Been using it to draw LG Diagrams. I'm registered for April, so if I can't use it, better to know sooner than later so I can amend my approach. Not a huge deal imo, but it helps keeps the diagrams a bit cleaner, would probably be 1 minute slower overall without it. Thanks and let me know.

Lately for my drills for LR, most of the questions I am taking and usually getting right are where other students that scored 165-170 also got right. Does this mean 7-Sage thinks I would also be scoring in this range? I feel like before, the questions I and others got right they had usually scored like a 158-162 or so.
I plan on taking the LSAT in April (and June if I’m not satisfied w my score) but I recently discovered Logic Games would be retiring August 24’ - https://www.lsac.org/blog/what-to-expect-starting-with-august-2024-lsat
I’m curious to know how we feel about logic games. Personally, I’m most concerned with timing and feel that varying assessments type on an exam could work to my advantage.
Hi! Anyone have any simple tips on how to increase speed? I am taking the January LSAT but was curious to know if there any tips out there I should avail? (Ie. eliminating answers that have specific strong words, etc.)
As we all know LGs are gone in August. My plan is to take one test prior to August and then the August exam as well (once with LGs, once without).
So my question is: is there a way to simulate a test without LGs so we can see our relative score with and without the section. I expect that my overall score will go up without the LG section but I wasn't sure if it was possible to see since the test has not been administered this way yet. Thanks in advance for the help!
Edit: I did more research and found the answer to my own question! I figured I would post it here in case anybody is wondering the same.
Answer: We've also updated our digital tester so that you can take PrepTests with two LR sections and no Logic Games section. To take a PrepTest in the new format, simply navigate to Practice->PrepTests in the main menu and click on a PrepTest. Once you're on the page for the PrepTest, click the drop-down menu to the right of the name of the PrepTest number and select “August 2024 3-section LSAT (LR, LR, RC).”
I have been averaging a 173 through my last few prep tests and I have come to have a pretty good intuition about what I scored before I actually see it. I know in my gut that I maxed out at mid-high 160s on the January test and just don't know how to use the time before Februarys test. Should I go back to basics and try the other version of the syllabus, or just drill.
I take my first LSAT in about an hour and don't feel great about it. I am still consistently -10 or worse on the logic games section, and roughly -5 on LR. My RC is fine, within a -3. I've seen that some law schools do average test scores between all the LSATs you take and some do not. I also know with score preview you can choose to discard the score. That makes it feel like a glorified diagnostic test to me, but I'm really not confident in my score. How do you decide to discard a score or keep it?
Hi folks,
I'm taking the LSAT tomorrow. I just realized that my photo from my previous LSAT tests is of me with hair. I recently shaved my head and think I should probably upload a photo of me with a shaved head. But I don't know how to upload a new photo. Can someone help? Thanks
I am currently behind I would said 3 weeks behind on my core curriculum (study schedule) I just wanted to know how should I keep going. Should I go through all the lessons then drills? or Should go through lessons do some of the drills and move on so I can catch up? Give me advice on how I should go on about everything. Also I was planning on taking it in April and I have 2 free tests should I take one test in April to just how it is or should I keep my 2 free chances till I am fully ready for the fall?
I took the November 2023 LSAT and reallyyy did not like my score- it was way lower than projected and as I studied, I wasn't really scoring much higher. Recently, however, I've been doing a lot better on my PTs (I've been consistently scoring about 10 points higher on my PTs). Because of my recent breakthrough, I didn't consider canceling my November score until now.
I literally just learned of the 6 day grace period to cancel an LSAT score. This deadline has passed about a month ago for me so I feel screwed. I feel SO STUPID for not looking into this way earlier, but I genuinely didn't think that canceling my score was even acceptable in the first place until I did more research and talked to people about it.
Would anyone have any advice or insight on this issue if they've been through something similar? I'm assuming that I'm going to score at least 5-10 points higher on the Jan LSAT, so is my only choice now to write an addendum for the gap in my scores? I will have to write an addendum for my low UGPA as well, so is it going to look bad to have multiple addendums in my applications?
Help!!! Lol thank you in advance (3(/p)
I'm planning to take the August 2024 test and using the new testing feature on 7Sage. I am trying to make sure the tests I take in the future are untouched by drilling. But I'm confused whether material from beyond 36 is being used. I did some drilling earlier and it looks like there are some tests after 36 that have been used. Thanks for your help in advance.
Hello! New here and aiming for the June 2024 test. I am following the curriculum based on that date and so far it has only asked me to take one practice test. Is the idea to take the rest after I am done with the material?
Is there any way to do notes on questions after blind review of a PT? The only option I see right now is that we can only do notes during blind review.
