Hey guys. I've been doing prep for the last 2-3 months (7sage & Other), looking at taking my first practice test tomorrow since my June LSAT (145, I know it's bad please don't scold me, I know I shouldn't have wasted the attempt).

I am hoping to score a 160 (hopefully) on the November LSAT with 3 weeks left and "crunch" time approaching what would the best way be for me to dedicate the rest of my time. Would it be to take just practice tests or would it be beneficial to see how my PT goes tomorrow and look at my weakness and tackle them there?

I'm just stressed as taking a gap year is not possible for me (I already have work experience too, so no hindering there). I'm hoping to finish my applications and submit as soon as I get my LSAT score. I'm looking for any and all advice, please I'm trying to be optimistic I just need someone sane to tell me if this is unrealistic?

I had above a 3.5 GPA during undergrad, but took three courses at a technical school before attending my four year university. The courses were challenging and my gpa was a 2.6. I’m wondering if I should write an addendum or leave it be so I don’t draw more attention to it? Please let me know what you would do!

I find that going through the curriculum so far I find that I end up spending way longer.

For example, I just completed my Wrong answer journal with my diagnostic being the June 2007 LSAT. I find that I spent way more than two hours over the course of two days to complete it. I counted my hours and I spent seven hours going though it. On my Blind review for the same test it took me about 7-8 hours to go through it. I originally started doing the lessons, arguments, but I decided to restart my progress to do a diagnostic first. I write notes for my lessons and do the quizzes, but I find that it takes me four hours to do a lesson that is estimated to take 2 hours in total. Here is how I have it spread out to work on it currently. My schedule that I plan to follow is this to do the argument lessons,

Schedule:

T- 1.3 hr (lessons)(rounded to 2-3hrs because I write notes and stuff)

W- 1.6 hr (lessons)(rounded to 2-3hrs because I write notes and stuff)

Th- Review notes on topic + Make anki deck on important terms

Fri-1.8 hr( lessons and notes)

St- Review Notes + Anki Deck

Sn- Rest day

M- Start next session

Should I just go through the videos then write notes when I am finished. I am uncertain how they wanted people to reach the estimated times.

Hey! I took the August LSAT after consistently scoring around 160-164. I got a 158 on the real deal. Since then, because I'm a full time student, I have not had much time to study or improve. I've since taken two more PTs and gotten a 161 and 162. I do not struggle with a specific question type, but typically the highest level of difficulty (though even that is pretty inconsistent). I am retaking in November and would like to feel a little more secure when it comes to hitting my goal of somewhere in the 160s on the real thing. I simply do not know how to improve, as I know different approaches work for different people. As of right now, my plan is to keep drilling and just go over every single wrong answer to try and weed out any bad habits I might not realize I have. Feeling not so great to be honest lol

How can we enter a proctored test on 7sage? Are these reoccurring?

I remember during the drills in the syllabus there was a slider for expected accuracy/inaccuracy, can you do that when making drills under the Practice tab? For example I want to do harder drills so I would want to put it to like a higher expected wrong answer percentage.

Hello 7Sage, I am currently learning from your grammar lessons and I wanted to know when we use this knowledge on the test, are we constantly trying to parse out the subject, verb, and object? Or is this information that we can draw upon when sentences get tough and are not sure what the sentence even means? Or use it for something else? Granted, I have not learned every module of the grammar lesson but I would like to know to prepare.

I'm willing to fully assist the first 3 people to join with either a personal statement or diversity statement for free and with a personalized approach.

Hi All—Should I study and review the experimental sections in addition to the scored sections? Or is it unnecessary and too time-consuming? While taking a pretest with an experimental section might help boost stamina, I'm not sure how wise it is to study and review them. Most of you would likely say I should study and review them. But why exactly? Could you please share insights on the importance of reviewing experimental sections? Thank you.

I finished PT 38 and its only showing how many i got wrong, but not the actual scaled score which is confusing. The circles where the score should show is completely empty.

