Help! I've been scoring within the same low-160s range (within 3 points) over the last 5 PTs! I know practicing consistently is key, but i don't want to keep wasting limited PT resources either.

I know many people experience a similar plateau at least once in their study journey, so I would appreciate any specific tips on how you managed to break through (beyond the vague 'just keep studying,' lol). Thanks! (3(/p)

Hi!

New member here and I just got my subscription to 7sage but now it's telling me I also have to get a LawHub Advantage subscription.

I am very confused, can I use 7sage without it?

I'm taking my LSAT in January, don't have time to give the course its due time. What are your suggestions?

Hey 7Sagers,

LSAC has recently unveiled their new writing section, Argumentative Writing. This is the first major change to the writing section since 1982!

How does the new Argumentative Writing section differ from the old writing section, and how should you update your approach? Instructor Alex Jacobs will be leading a session later today to help you hone your LSAT writing skills with an in-class practice prompt.

This class is free to all users! You can register for the session here.

Please join the real deal group, (don’t invite needed, just click on the link), where we are not just serious LSATers, we also have tutors who gave out ton of advice, and we have a study group basically every single day, with 180 LSATers and everything below.

Hi! I'm about to do my first Prep Test in about a year using the new format. I'm looking at the sections and I see 3 LR and 1 RC. I thought on test day, I'd have 2 RC and 2 LR. Is this correct? I'm wondering if I should complete all 4 sections of the Prep Test or if there's a way for me to replace the 3rd LR section with a RC to be more similar to what will show up on test day. Can I please get some advice on how I should go about doing the Prep Test to best model what is going to happen on test day? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

there's a blog post on Tags: https://classic.7sage.com/new-lr-tags-in-7sage/

The question type analysis, for example, in Logical Reasoning contains such tags as Causal Reasoning (CausR) or NA (Necessary Assumption). Sometimes I can find the relevant syllabus sections to review and improve my understanding but sometimes I cannot. Could I get some help in trying to match Question Type Analysis weakness tags with the proper syllabus sections so I can more efficiently review please?

Also, I'm wondering if I'm simply missing a tool that already does this? That would filter down the syllabus to just my weaknesses?

EDIT: I do know that you can type "Drill" into https://classic.7sage.com/progress/ and see some of them, but I'm looking for more of an expansive and authoritative guide please.

Thank you kindly!

Just curious about people’s experience with score improvement between a cold diagnostic and their first practice test. I took an essentially cold diagnostic after completing only the foundations section of the curriculum. Did people who have done that see any score improvement on their first practice test right after completing the dedicated RC and LR curriculum sections? If so how much?

Or will improvement only come with practice tests and drilling? Any info is great just curious what others experiences were.

Hi! I just took the LSAT in September and am planning to retake the exam in November. I received my score and score band back, but was wondering if it was possible to see the questions we got wrong from the exam after taking it? I would love to review what I got wrong on the exam but haven't seen anything on my portal that would allow me to see my raw score and questions. Thanks for your help!

I am scheduled to take my first and hopefully last attempt at the LSAT tomorrow morning. I have been studying for two almost three months. My ambition is low and I will take anything 150+ lol. :)

Good luck to everyone else who is taking the test tomorrow! Hope you get whatever score you're aiming for.

And if for some reason you cannot make post like this, let me add a question. Should you study the day before your LSAT test?

~Tyler

Some people say only 20oz are allowed, but I only have 24oz and need water during the test. What do yall think?

Hi all! Is there anywhere/how I can print my custom study schedule?

Thanks in Advance

Hi! Im a current full time student with a job and needed advice on a study schedule. I plan to study for around (6months. How much do you recommend I study per week? 10-15 hours?

Also, how many Horus of studying a day do y'all recommend? I can probably fit 5+ hours on a weekend but not sure if this is productive.(/p)

(Disclaimer-I am not actually Chappell Roan)

Anyone down to go over PT 152 Section 1 #14-25 ish today? Or if you wanna join my discord group here's the link: https://discord.gg/jrVHpuGb

Let's get this bread

I have a completed writing sample on file from the June 2024 LSAT and am planning to take the October LSAT. I confirmed with LSAC that I do not have to complete the Argumentative Writing sample since I have a writing sample on file already, but I'm wondering if this will hurt me in any way during the application cycle? Is it better to complete the Argumentative Writing sample since I am taking the new version of the LSAT or does it not really matter?

