I am getting ready to propose to my girlfriend within the next few months,because she would like to get married BEFORE she graduates dental school and I have a really big question! Should I ask for her father's blessing / how should I notify him of my plans? My mother comes from old money but she she will just tell me whatever I want to hear, my girlfriend is against asking for permission , and my friends are yes men. I wasn't sure of our future because I didn't know where I was going to law school but my score will allow me to go just about anywhere so now is the time. Any way, what should I do?

Quick Question: My 7sage access expires in about a week. Right now I am registered for the most basic plan and have been thinking of upgrading to LSAT premium. If I upgrade, does that mean I get to use it for just an extra month or more?

I've been prepping on and off again over the past few months in preparation for the July test. It's only recently that I've gotten consistent with studying and have been increasing my hours.

I'm sure some others have also felt this, the disparity between the days that I enjoy lsat prepping and the days that I dread it have exhausted me. To be frank, I feel like I'm never going to get through the core curriculum, even with the % completion increasing every day.

Do any of you have tips for staying motivated or building discipline?

The only thing that has kept me from giving up is knowing what my goals are. Sometimes I'll say them out loud to myself or write them out on paper over and over again. Even if you don't believe in the power of manifestation (I'm not sure I do either) there's a lot of power in remembering what you want out of life.

I would love to know how you guys keep your heads up when the lsats are trying to drag you under.

Best of luck. x

Does withdrawing LSAT registration count as a one-time test taking?

So I'm re-taking my test in march of 202 but I don't know what to study anymore since the October LSAT didn't disclose what sections we did poorly on. I studied religiously up till the night of the LSAT and was consistently scoring between 162- 171. If anyone wants to form a study group or know how to study for this problem.

Hey everyone,

Whether you are going into September LSAT or have heard about how difficult the newer tests are I want to actually say please do not worry. I know I did for a while but I want to share my experience with you and I hope that dispels a lot of the fears for the upcoming tests.

Throughout my preparation for LSAT I know I kept worrying that I hadn't ventured into taking the newer tests and as test day kept approaching my fears would increase that maybe I was missing out on something that the newer tests wold test me on and I would therefore end up scoring lower. My tutor was firm in making sure that I use all my old prep materials first and I got into the score range that I wanted to be in before giving me any of the newest test.

A month ago, my tutor had me take a test without knowing what PT it came out of. It's essentially a blind test and I did not feel the difference. It turned out it was a higher 70 series test and I ended up scoring in the same range that I usually do. Since then I have done a blind test on lower 70's and higher 70 PT series and I always end up scoring in my score range. This is true despite some PT's having weird games and I actually did not do well on some of those weird games. Despite that, I still managed to score in my average range.

I agree that the newer tests are different from 1-40 PT series. I also see that we now have comparative passages in RC and weird games in LG. But comparing the logic and even the language from 50-70 series I didn't see a difference. At least the difference wasn't enough to take me out of my average score range.

I really hope this helps people who fear the newer tests. If the tests were significantly different or harder then when I did the higher 70 series without knowing what PT number it was I should have still scored lower. But that did not happen. Obviously what I did is not a robust study and it did not involve a lot of participants. But its enough for me to know to not worry and my hope is that it helps other people not worry that the test on this coming Saturday will be significantly harder than what we have faced.

True some RC's or LG's are tougher but the curve compensates for that. When you do start scoring in your range that you want, I would say you are ready to take the LSAT real time whether you have taken many 70 series or not. So please don't freak out about the series in your prep or as you go into the test if you have not done a lot of newer test. Just do what you have been doing to score high and you will do just fine.

Good luck :).

I received a cold diagnostic score a week ago scoring a 144. Then I have done roughly 20 hours of this online course for a week and took a practice test and scored a 152, I did not count any questions I guessed on for this score, however I did not take logic games since I have not studied it so I held it constant at 9 correct answers since that is what I got on my prior practice test. Any advice to get my practice score up to 160-162? I am preparing for the February 2020 LSAT and my goal is a 160-165. Is this obtainable even though I can only study for 20 hours a week due to work and school?

Hey 7sage,

I'm attempting to extend my course access (I've done it in the past as well, if that matters) and am only being given the option to extend it monthly?

Thanks!

There's a little box in the analytics that has a timing, but it always says 0m for me.

Hi,

I posted a couple weeks ago about thanking 7sage and I'd like to do it one more time now that I am officially done with my cycle.

I've been accepted to Penn Law, and I'm thrilled to be heading off to law school (finally!)

