I got the score I was hoping for today, and I want to say thank you to 7sage! But I also want to leave some videos for posterity that motivated me during my studies. I came across this story when doing some googling about an absence of evidence flaw question regarding Fermat's last theorem.

Some context:

Andrew Wiles describing proving Fermat's last theorem:

Hi Everyone

I need some advice. Last year I had decided that I wanted to take the LSAT and go to law school. So I had taken the January 2024 and February 2024 LSAT and got 145s on each which is not the best score. From November to March, both of my grandparents were in and out of Hospital. They both passed away, one before my exams and one after. I affect me a lot because I was very close to them. I should have never taken the LSAT then because I mentally was not prepared. I spent most of my time in the ICU and although I did try to study, my mind was somewhere else completely. I know that the two LSAT's I took were not a representation of who I am as a test taker and my ability to go to law school, but do law schools know that or care?

I have been studying for the November LSAT. My tutor suggested taking the November LSAT and if I do poorly then I would study for the January one. I don't know what to do. I know it looks bad to take the LSAT many times and 4 is a lot. Would law schools be understanding to me potentially taking the LSAT 4 times due to my circumstances? Should I take the November LSAT?

Thank you in advance!

hi everyone! i just took my diagnostic and did a BR. i signed up for 7sage. does anyone have any advice for a beginner lsat taker? Also does anyone have advice on when to drill while completing the curriculum? Thank you!

Hello, I plan on taking the exam in February and then another one in June. However, I do not feel prepared at all unless something starts to click for me until February. Would it be better just to forego the February test feeling unsure/ under prepared and just take the June lsat where I will feel better prepared?

I've been studying for quite a while (since May but seriously since August ) and though in the beginning I made great stride with practice test score improvement, I am now a an impasse with progression. Ive read the LR bible, Loophole and LSAT trainer and i feel like a dunce. I cannot get to 160, does anyone have advice on getting past the wall of no improvement?

I feel so discouraged and upset. I've taken 4 preptests lately and keep getting my base actual score of 157. No matter how much I study, practice, and complete wrong answer journals, I keep getting 157. I can get my score to around 163 after blind review, but I'm just so confused and upset that I can't get any higher in my normal attempts. I know 157 isn't the worst score but I was really hoping to do a little better than that. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, personal experiences, or literally anything that could help me in this context? I am so lost as to what I can do to improve. Any advice, help, or words would be so greatly appreciated. :(

Hello - Does anyone know when the site will be done running maintenance? I got the notifications earlier in the week/last night that it would be starting at midnight on 10/18 and take a couple of hours, but it's now almost noon on the 19th and I'm still unable to access analytics/don't want to take drills/pretests as the data most likely won't be saved.

I know the two hours was just an estimate, but is anyone else still experiencing this/know if they're still doing maintenance on the site, or is this something only I am experiencing? Weekends are really my only time to do the bulk of my studying, so fingers crossed it won't take all day today.

Thanks! :)

What are you guys doing to distract yourselves from thinking about it?

I'm going crazy over here

Hello everyone! I've recently started using 7sage to prepare for the February LSAT, and I think it’s an excellent program—I'm really enjoying the Foundations videos. However, I’m a bit unsure about a few things. Should I be practicing problems independently while I watch the videos? Also, what do you all do while watching? I’ve just been taking notes, but I’m not sure if that’s sufficient. Some friends using other programs have already started practicing problems right away, and I’m wondering if I should take that initiative too or wait until they come up in my syllabus. Any answers/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: The server updates went very smoothly and we are back online! Total downtime was about 11 minutes. Thank you for bearing with us while we did the upgrade.

7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we update the servers.

Pacific Time: 9pm Friday, Oct 18

Eastern Time: Midnight Friday, Oct 18

We expect that the site will be available again in two hours, hopefully less.

Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!

I was doing well on my prep tests and saw a lot of improvement in my score until last week when I started getting questions wrong that I usually don't even think twice about. I feel like I am back at my starting point. Has this happened to anyone? And what is your advice for starting to improve again?

Is anyone on 7sage applying to Ontario law schools? Applications are due November 1st, so I am creating this discussion post for fellow Canadian students to ask questions about the application process and for inquiries about navigating the different steps in OLSAS.

Hey guys. I've been doing prep for the last 2-3 months (7sage & Other), looking at taking my first practice test tomorrow since my June LSAT (145, I know it's bad please don't scold me, I know I shouldn't have wasted the attempt).

