Hi Guys,

I am currently at the exact 50% mark of the core curriculum, which is right in the middle of the NA problem sets, and I have a test date booked for August. I am wondering if it is most beneficial to finish the core curriculum before starting PTs (I have only done one full test, the diagnostic, thus far). Thanks for your opinion!

I’m getting a message during my problem sets that my security token has expired and it kicks me out completely. Can you please advise? Thank you.

I'm taking the July flex exam next Saturday and I feel so discouraged. I'm not sure what to do to feel more confident for next week. Any advice?

Hey Guys! I will be taking the LSAT in October. I finished the CC in the last week of June. I built a new schedule which involves me taking 22 PTs before Test day. Only doing 22 PTs would allow be to devote enough time to reviewing every mistake and drilling my weak areas. I took my first PT today and scored a 163. My goal is to hit 168. Is a 5 point jump achievable as I take and review more PTs? or should I go back to the CC and spend more time on my weak areas and then start PTing?

My score breakdown is as follows LR -5( -4 BR) LG -3 (-1 BR) RC -7 (-5 BR)

Does ProctorU work on a Kindle HD or HP Stream?

After getting thoroughly clapped on the June LSAT (8 Points lower than my PT average), I figured many factors could've played into it. I've taken 18 PTs all-time.

For those who have taken an administered test or are close to taking their administered LSAT, how many Practice Tests have you taken and would wish to take?

So, I've been studying for the LSAT since February but only got 7Sage in mid-April. While I've seen massive improvement, I just hit an all-time high this past weekend (FINALLY breaking the 170 barrier!) and I think with another month or so I could score that on the actual exam.

I'm scheduled to take the July LSAT-flex this coming week, and the deadline for August is July 15. I don't want to take the October since I'm hoping to be getting my applications out by then. I guess I'm wondering if there's a disadvantage to prematurely signing up for the August test? If I score my highest I would try and back out of the exam unless, for some reason, that's a huge "no" to schools. I've been super anxious about it and feel like having the August as a safety net would help but am worried of any unanticipated consequences I may not be thinking of.

I recall a post about the June LSAT Flex where someone said their proctor repeatedly interrupted them because they couldn't see what they were writing on the scratch paper. Sorry to not be commenting on that original post, as for some reason I can't find it anymore. I was wondering if this was just a particularly finicky proctor, or are you actually required to show the entirety of your scratch paper while you're working on it? If anyone who has taken Flex can comment on their webcam placement, I'd be really grateful! I guess I don't see how it could be pointed directly at your face and at a piece of paper on your desk at the same time? Thanks in advance :)

Hi all - do I need a printed ticket to show the proctor on ProctorU for the LSAT-Flex? Thank you!

Hello! I am someone who gets nauseous when I am nervous. I am afraid during the test I may feel the need to barf or run off to the bathroom.

I am also a low income student with no anxiety medication.

I am an also industrious student and trying to make myself as comfortable as possible with the test before test day!!!

Does anyone have any tips for those with horrible stomachs that contain our worst fears? lol

Has anyone done a cleanse leading up to test day?

Anyone else experience anything similar?

***The standard breathing exercises won't help with a physical manifestation of anxiety (at least in my experience), so any responses telling me to calm down/breathe/etcetera won't be the most helpful ;(

I eat healthy and go on walks everyday. I will try my hand again at yoga

Best

Hey everyone. I've been studying for the LSAT for over a year now, and I was finally hitting 170-175 on a consistent basis until this past week. Despite having gotten 172/173 on my last several practice tests, I scored a 163 and a 164 on my two most recent ones. I'm taking the July LSAT in 10 days. Has anyone experienced pre-test drops in performance like this? I'm assuming this is due to test anxiety, but I'm unsure how to mitigate these issues because I want to keep practicing before the test. This time may be my last chance. Any advice is appreciated!

I recently completed the core curriculum and decided to take PT 36 completely untimed. I scored a 172, and although I know this is not indicative how I will perform under actual testing conditions, does anyone have tips on how to improve timing? I am aiming to hit the 170+ range timed by the end of August (not sure if this is reasonable).

Powerscore said June 2020 flex was from Feb 2011/2012. Should we practice with older LSATS from the 2011-2013? Or will we have a brand new test for the upcoming July flex? I feel like there are slight differences btw 2012 tests and 2019 more modern ones. Thoughts?

Thank you 7sage!

I took the June 2007 test in late May after studying on and off with Khan Academy for about a year and scored a 161 (at that time, my record was 165). I have been planning on applying this upcoming admissions cycle, so yes, I decided to cram the whole of CC in about 1.5 months. I finished the CC today and took the February 1997 PT and scored a 174. To be honest, I can't believe it. I had seen a few LR questions and one LG game so the score may be a bit inflated, but I feel like my reach schools are actually very attainable now. I have so much confidence in my abilities now and am excited to continue to drill and see how much I can continue to improve before I submit my applications.

Bottom line is that I want to thank 7sage and JY for putting together such an awesome and intuitive learning experience. Before I found this site, I was feeling defeated, demoralized, and demotivated at the slog it felt like I had ahead of me. Today, I know that I've put in the work and will continue to do so, but my dreams wouldn't be possible if it weren't for everyone one here.

Thank you!!!

