Hello all! I’m having trouble bringing my timed score up to my BR score. Based on my scores and studying history, how do you guys think I should continue to study in order to bring my scores up?

Studying Background:

I scored 152 on my diagnostic on May 1st. Since May, I’ve completed the LSAT Trainer and the LG Curriculum from 7Sage.

The Problem:

Today, I took my first PT since the diagnostic and only scored 157. I think the problem is that I'm too slow. In literally every section, I run out of time around question 20 and am forced to quickly guess on the last few.

For context, I was only able to complete 3 games and it takes me about 4 minutes to read a passage in RC.

The reason that I think this is a “timing” issue instead of an “understanding” issue is that I have 85% accuracy on the questions that I do answer and because my Blind Review is solid (178). I only spend about 30 minutes on the Blind Review, so it’s not as if I spend all day to bring the score up to 178.

My Questions:

Based on my studying background and the problems I seem to be having during the exam, what would you guys recommend I do to bring my score up?

Is my problem a timing issue that can simply be resolved with more PTing? Or does my low score suggest a fundamental lack of understanding? Should I be doing multiple timed PTs a week or continue to focus on fundamentals?

As you can tell, I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.

Sincerely,

A fellow LSATer.

I'm nervous of being ready in time for the October LSAT, but want to ensure I get my test scores in early enough in the admissions cycle. I'm aiming for 170 - still need to get faster on LG and RC.

I took the May Flex exam and am signed up for July. I think I remember being able to talk to my proctor beforehand, like they talked to us and introduced themselves and made us follow the directions? That would be the best time to tell them about potential problems and stuff beforehand right? Like you could clear it up and be like please dont interrupt or if you find something wrong pause the time or whatever

Hi everyone. I did the Khan academy test prep, but made the mistake of really only doing the tests and not really trying to learn anything. I started 7sage a few weeks ago and am working my way through the CC now. I know I would like to have a tutor but I am curious when the best time to get a tutor is/when most people accept students. Is now a good time to seek a tutor? Or do I need to be doing PTs to benefit from a tutor? Thanks!

Hey guys! Does anyone know how the timing works for the flex? For example is it just 3 35 minute sessions consecutively? Are there breaks? Does anyone know where I could find more info about it?

I've noticed that I do much better on the first two sections and much poorly on the last two, regardless of the category. Any tips on how to stay focused?

So... I have taken a PT and not completed BR for it... I was planning on doing it when I had more time, though now when I am trying to do the blind review, I cannot access it. Is there a way to do this that I am just not seeing?

Hi.

I am curious whether it is possible to reset the analytics. For example , I've recently started studying full-time again and wish to delete my current Problem sets and completed PTs. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Thanks.

I am hoping to compile a list of all the questions I have pinned (using the purple bin after finishing a problem set) in the past 5 months of studying. Any idea of how I can access this information?

Does everything work well on a Kindle? Are there any limitations?

Hey everyone, can somebody please help me out, I’ve been studying since March and am aiming for a 165. I average missing 4-5 per LR section, missing about 3 on LG, but RC is killing me. I’ll go anywhere from missing 5 to 12 and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to improve. I plan to take the October exam and was thinking about taking 2 weeks and doing 2 RC sections a day (one in the morning untimed and one at night timed) any suggestions would be appreciated thank you!

hey guys, i took the June 2007 pt as a cold diagnostic in January as i started my LSAT journey and got annoyed at how low my score was, and deleted the results - horrible lapse of judgment - without blind reviewing as i didn't know how to effectively do it at the time. now im finally done the CC, after many breaks, and want to see how much better i got, but i realized i deleted the results so i cant go back and compare from the original. My question is, should i just retake the June 2007 pt and then blind review and see how they compare to the score of the cold diagnostic, or is it just a waste of time and just start PTing at PT1? thanks for any feedback.

