Hi everyone, this is my first time doing this. I am taking the lsat in April ( and June) and I was wondering for these last couple of weeks is there any tips/advice for studying for any of the sections? What helps you all study, how do you find time studying while working and going to school? If anyone answers I would really appericate you.

Need ur two cents!

Hey guys,

I am so sorry to post this silly question but I would be super thankful if you give me a short answer to this.

I just really like to canvass ur opinion on this issue. Is it wrong to say that "the downside of human intelligence" or "the downside of having human intelligence" instead of the dark side of human intelligence? Does that sound awkward to u even when I am simply referring to the negative aspect of that endowment? By doing so, I am not talking about the moral perversion. For instance, by being equipped with human intelligence, one could be cunning and calculating, driven by his/her needs. This acumen could sometimes hinder us from developing any unconditional/trust-based relationship with others. Then, what was supposed to serve us positively does a disservice to our welfare against our will. Is it really improper for me to depict its negative effect without resorting to the evil genius in the realm of philosophy? What I want to say is that there could be some cumbersome issues arising from this faculty. Meanwhile, I would like to distinguish the inconveniences from the out-and-out moral failures like crime. I think there could exist some of the attributes that do not promote our well-being while they do not necessarily cross their paths with the humanity's seedy underbelly. what are ur thoughts on this? Forgive me for posing this moronic question.

Ok, I did a practice session on the LSAT practice on LSAC. I bombed it spectacularly with 5/23. I have autism and sometimes have problems with testing. Is there any LSAT prep programs that are in person? Thank you

Slight problem - I have a slightly long first name, and Prometric only took in the first 15 letters (including spaces) of it. Thus, my LSAT registration only has the first 15 letters of my first name and does not exactly match my ID. Has this happened to anyone before/any suggestions on who to reach out to?

To address any potential questions: I can definitely rule out my own human error, as my first name is correctly and fully entered on my LSAC profile. I also tried to add my full first name on the registration page, but unfortunately Prometric's website pulls it from LSAC and puts it in an uneditable field.

Any views appreciated - thanks!

I am very confused what study schedule I should be using for the August LSAT should I be using the V2 beta or the regular study schedule because they both say different things to do per week? I am just confused how I should structure my studying because the regular one has a lot less time per week than the beta but the beta includes prep tests.

How do YOU study?

What is the best way you all have found to study with 7sage? I usually watch a guided video then try and do a drill of the same sort. Wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving anything on the table. Any input would be awesome. Thanks everyone!

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?

Go to the Question Bank! Let's say you've done PT66, 67, and 68 recently and want to drill all the flaw questions from those PTs.

Select "Flaw or descriptive weakening" (or add "+Flaw"), type PT66, then add all the Flaw questions:

Then type PT67 and add all questions. Then do the same for PT68.

Update on 2024-03-21: we've ended this experiment and turned off the study session calendar. Thanks to everyone who came to a collaborative study session!**

Hey 7Sage,

I'm excited to announce free, on-demand, small-group study sessions! Every weekday, we're offering four sessions with ten slots each. The sessions are designed to be student-led—no 7Sage staff will be in the meeting—but we'll provide your group with a suggested activity.

Please note that the meetings will be recorded for the safety of all participants.

Sign up for a small-group study session now!

This is an experiment, and we’d love to hear your feedback.

Hi guys,

I am taking April LSAT and I just took PT88 and got score with -6 drop from my usual. I am not too worried about LG -2/-3 is ok for me but I just got like -12 in LR and -15 in RC. I usually get between -6/-9 for LR so I guess 3 more questions I can pass but I usually get -6 on RC with max -9 but with -15 in this RC I don't know what to do anymore.

Has anyone seen this major drop with scores with this PT particularly or maybe few weeks before the actual exam? I took one from the 90s and I didn't even do that bad on it so now I am confused where I lie. My scores have not dropped nor increased (LOL) for like the past few months and I was pretty happy with my score of 159~ 162. I got 153 on this PT so what will be the actual score on the real one? OR is this PT just from hell and I should just burn it and act like it never existed LOLOL

Great news: we’ve updated the 7Sage digital tester to include the set of remixed PrepTests LSAC recently released (PTs 101–158). To access them, simply head to the digital tester as usual and click the “August 2024 or later” button at the top.