Can anyone give me advice on what to do prepare for law school? What books should I be reading or how can I start preparing for law school exams or what to study in terms of learning the black letter law. I know that there is a wealth of knowledge and advice for 0L prep so I'd really appreciate it if anyone could weigh in on this.

Thanks again so much!

Hey Guys,

I am a first time test taker and I honestly don't know where to start. I don't know what study materials to use and I truly need help building a study schedule. Can someone possibly give me tips that can help me out?

Thanks so much

I took the LSAT for the first time in October 2019, and I studied everyday for 7 hours a day from May 2019 until the October test. I got a 152 which was well below my goal score, of a 165, and I signed up for a retake in January 2020. However, I'm really struggling to find motivation to study because the LSAT takes a large toll on everyone lol. Also, I'm at the point that I felt I did everything I could've done to study for the October test and I'm not sure how much better I'm really going to do on this one, especially because I wasn't able to study for a month after the October exam. Any words of encouragement and tips?

Hello all,

SO I am planning on taking the January 2020 LSAT. I have been studying since August and it has been such a wild ride of studying. IN November, I started doing untimed practice tests, and my scores were averaging 165+. I wanted to get a feel for the questions, games, etc. HOWEVER, a month out from the Jan LSAT, I started taking timed PTs, aka today, and my score lowered to a 149. I have never been good with standardized testing, but I do know each question type etc. What I am freaking out over is, will a month be enough time to get situated with timed PT's? I understand the material and I am not sure what to do about my current problem. I am also freaking out ahhaha. Also, I am BRing and everything. I feel like if I do not close the gap a week out before the Jan LSAT, I might postpone.

PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE PLZ PLZ COMMENT.

EDIT:

I also want to add that I took another PT and scored a 151. Also, LG games I have down, but the speed is what is killing me :)

I have been studying 3-4 hours a day from Monday-Saturday starting July. Around 1-2 for LR in the morning and 1-2 for LG in the afternoon. RC is my strongest section so i have only been focusing on LR and LG. I was just wondering if this is adequate enough to be studying for up to the April Test. I sometimes feel mentally fatigued and get many questions wrong while studying, so i was just wondering if should incorporate another extra rest day on Sunday and just study Monday to Friday. Im currently one year out of undergrad and I am a musician. So am pretty much a full time LSAT student and a musician on Saturdays and Sundays. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thank you In advance.

It’s almost necessary at this point. My December exam score was a 145, and I could not be more devastated. I didn’t have much practice before then, but still. I’m taking the January exam and my goal is to try to go up 10 points.

Is it possible? Should I give up?

How many hours should I study a day?

For those of you who have taken the LSAT before, how noisy are the rooms that you take it in? Is there a lot of people making noises or is it pretty quiet? I just can't concentrate when there's a lot of noises happening at once so I wanna know if I should factor that in to my prep test.

Thank you in advance!

Having a huge issue and I don't know how to fix. My rc and lr drop about 5 on each using tablet and I have no idea why. Everytime. Lrs on paper I get 18-19; rc 17-20 tablet tests I get 14 max help

I'm devastated now. I scored a low 170s in the October test, and I screwed up the November test and got 5 points lower. I am aiming for T14s with a decent GPA and have already sent out my applications at the beginning of December. Will that drop significantly affect my chance? Should I provide an addendum to explain? Any suggestions would be helpful pleeeeeease!

Hey everyone

So idk about everyone but I received an email from lsac a few days ago saying that they take into account only one of our writing sections?? or have I understood wrong? I'm generally confused b/c I'm gonna do my lsat way before I apply to law school, should I do the writing every time I do the lsat or do it the one time I get the highest mark and before I send that score for application?

Sorry if it sounds stupid lol

Thanks!!!

Hi 7sage! I was wondering if anyone knows when LSAC will be releasing the new LSAT testing dates? When I head on over to the LSAC website I only see January - April 2020 test dates and that is all. I might be missing some info and knowledge on how it all works. I hope to take the LSAT in July if it is offered. Thanks !

I was BR-ing this and I have some questions, but I'm not sure of we are allowed yet.

Anyone wants to swap and we read each other. I want some feedback. :)

What it says in the title. Specifically I want to work as a prosecutor, and I'm wondering if it is worth it to shell out the extra cash to go to a T14 or if it would make more sense to go to a less prestigious school and pay less.

Just wanted to hear some opinions on the matter!

I’m waiting in line to see Star Wars. I’m doing some LR. Is my divided focus conducive to... undoing some of my learning?

The same question could be asked of waiting rooms in a doctor’s office
