Hello,

I did not think I would be writing this question but I am in a very strange place. I have been studying for the LSAT for many months but I joing 7Sage very recently. I am debating moving my test date from Nov to Jan, because I had plans to teach aboard strating in Jan but with the Covid situation being very unstable it is likely that I will not be departing as planned. I am personally, very torn about what I should do because if I take the test in Jan, I am worried I will be to late to apply this cycle but I could keep studying. (fyi not going for a T14.)

However, there is the possibility that even if I took the LSAT in Nov and applied this cycle, my travel and teaching would be pushed to Sept 2021 and I would have to defer admission. I have to make a decision about this before the 30 of Oct because that is the last day to change without a fee, however, I will not know about my status until the week of Nov 15. (same as test week...)

I would really appericate some advice on the matter and outside viewpoints.

I just wanted say thank you to all you wonderful people. On my third attempt, I've still scored lower than my PT average (thanks test anxiety), but I've decided to move on and apply with what I have----169 (shredder be damned), which I am beyond thrilled with. I was set on retaking in November, but I realized that I've reached the point of diminishing returns, and now it's time to leave the obsessiveness, which has served me well to this point, behind.

I've loved using 7Sage all this time---nearly a year. J.Y.'s videos have been awesome, and the supporting team and community have been likewise. Feel free to AMA if you care to.

Can you highlight stuff during the exam?

hey guys, does any one have tips on highlighting with MacBook, on RC passages, and LR premises?

So I'm taking the November LSAT and my score had slowly been increasing with each PT and I was scoring in the low 160s and starting to climb even higher, I took a PT yesterday and out of nowhere I got a 154, I bombed the LR and RC hard and with the test so close I'm kinda freaking out, idk if I should cancel my test or just ignore this PT or what. Any advice?

Do you think the may June and July tests will be flex?

So, I got my October flex score back...148. I knew after how terrible the LG section was that it would be bad...but wow. I was PT’ing around 154, which I already wasnt happy about because I have been studying for a year now. Last year when I took it in July, I got a 150. I cancelled because I figured a year from then I would be doing much better...but no. Im truly confused on what to do. Im registered for November, I will take a PT and see how im doing and worst comes ill move it to January. Either way, I want to apply this cycle and seeing what happens. I had a 3.92 from Howard U and am a URM. Great extracurriculars, unique PS/DS, strong work history...its just this LSAT.

Everything is already going way off of my plans. I didn’t initially plan on taking a year off, but here I am. I don’t regret it because I have a great paralegal job and am getting great experience...but I have to face the decision of potentially taking another year off. What if I do and my score is STILL the same? Towards the end of my studies for October, I got a tutor and I realized I haven’t been studying correctly. Thats the only thing giving me hope. In the 4 weeks I had a tutor, I didn’t see a score improvement but I did notice I looked at LR a bit questions differently. I honestly dont know how to feel still..or what to do. I want nothing more than to be a lawyer and really want to go to Stanford or Berkeley.

Any words of motivation, advice or stories of personal experience would be much appreciated.

Has anyone received an email from the LSAC about scheduling a time to take the Nov 2020 LSAT?

Got a 167 on October!! Also if anyone is really struggling with LG, message me. I’ve been helping people with LG for about 2 months now!

Hi everyone. I wanted to ask for advice regarding the application process. I'm debating whether I should turn in my application in December with an alright LSAT score (around 150s meh), but would it be better to turn in the application in January if I retake the LSAT then and have a better LSAT score? And is turning applications in January too late for a good chance of acceptance? My GPA is on the low side. I would greatly appreciate any advice! Thank you!!

I just did a PT and looks like RC is really holding me back form breaking 160(LR-4,LG-1,RC-16), anyone have any advice as to how to improve RC in the coming weeks? I'm taking Nov LSAT, I know RC is hard to improve in short amount of time but I'm willing to work hard and can commit to study full time.

I’m soo happy I’m in shock! I got a 164 on the October flex which is right at BCs median and my GPA Is above their 75th percentile and it’s my top choice. Thanks everyone for all the help on here!!

Hello hello. I am scoring around 165 in actual but 172-173 in BR. My LR takes the biggest hit during timed.

Was wondering what this gap meant. Does this mean I understand the test a decent amount and now need to focus on not losing my sh*t during timed? Or...hm. How would you study/approach this for the next two months? (I'm planning to take the November and January FLEX). Any advice would be appreciated. TY

Looking for someone currently PT'ing in the mid-high 150's to review LR only. Please comment if interested.

