Hey Everyone,

I'm nearly finished with the core curriculum. I started my initial PT in 2017 and I think it was 141(ish). My PT's now are low 150's. I've taken 4. Granted, I have a toddler, so after testing a section I will spend about 10 min to make sure he is set up and doing well with his activities (so it may not be a completely true score).

My question is, how do you know you are ready to move past the CC and into the PT's? Do you have any indicators that I can go by? I have been on 7sage 3 years. The first year I went through it, then had a year off due to having a baby, and then have spent the past 8 months on the CC. Anyway from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours per day.

I am wondering if I need to go back through it, or keep pushing through PT's and just working with the blind review.

Thanks!! And thank you for taking the time to read this!

Does anyone have experience with studying for the digital LSAT? What are some tips and tricks? I understand that the 7sage iPad app offers the digital tester, but I'm a little confused on whether I should use it and how.

I'm sitting for a US test and an international test if I don't feel good about my first try, so I'm not really sure if I should spend more time on paper or iPad.

Hi-

I’ve been studying LSAT for over 4 months. I started from 149 and my score hasnt necessarily improved much. I am hitting 159-ish on Preptests.

I was originally going to apply in the Fall 2020 to TOP 14, w/ hopefully higher score closer to 170 since my undergrad GPA is low.

Then, I have recently heard of people transferring after 1L to TOP 14. I know it requires acing 1L.

Some schools take apps until June for classes starting this Fall 2020. If I start this fall, I will save one year and aim to transfer to TOP 14 next fall (Fall 2021).

I am currently debating between 2 options:

Any suggestions? advice? Can anyone share his/her experience of transferring?

I will have 70 days to the April 25th LSAT following the end of the curriculum. I would like to know which practice tests to focus on and how to structure my tests and blind reviews.

I started studying more than a year ago but it was more sporadic because I had to deploy but now I'm in my transition and have really kicked up my hours and consistency with more than 6-7 hours everyday. I previously did a few of the older tests and was hitting low 150's while using Kahn. My knowledge base has definitely expanded and Im happy I choose to use this platform instead, with it's emphasis on nailing the basics.

It's nothing for me to do a test in the AM and then blind review and everything else in the afternoon. I would like to know if this is a recommended method. Is there any that has particularly worked for someone?

I'm thinking that the minimum amount of practice tests that I want to do is 20-30

I would also like to know which practice tests are more relevant since some of the older questions have been phased out on here and I've always heard from JY while going through the curriculum that "questions like this don't appear on the LSAT anymore".

Finally...if there are any tips that anyone is willing to give me, I'd be happy to accept!

I also posted this under "General" because the April 25th LSAT date was not a choice :/

Thank you all!

Does anybody know if the problem sets function gives us the option to create a problem set consists of all the questions I got wrong in the past？

For example, I want to create a problem set that having all Argument Part LR questions I got wrong in the past. I know how to filter the ones from pt 1-35, Argument Part, LR. But can't find the way to choose those I got wrong.

Many thanks if anyone can help.

My lsat score has just got released; 168

I know it is not a poor one but isn't superb either, esp for an international student aiming for t14 like me.

Would u recommend me to take one more or just try with this one?

Need some decent advice

I’ve taken the LSAT three times so far. Before the January test, I had consistent PT scores in the 170s with a 167 as my lowest. Just got my score back- 162, which is the same as my last official score. I had a situation during the test where I had to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of logic games, which ruined the entire section, so this test feels like a flop.

Is it worth taking a fourth time? I’ve heard that looks pretty bad to a lot of schools, so should I just stick with my 162? Planning on applying this Fall for 2021.

I was wondering if I have to reach out to schools to let them know that I got XXX score on the Jan LSAT, or does LSAC reports the updated information automatically?

Thank you all for your help!

Got my results back today and underperformed where I was PT’ing

So thinking of making a last minute virtual study group for those done with the CC and taking the March exam.

Let me know if interested!!

Does anyone know when registration will open for the June/ July / August / September 2020 LSAT dates? Will registration open for those dates on the same day, or in a cascading order?

Sorry if this administrative-kind of question has been answered elsewhere! I haven't been able to find it online.

I got 7Sage about a year ago when they didn't have the timed feature layout that they have now. So before I used to do all the problem sets of each section in the curriculum in the PDF condition for as long as it took me.

I started 7Sage again about a month ago and now they have this timed condition layout for each of the problem sets.

