Hi everyone,

I just made the transition from the curriculum to taking practice test. I have taken two so far: Feb. 1997 and PT36 Dec. 2001. I am aiming to sit for the actual test November 14th of this year, but I want to make sure I am using my time wisely.

Does anyone have a strategy with the practice test? Should I take about 10 or so test from PT36-58 Group then take about 10 from the 59+ group?

I’m open to discussion.

I started the core curriculum April 5th. I am scheduled to finish the lessons around the first week of June, at which point I will have just the practice tests to do. I am taking the August 29 test. I took a practice test 3/4 weeks ago and I got a 161 (my target score is 165/166/167) When should I take my next practice test? How often should I be taking one?

Is there any roadmap to be able to take practice tests on 7sage in an lsat flex format? I've been taking my tests with skipping the 2nd LR section, but the 0 in the 2nd LR section is skewing my analytics page. Would love it it was possible to exempt the 2nd LR section for scoring / analytics purposes.

Hi everyone. I have just started studying the core curriculum. I wanted to ask if we are supposed to be marking the Logical Reasoning questions like JY does during his explanations. Also, can we cross out answer choices? Are these features available on the digital version of the test? Thanks for the help.

Hi guys! I hope you and your loved ones are doing well!

I am in the process of finding a tutor, and I was wondering if those who utilized tutoring services during their LSAT studying could share their experiences (positive or negative).

I have some general questions:

  • How did you go about finding your tutor?
  • What did you look for in a tutor?
  • How often did you meet with them, did you find that effective?
  • What is the typical amount per session (if you don't mind sharing)?
  • How long did you utilize their services?
  • When did you start with a tutor (for reference- I am about to start the LG part of the CC, so still foundational)?
  • Did you see a score improvement, and if so, was it substantial?
  • What are some good things to ask during a consultation, to see if a tutor is the best fit for you?
  • And any other general insight/ advice.
  • Thanks so much in advance!

    Hello,

    I am a rising junior and plan to take the LSAT my senior year. I am also extremely new to the world of LSAT so I have basically no idea how to formulate a study plan or how my diagnostic should be viewed (if any help I would obviously like to score 170+).

    I took the diagnostic on Khan academy and got a 159 (-4 on first Logic Reasoning, -14 on logic games, -7 on Reading Comprehension, and -5 on last Logic Reasoning) -- not sure if that should be converted to -9 on logic reasoning, -14 on logic games, -7 on reading comprehension.

    I recognize that I am begining to study seemingly absurdly early but I have a few reasons for this

    1 - an abudance of time this summer for obvious reasons

    2 - not sure I can devote much time during the academic year.

    With all of this said, what should my long-term study guide be. I have no ideas what I am doing right now or how to generally go about this, so any and all feedback is much appreciated!

    (Also sorry if these types of questions are redundant or are not welcome here)

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    For LSAT Flex takers, does anyone know if you are allowed to have Advil or Ibuprofen on your desk? Not a whole can but just one pill in case of headache etc. I can't find anything about medications on either the list of allowed items or the list of prohibited items.

    Thank you!!

    TLDR: Can 7sage please create 3 Section LSAT Prep Tests for students who are currently now prepping for the LSAT-Flex?

    Since the format of the new exam is different in that we do 3 back-to-back sections, rather than 2 sections, break, 2 sections, I am sure many of us are trying to adjust our practice test setup to mimic actual testing conditions.

    Currently, our options to do so are either to

  • create our own problem sets out of prep test sections, which means we don't get score conversions and data about our performance doesn't show up in the analytics tool, or
  • we take a 4-section LSAT and skip the 2nd Logical Reasoning, which means that in the analytics tool our scores are WAY lower because we get 0/26 on one section.
  • 3 Section LSATs would be really, really helpful. Thank you!

    So i am taking the lsat in june, and am right now getting perfect on the games and roughly -3-5 on Logical Reasoning. I just started studying reading comprehension now and did 4 sections in the last 4 days, every section i got -6-7 on. Is there any legit advice to get this into the -2-4 range before June? Just a lot of repetition and doing a reading comp section everyday? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

    I put in a twelve week window with 20 hours and it reverts back to 68.44 hours per week. That's mind-boggling. I can't study for that long every week, I have a job. How can you make it so gives you a twelve week plan @ 20 hours per week? If someone could guide me that would be great. I want to upgrade to the Ultimate+ version but this is holding me back. If that doesn't work could someone email me a screenshot of their 12week 20hour plan? Thanks.

