Hi all,

I would love a friend who had a similar diagnostic who is trying for a 170s score. I'm only a few units into the core curriculum. Anyone interested?

I have trouble sleeping days before big exams. Even now im starting to feel my sleep affected a bit from just general stress from the LSAT.

Would you recommend pulling an all nighter or just getting like 2-3 hours of sleep 2 days before the LSAT? That way, the night before the LSAT i can ensure Ill fall asleep cause ill be so tired from the night before.

Ive heard so many horror stories of people not getting good enough sleep the night before the LSAT and I want to make sure that doesnt happen.

Generally, I sleep fine but would like to take all precautions possible. What are downsides/upsides? personally, since you shouldnt be cramming 2 days before anyway I dont see a huge problem with like pulling an all nighter 2 nights before and then getting like 8-10 solid hours of sleep the night before?

Hey guys,

I need help with LR Flaw question in particular. Each LR Section, I miss on average 2-3 flaw questions and it is really hurting my score. I know that these are the quickest points you can make up for in LR since supposedly, once you see the patterns, "you can see them coming a mile away".

How do I get better at them? Is it just a matter of constantly seeing them over and over? I have made a problem set through 7Sage on just the Flaw questions PT 60+ and it generated about 240 Flaw questions. Just going down the list and reading all of them, will that help? I don't have much time. I have 3 weeks.

Appreciate you.

I know that growth isn't linear and that I can't expect each PT to be better than the last, but I certainly hadn't expected that they would progressively get worse...

My first PT out of the CC was a 167, which was a very encouraging 12pt improvement from my diagnostic, but since that PT each one has been a bit worse than the last and I'm finally all the way back down in the high 150s. Does any one else struggle with their PT vs. BR score widening? How do I review my PTs effectively to close that gap?

I was planning on taking the test in June, but it's becoming clear to me that I am not prepared to take it.

Any and all advice would be much appreciated.

Lost and confused,

Sarah.

Has anyone heard if the 3 take limit is impacted by LSAT Flex?

Just throwing this out there--yes, it's definitely true that security measures must be observed and we’re in unusual, emergency circumstances with a pandemic and it's great that there's a remote option now. That said, because the proctoring program already uses video and audio recording--which they save under live real-time observation, is eye-tracking really necessary? It just seems to be a bit much. What if someone’s eyes drift as they ponder a question or they look away to rest their eyes? Will these normal behaviors be flagged? Is there any way students can opt out of some of this? And how will students’ personal information be used? It seems that more transparency is needed. What are your thoughts?

Is there anywhere where I can find definitions or descriptions of these grouping game categories? These four are categorized by 7sage but I've gone through the CC & I can't find any description.

Grouping pure:

Grouping sequence:

Grouping repeating:

Grouping - Interchangeable:

Example for grouping repeating games: I know that I will have to group items and those items are repeating. Hence, using a chart will be most helpful.

I would like to know the communities thoughts on how to study for upcoming flex tests. My thought is that it no longer makes sense to take standard full length PT's if you are planning on taking a flex test. Would taking three sections instead of five be advisable? Obviously it cannot hurt to do more questions - but as JY has mentioned many times - the goal of PT's is to recreate test day conditions...

I heard that the LSAT makers are going to remove Logic Games sometime in the near future is that true and what do they plan on replacing it with? (All I gotta say is I hope they don't get rid of it, Logic Games is my best and favorite section - sorry to those that hate it, but I think they're kinda fun, it's like a puzzle).

For me, if I am really focus, I do 1.4. 1.2 when I am so so focus. 😂

Announcement from LSAC:

I am getting through the CC and wondering how I should attack the practice tests starting from PT37 and up. Is it plausible and yet effective to take all those tests or should I take one a week considering that I have at least four per week? I was thinking at least one a week and BR+Review as well as review all of those I don’t take in timed conditions. Any advice?

