I know it may not be much, but I finally broke an LSAT barrier and scored in the 150's 150 and BR 157! Again, I know it's nothing amazing and very mediocre for many people, but considering all of my prior PT's had been 144 and below, I'm glad I finally got into the 150's haha.

I'm preparing for the June exam and kept telling myself I better break into the 150's soon if not my confidence and motivation was just gonna be horrible. Really motivated to study now and reach my goal of +160 by June. Thank you to all the awesome people here at 7Sage!

Back in November I eagerly signed up for the February administration (let's be real, I had wanted to take in December, but life got in the way of studying properly). Plenty of time to get ready, and worst case I would just postpone to June.

Well, the last day to change your test date from February is here, and now the "worst case" that I thought wouldn't come to fruition has. Here's why I'm postponing to June:

I'm not ready.

I've taken three PTs total, including my diagnostic. My last PT was in December, and I scored 11 points higher than my diagnostic. But both my actual score and my BR score are not at my target score. There is still room to move up. And I haven't even touched any of the PTs in the 70s yet.

I just finished the core curriculum last week. I need more than just three weeks of PTing to ensure I'm at my target score. It's just not an adequate amount of time to really understand and fix my weaknesses in LR and RC post-CC.

I haven't really mastered LG yet. I'm getting better and still getting them all correct, but my timing still isn't where it should be.

I'm not really exciting about postponing

I really wanted to be one-and-done in February. I'm out another $90 bucks. But I know it's going to be worth it (plus I'd be out $180 if I had waited until early February to decide I wasn't ready). And yeah, I'm a little nervous about waiting all the way until June. What if I burn out in between now and then, what if I peak months before June and then have a decline? Is taking the test at noon on a Monday going to be worse than taking it on a Saturday morning?

But I figure a lot of us are in this same boat. So I'm making the switch!

Hi guys!

I hope to finish the curriculum in approximately 9 weeks in March. I plan to take 1 Pt a week and bump it to 2 PT with the 7SAGE group calls once I get a grip on my schedule.

What PTs should I take?

So far, my study plan says PT 36-44 and I know I need to be taking more recent exams. Does anyone have a similar study time who could give me their insight and plans? Also, should I upgrade I have the Starter, LOVE IT, thoughts?

Also, would it be too soon to start taking PTs maybe in my 6th or 7th week of curriculum?

I have done Blueprint which I loved, but 7SAGE matches my learning style and really brings all the logic concepts full circle.

Thank you!

I know it will differ for each person, but I usually hear the norm is around 30+. I'm just wondering if this is your case as well?

I was scheduled for the December test but I had to push it for June. My study partner took it December test, and pretty much not around anymore. I am done with the curriculum, except I am reviewing LR & LG. I am planning to take two tests a week starting Feb 20. I am free during the weekday. Ideal schedule will be

M-F. 10-2 and Saturday and Sunday i am open to meet morning or afternoon. As a matter a fact I am studying with 2 people on the weekend, just looking for someone during the weekday but you are welcome to join us on the weekend. I am on the upper east side. But I can meet any where else in the city and I drive so I am open for a little drive during the weekend. Thanks looking forward to hearing from you.

Hey all,

I will be taking the JUNE 2017 LSAT and I have just recently began studying . I live in Yonkers, NY but work in the city on the upper west side. I would prefer coffee shops anything after 3pm but am flexible for earlier. I would prefer someone at my level. I took a PT and my diagnostic was 149 :(. I Also drive so I don't mind traveling if you're in westchester or even NJ. I am using the trainer, bibles + manhattan books too.

hey guys,

after studying for about a month in september last year and a gap of more than 3 months, i have jumpstarted the core curriculum all over again. i am an ESL student but don't find it so difficult to read and write complex english. i was thinking about preparing for the exam for about 8 months and finally giving it in the month of september this year, the only thing that is bothering me is that when i read it in the discussion forum that most of the successful people in this community had prepared for at least a year or so before giving their respective exams, it makes me ponder upon as to what would be an ideal amount of time for me to prepare for the exam. i am open to any suggestions.

also the december 2017 exam will be the last option for me to be considered for the admission cycle of fall 2018.

Hello ,

i no this has probably been beaten to death on this forum.. but i was wondering if backing out of the February administration will count as a take?

were only a few weeks out and im still 7 points off my goal score. although im not giving up , i was just wondering what my options where if i decide to reapply to schools for the next cycle ( official LSAT 150 , 151av on PT, 153 highest).

thanks

Hey guys!

Ok so... I wrote in December and I actually went from a really low diagnostic of 144 to 160 (YAY) but I know I can do better and have been averaging higher so I'm writing again in February. Because I wrote it recently, I focused a lot on the modern LSATs and took every preptest from 50-79. I'm focusing on my shitty areas and have been doing prep tests as well, but because I've done most of the modern ones I was working on the 30s and 40s, and I don't know how useful that is. For the last few weeks here, do you guys think I should just retake some of the more modern ones that I have already done and BR those...or attempt old ones that I've never done?

Thanks for all the help guys, couldn't have improved so much without 7sage!

quick question regarding study scheduling: I began studying for Logic Games this past fall, then took the month of December off because I thought my schedule was going to change and force me to take the LSAT in Sept 2017 instead of my initially intended June 2017 test date. I am now, however, back to the June 2017 plan. Would you all suggest that I start over from scratch or more briefly review the LG's and push on? thank you!!!