(3 people MAX due to the Zoom restrictions on meetings)

All else being equal, what #s are the "best" PTs to be taking as you head into test day? I've been taking PTs from all over and would like to know if there are any that I should be focusing before November.

Wow! Just got my October results back and went from 151->163 in about 12 weeks. The total cost of 7Sage during that time was just about $200 but in reality has saved me tens of thousands through potential scholarships and gives me the chance to gain admission to schools with fantastic outcomes that were not possible before. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that 7Sage can give you truly life altering results.

Hey everyone! I just checked my admission ticket and it is blank on the testing center and states LSAT FLEX on the testing center assigned. I know I specifically chose a center closest to home so I was wondering why it is blank and if this will update once the admission ticket becomes available to us. Thanks everyone!

I have to share this, I’ve been back and forth with this LSAT for a long time. I just need to share that I have siblings that are lawyers and I can tell you that they have no time for living. I’ve become more aware of it lately. I’d highly recommend that everyone considering becoming a lawyer really look into the profession and the time that it will take from your life. I have decided today after really noticing and seeing the time, effort, dedication, and family sacrifice it takes to be a successful attorney that it’s not the profession for me. It just “clicked” today. You have to know what your getting yourself into. Thanks for reading, just my two cents.

Is it possible to delete problem sets from the practices on 7sage. If it is, how do you do it?

Could someone please explain to me the difference between the regular PT's and use the flex simulation.

understand it is shorter but just wondering how things are cut out etc. Are most people just using the regular versions of PT'ing instead of Flex simulation?

Thanks in advance!

So I am super late to the game but just recently figured out that CAS is not 45 dollars total but 195 dollars plus 45 for each school. I definitely can't afford that for every school on my list. I indicated that I did not need assistance paying for the LSAT and could afford it but dropping more than a grand on applications between their fees and CAS is something I cannot afford to do. I am worried that applying for a fee waiver will take longer than I can afford to wait to apply though. For those of you that have done it, how long did a decision take?

Hey fellow LSATers,

I'm scheduled to take the test in January, and started studying the first week of October. I average about 2 hours during the weekdays and 8 total on the weekends (~20hrs per week). It's a schedule I've been able to stick to really well.

Its tough to balance studying and working full-time. Has anyone done something similar/have any tips? At this point I have kind of accepted I'll have to re-take the test again with more rigorous studying, but I want to give the January one my best possible.

Appreciate any help!

Closed for now - will update as I figure out if I can handle more people. If you came in after the comment I posted below, I will be in contact if I can free up some more time.

Hey all! Am looking to tutor 1-2 people at no cost. Would like them to have:

While those aren't hard rules, I believe that if you have yet to break into the high 150's, you would be better served by focusing on the CC and drilling games. No expert, but I think sub-160 scores indicate the need for work on foundational concepts, and it's hard to beat what you already have here on this site... I definitely can't teach it better than that.

I benefited a lot from just a few lessons with a couple tutors here, and would like to help someone else while hopefully refining my own approach to this test. If interested, hit me up and we can discuss. Obviously fit is important, so I want to make sure what I can offer will help you (and by extension help me!). Will maintain this post with pertinent updates.

Edit 10/22/20 1019Z: Thanks for all the responses! Wasn't expecting that much traffic after just 30 minutes. Posted a temporary cutoff comment below so I can be sure to get back to everyone.

Edit 10/22/20 1043Z: Everyone should have comms from me. Will update once I get a feel for my capacity. Would love to work with as many people as I can handle!

I had lots of transfer credit from multiple universities and multiple community colleges. These were not the problem in and of themselves, but I feel they muddied the waters to allow for the actual problem to happen.

I had two F's for remedial algebra coursework from not withdrawing. These remedial courses were not supposed to be calculated but they were. I called for them them to recalculate and my gpa it is now no longer in the 2's. I just thought I would throw this out there. They are humans calculating this stuff and are prone to errors like anything else. Good luck out there.

Is anybody else having trouble logging into LSAC on a Mac? Not just today, but in general. I've tried on three browsers, cleared cache, cleared cookies, private browsing, etc but I always get stuck on the screen with the blue background with a spinning blue wheel next to my cursor. Once in a while I can log into LawHub, but for about a month I haven't been able to log into LSAC. I have been able to do it on my PC at work, so it's not my account. Help!! November approaches...
