Hi everyone. I am looking for some general honest/helpful advice from those who have a similar story to me, and who eventually learned this test:

I started studying for this test about 6 months ago, and have increased my score 17 points from my cold diagnostic to my most recently highest scored PT. However, since I have started my PT phase (about one month ago until now), I haven't seen any real change in that score. I linger around the low 150's and can't break out of it with my current prep. I also linger around mid to high 160's with BR. I don't want to keep breezing through PT's when I don't feel as though I am utilizing them well (reflected in my consistent low scores). My main frustration right now is my -10 to -11 average scoring on my LR sections. When I take my full PT's, I feel so slow and uncertain when I complete the LR sections. It is so frustrating when I am that inaccurate and then miss around -3 to -5 when I blind review. I type out explanations for the LR questions I flag, foolproof logic games everyday, and continue to reuse passages to train myself to read for reasoning structure (utilizing the LSAT trainer method, which has increased my RC greatly). However, my scores when I actually take my PT's are still horrible, so I need some guidance on how to study efficiently and how to stop wasting my PT's because my BR method is clearly not sufficient as of now, since I can't break out of the low 150's. I should also note that this is based off of the 6 PT's that I have taken over the past month and a half.

I have another full year to devote to this test, and will sit for the test probably next July. I have about 45 PT's left to utilize and have the drive to learn this test. I just need to learn how to efficiently study for it. I really do believe that this test is completely learnable and that I can increase my score another 20 points, I just also know that it will take a long time with a lot of hard work. If you have any real advice for me, I would greatly appreciate it if you would either message me privately or just comment on here.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and reply back to this.

Will we get access to June’s exam before July’s exam?

Well, 7 takes and nearly 2 years of prep has come to a head! I am really happy to share that my June score was a 169! I cannot thank this community and all of you guys enough. For those of you still grinding, keep your head up and know that it will one day pay off. Seeing your dream score in an email is one of the best feelings in the world!! I ultimately learned that the only way to reach a desired end is to fall in love with and find fulfillment in perfecting the means. I already miss prepping. I will certainly make another post with more specific lessons learned and approaches that I found useful, very soon. But now I am off to celebrate!

Happy to report that I improved to a 169 on the June test! This was my second attempt, and I am signed up for July to try to get over the 170 hump. As the title alludes to, I feel like this result was in line with my typical scores, but the way I got there was...different...

Typically I get between 3 and 5 wrong in RC, usually 2 or 3 wrong in each LR, and 2 or 3 wrong in LG. Pretty even. Not so on this test. I bombed RC (probably because it was my first section and I was amped up/rushing). Missed 9 questions in the first section alone (-1 P1, -3 P2, -3 P3, -2 P4). I think I've only ever had 1 test where I missed that many in a single section and it was early in my prep. I then proceeded to go -1 LR, -0 LR, -1 LG for a -11 overall.

I've been drilling RC hard these past few weeks and participating in the blind review calls (thanks J.Y.). Hopefully my July performance will be a little more even, but I am extremely happy with this result and grateful to the entire 7sage community. For all you future test takers out there, just remember that if you have a bad section you can still perform well on the rest of the test and get a good score!

So I took the June LSAT yesterday. I think it went alright (fingers crossed)... but I have signed up for July just in case my score comes back and I am not satisfied.

I am curious as to what others would recommend I do in terms of being prepared for July if need be. Scores are not released until Thursday June 27 ( a little over three weeks from now), and the July LSAT is on Monday July 15. I don't have any "fresh" prep materials left, at least none that are remotely recent, so I am unsure of how to best invest my time. Do you think it is wise to relax and decompress between now and June 27 (when I get my score back)? I was thinking of doing pretty much nothing until then since I am not sure if I have to retake, and since I have already done all of the recent PrepTests, I could review my June LSAT (since it is disclosed), and then just spend the first two weeks of July reviewing the materials I have already done and familiarizing myself with the digital format in case I end up being in the 50% of test takers that get the digital version in July.

What do you guys think?

Hi All, quick question about how schools receive scores. I took the June LSAT and am fairly confident I didn't get my goal score. I'm retaking in September. Am I correct that once I send schools my Sept. score, those schools will also see my June LSAT score? Thanks in advance.

Hello folks,

Something’s been bothering me ever since I’ve heard about the digital LSAT and I just wanted you guys’ opinion on it.

I don’t have bad handwriting per se, but I do unconsciously take up a lot of space, which isn’t great for things like LG. As JY once said: Write small, write fast, write neat.

So my question for you guys is: is anyone actually excited to take the digital LSAT because of the scratch paper ?

I am sitting for the July LSAT, as most of know, we are allowed to see our score before deciding to cancel it. I was wondering what score would be a definite cancel? I have a LSAC weighted GPA of 3.75 and would really like to have ANY LSAT score on file (even if I plan on retaking in November) so I can send out some applications for ED. I do not mind going to a tier 4-5 law school if worst comes to worst, as my REAL need is scholarships. I am under a contractual obligation to take the July LSAT (free prep material from my undergraduate will have to be payed back if not taken by July) but I just graduated in December 2018 and barely got to LSAT studying in March. I am a non-tradition law school applicant, I graduated HS in 2003 and decided to go back to school 10 years later after being in the business world. I am a first generation college graduate and of course a first generation potential law school student and would appreciate any and all advice, as there are so many conflicting posts/threads online. My PTs ranged from 134 in March to 147 as of last week. Of course I will continue to use my Princeton Review prep materials until test day. I would like to know if I should cancel a score if I plan on retaking in November? Is it okay to have, say a 150 on file and retake it in November in hopes of getting a higher score?

