This morning was pretty devastating. I took the June LSAT without any studying and got a 161. Then I retook it in September after completing about 100 hours of studying and literally got a 162.

I felt like I really saw improvements in my understanding and application. So is this the best I can do?

Hey guys, how long do you guys spend when learning a section of LR. I feel like I take weeks learning a new topic before moving on to the next one. Any tips will help? Crying here at Starbucks while trying to study. I feel like I am taking way too long to understand something. Thanks!!

For example, to understand RRE questions, its taking me like 3 weeks and counting.

Drills

Hi, I am having a really hard time understanding the set up for the drills. Is there an easier more user friendly interface ? Can the drills be randomized ?

I just got my results for my September LSAT and I scored lowered than I had on the practice exams. I was scoring in the high 160s prior to the exam and I got a 159 on the official LSAT. I stopped studying after I took my LSAT to continue my job and prepare for school. Would it be too difficult and short of time to take the November LSAT? I will also be attending school and I would only have one month to prepare. With attending school, I am slightly concerned my studying may conflict with studying for my midterms. I want to get my applications out early so I am worried if I take a later LSAT, my chances will deter. I am also planning to graduate this year, so would it be better I take a gap year? I am also concerned I will not be able to fill up the time during the gap year. Overall, I am just looking for some advice regarding if taking the November LSAT seems feasible in my condition. Thank you!

Hey 7Sagers,

The September score release has arrived. Once you receive a score, it can be difficult to determine exactly how it fits into your law school aspirations- especially when you're on the fence about cancelling!

We'll be featuring a free session led by one of our Admissions Consultants to help you interpret your score on two different dates:

  • Wednesday 9/25 at 4:00 PM ET, with Jake Baska
  • Friday 9/27 at 4:00 PM ET, with Samuel Riley
  • 🍪 These classes are open to all users.

    ⚠️ You must register in advance.

    Dyslexia

    I was wondering if anyone here has dyslexia? I have pretty bad dyslexia. Whenever I read words begin to look like mush and my brain can’t process words the same way someone without dyslexia can. I was wondering if anyone here has dyslexia and if there is anything you do / take that helps with it.

    Hey 7Sage—I want to show you a feature of our new design and ask some questions about it. Respond if you're interested and if you have some time today! I'll probably want twenty to thirty minutes of your time over Zoom.

    Hey guys, I'm loosely following the LSAT Trainer's scheduled recommendations for PTs and Drill Set. I know I can take the Drill Sets on LawHub, but I would prefer to have my metrics recorded on 7sage for later analysis. I understand that I can generate new Drill Sets on 7sage, but is there any way I can take the LawHub drill sets on 7sage as well?

    Hi everyone,

    I took PT 123 last night and noticed that all the passages were in the 1-2 difficulty range. I received a good score on the test, but now I am wondering if it is a little inflated? This would be a 5 point improvement since my last PT 3 weeks ago, so I also think I could have just got better.

    Is this not a concern because of how the conversion works?

    TIA!

    Does anyone have an experience of testing in-person with ADHD accommodations (i.e. extra time)? I am worried I will get to testing center and somehow my test will not have accommodations or the proctor won't be aware if that makes sense

    Hi all,

    I started studying this summer with like 15-20 hours a week just doing core curriculum, no PT. I was really starting to improve. After I started taking PT, my scores were stuck at a 154. I am not sure if I should redo the complete curriculum because I have time, however, it has been immaculately frustrating as I worked my butt off this summer. I wasn't doing the read review method during my drills, and I'm not sure if that is why. Any suggestions?

    For months, I had been scoring consistently relatively well on practice tests, taking two tests a week, but for the past two weeks I have been scoring about 5 points worse despite maintaining the same study practices. The other day I hit a score that was the same as my diagnostic test and today, even though I felt much better about it, was almost the same. I take the test in less than two weeks. What do I do?

    I hit my goal score of 168 with a BR score of 174. I have only taken 5 PTs so far that have only trended upwards, previous PT score was a 160 with a BR score of 166. I understand I still have many weeks to keep studying but I do have midterms on the two weeks leading up. My anxiety for whatever reason is higher than ever, I don't have a real average of PT scores because I have only taken 5 PT that have only had upward trends after each. I do believe my ceiling is higher than what I scored but I want to make sure im consistent. My plan is to drill LR and RC for the first half of each week and take a PT at the end of each week, is this a good plan? Any tips for handling anxiety especially with my case? I really hope it was not a fluke.

    Hello!

    I have been PTing at 150 for the past 3 months despite studying an average of 4 hours a day drilling specific question types, doing sections of LR and RC and then blind reviewing every question and then inserting them into my wrong answer journal. Recently I took a completely untimed PT where I allowed myself to think through each question and didn't move on until I was 100% sure the AC I picked was correct. On that PT I scored the highest I've ever scored a 156, however I know I can do better, but I'm taking the October LSAT. It's clear that extra time would be extremely beneficial to me as especially with RC I need to take longer on the passages in order to understand what is being said.

    Does anyone have any time strategy suggestions that can hopefully help me actually score closer to my potential by October? Or should I just accept that I will most likely score a 150 and retake it in January?

    Thank you!

    As an international student from Ghana, I am having difficulties concentrating for more than an hour when taking PTs. I don't know how to resolve this, as I am registered to write the October LSAT and I don't feel prepared enough. If anyone here can help me with some useful tips on how to study better and maybe help me with study groups.

    My time zone is GMT +00, I am available at any time and ready to put in the work to get my desired score please. Help a sister out ;(

    Does anyone know a good estimate of how long the writing sample takes to process? I took the September LSAT, and had a lot of unexpected things happen in the time following the test, hindering me from completing the writing sample. I am wondering how long it takes for the writing sample to process. Do you think if I take it tomorrow, Wednesday 9/18, it will process before the score release date for September?

    I have 1.5x time accommodations for the LSAT. I took the LSAT test on paper with a scantron. I am scheduled to do the writing portion soon. I got scheduled for a paper and pencil writing exam. Obviously I would much rather type because it is way faster.

    So my question is: Does having accommodations for the LSAT require me to taking the writing portion on paper, or do others with accommodations take it similar to lawhub style (typing)?

    As someone with ADHD something I often run into is self doubt. It can be in any situation but for me schooling was a place it came up often. As the LSAT is a test designed to make even a confident person second guess themselves, how do people go about trying to study with a voice of self doubt in your head?

    I was following the version 1 curriculum until I got to the introduction to logic section which focuses on logic but is that for the logic games? Some people said to switch to the v2 curriculum but I do not know where to start with the version 2 curriculum. Can anyone help me or should I just start from the beginning and proceed?

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if anyone has gotten an accommodation letter for major anxiety (testing anxiety, panic disorder, etc.) and how your process went in getting the letter and LSAC accepting it? Was LSAC easy going with it or did you have to appeal at all/provide additional info? I've heard from some people that they prefer certain healthcare professionals to others.. not sure
