Hi everyone,

I would love to know how long it took you to reach your target score? It would be great if you can specify if you were studying full-time or part-time, and you diagnostic and final score.

I am trying to plan out when to write my next LSAT since I was not able to reach my target score after 4 months of full-time studying and to be honest I am feeling a little demotivated and I think it will help me to learn about other people's journey.

Good luck o everyone taking the exam on Monday! We all worked our butts off, and it will pay off. Almost time to relax and enjoy too much Thanksgiving food. Kill it!!!!

I feel so stressed... I didn't realize that my photo des not fill the 2x2 space until I just printed it. I'm freaking out. I hope they don't turn me away. It's in colour, but cropped weirdly...

Curious if November LSAT takers are taking it to apply this year or next year? Always curious because if its next year wouldnt you have plenty of time to keep studying and taking the LSAT early spring? If this year, then of course its the right move

First of all I want to thank 7Sage and 7Sagers for the incredible help they offered in this long, rewarding journey. My October LSAT score (171) is very satisfactory and I am grateful for that. I have a degree GPA of 3.80, with a cumulative GPA of 3.88 (I transferred after my second year). My GPA might look better to admissions than the number itself, because it comes from one of the most academically challenging institutions.

So such are the numbers I am facing now. Before the score was released, I was constantly preparing and my score is in the range of 171-174, mostly 173. But I PTed yesterday and today, getting 170 and 171, respectively. I think I might have reached my ceiling? Yet I cannot shake off my aspiration that I might get lucky on the exam day and maybe hit 173 or 174? Plus, I would be blaming myself for a long time if I don't try until the last effort and have to live in the life of "what if". I think getting a 173 would give me a much better shot at HYS? I am pretty positive that I would not score over 174, the possibility of that is close to zero.

So my question would be that will a score like 170 or 169 look really bad in the retake? Is it realistic for me to shoot for a 173? I have cancelled September, and I really don't want to cancel again. In short, is the risk worth it? Thank you guys so much, any suggestion is welcomed!

What tips/strategies have helped you the most in improving your understanding and/or score between practice tests? Thank you in advance!

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to see what everyone is planning on doing before the day on our Nov test day.

For those taking the test, I plan on waking up around 9ish, having a good breakfast, review some light LR, some light LG, maybe one or two RC passages. Afterwards just relax, watch T.V., take a walk and do some things that are lightly stimulating to keep the brain juice flowing. I plan on going to bed around midnight because the test is at 12:30.

Anyone else want to share what they are doing?

I've been studying for the LSAT since July 2019. After taking a weekend long crash course, my timed score was 158. In the subsequent months, I've gone through the core curriculum, worked with a private tutor, and used the Khan Academy practice resources. My last practice tests have been 157, 156, 154, and now 150. This is going the opposite direction that I want to! I am scheduled to write the January exam, and my goal is to score 162-164. Any advice to stop this downward spiral?

Hey guys,

Would anybody that recently purchased the LSAT be able to advise me on which package to get? I can either buy the LSAT wriitng separately and CAS separately or there's an option to purchase a whole bundle package (LSAT, CAS, 6 reports). Any advice on what you guys did?

Thank you!

I'm taking the Nov test on Monday and it'll be my last one...!

But I had a dream last night that a completely new type of section was introduced into the test starting with Nov, and I had completely missed the memo. The fact that it was a paper test should've tipped me off that I was dreaming lol

However, with so many different LSAC policies rolling out over the last few months, it did make me a little paranoid so I just wanted to check in..........

Aside from the test being digital and writing sample being a separate component, there isn't anything else about the actual LSAT test content & administration itself that is new, right?

It's still 5 sections 2 LR, 1 RC, 1 LG, 1 experimental with a 15 min break after the first 3 sections?

Thank you and best of luck to everyone!

hey all!

I am at an average of 160 on my PTs with the following breakdown:

-0 Games

-6 Per LR, sometimes less, sometimes more.

-13 on RC

If I improved my RC, it could totally push me into the 165 range. With only 7 weeks left until the Jan exam, I'm seeking advice on the best way to improve my RC score. Advice on LR is welcomed, too!

Thanks all!

Hi everyone,

I received a 172 on October's LSAT. I know I should be excited and grateful, and I am. But I am still tempted to take November's test in a few days which I am registered for. Of my last 5 PTs two were 172s and the rest were 175 and up. My thinking is that since they only count the highest score, the advantages of possibly doing better outweigh the disadvantages of possibly doing worse. Doing worse is a real possibility and I already have one cancellation from July. My weakest section is LG and If I get a hard LG section my score could suffer. I've ranged from -0 to -10 in LG. I can tell right away If I bomb a section and would cancel but I think 2 cancellations look really bad. I am not sure if I should retake, and would appreciate your thoughts.

