hi! as the title indicates, i've done 3 PTs and went from a 166 to a 173, and then back down to a 167. i know studying more doesn't guarantee higher scores, but i was disappointed because i felt like i was on the up-and-up, lmao!

from your experience studying, what is this kind of fluctuation indicative of? and do you have any tips for scoring consistently at your target? i really appreciate any insight, i'm getting a bit in my head about this so i imagine being grounded by the community would be helpful!

Hello!

I recently took PT138 from the August 2024 and later tab and noticed an LR section completely overlapped with one I had taken with a logic game (PT60). Assuming the new tests are randomly distributing an experimental RC or LR section to keep the test at 4 sections, is there is any way we can block or substitute the extra section if we already took it?

(i.e. PT138 pulls three sections from the Dec 2012 exam and 1 from June 2010 (which in this case I already took); can we substitute that June one with a section from a different exam or just block it entirely?)

I started a masters degree program prior and finished about 60% of the degree, including a graduate certificate, with a 4.0 grade average. However, I quit and didn't finish the program about two years ago. I'm wondering if law schools will look at this negatively in the application process since they will get my transcript and see that I didn't finish this degree? Schools generally seem to allow supplemental essays to explain things like this, should I be including that in my application? There were many reasons I quit, mainly that I decided that career path wasn't for me after all (it was a masters in economics program, and I decided I didn't want to be in a math and computer coding heavy career).

Should I be doing PTs throughout doing the curriculum or just be doing drills and wait until I have finished all the curriculum and learned the question types before starting to PT. I don't want to be wasting time or resources doing PTs if it doesnt make sense to do them until ive finished the curriculum, or should I still be doing them regardless

Hello,

I currently have a problem where my computer lags when I do the drill sets, and it often freezes for a minute or so. I think it's because there are so many comments that it has trouble processing it. I already tried clearing the cache and cookies, and it didn't work. I'm wondering if there's a way for me to minimize the comments or collapse it momentarily so I can finish the drill sets. Thanks

Have you ever found yourself grappling with a complex idea, struggling to understand its intricacies? Whether you're a student tackling a difficult subject or a professional trying to grasp a new concept, simplifying complex ideas can be a game-changer. Fortunately, there's a systematic approach you can follow to break down even the most intricate concepts into manageable chunks. In this article, we'll explore a four-step guide to simplifying complex concepts effectively.

Step 1: Grasp the Core Idea

Every complex concept has a core idea at its heart. Your first task is to identify and understand this central concept. Start by breaking down the concept into its simplest form. What is it trying to explain or convey? What problem does it solve? Once you grasp the core idea, you'll have a solid foundation to build upon.

Every time I go to the preptest section all that comes up is a list of the tests, and when I click on one it only shows me the answer/bubble document but not the actual questions. I am just getting started. Do I need to purchase the course then i will have access? Is there a seperate tab i need to have opened while taking the pretests. I am just a little confused.

I will be taking the LSAT in August/September of 2024 so it will not include the logic games sections. I am wondering if there is any content in the syllabus that only pertains to logic games that I should skip. Or is it still worth going over? I have not study logic games before nor am I interested in doing so. If anyone knows let me know! I want to focus my studying on LR and RC!

Hi guys!

I just wanted to know if I can receive accommodation during the LSAT. I am going through surgery soon in July and would like to take the LSAT in august. I would like to have some extra time to finish this exam.

Has anyone gone through a similar situation? What documentation would I need to submit? What are the chances that I will receive this accommodation?

Thanks!

Recently, some students have been having trouble connecting their 7Sage accounts to LawHub Advantage. You may see a message on the Syllabus page that says, "Sorry, your account failed to connect with LSAC."

I have been looking at the LSAT for many months probably couple years on and off due to work, etc. It still takes me half a day to complete one LR section and I still get -8 wrong. I don’t intend to stop studying though. I feel like a turtle in the race. Thank you for reading.

Over the course of using 7Sage, I sometimes get headaches and eye fatigue from staring at the bright white layout for long periods of time. Today I got that same eye fatigue and headache and decided to see if 7Sage has a nightmode, and they do! Great! I turned it on and to my disappointment it's just inverted colors and... it's really bad.

First, everything is inverted, and it just looks bad. The color scheme is now elementary school Halloween party, and with profile pictures (and all pictures) being inverted, as another user with my complaint said https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/34156 , gives off paranormal horror film vibes. Scary! Also the results page for drills and prep tests is a complete eyesore. The entire site turns from pretty to ugly :(

The other user I linked to mentioned that there are some problems in the lesson and explanation videos because of the inversion, like when pictures are brought up or when colors are used and referenced. I don't know how that could be fixed other than rerecording each lesson in nightmode (lol,) but out of the hours of videos on the site, those specific issues are so few and far between it's not really an issue to me.

There are also some visual problems not entirely related to aesthetics. The most glaring is the highlight function on drills and prep tests. I like to use all three highlighter colors on reading comprehension, but nightmode's inversion makes the yellow and orange practically indistinguishable. The current nightmode also puts more strain on the eyes. The inversion of everything makes the color scheme visually hard on the eyeballs, and some things are just crazy bright, like the bright orange at the bottom of the screen. Some buttons are harder to read and find, especially when it's a dark orange or dark gray on black. The pitch black background (as opposed to a grayscale design) contributes to the visual fatigue as well. White text on the black background creates a high contrast making everything slightly harder to read.

Currently, nightmode does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do! I, and I assume many other users, would really enjoy a more visually comfortable studying experience! Please make an update!

Thanx for reading :)))

I just began the 7Sage curriculum and want to take a diagnostic test to identify my starting point. I plan on taking the test post August 2024. Is there a test that I should take or do I just pick one? I figure I should start with the older ones now and save the most recent tests for later?

I subscribed to the LawHub Advantage this morning after linking with my 7sage account and for some reason it is not recognising the fact that is has linked and I'm not sure why. What can I do to fix this??

Hello!

I've recently started to use 7sage to study for the LSAT. Im a rising junior in undergrad and do not know where to start. I plan on taking the LSAT sometime in the winter of 2024/25. I am also a first-gen student, so I feel like I have no guidance. I have read up on many LSAT reddit posts, but I am unsure if I should be "doing more" with studying. As of now, my current plan is to study for the whole summer and try to fit it into my academic schedule in the fall. How often should I be doing drills and prep tests? I am currently going through the foundations portion of the syllabus.

Anything helps!

Thank you :)