Soft notes:

I have 10+ years of work experience (solid resume)

I have 2 LOR's (one from a professor, 1 from a business partner)

A great personal statement

Volunteer experience

Hi Guys,

Who's in DC and looking to meet in-person to study and br for the July LSAT?

Please, drop a comment!

Hey,

Just a quick question - from my understanding we cannot use the Beta tester program to do individual sections. How do students if they want to get the feel of individual sections online practice? Like I want to do RC online but do not want to do an entire test.

Any suggestions?

Is there somewhere on 7sage to purchase the logic games bundle to foolproof the games. I thought I had seen it somewhere but now I can't seem to find it.

Does the score come back on June 27? Also, will I get the score if I didnt do the writing sample yet?

Hey guys, I'm looking for advice on the best way to move forward in my LSAT studies.

I took about a 3 week break due to lots of stuff going on at work and travel. Prior to my foolish hiatus, I was taking one or two timed sections a day, averaging -3/-4 on LR, -2 on LG, and -5/-6 on RC (so my scores have been hovering around the mid 160s). When I got back into studying last week, I started using the digital test taker and my scores have totally tanked. I'm talking -6/-7 on LR and even -9 on a single LR section yesterday, which is probably the worst score I've seen in over a year.

I guess I'm trying to isolate whether this massive score drop is due to the switch to digital or because of my extended break from studying... should I continue using the digital test taker and push through? Or should I temporarily return to paper testing to rebuild my skills and confidence?

My first LSAT score was a 161 in July 2018. I need at least a 165 by September 2019. This seemed so achievable a few weeks ago and with consistent scores, I was even hopeful that I could make the climb 170. But now I feel like I've taken ten steps back. What would ya'll recommend for me to get back on track?

Thanks for your tips!

Those looking for some entertainment watch the explanation on test 54 section 2, question 25

I am interested in doing family or criminal law in DC. However, I have a full ride to any California public law school due to Calvet. Should i just apply within California and hope to find a job in DC later to graduate with no debt or should I apply to DC schools and take on loans?

As I take more LSATs still under 10 preps tests I am noticing I am getting best sections but can never string together a great whole test. Is there any advice on the best ways to string together whole tests because when I train individual sections I can get down to -2/-4 rather easily. Is it smart to string together multiple sections when I practice between doing whole pretests? Also is it worth using newer logic games than training with old ones?

So i dont want to spent over $500 to buy the go just to practice the digital lsat. Does anyone have any recommendations for cheap tablets to drill digital lsat?

Hey 7Sagers, I'm leading BR calls for PT 66 Reading Comprehension.

There will be four sessions total.

All sessions will be from 9pm - 11pm ET. Please see detailed schedule below.

What happens in these sessions?

We'll read the passage together, paragraph by paragraph. I'll ask you to make low resolution summaries of each paragraph. We'll use those low res summaries to build higher resolution summaries. Then, we'll answer the questions together.

How should I prepare?

Have a clean, unmarked copy of the PT ready in front of you so we can read and answer the questions together. Please wear headphones and try to be in a quiet place.

Hi all,

I've just taken June LSAT in Seoul and had two LG sections. One of the sections had a game to decide full or routine inspection. The other game in this section was to decide something about pieces belong to Tv or Print or either... I dont remember any games from the other section. Can anyone shed light on whcih LG was the dummy?

Thanks in advance!

When I first began the course, I blind reviewed the standard way (wrote out explanations for circled questions, input my blind review answers of the entire test, then looked over explanations for any trouble questions). Now, I have gotten into the habit of blind reviewing a section, inputting my blind review answers for that specific section, and then going over explanations (rinse and repeat 4x for each individual section). Does anyone see anything harmful with this way of BR? I have found that my current routine has helped to keep my approach to each question more fresh in my head since the BR of each test can take up to 8 hours.

Any comments/critique greatly appreciated!

Hello All,

I am sitting for the July LSAT and I had two questions for everyone.

For those who have sat in the past, what method did you find most effective after you have exhausted most PTs with thorough BR? I have four PTS left and I am scoring where I want to. I understand that there is less than a month until the July exam and I want to avoid burnout, but I am also worried about becoming too relaxed and not staying on top of my studies, so I am conflicted on the best approach I should take regarding my study habits during the next few weeks.

For those sitting for the July exam, what strategy are you employing as we wind down the days until the exam?

All feedback is extremely helpful! Sending good vibes to all July testers! Thanks.

Hi all,

I have been lightly studying for 2 weeks and am going to buckle down as soon as I commit to a 7sage package.

My cold PT was a 149 and I’m really looking to push myself to a 162 - 166.

This brings me to my main question/concern. Can I digest premium/ultimate+ in this time frame. And, is my test date too late as well?

I originally wanted to take October but a nondiscolsed test for me is a no go. Also I’ve read that it’s ok to take a November test as long as you apply right when you get your score.

I want the best bang for my buck here, and that’s why I’ve chosen 7sage. So is ultimate+ worth it for my time frame?

I'm transferring (PCS) to Fort Riley this June. I am a mother of two toddlers and full-time Army. I am also going to be geographical bachelorette for the next 24 months. If any veterans at K-State or active duty personnel are interested in studying during the week please let me know. I am planning to take the test next summer.
