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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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?

LSAT package

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

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?:(
