My study journey began in January and I plan on taking the August LSAT. I spent the first two months going through the LR Bible and was doing well in the practice sections at the end of each chapter. Just recently, I finished the 7Sage CC and felt confident whenever I drilled at the end of each section. Due to my anxiety surrounding this exam, I've been procrastinating when it comes to taking an actual PT and decided to take a small step toward my goal by taking an untimed LR section using the 7sage drilling feature. To my dismay, I was unable to focus on any of the questions and had to re-read over and over again. To compound the issue, nothing was clicking or making sense and it felt like I was reading gibberish. I got 15 out of the 26 questions incorrect and I feel inherently stupid. I didn't even have the mental energy to blind review and at this point I'm questioning if I'm truly cut out for this. Am I just brain fatigued? Any encouragement is welcome.

When I make a mistake on logical reasoning, it seems to have to do with having misread something in the stimulus or answer choice. For example, reading "apples" instead of "some apples". There's a warning this has happened because none of the answer choices seem to make sense. The problem is when I go back to reread the passage and answers, I tend to make the same reading mistake again. However, when I reread the question the next day the mistake tends to be gone. Its almost like I'm temporarily stuck and I need to reboot somehow.

Has anyone experienced this and do you have any advice?

For those of you just starting out on your LSAT journey and looking for some direction on how to study (as well as those who've been studying for a bit already but want a quick "sanity check" on how you're going about it), I recently posted an article over on the blog that might be of interest:

How to Study for the LSAT: Advice from a 180-Scorer

If you're feeling like you've just been dropped into the middle of the deep, dark LSAT woods without a compass (and we've all been there at some point), consider this your orienteering field guide. In it, I share advice on how long to study for, what a good study plan looks like, how to build your weekly study schedule, and lots more.

If you have any questions or if there's something I didn't cover that you think I should have, drop a note here or below the article and let me know!

Do you guys take old practice tests timed? Like 1-50? How accurate are those? I'm doing 2 times practice tests per week and then reviewing. Is that a good idea?

I subscribed to LawHub Advantage yesterday and it is linked to my 7sage. However I still do not have access to the LawHub Advantage material, and I get a pop-up saying that I need to purchase it even though I already did. Do I need to link, and unlink the account? Please help!!

Recently, some users have been having difficulty connecting their accounts to LawHub Advantage. We're aware of this issue and are working behind the scenes on a fix! In the meantime, we can get your account back online if you get in touch with us.

stimulus :

"There can be a known known only if theres a known unknown, but there can never be an unknown unknown without a known unknown. Thus, every unknown unknown which is known is actually a known unknown which is unknown."

question : the conclusion above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?

the content of this question is inspired by the "Rumsfeld Matrix." What would be a sufficient assumption for this question? Is this a hard question or did you find it on the easier end of SA questions?

Hello,

I bought 7 sage a few days ago and I just purchased the lawhub subscription today but my 7sage says

"You successfully linked 7Sage to your LSAC account, however your LSAC account does not have an active LawHub Advantage subscription. Please purchase or renew LawHub Advantage on your LSAC account directly from LSAC by logging into lawhub.lsac.org, then tapping on your name in the top right corner, then “Upgrade to LawHub Advantage.”

Please let me know how to fix this so I can get studying.

What is the difference between the Drill and Problem Sets in the syllabus? For example, under Most Strongly Supported Questions, there is "Drill - MSS Questions" and 12 "Most Strongly Supported Problem Sets". They both seem to have 5 questions, but there is always one drill section and multiple problem set sections.

Also, does everyone get the same questions in the drills and problem sets? Or it's a random assortment of questions each time you take it?

i loved watching kevin on youtube, im glad he joined 7sage to do explanation videos

Hi All!

Not really sure where this goes, but I am wondering if there is any chance that the August 2024+ PTs will be loaded onto 7sage. I know that these sections are used from past LSATS, but I find it would be helpful when looking at analytics to be able to track that data.

Or even possibly have an option to create custom prep tests as I found out which sections correlate to which PT.

I had maintained a 4.0 GPA until I decided to switch my major to follow in my sister's footsteps into dentistry, aiming to make my parents proud. This decision, especially transitioning to a science major in my junior year, was extremely challenging due to my longstanding dislike for science. This struggle led to a severe Adderall addiction as I attempted to numb the reality of my situation, significantly impacting my grades during this incredibly difficult period where I was taking about seven classes, including science labs, simultaneously.

