Hi Guys!

This is my first time to study the LSAT and have never bought any resources. My target score is 170. I have some philosophy background including logic but it was very elementary logical arguments. what would be the the right steps I need to follow?

Thanks

Okay so I scored a 162 on PT 71 and 178 on BR.

Stats:

-6 S1

-0 BR S1

After recording, I noticed something alarming. On LR Section one I spent:

13:47 on just 4 of the hardest questions (I got all right)

6:15 on the 6 questions I got wrong.

All of the questions I got wrong I spent around a minute on each. I spent very little time on the questions I got wrong that I didn't think were hard and much more time on the perceived hard questions.

You guys need to record yourself taking PT's to see where you're sinking time and maybe not spending enough time.

Does anyone have any more tips for recording? What to look for? How to tweak my strategy?

I am signed up for th June lsat. My recent scores have been 165, 168, 169, 169, 171, 165, 170, 173. And then today I got a 164 on pt 72. I know sometimes we just have bad days but I went into this test rested and confident, I just don’t know what happened. Trying not to let it bring me down but I am experiencing some anxiety for sure with only 3 weeks left to go. While I’ve hit 170+ several times, I just don’t feel solidly there and would be pretty bummed if I score below it on test day. Sadly July is not an option for me as I’ll be abroad. How should I proved. LR seems to give me the most trouble, today I missed a combined 14 Questions there alone

Hello all, I'm new to 7sage, still in the free account (unfortunately, found out about 7sage after signing up for another in-person class $1400).

I officially started studying and classes mid-April, and didn't realize at the time that I would not be prepared for the June test.

My diagnostic came out to be 149. I study every day, at minimum 6 hours (which includes 3 PTs a week, reviewing, drills, homework from class, etc.) and some times up to 10 hours. I have no other commitments, I just separated from the military and going to Georgetown has always been my dream. At this point, realistically speaking, I'm so devastated my score is STILL stuck at the same place as I started about a month ago. I bought all of the PTs already and I have a lot of the conceptual knowledge down, but it's still not working out. One improvement, I guess, is that I can get through most of the questions (not correctly, but...) under a proctored PT, just leaving about 2-3 questions per section (still bad...), compared to leaving 6 questions or so in the beginning.

Is it even realistic that I can improve at minimum 10 points in the next two months? I know June will be a disaster, but hopefully "trying it out" will make me less anxious for the July exam.

I have my mind set pretty firm on July being the last exam because I want to apply ED for Georgetown.

My LSAC GPA is 3.72, and I am not URM. Do I even have chances of getting in with this low of an LSAT score?

*If anyone has any advice on getting into Georgetown or rather, how I should approach the school, I will most gladly take it.

What can I do to improve, what is my problem? Am I not studying smart?

I've already realized that I did not set up a realistic goal in the first place with an unrealistic time frame, so please help me out what I CAN do, rather that what I failed to set up or take into account.

This post is not saying that I am giving up, but I need to navigate to the right way in chances of doing whatever I can to increase my scores. This is a side note, but since I already have the PTs, should I still purchase 7sage?

I will really appreciate some feedback! Thank you for listening to my sadness...

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had any experience with accommodations? I have a hand injury that makes it tough to write right now. It's on the mend, but I'm not sure what it will be like when I plan on the Sept 2018. I'd like to see if anyone has had to take accommodations out and what their experience was like.

Rock on!

Hey, everyone!

I'm putting together my resume for applications and am wondering how other folks have managed to handle their experience.

I have been working for 2 years FT post-graduation, but had internships throughout my undergraduate career (every semester and summer) that were all relevant to pursuing law.

If I include my two full time jobs and 5 internships (one includes being hired as a research consultant part time while still in school), I quickly take up one page with experience. The internships were - Global Attitudes Research Assistant (consultant position hired out of Global Strategy Internship) for an advocacy organization, Host Country Affairs Intern (this was with the State Dept. at the US Mission to the UN), Public Policy & Affairs Intern at a LGBT health org, Paralegal Intern at an impact litigation organization and Legal & Public Policy Intern at an alternatives to incarceration court.

Does anyone have any feelings on this? Is it fair to include each of these and maybe just limit the bullets to 1 or 2 for the internships?

Hey everyone,

So, I have been studying on and off for lsats with 7sage because I had school earlier.

I also only studied individual question types through the cirrciculum of 7sage (strengthening/weakening) did not even get through whole cirriculum yet nor had i completed any practice tests...except one last summer - i don't even count that because i was not going in with any strategies. Anyways, thats the context, but I recently took a practice test times and my diagnostic score was 140.

I was very upset with this. But I took in to consideration that I barely completed some sections due to my speed/time.

I barely understood any logic game...and guessed on all of them.

If i study hard for the next 3-4 months (7 sage cirriculum) and do PTs for 1 month - do you believe I have potential to reach atleast 160 - 165 atleast?

I am unsure of wether that will be sufficient time to write the Sep. lsat -

any advice?

thank you all for any suggestions, appreciate it!

I just did my first untimed LR section(s) following months of focusing on the LR section of the curriculum and I am honestly stunned. LR was always my weakest even in BR and it feels like I've finally made progress.

I went -5 (-3 BR) and -2 (-1 BR). I used to go at least -7 on one section of LR.

