im trying to understand why it is such that after a while of scoring in the same range on a section or the entire test, all of a sudden it just all "clicks" and makes sense. like for the longest time ive consistently been struggling with the Logical Reasoning section and no matter how hard i tried i was routinely scored single digits, double digits if im lucky. Now when i do a LR section i can not only score 17-18 consistently, but when im reading questions and looking for answer choices i can notice an answer choice and (mentally) go "yup, thats the right answer" without hesitation or self doubt. This little phenomena i find to be perplexing because it wasnt like i was studying even more, or revising. i just stopped studying all together for a month and a half (i know i shouldnt have, with the lsat coming up), and now got back to it. im sure some of y'all have experienced something similar so what do y'all think it happens like that?

To relieve some Pre-September test tension and anxiety, I thought it might be fun to predict what we think some of the topics may be for Reading Comprehension. It'd be fun to go back after and see if anyone actually got it right.

I'm going to go ahead and suggest "human population/migration patterns" as a potential topic.

What do you think are cons and pros applying early decision? Also, can I apply early decision to a couple of schools? Like apply to those which are very unlikely to get me accepted and one that is somewhere in a middle?

Y'all,

I'm being super-efficient at procrastinating right now, and am wondering if anyone had any thoughts regarding how successful introverted/quiet personality types would be at law school. I am an abysmal public speaker (working on it, but still really bad!), and have a mild stutter that always makes its unwelcome presence known whenever I'm stressed, angry or tired. Would I succeed at law school, or would every day be an uphill battle?

Thanks in advance, fam!

Hi All,

Just to provide some background information, I have been studying for about 5 months now, both on my own (using Powerscore trilogy and 7sage) and have recently completed a 3 months in-person LSAT course in the city I'm in. When I first started studying I got about 9 questions wrong for an LR section (untimed) and slowly improved to getting 5-7 questions wrong under timed conditions. I thought I was finally on the right track and was looking forward to seeing more improvements until when I recently started getting more questions wrong than I initially started (12-14 questions wrong both under timed and untimed conditions)... I realized that usually when I go back to the questions I got wrong, the correct AC was one of the last two AC's that I was contemplating between before I chose the wrong one if that's any good sign.

I am watching the videos on 7sage again as well as reviewing questions I got wrong but feel quite defeated at this point. I have postponed my September exam to December (thank God!) and am really hoping to get a great score (170+) in Dec. I've been really careful not to burn too many questions but at this point I'm thinking maybe I should go back to early exams (PT 7 to 18) and take as much questions as possible to solidify my understanding of all the core principles. My question is, should I go through the LR sections as an entire section or drill them by question types? Also, is there anything else you guys recommend me do for the month of September? Really appreciate your help in advance!

I was just wondering what do you guys consistently score on LR?

Hey guys! If you're taking the September LSAT and your account is inconveniently set to expire a few days before the test date, just email me (dillon@7sage.com) and I'll extend your account for free through the September test. (Make sure you include your 7Sage email!)

For those of you who are expiring after, good luck on the LSAT! We here at 7Sage are rooting for you.

I am having trouble trying to narrow down the person I should ask to write me a second letter of recommendation. I already have a professor who has taught me for three years. However, I have been volunteering at a homeless shelter/soup kitchen on a monthly basis for a year and the manager offered to write me a letter. Moreover, this summer I worked for the government (employment and social services) in an office and my supervisor had also offered to write me a letter (I've only known her for 4 months). Finally, I've worked at my father's law firm for four summers but I think asking his partner for a letter would look a little sketch seeing my last name on the letter. I can't decide who can possibly write me a stronger letter or who is the better choice?

Does anyone know if OLSAS keep letters of recommendations on file for an extended period of time? I am wondering this because I applied a couple of years ago and I'm reapplying this year. If they keep letters on file, then i won't need to ask my professors again

When I look at a potential study schedule, it lists various preptests. Are these included in the initial price?

These preptests that are listed; I assume that are a review is covered in the price of the ones that are actually listed, correct?

I am determined to get a 169+ on the LSAT and I am consistently scoring around 164-165. My very first score without studying was 147 so I have come a long way in the last 4 months (hardcore been studying for past 2). My last score was 165 but due to running out of time on one section, otherwise I would've pulled out a 169 or more. I am taking the September 24th LSAT and don't tell em to postpone because A. I can't anymore, B. I am going for this test. I need advice on how to break through this plateau and improve. Logic games I usually miss anywhere from 0-3 at the very most. Logical reasoning can be anywhere from 0-7 most of the time I miss like 2 in an early LR section and the later section I miss more. And then reading comp varies since if I understand a passage I can pull out missing zero but if its a hard passage I can miss in total anywhere from 2-8. I need a 169 or above and I want to hear from people who increased their score within 3 weeks. I am studying every single day for several hours a day. Any tips would be nice.

