Good luck everyone!!
hi, I just got my LSAT score and am trying to figure out where to apply/what my chances are at different schools. Does anyone know what are the best/most accurate sites that tell you this?
Thanks so much!!
Hello guys,
As we all know, the December LSAT scores came out on yesterday. This was my first time taking the test and I was deeply disappointed by my score. I scored an 139. I was in complete shock because when I would take practice tests, I scored a 151. Upon reviewing my answer key and etc, I found that the answers I changed were actually correct. Second guessing and timing are my biggest downfalls. I think another issue that I suffered from was the fact that I was so fixated on numbers rather than accuracy. I wish I would have known about 7sage earlier on. I used the powerscore bibles to prepare and wanted to join a 7sage prep course. However, due to me being unemployed, I could not afford to pay for a class. My score got to me at first but I had to realize that nothing in life that we truly want comes easily. It takes hard work, determination, persistence, and good faith! With that being said, I will be retaking the exam in February and wanted to get you guys opinion on how I can increase my score and become more confident. My desired score is a 150 or above. I know that I can do it because law school is my destiny. Thank you 7sage community for your support!!
Hi all,
In the December LSAT, I had an experimental LR section so only one RC section (section 4). I remember clearly two of the articles were on perfume and stealing thunder. In the LSAC's Disclosure Book uploaded RC section, neither of these articles were included. Anyone else notice this issue?

Hi 7Sage community! I have a quick question for you guys:
I took the LSAT for the first time two and a half years ago and I really didn't do my best. However, I sat for the December 2014 LSAT and my new score is 6 points higher than my old one. So I know that law schools will be able to see both scores, but I've heard that they really consider the highest score. How true is that? I mean, should I be applying to schools with LSAT ranges that include my higher score or will I have to shoot a little bit lower?
Hi all,
As we all already know our scores from the December LSAT, I thought I would put this out there and get some opinions. The December test was my second time taking the LSAT as I took it in June. I scored 7 points higher than my first LSAT but unfortunately 4 points lower than my average has been on my timed practice tests from 7sage. As far as applying for schools should I just take that as test day jitters and send out my applications or maybe take the test in February. Also would it look bad to take the test 3 times to some schools? Im kind of confused as to what I should do right now, so any input would be appreciated.
any one looking for a study buddy? I'm looking to test in June and would like to spread the studying out over 6 months- meet up once every week or every other week so that all the problems become second nature. In person would be best but I would work via skype as well. It definitely helps to talk some through with other people.
good luck to everyone who took in Dec
Hey guys, anyone know if the release date for the Dec '14 exam is the same for unpublished test centers?
Can I withdraw my already submited applications if Im not happy with Dec LSAT score?
If I do, would that mean Id have to check the applied before box if i apply the following cycle?
Hi guys,
Just wanted your take on this. For the past three tests now i have seen my blind review score go up. 158-165, but my actual score is not increasing as much and there is still a 10 point gap. What would you recommend to fix the problem, if there is one? Let me know your thoughts.

Hey you guys! I wanted to share with you all that I have a fee waiver for Georgia State University & University of Georgia Law. If anyone really needs this please let me know asap! I will not use them since they were given to me at a Law School Fair.

We're happy to announce that PT 74 (December 2014 LSAT) will be on sale at 7Sage starting January 15th.
The price will be $5.99 for 3 days only: January 15th, 16th, and 17th.
After that, price goes up to $29.99.
With PT74, you can download the PDF instantly and get +1 month access to all video explanations (from PT 74 and everything else you already have access to).
Some students were confused about the 1 month access time last time, so please be advised that if you don't already have a course and PT 74 is your only purchase, you will only have access to the PDF download + all video explanations for PT 74 for 1 month. If you're already enrolled in a full course, you'll get a +1 month extension on everything.
Is there anybody in Milwaukee up for studying together?
I ask this question because obviously on analysis questions you are supposed to analyze for the strength/validity of the argument and you can often find flaws with it. However certain other questions need you just to figure out the structure and describe or something like that. Whenever i do these questions, i still try to see the argument and try to figure out if it has any flaws and or how to make it a valid argument. Is that a good idea? or is it a waste of time since those kinds of questions would have "perfect" arguments.
When does PT 74 Come out!?
1. Can someone explain how the first and second sentences are rephrasings of each other?
- If the elevator malfunctioned, it wasn't properly maintained.
- The elevator would only have malfunctioned if it wasn't properly maintained.
2. What's the best way to tell the difference between a correct strengthen answer and a premise booster (or de-booster for weaken questions?) Had a little problem on PT62 Sec 4 #14
Looking for form an online or in person meet up LSAT prep group, anyone interested?
High-scorers; serious study!
Can you please provide a PDF version of this entire MAP or if you have multiple files you can send it to me as well. I need this for visualization perspective! Big picture perspective!
Thanks
Dear 7Sagers
I've only recently gotten to the point where I can get through this test.
I'm by no means out of the woods but think that now I'm at the point where my learning curve will allow me to get better and faster. My first couple of diagnostics came in around 142 :-( Right now focusing on LG's only. I was spending a lot of time going over LG problems but when I'd sit down to work a Practice Test, I could only get 5 or 6 correct. I changed my strategy and have broken through a new threshold and am getting 9 correct on the first try. On the second pass at the same LG game (timed conditions), I'll go up to +16 and by the third pass will get -2. I think this new strategy is working and if I keep implementing it I will be finishing all 4 games under timed conditions after 5 LGs, or so.
I have PTs 52-71. Right now, I've have finished 52 and 53. I don't want to use up all the more recent tests to work through LGs only and wanted to ask for recommendations regarding how far back I should go in order to get more LG practices that are still valid and relevant. Read some of the reviews on Amazon for PTs 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18 (of the 10 Actual from LSAC) and comments were mostly that the LGs, for the most part, did not reflect the current LSAT. So question is, what is the earliest PTs I should buy, that are still relevant and reflective of the most current material, to have the most LGs to practice from?
Get it. Read it. Live it.
Hi all, I was wondering if any of you guys wanted to look over the first draft of my personal statement!
Hey Guys,
I just started using much more recent PT's as my test date nears and I wanted to see if anyone felt the same way about RC passages and LR.
Has it seemed as though the RC passages became incredibly more difficult around the mid 2000's? Or is it just me getting in my own head because I've spent more time on LR recently?
The questions even seems somewhat 'different', there seems to be much more inference involved rather than pulling enumerated pieces from the passage.
Maybe Im wrong ive only done a few modern PTs, just wanted to see everyone elses opinion on the matter. The pre 2000 RC seems like a cakewalk now haha