Is there any harm in cancelling one's score? I'm registered for the July Flex, and am not scoring where i'd like to be... (I previously scored a 172, and am retaking it to bump it up; however, all my PTs of late have been averaging around 172, and i know i'm not where i need to be to make the increase i'd like).

On a related note, is there harm to retaking and scoring lower? I.e., will schools consider lower scores that come in after previously higher score, or will they disregard them in favor of the higher score?

Thank team 🙏

Hi everyone. I'm currently PTing at around 160 with BR at around 162. I've been scoring relatively the same for about a month now. After every PT, I BR, watch the videos for the questions I missed, take note of the question type, and drill those questions. I'm scoring the lowest on RC and LG. I take about 2 PTs a week and genuinely feel that I've made improvements after drilling - only to be hit with the same score every time. I'm also a little concerned about my BR scores being so close to my timed scores.

I'd like to increase my score by about 10 points, but I'm just not sure what else to do to get the results I want to see. Does anyone have tips for getting over this hill?

Once completing a PT and blind review, is there a way to access the questions from the PT (like we do in our lessons and blind review?) where we can see which questions we crossed off, etc.? Or do you guys recommend taking PT's on LSAC? Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

hi, this might be a silly question but after you input your answers for a preptest into the answer sheets on 7sage, how do you go about inputting answers for a blind review session on that same preptest?

(i did a preptest directly on lawhub and then manually transferred all the answers into the 7sage answer sheet for that preptest, now i'd like to redo the test using the blind review method, but not sure how to put in my answers on 7sage).

I have been beating myself up on my LSAT scores. This is only my 2nd week of studying and I should be easier on myself; I got a 150 on my first practice and a 144 on my diagnostic.......I have a 3.9 GPA. Is this normal? I'm a perfectionist and I am really trying to get into a great school. Goal score of 163-167. Is this even possible? I just want to make a difference in the world. :/

Hi, I'm currently registered for the August 2020 LSAT and wanted to see what my options are. I have heard that law schools consider any applications submitted before Thanksgiving to be early, but I'm not sure this is entirely true. I would really appreciate any feedback!! I can definitely take it in August, but if taking it in October means an increase of a few points, then it may be worth it. Thanks!

Hey guys, I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew and need extra time to study. In the e-mail we got for the July 2020 LSAT-Flex, LSAC noted that there is an option to opt-out and get a coupon for any LSAT from Aug till next April, but they did not indicate a deadline. I tried e-mailing LSAC to ask if there is a deadline and haven't gotten a response yet. In your experience, has there been one? I'm trying to see if I can still study till I'm confident enough for the July LSAT-Flex, but I don't know how much time I have to make that decision. Would appreciate your thoughts!

Hi, so I am scheduled to take the July FLEX on the 14th and am not comfortable with my scores as of now. I have been studying pretty seriously since around January and am averaging 168/169 on my recent PTs with my highest score being 171(although that was a few weeks ago.) I used the PowerScore Bibles and Khan academy for the most part and only came to 7sage around a week ago. Since using JY's explanations for LR I have improved a few of my LR problem areas, but as I'm still averaging -3/-4 per LR section I know I can target a few more question types with a reasonable expectation that I can improve those as well. LG is typically my best section and I tend to average -1/-2, however RC has seriously been tripping me up lately. Initially it was my strongest section but lately I have been missing anywhere from 4-6 questions in a given RC section. My goal is a 173 and I'm wondering if there is any way I can possibly get there in such little time, and if so would it be more prudent to continue drilling LR in hopes of getting that closer to -1/-0 or to spend the majority of the time I have left to target RC? Has anyone had any breakthroughs in RC in such a short time frame? I'm definitely beginning to trip out with the test date so close and not having reached my goal yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello!,

I was going to take my first Prep test soon and I wanted to keep the stamina level as close to LSAT as possible. When you go to take a PT on the 7Sage website it only offers 4 sections and I was wondering how would you incorporate a 5th experimental section on the site?

Hey there,

A little background on me. Started studying, full-time (forty hours a week) in November of 2019. I was scoring in the mid to high 160s consistently. I took my first official exam in January 2020--had a horrible test day and came out with a 164.

Started studying again, this time for about 20 to 25 hours a week, in April. I had five practice tests in a row where I scored a 174. Then I hit slump and my scores hovered around 170. I took the June 2020 Flex and scored a 170.

Looking to take the test one final time in August 2020 and hoping to score a 173. I should be able to devote 20 or 25 hours a week to studying.

I typically go from -0 to -3 on LR, -3 on RC (almost every time, which is frustrating) and logic games is a bit all over the place (when I'm in the right headspace I only miss 1 or 2, but sometimes have an off day where I mess up a whole game).

I've taken probably fifty practice tests, finished the core curriculum on 7sage, gone through the Powerprep books on LR and LG, and read the Loophole book for LR.

With only about 13 fresh practice tests, I'm unsure of how to best use my studying time headed into this last retake. For anyone that's been in a simular situation, what would you recommend? It feels like I need to refine rather than learn anything new so this go-around seems different than either of the previous two.

Thank you for any advice you've got!

Hi! Does anyone know how to set the problem set timer to 35 minutes? I don't want to see my time going from 0:00 to 35:00 so the unlimited feature isn't useful. Rather, I want to have the timing set to 35 minutes to 0 rather than the 33:50 when I take full sections.