So I'm taking the LSAT in about a month now, so I really want to buckle down and squeeze the last few extra points I can out of it. The only problem is that I work full time and find it difficult to come home and take a full length test, so I limit the amount of test I take to one a day on Saturday and Sunday. I just feel that, after a long day of work, I wouldn't be able to preform like I should, and wind up getting frustrated. Should I focus most of my weeknights into drills, or is there a different strategy I should be looking at?

I was struggling with timed tests because I felt like my anxiety about my performance made me forget everything I learned beforehand. I started taking a few breaths during the beginning of my exam and pretending it was untimed practice, and it worked! I went from 165 last week to 173 today!!!!

Is there a way to just take timed sections of previous LSAT, instead of the whole exam? Please helppp

Help! I've been scoring within the same low-160s range (within 3 points) over the last 5 PTs! I know practicing consistently is key, but i don't want to keep wasting limited PT resources either.

I know many people experience a similar plateau at least once in their study journey, so I would appreciate any specific tips on how you managed to break through (beyond the vague 'just keep studying,' lol). Thanks! (3(/p)

Hi!

New member here and I just got my subscription to 7sage but now it's telling me I also have to get a LawHub Advantage subscription.

I am very confused, can I use 7sage without it?

I'm taking my LSAT in January, don't have time to give the course its due time. What are your suggestions?

Hey 7Sagers,

LSAC has recently unveiled their new writing section, Argumentative Writing. This is the first major change to the writing section since 1982!

How does the new Argumentative Writing section differ from the old writing section, and how should you update your approach? Instructor Alex Jacobs will be leading a session later today to help you hone your LSAT writing skills with an in-class practice prompt.

This class is free to all users! You can register for the session here.

Hi! I'm about to do my first Prep Test in about a year using the new format. I'm looking at the sections and I see 3 LR and 1 RC. I thought on test day, I'd have 2 RC and 2 LR. Is this correct? I'm wondering if I should complete all 4 sections of the Prep Test or if there's a way for me to replace the 3rd LR section with a RC to be more similar to what will show up on test day. Can I please get some advice on how I should go about doing the Prep Test to best model what is going to happen on test day? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

there's a blog post on Tags: https://classic.7sage.com/new-lr-tags-in-7sage/

The question type analysis, for example, in Logical Reasoning contains such tags as Causal Reasoning (CausR) or NA (Necessary Assumption). Sometimes I can find the relevant syllabus sections to review and improve my understanding but sometimes I cannot. Could I get some help in trying to match Question Type Analysis weakness tags with the proper syllabus sections so I can more efficiently review please?

Also, I'm wondering if I'm simply missing a tool that already does this? That would filter down the syllabus to just my weaknesses?

EDIT: I do know that you can type "Drill" into https://classic.7sage.com/progress/ and see some of them, but I'm looking for more of an expansive and authoritative guide please.

Thank you kindly!

Just curious about people’s experience with score improvement between a cold diagnostic and their first practice test. I took an essentially cold diagnostic after completing only the foundations section of the curriculum. Did people who have done that see any score improvement on their first practice test right after completing the dedicated RC and LR curriculum sections? If so how much?

Or will improvement only come with practice tests and drilling? Any info is great just curious what others experiences were.

Hi! I just took the LSAT in September and am planning to retake the exam in November. I received my score and score band back, but was wondering if it was possible to see the questions we got wrong from the exam after taking it? I would love to review what I got wrong on the exam but haven't seen anything on my portal that would allow me to see my raw score and questions. Thanks for your help!

I am scheduled to take my first and hopefully last attempt at the LSAT tomorrow morning. I have been studying for two almost three months. My ambition is low and I will take anything 150+ lol. :)

Good luck to everyone else who is taking the test tomorrow! Hope you get whatever score you're aiming for.

And if for some reason you cannot make post like this, let me add a question. Should you study the day before your LSAT test?

~Tyler

Some people say only 20oz are allowed, but I only have 24oz and need water during the test. What do yall think?

Hi all! Is there anywhere/how I can print my custom study schedule?

Thanks in Advance
