Hi all, I thought that students still had access to the Wrong Answer Journal after taking a PT, but I do not see it. Can someone tell me where I can find it on here?

Hi all,

I took the April 2024 LSAT and am going to retake in August. As such I am going to switch over to the new syllabus and I am looking for some guidance on the following. Any help is appreciated!

I already went through most of the LR curriculum but I am considering redoing it. Is it substantially different and worth taking from the top? Or mostly the same?

I noticed that when you switch over all of the drill questions and prep tests are now marked untaken. Is this completely fresh material or is it reusing questions from the old syllabus. My concern is that when I switch over I will be repeating questions and there will be no indication whether or not I have taken them before. This also effects my drilling strategy going forward.

If anybody has switched between the two already and has any guidance it would be much appreciated!

Hi 7Sagers-- I'm sharing my story in case it helps with others gritting their teeth to push past plateaus, crushed by the weight of their own expectations. Since I was a kid, it has always been my dream to become an attorney. But I paused that dream after college in order to enter the workforce and financially provide for my family. Like many of you, this test terrified me. I took my diagnostic and scored a 145. But deep down, I knew I wanted a 170. I read many online forums that claimed that such a score jump is impossible.

I worked long hours with multiple jobs and I barely had time to sleep. The routine of working full time, studying at night, and maintaining my mental and physical health was a Herculean effort. I took two different courses, eventually landing on the holy grail of 7Sage. But my PT scores were erratic, often plummeting down along with my confidence and self-worth. I scoffed at stories of people suggesting that 3-6 months of studying was enough. Two years have passed for me and I only increased 10-15 points.

With the help of 7Sage tutors, I scored a 166. I jumped up and down in joy. But every time I hit the ground, I felt in my stomach that I wasn't done. I felt as if I didn't reach my goal of 170, I won't be able to face my other ambitious, nearly-impossible career goals. I must defeat this last boss monster in front of me. I must push this Sisyphean boulder past this mountain slope, no matter how many times I fall.

I was tired. I hated this test. I made a hard decision to defer law school for another year even though I was nearly five years past undergrad. But I took a four month break from the test. Refreshed, I began studying for several more months. This April, I finally got the 170. Three years of infinite drilling, crying at the desk, saying 'no' to friends, all paid off.

Please don't give up. Take a break. Come back. Don't rush the process.

You are Sisyphus. Except in this story, the boulder will fall over the mountain.

Hi,

I plan on taking the August LSAT began studying for the LSAT in March of this year, doing roughly one hour a day since I was busy, and taking a break in April because of other issues. I took one diagnostic and scored a 140. Is it realistic to attempt to score a 160 by August? What do you think I should do.

Have heard that international LSATS use previously undisclosed LSAT exams. Since the most recent LSATs in the past two years have been much more difficult and with harder curves, would this mean that the international LSAT is therefore slightly easier than the U.S. one.

This is pure speculation on my part but I believe that it may be the case.

When I do my Wrong Answer Journals, I always ask: Why is answer choice (insert choice) correct? Why did I get it wrong?

Are those good alternative questions to the one 7Sage recommends? I also ask because I got used to asking those two questions.

I tried to do some drills today and found I could not because I do not have Lawhub Advantage. Please do not tell me I will run into the same trouble when I finally take a practice test.... Lawhub Advantage is $115 7Sage 2nd tier subscription is $99. Why am I paying for the same thing twice. This is extremely frustrating. I have yet to complete one step of applying to law school without dropping a minimum of $100 to progress to the next "step"

Hi,

Planning on taking the new lsat as soon as it comes out since I’m a junior and want to apply to law school as soon as possible. On my first practice exam I got a 142 and same on the second. I know it seems fast but my goal is 170. I believe anything is possible. But I have issue with just how to study and too indecisive to stick with one. The other issue is on 7Sage there’s 2 versions. I’m currently doing a mix of both since version 2 is newer I assume it’s better. But I have dis Lexi a (WHY DO THEY MAKE THAT WORD HARD TO SPELL) anyways… so ver2 lack of videos make it hard to understand but on version 1 it mostly explanions and not tips or learning going on. Lol any help will be greatful. I only want to go to law school and it's literally all I have left. (long sad story)

Hi everyone, curious to get your thoughts on my LSAT keep vs. cancel debate -

I got a 168 in Feb, which was my target score, but prior to receiving the score, was convinced that I didn't do that well so kept studying fervently and as a result, decided to try for higher even when I did get my score. Unfortunately, I was tripped up by logic games and ended up with a 165 on the April test.

I don't believe I need to retake the test to have a decent chance at my target schools (3.93 undergrad + some unique / strong "softs"), but I am on the fence about trying again anyway, so that is a potential factor.

A couple of thoughts I have that are making me (counterintuitively) trending toward keep -

One counterpoint for canceling if I don't retake - how much does the adcom really care about a single cancellation? Would they probably really just see the 168? Vs. perhaps seeing the 165 might "cement" that I'm more of a mid-upper 160s tester.

