I am really worried that I am not where I want to be and that I am forcing a time frame. I really want to apply for the 2021 cycle, but I just don't know if I can make the october date. I have a full time job and it is hard for me to even get 3 hours a day in. My current score is mid 140s and to get where I want I would need a 160. I haven't made it through the full cc and I am really having a hard time perfecting the fundamentals. Any study tips or life advice is GREATLY welcomed :)

Hey everyone,

I'm getting more and more nervous as the test day is creeping up, mostly because I couldn't reach my target score yet. I'm still scoring at the low 160's and BR'ing around low 170's. I average at around -5 in each section and I'm looking for ways to use my remaining time most efficiently to boost my score.

I have been taking 1 PT every two weeks during my prep stage, and I recently got it down to 1 PT every week. Now I'm wondering if next week (the week before the LSAT!) I should take 2 PT's for extra practice OR focus on problem sections that I'm more likely to see results in, being LG and LR, and drill individual sections. I thought I could divide my days into two dedicating one half to LG and the other half to LR for example and do only 1 PT for that week as usual.

The same question goes for the week of the LSAT but this time it is should I take one PT and focus on that or drill ONLY timed LR and LG sections.

And on a side note, while I feel like I finally have a good grasp on LG, the best score I've got so far was a -3. I seem to be losing points due to stupid counting/diagramming mistakes or going too fast on questions that required more time. I don't do such mistakes when foolproofing so I'm wondering if for the last weeks I should be taking fresh LG sections and then BR/review them exclusively to see the quickest results.

If anyone has other recommendations or words of advice I would appreciate them so so much.

Thanks and happy studying :)

I have registered for the July LSAT-FLEX. What would be the last day to withdraw with coupon? I am considering withdrawal because I am still in 60% of myt core curriculum and didn't fell prepared. I have also registered for the August test. Any recommendation that I should still take the July test just to get first-hand experience for the test?

Hi 7Sage folks!

Does anyone have any recommendations for LSAT tutors? Or tutors are any of you taking on new clients? I'm taking the LSAT flex in July and although I'm doing very well on my PTs (getting about 167-169). I would love to work with a tutor to hopefully boost my score a little so that on actual test day I'm able to bring my best game.

Let me know! Thanks!

MY THOUGHTS: It says that A is correct and I dont understand why? I get that it is elimination, but if Quasi has one that is higher than it wouldnt it be B? I am seeing that it doesnt say that four is the highest, that we shoudn't assume, but when you look at question A it says that Nice has two stars and headstrong has three stars making it that Nice is less that headstrong so that to me means that rating four must be the highest. So how can quasi be four and then headspace be three? It also says in the rule explanation that quasi cannot recive a rating of just 1 or two stars. I guess i am asking when they dont tell you what rating is the highest how can you know which anwser is right when they give you two possible anwsers? I am deff overthinking but just need someone to step by step clarify why it is question A!

ACTUAL QUESTION: A critic has prepared a review of exactly six music CDs- headstrong, In Flight, Nice, Quasi, Reunion, and Sounds Good. Each CD received a rating of either one, two, three or four stars, with each CD receiving exactly one rating. Although the ratings were meant to be kept secret untill the review was published, the following facts have been leaked the the pubilc.

RULES:

For each ratings, at least one but no more than two of the CDs received that rating.

Headstrong recived exactly one more star than NICE did.

Either Headstrong or Reunion received the same number of stars as In Flight did.

At most one CD. received the same number of stars as In Flight did.

At most one CD received more than stars than Quasi did.

Which one of the following could be an accurate matching of ratings to the CDS that received those ratings?

ANSWERS:

(A) One star: In Flight, Reunion; Two stars: Nice; Three stars: Headstrong;Four stars: Quasi, Sounds good.

(B) One star: In Flight, Reunion: Two stars: Quasi, Sounds Good: Three stars: Nice; Four Stars: Headstrong.

(C) One star: Nice; Two stars: Headstrong; three stars: In Flight, Sounds good;Four stars:Quasi, Reunion.

(D) One Star: Nice, Sounds good: Two stars: In Flight, Reunion; Three stars:Quasi; Four stars: headstrong

(E) One star: Sounds good; Two stars:Reunion;Three stars: Nice, Quasi; Four stars:Headstrong, In flight.

I took a practice test not using 7sage, and wanted to input my answers to get to see the 7sage analytic breakdown. Is there any way to do this without just starting the same PT as I would normally and redoing it with my other answers?

For the August 2020 LSAT groups, should I make a Facebook page, GroupMe (I think there may already be one, I can link it) or some other form?

Hi. I am currently registered to take the LSAT July 13. This was a last minute decision, as I originally planned on taking the LSAT in late August. I registered for the July LSAT out of fear of not receiving a score back quickly enough from a late August LSAT for sending my application in as early as possible (I would like to get into a t14 school). However, I am in a course that running on a schedule that assumes I am taking the August LSAT, and as it stands: a) I have only taken three practice tests and the highest score I have gotten is a 164 and b) I am shooting for a 170. I am worried that I will not get the score I would like on the July LSAT and will have to take again in August. My question is--- do I withdraw my registration from the July LSAT and get more practice in before I take the LSAT? Or, do I go ahead and take the LSAT in July, hoping for a score that would allow me to get my application in as soon as schools begin accepting applications? The crux of my question is getting a good score and maybe having to take LSAT twice/getting application in as early as possible.

Thanks if you've made it this far!!!

Does anyone have any idea how many words the writing sample should be?

I took the May LSAT-flex and, at the time, couldn't find any rules in regards to whether using control F during the reading comp was permissible, so I decided against doing so just to be safe. I will be retaking in August, and was wondering if anyone has used control F or knows if that's allowed? Thanks!

