Hi everyone,

As you may already know, the site went down yesterday, June 8th, at 3:20pm EDT and did not fully recover until 4:30pm EDT.

It was due to the introduction of a piece of third-party code into the website. That code had been working without issue on our Bar Prep site (7sage.com/mbe) for a few days. We decided to activate the same code for the LSAT site (7sage.com) but it unexpectedly swamped our database with 300x it's normal load. We noticed immediately and started trying to revert the change. However, the load on the database made it very hard to do so. We partially reverted it after about 25 minutes, and it wasn't fully reverted for another 45 minutes.

Here is a timeline of what happened:

3:20pm EDT - Site went down

3:20pm EDT - Problem is noticed and we start trying to fix it

3:45pm EDT - Changes are partially reverted on some servers and slow access is restored for some students

4:30pm EDT - Site fully restored for all students

We are so sorry for the outage! We know that preparing for the LSAT is stressful, and we hate any outage, even just for a minute, let alone for 70 minutes. Our deepest apologies.

If you have any questions, concerns, or issues please reach out to us at studentservice@7sage.com.

Hi all! Does anyone have any wrong answer journals or LSAT checklist templates for curriculum V2 (for those taking the LSAT after June 2024)? I would love to keep track of my answer choices and progress and just started the logical reasoning section. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

This is the one I was previously using, but no longer works since I switched to V2: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpOWHerIw8RBo1PbgIJtN9wIpIKpTl3SFClYzaEBsIo/edit#gid=0

I will have 70 days to the April 25th LSAT following the end of the curriculum. I would like to know which practice tests to focus on and how to structure my tests and blind reviews.

I started studying more than a year ago but it was more sporadic because I had to deploy but now I'm in my transition and have really kicked up my hours and consistency with more than 6-7 hours everyday. I previously did a few of the older tests and was hitting low 150's while using Kahn. My knowledge base has definitely expanded and Im happy I choose to use this platform instead, with it's emphasis on nailing the basics.

It's nothing for me to do a test in the AM and then blind review and everything else in the afternoon. I would like to know if this is a recommended method. Is there any that has particularly worked for someone?

I'm thinking that the minimum amount of practice tests that I want to do is 20-30

I would also like to know which practice tests are more relevant since some of the older questions have been phased out on here and I've always heard from JY while going through the curriculum that "questions like this don't appear on the LSAT anymore".

Finally...if there are any tips that anyone is willing to give me, I'd be happy to accept!

I also posted this under "General" because the April 25th LSAT date was not a choice :/

Thank you all!

Hey y'all, is anyone in Philly looking to study together/create a study group? I'm planning on taking the June 2015 exam, I've been studying for about 3 months with the LSAT Trainer and just started the 7sage program. I am happy to share the Trainer and compare methods. Let me know if you are in the area and want to meet up and study/review/discuss either the test in general or specific questions and PTs. Good luck to everyone!

Hey! Perhaps a silly question, but is there a tool on the drills page to draw things out for LR questions? I have been searching for a pen tool to map things out, but I only have access to highlighters.

Hi guys, I took my first LSAT this past Saturday aiming to break 170, but realistically, I think I probably scored more within the low-mid 160s. My target schools are Berkeley, UCLA, and NYU. I'm planning to retake the LSAT in December and I'm hoping to get in my application by the end of October. My question is whether it's better to apply with a cancelled LSAT score or whether it's better to apply with a low LSAT score (as compared to the medians at those three schools). Are there any disadvantages of applying with a low LSAT score? Will they not consider my application because of the low score? My GPA is 3.7 and I'm an international student (Canada), if that information is relevant. Thank you in advance for your help!

How would I calculate mine? Would someone be willing to help me. My general GPA wasn’t very great.

If I knew I wanted to go to law school in undergrad I would have stuck around longer to raise my cumulative before I graduated.

I had a mental health crisis one semester in undergrad due to a bad reaction to antidepressant medication, and tried to petition my university to remove them off my transcript with no luck.

I’m hoping my CAS gpa is better.

Hi everyone,

I'm tired of downloading and printing out each file, don't know why but it takes forever to download each PT.

Is there a giant compiled PT so I can just download it overnight and print out all at once?

Thank you.

I'm planning on taking the September LSAT but would like to take a diagnostic exam before I start the bulk of my studying. Which practice test would people recommend I take as a diagnostic?

I have a subscription with 7Sage & was able to link my account since I got this account in June. But now it's saying I have to purchase another subscription?? I have been able to access drills since the beginning but, today it's giving me issues. Can someone assist me with this issue?

Today only, my blind review keeps telling me that I got 0% even when I get the answer correct. Additionally, this isn't an issue with time. On a few I've been over time, however, most I have been under time and it continues to happen. What is going on

Apologize in advance for the number of "should I cancel?" posts likely to arise after the score release yesterday, but I haven't been able to find any direction for my specific scenario. After taking the test in September and receiving a 169, I just received a 165 on the October exam. I completely understand that these are both great scores, but, given my situation and family obligations, I really need to strive for every single dollar I can possibly receive from law schools to alleviate the financial burden.

Question is - Do you think it would be smart to cancel the 165, given that I already have a higher score? Or is it not worth it with respect to how admissions officers will generally view a cancellation? Any help would be highly appreciated. Taking the test again next week and hoping/planning to score in the mid-170s.

Thanks to @Pacifico and @nicole.hopkins for letting me know that sometimes people get added to group message threads in the private message / inbox feature of the discussion forums, can't leave, and are destined to receive every message posted to that group in the future!