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry for the heavy topic while most of you are stressed, but if anyone has advice for me, I would appreciate it. If you feel uncomfortable with mental health, I would stop reading here :) Thank you for clicking on the post anyways.

    I have struggled with depression for a few years. A couple of weeks before COVID, I discovered a study routine that works for me (for university and LSAT) after months of figuring things out. Then, the pandemic hit and I was confined to a tiny apartment with my family. I am having such a hard time focusing, let alone motivating myself to study. I don't even have my own desk here (I used to live in a dorm). Who knew not being able to go to a cafe or library would be this devastating?? Plus, I'm always tired and I just feel... burnt out. The last two weeks have consisted of me playing Stardew Valley while internally stressing about the LSAT, telling myself that I was just giving myself a break. This week, the pressure hit hard and I have tried to study, but I just... don't want to?

    I took the LSAT last year and did miserably because my mental health was not great and I did not study much. However, this year, I WAS motivated and now... I'm just not. I'm signed for the July test, but honestly, I just feel so unprepared (hitting high 150s, when my goal is 165+) and the stress is getting to me. I feel like I can't even explain to my parents that I want to reschedule because I "used my depression card" last year to explain my score and I feel like I can't use the same "excuse" this time because they'll think I haven't learned from my past mistakes. So, I know some people will say to reschedule, but that's just not an option for me.

    I know COVID is impacting a lot of people right now, with some losing their jobs and family members... it's hard on anyone. So if you are struggling, I feel for you.

    Any tips, even if you don't struggle with depression, with motivation, concentrating, etc. would be appreciated.

    Hope everyone stays healthy and happy.

    Thanks for reading this long post :)

    Hi,

    I just completed PrepTest 75 on the LSAC site and I want to see the explanations for the answers I got wrong and questions I was iffy about here on 7sage, do I need to fake take it on here to get to those or is there a way I can mark myself as having completed the Jun 2015 test and then review?

    Essentially, what is the fastest way for me to get to the review?

    Thanks.

    Hi everyone!! The school I applied to bought me this prep course a month ago (April) and paid for me to take the June LSAT 2020 in hopes of getting my score up 5 points for acceptance and scholarships! However, with the LSAT Flex and limited time, I do not think I will get through the entire curriculum before then. Would you all suggest me to work on LR for a day, then LG the next, RC for the next, and take 1-2 PTs a week?? I am scared I will not get much practice and review with LG and RC and not score as well due to the format of LSAT Flex!

    I am up for any study suggestions! I need all the advice I can get! Thank you all in advance :)

    I've already done quite a bit of prep using sources such LSAT Trainer and other things so I have a decent foundation. Which lessons are popular/super useful? I dont wana go thru all of them, i'd rather spend majority of my time drilling and doing PT's now, but im open to doing lessons that are seen as useful. One that i heard is advanced logic. Any others? Thanks!

    Hi everyone. I took the January LSAT and scored a 161. In the weeks leading up to the exam I was scoring on average 163 and my peak score was a 165. My nerves really got to me on the day of the exam so I did not perform as well as I wanted to. I am aiming for a 170. I have not studied since January but want to start again in June and would like to take the August or October exam.

    Any advice for how I should restart studying for my second LSAT? Thank you in advance!

    Has anyone's blind review not been going up? My first blind review was 161 and then I've been in the high 150's the next 4 exams. It's confusing because I'm putting in so much work and my exam score is improving a little but my BR has been going down for 4 exams. Any advice?

    hello there! I'm new to 7sage and have strictly been following the 7sage course schedule. I prepped with TM in January up until April, so I am familiar with the LSAT format and can anticipate the LR, LG questions. Nonetheless, I am putting aside the TM mentality and focusing on what 7sage recommends. I really want to improve my RC. With TM I had been doing 2 to 3 RC on a daily basis, however, with 7sage am unsure how to proceed.

    Any tips? Does everyone just follow the course schedule or do you jump ahead? When do you do the practice tests?

    Thank you in advance!!
