Hello, none of the videos on the syllabus are working Ive cleared all the cache and took off my ad block and they still don't load. I also changed the video player settings as some prior discussions have said that has helped. None of these are working.

I’ve been studying for a while (longer than 6 months) and right before the Jan test everything began to really click for me. I was scoring in the high 150s and so close to the 160s consistently. I even became so confident to where I could actually explain why all answers were right/wrong. Y’all I literally started from a 120…anyways I listened to my partner and stopped studying for a few days and I feel like I’ve lost it. I went from -6 on LR to -13, it’s embarrassing. I take feb test soon and I was hoping to break into 160s by then. Help!

Update: the chat lounge experiment has been concluded. Thank you all for participating!

Hey 7Sagers,

This week, we'll be hosting a global chat space. While the room is open, you can join here.

This event is intended to gauge community interest in a more permanent sitewide chat space. Pose a question, review some material together, or maybe meet a new study buddy!

Note that this is a space for student interaction, and the number of people in the room will vary throughout the day. If you're interested in chatting with other 7Sagers but don't see anyone in the room at the time, I encourage you to pop out the chat panel and just leave it running. You can separate Zoom's chat into its own window by clicking the button at the top right corner of the panel:

alt="popout_chat_panel"/>

The chat lounge will be open 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Eastern Time) from 1/22 through 1/26.

Let us know what you think in this thread. What features do you look for in a chat space? If there were multiple spaces dedicated to different LSAT topics, what would you be most interested in seeing?

Took PT's 50-59 and 70 up to 76 and have consistently been scoring in the 153 -155 range. Took PT 80 and got a 150 and its no big deal, transition from 70's PT's to PT's in the 80 is kinda hard but ill take a 150. Bro I go to take PT 81 and I did so bad in section 2 of the LR for it, I probably wouldve got more correct if I closed my eyes and randomly selected answers. I understand that there are some anomalies out there but I did so bad in this LR section Im kinda scared to continue forward and Im taking the February LSAT. Not sure what to do. I dont think Im screwed because ive been scoring in the low to mid 150's for a bit now but Im unsure now. Any advice is appreciated.

Give yourself a break!!!!

Cannot stress this enough!

I just returned to studying after a week off from taking the January official. I feel refreshed, focused, and driven again! Small sample size but my drills have been going phenomenal and can see myself breaking through my high 160's plateau!

If you feel stressed, unfocused, distracted, take a few days to a week off. Go to the gym, read a book, watch that Netflix series you have been dying to check out!

Still hoping for that 170+ on January though lol

Heyo,

This is going to sound ridiculous but I have no idea how to study. My college degree (History/Education) was mostly focused around writing and research, and very rarely did I need to study. I was a notorious procrastinator and while this worked well for me (I graduated with a 3.9 GPA), I realized that in order to succeed on the LSAT and beyond, I need to roll my sleeves up and study. But the problem is is that I have no idea where to start or what works best when studying for the LSAT.

For context, I have been studying for around 4-6 hours a day so far but I don't feel as if it's enough as of right now, and I would like to study for longer periods of time. I seem to be most productive at night. My diagnostic is a 145 when I started the curriculum and I'm still completing it. I would like to get into the high 150s-low 160s, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and would like to do as well as possible. If I score high, I could get full-tuition from my local law school.

What do you guys do to study for the LSAT? How do you stay motivated? Please send help!

Does LSAC send law schools all of your writing samples (within the 5 year timeframe) if you retook it? Or do they only see most recent sample?

I retook the writing last November because I wasn’t happy with the writing sample I had on file from a year ago. I also took the January test and have the opportunity to take the writing sample again. I am ok with the quality of my retake sample, and I don’t want to take it again if only the most recent is submitted. But if all of them are sent, I don’t see the harm in submitting another sample so law schools can see that the quality of my writing does not vary dramatically.

I have received several, contradictory answers from LSAC, and none of the support staff could directly locate the exact wording under LSAC’s policy or guidelines.

I understand, in the grand scheme of application review, the writing sample doesn’t hold much weight and is required partly for a plagiarism check. But, again, I see no harm done if it gives reviewers access to additional writing.

If you're ready to get more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. The next Proctored PT will take place on Saturday January 20 at 1:00 PM.

Looking forward to the Blind Review sessions on Monday for PT73. Last week's Blind Review sessions for PT70 (LR and RC) were fun! We had a lively debate as to the right answer for a tough Flaw question that dealt with a confusing part-to-whole issue (and a little dreaded math). We also discussed how to attack Comparative RC Passages, like the one on whether money can buy happiness. Can't wait to see more of you there on Monday, January 22nd for Free Live Class Day!

Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

Register by clicking the blue ‘Register’ button on this page.

Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.

Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This week's recommended PT is test 73; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday! (LR Review | RC Review). You can take the PT through 7Sage, or- if you want to simulate real test-day conditions- you can log into LawHub and take it there.

Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 PM ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctors will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to indicate your preference. If only the Prometric proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you will be able to test with those.

If you have any questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

Hi! I'm studying to take the LSAT in April and I was wondering if you get a breakdown of each section when you receive your score back from the LSAC.

Since the logic games section will no longer be apart of the test in August, a breakdown would be super helpful if I have to take the exam again to help me determine if I would take it again before they remove the LG section (in June) or after.

Thank you!

I just am logging into today, have been using 7sage for almost a year, and my progress reset? Has this happened to anyone? I am really confused and would like to know if there is a fix!

Hey there,

Anyone interested in virtually body doubling for April's test? We'd zoom while studying separately but the body double aspect helps your brain stay on task. It's like getting the pros of studying in a coffee shop without having to deal with loud talking and spending money every study session. We could also follow the pomodoro method while studying so we have built-in breaks with our study blocks. I just took the January test and I'm waiting until first week of February to resume studying. No official score but the four PTs I've taken ranged from 159-165. I need to buckle down and learn LG until it's second nature for me. Will also be drilling a lot of RC and then toward the end of my prep I'll be doing the PTs in the 80s and 90s.

I'm Mountain Standard time and during the week I'll be available to study from 7 pm-9 pm. Maybe even 5 am - 6 am as the test gets closer.

Drop a comment if interested!

Hi my name is Anna! I'm a student in Dallas, Texas, and I'm studying for the August LSAT (new format) right now. If you're also studying in Dallas, maybe we can meet at a cafe and study together and/or form a study group. I'm currently using both 7Sage and Ellen Cassidy's The Loophole in LSAT LR. Shoot me an email at anbeckley19@gmail.com if you're interested!!

I bought the 7sage core subscription earlier this week and then purchased the LawHub advantage subscription today. When I try to access practice tests on 7sage, I keep getting a message that I have a LawHub account linked, but it's not the advantage subscription. I checked and both accounts are under the same email address. I also tried the trouble shooting tips, but it's still not allowing me access.