So should I be doing the problem sets under the LSAT timed conditions (6:40 mins per 5 questions), or is it just as fine if I do it at my own pace?

Should I be taking prep tests, or at least working timed sections from prep tests, while I learn the core curriculum? Or should I learn all of the core curriculum first, then just begin to take a ton of full, timed prep tests? Looking to take the test in June, so I should have CC done by mid march, giving me almost 3 months to just focus on prep tests and blind review.

Hi everyone! What is the most effective study method for long study periods for you? If you study for 5 or 6-hour stretches, for example, do you take a break every hour? I tried the Pomodoro method, which entails studying for 45 mins and then taking a 15 minute break, but that didn't work too well for me because I wasn't disciplined enough to follow through on it. Do you study and then take breaks as needed? Thanks

Is there a standard for having a visible clock in every center? I just use the clock here with the app, no watch.

Hello! For those who have taken the test before, how did you feel about the experimental section? Did it throw you off at all, or maybe did you feel more drained because of the extra section? I just want to know if I should expect a bit of score fluctuation due to the extra section.

Thank you for your time!

I wanted to share a weird phenomenon that happened after the Nov test. I walked out thinking I over-performed and when scores came out I found I scored 5 points lower than my average PT at the time. I thought "Wow, this must have been a fluke. I'm usually at 160, how did I get a 155? I've never tested that low in 6 months."

So here comes the weird part: I took the LR sections again, and scored the exact same. I missed the exact same number of questions on both of the LR sections, albeit some of the questions I got right the first time I got wrong the second take and vice-versa. I was on the cusp on blowing off the uncharacteristically low Nov score due to "nerves" or something nebulous that would make me feel good :D but it turns out I was probably just not as good as I thought I was.

Going back now and BR'ing the test months after I am seeing a lot of the errors I made clearly and I think "How did I do that!?" This is encouraging because I can see how far I've come from just November until now.

Weird stuff happens, wanted to share, hope people can take away something from my experience!! Happy LSAT'ing.

Good Morning. I am currently studying for the March LSAT and want to know if anyone has any advice on how to divvy up the study time designated to each section. I tried dedicating a set amount of time to studying one section. For example, I would spend a week on LG, and although my LG score would increase, my LR score would decrease. I assuming this is a result of me neglecting the section for a week. Has anyone else experienced this problem and have found remedies that will help? any advice would be amazing! Thanks!

Hello, I have been going through the MP section of the course, and am wondering if the way I am addressing the stimulus is going to get me into trouble.

I read the stimulus until I reach the main point and then stop and choose the answer choice that best expresses the MP. I have found that in the few I have done so far, I have come up with the correct answer. Is this the wrong way to go about things?

I'm keeping my eyes on Southwestern Law since I've read several good reviews about it.

To those of you who have sat the test in LA before: any other thoughts on spacious and pleasant test centers nearby?

Hello all,

So after finishing the cc I took my first pt and scored a 152. -3 LG, -10 LR each, -16 RC. From RC passages it really is hit or miss for me but I think as I get used to the timing it will be more hit, LR I still struggle with timing as 6 of the 10 I missed on each section I guessed on, and games are okay I think for Rn. If any fellow 7sagers have been are or in this spot any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Patrick

Hello -- if I am aspiring to do Big Law in either New York or D.C., which school above would make the most sense?

Hi 7Sagers! Moving into 2020, all the LSATs now will be digital correct? Therefore, should all the PTs we take be digital so on a tablet or computer? I am getting ready to start my practice test portion of my studying regime and want to get consistency on point.

Thanks!

Hello. I wanted to get input on the best way to review finished PTs, other than (or after completing) Blind Review. My preference would be to click through a finished PT, question by question, with my answer and the correct answered displayed, along with written explanations of the correct answer.

I can only find video explanations on 7Sage, not written explanations. Is that correct? If so, that makes it a bit harder to do a click-through review in an efficient way. I was wondering how other folks liked to review the answers on past PTs.

Thank you!

I am currently a Masters student in Bioengineering with a BS in Chemistry (3.75 GPA). I have recently gotten some mixed opinions about the best way to get into Patent Law, and I'm really hoping I could get your advice/experience. I have heard that I should work as a scientist in the field and then go to law school once I have established myself with a company so as to increase my eligibility for an in-house position immediately following law school. I have also been told I should work as a patent agent for a few years after my MS instead and then go to law school.

My question is...How important do you think technical work experience is to law firms when hiring? Thanks in advance.
