Hi everyone,
So I am currently registered for the August Flex. I've been studying since May and I've averaged a 154 across 7 prep tests post CC and this has been while avoiding guesswork as much as possible- if I don't get to a question, I just leave it blank.
Generally I miss around 20 or so questions per PT. This includes an entire RC passage, an entire LG and probably 5-7 LR questions.
With my GPA I really only need a 157 or 158 to have a good chance of being admitted to a Canadian Law School.
My thinking is that even now, were I just to guess on those last 20 or so questions, I would come very close to these scores. This is without factoring in any improvement I see by August. Then of course there's the test day penalty to consider as well...
I am really at loss of what to do here. I'm not sure whether I should just go for this cycle, write in August and potentially again in October/November, or whether I should take as much time as I need and just apply for the following cycle.
For reference, I'm averaging around -8 on LR, -9/-10 on LG and a paltry -11 on RC right now (I've neglected RC quite a bit up to this point.)
I would appreciate any suggestions or advice because honestly I am at a loss right now.
I've taken a diagnostic and scored a 146. I was wondering which study plan would be the most effective. Right now I'm on the grammar section. Assuming that I have enough time to do all these options, which study method is better?
Hi,
I started studying LSAT on April. It has been about 5 months. I have improved about 10 points from very first test. However, this is where I stand now. I have no improvement anymore for about a month already. I am currently taking like 3 PrepTests per week. All tests and BR came out to be around the same result with no improvement. I feel like I am stuck. Would any of you please share how to improve more? I need to get at least 10 more points. My weakness is RC. However, any tips for any section would be appreciated. Thank you so much. I am stuck and stressed.

Hi!
I am feeling super discouraged because my prep tests keep fluctuating, is this normal? I just took my 6th PT and I got my worst score. Absolutely bombed RC and LR. Any advice for those sections? Some days i’ll feel super confident due to my score and other days this will happen and I start to lose hope. Any advice is appreciated.
I caught myself reading out loud, very quietly, under my breath while taking PTs. Is this a habit the microphone will pick up? Will the proctor interrupt and request I remain silent during testing?
Just curious. Hoping to hear from those who have already written the flex.
I would love to create problem sets with some of my starred questions without having to go through individual PTs. Is this possible? Thanks!
Hey so I realize your courses are not finalized and this is why they are not availible. However, I'm sure that many of us, myself included, would like to purchase access to get a head start on our courses. I wouldn't mind paying upfront for what's been currently completed even if its not 100% complete.
let us know if this is viable. Thank you for making taking the LSAT & law school supplements so accessible and affordable.
Hey everyone! Looking for some partners to study for the upcoming October LSAT with! I've taken the LSAT once before, and want to do at least 6 points better this next time. Hmu if interested!
Can I use my Apple Pencil in conjunction with my iPad?
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know why there would be a "No" under the withdrawal section on my LSAC account? I am currently registered for both August & October and do not plan on taking August anymore. Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks!
Why are my video explanations taking forever to load? Some aren't even loading for me.
Hi everyone,
I have a pretty heavily marked-up The Loophole and a lightly marked-up LSAT Trainer that I'd rather not throw away. Free to pick-up for anyone in the NYC area (West Chelsea). Also happy to ship if you're able to cover shipping costs.
DM me if interested; first come, first serve.

Why when i take PTs, i score low 150s consistently, but when i do the blind review, i score 165+ on almost all of them? Personally i do not get to see around 20 questions because i am too slow to get to them all (at least 5/section), but i tried to speed up and my score tanked as a result. Any ideas of what i can do? Thanks guys
Hi,
is anyone else having this problem? It seems that in the past 24 hours all PTs can no longer be downloaded / printed. Any advice on this would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
Good evening all,
For some reason I can't access any PrepTests. Fortunately I am done with the LSAT, but I forgot that I had to do a writing sample (lol), so I just came on to look at a few previous writing sections. My account is set to expire in 4 days and the message that I get when I try to access tests is that I am not linked to an LSAT Prep Plus account. I never had this issue/this message never came up before and I was using preptests on this site long after the transition to the LSAC Prep Plus stuff. I am wondering if anyone can help me clear up this issue?
Thanks!!
Hey guys! Thinking of taking the LSAT in December. Thank you 7sage - things are amazing so far. I want to gauge my studying. Is everyone completeing EVERY problem set in addition to EVERY practice exam? Thanks
We are very proud of 7Sage's Admissions Consultant, Shruti Swamy, whose new collection of short stories is out! See below for more details.
A House Is a Body: Stories
Dreams collide with reality, modernity with antiquity, and myth with identity in the twelve arresting stories of A House Is a Body. In "Earthly Pleasures," a young painter living alone in San Francisco begins a secret romance with one of India's biggest celebrities, and desire and ego are laid bare. In "A Simple Composition," a husband's professional crisis leads to his wife's discovery of a dark, ecstatic joy. And in the title story, an exhausted mother watches, hypnotized by fear, as a California wildfire approaches her home. Immersive and assured, provocative and probing, these stories reveal small but intense moments of beauty, pain, and power that contain the world. A House Is a Body introduces a bold and original voice in fiction, from a writer at the start of a stellar career.

How do I know if My request gets approved? Where on my account do I look? Also I read it could take 14 days, has anyone gotten them back sooner?
Hey all,
I'm taking the August LSAT. As a backup plan, I am considering enrolling in the October LSAT as well. Does anyone know what the refund policy is for the LSAT. If I feel like I did well on the August LSAT, it would be cool if I could get a refund for the October LSAT.
I took the July 2020 LSAT, when is the time to do the writing section? Is there a time limit? Is it done online with a proctor?
Hey guys!!! I feel like i really need some accountability. I have finished the course material and have done a lot of PT but i feel like my graph has gotten flat now plus i'm losing motivation. I'm aiming for a 170+ score so the next one month is going to be HARD CORE. Lemme know if you want to go crazy with me. Fierce girl power is ON.
I'm in IST time zone so having someone around this timezone would be perfect BUT i am open to adjust honestly.
I speak fluent English. :)

Hi everyone,
I'm planning to take the August Lsat and was wondering if ya'll have any study tips, advice, articles for the last month of prep? Thank you.
Hi guys LR is my most consistent section but it seems like the questions I always get wrong are flaw questions. I’ve already been over the flaw curriculum in 7Sage so many times and still having issues anyone know any other resources for those types or advice? Also for those of you taking the flex at the end of this month are you changing up your studying since it’s getting close? I’ve decided to simulate flex tests as much as possible just to get used to the timing and flow because like I said LR is my saving grace so now I have to make sure I’m quicker and better in LG and RC since I won’t have the extra LR points to rely on.
Any tips on RC? I’ve improved but still my worst section. If u have noticed any patterns in wrong/right answer choices for RC please tell me my brain gets the LR ones but still not as good in RC really could use tips like desperately haha
I'm currently an undergrad student and I've been studying for the LSAT very seriously since Feb 2020. I've done the CC and have been practice testing since June. I've taken about a month off from studying because I had a full-time internship that took up my whole day. I'm signed up for the August LSAT and was wondering if anyone had advice on how to quickly get back in the groove of things?
For context: Scoring in low 170s and want to be around that range for test day -- thanks!
