I started studying for the April 25th LSAT in mid-February. My diagnostic in Feb was 149 and after a month of studying I have been scoring 157 consistently on my PT's. My goal is to score 165 in April. My biggest issue right now is timing. I am still only completing 3/4 games and passages on LG and RC. My accuracy is pretty good though. Does anyone have advice on how to improve timing? Thanks.

Also, I've used the LSAT trainer and I'm practising using the Powerscore workbooks right now.

I just stumbled on the news.

"Due to the COVID-19 emergency, LSAC has made the difficult decision to cancel the March LSAT. Candidates will be rescheduled for the next LSAT and be offered additional scheduling options should interactions continue to be limited. "

I have a pretty severe case of ADHD and I will be taking the LSAT this coming June (as long as COVID-19 doesn't destroy the world!) My accommodations consist of double time and 10 minute breaks after sections 1,2,4. I just took my first practice test and I most definitely need the accommodations or else I would only finish ~10 questions per section BUT with my accommodations the exam is over 5 hours long and extremely mentally draining. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can build my endurance so I can do my best. I'm thinking of doing push-ups during my breaks because supposedly that helps?

A summary of the email we received from LSAC:

*March LSAT administrations canceled in: South Korea, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, and China

*March North America administrations proceeding as usual, but might cancel if situation deteriorates.

*Any test taker currently registered for the March 2020 LSAT may switch to the April 2020, June 2020, or July 2020 test by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on Friday, March 20, at no additional charge.

*March test takers will be allowed to wear nose and mouth masks and to bring hand sanitizer.

Hi, I just wanted to post about the problem I am facing with the site and the app, which keep showing me a blank screen with a message "the requested URL was not found on this server." Please help. It keeps happening especially when I go to my study schedule.

Does anyone have any insight on the upcoming lsat test? LSAC says it will take place as planned but with schools shutting down Im concerned that this could impact testing.. what do you guys think?

Lets just say you finish the LSAT and you know you are going to take it again

Should you study in between the time you take it and the time you get your score? Like an hour a day? Should you use this time to do retakes just to keep mind fresh and not "forget" any material? Or should you just take a total break and not do anything until you get your score? What has worked for yall?

Is anyone preparing differently for March? Originally I was gunna crank out some more PTs like every other day, but i feel like if its gunna get delayed to April maybe I should take it slower and incorporate some retakes. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I have lately been feeling really defeated and frustrated with this exam and the whole journey to law school. This is my second time applying to law school (Candian law schools). I wrote the LSAT last January and got a really low score. I started studying again mid July. I have started to hit 155 untimed. My aim is 160- 165. Even a 160 would do at this point. I have realized that you need to be patient with this exam. I have been wrong to expect immediate results. That has been my biggest mistakes. This time I am taking as much time as I need to study the concepts, and learn them well. I am also focusing on my weaknesses. I feel that will really help with increasing my score. My LG score ranges 18-22, but I struggle with timings. I am scoring 13-17 on the LR. In that area I keep getting the same type of questions wrong (which is good because then I just can practice on my weaknesses).

My question is,

Am I being realistic with thinking that I can go from 155 untimed to 160-165 timed by January. I do not want to make the same mistake and assume that I will be ready by a certain time. The reason why January is an option because majority of the schools I applied to accept that as the last score. Only 2-3 schools accept the February score, which is also an option). But that would be super late in the cycle, but would get me a good score.

Any advice would be appreciated. Really losing hope at this point :(

Thanks.

For those that have taken nearly all or just quite a lot of LSATS, which were ones that were particularly difficult to you? maybe a random low score in the midst of a bunch of consistent high ones? I know differences in difficulty between exams should be balanced with the curve, but I expect even the test writers arent perfect. Which ones were ones that gave you all trouble/low scores?

Hello everyone!

I am nearing the end of my prep, I will be taking the LSAT for the first time in April. In order to both help fine-tune some of my own test-taking strategies as well as to give back to the 7sage community that has done so much for me, I would like to offer free tutoring to a few students. It will be first-come first-served and I won't be able to take too many individuals at this point due to my schedule. However, if you are interested, please send me a DM with information regarding what times work best for you and any particular issues you are having that you would like to address.

I have been working with @Sami for awhile now and she has been tremendously helpful for my prep. I started out studying for this test a little over 2 years ago with a 147 diagnostic. I tried the powerscore bibles and got nowhere with them. After coming to 7sage and going through the CC with a fine-tooth comb, I began to average in the mid/upper 160s. However, at this point I hit a wall. I spent months taking PTs and dutifully blind reviewing them but getting nowhere. It was at that point that I started working with Sami consistently on timing and she straightened me out. It took months of working on timing strategies, but I finally began to break 170 consistently.

At this point, I'm averaging scores in the lower 170s with a typical break down of -5/6 between the two LR sections, -3 in RC, and -0/-1 in LG. I am trying to really get my timing even better and begin to more comfortably average in the mid-upper 170s. In general, I am looking for students who are scoring in the mid/upper 160s and are trying to work on their timing strategies in order to break the dreaded 170 barrier. Im happy to help with work on any section. I look forward to working with you!

Regards,

James

Hello. I have 2 questions. How can I add a 5th random section to my PT? I want to simulate the actual lsat with 5 sections.

Also, once I already took the PT , can I delete the results so I can retake the same exam?

Thank you.