Part of me thinks maybe it's just an analomy or because I'd seen some of the questions before in problem sets or curriculum. I know it's just part of the journey since it's just one data point and doing it timed is a whole other issue but I didn't know who else to share this milestone with but my 7sage family (3(/p)

Hi all,

I'm having a hard time deciding whether I should take the July or September exam as my third (and final) take. I have two cancellations on my record, so ideally, I would like my next take to be my last and final one. If all hell breaks loose, I'm willing to take it a fourth time, but this is an absolute last resort (knock on wood).

I'm currently PTing in the mid 160s and I'm aiming for a 167 on test day. I'm really not set on a goal score because my LSAT journey has been rather long and tedious, with a lot of breaks in between, so I'm ready to conquer this beast once and for all.

My hesitation with September is that 1) I'm not a morning person by any means (as proven by my last two takes) and 2) I live about an hour's drive from the test center, which would add to the stress (I got an Airbnb close to the test center last time but had trouble falling asleep in a new environment).

I'm concerned about the July test not being disclosed because 1) I don't entirely trust the LSAC and 2) it would be nice to get some feedback for a retake if I get a really unexpected score.

I'd really appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you!

So I am new to the online class world and I am not sure if I am doing it right. I chose the starter option because its what I could afford. I was studying on my own for months but for some reason I am still horrible at practice tests. A fiend suggested I sign up for an online class because its hard to get the improvement I need on my own. I started the syllabus today and want to make sure I use all of the resources at my disposal efficiently. Can someone help? I was hoping I could inbox someone, or something, idk. Like I said, don't really know if I am doing this right, so I figured I should get help sooner rather than later I plan on taking the LSAT in December 2017.

Hey guys I was just going over some notes from the RC webinar that fellow 7sager @"nicole.hopkins" did. In the notes was reference to a webinar that @DumbHollywoodActor and @"Quick Silver" did for RC and I was told it is very helpful. I wasn't able to locate it "if it still is around" but if anyone could guide me in the direction of it that would be awesome! Please let me know if anyone knows what I'm talking about. Thanks guys!

How do you focus on a LR or RC question when they seem so boring to you? I don't know how many more LR questions I can read about plankton. I always have to re-read "boring" things because I can't focus on them, which takes up a ton of my time. Any tips for staying engaged when you'd rather stab yourself in the eye?

Hi, I live in Paris, and when I try to extend my account, it says "7sage not available in France", could someone help me with this please?

Hello, sometimes when I try to watch a video in the CC, it won't load properly. I've tried refreshing and leaving the page, but this doesn't always work. I'm using Microsoft Edge, and I never had this issue when I went through the CC the first time. (This is my second time through). Is anyone else experiencing this issue, and does anyone have a solution?

Hey 7Sagers!

I was wondering if someone who already had practice simulating test-day conditions/completing a p-test could provide some input.

If you take the test in a public place like a library, do you use headphones to listen to the proctor app? (I don't want to disturb other ppl in the library, but I also feel like wearing headphones won't be representative of the test day environment).

Any advice/comments about your own experience would be very much appreciated!

Hi all,

Looking for some input on which PTs to prioritize. I have access up to PT59 via 7Sage and also have a few in the late 60’s/early 70’s through a friend that come with Kaplan written explanations. I know the most recent ones are more reflective of the actual test, but I feel like I learn better from 7sage’s explanations.

What would y’all recommend? I plan to go through the other group in timed sections/drilling regardless but trying to decide which to focus on for my final 5 full-length PTs.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, folks!

It's been a while. I was on vacation and took a much needed break from studying - now I'm trying to find the motivation to jump back in and attack my weak spots before June.

The 3 folks writing my letters of rec (2 academic, 1 professional), have asked to see my statements in June so that they have time to meet with me to discuss and then also write my letters. My current dream is to hit "submit" in September or, latest, October.. So, timing is important with all of this.

I have a Personal Statement, GPA Addendum and Diversity Statement. Would anyone be willing to read through any/all of them? If so, please let me know and I can send you the Google Doc link! I think they are in a good place, but want some eyes to read them who do not know me before I send them to those writing my letters of rec.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Can anyone offer insights on how to start prepping again after a somewhat long break? I sat in February and scored a couple of points below my average, but without a score breakdown I don't know where I went wrong. I haven't touched the test since then and now feel a bit lost as to how to start again. My hope is to sit again in October. My February score was only 4 points off my goal.

Has anyone had a similar experience? How did you approach things? What worked for you?

Hey guys I was just going over some notes from the RC Question type webinar and mentioned in it was a "RC Annotations" webinar that fellow 7sager @"nicole.hopkins" did. I wasn't able to locate it "if it still is around" but if anyone could guide me in the direction of it that would be awesome! Please let me know if anyone knows what I'm talking about. Thanks guys!

I am currently PT'ing around 161-162 and BR'ing 172-174. I'm aiming for 165+ on the June test.

by section I'm missing:

LR: 8-10 total

LG:3-4

RC:8-12

I know the fundamentals. Worked with an excellent tutor for RC. I seem to be choosing the attractor choice over the correct answer in LR and running out of time in LG. RC is about the best its going to get.

My questions are:

Where should I go from here?

Any strategies I could play around with to speed up?

After taking a total hiatus after withdrawing from the October test and then canceling the December test... I didn't know if I'd ever be back here. I just moved across the country to start a new job, so a lot is up in the air right now. Since I haven't been studying, I've been enjoying the extra free time more than ever, but a little voice in my head is telling me that I need to stop being lazy.

Any tips on getting back into it? Hoping the long break won't be too hard to bounce back from.
