Hi all, im just wondering if it is ok to take a week off from studying during my midterm and finals week at school. I cant study for a couple hrs for my tests as well as the lsat without having time to do nothing else. any advice would be welcome

I have been studying for about 8 months, with a very heavy emphasis for the last 3 months. I am beyond frustrated with my lack of improvement and inconsistency. Am I actually just dumb? I have placed a huge emphasis on BR recently, and will continue to do so. But it hasn't seemed to help. I hired a tutor, I have my fingers crossed that it helps but nothing else I have tried seems to. My first diagnostic was a 148 I believe, then I studied my ass off, my last PT before Feb LSAT was a 159 and I was feeling ok about it. Took the test and got a 153. Took another PT a few days ago and got a 155. My goal is to eventually get a 168-172 by next cycle and I am starting to feel like that is not viable for me anymore.

One of the hardest things for me is diagnosing what exactly my issue is. There have been times I will take a PT and get -4 LR, and then my very next test I will get my -11/12 LR. I know my games and RC need work which is the main reason I hired a tutor, but man LR is driving me nuts. I feel like I know what the question is asking, I understand the stimulus, and even in BR I am able to explain away the other answers that I didn't choose, only to find out that I chose incorrectly. Is it even possible for me to get a 160mid or above by the April/June LSAT barring an absolute miracle from God? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Just wanted to see any advice anyone may have. Thanks!

Hi, I have two different scores that I have seen for a preptest and just want to make sure I understand fully what is going on so I know how to proceed. On the first diagnostic I took, I got a 142 - what I see currently is a 135 as the score. I took a preptest two days ago and the score I received was a 148, after finishing blind review it was a 152. Now it shows up as a 140. I still had the tab open from when it was a 148. Just want to make sure what exactly is going on here and which one is my score. Thank you!

Hi all, it seems that posting on the discussion forum can be ineffective in terms of getting feedback, so i’ll try one more time: I’m working on the Valid and invalid argument forms part of the curriculum, and i’ve been struggling with the concepts but taking my time. Since I will be taking the test without LG, is it necessary for me to still put a big emphasis on it?

I am just getting started and created my study schedule. I am not seeing drilling/practice tests on there. Should we finish the study schedule curriculum before we get started on creating drills and taking practice tests?

And which one is most useful for being able to go back and find the ones I've marked...

I'm currently a 3L at one of the Canadian law schools (which I will keep anonymous) and was feeling anxious about the uncertainty of articling that lies ahead. I came back to 7sage to scroll to take gain some perspective and remind myself of where I started and to remind myself that things do work out and they will be okay. This rings true even for those in law school. However, I saw some forums that reminded me of how I felt when studying to get into law school and I hope my experience can help bring some encouragement to someone!

To provide some context, I was admitted into my current law school in 2021 but before that I studied for the LSAT for 4 years. I was working full-time (a typical eight hour job) and was studying full-time. I had almost given up since I had taken the LSAT almost 4 times (this was before the cap was reinstated). By the last attempt, I was so burnt out, bitter, annoyed, frustrated and just overall upset. I didn't want to study anymore and almost called it quits. Hearing about law school or even seeing TV shows about the law made me feel ill and just reminded me of how disappointed I was with my studying at that point. I will not sugarcoat it, studying for this exam was absolutely brutal and it's definitely not for the faint of heart. Given how fed up I was with this exam, I called it quits and essentially just did the last attempt for the sake of doing it (I had stopped studying for it weeks before and just started reviewing). Trust, even reviewing for this exam was like pulling teeth, my motivation was that dried out and tired. Funnily enough, that last attempt ended up being my best score (159) and I was so surprised. For myself, I realized part of the obstacle was me. I had borderline idolized this exam and it was only until I learned to ease my anxiety that I did better. The next three years were a whirlwind and I honestly am still in shock by the fact that they passed by so quickly. There's still so much that I need to learn and I still struggle at times to adopt a novice mindset.

I'm now graduating in a month. If someone had told me that I would be at this point in my life then I wouldn't have believed them. It's wild how life works. This is my long winded way of saying trust the process and put your best foot forward. If you tried, at least you can say that you did and it may or not bear fruit. Either way, you will be okay and you never know where life will take you. Don't give up b/c you've got this.

Hey 7Sagers,

Currently we feature a free Proctored PT event every week on Saturdays, such as this one from last Saturday.