Sorry if that's been causing you problems! We put in some changes so that you can edit opt out and remove yourself from group messaging threads. Just go to the message thread you want to leave and tap on the big blue button on the left labeled "Remove from thread". I hope this helps!

The deadline for the June 2014 LSAT is May 6th for the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean! Register soon if you're still intending on taking it for June! Just a happy reminder for my fellow 7sagers!

i took my first two PT (other than my diagnostic) over a year ago after about 2 weeks of studying using the powerscore books, and scored a 165 and 168 respectively (which i know are more than decent!). i took a break from studying since school & work were super busy. i started up again earlier this month with 7sage and am planning to take it in september, but i feel like i'm not improving at all or even getting worse, especially in LR. my LR scores are almost the same as my initial diagnostic and two PTs last year. when i revise my wrong answers, i feel like i grasp the individual question but am unable to reapply the theories/methods elsewhere.

i'm aiming for a score in the low 170s. any advice for this kind of plateau—or should i just keep at it and be patient (i am a very impatient person when it comes to my studies)? or should i change up my method (slow down w the curricula, drill more, etc.)? i've just been going through the curriculum and i'd say i am about 70% through.

sometimes i feel like i just need to chill and take everything in but i physically cannot be chill in general. and comparing myself to my diagnostics last year & how quickly i made progress back then makes me a little frustrated. this post is a bit long but if there's any advice for how to better frame my studies/approach in general, i would really appreciate it.

I wanted to share mine. I frequently look at the law school numbers website to see who's been accepted, how much money has been awarded and etc. I see scores better than my official score, but much lower than my PT scores (either having worse gpas if not exactly the same) getting accepted and even with some scholarship pocket money. I was given a second chance to re-apply to my first choice if I can improve on my June exam. My blood boils at the fact that I can do so well but under performed when it counts, this motivates me to keep going, even when mentally fatigued (I don't mean burnt out.) To clarify I mean that if I've set up an agenda for that day I don't allow myself to fall short OR do it half-assed. GAAA I'm so angry! Fortunately this makes me a crap ton more motivated to keep going and noticing my improvement makes it all more enjoyable! If anyone else wants to share their take please feel free! I just had to let this out!

I see sections such as "kick it up" and "math" under the drill builder. Possibly a bug but curious to know if this means something for the future.

Hi! So I am planning on taking the August lsat because I have decided to not study LG anymore, as it was my weakest. I am about 80% done with LR and then have all 77 RC lessons, which I don't expect will take more than a month or two. Obviously, I have a long time to study, but I know that the drilling sessions and PT sessions are meant to be taken after you complete all the lessons. I do not want to waste clean, unused material before I can make the most of it (aka, until I've done all my LR and RC lessons). However, on the other hand, I want to make sure I am practicing enough without JY's help always being available. I also want to test myself on the LR typesI learned weeks ago.

My question is - should I not be creating drills (other than the "you trys"and drills at the end of each lesson set) until after I have completed all my lessons, or do you recommend doing some infrequent drilling on question types I'm not doing well on? My fear is that since I have given myself ample study time, I want to save as much material as I can for when I really am trying to master my skills, not build them.

Would love to hear other people's study patterns and whether or not they go through the entire syllabus before using the drill or PT pratice options.

Thanks all! good luck with your studies

edit - I should note that I am working full time as a paralegal on top of studying, so although I have until August, I am only devoting between 1-3 hours a day and sometimes I do not study on the weekend much.

I am studying for the August LSAT, trying to make it consistently into the mid 170s. I average about -3 to -4 on RC and -1 to -3 on LR. What would be your recommendations to try to consistently go -1/0 on LR and bring RC consistently to -3 or better.

Hi all- I seem to be getting more questions wrong in my first section than the following sections regardless of being LR or RC. I noticed a consistent 5 question difference. Is anyone else having a similar issue? Any ideas on how to improve this issue

Hi friends, new learner here! I'm on the Skill Builder section of the Complex Arguments foundational lessons (https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/skill-builder-complex-arguments/) and am quite lost on how to parse out Question 5.4:

"We see that our village solely trains personnel for specific trades. These individuals' lives would change dramatically if the programming failed. So it follows, proposition to build a new enterprise—although challenging—truly has merit. Sure a blacksmith center in the village after some sweat, monetary donations, and perseverance might be a reality. It just seems making a pitch for a blacksmith center really matters."

I've been reading and re-reading this question trying to figure out A) what this passage is even saying [it doesn't make sense to me!], and B) how the premises/conclusions were determined.

My initial reaction was the following:

Appreciate any help here! TY :-)

Hi everyone! I just wrote the November LSAT, and after 5 months of religiously studying I unfortunately feel like I didn't do the best... I am planning to sign up for January or February LSAT, In hopes of applying for the fall 2024 cycle. I really didn't want to have to wait another cycle! Is taking the February LSAT too late to apply? I hear mixed opinions, and all the schools I'm applying to priority deadline is March 15. I really wanted to have my LSAT scores and apply before Christmas but I'm afraid I'm looking at other options. Your input would be greatly appreciated!!!

When I go to the syllabus page it states that it cannot connect to my lawhub prep course after purchasing the bundle on this site. Please help.

I'm sure I'm not alone in using 7Sage's LSAT Analysis tools AFTER taking and grading my own PTs.

For those of us who do, as we improve, it starts to become more of a hassle for us to enter all our correct answers in the PT Grader.

Why not offer an option to only enter the answers you got wrong? It would save anyone averaging 160+ a significant amount of time.
