Hey guys. I am starting to feel really defeated when it comes to this test. I am doing amazing on the you try its when I was going though the core curriculum and its just getting my timing down for that. I keep seeing just keep drilling and your speed will get better. However, whenever I take a PrepTest, I am BOMBING them. I seem to get more questions wrong and my timing is horrible. I have no idea how I'm supposed to jump a minimum of 10-15 points by October. I have been studying for 4 months now and I have only improved 9 points. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I feel like I'm seeing law school slip through my hands and its crushing me.

I keep getting this message while I was going through my lessons. I tried everything to get it to work but nothing changes. Is this still happening to anyone else ? Very inconvenient.

I started studying for the LSAT in June, and I plan to take the test in September. I spent the first month learning the core curriculum and then spent the first half of the second month doing some untimed sections and the second half doing a full timed PT a day as well as BR and going over the wrong answers. My scores keep going up and down, but I don't see an overall drastic improvment from my diagnostic. My average score as of now is a 145-146, and I'm trying to find a way to get that up, but not sure how to do it with only one month left until I take the LSAT. Any tips or advice? Would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, as I was studying the syllabus today I tried to move on to the next section and received a "404 error page not found." I tried to select another section of the module to see if it would work but the same error occurred, I cannot access any of the material. Is the site down for anyone else?

Hey everyone! Many users are encountering errors on our site today. We're aware of the issue and are hard at work on a fix right now. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you to everyone who has brought this to our attention!

Edit at 11:45 AM EST: And we're back up and running, folks!

Hello, I know many of us have the error 404 message and its highly inconvenient. Hopefully the IT technicians can fix this, I was really looking forward to drilling right now as I know many people were also in the mood to study.

Hello,

Whenever I try to open a page regarding any syllabus lectures, it shows Error 404. I have restarted my laptop, logged in and out, and closed and tried to open it.

Please advise on how to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

While accessing the materials the site crashed and displays a 404 Error. I know this had previously happened a few months ago. I'm not sure what happened and what I should do to expedite the fix.

Thought I would share my story, if it's helpful to anyone, of how I navigated the LSAT and transferred into Georgetown.

I took the LSAT in Nov 2022 and scored a 158. I retook the LSAT in Jan 2023 and got a 163. Everything is relative, but at the time I was really disappointed (I hoped to break 170.)

I applied to law school but regularly debated delaying and reapplying the following year with higher scores. I applied and got a number of offers, including Davis, and got amazing scholarships from UC Hastings (UC Law SF), Brooklyn U, and a full ride at Seattle U. I took the advice of 7Sagers and was able to negotiate up these amazing scholarship offers. I, ultimately, accepted the offer at UC Hastings where I now pay 1/4 tuition. I knew in my heart that I'd be a better law student than a logic game player. I could have delayed another year, been a year older, and still not gotten the 170. I chose to start school.

How'd it go? I really enjoy law school. Seriously, I do. And I did pretty well in my classes (I ended approx. 30-40/400 students) despite a vicious curve. I also made great friends, worked really hard, and learned a lot. Despite the scare tactics, you don't need a 4.0 to transfer. My GPA was enough to transfer into Georgetown Law.

UC Law SF is interesting. Happy to speak with folks about it. The curve and conditional scholarships make it a very competitive place. The professors have been excellent, but the community is lacking. One of the biggest bummers for me is that in this fascinating, polarizing, confusing time in the law, you'd never know it from my school's events. Very few speakers or symposiums -- makes you feel like you're in a bubble, not the academic heart of it all. The new law building (333) is beautiful though and SF is an amazing city.

As I see it, I was able to secure two great options: a generous scholly at UC Law SF or a discounted Georgetown diploma (basically, 1 year "free"). So if you can't get your LSAT score where you want it, there still is hope that you can get where you want to go. I really think, in retrospect, there is value in just going. It's always possible you'll love your non-T14 school and also possible you'll hate law school so figuring that out sooner is helpful. I also think there is a misconception that transferring is really hard/impossible.

All of that is to say, I remember the panic and futility of not being able to get my score where I wanted it. Don't forget your "score" is not your identity, and it doesn't fully predict how well you'll do at law school or where you'll end up.

I have been heavily studying for the LdSAT for about 2 weeks now. I have watched part of the videos of the foundations and parts of other important info. After that I have been focusing on drilling. My plan currently: I am just doing drills along with blind reviewing and watching the videos per question I get wrong or right. 5 questions per question type. I start at the medium difficultly until I get at least 4/5 correct, then I increase the difficultly and will start doing prep tests when I feel comfortably with each question type for LR and RC. I was wondering if this plan is good. Is there anything I should add or change.

Also I am focusing the first month on not worrying about timing and then will starting timing my drills when I feel ready. Any advice on when I should start timing myself per drill?

So I just took PT 132 (new format) and I am frustrated because I recognized almost all of the LR questions either from drills or JY's video lessons. It is my understanding that these "new" tests are just sections from old tests put together for the sake of practicing the new format, but these are the same old tests that 7sage pulls from for lessons. Obviously you cannot preview the test before starting it, and I want to know that the test I will be taking is entirely new beforehand since I feel like that test is now entirely useless in assessing my score.

Is there any way to know which of these new tests are actually comprised of all clean questions? Has 7sage looked into this and created a way to avoid this issue? Has anyone else experienced this and found a way around it?

I was wondering if there was a way to take a 3-section test similar to the one they offered with the last format. I essentially just want to take a PT with RC LR LR, just complements my studying style better

Ahead of sitting the LSAT at a testing center on the August test date, and it seems that the argumentative writing section is exclusively conducted online. The best I can do currently is a long office, with a blackboard, and then two large bookcases with boxes piled in front of them relegated to the far corner of the room. Does it seem likely that this room will be acceptable? Might I have to cover the bookcases?

Is there any way to do an environment scan in advance to determine if the room is likely to be acceptable?

My highest score so far has been a 169, and I just got a 176 on my most recent practice test. I'm not sure whether I should trust such a dramatic jump but I'm excited to see what happens from here! It feels like all of the work I've put in is finally starting to pay off!!

I have been studying on and off for the LSAT since January but have really started studying in May. I am registered for the August LSAT but I want to cancel since I am not close to my goal score. My BR is closer to my goal but I struggle a lot with timing.

However, I didn't know if it would be beneficial to take the test to get a feel for what its like to be in the testing center. I know you can score preview and cancel. But I'm not sure how admissions officers view cancellations. I plan to take again in September and then October if needed. I am applying this cycle and now I feel like I am behind. Any advice or help?

I'm taking the September 2024 test in-person, on paper, and was wondering if I was allowed to bring highlighters? I have been using Bailey's highlighting strategies for reading comp and wanted to know if I should be prepared to not be able to do that on the actual exam???