Hey guys, I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew and need extra time to study. In the e-mail we got for the July 2020 LSAT-Flex, LSAC noted that there is an option to opt-out and get a coupon for any LSAT from Aug till next April, but they did not indicate a deadline. I tried e-mailing LSAC to ask if there is a deadline and haven't gotten a response yet. In your experience, has there been one? I'm trying to see if I can still study till I'm confident enough for the July LSAT-Flex, but I don't know how much time I have to make that decision. Would appreciate your thoughts!

What do people think about taking the LSAT again? In general is it a good idea and is it reasonable? On a personal note, I recently took the May LSAT Flex and I am signed up for the July test. I did good on the first one and have recently taken a few weeks off to focus on other things, but I came back to a PT today and got the same score as I had on test day. That made me think I could get a better score if I put a couple more weeks of prep into it. Does anyone have any advice from their own experiences about taking the LSAT more than once? Thanks everyone, 7Sage and its community have already raised my score a whole bunch and I am forever appreciative of everyone.

I keep getting these questions wrong almost every time I am confronted with one. SOS.

I do bad toward the end of psets, but I don't know if I should continue with the curriculum or go over the entire pset/lesson again to see if I understand it better. Any recommendations on what I should do? Should I just move on or review that section all over again.

Is it one of a kind? Are their earlier games that reminded you of it? Any drill suggestions? Thanks.

I've been looking on LSAC for where to upload my picture for OVER AN HOUR. Is it right in front of me and I'm just blind? Can someone please tell me where it is. I give up.

Thanks in advanced.

I apologize if this is answered elsewhere, but is there a way to add an experimental section to the digital tester? Also, should I still be using the 7sage proctor video for the digital LSAT?

I hired a tutor and she advised me to not study more than 4 hours a day because our brains just become too tired to retain any more information after that point. She did say to take a day off but I want to score in the 170s. I've been studying for 6 months now and have only been able to hit 143 :[ Should I study more and ignore this advice? I am also doing a PT once a month, she advised this as well

Hello, I am about 2 weeks into studying for my October LSAT. I have been studying 5-6 hours a day and about 8 on weekends. My diagnostic score was a 150 about 2 or 3 months ago and I hope to raise my score to a 165. I am writing in here to ask a few questions about this whole experience.

Do I have enough time to raise the 15 points?

How long will it take me to finish the Core Curriculum at the rate that I am studying?

How long should I be doing PTs before my October LSAT date?

I figured maybe 2 months of 5 LSATs a week, (with blind review, obviously) but I’m not sure if that’s overkill or if I should spend more time focusing on the Core Curriculum and my notes from it.

Thank you all and best of luck.

I am really worried that I am not where I want to be and that I am forcing a time frame. I really want to apply for the 2021 cycle, but I just don't know if I can make the october date. I have a full time job and it is hard for me to even get 3 hours a day in. My current score is mid 140s and to get where I want I would need a 160. I haven't made it through the full cc and I am really having a hard time perfecting the fundamentals. Any study tips or life advice is GREATLY welcomed :)

I am 50% through the core curriculum (maybe more like 60 since I leave few practice tests undone in each section to go back to) and I am hitting a wall, all I want to do is PTs but I know they won't be as useful without the whole CC completed

Any tips or advice on how to get past this fatigue?

As if the regular uncertainty of law school isn't enough, I'm leaving a steady job to head off to Law school in Fall during this COVID-19 pandemic!

The idea of leaving behind my steady income and instead taking on student loans during this time when I'm lucky to still have a job is causing me to panic!! Basically the added aspects of uncertainty due to the pandemic and thus the poor job market/economy are wearing me thin.

I'm trying to decide if I should stay my job another year and defer law school, hoping that the pandemic will blow over by Fall 2021(which is not guaranteed). Or if I go forward to law school despite it all since I've already been accepted and have a solid scholarship etc.

Is anyone else struggling with this decision? I am open to any advice or anecdotes about what others in similar positions have deiced to do. I'm trying to see this from all angles before I make some big decision based on my nerves and fears.

Thank you in advanced!

How does 7sage digital interface compare to the actual LSAT?
