Glitch in Drill ACs

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

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 :(

I am currently working on writing my personal statement and I am not a great writer, at all!! I have heard many ways to go about topics to discuss, what to include, and what not to include.

Can someone offer any help or advice?!? Possible proofreading and provide unbiased feedback?

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

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!

    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!

    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 ?

    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.

    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.

    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!

    ADHD testing in -person

    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

    Just wanted to share my experience in case it may be helpful to anyone, as I know I found some of these posts comforting while going through the test process.

    My original diagnostic score from November of 2023 with no prep was a 161. I then began prepping casually on Khan Academy and scored PTs of 163, 162, and 162. Once I decided to commit to the LSAT I began a different test prep program other than 7Sage and registered for the June 2024 exam. Within this program I had these PT scores 162, 160, 164, 158, 161, 165, 164, 165. On the June LSAT I scored a 162 and was extremely disappointed because I had made nearly no progress from my diagnostic. Luckily I was able to get my money back from that other prep program and my friend recommended 7sage.

    After starting individual tutoring with 7sage I immediately started feeling better and more confident and planned to take the September LSAT. My PT scores were as follows: 164 (174 BR), 167 (169 BR), 168 (169 BR), 169 (170 BR), 169 (176 BR), 167 (BR 168). Then, my last PT before the LSAT did not go to plan due to testing environment conditions and I got a 163. Obviously this shook my confidence a little bit but after talking with my tutor I was able to relax a little bit. I ended up getting a 171 on the September LSAT, and while I am confident if I continued to study I could improve even more, I am feeling pretty good about executing on test day and earning my pb for a timed score.

    I felt so defeated after the June test, and even before checking my results from September I was so anxious that I would not improve my score. All this to say I highly recommend the individual tutoring program and always go into test day confident and knowing that you could get your best score yet on the official test.

    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!

    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?

    Help!

    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?

    Cannot improve

    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?

    Hello, I have been reluctant in requesting my transcript from National Clearing House. When I input the mail address directly from the LSAC website it tells me the address cannot be found.

    Has anyone used the email option from National Clearing House and was it accepted? I'm hesitant about the email option since it says it will send my transcript as a link... If you have please include what email you listed it being sent to!

    Thank you!

    Hi all,

    I started studying for the LSAT about eight months ago, and I started seriously studying/taking PTs in the last four months or so. I have consistently faced the issue of not being confident enough whenever I am on timed sessions. I see myself changing my answers from correct to wrong answers on LR. I am current in the low 160s 161-164 range, and every time I BR, all the correct answers are so obvious. My BR is in the 170s. But whenever, it is under time, either I don't see the correct answers or I just get so fixated on the wrong answer. I also have had problems with except questions. I would think to myself that it is an except question, and then by the time I get to the last answer choice I just forget that I was dealing with the except question. Any advice on mechanisms/strategies on how to improve confidence/preventing careless answers? I have been trying to do some strategies like, pointing at ACs as I read through. My RC could also be better, like around -4. -5 right now. I get to -2 or 0 when I BR for RC. For RC, my main issue is with rushing the last paragraph when I get freaked out.

    I was hoping to take the October LSAT, but it seems like I might have to withdraw and shoot for November. Any advice for whether or not I should sit for October? This is mainly also because I have taken it twice already and once canceled/ one in the 160s. Thank you.