I am hoping to score a 160 (hopefully) on the November LSAT with 3 weeks left and "crunch" time approaching what would the best way be for me to dedicate the rest of my time. Would it be to take just practice tests or would it be beneficial to see how my PT goes tomorrow and look at my weakness and tackle them there?

I'm just stressed as taking a gap year is not possible for me (I already have work experience too, so no hindering there). I'm hoping to finish my applications and submit as soon as I get my LSAT score. I'm looking for any and all advice, please I'm trying to be optimistic I just need someone sane to tell me if this is unrealistic?

I had above a 3.5 GPA during undergrad, but took three courses at a technical school before attending my four year university. The courses were challenging and my gpa was a 2.6. I’m wondering if I should write an addendum or leave it be so I don’t draw more attention to it? Please let me know what you would do!

I find that going through the curriculum so far I find that I end up spending way longer.

For example, I just completed my Wrong answer journal with my diagnostic being the June 2007 LSAT. I find that I spent way more than two hours over the course of two days to complete it. I counted my hours and I spent seven hours going though it. On my Blind review for the same test it took me about 7-8 hours to go through it. I originally started doing the lessons, arguments, but I decided to restart my progress to do a diagnostic first. I write notes for my lessons and do the quizzes, but I find that it takes me four hours to do a lesson that is estimated to take 2 hours in total. Here is how I have it spread out to work on it currently. My schedule that I plan to follow is this to do the argument lessons,

Schedule:

T- 1.3 hr (lessons)(rounded to 2-3hrs because I write notes and stuff)

W- 1.6 hr (lessons)(rounded to 2-3hrs because I write notes and stuff)

Th- Review notes on topic + Make anki deck on important terms

Fri-1.8 hr( lessons and notes)

St- Review Notes + Anki Deck

Sn- Rest day

M- Start next session

Should I just go through the videos then write notes when I am finished. I am uncertain how they wanted people to reach the estimated times.

Hey! I took the August LSAT after consistently scoring around 160-164. I got a 158 on the real deal. Since then, because I'm a full time student, I have not had much time to study or improve. I've since taken two more PTs and gotten a 161 and 162. I do not struggle with a specific question type, but typically the highest level of difficulty (though even that is pretty inconsistent). I am retaking in November and would like to feel a little more secure when it comes to hitting my goal of somewhere in the 160s on the real thing. I simply do not know how to improve, as I know different approaches work for different people. As of right now, my plan is to keep drilling and just go over every single wrong answer to try and weed out any bad habits I might not realize I have. Feeling not so great to be honest lol

How can we enter a proctored test on 7sage? Are these reoccurring?

I remember during the drills in the syllabus there was a slider for expected accuracy/inaccuracy, can you do that when making drills under the Practice tab? For example I want to do harder drills so I would want to put it to like a higher expected wrong answer percentage.

Hello 7Sage, I am currently learning from your grammar lessons and I wanted to know when we use this knowledge on the test, are we constantly trying to parse out the subject, verb, and object? Or is this information that we can draw upon when sentences get tough and are not sure what the sentence even means? Or use it for something else? Granted, I have not learned every module of the grammar lesson but I would like to know to prepare.

Hi All—Should I study and review the experimental sections in addition to the scored sections? Or is it unnecessary and too time-consuming? While taking a pretest with an experimental section might help boost stamina, I'm not sure how wise it is to study and review them. Most of you would likely say I should study and review them. But why exactly? Could you please share insights on the importance of reviewing experimental sections? Thank you.

I finished PT 38 and its only showing how many i got wrong, but not the actual scaled score which is confusing. The circles where the score should show is completely empty.

So I'm taking the LSAT in about a month now, so I really want to buckle down and squeeze the last few extra points I can out of it. The only problem is that I work full time and find it difficult to come home and take a full length test, so I limit the amount of test I take to one a day on Saturday and Sunday. I just feel that, after a long day of work, I wouldn't be able to preform like I should, and wind up getting frustrated. Should I focus most of my weeknights into drills, or is there a different strategy I should be looking at?

I was struggling with timed tests because I felt like my anxiety about my performance made me forget everything I learned beforehand. I started taking a few breaths during the beginning of my exam and pretending it was untimed practice, and it worked! I went from 165 last week to 173 today!!!!

Is there a way to just take timed sections of previous LSAT, instead of the whole exam? Please helppp
