Hey Everyone,

I'm nearly finished with the core curriculum. I started my initial PT in 2017 and I think it was 141(ish). My PT's now are low 150's. I've taken 4. Granted, I have a toddler, so after testing a section I will spend about 10 min to make sure he is set up and doing well with his activities (so it may not be a completely true score).

My question is, how do you know you are ready to move past the CC and into the PT's? Do you have any indicators that I can go by? I have been on 7sage 3 years. The first year I went through it, then had a year off due to having a baby, and then have spent the past 8 months on the CC. Anyway from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours per day.

I am wondering if I need to go back through it, or keep pushing through PT's and just working with the blind review.

Thanks!! And thank you for taking the time to read this!

Hello,

I am a rising junior and plan to take the LSAT my senior year. I am also extremely new to the world of LSAT so I have basically no idea how to formulate a study plan or how my diagnostic should be viewed (if any help I would obviously like to score 170+).

I took the diagnostic on Khan academy and got a 159 (-4 on first Logic Reasoning, -14 on logic games, -7 on Reading Comprehension, and -5 on last Logic Reasoning) -- not sure if that should be converted to -9 on logic reasoning, -14 on logic games, -7 on reading comprehension.

I recognize that I am begining to study seemingly absurdly early but I have a few reasons for this

1 - an abudance of time this summer for obvious reasons

2 - not sure I can devote much time during the academic year.

With all of this said, what should my long-term study guide be. I have no ideas what I am doing right now or how to generally go about this, so any and all feedback is much appreciated!

(Also sorry if these types of questions are redundant or are not welcome here)

Thanks!

Hi everyone. I have just started studying the core curriculum. I wanted to ask if we are supposed to be marking the Logical Reasoning questions like JY does during his explanations. Also, can we cross out answer choices? Are these features available on the digital version of the test? Thanks for the help.

Is there any roadmap to be able to take practice tests on 7sage in an lsat flex format? I've been taking my tests with skipping the 2nd LR section, but the 0 in the 2nd LR section is skewing my analytics page. Would love it it was possible to exempt the 2nd LR section for scoring / analytics purposes.

Finding a tutor

Hi guys! I hope you and your loved ones are doing well!

I am in the process of finding a tutor, and I was wondering if those who utilized tutoring services during their LSAT studying could share their experiences (positive or negative).

I have some general questions:

  • How did you go about finding your tutor?
  • What did you look for in a tutor?
  • How often did you meet with them, did you find that effective?
  • What is the typical amount per session (if you don't mind sharing)?
  • How long did you utilize their services?
  • When did you start with a tutor (for reference- I am about to start the LG part of the CC, so still foundational)?
  • Did you see a score improvement, and if so, was it substantial?
  • What are some good things to ask during a consultation, to see if a tutor is the best fit for you?
  • And any other general insight/ advice.
  • Thanks so much in advance!

    Flex Worries

    I broke the 170 barrier with a 177 on PT 86! I then got a 172 on 87. What's the best way to keep this scores up and not falter when my July test comes up? (It'll be my first take!)

    So i am taking the lsat in june, and am right now getting perfect on the games and roughly -3-5 on Logical Reasoning. I just started studying reading comprehension now and did 4 sections in the last 4 days, every section i got -6-7 on. Is there any legit advice to get this into the -2-4 range before June? Just a lot of repetition and doing a reading comp section everyday? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi,

    For LSAT Flex takers, does anyone know if you are allowed to have Advil or Ibuprofen on your desk? Not a whole can but just one pill in case of headache etc. I can't find anything about medications on either the list of allowed items or the list of prohibited items.

    Thank you!!

    I have just completed the June 2007 exam and I am scoring considerably higher on the blind review. I think if I started reading faster which would perhaps enable me to get through all of the questions this could considerably help improve my score. I did not complete each section before the time was up.

    Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?

    Hi,

    I just completed PrepTest 75 on the LSAC site and I want to see the explanations for the answers I got wrong and questions I was iffy about here on 7sage, do I need to fake take it on here to get to those or is there a way I can mark myself as having completed the Jun 2015 test and then review?

    Essentially, what is the fastest way for me to get to the review?

    Thanks.

    I put in a twelve week window with 20 hours and it reverts back to 68.44 hours per week. That's mind-boggling. I can't study for that long every week, I have a job. How can you make it so gives you a twelve week plan @ 20 hours per week? If someone could guide me that would be great. I want to upgrade to the Ultimate+ version but this is holding me back. If that doesn't work could someone email me a screenshot of their 12week 20hour plan? Thanks.

