Hey all;

Yes, you've read it correctly. After six months of studying, using the LSAT Trainer, PowerScore Bibles, and 7Sage, unfortunately, some of the items I just haven't been able to grasp. Februrary is my last chance to take the LSAT. I did fairly well on the LG Section (17/23) but my LG and RC were awful (-11/-17) respectively.

I figured, since this is my last shot, I'd try something different. On the day of my test, I did not get much sleep that night due to a nasty cold and cough. That contributed to a lack of sleep, which increased my nerves, not to forgo the long drive to the testing center, I figured that had something to do with my poor performance. No excuses though, I've previously prepped at a 157, high of a 162.

7Sagers' I work full time as a Paralegal, and have 8 short weeks to improve to (hopefully) the 160's. Does anyone have any advice on how I could take this. A friend of mine recommended I drill questions, so I upgraded my 7Sage to Ultimate, and plan on drilling questions. Reading Comprehension, in the digital format, do you have any suggestions on how to improve that score, I have a lot of improvement that is needed in that area. Normally I would get -5 or -6 in LR, and I've had untimed test that I've done really well at, minus the RC.

I will take any advice or motivation at this point. My girlfriend doesn't seem to understand the magnitude of how unfortunate this is and the predicment this is having on my mental health. I am a Finance Major, but the LSAT is killing me. Would you recommend taking a practice test (Preptest 80-88) in the weeks leading up to the LSAT and drilling questions by question type in my mean time?

For those of you who have taken the LSAT before, how noisy are the rooms that you take it in? Is there a lot of people making noises or is it pretty quiet? I just can't concentrate when there's a lot of noises happening at once so I wanna know if I should factor that in to my prep test.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I posted a couple weeks ago about thanking 7sage and I'd like to do it one more time now that I am officially done with my cycle.

I've been accepted to Penn Law, and I'm thrilled to be heading off to law school (finally!)

Can anyone give me advice on what to do prepare for law school? What books should I be reading or how can I start preparing for law school exams or what to study in terms of learning the black letter law. I know that there is a wealth of knowledge and advice for 0L prep so I'd really appreciate it if anyone could weigh in on this.

Thanks again so much!

So I'm re-taking my test in march of 202 but I don't know what to study anymore since the October LSAT didn't disclose what sections we did poorly on. I studied religiously up till the night of the LSAT and was consistently scoring between 162- 171. If anyone wants to form a study group or know how to study for this problem.

I have been studying 3-4 hours a day from Monday-Saturday starting July. Around 1-2 for LR in the morning and 1-2 for LG in the afternoon. RC is my strongest section so i have only been focusing on LR and LG. I was just wondering if this is adequate enough to be studying for up to the April Test. I sometimes feel mentally fatigued and get many questions wrong while studying, so i was just wondering if should incorporate another extra rest day on Sunday and just study Monday to Friday. Im currently one year out of undergrad and I am a musician. So am pretty much a full time LSAT student and a musician on Saturdays and Sundays. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thank you In advance.

It’s almost necessary at this point. My December exam score was a 145, and I could not be more devastated. I didn’t have much practice before then, but still. I’m taking the January exam and my goal is to try to go up 10 points.

Is it possible? Should I give up?

How many hours should I study a day?

Where does the time constraint come from? Are we allowed to change it, or should we even?

I created a problem set with all the LR questions from 19 and it came out to 32 minutes, although it was only 24 questions.

Then I tried creating a set with the other LR section from 19 and it came out to 34 minutes, but with 26 questions. Does the time given to do the problem set reflect how long we should take when doing these questions during the actual test?

Hi all,

I am a senior graduating a semester early with a 3.75 UGPA from a top-30 undergrad and have very strong soft factors (varsity athlete, work with indigenous people, and worked with the ICC.) I was averaging 163 on PT's but got a dismal 156 on the November Test. I am curious if I should bother applying and hoping for the best or to just do a gap year and change my study methods? My goal is top 20. Currently planning on ED WASHU.

