I am looking for an affordable tutor who can also tutor another person along with me for the November LSAT. Please help currently panicking. @leeanacummings

Has anyone applied early decision to their first choice law school and received an email from the dean of admission? I'm wondering if this is a good sign. If anyone has an experience like this please please let me know.

So I took the August flex and completed my writing sample on 9/11. Unfortunately, my writing sample results are still pending so I have not received my score. I am currently going a little insane and pretty restless. I have not been able to get anything productive done due to the anxiety surrounding score release. Any tips for maintaining sanity and work ethic during this time ? I'm thinking of starting my applications but having a bit of trouble on the motivation front

Hi All-

As I'm sure every 7sager can empathize with, the LSAT is one of the most mentally grueling tasks they've ever encountered. My journey began in September of 2018 and I was under the assumption that you could take the LSAT an unlimited amount of times so I made the not so wise choice to make the first time I ever even looked at an LSAT be an official test. I got a 142. I had no idea the work that I needed to put in to get where I am today. I purchased a grossly overpriced one-on-one tutor, wasted 4 months, and took the test again in October of 2019 and got a 147. Until I found 7sage in December of 2019.

The free trial got me hooked because I could go at my own pace, there was no fluff and bulls**t that name brand tutor platforms were spewing about being ready after 12 weeks and thousands of dollars later. The premise of 7sage to me was simple: this education is a great value, we will give you the tools you need to succeed, but the onus is on your to put the work in to see the results. I loved J.Y.'s sense of humor, intellect, and true understanding of the task at hand because he went through it himself. On the July LSAT-Flex in 2020, I received a 156. Which was a fantastic jump and something I was proud of, but my highest score on a PT was a 163, which I only attained one time. I knew I had one last shot to take the test and feel like the years of anguish and studying I put in had to be for something. On the August LSAT-Flex, I received a 162. This may not be the dream score of many people, and there is always a little gremlin on my shoulder asking if I could have done better, but I know it's my dream score because it was my very best. That's such an important takeaway that I wanted to share with everyone. Do your absolute best so when your LSAT journey is over, which I promise it is finite, you can be proud of yourself. This journey has to be something you want and you can't do it for anyone else.

I wish everyone the best of luck on their journeys! Never give up and in my opinion, your dream score should be what you think your absolute best can be. Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to the potential within yourself.

Happy Studying & Thank You 7Sage!!! (3(/p)

Any idea when exam schedule will be released for November LSAT?

Is iMac allowed for Flex test? Anyone tried before? If so, how did you show the room to your proctor in the beginning? Thank you!

I still don't have a writing portion done on the lsat, I was wondering if anyone had any tips, or helpful videos for doing this portion.

I am currently registered for the October LSAT but switch my registration to the November exam. Does anyone know how to do that in the LSAC account?

By applecare support, I found a folder within that belongs to lawhub, and on one mac it takes up 50GB!!!! and on my new mac, which I used to access lawhub, it takes up 600GB!! I was wondering if it's okay to delete those files (they were under library>applicationsupport>google>chrome>default>indexedDB>https_lawhub.lsac.org_0.indexeddb.blob)

Do anyone have the same problem? I

was able to locate the folder by applecare support people. I was worried that if I deleted them, it would cause problems when I take my flex. (I tried deleting it on one of the computers and lawhub works fine, but felt insecure about what would happen during real-time flex).

Hi all!

I'm registered for Nov LSAT thought I would be in US by last week.

But the situation has changed and apparently I'm not in states.

Is it available to take a test for US/Canada but from outside of those countries?

Please share your info!

Hey yall!

I had closed my account after the August Flex. But I'm a splitter and I think I can achieve an even better LSAT score for the November test if my PTs were any indication, so now Im back babyyyyyyy!

But anyway, I'm wondering if anyone is in a similar situation as far as having gone through almost all the recent PT's. Not only that, but I've found that I've only got about 10 clean and fresh PTs out of ALL of them. Now those 10 PTs will be enough for the five weeks or so that I have left to study, but they're very old. Has anyone found it helpful to retake already completed PTs? Or have general tips or strategies they use when they've already gone through all of the core curriculum/most of the questions?

Thanks!

Really quickly I just wanted to hop on and say thank you JY so much for creating 7sage. It was definitely the reason I was able to improve so quickly. I was working full time and studying for about two hours a day. The video lessons, explanations, and problem sets were so easy to follow and the app made fitting in lessons so easy. Congrats to everyone who took the August Flex!

What's the difference between different days? Like I signed up for thurdsay for October because I was like, all things equal, more time is better for me but not if there's an increase in difficulty? This is a huge concern that I can't find any information and I'd really appreciate any information on the difference in test experiences between the days. Otherwise I'll take the 3rd, I just found out that you can take it later in the week. obviously this is time sensitve.

Background

I toyed with the idea of going to law school around March, but I wasn't sold on it. I was nervous to take the LSAT and was unsure of the career outcomes. I had a solo road trip from Florida to Colorado, so I decided to listen to some podcasts about law and the LSAT.

Luckily, I stumbled upon the 7Sage podcast and all of David's wonderful interviews. I binged on every episode during my 2-day drive. Hearing from 7Sage students and admissions staff was eye-opening and inspirational. This is one of the best free resources regarding law school admissions that I have found -- and trust me, I've listened to a ton of videos and podcasts lol.

Studying for the LSAT

I took a cold diagnostic on Khan Academy and received a 158. At this time, I imagined UF to be my ultimate goal. All I needed were a few more points! But Khan's structure left me unsatisfied, and I was scoring between 156 and 163 after a few weeks of studying.