Do you find these valuable? If you've attended one or more in the past, what did you like or dislike about it? If you haven't attended one, is there a particular reason (not held at a good time, doesn't sound useful, etc.)?

Any feedback is appreciated!

Saw a few people commenting on v2, how do I switch to that option?

I wanted to see if anyone would know if having migraines would allow me to receive accommodations on the LSAT. If so also what are the exact steps? I have looked on LSAC's website but the directions seem a little confusing.

How many drill Questions should I put into the auto drill builder, if we are to drill for an hour. I am specifically referring to Main Conclusion: Drill It and it says under this I should drill for an hour.

Hi everyone,

I just resubscribed to 7sage today. It said to purchase the prep plus program from Law Hub to access material. I purchased it. However, it still won't let me access the material such as videos. I think this is because I had 2 LSAC accounts and I might have linked this 7sage account with the other one that I did not purchase the prep program on. Is there a way to change the LSAC/LawHub account that is linked to this 7sage account?

or would I be able to transfer my membership to another account?

Just got a 151 on the February 2024 LSAT which was my goal and is good enough for the law schools I am applying to. After consuming 67 cans of Redbull original/tropical flavor. Waking up at 6 am and studying till 3 am for 5 months. My LSAT journey has officially come to an end. went from a 136 to a 151 so people out there still studying or taking the april LSAT. I know its going to suck but please dont give up you will get your goal score. From being pestered by parents constantly asking when Im going to apply to dealing with the LSAT, its finally ending. I will pray for all of you and hope you get your goal scores. This is Brandon signing off for the last time.

Thank you JY for everything.

Quick question, on the LSAT's past September do you think there will be two LR sections and 2 RC sections? Or do you think there will be 3 LR sections and 1 RC section? Because one of these is the experimental section but I'm trying to guess on how they're going to format it.

This is not directly related to LSAT but then at the same token, I believe it is because dealing is a big part of being a lawyer.

I always thought relationship is a deal; however, as I do more deals and deals, I believe this process is unending with the same "BS" people every time.

I am wondering what the logic is after the "deal."

What I am asking is if we have a logic behind our philosophy as "Relationship is deal"

Could we say "Dealing is bulldozing?"

It seems like there is a certain extent we have to agree to this deal even though it may be unfair. If that is the case, can we just bulldoze whoever and whatever -- institution, organization, people, one-man entity, family?

In the Art of the Deal by Donald Trump, he said we should be able to kick a family out if the tenant does not pay rent; however, if we read Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey pretty much states to not bulldoze a relationship.

Please offer your thought here. Thank you! (:

I feel like I complain all the time over this test. It's honestly exhausting. I have been studying officially since August. I used a different program, had live classes every Sunday and watched live lectures all the time. Did the modules and home work (although I admit I fell behind especially when work and family things came around) took several PT's and I haven't seemed to break into the 150 timed test. I moved over to 7Sage when my other program finished and I couldn't afford it. This program definitely emphasized practice and re-doing things especially with LG. When doing PT's here Im still in the 140s but in Blind Review Im at least reaching the mid 150's which is honestly where my goal was in the first place. I feel very lost on what to do. Im still working through the CC but my test is in April and after pushing it back several times before I just dont know how realistic it is to get my score to the 150's. I work full time and I devote my early mornings 7-9, late evenings 5- whenever Im tired , and all of my weekends either doing problems, watching videos and now taking PT's. Sometimes I get the material especially when I have time to break things down and really digest what I have read. But when Im in the time conditions I feel like I forget all the steps and skills I learned, I panic and my mind wanders during the test. I basically give up mid test when I feel like Im not doing well. Im not sure if I need testing accommodations or if Im really just not getting the material and Im just going to have to deal with the score I have. I have put in so much work , made (and still am) sacrifices and it's frustrating to see that it's not really showing the way I want it to. I feel like Im failing. This is only a snippet of my journey but I just need some practical advice at this point on what I could do.

When we take a 4-part test on 7SAGE and it calculates our score, does the platform automatically take the lower of the 2 LR scores, does it flip 50/50 between them, or does it already have one already programmed as the experimental?

Finding that my score falls a lot when I do poorly on one LR section but great on the other, which makes me think its automatically taking the lesser of the two LR sections.

Would love to have this clarified. Thanks!

