Hi! Does anyone know how to customize the study schedule to NOT include areas we have studied already?

No. Didn't break a 170.

Just wanna leave a short message and shout out for J.Y., 7 sage crew and all 7sagers who have helped me grow in this journey.

Diagnostic 133, after over 3 years of studying finally scored a 169.

It's been nothing but blood and tears but the result is worth it.

Now seriously debating on retake..really just wanna be done with it after all those years of grinding this thing but you know the dilemma...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It does not have the arrows to navigate between questions, and does not have the highlighter icons, etc. The page still functions (my time is counting down, I can fill in answers), but obviously this is far from preferable

About me:

To make a long story short...

7 Sage and specifically the Pacifico Attack Strategy helped me make a good LSAT score great which enabled me to get a $50,000 a year scholarship to the Top 14 school in my home state of Michigan as a KJD.

1L year, I received some fairly ordinary grades which were slightly below median while enjoying learning from some excellent professors and with my extraordinary peers some of whom I consider among my closest friends.

I was not sure if I wanted to pursue a public interest path or seek a firm job. So I applied to some firm positions in a kind of half-hearted way and didn't even get an interview. The first unpaid public interest job that I applied to, a job at the local Public Defender's office, immediately gave me a spot with no request whatsoever for grades or an interview. In part, because you can represent clients on the record in court in Michigan with the Public Defender's Office, I took the job. I financed my summer with a $4000 loan available to all 1Ls that I would only have to repay if I made a certain amount of money combined in my two summers.

At the end of summer, I went through Early Interview Week and despite bidding the least grade selective firms that I could and focussing heavilly on Michigan firms where my ties should have been appealing and interviewing with 25 firms(the max for our EIW), I received 0 call backs.

Since then, I have continued to apply to firms and cold-emailed many with minimal success.

I had only received any further interviews through OCI which has continued to have smaller firms and employers visit our campus.

However, I recently applied to a clerkship position during the academic year with a small firm in the area on Symplicity where employers can post job openings. After sending a follow up email, they immediately offered me an interview later in the week. After the interview which I thought went well, they offered me a position(paid, relatively sparsely compared to Big Law) during the academic year and the upcoming summer. I immediately accepted.

If that eventually turns into a real job, I'll count law school as a success because I have kept my debt pretty low(both through the scholarship and by commuting from my family home now) and will be able to pay it off with even a moderate salary. Within a year or so, I'll have paid off my debt as long as I'm making some money. So, I won't be trapped by debt and will hopefully be a happy lawyer.

That basically brings us to the present.

Ask Me Anything: I'll answer if it doesn't reveal my identity too much more than I already have.

I always look forward to the thank you posts from everyone who scored 170+ after each test cycle. This isn't that post. lol. I actually did better on this September test than I expected but I still didn't hit the coveted 170. I was disappointed for a brief moment but then I remembered where I started. I remembered what I thought was possible and I've already exceeded all of those expectations. I'm not a particularly good standardized test taker. I've had to overcome serious testing anxiety and commit to studying for this test while working full time. So for anyone disappointed that they fell short of their dream score, just remember the score really isn't everything. In my opinion, the journey is much more important. This September test was brutal, but there's a lesson to learn. Even if you think you bombed a section (shit, even if you KNOW you bombed a section) you owe it to yourself to finish strong and take the rest of the test one question at a time.

Has anyone else had issues recently using the underline and highlighting tools during prep tests? They worked for me before but for the past week they haven’t been working for me.

Its been one hell of a ride. I never thought that this would end but today it finally did. Its funny because I thought I wasn't ready and was considering delaying to study till March or June. So glad I took the opportunity to try and make it this cycle.

Hey everyone,

I hope all of your studies are going well, this is a great program. I've been studying for about seven months now and i'm taking my first official LSAT in February! I did the entire CC and have taken about five practice tests. I'm taking one a week until about two weeks out (Feb 22). My BIGGEST issue is time pressure. It's the bane of my existence. I answer really tough question relatively quick during timed drilling but when I sit down to take a full timed PT, I sometimes get so uptight that I have to reread passages several times and my accuracy suffers as well. I was just wondering if anyone else had this experience and how they overcame it? My current scheduled is practice test every Monday and then four to five ours daily going over BR and drilling. Mabye i'm suffering from burnout?

Thank you for any feedback..

Well got my score and indeed it confirms that LG wrecked everything. But looking at the score in the most favorable light, some thoughts emerge. Looking at my performance in the other sections, I scored at about my PT average for those sections. And my performance on those sections was hampered by my lack of focus due to games (Games was my section 2).

