What is the average cost of a tutor? Is there a more ideal time to use a tutor than others, for example, would it be better to get the additional help when I am first learning the basics and still going through the course, or when I've completed the course and still have challenges?

Thanks,

Hi,

I was looking at the Preview App feature and saved documents in Word, but can reformat if needed, maybe to PDFs, and when I paged through an application, there were some blank pages, I think because the essays would have elapsed onto a new page if they were a little longer. I'll try to reformat later, but does anyone have other strategies that can be used to avoid this? Thanks in advance.

I am new to this and can't seem to find the answer I am looking for. I went through old discussions and it is not helping. I contacted LSAC as well but they have god forsaken respond time.

So you guys are my last resort ...

I recently paid $200 and took the LSAT. It sucked and I have to retake.

Here is the thing, though... I want to get CAS but only for two law schools. The only option LSAC has is for one or six law schools. I do not want six! Is there a way (maybe I have not figured this out) that I can purchase CAS but only for two law schools? Is there even such a thing? HELP!

Hi, a bit about myself - I was born Non-Verbal learning disorder, Auditory Processing Disorder and Disgraphia. I have a working memory in the 4th precentile and weak spatial abilities.

I desperately need assistance as to how to study. I have put in 1000s of hours, been using this site for over a year and am stuck at 158.

Please, can someone make someone suggestions and or personally give some help?

Thanks

I've been studying full time for about a year and have either drilled or PTed all of PT1-60. Right now I have about 30 fresh new PTs and trying my best to be economic with them. Unfortunately, I'm still not at my target score (165+) and typically score between156-163, but usually score on the lower end (158-160). Recently I've been drilling old LR sections and foolproofing the 1-35 bundle again to work on weaknesses (LG is my weakest section right now) but taking new PTs only once in a while to check my progress. If I'm planning to sit for June/ July and still have a way to go in hitting my target score, should I be retaking old PTs instead of new PT's and save the new ones for closer to the date? Or rotate between old PT's and new Pt's for the time being? Thank you in advance, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I was taking some reading passage questions and I am unable to highlight or mark any of them on my iPad. I am able to do it fine on my desktop, but unable to do it on my tablet.

I used it with both safari and chrome, and I am unable to mark it on either. Please help, thank you.

So...

I used 7Sage to build my LSAT skills from June through November last year; improving from a PT average of 166 - 172 in the process. On the real thing, I only managed to score in the mid-160s twice (I blame nerves.) My uGPA was only 2.8 so I knew I needed a good LSAT to have a chance. My softs are probably as strong as one's can be since I am an active duty military senior leader. I am non-URM.

Today I was accepted at my target school: William and Mary Law. With a really great scholarship. I almost can't believe it!

Additionally, I have a full-ride to Nebraska and a 3/4 to University of San Diego. I'm also in at a few safety schools. Decisions, decisions...

Folks, this website is the best resource I found and I can honestly say I wouldn't be where I am without it/you (and an unbelievable amount of hard work.) I studied an average of four hours a day for 11 months. There is light at the end of this tunnel if you give it your sincere effort.

Thank you for reading, fam! Onward and upward!

Right now, the arrow keys on 7Sage are shortcuts to go to the previous or next lesson/explanation. On some video sites, arrow keys are used to fforward or rewind video.

Some students don't like this, so we are thinking about changing it.

[Update]:

Thank you for your feedback everyone! The keyboard shortcuts are now:

← = Rewind 5s

→ = Fast forward 5s

shift + ← = Previous Lesson

shift + → = Next Lesson

Over 15 months after scoring a 139 diagnostic and over 4 months after getting my first 160+ I have finally crossed the biggest bridge. Feels so good to have put so much work into something so difficult and see the benefits...even though it's taken what feels like an eternity lol.

I know posts like this helped to encourage me before I even started studying so I thought I'd share my recent feat. If anyone wants any advice DM me as I'd be happy to provide some of the insight I've gained thus far.

Happy studying y'all!

Hi all,

It’s taken a few weeks for the news to settle in, but just wanted to share this wonderful piece of news. A few weeks ago, I learned that I got accepted to Columbia on a full tuition Hamilton scholarship!!

