I am looking for a group of individuals who would like to work together during the blind review process. I attend Fordham University and I can get us a small study room with a white board and everything else that is needed. Looking for a dedicated and serious bunch of people who are ready to kill the LSAT together!
Greetings Fellow Sagers.
Wanted to share this anyone who might find it helpful.
hi, after taking the LSAT last August I am gearing up to take it again. I have done most of the course work on 7sage but tried to take a practice exam recently and realized I had forgotten a lot. I want to know what is the best strategy for studying, should I begin the course from scratch and watch all the videos?
Hi, does anyone know if you withdraw before they make a decision, if they'll still have access to my files and if they'll pull them up in the next cycle, even though I would've withdrawn my application before they get a chance to look at it during this cycle?
In the link below, can someone explain number 8? The comments don't provide a clear answer, and I have no idea what it means. It makes no sense how dull means "placing demands on readers" to me

Hi my name is Mark, I'm the father of a cute 1 year old, married and I work full time in the Army. I'm asking for something really unlikely but hey it's worth a shot :) I'm looking for a tutor who can help me for free via the messaging system here on 7S or communicate through non-live chat, mainly due to my constantly changing military and family obligations. I'm PT'ing at about 160, BR'ing in the low 170's and I have an intense drive to hit that 170!! :D I wake up early to study before work, study over lunch, and I hit the library after work if my wife has a handle on the crazy 1 year old. I really want to go to Stanford or Harvard and I know I can do it!!! I just need a little help to get there.
I'm taking the November LSAT but I plan on taking at least 2 more LSATs next spring and summer.
Currently I need the most help with descriptive weakening, necessary assumption, parallel flawed method of reasoning, and most strongly supported. I totally suck at LG but I'm working through foolproofing and my RC is usually -7.
Any tips / help is much appreciated and if someone is willing to help out or give tutoring a shot, I'd absolutely appreciate it. Thanks :)

Has this happened to anyone? Will I have to retake it? THIS SUCKS.
Hi. My name is Juan and I'm starting this new discussion in hopes of connecting with others that suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder and are taking the LSAT with accommodations. If there is anyone in the community that would like to share their experiences, tips or support on how to succeed on the LSAT while having this disorder, I and I'm sure many other will appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have just received an email from Wake Forest requesting that I complete a video interview. I wonder if anyone else has gone through this experience that could give me a heads up on what to expect? Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,
I am just beginning my LSAT study journey and working through Foundations in V2 of the CC. For the quizzes such as complex arguments, for, since, because and others how many times have you guys retaken the quizzes to get the correct answers?
Here is what I am doing:
If I get the question right on the first try I do not retake the question. However, if I get it wrong, I retake the quiz and answer the questions until I get them correct twice.
What do you guys advise?
Does anyone want to meetup at the LSAC forum. I am unsure what to do exactly.
Figured it might be nice to meet up with people before/while attending this event.
Hello! I took the June 2023 LSAT and got a score I'm really happy with, but I am looking to retake in August so I can score a few points higher, which will hopefully put me above the median LSAT for a few of my top schools. I've been taking PTs (both timed and untimed) and reviewing them, however I can't seem to get a score above the mid-160s. Any advice on how to break out of this plateau? I'm not really sure what my next move should be.
I am registered to take the Aug LSAT and been "prepping" since April. Today I took another full length test (3rd one so far), and scored a 159 which is my highest score yet and a 4 point increase from my first practice test that I took at the beginning of April. In that time, I have been focusing mostly on LGs with some LR (necessary assumptions, flaw, and POI mostly). The majority of my improvement came from LGs, went from went from 13 incorrect to 7 incorrect. My LR score has stayed consistent across all three practice tests (around 60% correct), and my RC score has decreased from 100% to around 80%.
My target score is 167. Does that sound realistic based on my current progress? or would ~163-5 be more attainable? Also, what area should I focus on most to generate the greatest score increase in the remaining study time that I have? One item of note, because of a change in more work schedule, I have ~10 more hours to study per week that I have had in the previous months. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hey Guys!
I took the Feb LSAT and score a 159, which was an underperformance for me.
I'm now PT'ing in the high 160s (my last two PTs were 169 and 168).
My goal score is 170+
Any suggestions on how to maintain momentum to make sure I perform at or above this score?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions :)
Hey gang,
I'm on the verge of taking my timed PTs. I figure I will take my first PT, see my weakness, drill with the question bank, and then resume PTs (if anyone else has any suggestions on how to do this, please feel free). My main question is this: How often should I take PTs? I have a full time job and little one so I don't exactly have the ability to PT between the hours of 9-4. Should I just PT on the weekend? Or should I aim to take a PT after dinner some nights in addition to the weekend? If the idea is to take the PTs with consistency and do it in the morning, I will only have openings on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Is this sufficient or should I try and get some PTs in before I go to work? I work from home so it's not that unrealistic to do, but this would mean me taking PTs starting at like 5 in the morning.
Thanks in advance!
Firstly, thank you thank you thank you 7Sage! I scored above my expectations and even beat my PT average which I was already happy with. This was my first time taking the LSAT so I busted my back with 7Sage every day for 8 months and it was worth it. So everyone dragging their feet through this preparation process, keep going and don't give up. You're with the best.
Secondly, does anyone know when LSAC officially releases scores? I've been getting emails from schools I've applied to saying they're still waiting on LSAC to release December scores before they can review, even though I got my score back last night.

Proctors: They were friendly. Did their job well in keeping everybody separated by one chair between each test taker and verified materials that were brought into the room.
Facilities: Test Center was located off campus in a small strip mall in a small building owned by the school. Clean and comfortable but kind of chilly. Take a sweater.
What kind of room: it was a big open room with various long tables as opposed to desks. There were about 5 test takers at each table with a chair in between each.
How many in the room: I think there were about 25 people
Desks: None, just long tables.
Left handed accommodations: Not sure what this means but, ok,sure.
Parking: ample parking.
Time elapsed from arrival to test: about 20 minutes
Irregularities or mishaps: I initially thought the test was on campus so I was wandering around campus looking for the test center. When I finally arrived to the testing center, they said it was off campus. I was almost late. Another thing that happened was that some guy showed up without a passport photo. He wanted to leave to go get a picture as required and they would not let him because he would have been late. He was unable to test that day.
Would you test here again?: no, I took my LSAT the first time here and the second time I went about a half hour further to get to another testing center. I'll review that one later.
Date of Exam: June 2015
Hi,
I am currently getting mid 150+ and am taking the January exam in 10+ days. My goal for this exam is 160. (Ultimately aiming for 167-170 by May).
Every time I do the digital preptest and BR, I get at least 12-15+ correct question difference.
I am wondering if the difference is majorly because one's on digital and the other is on digital/paper.
I do would like those differences to be reflected on my actual preptest.
Any suggestion?
Hi all,
I'm looking for one or more study buddies who are scoring in the 170s on PTs and trying to get from great to near-perfect. I'm mostly in the 173-176 range right now, and plan to start studying "full-time" tomorrow for the September test. My GPA wasn't stellar, so I'm looking for a 178+ on the day of reckoning.
I love, love, love the analytics tools here, especially the strength and weakness charts, and think it would be really helpful to talk through questions with others of similar aptitude. (Necessary assumption: Some people have strengths where I have weaknesses, and vice versa!)
Is anyone interested?
Thanks!

Hey all! I am really stuck in trying to figure out how this is used in causation questions. Is there a specific lesson dealing with this notion? Or are the explanations embedded in the causation explanation videos?
Thanks!

I got my October LSAT reassigned to the Grand Hyatt New York. Has anyone taken it there before? How was it?