HI Guys,

I am a little bit iffy on what to write about for my personal statement. Would that be more of a resume about why you want to go to law school, or tell a story about yourself? Currently, really confused. SOS.

I am unable to find the highlight button. What I think is the highlight button (looks more like an eraser) doesn't work.

Hi!

I'm having a hard time distinguishing when it would be most helpful (and efficient) to use charts in grouping games. On the June 2007 practice test, I used a chart for game 4 - the recycling centre question and it worked for me but JD doesn't use it in his explanation video. I guess it did take me a bit longer using the chart, but I can't quite figure out the precise characteristics of a grouping game where charts would be most beneficial.

Help!

Hi! I'm taking the July flex. I've read a lot complaints about the test being proctored poorly and about proctors requiring things that seem a bit impossible, like keeping the computer/webcam far enough away that the proctor can see everything that I'm writing on my scratch paper and and also my face. With my computer, I have to put the computer far across the table (too far to be able to read anything or even type) in order to show both my face and an entire sheet of scratch paper). I've also read about other strange issues like being interrupted for looking too closely at the screen?

Does anyone have any advice about what I can do to help make sure the flex goes smoothly for me? Has anyone said anything to their proctors before the test to lay out any sort of ground rules and expectations? I'm also wondering if anyone bought a different webcam setup to mitigate any of this? Thanks in advance! Just feeling a bit jittery after reading all these horror stories.

I have heard that law schools like to see one good score rather than retakes, but have also heard that it can be good to send in a better score after your first one to the schools you apply to. I know it's better to apply earlier, so I'm wondering if it would be more beneficial to take the LSAT in October and apply in November and then also take the November LSAT, or to just take the November one and apply in December so I have an extra month to study and only one score?

Hello all! I’m having trouble bringing my timed score up to my BR score. Based on my scores and studying history, how do you guys think I should continue to study in order to bring my scores up?

Studying Background:

I scored 152 on my diagnostic on May 1st. Since May, I’ve completed the LSAT Trainer and the LG Curriculum from 7Sage.

The Problem:

Today, I took my first PT since the diagnostic and only scored 157. I think the problem is that I'm too slow. In literally every section, I run out of time around question 20 and am forced to quickly guess on the last few.

For context, I was only able to complete 3 games and it takes me about 4 minutes to read a passage in RC.

The reason that I think this is a “timing” issue instead of an “understanding” issue is that I have 85% accuracy on the questions that I do answer and because my Blind Review is solid (178). I only spend about 30 minutes on the Blind Review, so it’s not as if I spend all day to bring the score up to 178.

My Questions:

Based on my studying background and the problems I seem to be having during the exam, what would you guys recommend I do to bring my score up?

Is my problem a timing issue that can simply be resolved with more PTing? Or does my low score suggest a fundamental lack of understanding? Should I be doing multiple timed PTs a week or continue to focus on fundamentals?

As you can tell, I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.

Sincerely,

A fellow LSATer.

I'm confused as to why we ruled out spent fuel rods on the basis that they never contain "significant" quantities of tellurium isotopes? In the first sentence of the stimulus, it just states that they found "radioactive isotopes of iodine, tellurium, and cesium" which doesn't mention the quantity so I'm confused as to why J.Y rules out fuel rods for that reason? There could be SOME tellurium, just not significant amount.

Hey everyone, I've been noticing in PTs that my second LR section score is significantly lower than the first LR section. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you get past it? Unfortunately, I feel like I mentally check out by the time I get to the second LR section because I just want it to be over with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because it's really bringing my PT scores down.

What do people think about taking the LSAT again? In general is it a good idea and is it reasonable? On a personal note, I recently took the May LSAT Flex and I am signed up for the July test. I did good on the first one and have recently taken a few weeks off to focus on other things, but I came back to a PT today and got the same score as I had on test day. That made me think I could get a better score if I put a couple more weeks of prep into it. Does anyone have any advice from their own experiences about taking the LSAT more than once? Thanks everyone, 7Sage and its community have already raised my score a whole bunch and I am forever appreciative of everyone.

Hello everyone!

I'm in my third year of undergrad and planning to do two more years to improve my gpa. I have never written the LSAT before and have registered for August 29 2020! I'm only taking one course this summer and thus, I thought it would be a good time to study for the LSAT The issue is, I have now(unfortunately) planned a routine for both (lSAT and the course) and I fear I don't have enough time to study for it. I also registered for August because I plan on taking 4/5 courses in the fall (although the LSAT date is during the fall break) and I was planning to register for 7sage to study for the lSAT on August 29. I'm conflicted between the two and was wondering which one is more beneficial?

Hi, is there a way of taking tests directly on Lawhub and then transferring them to 7sage to make use of the analytics?

Hi guys,

I registered for the July LSAT-Flex, but I do not feel ready yet. However, when I tried to withdraw it from the LSAC website, it said "not eligible to withdraw." Does someone know whether we can withdraw LSAT-Flex or not?

Thank you!

I'm nervous of being ready in time for the October LSAT, but want to ensure I get my test scores in early enough in the admissions cycle. I'm aiming for 170 - still need to get faster on LG and RC.

Hi everyone. I did the Khan academy test prep, but made the mistake of really only doing the tests and not really trying to learn anything. I started 7sage a few weeks ago and am working my way through the CC now. I know I would like to have a tutor but I am curious when the best time to get a tutor is/when most people accept students. Is now a good time to seek a tutor? Or do I need to be doing PTs to benefit from a tutor? Thanks!

Hey guys! Does anyone know how the timing works for the flex? For example is it just 3 35 minute sessions consecutively? Are there breaks? Does anyone know where I could find more info about it?
