When reviewing LR questions I got wrong, I like to use the wrong answer template to help me review and identify why I chose the wrong answer and why the correct answer is wrong.

But I never know what to write for the part of the wrong answer template that asks, "How do I change my process to do better in the future".

What would be an example of a concrete lesson or feedback to oneself that someone can write in for this part of the template? I usually write vague feedback. For example on one of the questions I was reviewing I wrote, "pay attention to sufficiency/necessity confusion". But I don't think that's concrete enough.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Whole Test Stamina

Hey everyone,

I am taking the LSAT in September. I have been studying for about two and a half months by now. Since the beginning of August my studies have been more "serious." I have been doing two practice tests & review a week, and timed sections (usually on "target time," which is typically around 30-32 minutes for the recent PT's) from other practice tests on the days in between. My PT scores during this time range from 162-169 (the mean is around 166), my BR scores range from 170-177 (probably average is around 174), and in my timed sections I typically miss between 0 and 4 for each section on RC and LR.

My concern is that my PT scores tend to be lower than my timed section scores. Occasionally I will do very poorly on a single section in the PT, because I get overwhelmed, tired, confused, or frantic during the test. Sometimes I feel this is due to some general burnout, and sometimes this happens because of a perceived lack of time on my part. For example, on my most recent test I got -2, -4, and -8 on the scored sections, and on that last one I ended up running out of time and more or less guessing during the end. On the Blind Review, which I start within an hour and a half or so following the PT, I am able to see the answers clearly.

I'm aware of the issues, but I'm not sure how to safeguard against them when the real test happens. If anyone has any tips regarding stamina (also regarding burnout), I would love to hear them.

Does anyone have advice on how best to use my remaining 15 clean practice tests and move forward with studying for the October LSAT?

Can anyone speak to whether or not performance in the experimental sections is a good / better indicator of performance on the LSAT?

I have been studying for the LSAT since June and I've been putting a lot of hours in (between 15-30 hours a week). I will take one LSAT in September (my first) and one in October.

I have 15 clean practice tests left. My scores are generally trending in the right direction, typically 165-167 with 170 on the blind review. (Target score is a 170 or higher).

I am concerned that my practice test scores are skewed by me remembering answers to questions I've already done or seen. I routinely get -3 on the LR sections which include questions from the curriculum, but between -5 and -8 on the experimental sections which don't seem to have questions included in the curriculum. I also spent a few weeks burning through drills which resulted in 25 untaken practice tests which each have over 30 questions that I have seen.

To be clear, I have 40 untaken practice tests remaining, but ony 15 that are clean. I have only taken the modern prep-tests and none of the obsolete tests.

Hello Beautiful People, I love to hear success stories and I would love for you to share your journey as your score moved from the 130's to the 150's. I'm currently in the mid 130's, studying full-time, and with Sage plan to move this score to the 150's. How long did it take and what did you do? Thanks!!

Discouraged :(

I have been studying for months now after taking my LSAT in June and i got 7stage after that test. Ive been following the syllabus, blind reviewing and watching all the videos of ones i got wrong and didnt really understand and im scoring on my two practice test a 142 and 146. I got a 146 on my exam in June and i just want to break 150s for my next exam in October. Im not sure what im doing wrong but i really need help and if anyone has advice that would be greatly appreictaed

Hi,

I'm wondering how I would go about drilling a full section of LR/RC without using a preptest. This answer has been answered a couple of years ago and it seems like the method/UI has since changed on 7sage. Would I just up the drill size to 25? Would that give me an accurate distributions of 1-5star questions? Need some #feedback #help

Study group and advice

Hi everyone!

I'm currently registered for the October LSAT. I've been studying on and off for about 2 months now and I started focusing more last month. I'm currently studying around 5/6 daily. However, I still don't feel confident and/or comfortable with the material. Do you think I should reschedule it for November? Or should I just take it both October and November (I don't mind doing so). Is it enough time to build more confidence and get more comfortable with the test?

I also would love to join/open and study group!

PT in two parts

Is there a way that I can take 2 sections of a PT and br and then take the next two after and br those. I don't like how i have to do all 4 sections before BR because as of right now i am trying to focus on accuracy not timing. Will i just have to make a drill with the two sections and do it that way? or can i make a practice test like that sorry if this is a dumb question

I’ve been studying for the LSAT since the end of May, I’m taking the September and probably November LSATs, but right now the last thing I want to do is sit down and drill and go through problems and practice tests. I know I’m burnt out but I need to raise my scores, does anyone have advice on how to deal with this?

Landing screen

I don’t know if anyone else this issue but everytime I open the app the landing screen is a blank white screen. I don’t know if this happens to everyone or if there is anything I could do but is there a way that I can configure the settings such that the Home Screen appears instead of an all white / black screen I need to click back on?

I am signed up for the September LSAT, I had originally planned to take the October LSAT but since I won't know my official score until just a couple weeks before the October test, I figured I should wait and take the November LSAT instead so I have more time to study. I am planning on applying for Fall 2025 so applications are either already open or are opening soon. Will waiting to submit my applications until after the November LSAT affect my applicant status/chances for scholarships/chances for getting into a school at all?

hey everyone! I have been studying consistently for about a month and a half and get really sick from stress. I was bumping my score but I entered a stage where whenever I look at the screen I feel tired and nauseous. Worst part is my Pt score and drill scores have gone down too. What can I do?

I purchased my first lsat prep book in October of 2020. It was the princeton review book. Things haven't been easy, and I've used many different prep programs, but in 2023 I started to see major progress through 7sage. I've never given up. I work on the lsat every day.

Ill be 28 next month. My conception of an lsat student is someone who's like 22 or 23. What is the relationship between the lsat and someone's age? I love learning more and more about the test each day. I want to get a score in the 160s and get into my local law school. But I cant help but see, in my peripheral vision, the months fly by

Breaking 160S

I have been studying for the past couple months for the September LSAT. My last three PT's have been in the high 150s and I am so close to breaking 160. However, I am stressing/feeling discouraged because the test is in three weeks. Any advice on the most helpful ways to study between now and then? I am currently reviewing missed questions on my PTs, drilling, and doing a wrong answer journal. Hopefully next PT will be better?

I just don't think I'm going to have all my materials ready the way I want them to be to apply by the end of October (which I understand is common). My goal, ultimately, is to get a full-ride somewhere--but are these sorts of scholarships even still given out "later" in the cycle? Hoping so. I honestly think I might have to wait until November or December.

Are you sure?
