After you go through your blind review and are 100% sure of the right and wrong answers, do you watch videos of the answers you got right and were 100% sure about?

Basically do you watch all of JY's explanation videos after Blind review even if you were confident in your reasoning of the answer choices and answered the question correctly?

Also, I will say if I'm unsure about any question or I got it wrong I watch the explanation videos.

Thank you! Just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of my blind reviews!

Hey Guys,

When taking the LSAT multiple times, if three scores are in the 140s and the fourth one is in the 160s low 170s with 7 months in between scores, will schools flag it or request an addendum or does it not matter?

Thank you in advance for the answers!

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user:]

How crucial is it to have the most recent PTs in Digital format? I have some PTs in paper form. And I still have a good amount of PT material left from my current 7Sage material.

Good Afternoon!

I previously took the LSAT last August and received a 166 and am signed up to take the LSAT again on October 3rd. I want to improve my score to ensure I get into the schools I want, but if I dont end up improving my score it's not the end of the world for me as I'll probably still get in. I wanted to post and get some advice on where to foucs my efforts leading up to the test. I only have about 15 hours a week or so to spend preparing as I'm also taking a heavy course load in school.

I know that logic games are my weakest section so I plan to spend the majority of my time on improving here. I also see that if I do the whole logic games section in 7sage it will take me upwards of 40 hours so I'm not sure if it's worth it to follow the whole ciriculum here. I would like to also spend a decent chunk of my time doing practice tests + some focused learning on the other sections.

So I'm wondering what people think is the best use of my time considering the limited time I have. Any feedback is apprecaited!

If I decide to take some time off from studying (1+ months) and cancel my 7Sage subscription, then later resume both studying and the subscription payment, will my progress be saved or will my 7Sage account start back from the beginning?

Hello. How screwed am i? My diagnostic was 150, and im booked for October LSAT. I can dedicate about 30-40 hours a week until my test date. Im only done 33.9% of the 7sage core curriculum. is this feasible? what is the best strategy?

I’ve been studying for the Lsat for about a month and a half now and feel like I have a lot of improvements to make. Should I sign up for the November Lsat just because it’s a flex? Should I try? Not aiming for a top 40 law school.

I don’t want to risk waiting until January to then find out the lsat will be back to normal

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to make up a large gap between timed test scores and blind review test scores. I have been scoring in the high 150s on timed tests and blind reviewing into the low 170s. Others posting in the forums do not seem to have such a large gap.

I thought doing more full timed tests to practice with the timing would help, but over 7-8 tests I have not seen any improvements. The gap is largely made up in LR and RC. Any suggestions? Would greatly appreciate any help!

hello, i recently switched over from Powerscore and the 7sage interface is quite different. I'm trying to take a practice test (digital) now but I can't figure out how to underline / highlight. any help would be appreciated. thanks!

edit: i already cleared my cache and my digital tester looks different than the version i have seen in other explanations on this forum

I'm scoring -0 ~ -3 on LG

but havent done any RC passages and am scoring -8 ~ -12 on LR so I don't think I'm ready for Nov even though I want to take the FLex.

What do you think are the chances that Jan will be a Flex??

I just got a popup that said something along the lines of "Wooo you broke the 170s barrier that's amazeballs" from JY. Is this an automated message that everyone gets, or was it personalized? I accidentally navigated away from the page and cannot find any way to see this again/respond. Does anyone else know?

Hello! I think this is something for the admins to handle, not sure where to post...

I took PT 86 on lawhub and in inputting my responses into the 7sage system, noticed that in the RC section, the final question (q 27) is missing. The question is "Given the information provided in the passage, which one of the following principles would most hep support Carrol and Chen's innovative argument, described in the fourth paragraph?" Currently the PT only has 26 RC questions on 7sage.

soooo I did the writing, and forgot to show my paper during room scan, might have even missed half of my desk too tbh but I don't remember, and realized I forgot after I started writing on it...so I thought it would be late to show them then. Is this a major problem? lol...

