Hi All!

Not really sure where this goes, but I am wondering if there is any chance that the August 2024+ PTs will be loaded onto 7sage. I know that these sections are used from past LSATS, but I find it would be helpful when looking at analytics to be able to track that data.

Or even possibly have an option to create custom prep tests as I found out which sections correlate to which PT.

I had maintained a 4.0 GPA until I decided to switch my major to follow in my sister's footsteps into dentistry, aiming to make my parents proud. This decision, especially transitioning to a science major in my junior year, was extremely challenging due to my longstanding dislike for science. This struggle led to a severe Adderall addiction as I attempted to numb the reality of my situation, significantly impacting my grades during this incredibly difficult period where I was taking about seven classes, including science labs, simultaneously.

Additionally, I had to enroll in classes at different universities due to issues with attending classes properly while juggling a demanding schedule, including a dental assistant job from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, with an hour's drive to college and back every day. After realizing the extent of their pressure, my parents eventually agreed to support my ambition to pursue law, provided I steered clear of criminal law. However, my grades worsened in my senior year as I struggled to find myself again, having lost my identity amid these challenges. The experience of living through others' expectations severely affected me. Despite these hardships, my desire to become a lawyer, a dream I've harbored since childhood, remains strong. Yet, I'm concerned about how my past sacrifices might impact my future in law. My GPA eventually dropped to a 3.0, and I had to graduate months later due to the time required for my classes to transfer.

I need advice on how to explain that, although I failed classes at my home university, I performed well at other universities. Oddly, it seemed to be a mental challenge; my home university, initially chosen for its excellent law program, symbolized my dreams and passions. The disheartening experiences there made it difficult to appreciate the school or feel happy. This contrast in performance might be attributed to my perception of lost dreams at my home university, which is why I excelled in the same classes at different universities when I took them for a non-degree purpose.

I'm seeking guidance on how to articulate this complex journey in a GPA addendum, unsure of the best approach to take.

Hello! I am currently studying v2 and just noticed that there is an option to switch to v1. Can you please explain the difference between the two? I have signed up for the April 2024 exam. #help #admin

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?

Hey 7Sagers,

I'm happy to announce that we will be offering a new round of LSAT classes this April and May! In addition to the in-person courses we've been running, we will now also be offering virtual courses and weekend workshops.

Each class is led by a top-scoring 7Sage instructor and offers a chance to build community with fellow aspiring lawyers. All of our 12-week courses come with a free three months of 7Sage Core + Live so that you can take advantage of all our digital resources alongside the class's custom program.

The virtual classes are a new option for 7Sagers outside our in-person cities or who prefer a virtual environment. They also include the three-month subscription and follow the same curriculum as their in-person counterparts.

Is your test date fast approaching and one particular section is still holding you back? Give one of our short weekend workshops a try! These two-day classes are section-specific and designed to help breakthrough a plateau on a short timeline.

Learn more about our Spring courses here!

Hi all! I have no friends who are taking the LSAT and I just need some advice. I have not taken the LSAT before and I signed up for the April exam. I've been studying since January and I am hoping to get a 171. My practice scores have varied a lot. From the last two weeks, my l were 173, 169, 166, 170, 169. I have about a month before the April test and from my understanding I need to be scoring around a 174 on my practice tests if I want a 171 on test day. Do I have time? How did you all make the final push? I have gotten my RC down to -3 or -4, my LR to -4 or -5, and my LG to around -3. I often find myself running out of time on LG and RC and making stupid mistakes on LR.

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?

Hey guys! I'm from a non-English speaking country and my first diagnostic test was 142. The major problem is that I cannot finish the test with such a short period of time. I've already received an LLB from my home country and it's totally possible for me to do lsat well in my first language. So English vocabulary seems like the biggest barrier for me. I'm kindly inquiring are there any ways to increase my vocabulary in 6 months and is it possible for me to get a 160+ last eventually?

They haven't sent out the email to register for the exact date/time/location for the April 2024 test right? Also, when they do send it out, is it a rush to claim a spot or do they generally have enough spots available at in person testing sites. I have a pen and paper accommodation and am required to take it in person because of this, so I just want to make sure I will be able to get a location within driving distance lol.

