Hi all,
I started studying this summer with like 15-20 hours a week just doing core curriculum, no PT. I was really starting to improve. After I started taking PT, my scores were stuck at a 154. I am not sure if I should redo the complete curriculum because I have time, however, it has been immaculately frustrating as I worked my butt off this summer. I wasn't doing the read review method during my drills, and I'm not sure if that is why. Any suggestions?
For months, I had been scoring consistently relatively well on practice tests, taking two tests a week, but for the past two weeks I have been scoring about 5 points worse despite maintaining the same study practices. The other day I hit a score that was the same as my diagnostic test and today, even though I felt much better about it, was almost the same. I take the test in less than two weeks. What do I do?
I hit my goal score of 168 with a BR score of 174. I have only taken 5 PTs so far that have only trended upwards, previous PT score was a 160 with a BR score of 166. I understand I still have many weeks to keep studying but I do have midterms on the two weeks leading up. My anxiety for whatever reason is higher than ever, I don't have a real average of PT scores because I have only taken 5 PT that have only had upward trends after each. I do believe my ceiling is higher than what I scored but I want to make sure im consistent. My plan is to drill LR and RC for the first half of each week and take a PT at the end of each week, is this a good plan? Any tips for handling anxiety especially with my case? I really hope it was not a fluke.
How many level 5 questions are expected? How many level 1s? What is the general distribution?
Do the tougher questions appear at the later part of the test?
Hello everyone! (: I just finished Foundations -> Argument module and I want to quiz/test myself on what I learned. Is there a quiz or a tool on 7Sage that focuses on quizzing for the argument module?

Hello!
I have been PTing at 150 for the past 3 months despite studying an average of 4 hours a day drilling specific question types, doing sections of LR and RC and then blind reviewing every question and then inserting them into my wrong answer journal. Recently I took a completely untimed PT where I allowed myself to think through each question and didn't move on until I was 100% sure the AC I picked was correct. On that PT I scored the highest I've ever scored a 156, however I know I can do better, but I'm taking the October LSAT. It's clear that extra time would be extremely beneficial to me as especially with RC I need to take longer on the passages in order to understand what is being said.
Does anyone have any time strategy suggestions that can hopefully help me actually score closer to my potential by October? Or should I just accept that I will most likely score a 150 and retake it in January?
Thank you!
Does anyone know a good estimate of how long the writing sample takes to process? I took the September LSAT, and had a lot of unexpected things happen in the time following the test, hindering me from completing the writing sample. I am wondering how long it takes for the writing sample to process. Do you think if I take it tomorrow, Wednesday 9/18, it will process before the score release date for September?
As an international student from Ghana, I am having difficulties concentrating for more than an hour when taking PTs. I don't know how to resolve this, as I am registered to write the October LSAT and I don't feel prepared enough. If anyone here can help me with some useful tips on how to study better and maybe help me with study groups.
My time zone is GMT +00, I am available at any time and ready to put in the work to get my desired score please. Help a sister out ;(
I have 1.5x time accommodations for the LSAT. I took the LSAT test on paper with a scantron. I am scheduled to do the writing portion soon. I got scheduled for a paper and pencil writing exam. Obviously I would much rather type because it is way faster.
So my question is: Does having accommodations for the LSAT require me to taking the writing portion on paper, or do others with accommodations take it similar to lawhub style (typing)?

As someone with ADHD something I often run into is self doubt. It can be in any situation but for me schooling was a place it came up often. As the LSAT is a test designed to make even a confident person second guess themselves, how do people go about trying to study with a voice of self doubt in your head?
Basically just above, my end goal is low 170s so not a big difference but I'm having a hard time getting even 168 or 169. There's no pattern to my wrong answers so I'm just looking for advice from people who were in my position at one time.
I was following the version 1 curriculum until I got to the introduction to logic section which focuses on logic but is that for the logic games? Some people said to switch to the v2 curriculum but I do not know where to start with the version 2 curriculum. Can anyone help me or should I just start from the beginning and proceed?
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has gotten an accommodation letter for major anxiety (testing anxiety, panic disorder, etc.) and how your process went in getting the letter and LSAC accepting it? Was LSAC easy going with it or did you have to appeal at all/provide additional info? I've heard from some people that they prefer certain healthcare professionals to others.. not sure
DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK FOR TODAYS NOON CLASS? THIS IS MY 4TH CLASS AND STILL NOT ABLE TO GET IN, LIKE WHERE IS THE LINK, THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING
Why don't drills show up on the analytics page?
So I'm scoring consistently in the 160/161, with BR of 163, and a one-time score 164. While I'm glad that I am at least accurate in my scores, I'm not sure how to break through, and become better in those specific areas. I've been doing focused drills, but clearly it's not having an effect yet.
Any tips/advice on how to approach this in a different way?
Thanks!
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 and admissions consultant Jake Baska will be leading a session later today to introduce the new writing section. There will also be an in-class practice writing prompt.
This class is free to all users! You can register for the session here.
I feel like I should be doing practice questions as I go through the module. Does anyone have any insight or do you think the best way to do it is go through the course and do practice questions when they are given? And if you are doing practice questions along the way how are you putting them into your studying of the module. Thanks!
How many preptests do you need for the analytics page to be accurate?
Hey all! I'm definitely overthinking this - what room did you take your remote LSAT in? How picky are the proctors about room type? I plan to use a dining room with artwork on the walls, and two doorways with no doors on them. No one else will be home the day of my test. Is this allowed? There are windows, but they have blinds that can be shut.
I have completed 3 practice tests scoring mid 150s on the latest 2 and all my BR scores have been consistently around 165. There were clearly question types I needed work on which I did but after my latest practice test no pattern among wrong answers emerged. Most of my wrong answers when I do an analysis come down to the fact that I did not understand what I read. How do I improve upon this? Furthermore I'm looking to get my BR score to mid 170s before focusing on the timing of the test any tips on how to do that?
I am not getting any patterns in my wrong answer choices other than it is the hardest questions that I get wrong with a couple of mistakes on the easy ones. I am scoring 165 consistently on my BR, what should I do to improve this?
Hello Everyone,
I am new to 7Sage Lsat and would like to know how to use the program. I am currently registered to take the LSAT Test in November 2024.
I'd like to print Preptests to do blind reviews. How can I print in 7sage?
Need some studying tips on a short timeline.
I’m still going through the rest of the curriculum and then intend to bang out PT tests, but I am taking the LSAT in Oct and probably again in Nov. I’m consistently getting only 2-3 correct on these drills. In reviewing my wrong answers, I fully understand where I erred, but I also don’t have the time to master each of these drill sections (at least I don't think I do).
My current mindset is to try and get through this curriculum, then bang out those PT tests since PT test do not categorize difficulty and question types. I’m worried if I spend too long on the drilling, I will lose sight that the actual tests is completely random in the questions types and difficulties that are chosen.
Any thoughts here are helpful as I orient my studying these last 1-2 months. Thank ya all and good luck.
