Hey all, hope everyone’s doing great. Would appreciate some input here. Back in February 2018 I took my first diagnostic at this LSAT course I was taking, and I scored a 140. The instructor told us not to guess on this first PT so we could get a solid idea of our weaknesses or something like that. Anyways, fast forward to today and I’m scoring 157 consistently. I’ve become curious about what my diagnostic score would have been had I guessed. I guess I want to know this in order to accurately assess how much I’ve improved thus far. (Feeling really discouraged about still not being to break the 160’s after studying for this test for legit forever lol)

Would appreciate if anyone could give an educated guess about what I would have likely scored had I guessed!

I know this is a weird question lol, and probably a dumb thing to ask, but I’d appreciate any input. Thanks!

I'm gonna be as candid and honest as possible for time purposes as well as for authenticity. I am and have been really struggling with the LSAT. I know that's not special but the amount of time I have been struggling with it is becoming debilitating. I started my journey last June.

While there were a few months that I stopped studying for necessary reasons, for at least a very solid 6 months let say, I have been grinding it out. I'm a very committed person who prides himself on maintaining a positive attitude--someone who emphasizes continued effort over attachment to outcomes.

I am here now, less than a month out from writing my second LSAT and am finding myself continually having negative and defeated thoughts. It's not only distracting from the work of studying, it's becoming paralyzing. My story is not unique in regards to having a goal set and wanting to bridge the gap between now and when I accomplish it. What does feel isolating is not maybe being cut out for this.

Not like any one person can decide for another that, "yes, you're right, you're not cut out for this", but in these dark times when there's little to no progress after a lot of focused effort, your curiosity over whether you are capable of achieving a set goal and it's effects on your life's plans really takes over.

I am writing this for a couple reasons. I want others who have or are maybe experiencing something similar to know they are not alone. Second, I want people to know that moving forwards while simultaneously acknowledging self doubt is important and maybe helpful. I'm not giving up, I'll continue to put sincere efforts into this goal, and I'm committed to writing this exam in a few weeks.

Hi folks:

Continuing our weekly series of group review sessions in will be hosting a review of pt 74 this Sunday at 10:00 am eastern.

We will cover all sections of this test. To get the most out of this session please complete pt 74 beforehand and review your answers but don't necessarily check your answers. If you are having issue with a particular question we can review as a group.

In regards to PT31 Game 2 question 8, if the rule states /A and/B —-> C, then the contrapositive would be /C —-> A or B. My question is, can both A and B be in (I.e. at least one is in) or is it just either A or B, not both. Thank you!

I just started 7sage so I'm still getting familiar with the website. I've seen several comments that people are doing time sections and I think I would rather do that as well in addition to doing weekly practice test. But how are you guys doing the time sections does 7sage provide this or is this something I have to do on my own?

After 5 weeks of 159~162, I finally scored 167 on PT59!!!! Aaaaaahhhhhhaahahahahahahahh

This is so exciting!!! I was starting to doubt myself because scoring 161 consistently for over a month did damage my self-esteemmmmmm......

Ahhhhhhahaaahahahahahahah

Will have to take another PT to confirm whatever happened was not just an outlier... but I’m happy for now!!

Is the best way to increase BR score to redo CC?

My average BR score is 170, but want to reach at least 175 for BR.

Hi, does anyone know the test dates for Asia in the latter half of this year? Or is it undetermined for now?

Could someone please post the podcast where several high scorers talk about they're daily habits in the few weeks leading up to the test? I can't find it easily by searching, and last time I listened to it when it was too late. I'd love to hear it again. thanks! #help

This question may have been posted previously in regards to science, but as somebody who studied liberal arts I find the economics and science questions in logical reasoning and reading comp way more challenging because I have to take extra time just to understand the content otherwise I end up not understanding entirely which leads me to the wrong answer. I read a bit of science and economics on my own but I was wondering if anybody has any tips for this? Publications to read etc?

Hi,

I am having trouble regarding timed pt and anxiety issue.

So when I do full timed-pt, my score is 160-167 but in BR, I constantly hit 173+.

This huge difference sucks since everytime I saw questions without timing going, it is not that difficult (I miss easy questions very often under timed)

I feel stucked and anxious whenever I am doing timed pt and that happens just before I took my first real LSAT and it continues.

Currently, I am doing one timed pt for one week.

I do not want to push myself so harsh to alleviate burnout status.

What should I do?

Hello all, I would like to be able to participate in some live Webinars, but being that I am relatively new to this gig, have no idea how to find out about them before they happen. So, can someone please let me know where to go to see a list of what's coming up? Thank you so much!!

The provided link has maybe not all, but many of the answers to concerns that I've been stressing over. Hopefully this helps ease some minds !! Sure helped mine (As much can really be done)

I know this has been discussed a lot over the years, but what are the latest thoughts on the best watch to use that is allowed? I know I can set my regular analog wristwatch to 12, but even the small anxiety of doing that after each section seems like too much. I know people like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JVP0LE/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but I don't love having to watch the bezel since I'm not used to it. Does anyone know if the 180 watch or these, which are basically the same thing:

have been banned? I see conflicting reports online, and I'm not even sure if we can trust a phone call to LSAC because when I called them to ask if we could bring 2 highlighters, they said no and I walked right into the test with two highlighters. If it's still allowed, I think it might be the best one for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is it just me but I cant seem to review the answers after I've done the practice questions...