I'v received a notification that I needed to renew my LSAC LawHub Advantage subscription in about a week. I repurchased the subscription today and am still seeing the notification. Is there anything else I can do to make sure LSAC account and 7sage accounts are linked? Or is this a lag?

I've recently taken PTs 61, 62, and 65. I took them as four-section tests because I'm taking the test in April and July. For all three, the sections were ordered as RC, LR, LG, LR.

Was this a coincidence? Or are all of the four-section tests set this way by 7sage? If so, can this please be changed? I would like to replicate test day conditions as closely as possible.

Throughout my LSAT journey, I have referred constantly to this post, which noted the most difficult individual PT sections in all three pre-August 2024 LSAT components. I wanted to follow up on it with updates and remarks that I believe may benefit those taking the April and/or June 2024 LSATs.

Most difficult LSAT sections according to 7Sage Analytics, as of March 2024:

LOGIC GAMES:

5-star: 27, B, C, 34, 88

4-star: 5, 18, A, 30, 31, 35, 62

LOGICAL REASONING:

5-star: 5-S1, 7-S4,17-S2, 17-S3, F97-S1, 23-S3, 28-S1

4-star: 1-S3, 3-S4, 4-S1, 5-S3, 8-S1, 8-S4, 9-S2, 10-S4, 11-S4, 12-S4, 14-S2, 14-S4, 18-S2, 21-S3, F97-S3, 22-S4, 24-S2, 26-S2, 27-S1, 28-S3, 33-S1, 39-S2, 45-S1, 62-S2, 69-S4, 70-S4, 71-S3, 72-S2, 76-S2, 78-S1, 81-S2, 84-S3

READING COMPREHENSION:

5-star: 30, 65, 74, C2, 79, 84

4-star: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 15, 18, 19, 21, F97, 26, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 35, 38, 43, 45, 47, 48, 50, 51, 53, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 73, 75, 76, 78, 81, 82, 83, 85, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91

A couple of remarks:

  • Where are PTs 92-94? Those PTs have all their sections ranked 3 stars or lower (in some cases, even as low as 1 star!)

  • Will RC be just as difficult in April and June? I would say yes. Given how many 4- and 5-star difficulty sections have come up since the 60s range, I would recommend against neglecting RC and perhaps even going through one 4- or 5-star passage on each of your study days (you can do that by generating drills with passage difficulty set to "Hardest")

  • Should I be going out of my way to challenge myself with older 4- or 5-star difficulty sections? It depends. A lot of the LR sections listed above have outdated question forms and may be better for pure question type drilling. On the other hand, I did not reach a consistent -0 on LG until challenging myself with doing the PT A, B, and C LG sections timed and becoming exposed to all sorts of complex game formulations. It's really up to you and what your goals are

    Hey everyone, I wanted to get some good advice from fellow LSATers. How often should I PT? I am currently finishing the core curriculum, in the LR section and was wondering when and how often should I start PTing? Should I complete my CC, or do I start PTing once in a while? Thank you in advance.

    Hi!

    My friend who went to Yonsei UIC and I are starting an online LSAT study group. He has an official score of 176 and my score fluctuates from 166-172. I am not sure if this means anything but I have a degree from Johns Hopkins. We also have another member who scores around low-170s in the PTs.

    We meet at 7 pm-9 pm Korean Standard Time on Wednesday.

    I have a Zoom Pro, so we can meet without interruption.

    We also plan to meet offline at Gangnam station for a group study or maybe even a dinner or drinks if we gather enough people.

    If you are interested, please send me a DM and I will invite you to the KakaoTalk group chat!

    Thanks! (:

    How do you guys study for LSATS after the core curriculum? Like how many practice tests do you guys take a week? I work full time so I can mostly just do practice tests over the weekend. Do I just do drills the other days and which drills should I do?

    Hi, I have two different scores that I have seen for a preptest and just want to make sure I understand fully what is going on so I know how to proceed. On the first diagnostic I took, I got a 142 - what I see currently is a 135 as the score. I took a preptest two days ago and the score I received was a 148, after finishing blind review it was a 152. Now it shows up as a 140. I still had the tab open from when it was a 148. Just want to make sure what exactly is going on here and which one is my score. Thank you!
