Like the logo always reminded me of something but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Alas, here I lay, at 2 AM, next to my sleeping lover, and I am having this eureka moment.

Do you think it was purposeful? And Like maybe that’s also why they chose the color to be blue? To make the similarity less obvious?

Also- Lawhub. Doesn’t the name remind u of a certain..ahem… website….

😭 I am stressing out. I started studying just 6 weeks ago. Originally scored a 143 on the diagnostic. Now I am scoring an average of 158. Then I got a 171! couldn't believe it. Now I am back to mid 50s and honestly. I feel like crap. I think. I am burning out. I study around 10 hours a day, 5 days a week like a full-time job.

However... I deff am having the biggest issue with timing. Also second guessing myself. it is to stressful and I just needed to vent. I deff need to just take my own advice and take a freaking break.

I am taking the November exam on the 9th. So I don't have a ton of time. I feel like if I don't apply within the next 2 months, I am just not gonna make it. I do plan on taking the January exam as well but I feel like applying after that exam is just so freaking late. I have my letters, personal statement, etc all done. Just need the LSAT score.

Anyone else feeling discouraged or in a similar situation? I feel I should take a few days off despite being so close to test day. Any advice?

thx

    Forgive me for complaining I just need to vent :')

    I know everyone says the progress isn't linear, but it is SO hard to find the motivation to study after your score goes down

    Three weeks ago I got a 169 on a prep test. I was ecstatic. After 3 months of studying, I felt like I was finally about to break into the 170's.

    Eager to prepare for another prep test, I spent the last three weeks adding to my wrong answer journal, going through the syllabus, and drilling question types I got wrong. I felt so confident.

    I just finished another prep test about an hour ago, and I scored a 164. It is not a bad score at all, and in fact if you told me 3 months ago that I would score a 164 I wouldn't believe you. But now, I feel like that 169 was just a fluke. I feel lost on how I can study better, and I am scared my score is plateauing, and I will burn out.

    I just don't know how I should study more effectively. Should I just focus on going through the course? Should I just drill over and over again? I just don't know.

    I know just about everyone here has gone through something similar, so I would appreciate ANY advice you have for me on how to regain this motivation and study better.

    Thank you for letting me vent, good luck to everyone studying!

    Hey y'all, I am thinking of writing an addenda about a family emergency I experienced earlier this year (I will write a bit more below). Additionally, should we but trigger warnings if we discuss heavier topics? With that I will put a TW: Suicide Attempt for what I am going to continue to mention down below:

    My brother's SA was a couple months ago as I was getting ready to start studying for the LSAT. Of course I delayed it to be with my brother and family but it deeply impacted me (and honestly still does). I have been formally diagnosed with some conditions because of this and although I have been able to study, it has been hard. Should I write about this in an addenda? If so, would it be appropriate of me to put a trigger warning? Thank you in advance for any replies (3(/p)

    patience

    my biggest problem is that i rush through questions and this results in me picking the most attractive wrong answers. answer advice on how to stay patient and thoroughly consider every answer choice?

    Beyond happy to be done 🥳

    Took my first diagnostic in October of 2023 - roughly 1 whole year before I took the October exam a couple weeks ago.

    Though 146 was my lowest, I've scored PTs in the 150s and a 180 and everything in between. I just wanted to give hope to those of you with low diagnostics that a 170+ is possible with proper study and hard work and to remind those of you still on your LSAT journey that progress is not linear and is rarely ever truly consistent.

    Thanks a ton to 7Sage and to JY for all the explanations, the drilling app, and the analytics UI. Couldn't have done it without you guys.

    I’m currently scoring in the 140s and looking for a study buddy from 7Sage who is scoring around the same range to do some LR questions together. Ideally, it would be great to find someone who enjoys learning verbally so we can discuss and process thoughts together. If you’re interested, please leave a comment or DM me! I’m in the PST time zone and usually available either in the morning or after 6 pm. Thank you!

    Hi everyone, I've studied for the LSAT for a while now, with the following fresh PTs remaining: a few in the 90s, two in the 80s, and one in the 70s. I plan to take the November LSAT and want to have a few remaining for the January if needed. Should I save one or two 90s for January and use the 70s and 80s now? Or is it better to remain accustomed to the most recent PTs (90s) before November?

    Any suggestions appreciated!

    If so, have you found that it helps and is worth the money? Any possible recs?