I took the LSAT for the first time in October 2019, and I studied everyday for 7 hours a day from May 2019 until the October test. I got a 152 which was well below my goal score, of a 165, and I signed up for a retake in January 2020. However, I'm really struggling to find motivation to study because the LSAT takes a large toll on everyone lol. Also, I'm at the point that I felt I did everything I could've done to study for the October test and I'm not sure how much better I'm really going to do on this one, especially because I wasn't able to study for a month after the October exam. Any words of encouragement and tips?

I'm devastated now. I scored a low 170s in the October test, and I screwed up the November test and got 5 points lower. I am aiming for T14s with a decent GPA and have already sent out my applications at the beginning of December. Will that drop significantly affect my chance? Should I provide an addendum to explain? Any suggestions would be helpful pleeeeeease!

Hey friends, I just got my LSAT score back. I was looking through my item response sheet and two questions were blank where my answer was supposed to be. I know for a fact that I answered every singe question because I remember having time at the end of each section to check my answers. Should I contact LSAC about an error? I know there's probably very little to be done but damn.. I swear to god I answered every question.

I sat in for July and November, just got my score back for November and only made one point higher. Should I try to take it one last time in February? I am applying for fall 2020. If I could get my score up just 5 or 6 more points it would almost guarantee I would get into my dream school. Meanwhile with the score I have now my chances of getting in are slim.

Hello all,

SO I am planning on taking the January 2020 LSAT. I have been studying since August and it has been such a wild ride of studying. IN November, I started doing untimed practice tests, and my scores were averaging 165+. I wanted to get a feel for the questions, games, etc. HOWEVER, a month out from the Jan LSAT, I started taking timed PTs, aka today, and my score lowered to a 149. I have never been good with standardized testing, but I do know each question type etc. What I am freaking out over is, will a month be enough time to get situated with timed PT's? I understand the material and I am not sure what to do about my current problem. I am also freaking out ahhaha. Also, I am BRing and everything. I feel like if I do not close the gap a week out before the Jan LSAT, I might postpone.

PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE PLZ PLZ COMMENT.

EDIT:

I also want to add that I took another PT and scored a 151. Also, LG games I have down, but the speed is what is killing me :)

Hi fam, I just finished my last exam of the semester, and I thought I'd return to this safe place and soak in the eagerness for law school that has been stripped from us 1L in the past four months. Oh and also to contribute to the community that has so graciously answered my questions when I was applying to law school. If you have anything you would like to ask about law school, please comment below. Judging from the memes on the Facebook group, my experience should be roughly the same as other 1Ls...

Hi 7sage! I was wondering if anyone knows when LSAC will be releasing the new LSAT testing dates? When I head on over to the LSAC website I only see January - April 2020 test dates and that is all. I might be missing some info and knowledge on how it all works. I hope to take the LSAT in July if it is offered. Thanks !

Hey guys, so I'm just about to go into year one of studying and recently started PTing.

This last month I decided to start PTing. I've completed 5 so far and have averaged 141 which is really frustrating. When looking through analytics a majority of loss is coming from RC and LR (averaging -16). I've considered going through the CC but I feel like I'm cheating myself because I've seen the answers for those questions already since I've done the content.

My question is what my plan of attack should be considering I'm set to write in march (might push it back if I start showing some dramatic improvement)? My goal score is 163. Also before it's asked, yes I've taken breaks from studying to avoid burning out.

Thanks for the advice, hopefully I start gaining traction soon!

Hey everyone

So idk about everyone but I received an email from lsac a few days ago saying that they take into account only one of our writing sections?? or have I understood wrong? I'm generally confused b/c I'm gonna do my lsat way before I apply to law school, should I do the writing every time I do the lsat or do it the one time I get the highest mark and before I send that score for application?

Sorry if it sounds stupid lol

Thanks!!!