Hi everyone,

I'm just looking for some advice for an optimal study schedule. Any tips are appreciated.

Please keep in mind i currently work full time and have a 2 year old toddler.

Thanks in advance,

Hey 7Sage fam,

I just finished the core curriculum, and it felt like a big accomplishment! It took me three months, and things were starting to click in the lessons and drills. Then yesterday I started taking on some real sections, only to do considerably worse than before I started studying three months ago. Before studying at all, I was getting -6-7ish on LR sections, and now I'm at almost double that...help! Is this normal? What am I doing wrong? I really hope this is normal and I didn't waste 3 important months of study time :(

For the past two drills, every time I select an answer choice for the last question in the drill set, it doesn't save. So when I go to Blind Review, it appears as unanswered. #help

Does the study schedule they give us in the 'learn' tab include drills? If not, when do they expect us to do the drills? After each topic or at the end of the week or when?

Got my score back two days ago, and it was about 8 points lower than I was hoping for (165 vs 173). I signed up to take the November LSAT, but trying to figure out the best way of studying when I don't know which questions on the official test that I got wrong is really frustrating. I struggled with one of the LR sections, so I'll be going through the CC for LR again, but any other advice is appreciated! I was scoring much higher during PTs, even having ample time left over, and don't know where to go from here studying-wise, especially since I am in my senior year and have a full-time job on top of that.

ANY advice, whether it's about studying following a lower score, or scheduling time to study when you absolutely only have PT- time on the weekends is appreciated!

Any advice for plateaus? Should I get a tutor?

I am plateauing in the mid 160’s on average, although I have several practice test scores at 167, 168 and even 170.

I can’t really find a pattern in what questions I am getting wrong except that they are generally 5 star questions.

I have tried to simply drill the hardest level of each question type thinking that would help, but it hasn’t, even though I’ve been doing well on the drills.

If I dont know what to work on, I dont know how to get better. I’m super frustrated 😩

Taking the test in November with goal score of 168+. What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

I just finished the CC and I am starting the process of consistent drilling and PT's. I have done 3 so far and I have only done cold starts. As a result I spend the first three to five minutes of every test staring at the very first question trying to figure out what the hell it says. Definitely time for a change. With that in mind, does anyone have preferred warm up routines that work for them? Any findings from your own studying on what is most effective for warm ups?

Please let me know!

Looking to build a little stamina come test day and so took two 3-section PT's back to back this week, 6 sections in total. Has anyone else tried taking more than 4 sections in the same day and seen any improvement in their score because of it? What is the most sections you have taken back to back before?

hello,

I'm just here to vent. I started seriously studying for the LSAT in july of this past summer and took a diagnostic and after months off and scored a 139 on the diagnostic. Looking at the analytics of that PT it was an overall more challenging PT so I guess it makes sense. But despite doing literally everything right I am not improving at all. I'm a Canadian student and our applications are due nov 1 and i plan to take the october LSAT next week. However, I'm averaging a 149/150 and the highest I've scored in a timed PT is a 152. In an untimed test highest I've scored is a 156. My GPA is already considered pretty low so if I want to get into any law school it's dependent on my LSAT score. My original goal was a 158 or best case scenario a 160. But it seems like it's just not in my potential. I was planning on rewriting in January too but I don't think that'll help me chances as I already pushed it from August to October because in August my PTs were 147, 146, and 152 I thought I could realistically improve to a 158. It seems as though I can't do any better than 150 and Idk what to do about it. I've decided to apply to 1 law school in Ontario that doesn't have a minimum LSAT or GPA but its just devastating accepting the fact that I won't do better than I am now so matter how much time I give myself. For context I only have 1 class a week to finish my undergraduate degree and only work part time 3 days a week so I dedicate 2-5 hours of studying a day on LSAT prep.

Considering this is the case, should I even bother to write it in January or apply to the 1 school I have in mind and accept I'll be going to a school I don't particularly want to go to? Or should I just give up on law school and leave it be?

Thanks

Hi everyone!

I am taking the November LSAT & want to improve my score, but I am struggling between classes, work, and my internship this semester to find time to take multiple full-length practice tests per week. What do y'all recommend I should do instead? Drills? Videos? I'm open to all advice!!! Thank you!
