I am taking in March, and Im not really sure where to go from here. I am usually mid-high 160s and I have plenty of new PTs left. Right now I am currently working through the early ones. Should I even bother with that? Ive done 1-14 and am really working through the LR sections of 15-30. as far as the most recent ones, Ive really only done the adds from the June 2007 test to 80, with touching none of 81-88. I was saving the most recent ones for maybe the last two or so ones as the most accurate gauge of my ability leading up to the test. Just wanted some thoughts.

Hey 7sage,

I'm attempting to extend my course access (I've done it in the past as well, if that matters) and am only being given the option to extend it monthly?

Thanks!

I'm scoring an average of 158-162 on my actual timed PTs but I'm BRing at a consistent 173+. My goal is to be able to bridge this gap, and hopefully score a 175+. I understand that comes with practice and with targeting weaknesses. However, I only have about 11 PTs left (I have all the PTs so it isn't an issue of obtaining more). My goal is to take this test by March 2020. I am out of school and work full-time and am not in the financial position to take time away from work. Most of my time is devoted to PTing on weekends, and BRing during eveningsmornings over the weekdays.

As for my breakdowns (answering this question before its asked lolol):

LG: -0 (i am able to finish all questions timed)

LR: - 4/-5 (i am able to finish all questions timed)

RC: -15 typically (i cannot finish the timed section and am typically left with the last passage untouched)

I know I need to really hone in on RC mainly and some on refining my detailed understanding of LR and that the majority of my score increase will come from there. However, I have also been reading a lot online that people have averaged 20-30 PTs before they started hitting the 175+ range. I only have about 10 left and had previously studied for the LSAT before taking some time off so I had used all the tests in the 60s and 70s during that time to prep. I know I need to take the 80s when I'm closer to my test date, but I don't want to waste them if I cant make it to test day/am not scoring where I need to be.

Advice or shared experiences and anything else you guys have to offer would be greatly appreciated. I've been sifting through discussion posts and haven't found advice pertaining to my exact situation and so I'm hopeful this post will be beneficial to more than just myself.

Curious if this is only for people whose test was canceled or if it's also for folks who experienced a signficant delay (like 4 hours).

How many times have you written the LSAT

Hi,

I have written the LSAT once before in October and got 143. I want to get 153 on my next one in January (which is in six weeks). Im aware it will be hard but I have had practice before which I studied for my first one, so I am not starting from nothing. Please let me know your opinions!

I'm looking for a paid tutor / high scoring study buddy to help me push from 158/160-170+ by the March test. I did look at the official tutor page with no luck yet so I thought I'd make a public post.

I need the most help with LR then RC. I am BR'ing at about 170 which is great. However, between now and March I do feel like I need someone who can make personalized explanations with me and bring experience and instruction that I can't yet bring myself.

Please DM me and we can discuss rate and times. Thank you!

Hi guys

I have been really overwhelmed with studying for the lsat. I have been studying as much as I can on a day basis. I have been still managing to get -11 on logical reasoning. I haven’t been able to focus on rc because most of my time is being devoted towards lr. It’s been very stressful because I don’t understand why I am doing so poorly after so much studying for the past year. Any recommendations ?

Should I keep practicing ?

Does Lr section eventually become easier !? After practice ?

I’m just confused when will I see results ?

Hi. I bought LSAT Starter pack prior the announcement of after Nov. 15th , LG videos will be available for premium or higher .

If I buy the potential PT 89 explanations package which will be released by 7 Sage soon, will i able to get to see the LG explanations video of PT 89 by 7 Sage? or I will be only available to see PT 89's LR and RC video explanations?

I will be a non traditional law student who is interested in going into solo practice right out of law school. I have a 15 year background in sales, so I am quite comfortable generating my own leads and developing a base of clients on my own (which often gets described as the biggest barrier to solo practice). I have no desire to do biglaw because if I am to work 70--80 hours/week, it will be for myself. I live in a large city with several law schools (none of them T1) and a thriving legal market. I am asking that people share their thoughts on the importance of a law school's ranking if one plans to go into solo practice right out of law school. For background, my LSAT score above each local school's top 75%.