Hey, I'm a second time LSAT test taker. I just started studying again this week (Tuesday) and have been consistently studying for 2-3 hours a day up until this point. I am trying to build up my endurance so I can eventually study for long hours and I have been taking it slow to avoid burnout. I looked at my study schedule and I am about 19 hours behind on my schedule for Monday (which already has me starting an entirely new plan for the week). It is currently 8:00 PM where I live and I don't think I can crank out 19 hours of studying until Monday without major burnout. I really don't want to fall behind on my study schedule, but I also need to be able to sleep and function.
What should I do?
Edit: For context, I plan on re-taking in April but I'm flexible and could take it in June.
We want to improve our notes features and we need your input!
What format do you take your study notes in? Handwritten, Word doc, spreadsheet, etc?
Roughly how many notes do you have altogether, in any format? Approximately how many do you add each week (or month, or whatever)?
What do you takes on? E.g., lessons, live classes, PrepTests, drills, questions, explanations, or anything else? If you take notes on more than one kind of thing, roughly what percent of your notes fall into each category?
Please respond in the comments. Thank you for your help!
I was originally scheduled to take the January lsat next week with hopes to go to law school this 2024 cycle. I have now changed my lsat date to June 2024 with intentions to going to law school in the 2025 cycle. My goal is to get in the 160-165 range. I am locked in these next 6 months.
I thought that drills only pull from PT1-35 but I see them pulling from the PT70s and PT80s for the LR drills. How do I avoid this as to not compromise all of the prep tests? I want to save some where I haven't seen any of the questions to use for prep as well.
I noticed that the v2 curriculum is MUCH shorter than v1, partly due to fewer practice tests. I know that's because there probably aren't that many tests that have two sets of LR, but will the lack of practice tests be a detriment to my preparation for exams Aug 2024 onward?
7Sage's drill-builder only lets you see the answers to questions after you finish the drill. We're thinking of letting you choose whether to see the answers at the end (as in the current setup) or to see the answers—and possibly an explanation—after each question of the drill.
I'd love to hear from you in the comments about whether, when, and how often you might choose to see answers after each question.
Hey,
I am relatively new to 7sage, have been liking it a lot so far. I was curious to know about these difficulty levels I see after drills. Is the actual lsat generally more 4 and 5 level difficulty questions or is it more dispersed between difficulty levels.
The highest diagnostic score I've gotten so far is a 168 on Khan Academy, but that was more of a fluke where I did better than normal in LG. On LawHub, which is the only thing I use for timed PTs now, I typically get 163-165. I got a 161 on 79 which wasn't great for confidence, but apparently that's one of the harder ones.
Been able to get -0 on LR a couple of times with a typical range of -1 to -3. On RC I almost always get 24/27. LG is definitely what I need to improve most on, as I currently get 14-16 / 23.
Ideally I would love to hit 175 on the actual test in Feb. I'd really like to break 170 regardless. How realistic of a goal is that and what's the best course of action? For now I'm trying the foolproof method for LG sections I've done on previous practice tests. I've heard that it's the easiest section to master.
Planning on studying 4 days a week 3-6 hours a day until the first week of Feb.
Hi folks, this may have been covered already but I am taking the January LSAT and am trying to take my last 10 PTs under as real testing conditions as possible, including doing them on Lawhub under timed conditions and then inputting my answers in 7sage to BR.
I took the test last January and recall that there was an optional 1 minute break between sections 1&2 as well as between 3&4.
I've heard mixed comments with some saying each 35 min section now starts immediately one after the other (outside of the 10 min break halfway through).
It definitely helps to be able to take a few deep breaths between sections before diving back in. Can anyone confirm whether or not there are 1 minute timers between each pair of sections?
Hello, I want to be able to take a PT and, like the real exam, do all four in one sitting without doing Legacy mode (all four graded). Legacy grades the experimental and I was wondering if I could do experimental ungraded in digital mode. Thank you
Hi! I am in need of some advice regarding taking a gap year.
I have applied for the 2024 cycle to 6 schools. My resume, LOR's, personal statement & GPA is strong but my LSAT score is not where I know it could be. I was rushed into applying but now I feel like a gap year may be more beneficial to me. I would take the year off, live at home, study for the LSAT, save money and work at a law firm where I am working now. Overall just take time off from school but get to where my LSAT score can help me get more financial aid. However, I have already applied. I am waiting for decision emails to come back and I am wondering if there would be a way to postpone admissions? Or if after applying then taking a gap year looks bad come 2025 admissions cycle? I don't know if there is a way to do this or if anyone has done this before.
Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated :) ! Thank you!
Hey hey, 7Sagers!
We've got another Proctored PT coming up for the month of January, which will be held this Saturday, January 6th from 1-5 pm ET. 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. Here's how our Proctored PTs work:
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 can be any PT; we recommend one that you haven't seen yet and that is at least as recent as PT 50. 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 Proctor 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 privately message your preference. If only the ProctorU 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 comment below or email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!