Was just wondering how long the site will be experiencing technical issues so I can get back to studying. I've found that I can still watch the video lessons, but I can't do the problem sets because they won't load due to the error.

It keeps showing "The requested URL was not found on this server."

I'm missing a lot of symbols on my account, including:

The symbol to mark questions for BR and the color them button. This has been happening for two days now. It's causing me to not be able to mark any questions for the BR

#Help

Not sure what the issue is but the preptests no longer have the option to cross out incorrect answers as I'm filtering through the options. I never had this issue before today. Is this change reflective of the actual lsat or is it a technical issue? If it's a technical issue how do I fix it?

Has anyone encountered this? My last note doesn't show. It is just a link to the section of the program. I deleted that and tried to just input words and the same thing happened.

Hello everyone!

I applied to four law schools for Fall 2020. One denied, three waitlisted.

My LSAT scores were 140, 145, 143. Two days ago I withdrew my applications for financial purpose. I'm kind of regretting it and wish I'd stuck until the end. But with my LSAT scores, I feel that I was bound to be denied anyway.

I have not been able to focus and study as much as I wish I did for the last three - life, work, etc. happened. I'd like some advice as to how to better study for the LSAT. I still work full-time (8:30a - 4:30p) and have evening an part-time job four times a week. I'd like to score in the 170s, but I'm not sure if that's any possible. Looking to re-applying in a year or two (hopefully). Any advice? How many hours a day should I be studying? How many times per week?

I'd like to get it on my fourth LSAT. Never too late, right?

Hi there,

I spent end of 2018 + most of 2019 going through Powerscore, Manhattan, and other LSAT books. I got into 7Sage toward the end of 2019 with the Ultimate subscription, and I recently finished the core curriculum with all of the practice sets. Previous to 7Sage, I probably took about 10 PTs untimed and timed.

A while back, I remember taking a diagnostic, which was around 158 timed (170 BR). My target score for the LSAT is 170 - 175. I just took the June 2007 LSAT to see how much I improved from my previous score, prior to 7Sage core-curriculum. Mainly just seeing if the BR score jumps up.

But I am pretty worried about my progression... I have been watching webinars and listening to 7Sage podcasts to hear that, many of the sages took 30 - 40 timed PTs prior to maxing out their scores.

If I use that as a benchmark, with 1 PT per week, I won't get there until September - November of 2020. That puts me around the October 2020 LSAT to aim for. But is that too late?

Right now, it looks like I spend about 20 - 25 hours per week, with timed PT on Saturday and Monday - Thursday dedicated for BR, MM, and FP. Friday is dedicated to look at archived problems that I had trouble with. I know it may be silly to focus on the total number of timed PTs, but should I change my current approach somehow to fit in more than 1 PT per week?

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I'm just starting to seriously study for the LSAT and I was just wondering if you guys had some advice on how to start? How many hours you'd recommend per day/per week? I have the powerscore bibles and I'm starting by reading them but yeah, any recommendations would be amazing!

Hey everyone,

I was just curious if there was a way to download the explanations/ videos so that I can use/watch them while out of internet range. I will be heading to Baffin island for work and will not have any access to anything remotely close to the online-digital-sphere!!

Any advice?

Hey everyone, this question has probably been answered but will I still be able to upgrade my current ultimate course to the ultimate plus course after the 29th of March? Or does that option no longer become available after the 29th? Thanks!

I’ve began studying for the September LSAT. Where do I even begin? I only have enough money for self study other than taking practice tests at my university.I’m new to this app any study tips would be great.

Does anyone know why I can hear the sound on videos in the course but I cannot see JY map out anything or see the question which makes it hard to follow along. #Help

Hi all I was hoping I'd crush PT74 with the +50% accommodations box ticked as I was recently approved for accommodations. I found some very interesting points:

For RC and LR questions that took me over 3:00, I got 3/11 correct. That's 27% of getting a question right if I'm going past the 3:00 mark; I think this shows there's a fundamental problem going on for that question that I'm just not gonna figure out, so guess and move on basically, don't waste time and energy.

RC and LR questions from 2:00-3:00 I got 10/14 right which is 71% accuracy.

RC and LR questions from 1:30 - 2:00 I got 9/12 which is 75% right.

RC and LR questions that took 1:00 - 1:30 I had 86% accuracy, getting 25/29 questions right.

Alarmingly, for questions that took less than 1:00 on LR and RC, I had 100% accuracy, getting 16/16 right.

What's going on for LR and RC is I basically knew the answer fast or not at all. More time doesn't didn't mean significantly more accuracy for me.

For LG: oddly the results were not the same at all for answering fast. As a caveat, I do consistently go -0 to -2/3 with more time, on one game in particular I got 3 wrong in a row which is not usual for me.

(1:00, I got 70% 7/10 right

1:00 - 1:30, I got 87% 7/8 right

1:30 - 2:00 1/1 questions right(/p)

2:00 75% 3/4 right

For LG I missed 5 questions total and 60% of those incorrect answers took me less than a minute to get wrong. My takeaway from this would be don't rush, with extra time focus more on POE, and I need to keep foolproofing. What's especially odd is generally if you make a fundamental mistake you end up coming across an LG question where things just don't feel right, or you can POE all the answers, indicating you made a mistake in setup or rules. That didn't happen here so I need to find out what went on.

This is a sample size of only 1 test so take this with a grain of salt. Hope you enjoyed the read