I knew the free option wasn't going to work, so I signed up for 7Sage. JY's explanations were exactly what I needed, but I found the comments to be the real secret to my success. We all know how JY can say an answer is just wrong without an explanation, so it helped to see others explain why a certain AC didn't work.

Going through the CC helped me learn the test, and I started to score in the low 160s. I knew I had more to learn so I followed this schedule:

Monday-Friday: 1-3 hours of studying (I would do 2 or 3 timed sections or go over lessons on key concepts)

Saturday: Full PT and BR after

Sunday: Go over all flagged and wrong answers

Hitting 170

My routine helped me get to the mid 160s, but I felt like my scores were not consistent. So I focused on each section for 1 week at a time to see if I could master them.

Monday - Friday, I would do 2-3 timed sections of a specific section or question type. RC was the most important, and 1 week of studying it helped me get to a -3 consistently.

At this point, I averaged 169-171.

The Real Deal

My first real LSAT (July 2020) was a 166. I was happy but also let down. I knew I could do better.

So I took a week off and then did 2 practice tests per week. I also reviewed every wrong answer I ever got on any PT. This helped me see old mistakes that I may never have corrected.

Finally, I scored a 170 on the August LSAT.

Thanks again JY!

Other small tips:

So could anyone give me some advice on LR timing?

I had some suggestion such as

Could anyone give me their advice?

I am currently in a bit of a panic because I made the decision to pursue law school for the 2021 Fall term only at the end of July of this year and I am not improving my LSAT much at all from my diagnostic. I am taking the Oct LSAT (almost certainly erasing my score) and the Nov LSAT.

I am currently PTing at about 148-150. My Blind Review scores are closer to the mid-upper 160s which. I am hoping for a 158-160 for the schools that I am applying to, as most of them have a median of 155-157. I am becoming less confident with my abilities to reach a 158ish by Nov.

How much will I be hurting/helping myself if I test in January and apply closer to February? Or is it more wise to hold off a year?

Any thoughts or recommendations are more appreciated than I can put into words. Thank you.

175 on the August Flex!

However, I've already paid for and cannot get a refund for October. I think there's a 50/50 chance I could improve on 175 based on my PTs, but therefore a 50/50 shot I score worse. Really hoping to earn as much scholarship money as possible, so I think improving that score would be beneficial. But my question is, is there risk to a retake? That is, if I get a 172, 173, will that hurt my chances at a top school?

Further context maybe relevant is I have a low (3.36) gpa from a top ten undergrad.

So I set an alarm to get up just before 1 AM local time to register for a time for the October LSAT Flex as soon as registration became available. At 1:10 AM local time I got the email, immediately created a Proctor U account and tried to register for a time. No times available anywhere within a 6 hourish range. I asked for chat support to schedule me a time. I specified noon local time on the 8th. I was given the option of the 9th at 730ism AM, or late night on the 8th so that I would be taking the exam after midnight locally. How are they this unprepared? I registered for neither and am trying to contact LSAC, but I can not reach them by Skype on the phone since they have blocked Skype number so no resolution thus far. It is now 2:15 in the morning and I have work tomorrow. Still trying to figure out what to do. This is unacceptable.

I'm trying to call the LSAC at 215-968-1001 to change my test date, but the line is continuously busy even though it usually has an automated menu. Is anyone else having this difficulty? I'd like to change it to Nov test, but the registration deadline is tomorrow, so not sure how I'm supposed to change it by then.

Hi, I have a problem when testing my laptop by ProctorU.

It shows my camera width and height could not be found, while I allowed my camera on the website and I could see myself.

Does it happen to anyone else?

Thanks!

I took the LSAT Flex in June and wasn't used to the format. Is there a way we can take the practice tests in this format to get used to it?

So I don't know if it's too late to petition to change my October Exam to November, but if it is I do have a question and I'm not sure which is wiser; should I change to November? Some background info; not applying this year, retaking a 163, underperformed last time and afraid to repeat, pting average of -.6 LG, -4.3 RC, -2.5 LR over past 10ish tests.

Flex places a higher importance on RC which is something that impacts me greatly since my range is from -3 to -6, and a -6 in RC on test day pretty much forces me to only miss 1 question just to get a 170. I'm working on RC but I'm not sure I can drop a -4 to a more reasonable score.

For the record, when I last took the LSAT I was pting around 171 and with my current pt's I really want to be done with the LSAT. Apologies if it seems like a flex, but I'm more concerned with underperforming what I seem to be able to get. Also due to recent strides in RC from an average of -5.1 (a little worse since I'm discounting some tests that I can't find records of) to this I was a little optimistic.

I'm not really sure, maybe I don't have much of a choice and have to take the October or cancel, which I'm not going to do, I'd rather just take it, but I thought I'd ask for advice.

Thanks in advance! Good luck in your journey, if you have any questions otherwise feel free to ask.

Edit: Thanks for your responses everyone, if you did have questions about LSAT tips or anything I'm happy to answer but now I'm confused, the test change link is for 2018....as in the dates are referring to test date changes from 2018 on the petition to change my test date.

Did anyone get that supposed email that they should've sent at 12? I didnt see it in my inbox. (I know that it's possible to do it early. Just feel a little insecure without the email)

Hi guys, do you know whether it's FREE to reschedule time slots on ProctorU?

Not to reschedule the whole test to another month, but to reschedule it within a day.

LSAC said they would be sending login credentials today at noon, but I have yet to receive an email. I tried emailing and calling LSAC but the lines are busy and I got an automated email back. I'm just stressed because there is only one day I am available to take the test and I want to make sure I get that day. Let me know if anyone else is having issues with this!
