Hi everyone- I am currently going through the foundation section of the curriculum and I am now under the Conditional and Set Logic portion. Is it necessary going through the entire foundation curriculum before going into LR. Since there is so many question types in LR I was hoping to learn a new LR type each Monday and focus heavy on identifying the question type, breaking it down and answering it.

Am I wasting time? It has been very helpful but I wanted to know if you all went straight through it or bounced around... for time purposes. I am hoping to take the test in April, but may push back to June.

I currently work at a small law office in NYC. A couple of weeks ago, I got accepted into my dream law school and will be enrolling for fall 2025 so my position will be open starting April.

This role is a perfect opportunity for those preparing to go to law school. It is only part-time so you will be able to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials. Additionally, the role leaves a lot of free time during the work day to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials as well. Another amazing thing about this role is that because you are working in a small law office, there is a lot of room for growth and learning. I truly believe this work experience made a difference in my law school application as I had the opportunity to begin drafting legal documents, learned what I liked/did not like about the field, was able to study for the LSAT during work, and got a great recommendation letter from my boss. A huge plus is that the staff are extremely friendly and flexible.

If you applied this cycle but are deciding to take another year off or have not yet applied, this might be a perfect opportunity for you. PM me if you are interested - serious inquiries only please.

I just want to give a world wide shout out to Nicole Agrononik the 7 Sage tutor. Her teaching style of covering theory before practice has been a god sent to me and Im sure for everyone else. I am at a 92% for PSAr questions and I give the credit where its due. She explains things in a way that's easily understood. IDK who taught Nicole but I'm thankful for them too. I want to thank her mama for having her. I just watched her flaw factory class and I am telling you I thought I knew what I false dichotomy was and Hello. I didn't. So, I just want to give Nicole a hellafied praise for STL.

blind review

Hello,

I was wondering if I should blind review my first test? I'm not really familiar with anything in the LSAT yet nor do I fully know what blind reviewing is so I'm just wondering on if I should do it for my diagnostic!

Hi! I understand the value in drilling to learn concepts, but I am also big on following the lessons in the course syllabus. Wondering how other people use both in their study plan? I am a bit confused by how the drills section is set up... I am wondering if it is because I am just getting to the "grammar" section of the course? Will I understand how to select those better once I have covered more of the lessons? Open to any help or suggestions :) Thank you!

Hi,

I took the lsat back in November and completed the writing section then. It was approved. I'm taking the lsat again in February and am wondering if it's at all worthwhile to do the writing section again? I know you're only required to have one take, but I'm wondering if having 2 submitted writing sections would somehow be helpful for admissions? Like providing them with 2 writing samples instead of 1? Not sure what my best move is here, I appreciate any thoughts!

Thank you!

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?
