PTing for LSATFlex

Hi Everyone,

Now that the June LSAT Flex has been announced, how are you planning on taking your PTs to adjust to the new 3 section versus 5 section? Are you still practicing with 4/5 sections?

Thanks!

I am getting through the CC and wondering how I should attack the practice tests starting from PT37 and up. Is it plausible and yet effective to take all those tests or should I take one a week considering that I have at least four per week? I was thinking at least one a week and BR+Review as well as review all of those I don’t take in timed conditions. Any advice?

I heard that the LSAT makers are going to remove Logic Games sometime in the near future is that true and what do they plan on replacing it with? (All I gotta say is I hope they don't get rid of it, Logic Games is my best and favorite section - sorry to those that hate it, but I think they're kinda fun, it's like a puzzle).

Hello,

I am a sophomore in college who is new to the LSAT preparation scene. If I am correct, there are only 80 practice exams released that I could use to prepare for the LSAT. I have been kind of hesitant to start taking tests because I want to make sure that I am maximizing my score from one test to the next. Can anyone give me any advice?

I have been studying with 7Sage for 6 months, with the first 3 months only spending about 1-2 hours per day. Recently with quarantine freeing up some time I have really ramped up my studying, and will complete the Core Curriculum in the next 2 weeks. I have signed up for the June test, but it has recently been announced that it will be a Flex test. With this test not being in person, I am now conflicted as to whether I should just take the June test and hope that August is in person for a second test, or push the test back to July and hope that one is in person. Obviously, pushing the test back would give me more time to study, but it is also unclear if any tests in the next few months (or even the rest offered this year) will be in person.

I would love to know what you all think about the Flex test, and how you are making your decisions as to whether to go ahead and take the Flex test or push your testing date back.

How does LSAC normally handle appeals for registering after the deadline? I failed to realize the June 2020 registration deadline was April 24th (largely due to finals for school, but that doesn't excuse it. Are they normally forgiving?

LSAT Flex (Scratch Paper)

Just heard back from LSAC - as of now they have not decided whether or not scratch paper will be allowed. So for anyone taking it in may should prepare for the possibility that it won't be allowed...

LSAT June Flex

Alright all your future lawyers, let's have a bit of debate. I wanna hear people's opinions on writing vs not writing the online administered June LSAT (3 sections vs 5). I'm personally on the fence and want to hear what other people think and the pros and cons of the situation

Hi all,

I am 22 and planning to take the LSAT in a couple of years. I was wondering: If you had the opportunity to go back to age 22, and knowing that you would be taking the lsat later, what are some useful habits you would have cultivated to give you an edge at the lsat? would you have read more, read more difficult stuff, practiced grammar in some way,...

Many thanks!

Worried

I'm new to studying for the LSAT. I have been working through 7Sage's CC and am on the LR section of Causation. I study full-time but have been shocked by how long it takes me to go through the videos, work on a problem, and BR it...

Based on 7Sage's custom schedule, I've been very behind despite studying as much as I can each day...

I have to work on accuracy as well as comprehension speed. Despite being a good student, I need to refrain from reading the stimulus 3 times to understand it... I have had a goal of taking the LSAT the first week of October to apply to my dream school early decision (I've asked and the school said they do not know if they will extend the ED deadline due to COVID19 so I doubt they will).

Is this realistic?

Edit: My goal is acceptance at T14 school that guarantees a scholarship for ED. I believe the Oct 1st LSAT is the latest exam they will accept for the ED deadline on Dec 1st.

Hello,

I just have recently started studying for the LSAT and I am about 60 hours into the Core Curriculum after about 2 weeks. I am going through massive up's and downs when it comes to LR as it is very new for me. I am just beginning to introduce myself to Must Be True questions and I did a problem set with a high difficulty but got 0 correct even after BR (fucking abhorrent, I know) which is really discouraging. I was just wondering how long it took some of you guys to see significant improvement in LR?

I am determined to get a good LSAT score and keep going. My GPA is nothing to worry about but I really want a good LSAT score as well. I guess this post is me wanting to know if there is light at the end of this tunnel.