I am fortunate enough to be able to study for the LSAT full-time, but feel that I have not made the most out of my time. When I was going through the CC, I really enjoyed it because it provided me with structure. However, now that I am done with the CC and don't have that structure, I have really been struggling to make the most out of my study sessions. After reading some test prep articles online, I realized that I would benefit from creating a schedule for each of my study sessions. I want to develop a study schedule with specific time stamps and specific goals. I would love to hear from those of you who have found success with developing study schedules and possibly sharing a sample study schedule.

Some Background:

Diagnostic: 142

I would like to take the exam in February, but am okay with waiting a little longer if it means getting a higher score. I will definitely have to go back to work after February.

I have only taken three PTs because I quickly realized that I need more help with the basics. PT1:149 PT2:140. PT3:139

In oder to adresss the fact that I was struggling with the basics, I purchased The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy and used that to help me structure my study sessions. I was able to get through the book in a week and since then I have been drilling the specific LR question types that I have struggled with the most. I used the data analytics to help me determine which question types I needed to focus on, but I am nervous about devoting so much time to LR and neglecting LG and RC.

I have created my own LG bundle (binder with all games from PTs1-35), but have not gotten around to actually using it.

After doing the CC, I haven't addressed RC in my studying

I really appreciate any input. Thanks in advance!

It has taken me while to post this because I was extremely disappointed and partially in denial but I have to come to terms with the reality..... I bombed the October LSAT.

I scored the EXACT SAME THING (158) as I did in July. I have all of my application materials ready to go and was not even entertaining the thought of a retake but now... I'm reconsidering.

I would be happy to apply with at LEAST a 163 which I was hitting consistently weeks before the exam. Suddenly the week before, my scores dropped which resulted in me panicking and possibly over-drilling.

SO what I would like to know is

FULL DISCLOSURE: My first take I used Kaplan, second I used Kaplan & Powerscore (+7pt jump), 3rd Take I used SOME 7 Sage lessons but mostly used 7sage for help with blind review method & digital testing.

Being that the deadline to register to sit in January is next week, I would GREATLY appreciate it if I could receive some advice as sooooon as possible. Thank you all in advance!!

I've been working hard since February this year going through the LSAT trainer, then Lawschooli's LR program, then I saw the light and did the CC here. Over the last 4 months I've seen an increase of about 4-5 points to a 159-160, but I know I can bank at least 5 more points by foolproofing more and shoring up my LR flaws (which are immense lol).

I plan on using Cantgetright's post CC guide (I'll post the link below) and hiring a tutor but can people in general go from -7-10 in LR and -7ish in RC to -2-3 between now and the April test? That's about 4 months for a 10 point improvement and easy points from foolproofing.

Cantgetright's excellent post CC video: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/

Hey guys!

I was just wondering if its realistic for my score to increase from a 148 to the 155-157 range in five weeks? I'm considering re-taking in January and I'm not sure if that's something that could possibly happen.

I just recently broke in to the 150's on my PT's and I'm in desperate need of advice!!

Thanks!!

Hey everyone,

I am really looking to you for advice.

Here is my situation:

I wrote in October, but there was a problem at my test centre, and I did not receive accommodations for my first section (I have an actual learning disability), and I was informed of this MID section 1, so I rushed through the last 10Qs in that section and feel like i ruined my score. I did not receive my score yet (I have the option to cancel, until December). I felt horrible after the exam. I know the first section for LR went badly, but I felt like the others were OK (I received accommodations after the first section). In October, my score was constant ~158, but the week before the exam it was 158-157-158-156-155-154-152-151 (no lie — i stopped at that point), mostly careless errors at that point from not reading properly, but I was hyper-alert during the exam. I tried to fix that for the exam. The only thing stopping me from cancelling is that the exam was “harder” than anticipated (at east according to my friends) and for some reason, whenever things are hard they work out for me.

