Hey 7Sagers,

Starting this week, our live class lineup will feature a PrepTest of the week. There will be a Proctored PT event on Saturdays from 1:00 to 4:00 PM ET, followed by LR and RC Blind Review sessions on Mondays. I hope to see you there!

As part of our upcoming Free Class Day event on Monday 1/22, the Proctored PT on 1/20 will also be free.

The next Proctored PT will take place on Saturday January 13 at 1:00 PM. Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

  • Register by clicking the blue ‘Register’ button on this page.
  • 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 week's recommended PT is test 70; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday! (LR Review | RC Review). 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 Proctors 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 indicate your preference. If only the Prometric 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 email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

    LSAT Score

    Hi! I'm studying to take the LSAT in April and I was wondering if you get a breakdown of each section when you receive your score back from the LSAC.

    Since the logic games section will no longer be apart of the test in August, a breakdown would be super helpful if I have to take the exam again to help me determine if I would take it again before they remove the LG section (in June) or after.

    Thank you!

    Hi everyone,

    I was wondering if there's anyway I could improve how I've been drilling. I started doing questions around the beginning of the month and have been focusing on drilling on LR questions about 5 -10 per day. However, I feel like I've been taking these drills for far too long untimed. Usually I drill 5 questions for about 1 - 2 1/2 hours when doing them. Once I've submitted, I check answers depending on how many I got wrong which can last for up to 2 hours. Filling LR journals take another long time as well. In general, I feel like doing small increments as such eats alot of my time up for the day and feels somewhat ineffective despite trying to score consistently high. If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve drilling/studying for the LSAT, I would much appreciate it. Thx

    Hey 7Sagers!

    We're launching the beta version of the new Core Curriculum which teaches Logical Reasoning more efficiently and effectively! If you're curious, go to your account settings via this link: https://classic.7sage.com/account/?try_v2=1

  • Under "Profile Settings," put a checkmark on "Try new curriculum (beta)"
  • Click "Save Changes"
  • Click "Syllabus" and you'll be looking at the beta version!
  • Remember, this version is still undergoing beta testing. You may come across a few quirks or notice some features from Version 1 that aren't quite yet integrated. We're doing our best to fully switch over, and we appreciate your patience as our team makes the switch!

    If you want to learn more, you can watch this YouTube video:

    💡 Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions regarding Version 2. If your question isn't answered on this forum post, then feel free to comment and ask below! For now, please keep all questions regarding the new Core Curriculum on this thread. If you have any feedback regarding Version 2, we'd love to hear it, too!

    So...what's the difference?

    CCv2 (Core Curriculum Version 2) presents LR through a more streamlined and unified theoretical framework. It's not completely different from CCv1, but we've thoroughly explained LR in CCv2. The RC and LG lessons of both CCv1 and CCv2 are the same.

    The new core lessons use LR questions from PrepTests 61-65, so if you're down to your last few clean PTs and they happen to be those, then this probably isn't for you. But if you're not worried about running out of clean PTs, then this is a great opportunity to see what we've been cooking up!

    Can I switch back to Version 1 if I want to?

    Yes! If you would like to switch back to the old Core Curriculum, scroll to the top of our "Syllabus" page and click the "Switch to V1" button. It's next to the "Collapse" button.

    Should I immediately switch?

    We think yes. Since Version 2 teaches Logical Reasoning more efficiently and effectively, we recommend switching to CCv2 completely. Please note that the RC and LG lessons of both CCv1 and CCv2 are the same. What's changed are the Foundations and Logical Reasoning lessons. Additionally, the new lessons use LR questions from PrepTests 61-65, so if you're down to your last few clean PTs and they happen to be those, then this probably isn't for you. But if you're not worried about running out of clean PTs, then this is a great opportunity to see what we've been cooking up!

    I've already completed Version 1. Should I go back and redo Version 2?

    In this situation, the best way to utilize Version 2 is to look at which question types in your analytics you think you should prioritize, and then view the new lessons for that question type. For example, if your analytics say that you should prioritize Sufficient Assumption questions, then go study and review the new lessons on Sufficient Assumptions.

