I am totally lost with the 7sage interface. I thought I could click the recycle button when I am reviewing, or go back to "PrepTests" and click on the PT I wanted again, but no luck. I just can't figure out how to retake a part of a PT in the regular format in which I can cross out answers and have the correct answer hidden. I would appreciate any guidance here. #help

I am scoring just a few points under my goal score on the past couple PT and noticed a trend. For LR, I am usually getting 13/15 correct on the first 15, and then shit the bed on the last 10 ish and go -10 for test section. Does anyone have any similar problems? Should I just drill more difficult questions ? maybe i should skip 15-20 and jump to last 5 ?

thank you

This is a bit of a personal question but I wonder if anyone has any thoughts or has been in a similar situation.

My cold diagnostic LSAT test written end of May was 148 –my strongest to weakest sections were RC, LR, LG respectively. My goal score is anywhere in the low 160s. I have been studying with 7Sage since then and am about 80% through the course (just finishing LG but in need of some serious fool proofing time even after I finish). I have not done any timed section practices, or PTs as I was waiting until I was done with the CC.

I signed up for the August-Flex but now am reconsidering, as I really don't feel ready to write yet (not having finished the CC and haven't taken a PT since my diagnostic). I am wondering if I should:

  • Take the August-Flex anyways just to see how it goes and then if it goes poorly (under 160), register for the November test.
  • Request a coupon (which you can still do until August 21st), and re-schedule my test for November (I don't think I would reschedule for October as its only a month from the August date and if I'm rescheduling I may as well give myself a little extra time - I'm also doing full-time remote school in the fall and preparing my Law schools apps DUE in November).
  • Maybe I should take a day before the 21st to write a PT and see how I score to help make this decision? I had friends last summer who only took a month to three months for the LSAT and scored well enough for me, its making me feel like I should write it to get it over with? Or should I be patient and wait until I feel more ready? If I reschedule to November it could not be a flex anymore and no score preview but not sure if that is worth it?

    Not sure if anyone's been in this situation. I feel like the 7Sage community is so helpful so it couldn't hurt to reach out.

    Thank you for any thoughts!!

    Hi 7-sagers. I’m scheduled to take the August flex in a couple weeks. This I my first go around so I do not have a writing sample on file. For those that took the writing sample online, did you take it the day before? Also, is it possible to tale the writing sample after you take the LSAT? For example if I took the LSAT on a Saturday, could I take the writing portion the following Monday? Thanks

    I requested accommodations for the October LSAT and I am pretty certain I will get approved for 50% additional time. I'm wondering if I should do 50% additional time on practice sets and PTs, or if it would be beneficial to try to do it within the regular amount of time so when it comes time to do the actual test it will feel somewhat easier with the extra time?

    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!
