Hey all, I am wondering if anyone has any great resources for the essays. Trying to identify what they are about and what admissions councils will be looking for. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to access all my starred questions together, instead of clicking into each practice exam? Was marking questions up while going through the core curriculum and I wonder if there is a quick way to access all of them besides the LSAT explanations page. Thank you!

So ive been studying for the lsat for two month (not seriously) but i took a three week break of studying BIG MISTAKE! i was scoring 14-15 per LR and other sections around that as well or maybe more. But i decided to get back to studying and actually take it seriously so yesterday i did my a section of Logic Reasoning and I got A FREAKIN 9 i also took another one today also got a 9 which is what i first got the first time i ever did an lsat. i cant understand why my score decreased so much i feel so unmotivated and shit about it. like it doesnt make sense at all like what the MY NEW SCORE IS TELLING MY IS THAT I LOST ALL THE KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION AND HOURS OF STUDYING BC I TOOK A BREAK. (sorry for the lack of punctuation). has the happened to anyone before? also any tips? im screaming

I am looking for study advice. I just graduated from University with a quite a high GPA and am looking for a goal score of 168+

I started the core curriculum on June 5th ish. I have been studying since then, for about 3-5 hours every single day. I didnt take a cold diagnostic, I took the june 2007 free test after finishing the core curriculum, scoring a 156.

Since then, I have taken 3 practice tests, all under strict timed conditions. I scored 162 on the PT 36. I scored 163 on PT 52. And a 165 on PT 38. So in total, I have been studying for close to two months. I am wondering where to go from here. I am planning on taking the October Test, but am willing to wait a full year and study full time and take the test in 2020 if it means I can possibly get a higher score.

3 main questions:

Should I increase my studying time? I can do 5-6 consistently every day. It seems that 3-5 has been working well but I can definitley increase it.

How should I really study? Currently Im just doing 2 timed sections a day plus BR. Or sometimes Ill do a full PT worth of sections in a day then review it the next day. Sometimes, and I know this is bad, ill just do random stuff... I also try to do as much LG as possible, since Ive only finished the games from 1-10 plus whatever Practice tests ive done.

Lastly, is a 170 possible within 3 months? Im not familiar with score increases. Assuming im about a 160-163 right now,can I go 7-10 points in 3 months? Or should I prolong the test to next year?

I don't understand how the July 15 takers are supposed to get a free retake in September if the cancel options is not available yet and we cant see our scores until the 28th of August to see if we want to keep or cancel? Am I missing something? Can anyone please clarify?

Hello all,

I just signed up for 7Sage ultimate a few days ago. I've been studying for about 8-9 weeks now for the LSAT and have improved from my diagnostic of 140 to a 164 average. I noticed when signing up that there are study guides. I am taking the October LSAT and signed up for the study guide for October. Should I complete all of the core curriculum and should I finish the core curriculum before starting PT's?

Does anyone know if there exist or will exist a live commentary of a digital LSAT practice exam?

Hi everyone,

The July test is my first LSAT test. I’m debating over whether I should registered the September test or should I waited to just take the October test with a canceled score for my July test ( I don’t think I will be happy with my July score and more than likely I need to retake anyways). Giving the consideration that the September test is less 10 weeks from now, would it be a wiser choice for me to just wait for the release of July score, then canceled. Or is it better for me to go head and take the September test and hoping I don’t need to take the October test?

I’m currently scoring between 155 to 160 range and is hoping to apply for this coming application season.

Thanks for all your help!

What is the best approach to doing logic games during blind review?

When I started PTs I was doing foolproof drills (isolating each game to work on getting it under target time and then checking for accuracy until target time is reached or under target time and game is at 100% accuracy). In other words, I'm checking for both time and accuracy (so I basically foolproof them until I have the correct Acs and enter an LG Blind Review score of -0). However, I'm wondering if that is not okay and/or does not make for an accurate representation of my blind review score and/or my strengths/weaknesses in LG.