    Version 2 is shorter than Version 1. Should I be worried?

    Not at all! JY has explained the Logical Reasoning lessons in Version 2 in a more efficient manner. The RC and LG sections are still the same.

    I'm around halfway through LR in Version 1. Should I switch over to Version 2 to complete LR, or should I stick with Version 1?

    With where Version 2 is right now, we think you'll get the most out of your studies by switching over. There's no need to redo modules that you've already done, unless you find yourself needing a refresher, but we think that Version 2 approaches LR in a more unified theoretical framework, which can help with your learning process!

    I can't find CCv2 in my Syllabus!

    Email our student services and let them know (studentservice@7sage.com). They can switch your account on the back end.

    Are the lessons in CCv2 fully complete?

    Yes! CCv2 is fully complete and you can use it without switching back to CCv1.

    Why are there no video lessons for the Foundation lessons?

    JY is currently in the process of recording video lessons for the Foundation lessons. Stay tuned for updates on their availability!

    I bought the 7sage core subscription earlier this week and then purchased the LawHub advantage subscription today. When I try to access practice tests on 7sage, I keep getting a message that I have a LawHub account linked, but it's not the advantage subscription. I checked and both accounts are under the same email address. I also tried the trouble shooting tips, but it's still not allowing me access.

    Hey there,

    Anyone interested in virtually body doubling for April's test? We'd zoom while studying separately but the body double aspect helps your brain stay on task. It's like getting the pros of studying in a coffee shop without having to deal with loud talking and spending money every study session. We could also follow the pomodoro method while studying so we have built-in breaks with our study blocks. I just took the January test and I'm waiting until first week of February to resume studying. No official score but the four PTs I've taken ranged from 159-165. I need to buckle down and learn LG until it's second nature for me. Will also be drilling a lot of RC and then toward the end of my prep I'll be doing the PTs in the 80s and 90s.

    I'm Mountain Standard time and during the week I'll be available to study from 7 pm-9 pm. Maybe even 5 am - 6 am as the test gets closer.

    Drop a comment if interested!

    Hi, I finished a 7Sage podcast from two months ago talking about the changes to the LSAT. I heard that there will be a new 7Sage platform at the end of January, so what does that mean if I am currently working in the core curriculum? Will there be a change? Also, there are many more LR questions than the two other sections. Is that intentional?

    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?

    Tips for going faster

    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.)

    1

    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.

    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 know CCv2 is suitable for the August 2024 LSAT given the removal of LG in June 2024, so I should probably pursue CCv2; however, I've already mapped out a 6mo study schedule with CCv1 which has ~820 courses whereas CCv2 has ~540. The minimized course offerings in CCv2 cut out ~2.5 months of study time. This is important because I want to pace my study schedule such that I am prepared for the August 2024 LSAT.

    What's a good way to pursue CCv2 without majorly disrupting my study schedule?

    Perhaps I blend courses from CCv1 and CCv2 to extend the study period or simply add more PTs to my new CCv2 study plan?

    Being behind

    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)

    Question about notes

    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've done the diagnostic and before using 7sage (and now realizing I shouldn't have) I did a few practice tests. I consistently did very well on the LR (-4 to -0) but need some work on the LG and RC. Part of that is because I took formal logic in college which helps a lot with LR. I also saw that the LR section was 120 hours of time where the other two are each 40. Because of this, I thought it was better to try to go through the other two sections of the course, and see how I'm doing on practice tests after that before seeing if I needed to do the LR section.

    But as I'm starting to go through the RC section of the course I'm seeing that there are a couple small references to the LR section. I wanted to see if it's worth going the entirety of the LR course section now or if there are a few specific parts of it that are relevant but not necessarily the entirety. Has anyone else been in a similar situation where they're good at LR but need to work on the other two? Would love any advice people have!

    January 6th Proctored PT

    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:

  • You must register in advance using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwsdemqrD8jHtZG83AxMhu3eYUjoDAzVBXB
  • 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!

    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.