Hi all, I've been studying on and off for the LSAT here and the biggest challenge I've run across is improving my speed. I do okay with accuracy on both LR and RC but can't seem to do it fast enough. Any tips? Thanks mucho!

Today is last day to withdraw officially.

My understanding is if i don't withdraw today but withdraw later by (i think) Jan 31 i will still save my 1/3 attempts. Is my understanding correct? If i don't withdraw today, will i lose my attempt?

I want to see how much better i can get before i withdraw. Do not care about wasted money but absolutely don't want to waste an attempt.

Should I apply this cycle? Or should I wait till the next cycle and/or re-take.

Does anyone know when JY will be hosting the next blind review session?

Hey everyone, hope studying is going well. I am writing this thread to seek some insight on my situation.

I've been studying since June. I plan to sit for February and I have for the most part been consistent with my studies. I have also seen my score improve 19 points since June (albeit I have only hit that score once, a more telling increase I would say is about 14 points). But unfortunately, I have realized that as test day looms closer and closer I am finding it increasingly difficult to remain at the level of consistency with my studies that I have had for the past 7 months going on 7 and a half.

Lately I'll sit down with my regular routine and start to study and I just cannot stop thinking about how "over this" I am. Like today, I sat down to BR these 2 RC sections I should've BR'd like about 3-4 days ago but kept putting off (to do other sorts of LSAT practice which I also had to rally up the motivation to do) and just thought "I really don't feel like doing this right now."

So I guess my question is, is there any advice on how to get back into a good mental space as game day approaches and get back to a nice level of consistency? I'd like to add that I don't really know if it's burnout because I do always take one day off a week(but for these past couple weeks it's been a little more due to issues described above). Any advice is greatly appreciated.

So I just got my December LSAT results back, and as expected, I didn't do very well (155), I knew right after that exam that it hadn't gone great. I choked on the logic games section, and underperformed on the LR. I need some advice on whether I should take the February one, or wait until June... Essentially my situation is as follows:

I am from Canada, and my GPA is slightly lower than the median for most people applying to law schools here. The average applicant has an A- average which is 80-83% (with a 162 LSAT), mine is a B+ 77%, or so (differs from school to school but this is just a snapshot). This isn't from lack of ability (I got straight A's my final year of university), just lack of focus or motivation my first few years. I already paid for a handful of applications for this coming admission cycle and obviously would like to go somewhere but I am not sure if I should put myself through 1 month of extreme stress with a large chance of not getting a high LSAT mark (163-165) I currently need (and blowing another LSAT write). From what I have learned in JY's course, crushing the LSAT is a habitual process that most people get to from months and months of constant repetition and practice. I put in a couple months of full time studying but clearly that wasn't enough.

A handful of people have recommended that I register for classes at the university I graduated from as an unclassified student and take a year of classes that I am interested in (I am a huge history/politics buff) to bring up my GPA. On average, Canadian law schools tend to weigh GPA slightly higher than the LSAT. I shot myself in the foot by not becoming absolutely stellar at LG's, I was averaging 16/23 on the 8 PT's I took before my actual write. Assuming I did well in all these classes, It would alleviate some LSAT pressure.

The only downsides to waiting until June is that I wasted $800 on applications since February's LSAT is the last score accepted for admission in Fall 2017, and I delay my law school aspirations a bit (I am currently 26 years old).

Anybody who has advice, opinions, or general comments....please let me know!

7Sage Community,

I never thought I would be posting a discussion again now that I got my desired LSAT score and have submitted all of my applications. But I have to say... I seriously miss all of you and your encouragement. I could not even bring myself to delete the app off of my phone even after I submitted my apps.

So I have already pressed submit on 15 law school apps and after going through them and reviewing them, I noticed that the current address was wrong on one of them. After going through all of them, I noticed I made the mistake on 4 apps. I am absolutely freaking out... I have been told that revisiting or resubmitting apps after you submitted them is a huge NO NO and that it can hurt your chances of getting accepted. The mistake was super minor, I put 726 E instead of 736 E.

Should I just email the law school and let them know? Should I not even bother because most of them send denials/admits over email? Will they use my permanent address? (that one is accurate)

I am completely freaking out, what should I do??

As the title says, today's the last day! Don't miss it.

Hi there..

I was wondering if there is an inclusive list that includes the PrepTests necessary for the different tiers of curriculum with 7Sage. I knew that the PrepTests didn't come with the curriculum but I found myself very frustrated today as I was trying to work through the curriculum only to find out I didn't have all the necessary materials.

Was hoping there was a list so that I can buy them all at once.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any insight on when or if we'll have it available for purchase on LSAC's site or Amazon before the Feb administration?

Also, if it does become available, what are the chances that 7sage will have explanations available in time for Feb?

Thanks!

Some schools ask what other schools I applied for...If it's not required to answer the question, should I leave it blank?

Couple of questions:

1. How does one translate "never" into Lawgic? I know this is a group 4 indicator, but could someone really break it down and give a couple of examples? I'm struggling with this word.

2. How would one translate this sentence into lawgic (of. 258 of the LSAT trainer) "Sarah will never date a funny guy?" Could you not only state the answer but also WHY you translate it that way?

Thanks in advance!
