Hi everyone - I just got the Microsoft Surface Go Tablet and I've been trying to do some problem sets on it. I'm having a lot of trouble with highlighting/underlining (with my fingers and a stylus). Can someone give me some pointers as to how to do this? Or point me to a tutorial? I've been searching online but haven't come across actual "how to take test on tablet" tutorials that details the highlighting. I know this sounds silly but I want to get this down so it's not another thing to worry about when taking the test. Thanks!

Hi, my scores have been fluctuating for the past three months. It would go as high as 170 and low as 158. This month it went from 158 to 167. For example, like today I got a 160 on lsat 85 but I got a 167 on lsat 38, I got a 164 on lsat 84 but a 158 on LSAT 68.
My RC is the only thing that is consistent (75% correct) but my LR would go from being 95% right to 65% and vice versa but for LG. Has anyone experienced this and how can I be more consistent? Most common answers are 1) lack of focus 2) you got easy sections 3) don't take older tests. What do you think?
Hey Sagers. So I am a week away from test day and I've been performing consistently well on LR and LG (consistently getting less than -5 on these sections). The one thing that is still KILLING me and when I say killing me, I mean i'm averaging roughly -7 to -10 on this section is RC. I don't expect to see this go down exceptionally within a weeks time but I was wondering if anyone had any RC advice/tips that helped them especially? I would like to go intot this exam as confident as possible, so even seeing the slightest bit of progress would definitely be a boost. Thanks all in advance and best of luck to everyone!!
Hey everyone,
I hope all of your studies are going well, this is a great program. I've been studying for about seven months now and i'm taking my first official LSAT in February! I did the entire CC and have taken about five practice tests. I'm taking one a week until about two weeks out (Feb 22). My BIGGEST issue is time pressure. It's the bane of my existence. I answer really tough question relatively quick during timed drilling but when I sit down to take a full timed PT, I sometimes get so uptight that I have to reread passages several times and my accuracy suffers as well. I was just wondering if anyone else had this experience and how they overcame it? My current scheduled is practice test every Monday and then four to five ours daily going over BR and drilling. Mabye i'm suffering from burnout?
Thank you for any feedback..

