Hello I am currently getting -1/-2 on each passage but I can't seem to finish RC.

I guess for the RC I need more practice timed.

But I am really discouraged by LR. I am constantly scoring -10~-12 each section. I can't finish around 4-5 questions and get the rest wrong. How can I improve from this?

I have been studying since June and just completed a practice test with a score of 144. I'm so discouraged and feel like nothing is working. I'm feeling like the test has gotten the best of me. Any suggestions or anyone who has been through this? It seems like my accuracy has gone down with the more I've been studying

First and foremost, I have to give a huge shout out to Chris Bearne from 7sage tutoring. I started seeing my results plateau at the 170 range, and Chris truly was invaluable in helping me break through to the 17highs. Finding a tutor who will tailor strategies specifically for your weakness, and overall just the rigidity of structure Chris brought was incredibly important. My biggest area of improvement was RC from -10 to -1 to -3, and Chris's techniques was key in that process.

I'll skip everything else that everyone already rave about, like blind review, but the thing that helped me the most was repeating this process over and over again: Prep test -> Go through all wrong answers, even the ones you got right but took too long -> Write down all the inferences you took from your performance on how to do better next time (separated into LR LG and RC) -> read them over and internalize before the next prep test. It seems repetitive and annoying (my final document was almost 20 pages), but ultimately it's a great way to maintain the level of standard needed for test day to go as well as your prep tests. Please feel free to reach out if with any questions!

Hi everyone, apologies if this has been posted before but I would love to hear all of your opinions about taking an LSAT prep test when tired. I have just over a month until I take the real thing and I feel like I haven't taken anywhere enough PTs so would you recommend just powering through or doing everything I can to get enough rest and opt to take the exam in the late afternoon/evening to compensate?

I'm also not scoring anywhere near as high as I'd like (currently around 160) and much of this I feel is due to psychological factors such as timing anxiety, and frustration. My thoughts are that I can work through this in time but again, would love some advice.

Hi I hope all is well with you 7Sagers.

It has been now 6 months since I've started to studying for LSAT but still struggling with many of the sections.

My diagnostic was 145, and last score was 153 (pt38: BR164) but this, I think was a fluke(higher BR score came from LG and RC, not much difference in LR). English is my secondary language.

I have full time job, and during week days, I manage to study for 3 hours per day. I meditate daily, listen to LSAT podcasts while driving back home from work; really trying to dedicate myself to LSAT studying.

I plan to take my LSAT next April; I have now about 6 months to prepare.

I foolproof LG with old PTs on daily basis (4games per day), and not doing any drills on RC yet (instead, I am currently reading Economics) as I feed the need to focus on improving LR at the moment.

After CC, I read Ellen's Loophole twice which made me feel pretty confident that I have the fundamentals strengthened, and I have been doing the basic translation drill ("BTD") for a month (but still takes 40 minutes to finish off one section).

*BTD is a translation drill that you read the stimulus and cover it up and repeat in your own words which will require fast understanding and quick memory; this process is quite tedious and even harder since English is my secondary language.

I plan to continue BTD until I can do it within 20 minutes (may be 30 minutes? I don't know) but not sure if this is something that can be improved because I will be facing different passages all the time.

Recently, I took timed LR section from old pts to see if there had been any improvement. I still felt nervous and digesting the stimuli difficult (maybe there was very slight improvement but generally difficult); I got -10 (BR -8); when encountering the questions, my fundamentals seemed to fall apart or mind goes blank, and this was so discouraging.

My general idea is that we do BR after taking PTs but since I need to work on my accuracy on LR, I am currently working on drilling with old LR sections (pt 1~35) doing untimed, and take as much time as necessary.

I have several questions:

In this case, is BR still necessary or recommended? Or should I do the drilling timed, and BR?

Also, should I spend more time on drilling old LR sections untimed? I realize that I have been focusing more on BTD and reading books to learn/familiarize the concepts.

Is drilling by solving lots LR sections from old pts is what it takes to improve?

With 6 months remaining, I feel desperate and lost with little improvement; with many things going on my head: trying Blueprint, tutoring or quitting. I am not sure if I am doing things right.

I would really appreciate any advice.

Wanted to know if anyone can recommend the way they are studying, or some tips on how to be studying and drilling a month before the exam?

Hi, I took the September LSAT and scored below what I was scoring on my PT's. I scored a 148. I'm taking the November LSAT and want my mark to be in the high 150's. I drill almost everyday and take 1-2 PT's every week. Is it possible for me to reach this goal in a month? Please let me know if anyone has done this and how, I'd love the advice.

I was really struggling with the LSAT, that is until I found 7sage! I had already taken the LSAT twice and had gotten a 140 each time. After enrolling with 7sage and following the syllabus, doing drills, and also using the incredible blind review method, I was finally able to score a 151 on the September LSAT! I am going to continue to use 7Sage until I am able to reach my goal score. 7Sage is truly a life saver! I don't know what I would have done without them. Thank you, 7sage!

I am so confused - do I do the lessons in order.... its hours of just drill tests after the videos do I finish logic reasoning and then start logic games? or do I jump around?

I took my PT. Then the next day I BR'd it and then I fool proofed the logic games until I got them all correct and at a decent time.

Is reviewing your PT a multi-day task?

I assume it can't be the case 100% of the time, but as a rule of thumb, are the harder questions toward the end of each section?

For example, if I take a LSAT, can I anticipate that for LG the first two games will probably be easier than the last two games? And for RC, the first two passages will probably be easier than the last one/two?

This is good to know if you know you are going to struggle with timing and will need to triage to try to save the hardest for last.