I never imagined such a possibility before I submitted my apps and I certainly never thought I’d get into a school like Columbia when I began my journey here at 7sage but here I am with this awesome piece of news and I am so grateful for all the help I got along the way from this community

Special shoutout to @"Lucas Carter" @"Cant Get Right" Rav, Alex Divine and many more

Most importantly, I’m sharing because I know many of you are right where I was at one point in my prep: dreading the score result of your PT after your Blind Review, reading another success story and wondering when your turn will come, wondering whether this journey is going to turn out the way you hope, fearing if you’ll ever get LG, etc etc

I just want to share some encouragement here: keep going! It’s totally worth it!

For perspective:

I invested about $5000 total on LSAT prep (programs/books/tutors/travel/lodging)

With this Columbia scholarship alone ($200,000 plus) I’ve effectively made a 4000% return. I get to attend a T6 tuition free!

So if you’re deliberating about whether or not to get a tutor, whether you should spend that extra $X to stay the night in a hotel before your LSAT instead of getting up an hour earlier to drive, ultimate+ or starter? reflect on the long term returns. Treat your LSAT prep as a long term investment!

If anyone is interested in learning about my journey, I’ve shared tips and advise in the past (check my post history)

If I can sum it all here, I’d say: worry about getting good before getting fast

And:

TRUST THE PROCESS

7sage and this community is all you need!

Best of luck everyone and feel free to PM me anytime!

I am just wondering if I should use the study schedule 7sage provides, or if I should keep going through the CC by section. I haven't been using the schedule at all, I've simply just gone through the lessons on the CC and am still on LR. I just recently looked on the study schedule and saw that it is wanting me to study LG and RC every week as well. I am pretty concerned if I have been studying wrong the entire time, since I haven't used the schedule at all and just have been going through the syllabus for LR so far.

Hi all,

I recently finished my undergraduate career with a 3.75 GPA from a T30 institution and have been studying the LSAT with consistent scores between 162-5. At my undergraduate institution I was a record holder and captain of an NCAA athletic team, on the student union, and had a leadership role on my campus's environmental relations board. In addition to my extracurriculars I interned for a Native American tribe's legal counsel specifically working on advocacy of policy.In addition to my internship work I studied in The Hague and studied international law with my university teamed with Leiden. I am currently planning on taking a gap year. My question is with my current statistics does anyone have any suggestions of law schools with good international and Indian law departments or with a mission statement which would understand my niche in legal experiences?

Thanks all!

My first diagnostic, I scored a 134. I signed up with 7Sage and only had two months to study prior to taking the Feb 20, 2020 LSAT. My second dignostic few days before the big day was 142. I thought about not going in for the LSAT because I just did not feel prepared (for obvious reasons). But alas, my over zealousness kicked in. I sat for the LSAT. I did not feel good walking out of it because I was ill prepared. I knew that going in but like I said, I just wanted to give it a go. YOLO. Anyway, I received my score few days ago, and let me just say LMAO. I saw it coming a mile away. I scored a 143. I am looking at it this way, I improved by 9 points just studying off and on for two months. I now want to register for November 2020 and give myself solid seven months to study.

But here is the dilemma, this voice in my head is saying to drop this and work towards masters in Social Work. My end goal is to help people who feel helpless. I also want to help neglected children. I know I can achieve this goal by being a social worker but I am not a quitter. I had Loophole delivered to my house today. I want to pick it up and fix the errors and get better. I know I can get better but why am I feeling this way?

So I’m studying some Constitutional Law and learning that WOW does the First Amendment not say what I thought it said (and what you almost certainly think it says).

Just going to leave this here. Use the careful reading skills you’ve learned studying for the LSAT and see if you can spot what I’m talking about.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Hi all! I hope everyone is safe and healthy during these times!

If for my last semester, I received an A- in a class while I previously received all A's, is this considered a 'drop' in my grades? (The A- was for an intro to digital photography class which is graded very subjectively)

Also, I took a class for pass/no pass and received a pass for the class in the same semester. Will this negatively affect me in admissions?

Thanks for your help!

