I've been prepping on and off again over the past few months in preparation for the July test. It's only recently that I've gotten consistent with studying and have been increasing my hours.

I'm sure some others have also felt this, the disparity between the days that I enjoy lsat prepping and the days that I dread it have exhausted me. To be frank, I feel like I'm never going to get through the core curriculum, even with the % completion increasing every day.

Do any of you have tips for staying motivated or building discipline?

The only thing that has kept me from giving up is knowing what my goals are. Sometimes I'll say them out loud to myself or write them out on paper over and over again. Even if you don't believe in the power of manifestation (I'm not sure I do either) there's a lot of power in remembering what you want out of life.

I would love to know how you guys keep your heads up when the lsats are trying to drag you under.

Best of luck. x

I'm in the process of trying to get my accommodations, yet the process has been taking quite a while now in terms of seeing a psychiatrist that it will be in the next few months. I prefer to take the February test, but If I go in without the accommodation the first time, will I be denied if I retake the LSAT?

Thank you,

Hi everyone,

Is anyone here currently attending UBC law or has gotten accepted for this cycle? This school is my dream school and I would like to talk and get advice from a current student since I am thinking of applying in 2020.

Thank you in advance, I greatly appreciate your time.

Hi folks and Merry Christmas!

PT 89 has just been released and to make sure the January test takers can get full use of this PT I am hosting a blind review session for PT 89 on zoom at 2pm eastern time. This will cover the first 2 sections of the PT (logic games and LR section 1)

The idea behind a blind review session is that you come prepared having completed the assigned sections and reviewed them yourself without having marked or looked at the answers. You can then let the group know which questions you had difficulties with and we can go through them together. As the facilitator I will then analyze your approach to the questions and give you some advice as to why you perhaps had difficulty with the question and tweaks to improve your approach moving forward.

The videos for this PT are not yet available so if you have questions about this PT and you want definitive answers before the January admission of the LSAT I highly recommend you join!

The link to the meeting is below (it is on zoom)

I received a cold diagnostic score a week ago scoring a 144. Then I have done roughly 20 hours of this online course for a week and took a practice test and scored a 152, I did not count any questions I guessed on for this score, however I did not take logic games since I have not studied it so I held it constant at 9 correct answers since that is what I got on my prior practice test. Any advice to get my practice score up to 160-162? I am preparing for the February 2020 LSAT and my goal is a 160-165. Is this obtainable even though I can only study for 20 hours a week due to work and school?

Quick Question: My 7sage access expires in about a week. Right now I am registered for the most basic plan and have been thinking of upgrading to LSAT premium. If I upgrade, does that mean I get to use it for just an extra month or more?

Hey Guys,

I am a first time test taker and I honestly don't know where to start. I don't know what study materials to use and I truly need help building a study schedule. Can someone possibly give me tips that can help me out?

Thanks so much

There's a little box in the analytics that has a timing, but it always says 0m for me.

Does withdrawing LSAT registration count as a one-time test taking?

Hey all;

Yes, you've read it correctly. After six months of studying, using the LSAT Trainer, PowerScore Bibles, and 7Sage, unfortunately, some of the items I just haven't been able to grasp. Februrary is my last chance to take the LSAT. I did fairly well on the LG Section (17/23) but my LG and RC were awful (-11/-17) respectively.

I figured, since this is my last shot, I'd try something different. On the day of my test, I did not get much sleep that night due to a nasty cold and cough. That contributed to a lack of sleep, which increased my nerves, not to forgo the long drive to the testing center, I figured that had something to do with my poor performance. No excuses though, I've previously prepped at a 157, high of a 162.

7Sagers' I work full time as a Paralegal, and have 8 short weeks to improve to (hopefully) the 160's. Does anyone have any advice on how I could take this. A friend of mine recommended I drill questions, so I upgraded my 7Sage to Ultimate, and plan on drilling questions. Reading Comprehension, in the digital format, do you have any suggestions on how to improve that score, I have a lot of improvement that is needed in that area. Normally I would get -5 or -6 in LR, and I've had untimed test that I've done really well at, minus the RC.