Wait, what?

Here’s the backstory if you missed it: On February 22, LSAC released 58 “new” (well, technically not new) PrepTests on LawHub, a set they’re calling the “August 2024 Admin Test Format.” They start at PT 101 and go to PT 158.

The change is in preparation for the post-August 2024 LSAT which will be offered without Logic Games. The newly released PrepTests consist of two Logical Reasoning sections, one Reading Comprehension section, and one experimental section. Technically, the material on the tests is not actually new; these are composed of shuffled and repackaged sections from previous tests (PT19-PT94), excluding Logic Games.

I’m so confused!

That’s fair! This is a lot to keep track of, even for those of us who only ever think about the LSAT. Here’s a post with a lot more details about the new/not new PTs.

Hey! I'm planning to take the LSAT in April and/or June so I can take the LSAT with logic games. I've been studying with 7Sage religiously and do daily drills with both the advanced and auto builder. However, today I went in and everything looks completely different and there is no option to drill logic games. Additionally, I can't see which drills/questions I've done (including LR and RC) as all the preptests are different now. Can 7Sage please fix this and provide a drilling option for those taking the April/June tests?

For the past four drill sets (main point section under "syllabus"), I have submitted my answers and completed blind review, only to find that the correct answers and explanations are not shown. Under the “Review Results” heading, it just says “Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries.” It did not do this for earlier drill sets.

This makes it impossible to meaningfully work through the syllabus. Please advise.

In the drilling mode section it says there are a certain amount of 'clean questions' remaining for each category. Does this refer to questions that only exist in PTs 1-35? I would like to do more drills but also don't want to spoil future practice tests.

April LSAT

Has anyone else gotten an email about signing up for a testing time for the April test yet? I saw sign ups are suppose to start today, but I haven't gotten any emails yet, and last time I'm pretty sure I got an email about it in advance

Testing Center Question

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?

As soon as I start to read questions my brain starts to melt and mush. I have to reread the first sentence so many times to actually dial in, and beyond that point I usually have to read the who stimulus/passage 3-5 times to actually have a grasp of it. I feel like I cannot process the information fast enough and that has been the issue for me for some time.

I'm embarrassed to say it but with the time allotted (35min) I usually can only finished about 10-12 questions per section. The only way I can actually finish a section is by skimming and guessing. I actually got some time accommodations (thankfully), but I am only able to finish a few more questions with the extra time. I leave about 9 questions blank.

I feel very insecure about how my brain works and how my processing speed is regarding this stuff. Does anyone have experience with this? I have the KNOWLEDGE, and I have the SKILLS & TOOLS (I could use of course more practice), however I'm worried about my inability to apply what I know, because in order for me to apply my skills I have to be able to READ and FOCUS and PROCESS quickly!! Help? Tell me I'm not alone...

Hey 7Sagers,

Just FYI, if you're having a tough time pulling up your RC score and are wondering if you could be doing anything differently, I recently posted some RC tips over on the blog:

LSAT Reading Comprehension Tips

If you've had success with other approaches, please share! Post any tips of your own here or over in the blog's comments.

Happy reading and comprehending!

Issues in LSAT Prep

I've been studying and I noticed a very peculiar trend in my wrong answer choices as well as the reason I get these answers wrong. And the issue is I always wind up missing some important detail in the stimulus that will lead me to the correct answer choice. And it's always something small like a key word whether it's something that indicates strength (always, some of the time, never) or something like "adequately, imprecise, etc". It's always something small but this small thing usually changes the answer choice up a lot. And my wrong answer choice is almost always the second most selected answer meaning that I'm falling into the trap the LSAT writers have set out in some way.

Any advice/ practice strategies for resolving this issue? Or any more concise explanation? I see the pattern but I'm still having a bit of a hard time completely understanding and pinpointing the issue.

Hi all,

I never thought I would be asking about this on the 7Sage forum, but I figured I would since you all want to go to law school. Are there any jobs that require a college degree but no professional experience? Ideally those that relate to legal work. Also, if you all have any suggestions on where to look I would appreciate any direction.