Should I try to change the way I do LR and focus on the loophole book? Im more or less happy with the way im scoring now and Im scared changing up my strategy would hurt me. Any thoughts? I signed up for March but obviously its delayed to April, still no idea if thats even happening. If its delayed to June I should def have enough time to internalize the loophole book right?

Hi all,

I just finished the MSS section and didn't do poorly, but didn't get complete 5/5 on most problem sets. Should one continue to work on these questions before moving on to another section? I don't want to rush through material if I am not solid in other areas. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Hey everyone,

For some odd reason now matter how much I go through CC by the time I start LG, I forget LR. Do you have any methods I can implement in order to retain the information from CC? Should I review it every night?

Secondly, for those that have gone back and restudied CC again, is there any specific approach you used? How do you study? Do you go through LG first then LR then RC or do you study all three at the same time? This is really confusing me.

Thanks!

Longtime lurker and first-time poster here,

I am scheduled to take the April LSAT assuming Coronavirus doesn’t get it canceled and I’ve been studying exclusively with 7sage since October. I work full time so I just completed the core curriculum this past week after going through every single video/problem set. After completing the CC and watching the 'Post Curriculum Study Strategies' video, I decided to take PrepTest 36 today to see if I was anywhere near my goals even though I know drilling is recommended.

Surprisingly, even with this being my first practice test after CC and my second practice test ever, I scored 156 timed and 158 BR. The 156 is an improvement of 12 points from my diagnostic and less than 10 points my overall goal of 165 for the actual test.

If I understand correctly from past forum questions, my next step is to religiously drill. My percentage breakdown on PrepTest 36 was:

-58% LR

-88% RC

-88% LR

-30% LG (big sad)

I did CC in order so my LG exposure has been very limited to this point and I understand it is my biggest curable weakness. I’m wondering if any sages/members of the community have ideas on which types of games and what sort of LG drilling I should do at this point to bring my LG up to the 60% range in a month.

Another question I have is that I had originally been intending to take the April LSAT as a practice run then sign up for the summer circuit of June/July/August as my serious takes. But now, my goal of 165 seems attainable if I study rigorously for the next month. Is that actually the case or is the transition into the 160s a lot more difficult than I think?

And a final question, if I’m serious about the April take, should I start doing more recent practice tests? My original plan was to do 36-42 before the April test but should I do something like 78-84 instead to reflect the increased difficulty of recent LSATs? Also, I’m just guessing 6 tests is enough but I’m also not sure about that and would love any recommendations on how exactly I should prep for this final month.

I hope this isn’t too long of a post, thank you from a recent CC graduate who is very overwhelmed by the PT world.

Hello, had a few questions for those who have taken the digital LSAT.

On test day, what writing instruments are allowed in and how many?

What is size and amount of scrap paper given to you?

For the tablet, are you given a digital pen or are you noting answers with your finger? Also, are you given formatting/highlighting choices (similar to how 7Sage formats its digital tests)?

Thank you very much!

Hello! I am struggling to see how and where each lesson applies to what section of the actual test. Is there anywhere for me to find that info? I think it will be more helpful for my learning if I am understanding the end goal.

I intend to using 7Sage for LG and another resource for RC and LR. However, I'm having trouble trying to create this personalized curriculum, as I'm not sure which lessons are geared towards Logic Games (other than "Intro to Logic" and "Advanced Logic". Any help is much appreciated!

Hi im looking for a full time study partner until the March LSAT. Im thinking BR a couple questions per day and maybe a full section or two on weekends :)

If possible comment or message me. 165-170 goal pls :)

I'm at a point where I'm less than 25% of the way through the curriculum and am flopping around, wondering if I should continue to pursue taking PTs at the point I'm at. I've only been studying for about 3 weeks--have done my diagnostic and 1 additional (this weekend), and its clear that I remain at a point where I am guessing a lot and the scores clearly indicate that. It is clear to me that I need to strengthen my muscle memory with the rules of LR and LG because I was overall shooting into the breeze during the last PT. I recognize that I've got a long road ahead, but I'm concerned that if I'm not efficient in my approach, then I I will waste valuable time and testing material. I'm in need of some direction, please help.