Still a long way to go until March but super happy with BR score. Was stuck in low 170s for a bit and now its creeping up :) Press on sagers!
Hi all — if I haven’t taken any timed practice tests and I’m taking the October LSAT in less than 2 weeks — Which test should I start with? I am thinking June 2019 and then working backwards?
Thanks
Does anyone else have the issue with the prep tests/problem sets where the page won't load properly?
It does not have the arrows to navigate between questions, and does not have the highlighter icons, etc. The page still functions (my time is counting down, I can fill in answers), but obviously this is far from preferable
Hey, sagers. For those of you over this hump, I'm seeking advice as I approach my retake on Oct. 28. The Sept. test, 88, which just dropped, is basically the only fresh material for me at this point, so I'm glad I'll have the chance to take it this Sunday. But, I've heard it's actually a good idea to refrain from scoring and reviewing the final PT before the real deal because if I do well (yay!) I'll be confident, but if I suck (boo!) I'll be terrified. I retook 87 today, which I haven't spent much time with since June and did OK, so the alternative plan would be to focus on BRing the heck out of that one and spending the rest of the week doing single sections, reviewing my notes and chilling out to get in the right mindset. Please advise if you can. I love 7Sage so much, but I can't wait for this journey to end!
Hello,
I just got a very short email from LSAC saying that "due to circumstances beyond our control" my test center location has been changed for the October LSAT. The new test center is an hour further away and I registered several months ago (way before the deadline to register). I really don't want the stress and confusion of having to drive an extra hour the morning before the LSAT. Does anyone know why this happened and if it is worth calling them to see if I can change back?
I know so many people on here are scoring 160+, but I just took my first post-CC PT and I feel great. Diagnostic was a 145, scored a 152 on my first test and scored 167 on my BR of that PT. Lots of time until the February test to continue improving, but just feeling excited to finally see some progress and to not have to guess where I'm at based on problem sets!
Here in about 2 weeks, my Starter status will expire and switch to Alum (I think). I'm currently in my admissions cycle and will become a bit more scarce here. I know 7Sage really helped me on this journey, and I don't know that I could have done as well without the program or this supportive community. (3(/p)
To everyone still at it: keep going. There is another side. I have seen it! It's also very stressful, but it's pretty awesome. :)
For those who have been curious, so far, I have 2 acceptances and 4 apps out. One acceptance came with a scholarship, and the other came with a full-ride offer. I hope to come back and update you guys on how it all panned out in the end. Hopefully by February, I'll know for sure.
Keep fighting the good fight, guys! It's worth it.
Hey folks - how do you shatter your thinking/intuition that brought you to the wrong answer choice?
Hoping I'll be able to use it as a PT before I take in October!
I like to BR my answers and review the wrong ones all in the same studying session so I don't lose my train of thought, however im only just beginning to study so I do have a fair amount of wrong answers.
Im wondering if there's a way that you can just go through individual sections, BR them and then review the right answers without having to do the entire test?
Thanks!
I am applying to start law school in fall 2020. I both graduated college and started my job in August 2019. Will I be considered “1 year out of college”/1 year of work experience when applying to law schools, since it will be around that much time until I start law school? Or will I basically be viewed as kjd?
Thank you
Hey guys!
I did all the way up to Sufficient Assumptions and beginning to work on Pseudo SA. I wanted to work on Logic Games as it is a weak section for me and this is not my first course. I wanted to finish LG so I can start PT'ing properly. I see 3 options.
143 to 173
Thank you JY, I couldn't have done it without 7Sage. And a big thank you to Jonathan Wang, Mike Kim, Daniel Sieradzki, Josh Aldy, Patrick Tyrell, Graeme, Alex, the people in my study group, and many others.
It's been a long journey for me starting from last december when I decided to study for the LSAT. Background on me (hopefully not coming off as whiny), I'm a first-gen post-grad and and am the only person in my family that has ever even attempted to go to law school. Currently, I've been struggling to get a job (to work the year before school) while also trying to finish my LSAT asap before I start working. So I've been on the post-grad-job search-life and the study-for-the-LSAT life for about 5 months and it's been rough. I've tried to educate myself as much as possible in this process on my own and I know how important the LSAT is to get into the schools I want/for scholarships. Due to mental health issues and working all through undergrad, I have a lower GPA than what I feel is comfortable for applying to schools (but also have a double major and a minor so? but that's besides the point....) so I need to be a splitter.
I worked through senior year to get ready for the June test right after graduation. I took it and completely bombed.
Then I got 7Sage in July and it's been a Godsend but I've only just finished the curriculum and haven't had ample time to practice. But I still registered for the Oct LSAT thinking I would be ready. I stopped taking preptests bc I didn't want to waste them and I wanted to make sure I fully let go of the old habits I had before 7Sage. But now that it's like a week before the LSAT, I am seriously considering withdrawing bc my first preptest after finishing the curriculum isn't even close to what I want.
I was thinking to still take the test bc it took so much for me to purchase it that it hurts to let it go but I know I can do better than what I would do if I take it. I definitely know that if I take it, I would be going for a third LSAT anyway so shouldn't I just withdraw? A great scholarship to my dream law school is worth much more than $200 right? Or would a third LSAT not hurt?
Is the best way to use a tutor to help you Blind Review? Or to review questions after youve already done the Blind Review and that you've gotten wrong/still dont know why its wrong or right.
Anyone whos gotten a tutor, please feel free to share your experiences or what they have done to help you, or if a tutor really helps you at all.
I was just listening to the Thinking LSAT podcast and LSAT unplugged youtube channel. I 100% understand that it is much better to expand access in order to level the playing field for those that really need it. However, with the increasing amount of people that are trying to game the system, what do you personally think is going to happen?
Thinking LSAT thinks the LSAC will change the test and make it somewhat harder, because those that have extra time tend to score much much higher than those without it, and that number of people seems to be going up? If this is true, will this happen soon, like over the next year or two? After all, it is somewhat surprising to see the number of people with accommodations go up 400% in 4 ish years.
Hi! So I finally took the LSAT writing portion and all went well, except now under status it says "exam initiated." This strikes me as really odd...shouldn't it say "exam submitted" or "exam completed" while I await review from LSAC. I'm very concerned that it was in fact not submitted. Anyone else run into this?
Do you take it at home? Im not sure I am understanding when and how it is administered.
Hi All, I just took Oct LSAT in Asia (can't discuss, zip my mouth...), nothing disastrous happened although I was slightly nervous. Usually I score between 167-170. I want to apply to Cornell. If I get 165-167, which is below the median I'll should retake LSAT in January. In that case, should I still submit application in November when the score is released or do I risk being rejected out of hand? Advice is much appreciated!

Hi! Does anyone know how to customize the study schedule to NOT include areas we have studied already?