Thank you!

Studying Tips

Hi all,

I plan on taking the LSAT in November and since I just started and I'm on a time crunch I was wondering if any of you have suggestions on how to study? I'm also a student so I'll be taking classes in the summer and full-time in the fall. Would it be a bad idea to go through the curriculum to understand the concepts and only do a few practice sets (not all since it is a lot and takes up a good chunk of hours) and then get done by mid-july and just keep on doing practice tests until November?

Thanks!

I am registered for the July 2020 LSAT, I have been scoring low 160s and I want to improve my score into the low 170s. What are the most useful 7sage courses you have used so far and that I recommend doing. The course planner is saying I need to spend 90+ hrs a week to complete all the material, but I don't think all the material is 100% required right?

Please let me know what you all think, I'm an LSAT newbie.

Doing Worse on BR

Hello 7sagers,

kinda bummed because a couple weeks ago after hitting my highest blind review score (163) my most recent BR score has plummeted to a 157. Looking at the blind review stats there were a handful of questions in the LR section that I changed from correct to incorrect. Any advice on how to correct that going forward, taking the LSAT-Flex in 3 weeks so any advice is welcome.

Hello everyone,

Some 7sagers have requested we host another skipping strategy seminar because they either missed the first session or because they have follow up questions from the first

So, @"Cant Get Right" and I are going to host another session on Saturday, April 25th at 7:30pm EST

We are going to do a deeper dive this time

As these things work a lot better when we know what to go into detail about ahead of time, please post your questions on this thread so we can tailor accordingly

This would also help other potential attendees know what to expect

If you're seeing this for the first time and wondering what it is, you can find out more:

a) about skipping strategy and specifically about what worked for me here:

b) questions following the first webinar:

Hope to see you there again!

Highlight tool

Does anyone know if we still have normal tools for lsat flex? Or if the highlighter listed on the materials list replaces the virtual highlighter we would usually get

I've taken full advantage of remote-working over the past few weeks to focus primarily on the LSAT. I've seen meaningful progress and a slight bump in my PTs because of the quality and quantity of time I've committed to studying. Now that quarantine appears to be loosening its grip for those in different work situations, I can't help but think of how much time I WON'T be able to dedicate towards studying.

Are there other Active E's or O's also studying for the LSAT?

How are others with demanding job hours - anything outside 9-6 - looking to prioritize studying? What did you all do prior to the pandemic?

Earlier this week I sent this email to Juliet (from student services). If you want to discuss further or are interested in seeing the texting thread (which I didn't add to this message) let me know.

Juliet,

I don't know his last name but his first is Di. His alias on 7Sage is "Heart Shaped Box". Regarding specifics, I reached out to him through the comment section in early January. We setup a payment schedule through Venmo $150 for 4 sessions. On about January 27 we had just completed the 1st of our second set of 4 sessions, so I had a balance and 3 more sessions remaining. As we all know the pandemic was in it's very early stages and my wife is an anesthesiologist in the Boston area. The significance of this is she got sick early Feb, and we have a 2 very small children. My focus shifted away from studying at the time as I needed to take care of our household, and as we all know all hell broke loose very shortly thereafter. I did not communicate with Di (since that last session in late January) until 2 days ago. Following is the text thread of my attempt to reach out to Di and ask for the remaining balance to be refunded. Nothing has been added or subtracted. I have not since contacted him nor has he contacted me.

As I hope you can see/tell, he is refusing to return any of my money because I "disappeared" etc. There was never any discussion of these stringent terms on top of the fact that the circumstances (a worldwide viral pandemic of which my wife works the front line) were far from the norm or what ANYONE could have predicted. If he simply decided to not be so immediately confrontational and talk to me we probably could have figured something out that worked for us both. He never attempted to seek out any understanding of my situation and predicament. Like I said a couple of times in the thread I was so disappointed. I thought we had at least a professional ability to communicate. We actually had a friendly rapport. I really did not expect that sense of hostility that he conveyed. I was totally taken aback and I think any other potential student should know what happened.

Again, I appreciate your help!

Rich