I wrote again in November, and, surprise, i feel like garbage. I flagged like 20 questions. I found I got time-sucked on a couple of Qs. I was scoring more consistently the month of November, between 158-162 (my BR between 165-173). I felt pretty good about the games. I was eh about the LR, but the more I “read” and “think” about the “real LR” the worse I feel. On each practice PT I flag the same amount of questions.

My dilemma is that I do not know if I should cancel my October score, and take the free retake in January. Normally I would leave it, but the university I am aiming for averages scores. I have been studying since the end of may. And, in all honesty, I am EXHAUSTED and mentally drained and really do not want to write in January. I feel brain dead, and I’ve been having nightmares from this stupid exam.

I really do not want to drag this exam out. I am also going back to work full-time in January and I am likely going to have a hard time studying and working at the same time (and taking ‘time off’ is not an option since I have 0 financial support at home, besides free rent which will be gone if I do not go back to work).

I wanted advice because I do not really trust myself to make the right decisions at this point, since my confidence has dropped from 0 to -10, but I also really need to hit 160. I feel like a slave.

If you were in my shoes, what would you do? I would love to hear any advice you have to offer (for real — its been incredibly helpful thus far) and greatly appreciate the time you’ve taken to read this :)

I took 15 PTs all in my desired range. Test day was a blur., I have NO CLUE how I did. Are there any stats out there about PTs vs the real thing?? What is the statistical chances one would be WAYYYYYY off their PTs??

Does anyone know if the switch to administer 9 LSATs per year applies to the overseas Testing centers as well, specifically Asia?

Hi,

I was wondering if I'm missing out on a lot by using these (relatively) older PTs as full length tests? I heard that the test has changed over the years, so would taking only these PTs put me at a significant disadvantage? When I purchased the Premium package I hadn't realized that this may be an issue.

Thanks!

When will PT 89 be available on 7Sage for practice? Thank you! #help

Same question for other submissions. Should I pdf before submitting? I don't see guidance anywhere on this..

thanks in advance!

Westin South Coast Plaza cancelled their LSAT after a 1 hour and 30 minute delay.

What happens when LSAC decides to do this? No emails yet from LSAC.

Who else was canceled? For what reason?

Has LSAC given an explanation?

Will this set back your application process?

Does anyone have a good suggestion for help with logical reasoning? I improved drastically on logic games and somewhat in reading comprehension, I'm still struggling with logical reasoning. I haven't bought the 7sage bundle but this is because I don't have much time left until the next lsat and don't see the point in getting the ultimate and not being able to finish it. Anyone have any recommendation for a good course or notes for something specific to Logical Reasoning? I asked 7sage help and only thing they said was they don't do individual courses but didn't give me any suggestions aside from buying ultimate when I specifically told them why I didn't consider it because of time and money. Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys,

I need some advice for studying for a retake (Jan). I got a 169 in October but I hope to break into the 170s.

I've foolproofed pretty much everything from 1-60s for LG, although I still freeze up on odd games.. And for LR, I can go anywhere from -0 to -5. For RC it's usually -2 to -5. October was my second take too and I really think that I should have some sort of plan to use my time most efficiently leading up to January's exam. Should I be studying individual question type? Should I redo PTs I've done before? (I do have about 10 clean PTs left though). I just don't really know how to go about this because I've been doing in depth BRs all along. I spend on avg 8-10 hrs BRing every PT I take and it's so frustrating when it doesn't seem to get me consistently over 170+.

Any advice appreciated.

Really hope the test isn’t canceled altogether 😔

McGeorge School of Law is holding a mock digital LSAT exam on December 14th and I live near there so I decided to sign up and attend. Seems a little weird tho, they are holding it just like a real one with the right tablets and procedures beforehand. I called and they even said this is the first time LSAC has allowed something like this and LSAC will grade it themselves. They werent even sure what preptest they were going to use if it was going to be new/combination of experimental/or old or what. Not sure whats going on lol but didnt see how it could hurt to attend as it could be a way of getting nerves out and getting used to the tablets/testing procedures