Would it be better to:

A) Aim for accuracy: do the entire section untimed and enter blind review answer choices (without checking for correct answers until after blind review score is shown)

B) Aim for target time/under target time: isolate each game, look up the target time for each game via 7Sage and do the game until it is on or under target time and enter blind review answer choices (without checking for correct answers until after blind review score is shown)

C) Do what I already do?

I am trying to get an accurate representation of my blind review score but that could mean - 0 or - X amount depending on what method I choose. I also want to get the most out of my blind reviews of my PTd LGs.

Hey everyone this probably one of the most repetitive questions you all might see on the fourm.

So I finished CC probably in February (a year before I had run through it once but never really PTd) and I started to just practice some problem sets and RC passages and had to take a break for about a month due to finishing up my courses. My goal and what I need is between a 161-165.

I just need someone to help me organize a study schedule and advise me on how to study as I do find 7sage daunting but helpful!

Is it just me, but is the October 2019 test have VERY FEW locations? I went from having a testing cite 4 miles away from me for June/September, to that site not being open anymore and the closest cite being 20 miles away.

So I completed the LSAT Trainer on my own and thought, maybe I should do 7sage since it gets all these great reviews and it seemed like a great investment. But I found out that I can get all the LG videos for free and I can still use other aspects of the website without having to spend a dime...my question is it worth going through 7Sage curriculum if I've completed the LSAT Trainer since so far it seems very similar as it is in fact the same guy who wrote the book (JY).

Hope this doesn't offend anyone, I just honestly didn't realize there would be a similarity in the course and to anyone that's done both I was wondering if I maybe made a mistake? Thanks!

Edit: Alright Thanks for all the responses I will take it into consideration I have 2 weeks left before refund runs out. Thanks again!

How many PTs did you take to reach a score you were happy with?

And if you don’t mind sharing, what was your diagnostic score, your goal score, and how long did you study to achieve that score?

I took the July LSAT there, and the proctor's unprofessionalism ruined my entire test experience (I registered at a different test center, but was somehow reassigned to Sonesta). Let me recapitulate what happended during the test day. I took the paper based test in July.

Before I entered the test room, I had everything inspected by the proctor. Nothing was wrong, she let me in, and I finished the first three section undisturbed. However, after the break and shortly before the start of the fourth section, the proctor approached me with a gold ticket, saying that I had violated the test policy by having a eraser with a sleeve. I was so confused and angry, and had a hard time focusing on the rest two sections. Of course I had the eraser inspected by her before I entered the room, and it is pointless to consciously hide a eraser with a sleeve (like, what can I even do with it?). So afterwards, I approached the proctor, and asked her what is going to happen next. She said do not know, because she is just a contractor, and I need to contact LSAT. This is just ridiculous.

I know someone is going to say that I should learn to read if I want to be a good lawyer, and I completely agree. But I think the main issue here is that the proctor is confused and inconsistent with the rules. She ruined my entire test by not understanding what she is supposed to do. I also don't get her motive, like is she trying to show that she is a professional and dedicated employee? I just don't get it.

Also, she forgot to instruct us to copy the certifying statement before collecting our admission ticket. Luckily someone pointed out her mistake, and we wasted another ten minutes for her to hand back the admission ticket before the test start.

I just took my first practice test two days ago and my score was significantly lower than when I take timed sections. Even the first section was low comparatively.

What I mean by this is: timed LR section I've been around -3. But on my PT I was just about -6 on each section. Just curious if this score discrepancy occurs for others as well? If so, does it mean anything? tests I used for sections and prep tests were 48 and 51, respectively.

(1) Would you ever wear this?

(2) Furry or athletic-style?

(3) What catchphrase or logo should we put on the sole?

Does anyone have any tips for the writing sample portion? Thank you.

Usually when I take a PT, I score like 162-165 range. After my BR, I usually score like 172-176. I'm trying to do two tests per week, but ultimately the range isn't changing much. I feel like I just don't know how I am supposed to study. So, after the BR...what should I be doing? Yes, I do look at analytics and it'll say I missed a lot of flaw questions under time, but not under review. So,I've tried redoing CC, but I just don't understand what to do.

What do I do after BR? What sets or drills? Is it even possible to get a 170 by September. I'm losing hope at this point.

