so discouraged

I'm taking the august lsat and I'm so nervous! I've been drilling and taking practice tests. I'm improving on my drills, and I feel like I've gotten much better with eliminating answer choices, but I'm still stuck in the 150s. I really want to get into the 160s, but it's feeling less and less possible. Any advice? Or anyone in the same boat? :(

I Can't Focus

I have (I wouldn't say crippling) horrible anxiety for 6 years as well as being tested for ADHD right now and have other health stuff. I just quit during a PT cause I was getting so frazzled and want to cry. My diagnostic was May 2 and I haven't even finished the core curriculum. My diagnostic was a 148 (I was impressed), did another first week of studying = 148, then I got a 142 and 145 after doing a lot more studying. [all of my tests I haven't guessed if I don't know an answer - I just leave it blank to see how many I'm actually getting write - but I also don't get to all of the questions - I can't answer the last passage and usually miss 3-5 LR] I feel like I'm watching law school slip through my fingers. If I don't study one day or only do a couple hours I feel guilty and am hard on myself for not being productive. I was working FT and went to PT to study and it is not paying off. I'm writing Oct 1 and 2.5 months is not enough - I don't neeedddd a 170 but I need to be able to get in and I really don't want to go to a law school outside of my city because of cost of living. Every day I get more anxious because I am not seeing any increase. I can't afford a tutor.

Drills Setting

I was wondering if in the drill settings, where we can customize and create our own drills, if there's an option where we could drill the questions we got wrong?

I'm not sure if 7sage keeps track of every wrong question aside from those submitted in the preptests, but i feel like it would be helpful to be able to re-drill questions we've been answering wrong.

Thank you!

Hello, is there a way to remove the option of closed captioning automatically appearing when you start a video? I know you can downgrade the video player's functionality, but I like to use most of the functions its just that the closed captioning feature always needs to be manually turned off for every video explanation. IS there anyway to remove this "auto-on" feature for CC. #help

I'm trying to print out a practice test to review on a train when I don't have internet. I go to the practice test area, hit "printable" and nothing happens. I do not have a lawhub subscription, is that why? My lawhub and 7sage are linked. I'm just trying to find a way to study without internet.

It looks like the drill function gives me the option to choose (for example) LR questions by Causal Reasoning. But when I click it, it has zero questions. Is this just me? Could this be fixed? It would be super helpful to drill causal reasoning LR types or conditional reasoning, etc. Thank you!

September or October? Help

Hello,

I am registered to take the test in September. However, I don’t feel ready for it. I’ve been studying since mid-May with 7Sage, My diagnostic test was 140 then 142. I took another one and scored 150. After finishing the 7Sage LR curriculum I took another one and scored 156 and last week I took another and scored 148. I attribute this 148 to the fact I was not practicing all types of questions, so I forgot some stuff. All these months I’ve been only absorbing concepts and trying to understand some questions, but not really practicing. I started to take practice sections since last week, and I’ve improved a lot. Now that I know the concepts, I want to start practicing and come back to resources if I need to. The thing is that I feel like I want to take ALL the tests and understand the problems properly before the official test, and I do not think I can do that before my official test in September. I know still have a month and a half to get way better, but should pressure myself like that or just extend it one more month? I also wanted to take it in September because of the admission process. I don’t want to apply too late.

Should I just study really hard before the test in September (take like 3 tests weekly) or just cancel and take it in October?

Also, English is my second language so I want to improve my RC way more. I also feel bad because I have seen so many people improving fast but I am not.

I want to score at least 170+

Hey August test takers. I see the registration for location of the August LSAT starts on the 23rd. Any idea whether you all will be taking it at a testing center? I'm thinking this will help me focus- but can anyone offer me any insight on what the testing center will be like or how taking it in person was like?

7Sagers,

On Monday, September 19, at 9 pm EST, I’ll do another round of live lightning consultations.

What’s a lightning consultation? Basically, I’ll try to be as helpful as I can in five minutes. We might brainstorm personal statement topics, strategize about addenda, or discuss LORs.

If you want a free five-minute consultation about your law school application, I’ll need you to post a few things in the comments section:

    1. Your three-sentence biography.Your biggest worry about your application.Two ideas for your personal statement.Did you attend last time? Did I get to you?
  • I’ll get through as many people as I can in one hour, working in a mostly random order. Please don’t post to this thread if you can’t show up for the consultation. If you do show up, test your microphone beforehand. Make sure you have a strong connection to the internet, and that you can speak and be heard on GoToMeeting. If your microphone isn’t working, I’ll have to skip you.

    To join, just follow this link: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/590465709

    You can also dial in using your phone: United States +1 (408) 650-3123

    Hi, I'm planning on taking the August LSAT and was looking for any potential advice for trying to close the gap to 170+ by then. Generally, I take practice tests 2-3 times a week, review with the 7sage explanation videos, handwrite the wrong answer journal, and typically take one or two days off every now and then to avoid burnout. Thas been my general strategy - was looking for any insight about whether it might make more sense to drill as opposed to PT, do one a day or something. Thank you!

    First PT Score-concerned

    I have been studying for a little over a month and finished the core curriculum as well as drilling. I saw improvement when I implemented blind reviews. I have taken my first practice test and I feel so upset after receiving a 150. The blind review raised me by one point. Is this a normal baseline? I was hoping for at least a 155, and then I can drill the next two months till October and raise it to the 160s. The school I want to get into has a median of 165 but now I feel disheartened about my chances of getting in. Any advice or tips? I have lots of time but am running out of study material so I'm planning on getting a tutor.

    I already linked my existing LawHub account to 7Sage. I have already taken 6 PTs and reallyyy do not want to manually input every answer again to see my analytics, and just want to link them up. I have lurked around the platform and the last answer to this question was like 4 years ago (and said to manually input all of them)so I was wondering if they made any updates to this. Thanks!

    The Loophole and 7sage

    For those who have read the loophole, should I finish the CC on 7sage before reading or integrate both. I bought The Loophole as an addition resource. I am almost done all the question types on 7sage and have about 60% left and was doing well with the questions types and picking them up really easily but now as I am reaching the last few question types I am starting to struggle a lot (Weaken and SA). I wonder if I should begin reading the loophole to help Or if I should just continue to finish the CC since I am 60% done and then once Ive gone over all the question types on 7sage and then read the loophole as supplementary material to help with my weak areas?