Additionally, I had to enroll in classes at different universities due to issues with attending classes properly while juggling a demanding schedule, including a dental assistant job from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, with an hour's drive to college and back every day. After realizing the extent of their pressure, my parents eventually agreed to support my ambition to pursue law, provided I steered clear of criminal law. However, my grades worsened in my senior year as I struggled to find myself again, having lost my identity amid these challenges. The experience of living through others' expectations severely affected me. Despite these hardships, my desire to become a lawyer, a dream I've harbored since childhood, remains strong. Yet, I'm concerned about how my past sacrifices might impact my future in law. My GPA eventually dropped to a 3.0, and I had to graduate months later due to the time required for my classes to transfer.

I need advice on how to explain that, although I failed classes at my home university, I performed well at other universities. Oddly, it seemed to be a mental challenge; my home university, initially chosen for its excellent law program, symbolized my dreams and passions. The disheartening experiences there made it difficult to appreciate the school or feel happy. This contrast in performance might be attributed to my perception of lost dreams at my home university, which is why I excelled in the same classes at different universities when I took them for a non-degree purpose.

I'm seeking guidance on how to articulate this complex journey in a GPA addendum, unsure of the best approach to take.

Hello! I am currently studying v2 and just noticed that there is an option to switch to v1. Can you please explain the difference between the two? I have signed up for the April 2024 exam. #help #admin

My home environment isn't a reliable place to take the test. I am considering taking at a testing center. Has anyone tried this? Do they provide the computer the test is administered on, or do I need to bring my own?

Hello,

It is saying that I do not have a Lawhub Subscription even though I did pay for the course.

Hey 7Sagers,

I'm happy to announce that we will be offering a new round of LSAT classes this April and May! In addition to the in-person courses we've been running, we will now also be offering virtual courses and weekend workshops.

Each class is led by a top-scoring 7Sage instructor and offers a chance to build community with fellow aspiring lawyers. All of our 12-week courses come with a free three months of 7Sage Core + Live so that you can take advantage of all our digital resources alongside the class's custom program.

The virtual classes are a new option for 7Sagers outside our in-person cities or who prefer a virtual environment. They also include the three-month subscription and follow the same curriculum as their in-person counterparts.

Is your test date fast approaching and one particular section is still holding you back? Give one of our short weekend workshops a try! These two-day classes are section-specific and designed to help breakthrough a plateau on a short timeline.

What exactly is the differnence between using a prep test for drilling vs. prep?

Hi all! I have no friends who are taking the LSAT and I just need some advice. I have not taken the LSAT before and I signed up for the April exam. I've been studying since January and I am hoping to get a 171. My practice scores have varied a lot. From the last two weeks, my l were 173, 169, 166, 170, 169. I have about a month before the April test and from my understanding I need to be scoring around a 174 on my practice tests if I want a 171 on test day. Do I have time? How did you all make the final push? I have gotten my RC down to -3 or -4, my LR to -4 or -5, and my LG to around -3. I often find myself running out of time on LG and RC and making stupid mistakes on LR.

I'm a non-trad student (27, still in undergrad because I took several years off due to certain life circumstances) and I work Friday-Sunday in healthcare (pharmacy tech), and I do not truly have any days off. During law school, I plan to quit working, but I'm not able to yet. I just feel like I don't have any time to get much LSAT studying in between working, my classes, and sleeping. My highest PT score is 151, and although I know that isn't horrible, I want better so I can get scholarships and in top 50 school if possible. My CAS GPA is going to be poor because my freshman year, my dad died and I quit going to class for a while and failed 3 classes, but I have done really well since I went back, mostly As and a couple Bs. So, I have to get a good LSAT. Anyone have any tips how to squeeze in some LSAT studying while working and school?

Hey guys! I'm from a non-English speaking country and my first diagnostic test was 142. The major problem is that I cannot finish the test with such a short period of time. I've already received an LLB from my home country and it's totally possible for me to do lsat well in my first language. So English vocabulary seems like the biggest barrier for me. I'm kindly inquiring are there any ways to increase my vocabulary in 6 months and is it possible for me to get a 160+ last eventually?

I haven't noticed any office hours recently. Are those coming back any time?

Attached is the link for those taking the August LSAT and beyond!

They haven't sent out the email to register for the exact date/time/location for the April 2024 test right? Also, when they do send it out, is it a rush to claim a spot or do they generally have enough spots available at in person testing sites. I have a pen and paper accommodation and am required to take it in person because of this, so I just want to make sure I will be able to get a location within driving distance lol.

I'v received a notification that I needed to renew my LSAC LawHub Advantage subscription in about a week. I repurchased the subscription today and am still seeing the notification. Is there anything else I can do to make sure LSAC account and 7sage accounts are linked? Or is this a lag?
