test

I got a 157 on the July 15th test and improved to a 169 on the Sept 21st test! I studied 30/40 hours a week for those 9 weeks, mostly drilling PTs, BRing, and fool proofing logic games. My goal was a 168 and after july I never thought that I'd be able to achieve it. I spent so much time looking for success stories on these forums hoping that they'd boost my confidence, so I decided to post one of my own.

Just study hard and know that you can do it!! (Meditation and visualizations are really helpful too)

On my most recent PT (82) I got a 167, but on BR I got a 176. Is a difference this extreme normal? I typically will BR anywhere from 5-9 pts higher. If this is normal, I plan to proceed with taking the October test in 2ish weeks. This consistent difference in score is making me wonder if I should just study more and hold out until the following administration, though. Any thoughts/experiences?

Hi guys im pretty sure these kind of questions were asked many many times.

but somehow i had to let it out too.

i started the journey about a year ago but when i started i was just browsing and getting to know what lsat was

since i have a fulltime job i'd just drill here and there (didnt know 7sage back then) and started committing this july

July-Aug mainly finishing CC and drilling, Aug-Sep PTing i took about 5PTs

and i took sept test, score was lower than i expected but nothing really surprising since i bombed LG the one that im good at.

I was just whining about my score to my bf and how i felt 2months of intense studying might have been ,timewise, not enough,

in response, i heard something shocking from him saying that

'its just a standardized test the longer you studying does not mean you will get better (somepart i agree), 2-3 months of studying should get you where your maximum potential would be at (i disagree)'

as i was studying i started to learn and see the patterns, flaws and gaps i could anticipate the answers before i read AC. A clear sign that much room to improve.

well i know his opinion shouldnt matter since it's coming from someone hasnt done LSAT

(he is super smart ;p and i guess most of his lawyer friends didn't take very long to get a good lsat score so he thinks it's easy)

but its somehow very discouraging coming from someone very close to me. Also making me think i might not be meant for this path.

anyhow long story short,

my problem is this emotional rollercoaster is tackling me to focus, i registered for NOV so i have no time to waste

please help me to get out of this deep self pity hole.

and the other tips im asking is my reading is very slow

my TImed pt and BR score gap is huge sometimes by 20 points mostly because i cant finish in time.

i know reading speed boosts with time and practice

RC i can never get to the last psg but the psgs i read id get -0~-2

thanks for reading my lame ranting

i usually deal with it by myself but this time i needed someone or somewhere to talk to

pleas share any thoughts and advice!

Has anyone else had issues recently using the underline and highlighting tools during prep tests? They worked for me before but for the past week they haven’t been working for me.

Hey everybody,

Since many people have been clamoring for this I thought I'd start a new thread for the older and non-traditional future lawyers among us. Feel free to ask any questions you may have or share any stories or ideas you think would be beneficial to the non-trad community here. I'll bump this thread as needed for awhile to keep things going if people are lurking more than posting.

All that being said, don't despair old people! This is not business school so you are not getting dinged for your age around here. I know we are getting late in the app season but if anyone has questions for applying as an older candidate then bring them on and myself and other old timers will do our best to assist you!

Also feel free to talk about any other old people stuff you want (e.g.- marriage, kids, finding a reliable babysitter, etc.) and most of all have fun!

Is there a particular section in The LSAT Trainer that coincides with the Grammar Section of 7Sage?

I just received my score for the September 2019 LSAT (first time I took the exam), and got a 155. I REALLY want to get to 160, and am planning it to take it in June/July 2020 (whenever the exam takes place). I am a little disappointed with my score, as I studied quite hard and was scoring at about 160 in my PT.

I am currently a Junior in university so I have some time left still. What is the best way to increase my score at least five points, if anyone has any advice that might befit me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Its been one hell of a ride. I never thought that this would end but today it finally did. Its funny because I thought I wasn't ready and was considering delaying to study till March or June. So glad I took the opportunity to try and make it this cycle.

So I improved my LSAT score compared to the the time, I took it without studying 2 years ago (Yes you can laugh!). But it is no where near where it truly needs to be. I am the Austin area and interested in seeking out tutoring to help me get through the logic games especially. I just got 7Sage and before I was doing the Khan Academy self study.

I always look forward to the thank you posts from everyone who scored 170+ after each test cycle. This isn't that post. lol. I actually did better on this September test than I expected but I still didn't hit the coveted 170. I was disappointed for a brief moment but then I remembered where I started. I remembered what I thought was possible and I've already exceeded all of those expectations. I'm not a particularly good standardized test taker. I've had to overcome serious testing anxiety and commit to studying for this test while working full time. So for anyone disappointed that they fell short of their dream score, just remember the score really isn't everything. In my opinion, the journey is much more important. This September test was brutal, but there's a lesson to learn. Even if you think you bombed a section (shit, even if you KNOW you bombed a section) you owe it to yourself to finish strong and take the rest of the test one question at a time.

Just finished 63 and am looking for a BR partner. Anyone just recently finished this test or looking to go over some questions? If you havent taken this test yet Im willing to wait a few days and then BR.

Well got my score and indeed it confirms that LG wrecked everything. But looking at the score in the most favorable light, some thoughts emerge. Looking at my performance in the other sections, I scored at about my PT average for those sections. And my performance on those sections was hampered by my lack of focus due to games (Games was my section 2).

So while I didn’t get the score I wanted, nevertheless I’m feeling good about my chances in Nov.

So sept fam keep ya head up!

took post down

Anyone going? I will be there on Friday 10/11!

Hey all - i took the LSAT last January and scored a 148. obviously not happy and know i can do better. i have never used 7sage before but have done a lot of research and this seems like the platform to get me where i need to be. The school i plan on applying to has a deadline oof April 1st. was planning on taking the February LSAT this coming year.

I graduated last may and have been working full time in software sales at a start up company. Locked in 9-5 everyday but am not being watched and have the ability to maybe dedicate an hour or two from the 9-5 time slot to to studying.

Any advice, direction, etc. you can provide i would be very grateful of. Please don't hold back and be realistic.

I heard so many horror stories with underlining and highlighting.

Is the real thing different from 7sage in terms of latency and accuracy?

Also, I use iPad Pro 2nd + Apple Pencil 1. Has anybody been practicing with that combination noticed difference on the real thing?

Is it allowed for September LSAT takers to send copies of the test to other people? It seems that the rest of us won't have access to it until late November which makes it irrelevant for me since my test is Oct 28. I would be willing to edit personal statements for that test. I am a high school English teacher for what it is worth.

Anyway I put this out there if anyone is interested, just message me.

Hi,

When will the September LSAT be available to take digitally on 7sage? Thanks in advance!!

can you skip to other questions and then go back? or are you forced to complete the questions in order???

Hello all, I initially started studying around June and was originally testing at 144. I started the Princeton Review program and got up to 154 but had to ultimately push my September test date to November. Any chance of getting to 160 area by November? any recommendations on which program would be best? I heard alot of great things from 7sage.

I haven't come across any I've had to diagram and was wondering how common it is to diagram them and if anyone has examples of these in actual LR questions!

The description says it all. Is it wise/advantages to email the school your are applying to and express your interest in their school?

I know that when practicing on 7Sage we get the option of doing this. I was wondering if this option will be on the actual exam as well.