So while I didn’t get the score I wanted, nevertheless I’m feeling good about my chances in Nov.

So sept fam keep ya head up!

I just received my score for the September 2019 LSAT (first time I took the exam), and got a 155. I REALLY want to get to 160, and am planning it to take it in June/July 2020 (whenever the exam takes place). I am a little disappointed with my score, as I studied quite hard and was scoring at about 160 in my PT.

I am currently a Junior in university so I have some time left still. What is the best way to increase my score at least five points, if anyone has any advice that might befit me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hello 7sagers,

I was wondering if there was a digital tester feature where they let me take 1-2 sections at a time and be able to blind review them and stuff. Due to my schedule, I plan to take 1-2 sections a day and BR & score them right away instead of taking full PTs, but I can't seem to find such feature.

Is it even possible to take a section or two at a time, and if so, could you please tell me how I can do so?

Many thanks in advance!

took post down

Is there a particular section in The LSAT Trainer that coincides with the Grammar Section of 7Sage?

Hey all - i took the LSAT last January and scored a 148. obviously not happy and know i can do better. i have never used 7sage before but have done a lot of research and this seems like the platform to get me where i need to be. The school i plan on applying to has a deadline oof April 1st. was planning on taking the February LSAT this coming year.

I graduated last may and have been working full time in software sales at a start up company. Locked in 9-5 everyday but am not being watched and have the ability to maybe dedicate an hour or two from the 9-5 time slot to to studying.

Any advice, direction, etc. you can provide i would be very grateful of. Please don't hold back and be realistic.

Hi, my scores have been fluctuating for the past three months. It would go as high as 170 and low as 158. This month it went from 158 to 167. For example, like today I got a 160 on lsat 85 but I got a 167 on lsat 38, I got a 164 on lsat 84 but a 158 on LSAT 68.

My RC is the only thing that is consistent (75% correct) but my LR would go from being 95% right to 65% and vice versa but for LG. Has anyone experienced this and how can I be more consistent? Most common answers are 1) lack of focus 2) you got easy sections 3) don't take older tests. What do you think?

Hi all,

I am just starting out on my LSAT journey (I bought Ultimate+ five minutes ago). I will be applying to law school in Fall 2020 with the goal of taking the LSAT between June - September 2020.

For those of you who are farther along in your journey, what advice would you give a young grasshopper like me, or if you could do it all over again? I know the basics - don't waste valuable, recent PTs, the LSAT is harder than you think, the worst thing is not knowing what you don't know...

Open to any and all advice, specifically how I should pace the CC, balancing working full-time and studying, and long term (8+ months) study plans.

I heard so many horror stories with underlining and highlighting.

Is the real thing different from 7sage in terms of latency and accuracy?

Also, I use iPad Pro 2nd + Apple Pencil 1. Has anybody been practicing with that combination noticed difference on the real thing?

Hi All, I just took Oct LSAT in Asia (can't discuss, zip my mouth...), nothing disastrous happened although I was slightly nervous. Usually I score between 167-170. I want to apply to Cornell. If I get 165-167, which is below the median I'll should retake LSAT in January. In that case, should I still submit application in November when the score is released or do I risk being rejected out of hand? Advice is much appreciated!

can you skip to other questions and then go back? or are you forced to complete the questions in order???

I was just listening to the Thinking LSAT podcast and LSAT unplugged youtube channel. I 100% understand that it is much better to expand access in order to level the playing field for those that really need it. However, with the increasing amount of people that are trying to game the system, what do you personally think is going to happen?

Thinking LSAT thinks the LSAC will change the test and make it somewhat harder, because those that have extra time tend to score much much higher than those without it, and that number of people seems to be going up? If this is true, will this happen soon, like over the next year or two? After all, it is somewhat surprising to see the number of people with accommodations go up 400% in 4 ish years.

Hi,

When will the September LSAT be available to take digitally on 7sage? Thanks in advance!!

I know that when practicing on 7Sage we get the option of doing this. I was wondering if this option will be on the actual exam as well.

I'm used to taking lsats on paper where I can cross out wrong answer choices. Does the digital test allow you to mark up the test? For LG, i've been writing out a,b,c,d,e on a piece of scrap paper, but I feel like writing these letters out is time consuming. Any tips for taking the digital lsat? How different is the digital test is from the original test?

Is it allowed for September LSAT takers to send copies of the test to other people? It seems that the rest of us won't have access to it until late November which makes it irrelevant for me since my test is Oct 28. I would be willing to edit personal statements for that test. I am a high school English teacher for what it is worth.

Anyway I put this out there if anyone is interested, just message me.