BR RC -11 LR -10 LG -5

PT RC -18 LR -15 LG -11

Under timed condition, I miss more than 5 questions than BR. I lost concentration during PT and did not remember what I just read. I have a LSAT in October and only two weeks left. I'd like to minimize the gap between the BR and PT.

I work full-time so my maximum study time is 5 hours per day.

Should I take 2 Prep tests per day under timed condition? or Should I take 25questions drills under timed condition?

Please advise me :(

Hi all - I hope everyone who took the September test received a score they are happy with/proud of. If not, keep going! I wanted to make this post to see if anyone had any information on disclosed tests for the 2023/24 cycle (i.e. tests where you get a PDF copy of the test itself, the answer key + your answers, and a score breakdown by section). I read on "manhattanreview.com" that the September test (along with November & June) would be disclosed, but there is no date on the article I read nor any link/source to back this up. If anyone has any info, please let me know! I know they haven't disclosed a test in a while now, but getting to review this test before my final October try would be great! Thanks in advance.

Hi, I started studying for the LSAT 14 days ago, ran through about a 1/3 of Mike Kim and did about 10% of 7sage's LG CC. I decided to just take a diagnostic today now that I'm at least familiar with the question types, and stupidly I forgot to check the "modern" box on the older PT I was taking, so I ended up doing 2 LRs. Well, LR is my biggest weakness it seems.

I got -2 on RC, -4 and -6 on the two LRs, and -3 on LG, equal to 165 according to 7sage. I'd imagine that if this were a modern test, my score would be different since there is only 1 scored LR section. Does anyone know how I can convert? I know that each of the 3 sections is weighted equally nowadays, not sure if this was the case back then. Was each LR 25% of the test, or were the two LRs together 33% of the test? Thanks a bunch.

As stated do I need to physically print out the exams for each PT I do blind review or is there a way to digitally “circle” choices I’m uncertain of when taking a PT online?

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to ask for some feedback or how people have normally done this in the past. My exam is November 2023 and I really really want to apply this cycle. The score is released November 29th and I want to get my application in ASAP so how should I be prepping my personal statements, letters of rec, etc. and like for which school? Should I just have a general idea of what I'm going to get and target schools in that range?

I'd love to prep in advance and not scramble in early December, but it's hard especially when I don't even know which school I'm applying to...

Any insight would be great :D

Thanks!

I'm doing V1 curriculum. I have 70 hours left of lessons (in logic games and RC). I started with 147. I just found I got 149 after doing most of the curriculum. WTF. I didn't do blind review (I will go back and do) because I wanted to see if I should write in November. What am I doing wrong. Please help I"m bummed. I've been working on this since June. Thanks.

Sharing this on behalf of a fellow 7Sage User. We would greatly appreciate any assistance or answers. Thank you very much!

A lot of what we study on the LSAT can feel a bit abstract, esoteric, or even pointless sometimes. That can make studying frustrating and difficult to connect with our real objective: law school. It always helps me to know that things I'm learning aren't completely useless, so maybe some of you will be interested in this case the Supreme Court granted cert on. (Granting cert just means they agreed to hear it. No one will explain that to you in school, but they will just assume you understand. Now you know!) Tens of thousands of people have been sentenced under the provision in question, and their lives will be dramatically impacted by the Court's decision. So these sorts of things matter. A lot. Great opportunity to review the exclusive "or."

Hi all,

I finally took LSAT writing today. I took the August LSAT and tried to take LSAT writing for the first time a few days after the August exam, but technical difficulties prevented me from doing so. I think I thought it was okay to use Google Chrome, which apparently it isn't. Then, a few weeks later I tried taking it again (I waited a few weeks because it wasn't a huge priority for me to complete LSAT writing asap), but as I tried to test whether my computer was compatible with LSAT writing's online proctoring requirements, I got hacked. I then spent a week dealing with that.

Finally, I think I took LSAT writing today, but I'm not certain the exam was submitted. This is for a few reasons.

Under the status column on the LSAT writing page of LSAC, it says "Exam Initiated" rather than something like "Exam Completed."

Right after the last second elapsed during the exam, the webpage containing the prompt and text box immediately went away and seemed to be replaced by a screen that said something like "There was a problem" and some other text. I waited for about 20 seconds to see if this would change but it didn't. So, I tried refreshing the page. I think after that it went to a page that said the LSAT writing sample was submitted, but honestly I can't remember exactly. I'm concerned that this screen that said "There was a problem" means that, even after taking the 35 minute exam, it somehow wasn't registered or something.

I read on the LSAC website that after one completes LSAT writing, one will be able to read one's answer. Because I don't see any link that enables me to do that, I'm afraid my LSAT writing exam was not ultimately submitted.

Does anyone think they know what the deal is? Needless to say, I am extremely frustrated by how many times I have had to try to take LSAT writing. I hope I don't have to try a fourth time. Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, I was just wondering which practice tests are used to make the current problem sets in the syllabus? Is it Pts 1 - 45 or practice tests 1 - 35? Thank you all :)

does anyone know where on powerscore they uploaded the tests/sections we should review for the october lsat like they said in the crystal ball webinar?

Basically title. I am at a point where I can finish each LR section with about 10-15 minutes still on the clock which gives me enough time to go through all the questions I flagged and review the latter half of the questions even if I didn't flag them. In this case, should I still be blind reviewing? If the point of the BR is to become confident on questions I didn't get to fully because of time, then it seems like it wouldn't be necessary? Feels odd to not BR but I don't find myself changing my answers if I BR those sections.

at what point during the CC should you start drills? Or is this something you save until you're done the CC?

My stop/start break accommodation got approved and I want to be able to take PTs like the real thing, but I dont see a pause or "stop/start" feature when I am taking a PT on 7 sage. Am i missing something or is that not a feature that is available to 7 sagers?