    TLDR: Can 7sage please create 3 Section LSAT Prep Tests for students who are currently now prepping for the LSAT-Flex?

    Since the format of the new exam is different in that we do 3 back-to-back sections, rather than 2 sections, break, 2 sections, I am sure many of us are trying to adjust our practice test setup to mimic actual testing conditions.

    Currently, our options to do so are either to

  • create our own problem sets out of prep test sections, which means we don't get score conversions and data about our performance doesn't show up in the analytics tool, or
  • we take a 4-section LSAT and skip the 2nd Logical Reasoning, which means that in the analytics tool our scores are WAY lower because we get 0/26 on one section.
  • 3 Section LSATs would be really, really helpful. Thank you!

    I'm confused. I took the June 2007 PT on paper. Now, do I input my answers into 7sage to get the raw score? Or just stop, do the blind review, then input the answers I got on the blind review? I'm just lost as to where we input both our raw scores and our blind review scores. #help

    Hello!

    I am looking for some study advice after not getting into my target school this cycle. I have already taken the LSAT twice, once in October and once in January. I scored a 157 and 156. I was PTing higher at around 162, with a few at 164 and 165. I had a lot of test anxiety and the second time around had a RC experimental section, which is my worst section. Two RC passages killed me :( Unfortunately I burned through A LOT of PTs without doing proper blind review (I hadn't heard of that method yet) and didn't have good organization. I haven't studied in almost 4 months and I honestly don't have track of what PT's I've taken, because I went way overboard on the timed sections.

    I've read all of the Power score Bibles and have completed one of their online courses. The last few weeks of my studying I stumbled upon 7sage and really liked the methods and the online format however didn't have much time to use it. My goal score is high 160's, as my target school's median is at 168. Sometimes I don't know if it's even possible for me to get my LSAT that high. I'm sure like many of you, I get frustrated because I feel like I study a tremendous amount, yet do not see the gains in my score. Just looking on some guidance on how to spend my upcoming time. My goal date is September, however that is flexible. I thought I'd work through the course material, but am wondering how often I should do a PT? or how much time I should spend full proofing games? I would say LG is by far my best section at around -2 average, however every once in awhile I come in at -5 or -7 which significantly reduces my score. Any guidance is much appreciated! Thanks!

    Please Help!!!!

    Hey Everyone!

    First off, thank you for reading my post. I need help! At my current school, we do not have a law school advisor, and I am in this blind. I don't know how to go about ANYTHING. I want to apply for law school for Fall 2021. I currently have a 3.9 GPA, and I have no idea where to start with the LSAT. I don't know when or where to start preparing for this whole process. Honestly, I know nothing. I tried to find help at my school, but they don't focus on law. Can someone please help me? I need guidance. After reading a lot of the forums, I just ordered the PowerScore Self Study Package, and the LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim. Any advice will truly be appreciated. I feel like I am at a complete loss!

    I need help figuring a timeline, how to go about the LSAT preparation (PowerScore has a study plan, but I did not pay for the digital test), and the whole application process itself.

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry for the heavy topic while most of you are stressed, but if anyone has advice for me, I would appreciate it. If you feel uncomfortable with mental health, I would stop reading here :) Thank you for clicking on the post anyways.

    I have struggled with depression for a few years. A couple of weeks before COVID, I discovered a study routine that works for me (for university and LSAT) after months of figuring things out. Then, the pandemic hit and I was confined to a tiny apartment with my family. I am having such a hard time focusing, let alone motivating myself to study. I don't even have my own desk here (I used to live in a dorm). Who knew not being able to go to a cafe or library would be this devastating?? Plus, I'm always tired and I just feel... burnt out. The last two weeks have consisted of me playing Stardew Valley while internally stressing about the LSAT, telling myself that I was just giving myself a break. This week, the pressure hit hard and I have tried to study, but I just... don't want to?

    I took the LSAT last year and did miserably because my mental health was not great and I did not study much. However, this year, I WAS motivated and now... I'm just not. I'm signed for the July test, but honestly, I just feel so unprepared (hitting high 150s, when my goal is 165+) and the stress is getting to me. I feel like I can't even explain to my parents that I want to reschedule because I "used my depression card" last year to explain my score and I feel like I can't use the same "excuse" this time because they'll think I haven't learned from my past mistakes. So, I know some people will say to reschedule, but that's just not an option for me.

    I know COVID is impacting a lot of people right now, with some losing their jobs and family members... it's hard on anyone. So if you are struggling, I feel for you.

    Any tips, even if you don't struggle with depression, with motivation, concentrating, etc. would be appreciated.

    Hope everyone stays healthy and happy.

    Thanks for reading this long post :)