I will take any advice or motivation at this point. My girlfriend doesn't seem to understand the magnitude of how unfortunate this is and the predicment this is having on my mental health. I am a Finance Major, but the LSAT is killing me. Would you recommend taking a practice test (Preptest 80-88) in the weeks leading up to the LSAT and drilling questions by question type in my mean time?

For those of you who have taken the LSAT before, how noisy are the rooms that you take it in? Is there a lot of people making noises or is it pretty quiet? I just can't concentrate when there's a lot of noises happening at once so I wanna know if I should factor that in to my prep test.

Thank you in advance!

Having a huge issue and I don't know how to fix. My rc and lr drop about 5 on each using tablet and I have no idea why. Everytime. Lrs on paper I get 18-19; rc 17-20 tablet tests I get 14 max help

Hi,

I posted a couple weeks ago about thanking 7sage and I'd like to do it one more time now that I am officially done with my cycle.

I've been accepted to Penn Law, and I'm thrilled to be heading off to law school (finally!)

Can anyone give me advice on what to do prepare for law school? What books should I be reading or how can I start preparing for law school exams or what to study in terms of learning the black letter law. I know that there is a wealth of knowledge and advice for 0L prep so I'd really appreciate it if anyone could weigh in on this.

Thanks again so much!

So I'm re-taking my test in march of 202 but I don't know what to study anymore since the October LSAT didn't disclose what sections we did poorly on. I studied religiously up till the night of the LSAT and was consistently scoring between 162- 171. If anyone wants to form a study group or know how to study for this problem.

I have been studying 3-4 hours a day from Monday-Saturday starting July. Around 1-2 for LR in the morning and 1-2 for LG in the afternoon. RC is my strongest section so i have only been focusing on LR and LG. I was just wondering if this is adequate enough to be studying for up to the April Test. I sometimes feel mentally fatigued and get many questions wrong while studying, so i was just wondering if should incorporate another extra rest day on Sunday and just study Monday to Friday. Im currently one year out of undergrad and I am a musician. So am pretty much a full time LSAT student and a musician on Saturdays and Sundays. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thank you In advance.

What it says in the title. Specifically I want to work as a prosecutor, and I'm wondering if it is worth it to shell out the extra cash to go to a T14 or if it would make more sense to go to a less prestigious school and pay less.

Just wanted to hear some opinions on the matter!

It’s almost necessary at this point. My December exam score was a 145, and I could not be more devastated. I didn’t have much practice before then, but still. I’m taking the January exam and my goal is to try to go up 10 points.

Is it possible? Should I give up?

How many hours should I study a day?

Should you watch the videos for the questions you got right? Is that recommended or just a waste of time?

Where does the time constraint come from? Are we allowed to change it, or should we even?

I created a problem set with all the LR questions from 19 and it came out to 32 minutes, although it was only 24 questions.

Then I tried creating a set with the other LR section from 19 and it came out to 34 minutes, but with 26 questions. Does the time given to do the problem set reflect how long we should take when doing these questions during the actual test?

Hi all,

I am a senior graduating a semester early with a 3.75 UGPA from a top-30 undergrad and have very strong soft factors (varsity athlete, work with indigenous people, and worked with the ICC.) I was averaging 163 on PT's but got a dismal 156 on the November Test. I am curious if I should bother applying and hoping for the best or to just do a gap year and change my study methods? My goal is top 20. Currently planning on ED WASHU.

I took the LSAT for the first time in October 2019, and I studied everyday for 7 hours a day from May 2019 until the October test. I got a 152 which was well below my goal score, of a 165, and I signed up for a retake in January 2020. However, I'm really struggling to find motivation to study because the LSAT takes a large toll on everyone lol. Also, I'm at the point that I felt I did everything I could've done to study for the October test and I'm not sure how much better I'm really going to do on this one, especially because I wasn't able to study for a month after the October exam. Any words of encouragement and tips?

I’m waiting in line to see Star Wars. I’m doing some LR. Is my divided focus conducive to... undoing some of my learning?

The same question could be asked of waiting rooms in a doctor’s office

I'm devastated now. I scored a low 170s in the October test, and I screwed up the November test and got 5 points lower. I am aiming for T14s with a decent GPA and have already sent out my applications at the beginning of December. Will that drop significantly affect my chance? Should I provide an addendum to explain? Any suggestions would be helpful pleeeeeease!