    I just received my October test results and my score was nowhere close to where I need it to be and was even worse than PT results. I also had technical issues during my last section of the exam which definitely affected my score. I am currently registered for the November LSAT but will likely push it back to January because I know this amount of time with a different study approach would allow me to improve my score.

    Any help here would be much appreciated, as I have not looked into tutors much at all before today. It's been a frustrating day to say the least but I know I can't change anything and just have to move forward.

    Motivation

    I got the score I was hoping for today, and I want to say thank you to 7sage! But I also want to leave some videos for posterity that motivated me during my studies. I came across this story when doing some googling about an absence of evidence flaw question regarding Fermat's last theorem.

    Some context:

    Hi Everyone

    I need some advice. Last year I had decided that I wanted to take the LSAT and go to law school. So I had taken the January 2024 and February 2024 LSAT and got 145s on each which is not the best score. From November to March, both of my grandparents were in and out of Hospital. They both passed away, one before my exams and one after. I affect me a lot because I was very close to them. I should have never taken the LSAT then because I mentally was not prepared. I spent most of my time in the ICU and although I did try to study, my mind was somewhere else completely. I know that the two LSAT's I took were not a representation of who I am as a test taker and my ability to go to law school, but do law schools know that or care?

    I have been studying for the November LSAT. My tutor suggested taking the November LSAT and if I do poorly then I would study for the January one. I don't know what to do. I know it looks bad to take the LSAT many times and 4 is a lot. Would law schools be understanding to me potentially taking the LSAT 4 times due to my circumstances? Should I take the November LSAT?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello, I plan on taking the exam in February and then another one in June. However, I do not feel prepared at all unless something starts to click for me until February. Would it be better just to forego the February test feeling unsure/ under prepared and just take the June lsat where I will feel better prepared?

    I've been studying for quite a while (since May but seriously since August ) and though in the beginning I made great stride with practice test score improvement, I am now a an impasse with progression. Ive read the LR bible, Loophole and LSAT trainer and i feel like a dunce. I cannot get to 160, does anyone have advice on getting past the wall of no improvement?

    I feel so discouraged and upset. I've taken 4 preptests lately and keep getting my base actual score of 157. No matter how much I study, practice, and complete wrong answer journals, I keep getting 157. I can get my score to around 163 after blind review, but I'm just so confused and upset that I can't get any higher in my normal attempts. I know 157 isn't the worst score but I was really hoping to do a little better than that. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, personal experiences, or literally anything that could help me in this context? I am so lost as to what I can do to improve. Any advice, help, or words would be so greatly appreciated. :(

    Hello - Does anyone know when the site will be done running maintenance? I got the notifications earlier in the week/last night that it would be starting at midnight on 10/18 and take a couple of hours, but it's now almost noon on the 19th and I'm still unable to access analytics/don't want to take drills/pretests as the data most likely won't be saved.

    I know the two hours was just an estimate, but is anyone else still experiencing this/know if they're still doing maintenance on the site, or is this something only I am experiencing? Weekends are really my only time to do the bulk of my studying, so fingers crossed it won't take all day today.

    Thanks! :)

    Hello everyone! I've recently started using 7sage to prepare for the February LSAT, and I think it’s an excellent program—I'm really enjoying the Foundations videos. However, I’m a bit unsure about a few things. Should I be practicing problems independently while I watch the videos? Also, what do you all do while watching? I’ve just been taking notes, but I’m not sure if that’s sufficient. Some friends using other programs have already started practicing problems right away, and I’m wondering if I should take that initiative too or wait until they come up in my syllabus. Any answers/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Update: The server updates went very smoothly and we are back online! Total downtime was about 11 minutes. Thank you for bearing with us while we did the upgrade.

    7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we update the servers.

    Pacific Time: 9pm Friday, Oct 18

    Eastern Time: Midnight Friday, Oct 18

    We expect that the site will be available again in two hours, hopefully less.

    Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!

    I was doing well on my prep tests and saw a lot of improvement in my score until last week when I started getting questions wrong that I usually don't even think twice about. I feel like I am back at my starting point. Has this happened to anyone? And what is your advice for starting to improve again?

    Is anyone on 7sage applying to Ontario law schools? Applications are due November 1st, so I am creating this discussion post for fellow Canadian students to ask questions about the application process and for inquiries about navigating the different steps in OLSAS.
