I've been prepping since March using 7sage while working various jobs. When I started 7sage, I scored a 169 on a diagnostic PT (I had already studied LG quite a bit). I've been taking PTs and seeing myself slowly improve (scoring around 171-174) but the problem is my RC sections fluctuate SO much anywhere from -1 to -7. Recently, this has gotten even worse and I just scored my worst on a preptest , doing awful on RC in addition to lower on LR & LG than normal. I take the October LSAT and I can't believe after all of this time, work, and money, I've had minimal improvement. I honestly do not know what to do at this point to improve, and this is the most discouraged I've felt during my time studying and I guess I just needed to vent that. If anyone has any RC or general help for someone with only a couple of weeks left, let me know because I certainly need it.

Hi guys, I'm just a regular, kind of fresh college graduate (only been several months since I graduated, but if you don't count that as fresh, it'd do nothing but making me sad...) looking for some study buddies who are willing to work with me on serious LSAT prepping.

After having studied by myself for almost 7 months in total (been on and off, though) and recently started getting some help from a private academy in Seoul, Korea out of desperation, I feel confident that my fundamentals are pretty good given that I consistently get very high 160s and low 170s from each BR of the recent PTs I'd finished.

But, on timed runs, I suck too bad and still make an unbearable amount of mistakes in LR and RC.

If you'd been on with your prepping seriously for a decent amount of time, you know very well how terrifying it is to be bad at this test and getting scores that you don't like to see over and over again.

I want to get out of that crap.

And I think it'd be great if there was someone who I could work with to talk about some things I've never really had any chance to share with anyone around me (as a Korean living in non-Seoul area and surrounded by only Korean-speaking people) and see the silver lining together along the way.

So, if you're interested in making a new friend to study with and open to sharing your own feelings and thoughts about this monstrous test with me, I'd be delighted to meet and make our prepping journey more fun and sweeter with you as we run towards our respective goals.

Incidentally, if you're also interested in learning the Korean language, I'd say it's not a bad bet to give a try on studying with me (I'd done some LA work back in college in an Intermediate-Advanced Korean course with a handful of only English-speaking American students. So, who knows. By the end of your LSAT studies, you might become proficient in another real-life language as well!)

I'll leave my email address below, so please shoot me a kindly email if you think this could be a good opportunity for yourself as well.

Thanks.

Hi all, i am hoping for some advice as to what i should do the last few months for pt's before the November test. I started studying with 7sage at the end of February and got a diagnostic score of 141. I then went through the CC slowly until the early part of May. I then read the loophole, foolproofed, and worked on sections until July 1st when i took my first timed pt. I have been doing timed pt's since then once a week roughly with thorough review, foolprofing, and timed sections from 1-35 in between each test. My last three scores have been 164, 160, and 160, with BR's 0f 166-170. My concern is I have only done 11 timed pt's so far, 60-70. If i keep up with one a week that will put me at roughly 18 before November. Do you think i should be doing two pt's a week so i can get to around 25 by the time November rolls around? I see a lot of suggestions about having 25-30 timed runs under your belt before the real thing. On the flip side, if i do not score how i want in November (165+) i may end up delaying a cycle and studying until next summer. I am afraid i may not have enough clean pt's to do this if i bump it up to two a week in preparation for November. I am not sure what to do and would appreciate any feedback, thank you!

Title says it all but until when do you guys suspect LSAC to administer the flex? Do you guys see them doing so until early next year... or do you think Nov may be the last?

I remember it was possible in the past to purchase some of the courses. Now it seems like there is only an option to pay per month.

Does anyone have an info on when/how we pick our test time for the Oct 3 flex test?? Trying to get on in asap so I can get my top priority for test time.

Thought I'd reach out to see if there's anyone here writing about veganism/vegetarianism in their personal statements who'd be interested in discussing how they're going about it!

I wonder how many words we need to write in this

Title says it all? Do you guys think taking longer to study and doing it consistently 2 hours or so a day would help bring my score up? Been studying consistently for several months almost full time but am not ready yet.

I’m taking the October LSAT which is less than a month away and I am wondering if what I have planned will be a good use of my time or if I should make some changes. I’m planning on taking the rest of this week to review, and then taking PT 68-73 before the test. Should I schedule more PTs? I just scored 160 for the first time and am hoping to get my score up to a 165. I’m also taking the November LSAT so I also want to have PTs left over to practice before that test. Any advice would be appreciated

Just to be clear - November 2020 is Flex for everyone right?

IDK why I still have to choose a test center. Also, it still says the exam is on November 14.

I'm assuming we will be emailed instructions as to how to pick a Flex time and all that later? Interesting they haven't updated this yet...considering the last day to sign up for Flex is Sept 23.