I used to be able to see them but suddenly I can't see it. When I clicked Answers, it would just be a blank white page.

Hi guys! I've posted on here before about improving my PT score to my BR score and here I am again lol. I'm only on my second PT after the CC but I have taken the LSAT before. On the last two PT's my timed scores and BR scores are as follows:

PT Feb 97:

Timed: 161

BR:170

PT36:

Timed: 155

BR:172

I will make note that PT36 was the first time I took the digital LSAT and I was so clunky with it and also for RC the passages were cut off (until I realized AFTER the timed test that it worked if I used the 7Sage format). I know I struggle with timing big time during LR and RC. When I do BR I feel in control and I really feel like I'm starting to master some of the Q's and I feel more and more confident with practice.

I was wondering if I should get a tutor to help me bridge this gap? If so, where can I get a tutor?? I love seeing the 170's on my BR and I'm really starting to get a hang of it (thanks to 7Sage!) but I feel clumsy and awkward during the timed PT. Any tips are appreciated!!

Another one of these! I want to thank 7sage for their fantastic LSAT curriculum, the admissions course and 7Sage Editors who helped me produce the best piece of writing I have ever crafted. I also want to thank everyone who posted such helpful advice in the discussion posts, you have all formed such a powerful and uplifting community. 7Sage is one of the main reasons that I am headed to law school at all so I wanted to put one of these grateful posts out here. For quick reference, my diagnostic was a 150 and my LSAT journey was 158, 158, 166, 163 (lol). 3.4 and non-URM. I'd love to give back in any way I can, so please feel free to post or PM if you have any questions re LSAT, applications, UCLA, etc.

When we will these tests be released on 7Sage? Thanks!

Will I be able to print lsat test once I enroll?

I prepared LSAT from 2016, while I wasted the best time to prepare it. Now I have a job and have to work every single day, thus time for LSAT preparation is too precious and rare for me. I still get 150 - 155 after several months' review, and now I doubt whether I make a right choice, to take LSAT and to go to law school? Am I not talented in law and LSAT?

I find that my vocabulary volume is low, and I do not even have logical sense (maybe?) I do not know how to restart. Building up confidence? Preparing vocabulary? Watching course videos? Or just do preptest again? I have no idea about the test, about what should I do. My username looks so ironic now. I do not even know if it is desirable to spend time on complaining myself here instead of doing more PTs or blind reviews.

Thanks for reading my incoherent narrative. Maybe I need someone to dampen the enthusiasm of me to give up LSAT as soon as possible and the dream of becoming a JD student.

Hello,

I am a graduating senior who has majored in history / art history. I am very serious about applying to law school, as I would like to go into patent law/copyright law. I actually wanted to later work in an art institution like a museum or an auction house that needs specialists in copyright law :) But before I start dreaming too much, I will like some advice on how I should plan the next few months. My initial intention was to get a job and work in the art sector a bit more. I had several interviews, but ultimately I was rejected at the final rounds. I feel extremely bummed, because my plan isn't really falling through. And if I got a job, I was planning to apply in 2020 not in 2019. However, it seems like I won't be getting a full- time job and I have time to study during the summer. Should I focus on studying and apply in 2019?

** disclaimer: I did start studying last summer and seemed to plateaued around low 150. Then I focused back on my undergraduate courses because I didn't want my GPA to drop.

Any advice will help! Thank you so much :)

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone has taken the lsat at a hotel in Vancouver or the Pacific Link College in Burnaby? Both locations are very close to me and I wanted to see if anyone has previous experiences at those locations before I register, however, I'm kinda leaning towards the Pacific Link College because the hotel listed on the website is Hyatt Regency which is downtown and very close to a hospital.

Hi 7sagers!

Today was my bad day! I had a lot of questions wrong on the course.

I used to just make it sure that I understood why I was mistaken for wrong questions and why the correct answer choices were correct.

But I honestly think it’s less likely through this way that I will get such questions right next time I happen to revisit them.

So I wonder if you guys have any good methods to review difficult questions or important lessons on the course.

I am also curious if you ever solve the questions you got wrong on the course again and if you do, how!

Hi folks:

Inviting you to BR all of PT 62 with me on Sunday morning.

I will lead a review of all Sections of Pt 62

We start at 10:00 AM in the morning.

Who am I:

I am a fellow Sager who recently scored a 170 on the March LSAT thanks to 7sage. To pay it forward I am hosting weekly BR's every Sunday until the June exam to help my fellow sagers achieve a similar score or higher.

Is it just my computer, or is this site's background color black? It's hurting my eyes!

Hi! I am studying for July 15.

I've taken 9 PTs to date, just begun doing 2 PTs/week (will ramp up to 3 in the month before the test).

Besides PTs/BR, I drill difficult questions with Khan (to simulate digital testing) and 7sage.

I've scored as high as 175, but frustratingly, I'm more often around 168.

I generally average -4 on LR (though this can be affected by mentally weariness/clarity), LG getting to foolproof level (but with miscellaneous misses), and RC -4.

For those consistently in the 170+ range, how do I say goodbye to the 168? And establish 170 as baseline? Would you recommend more or less of something as I continue?

I want to clear 170 on test day, dreaming of NYU ED acceptance. UGPA 4.0 and currently in a MA program in the MENA region.

Any wisdom is welcomed.
