Overheating Computer

My computer (15 in macbook pro - about 3 years old) fans every time I do certain things on the 7sage website (ie watch many videos in a row). I use google chrome.

I shut down my computer regularly, quit out of unnecessary tabs and applications (to the point that this website is the only thing open). Any suggestions? I purchased a stand for my laptop that has cooling fans, though sometimes my computer will still fan.

Hi. I am planning on taking the LSAT this June of 2025. I might retake the August 2025 LSAT exam if they offer it then. I am looking to start an LSAT study group in NYC. We can meet in person in Brooklyn or Manhattan or just do most of the work online by Zoom. I plan to take 1-2 tests each week and blind review them. I live in Brooklyn Heights. Contact me on here with your contact information. Thanks!

Does anyone have any recommendations for affordable LSAT tutors?

I have a Tier 1 LSAC fee waiver and have been struggling to find tutors who can give me a significant enough discount to where I could afford tutoring :,(

Honestly im looking for any reputable tutor who charges less than 200/hr

I've really been afraid of having a tutor because I feel like it often comes off as super stiff and formal. Glad to have been paired with someone SUPER invested in my success that I also completely vibed with. I'd def recc if you're looking for more personalized studying!!

Do you recommend getting the core curriculum foundation lessons down as much as possible before moving on to the lessons on logic and reading comprehension (as well as drills and PTs)? Sometimes I get nervous that I’m spending too much time on one foundation section. At the same time, I feel like it’s important and doesn’t make sense to continue with the core curriculum lessons if I don’t feel confident in a certain part of the foundation lessons. I just want to make sure that, although I'm spending time on foundational things I don't get yet, I'm not seeking perfection at those things either. I'm studying full time and only have 3 months, so I want to make sure I'm not spending too much time on foundations.

Help im stuck!

Im stuck getting 160-162 on my past four practice tests, how do I break out of this range and into the mid-high 160s. I take one a week, and practice using the drills everyday in between. I am majorly plateauing and need a way out asap!

LSAT writing section

Should you study for the argumentative writing part? If anyone has completed it before any insight on what it is like? Is it a passage then you write an essay I am honestly not sure, I haven't looked into it because I have focused mainly on the LR and RC.

April 2025 LSAT

How soon do scheduling dates, times, and locations come out before your test? I am signed up for the April 2025 LSAT and have not gotten an email allowing me to schedule yet, I know it's still early, but I am wondering, for those who have already taken the test, when did you get an email allowing you to pick the date, time, and location of where you will be taking the test.

We're trying to figure out how to create default usernames on our new site. Do you want to be anonymous on the 7Sage forum, or in chat if we had it? Why or why not? Please take the poll and respond in the comments if you have more to say.

Just curious to know if anyone relies on the study schedule this prep course provides for them. Is that a good way to really get adjusted and familiar with the LSAT and get a good score or should I set up drills and go to live clsses there is just alot of resources in this prep I want to make sure Im using it correctly to where I will get a good score!

Considering…

about how many times should one take the LSAT, even with much studying and preparation for the test, without achieving the score they want, before one considers doing something else with their life? Asking for a friend who is about really to give up. (not really)

Just finished my first year of attorney life (I'm licensed in CA). Open for any burning questions!

I previously posted my imperfect LSAT journey on my profile, so I'll spare you the background info again here. (See https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/21896/my-lsat-journey-is-over-144-166-rough-road-inspiration-top-3-tips)

I graduated from USC Gould.

I will quickly note that, regardless what you intend to use your law school degree to achieve, the doors a Juris Doctor will open for you will be incredible.

AMA!

Hi,

So embarrassing but freshman year of high school, a couple of my "friends" and I got caught vaping in the bathroom (i know i know). Was suspended for a day or two. I am unsure whether to disclose this information since I am not sure if this is on my record or not. I also don't remember if my high school said they would put it on my record or not. For the character and fitness, do I need to disclose this or not. Some of them just say "professional school", but I don't know if i should call my high school or the law school and see if i should. I don't want this to end up resulting in not getting in to a majority of the schools. Didn't know freshman year was going to bite me in the arse now.

Any help would be awesome. If it is the case i do need to submit something, would this be a make or break factor?

Hi everyone,

I've been studying off and on for a couple of years now, but only seriously started studying for the LSAT with the 7Sage curriculum back in August. After some health issues and a lower than expected LSAT score in November, I've decided to to aim for the 2025 admission cycle. That said, I'm picking studying back up this week and wanted to know what you would all suggest.

I worked through the 7Sage curriculum in the past in a bit of a hurry and it clearly showed. For now, my plan is to get through the LSAT Loophole for a new perspective, then pick up the 7Sage curriculum again to brush up on the areas that I really didn't understand the first time around.

My plan is to retest in June and possibly one last time in August if necessary, and I'm hoping for about a 10 point jump.

I'd appreciate any and all advice as I pick up this tiring (but surely worth it) journey again!

LSAT Score Increase

Hello Everyone just started 7sage and looking for some encouragement. I was wondering if you could post what LSAT score you started at and what LSAT score you finished at. Also the amount of hours or roughly how long it took you to get that score. Also any words of advice would be appreciated.

Just took the LSAT…

Was wondering if someone could just reassure me that everything is going to be okay, because I really don’t know how I did. I thought RC was fairly easy for me but LR (the sections I was doing best on in preptests) was kind of harder. Has anyone thought they did bad but ended up being alright?

Hi all,

I know most law schools require 2-3 recommendation letters, but do they all need to come from professors or supervisors? I’m struggling to secure mine for my applications. So far, I’ve only received one from a professor, and I’ve sent out at least 15 emails to others.

For context, I graduated in 2020, and I’ve reached out to a few professors from that time—one agreed to write a letter, but another declined. I’m also currently in a master’s program, but since it’s online, my professors have expressed that they’re uncomfortable writing a letter due to not having in-person interactions.

In addition, I’ve been teaching, but I didn’t have the best relationship with the administrators at my previous school, so I’m hesitant to ask them for a letter. I’m about to start a new job, but I haven’t worked there long enough to ask anyone yet, as we don’t know each other well.

Any advice on how to handle this or whether non-professor recommenders could still be viable?

Thanks!

Hey folks! I'm restarting my studies after taking a break from this past July up until now. I got a 160 on the June '24 LSAT, and I'm hoping to bump that up closer to 170 either by this coming April or June. Any suggestions for warming back up to studying? I'm thinking starting off with untimed drills and moving more toward timed.

Hi, I literally just signed up for 7sage and am starting from complete scratch. Basically the only thing I have done so far is a diagnostic test on Lawhub and scored a 155.

I realized that there is so much content after checking out the syllabus. As a result, I was hoping for some tips related to how I should study all of this material (for example if I should first complete certain sections fully, or combine sections and do a little bit from each all at the same time).

Basically any study guides/tips and approaches to how to best utilize this website efficiently would be amazing! In case this helps, I can dedicate about 2-3 hours daily on weekdays to LSAT studying and maybe a little bit more on weekends. If anyone would be okay with sharing their studying schedule or routine as an example, I would really appreciate that too!

Thanks for any tips in advance (3(/p)