In the past week, on 5 consecutive days, I scored a 167,163, 173, 171, 163. I ate the same breakfast, took it at the same(ish) time, wore the same clothes even. The 171 and 163 were consecutive PTs (early 70s), so it's not an issue of earlier vs later tests. It seems that one contributing factor at least tends to be the types of RC passages I get. If I get 2 law 2 sci passages, my grade suffers. It's extremely disheartening and at this point, I'm starting to feel like my grade is up to chance. Which is of course true to some degree, but I would like to get to a point in the next couple weeks where those chances fall within a 5 point range, not 10 points.

Anyone have any advice for how I can achieve greater consistency? Is this normal?

Hey all, has anyone used any grammar books (or course/class) that you found helpful for LR and RC? I did the CC grammar section and figured that I needed to study more.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Hello,

i would like to know how do you BR RC. Do you guy write an explanation for every question?

(1) My professor asked if I wanted specific letters of recommendation written to law schools. Is it possible for a professor to write multiple letters of recommendation for me to upload to LSAC (to be assigned to different schools?)

(2) Is this a practice in law school admissions? LSAC’s guidelines indicate this is possible, but is this a practice that comes up with downsides? (like because this isn’t the norm, it might come off negatively or as collusion)

Misc:

LSAC guidelines seem to imply that a school-specific reference is done when your recommender is writing to their alma mater. But could if your professor just wants to tailor their letter to a school’s interest? And circling back to (1), can they upload both a general letter and a school-specific letter to LSAC? https://www.lsac.org/applying-law-school/jd-application-process/credential-assembly-service-cas/letters-recommendation#:~:text=LSAC%20LOR%20Service&text=If%20you%20use%20LSAC's%20LOR,in%20your%20law%20school%20reports

Can someone please confirm that 7Sage's LSAT/GPA calculator is NOT updated with 2020 rankings when providing "predictions?" I see on US News some of the median LSATs seem to have gone down? (i.e., Georgetown 168 here but 167 on LawSchoolNumbers). Is that true?

I have been studying for the past 6 months pretty much full time and my highest PT has been a 157 (goal is 165+) and I was planning on taking it in Oct and Nov and am not scoring how I want to right now. I have a few questions. First, what will change if I take more time to study less intensely over a longer period of time than full time studying? How much should I study per day or per week and how to have consistent opportunities for improvement without burning myself out? Regardless, appreciate all and any advice as I did not expect to need more time and am feeling a little bummed about that.

I want to get at least a 165 and I am currently getting around 159-160. My best section is Logic Games and I just started The Loophole to hopefully help with Logical Reasoning. I am registered for both the October and the November Flex, but I am wondering if it would be better for me to just wait until the November test so I have the time to get those extra five points. I have a feeling that if I take the October Flex I will be cancelling my score but I know Law Schools probably won’t look at it the best. Should I take the October Flex as preparation for the November test, or should I wait for the November test to make sure I get the best score possible?

Hi all,

I am facing a really troubling fact and decision regarding if I should continue my pursuit of becoming a lawyer. I have recently finished my 7 sage curriculum and I started with a diagnostic score of 138. I have done practice sets and BR as well as watching explanation videos. That said in my last 4 prep test I have repeatedly gotten a 143 even after BR. I am feeling very discouraged and am not sure if I should even continue at this point. I have a high GPA but not even being able to break into the 150's is troubling. Not sure what to do at this point and any advice would be helpful. As background I started studying around the beginning of May and am registered to take the October 3 LSAT flex.

Can anyone advise if I upgrade from month by month to 12 months period will I get charged $99 LSAC fee. I already paid for it when purchased monthly subscription. Thanks

So my analytics data appears to have reset or been wiped or something. It suddenly only has my most recent PT listed and the data points have vanished. Has this happened to anyone before? Will it revert soon? I can see my other PT scores, but not on the analytics page.

Anyone have any tips on maintaining focus throughout the test? I have an issue were I sometimes reread lines in LR or RC and I think it's safe to say that it's causing me to waste time. I would just like to be able to read something once and not have to go back through.

Hello,

I was looking at the course and after the course it shows only PT that you need to BR and Review. Did anyone find helpful doing so many PT and blind reviewing so many of them?

Noticing that some people will do a lesson question before viewing JY's explanation. Some others do not. I'm not talking PT's and full sections, just the individual video explanations prior to the Problem Sets.

Is there a 7Sage preferred method here, or pure learner preference? I am vacillating!

So much great wisdom floating around here! Thanks!

Greetings everyone,

I am writing because I was supposed to take the Sept LSAT and apply to law school fall 2016. I took a Testmasters course summer 2016 and only saw my score improve by a few points (142 to 147). Part of my low performance was my lack of commitment to studying and another part of it was how it was taught. Since that course, I bought the LSAT Trainer and have studied from that for about a month or so. I graduated from undergrad in 2014 and work full time with an awesome immigration attorney since then. My point is that I'm lost as to how to approach studying for the LSAT. I want to purchase 7sage because it offers explanations and more structure (which is something I desperately need). So, has anyone had a similar experience such as mine? I fear I will jumble up all the methods and be even more miserable than I currently feel now. I plan to take the June LSAT and I want to get a score 160-165. I know I can do it, I'm just not sure how to do it. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