How will having 3 sections affect the scoring? Is there a way to recalculate what the score of my PT tests would have been if it was an LSAT flex? If LR is my strength should I consider pushing back the test date until it is in-person 4 sections again?

For those who watched today's LSAC webinar: did you get the impression that the 2021 cycle be more competitive than previous cycles?

Hey guys. I plan on taking the November 15th LSAT this year. My diagnostic was pretty bad (140). I was pretty devastated considering that I have a 3.9+ GPA in undergrad currently. I want to get into the 160s and go to a T-25 law school. Is jumping from140 to the160s possible given the amount of time I have? I have a little over 6 months.

And what's a good way to prepare? I plan on using full proof from JY for LG and going through the LG Bible. But what about LR and RC?

Alright all your future lawyers, let's have a bit of debate. I wanna hear people's opinions on writing vs not writing the online administered June LSAT (3 sections vs 5). I'm personally on the fence and want to hear what other people think and the pros and cons of the situation

Any general tips? I keep doing this to myself and then by the time I realize it, I am already burnt out.

How in the heck do I balance not over-doing it but also make sure I get through PT's and material before the July test. I am already done CC. Just going over it occasionally for my weak areas after PT'ing.

I am so stressed out that I keep burning out from over studying and become unable to do anything at all. Then, I take a one week break to recover and repeat my bad habits of over-studying and so on

Hi Everyone,

Now that the June LSAT Flex has been announced, how are you planning on taking your PTs to adjust to the new 3 section versus 5 section? Are you still practicing with 4/5 sections?

Thanks!

Are you struggling with improving your score on the Reading Comprehension section of the LSAT? You're not the only one. Of the three, RC by far is the most difficult section to gain meaningful improvements on. Even worse is the fact that there is a lot of conflicting advice out there on how best to attack the RC section, some of which may actually harm your performance rather then help. I managed to improve my reading comp score on average a full 8 points from my base and I want to share some of the things that I learned along that journey with YOU, my fellow 7 sagers. Join me on Friday as we tackle PT 79, specifically the Eileen Gray and Woodland Clearing passage. I will breakdown the passage and apply my personal methodology for tackling RC passages. Whether you're an LSAT Vet who is just looking to polish off the last few details for the May LSAT or you're just getting started I'm sure you will find something of value in this session.

Hello,

I am a sophomore in college who is new to the LSAT preparation scene. If I am correct, there are only 80 practice exams released that I could use to prepare for the LSAT. I have been kind of hesitant to start taking tests because I want to make sure that I am maximizing my score from one test to the next. Can anyone give me any advice?

I have been studying with 7Sage for 6 months, with the first 3 months only spending about 1-2 hours per day. Recently with quarantine freeing up some time I have really ramped up my studying, and will complete the Core Curriculum in the next 2 weeks. I have signed up for the June test, but it has recently been announced that it will be a Flex test. With this test not being in person, I am now conflicted as to whether I should just take the June test and hope that August is in person for a second test, or push the test back to July and hope that one is in person. Obviously, pushing the test back would give me more time to study, but it is also unclear if any tests in the next few months (or even the rest offered this year) will be in person.

I would love to know what you all think about the Flex test, and how you are making your decisions as to whether to go ahead and take the Flex test or push your testing date back.

How does LSAC normally handle appeals for registering after the deadline? I failed to realize the June 2020 registration deadline was April 24th (largely due to finals for school, but that doesn't excuse it. Are they normally forgiving?

This may be a silly question but when I star a specific question from a prep test or star a page from a lesson, do they all go to one place on my account? how do I go back and find everything I've starred?

Hi!

I'm having a hard time distinguishing when it would be most helpful (and efficient) to use charts in grouping games. On the June 2007 practice test, I used a chart for game 4 - the recycling centre question and it worked for me but JD doesn't use it in his explanation video. I guess it did take me a bit longer using the chart, but I can't quite figure out the precise characteristics of a grouping game where charts would be most beneficial.

Help!