I'm currently stuck between taking the June or April (or both) LSAT since I want to try and take them before the logic games goes away in August. In the beginning of February I took my first PT after finishing the core curriculum and scored a 147 and my BR score was a 154 (my cold diagnostic was a 139). I want to take the LSAT with the logic games because it's supposed to be the most learnable section. Since my last PT I have been drilling LG 6 times a week for 5-6 hours a day using the foolproof method for games 1-35 (also I am currently a student in my last semester of undergrad and I do not work so I am able to put in a good amount of hours towards studying for the LSAT). I would love to take the April and June LSAT so I can have 2 go's at it but I'm worried that the April LSAT might be too soon since I still have to drill for LR and RC as I am not prepared at all in those sections. My RC is a -15 and LR -13. Also, the fact that I have to PT before the exam date worries me since I would need time to take PT's as well and I'm assuming I'd need at least few weeks for that. I'm planning to apply for the 2025 cycle and want to apply anywhere from September - December. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? Should I even be considering the LSAT with LG or should I just be focusing on the other sections and plan to take it later without the LG? My goal score is 170, I know its high and probably unrealistic but I am willing to put in the work to get there. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello! Now that Lawhub released PTs for the August 2024 Admin Test Format, will 7Sage provide explanation videos for these PTs?

Hey all! I’m curious to see if others are running into a similar problem as I am. My PT Timed score is consistently about 12-14 points lower than my Blind Review score (~164-165 on the timed and 176-178 on the Blind Review). I understand that there is likely going to be a discrepancy, especially while still training that “muscle” — but is anyone else experiencing such a drastic difference between their Timed and Blind Review scores? Anecdotes, tips, and guidance would definitely be appreciated! Thank you in advance :-)

I need some major advice and opinions here. I started studying for the LSAT in January and have been putting in about 30+ hours a week on 7Sage. I did my diagnostic and got a 146, 152 BR, so nothing really great. I got through all of the LR content, with the exception of a few of the drills near the end (for the sake of time). I am just now starting LG and this is why I am now panicking. I fundamentally understand LG and with like 2-5 more mins I can get 100% on the games, obviously that is not helpful for the real timed exam. So I know if I can learn them fast I can get good at this section, but my issue is I am just barley starting. After doing a game over and over I can get a minute or two below the target time, but again I am a week into the games and this time drop isn't happening for games I see for the first time. I haven't done an RC yet. Another part of my worry. I have about 48 days until the April exam, which I want to take to give myself 2 LG exam attempts, and because I wanted to avoid taking the August exam, but now I just don't know how prepared I will be in April. I haven't taken any PT's since my diagnostic and that is definitely a stressor since I don't really know what I would be scoring around and I will likely only be able to fit in a couple of PTs and still won't be able to finish learning everything. I am a full time student and am involved on campus but I still am able to get about 30+ hours in, if I pushed my exam till June I would probably maintain this with the hopes of kinda mastering everything. I just am not sure if it is better to just send the April exam, I have score preview, and then can cancel if I bomb it, or if I should just push it till June, have more study time, and hopefully could score better on my first attempt? I just then am only getting one LG attempt. For April it gives more more attempts, but then I am worried if I feel horrible after/during the exam and stressed then it will make me feel more pressure to get it together on the June exam. Clearly this is really stressing my out and the days till the exam are flying by, so any advice/opinions would be appreciated!!!

Can anyone from 7Sage comment on when the reorganized PTs. which were just released on LawHub, will be brought to 7Sage?

#feedback 7sage might want to consider not letting free trial users post discussions or if they posts should be approved first. I've seen tons of spam posts about selling substances and offering strange services.

When solving, "Sequencing Game w/a Twist Problem Set 2," for example, I ended up solving these games multiple times. When I click view results, immediately after testing myself, it will show me the results that I just got. But when I exit out and come back and press view results, it shows me the results for my first attempt. Further, it will not allow me to page forward or backward with the arrows to look at the results for each of my other attempts.

I'm pretty sure I got this working correctly once. But not sure how...

I just got granted testing accommodations/ LSAC provided me with a letter— I am wondering if there is another step I am suppose to take (I'll be taking it in person in April)? Like do I just show up to the center with the letter, and they'll accommodate accordingly, or do I need to contact them ahead of time? I want to make sure that I have done everything for them to honor it/not sure what the next step is