So I took the LSAT flex last week and I didn't feel terrible after. I thought that was a good sign considering I am someone who generally thinks of the worst case scenario (I never expect to do well and always anticipate worse than I actually did). However, my brain started over-thinking about my performance. Now, I'm worried that I didn't perform well and am anxiously waiting for scores to come out. I'm sure everyone deals with this to a degree, but I am just a super anxious and pessimistic person in general. So it's a bit hard for me to get my mind off the exam even though I know there's nothing I can do about it now. Any tips on maintaining a positive mindset? I feel like I'm spiraling lol

I don't want to do the complete test, I just want to do the timed individual section (for example I to drill all logic games from a certain PT) and then review just that section rather than the full test?

Since it's a flex exam, are international students allowed to take the November flex? Have people done this in the past with flex tests offered only in the U.S. and Canada?

Any guidance appreciated.

Hey everyone. I’m wondering if I should register to take the November flex. I recently finished the CC and scored a 169 on my first PT with LG as my weakest section. My goal score is 173+ so I am unsure if it is worth registering now or putting off my test date.

I don’t plan on applying for a while so I am not pressured in this way. However, I do feel that the flex is easier as it does not require as much endurance. For this reason, I feel slightly compelled to try the November test in case the flex is phased out afterwards.

Do you think I should register now or delay until a later date?

Hi all,

I'm wondering how many months of doing PTs is optimal before taking the official test for the first time.

I've been doing PTs for a month now...

149 diagnostic pre-CC, 157 post-CC, plateaued around 165, then the past three PTs (36,38,40) I've gotten 178, 167, 169.

Biggest weakness is LG, averaging -4/test.

Goal is to break 173.

I haven’t been doing BR because when I’m done with a PT I’m anxious to see my score. But I want to improve as much as possible and was wondering if there is a significant benefit to doing BR

Hello,

I'm currently trying to break 150. My diagnostic scores range from 134-147. I've made A LOT of progress with my scores since the beginning of this journey (my lowest score has been in the 20's LOL). Anyway, I think that I might not be doing the BR properly. I recently took a first PT Flex and had a score drop to 142. To be fair I haven't finished ALL of the LR section because it was getting really long so I took a "break" and moved onto LG. I will be going back of course. What tips do you suggest for an effective BR? What techniques have you used that work for you? I'm looking to take the LSAT in January and hoping to score around 150/155+.

hi guys!

i tried to take my LSAT writing yesterday (i took the august test) and i accidentally closed it out, so they reset the link today. and then i started today, i had a paragraph written and i got a notification that said recording stopped due to network failure (which was weird bc my wifi was working fine) and then i clicked close bc i didnt know what else to do and kept going, and then a few seconds later psi just shut down and kicked me out and now it says ive completed it on my lsac account. THIS IS SO ANNOYING and ive been on hold for 50 minutes, and i didnt even get to destroy my scratch paper or anything bc it was unexpected. god knows if theyre going to be ridiculous about it..i have a feeling im not going to be getting my score back on the 18th LOL since it takes up to 3 weeks to process and now its labor day weekend.

moral of the story; make sure ur 100% good to go in terms of tech and everything before u start the writing and show ur scratch paper at some point in the video bc they never give a specific time to show it. also show ur wrists and hands

sigh

Does anyone have any advice on how to improve on LR and RC? I have improved a little bit, went from -12 to -6 or 7 but I'm not sure what the best way to keep improving is.

Hi all,

So I just took the LSAT writing portion of the test and though I did show my scratch paper in the full room scan, I forgot to show both sides of the paper. Do you think they'll reprimand me for this?

Is there anyone who did the same and still had their sample accepted?

I'd appreciate any feedback here.

Just submitted my writing sample and after I submitted I noticed 3 small typos (like forgetting an "a" somewhere) - how badly will that affect me? I know this section isn't graded but also know that some schools read it in detail...

Hey all! I have always had strong accuracy, but struggled with timing. I am making improvements with speed, especially in the LG section which has historically been my slowest. I am at the point where I usually get 100% (or close to it) on the first three games and then have about 3 minutes left. This is enough time for me to set up my game board but not enough time to get to the questions. I usually do a little better at getting through RC but on my last PT I also on had about 3 minutes left going into the final passage. I read the passage and then ran out of time. Anyone have ideas about how to best use an awkward 3-4 mins on the fourth game or passage? Also, any other time improving strategies overall would be welcome. Thanks!