Hi everyone,

I have an opinion question for people who may be in my position and already spoken to admissions teams about this topic.

I have an undergrad GPA of 2.8 from a state school-I did not take school very seriously and was working full time while going. Anyways, I graduated in 2011 and have since been to school again for a MA in education, with a GPA of 3.9. My PT LSAT scores are coming in around 158-165 depending on the day.

Does anyone have opinions on trying for T15 schools or going for a state school with a good local network? I have a small daughter as well so being somewhere cheaper/more scholarships would be helpful. Most T15 schools seem to have VERY high cost of living. Is anyone else relying on grad GPA for admission? Thanks!

I was curious to know if anyone has taken the C2 test and what they thought about its difficulty.

I've been starring explanations that I would want to rewatch from various tests and assumed I'd be able to filter for them. But when I went to the question table, I see that we filter by the flag icon? and the videos that I had starred aren't pulling in. Any one know a work around?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to decide where to register for the LSAT.

These are the options:

College of Alameda

Marriott Walnut Creek

Samuel Meritt Health Center

Of the three I'm leaning towards College of Alameda because of the desk space but I'm concerned about the noise level. Almost all the reviews were great but one person wrote that he could hear the planes flying overhead from the airport. I feel like that would distract me.

If anyone had taken at any of these locations, please let me know what you think!!

Hey guys,

I am registered for the September LSAT and 7sage recommends i take preptest 39-44 before test day. I've done 36, 37 and 38 so far (timed). I'm wondering if I should take the 6 most recent preptests timed since the newer ones can be different from the older tests and no one wants surprises on test day.... if i follow 7sage recommendations, i would be oblivious to the new tests. Do preptests change dramatically enough for me to worry about this problem? Any advice? Thanks in advance.

I was thinking about saving 3 (49, 77 and 78), but I am well within my scoring range and don't know if, because of that, I should use them. Just looking for some input. Thanks!

Hi, what is OPA JY is talking about in passage explanations?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Whenever I'm conducting a blind review on logical reasoning I always find that at the end of the test I've circled anywhere from 12-17 questions for review per section. I am usually scoring in the high 160s but I feel like this is too many questions to not be 100% sure about. Has anyone else found this?

Also do people do a blind review of LG and RC the same way? Usually I end us just redoing those entire sections for practise.

Hello,

I really liked the RC explanations, and just wondering do you have explanations for RC only?

Like, for the newest 10 PTs or something like that?

Thanks!

So, I just did timed pt and scored 16/24 on logic games (ran out of time on the 1st question of the last game). Do you think if i print the games from pt 1-35 and just drill them until I get them right under time conditions it will improve my score? Will 35 tests be enough? Ideally, obviously, I would like to get them all correct. Though being realistic about my skills, I am aiming to get 22/24 on the actual day.

So... my question is whether I'm making the right decision by taking the September LSAT. I have a 3.8 GPA and I'm aiming for a 164-166 on the LSAT... Now, from the last 5 PT's, I've scored 161 twice, 164 twice and a 162. I've noticed that on days where I wake up feeling really good, I end up getting a 164, which makes me feel like I'm literally RIGHT there at around a 164-166 range. The issue is that i'd wanna hit the score a few more times before test date so i can go in confidently. (Which can still happen given that i have a couple more weeks.) Another thing is that if I do miss my target score by a couple points, I can take it again in December with a bit more improvement so I'd have two tries at it. Anyway, i feel like this post is all over the place lol. What do you guys think? (I also want to take the test earlier so i can submit my apps earlier, which would give me an advantage in the application process.) I'd appreciate any feedback.

How many letters of recommendation is good? 2? 3?

I was just reviewing the comparative passage video by JY for PT 75 and had never encountered the approach of doing questions after passage A and then doing them again after passage B. Does anyone know where on 7sage I can find more about that strategy. I feel like I missed it somewhere. Do other 7sagers like this strategy/find it helpful? It seems like it would take extra time and I struggle with time on RC as it is. But perhaps it is like splitting game boards on LG where you make up the time on the questions?
