November 2021. The fellowship will be providing a powerscore class from June- August; I have currently been using 7sage, Loophole and in the past Blueprint (not for me).

I was considering on taking the January 2021 LSAT but my score is in the mid-140s and want to get it at 165 for admissions. Do y'all recommend taking the test at least once before the August test date and push the January test date to February or April, or build up my score for the August test date.

I would appreciate any advice on how to schedule my studying! Thank you

For those of you who have already taken the lsat, how did your average preptest score relate to your actual score? In other words, say I want to score a 160 on the actual test, what should be my average score on preptests? (Also, this is referring to the flex)

Does anybody know (or have a guess) if LSAC is planning to keep the FLEX throughout 2021 or after April Flex will actually go back to the 4 hour exam?

I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth practicing all four sections + an experimental

I think it would help me with my stress and focus on the exam if I can read passage out loud . But is it permissible?

I just finished my LSAT Prep Test June 2007 (timed & blind review) and the curriculum showed me my score and answer sheet then took me to Main Point & Main Conclusion Questions. Do I continue with the curriculum or am I supposed to review the answers of my PT first?

I decided sort of late in the game that now would be a good time to go to law school. I registered for the October 2020 test in July. I got a 167 on my diagnostic test. I studied with Magoosh (because I had a great experience with them on the GRE) but I was working full time at a restaurant trying to make as much money as possible before we shut down again so I really didn't study as much as I should have. I got a 168 on the October Flex. I felt that given that I had done well without much studying, I could re-take, really apply myself, and have a good shot at getting above 170.

I signed up for 7Sage and when I'm doing the lessons I feel like I'm learning a lot. Lots of ah ha moments. However, I've now taken three prep tests on 7Sage and scored 163, 164, and 165 respectively. On Blind Review on the first two I got a 170, but the last one I was honestly so discouraged I got kind of lazy on Blind Review and only got my score to a 168. I am so frustrated. I'm spending a lot of time studying and I've gotten significantly worse. It's KILLING my confidence and I am afraid to take the LSAT in January because I went from feeling great about it to feeling hopeless. I took prep tests July-Sept on the LSAC site and scored between 165-168. I'm wondering if the 7Sage format has something to do with it? I can't understand how I've gotten so much worse.

I've focused a lot of my time on 7Sage on LR because I felt I had the most room for improvement there, but I'm seeing no improvement and now LG is suffering. I'm kicking myself for delaying my apps when I could have applied with the 168, but please don't pile on in this regard telling me what I should have done. I really thought I was making the best call at the time based on the information I had (including my success up to that point).

Any advice?

Hey, does anyone know of a reliable way to simulate the LSAT-flex environment? I already switched to using LSAC's interface to take my practice tests (which is HORRIBLE compared to 7sage's interface) but using the 4 section LSAT proctor video doesn't seem right.

Does anyone else's videos keep going down to 1x after choosing another speed? I have to repeatedly click 2x every 1-2 seconds.

I don't know if it's a glitch or just my computer. If it's just me, how can I fix this?

Any LSAT tutors live in the Hudson Valley, NY or Albany NY, or someone who lives in Westchester, NY.

I've recently seen quite a few people saying PT's from the 30's, 40's, and 50's are relatively easier than the newer tests. Should I skip those and only PT newer ones?

Hey guys, does anyone use discord to pass information along in an easier way? If anyone is interested, let's start one!

Hi! I’m in search of a tutor for the January LSAT. This isn’t my first time taking the test, and I’m looking for someone that can help me break my plateau. My goal score is a 160, and I just need someone to push me, and provide me with some motivation that I am lacking. I am ready ASAP so interested tutors please contact me for one-on-one sessions. I am looking for regular sessions more than once on a weekly basis until the exam. Obviously the exam is not far away so I need someone who is ready to commit to me, as I will to them. I am a diligent student, I’m just feeling frustrating with my lack of improvement.

DM on the forum.