Ok so hi everyone I've been stalking reddit/7sage forums for a while now and I've been studying for a month and a half and doing sections and using LSAT trainer, and old practice tests to do mentioned sections. Now I'm kind of plateauing with LR and LG even untimed it usually ends up being 2-5 wrong for LR and 2-7 for LG (untimed, timed it's like 5-7).

So I'm confident from what everyone has said that improvement is possible and I'm optimistic for the LR and LG every where it says timing and perfect scores consistently is possible it just requires a lot (emphasis on lot) of dedication. That's all well and good. Here's where I get kind of messed up on: Mental focus and stamina not to mention physical.

I already get bored within a few seconds of each question, but thankfully I'm getting better at it but after about 2 sections or maybe 3 I absolutely need to go for a walk. Not to mention I do intermittent fasting which means lots of fluids which means I need to use the restroom at least every 90 minutes since hydration helps with mental clarity (ironically). Does anyone have any tips besides repitition to increase a) my ability to handle long 4 hour tests (I think its 4 with essay right?) and if anyone else does IF do you have any tips to handle the singular break? Thanks a ton and sorry for long post eek. Also tips on breaking plateaus for those sections would be appreciated as well it's just they're not super pressing to me

Of you guys that just took the July LSAT but are already registered/plan to register for September, any advice? How are you guys staying motivated while waiting for your July score?

Hi everyone,

I think the title more or less captures the spirit of my dilemma. I went into July feeling not incredibly confident but definitely more so than I should have been. I was naively worrying about getting a 169 (since I was PTing in 170s fairly consistently), but promptly went in and had a panic attack during the first LG section and completed only two games. Would love to get some 7sager feedback on whether I should sign up to retake in September, October, or both.

For more context, I know I have some significant work ahead of me in terms of gaining confidence in logic games, to the point that I don't get shaken up by test day jitters. It seems equally possible to me that I will be more than ready for September, or not prepared until October. I'm currently leaning towards September because I'd obviously like to have my score as soon as possible to apply this cycle. I also feel that it might alleviate some of my test anxiety, since in the back of my head I'd know I still had October as an option. (A huge cause of my meltdown this time was my desperation to be perfect on my first shot.) That said, I obviously don't want to take the test again until I'm absolutely battle-ready.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I'm taking the September 21 LSAT and have already been studying for about 2 months. My diagnostic was a 143 and my most recent PT was a 156 (raw score of 65). I just created a study schedule for myself in hopes to reach my goal of a 165 by the test date. Do you think that is possible in this amount of time?

My current schedule is:

Monday: PT+BR

Tuesday: Drill LG section & RC section timed and review

Wednesday: Drill 2 LR sections timed and review

Thursday: Drill LG section & LR section timed and review

Friday: Drill LG section & RC section timed and review

Saturday: Off

Sunday: Review work from previous week & drill an RC section

This comes out to 3 LG drills, 3 LR drills, 3 RC drills and 1 PT + BR per week.

What do you think of this schedule? Should I add more or change anything that I'm doing? I just bought the 7Sage Ultimate+ program so I've been using JY's explanations for everything that I get wrong and even questions that I get right but weren't certain about. I have PT's 1-86 so I've been drilling the older ones and taking PT's with the newer exams.

I’m going on vacation soon and there will be a 2 1/2 hour plane ride so I was thinkin I’d get some LSAT studying done. Anyway to watch the videos without WiFi?

I know uva has a 15 day turnaround for ED. Can you ED multiple law schools, like Cornell and UVA at once?

Hi, I am a mom of three kids and have been graduated from US school with a MS in Chemistry many years ago. I am studying LSAT and hoping to achieve a good score to get in my dream Law School in 2020, registered both Sept and Oct tests. I have learnt LSAT fundamentals in the last one and half month and do feel have a good understanding now, however need to significantly improve my performance with speed, or I do not get to one quarter of the section or even half of the questions in timed PT. I do feel a lot to do is to make up the training on dense material reading and be able to go through questions and answer choices quickly which I am lacking, due to being in science major and English not being my first language! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, or anyone who is interested in counseling me on and off from time to time please do contact me. Thank you very much!