So, would greatly appreciate your thoughts on whether to keep or cancel in both scenarios. Thanks in advance.

Hey all,

I realized a little while ago that I needed help studying and got a tutor (planning to take the June 2024 test). I thought it was going well, but I took my first practice test in a while and got a 153 (my lowest score since my diagnostic test, and way below my average of 160). Is this a normal thing when starting tutoring? I get that I'm relearning how to take the test and knew there would be bumps in the road, but I'm kind of worried about it. I ended up getting questions wrong that I was 99% sure I got right, and thought I was using everything I learned in tutoring. I still have a month and plenty of sessions before the test, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had this experience and if it's a normal thing.

Hello everyone. Since my diagnostic, until now I have gone up about 13 points but I am still yet to reach my goal of 165. I have taken countless PTs and have been drilling almost every day for the past 6 months. My biggest problem is managing my time. In the LR sections, I always finished with 5 unanswered questions. On the RC, I only get to finish 3 passages. I know some say that there is only so much more you can improve after having studied for a long time, but I refuse to believe that I have plateaued. There has to be a way.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to finish on time with accuracy?

How are people deciding when to take prep tests? Are they not in the curriculum (as they were in v1) or in the study schedule v2 for a reason?

help :)

I'm going through the "Skill Builder - Group 2 Translations" unit of the Conditional and Set Logic section in the Core Curriculum and I'm having some trouble understanding why contrapositives were not used for questions 7.1-7.5. Was looking through the forums and comments under that unit and couldn't find much that explained why contrapositives weren't being used here. I did, however, see a comment that mentioned contrapositives not being used because the conditional language was used to express a potential causal relationship (more than a sufficient-necessary relationship). However, it still seems that those statements are conditional with comparative and causal elements (at least based on the explanations provided for those statements and how I and others interpreted them).

So would statements indicating there being causal and/or comparative elements not require contrapositives, especially if the statements can also be translated into lawgic and indicate there being a sufficient/necessary relationship??

My apologies in advanced if this type of question is meant to go under that unit and not in the discussion forum. It's just that there wasn't much of a response (if any) from the tutors about this.

I've started with Mike Kim's Trainer and got through about 1/3 of the book (skipping LG for the new format). My diagnostic PT was a 160, which is a decent start, but now I'm wondering if I should switch to 7sage's core curriculum and finish that as soon as possible. Given where I'm at and the remaining time I'm at, how should I prioritize the CC, the trainer, and PTs?

For example, should I do 1 PT per week along with the CC and drop the trainer entirely? Or should I finish the CC entirely first then start doing PTs?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I'm in search of new music suggestions for my LSAT studying time. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Korean & Japanese music (I'm bilingual, and I understand English and Spanish). I think the Korean & Japanese music helps me concentrate on the material better because I don't get so distracted by the lyrics since I don't understand anything the artist(s) are saying, lol.

Any suggestions for music in languages other than English and Spanish would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys,

I'm moving through the CC and noticed that I didn't do as well on PAI questions. I'm moving on to Must be True/False questions and wanted to see how you all handled previously learned material. Did you do daily drills in areas you felt you performed worse as you made your way through the curriculum? Did you let your analytics dictate what you studied after completing the CC in its entirety?

Basically, how did you keep your knowledge fresh of previously learned material?

I finished the Core Curriculum about 2 or so months ago (albeit not in a neat, consistent, and linear fashion - took me 2+ years) and after taking some drills in order to determine which areas I need to go back and review, I've gone back into the CC to do just that. I'm currently in the strengthening section of LR and I just finished one of the practice drills after having gone through (for a second time now) the lessons and guided practice questions.

Now, as was the case when I first went through these sections, it is taking me an unholy amount of time to get through these practice drills (anywhere from 20-45 min) and it is getting very frustrating knowing that it is taking me periods of time that exceed or come close to exceeding the allotted testing time to answer a mere 5 question drill. Additionally, and as if to add insult to injury, it isn't even the case that I'm getting all of the questions right within those time frames!

How, other than at the slowest snails' pace, can I possibly improve? I don't foresee myself being able to, at least anytime soon, complete entire sections of a test under simulated testing conditions.

Someone...anyone...please help!

I know from friends that there is strategy to approaching each section- whether thats numbering logic games on difficulty and taking them in that order or approaching LR questions to save time. Does anyone know if 7sage has guidance on this?

Hi all,

I’m sorry about all the discussion topic posts! When you finish the CC, which PT you recommend starting with? I plan to take the LSAT post-Logic Games so would it have to be the first PT in the reorganized edition?

Please come join us on discord, things are about to kick off into pretty high gear for June, the hundreds of already there would love for you to join us, if you haven’t already. Please pass on the link to anyone you think might also benefit:

Hi, is there a way to reset the drills? I am nearly out of 'clean' questions, games, passages, which makes it difficult to have it create automated drills for me. Thanks!

I accidentally submitted my LSAT writing before I had the chance to delete my notes (pros, cons, etc) and so now my notes are at the top and my actual essay is at the bottom of the submission ... what should I do????