Can I please get feedback and recommendations for LSATMax as source for LSAT Prep

7 Sage is excellent,but I was wondering about LSATMax as a supplement source for LSAT Prep,thinking in terms of Jan 2020 exam

How do you get to JY review of all the latest question that was held from nov2-nov16

I will make a longer post about my LSAT experience later, but I wanted to give a huge shout out to 7sage and your community. I'm breaking up with the LSAT, and cant wait to enjoy my freedom.

To everyone still studying, just know you all will reap the benefits of your hard work! This test absolutely broke me at some moments along the way, but I always remembered the long game. Dont give up!

Hi everyone I've been using 7Sage for about 2 months now. I originally planned on taking the January LSAT but I realized recently that I'm not as close to my goal as I want to be (high 160's). So I decided to push back and take the test later next year and give myself much more time. Despite all that I've learned about the LSAT the biggest epiphany I've had is that going from the mid 150's to the high 160's is a lot more work than I expected. I'm fine with pushing back the test but since I have so much more time to prep I don't know where to start. I moved through the core curriculum pretty quickly and I'm thinking about going back through it. I also do not know when I should start taking PT's... I know that while the core curriculum is important for understanding theory, PT's are the best practice. Since I have access to every PT on here I want to get through all of them...

Any recommendations on where to REstart?:(

Hi everyone,

I have been studying for the lsat for a few months (4), and I can't seem to break the 150s consistently on my PTs (highest 152). I usually average a 145, and my short term goal for now is to score a 155 by January. Does anyone have any tips for me?

Also, here are my study habits! maybe there is something wrong with that.

Monday- Friday, 10 am to 12 am = creating problem sets and doing Logic games and drilling them from the first 40 LSATs.

12:30 to 2 = looking through LR videos again (I struggle in this section the most).

2 to 3 drilling reading comp from problem sets.

I usually do 2 practice tests a week. I struggle the most in LR, and seriously need help on improving that!

So currently I'm PTing at around 140, with BR of 150, and my goal is 163.

My current plan is to Do a PT one day, BR it the next, and review my answers the following day. Ultimately trying to squeeze 2 PT's in per week.

Since there are a ton of wrong questions, do people usually review these past wrong questions on their own day? Also do people make a question bank of the wrong answers to redo them?

If you have an efficient strategy, please share as it would be much appreciated!

I’m a military spouse and I have been studying for about two years now! My scores are very competitive and I was planning on taking the January test but my husband just got word that we may be moving to Belgium for a year or two depending on the contract! I was wondering how bad it was if I took the exam but waited those two years to apply to schools? I didn’t know if the admissions offices see the dates that the exams were taken on the application! Any help is appreciated! :)

So I took the test in June and got a 163, took it again in July and got the same exact score so I canceled and signed up for October. I just got back my October score, and I got a 160... I'm feeling really anxious because it seems that it will look really bad to law schools that I did worse on a recent exam. I don't plan on applying for a few years, but I'm dreading the thought of having to take this exam again. I'm also stressing because I've taken courses and read a ton of prep material, and also took pretty much every PT. I'm at a point where I don't know what I should do.

Has anyone been in this same situation? Any advice?

I'd appreciate any input at this point.

Hi everyone, I just finished my core curriculum, and I have some strategies I want to impelement in the drilling and preptest stages and I want to talk to someone, one on one in private chat or skype or whatever medium is easier, it really helps to hear someone else's impression of my studying strategy and to get some quick pointers, I do have some friends who have done lsats who I can speak with but usually they give me very general tips and then get back to work to hit their billing target for the month lol, jk but really wondering if this practice is even a thing.

Thank you!

Sorry this is a bit late, but I wanted to give a very big shout out and thank you to JY for conducting multiple BR sessions with prep test 88. I can't tell you how incredibly helpful that was, and it was great to get to know some of the other 7sagers as we went along. JY, thanks for taking a huge amount of your time to help us get better scores. It also is quite an honor to get to work directly with you. I'm sure we are all better for the experience.

With LSAC's recent announcement that they will release lsat scores to law schools before the lsat writing review has been completed, I wonder about how this policy change will affect CAS reports.

My report is currently being held up because LSAC hasn't released my writing sample review (despite completing it before an applicable application deadlines), although my october score was released today. However, within my LSAC account, my law school report appears ready to be sent. The report status under the school I applied to says :

"Report generated: type credential"

Does this mean that the CAS report has been generated and will be sent?

Thanks!

Hello to everyone taking the November LSAT next week and I wanted to wish you good luck and tell you that we freaking GOT THIS IN THE BAG. We're gonna kill it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Apologies if this has been answered before but preparing LG drills and I noticed there have not been any spatial games in an exam since ~PT 35.

Has this been noted by LSAC / is it considered "dead?" Just trying to hone in on games before the test next week and want to make sure I am using my time wisely.

Thanks so much!
