I was PTing for August before the new formats came out and now all of my old data is locked away in the old format section, including the questions I've already taken. Really unfortunate that I can't see which PT's ive already unsealed when looking at the new formats, need to constantly be switching back and forth. Can you guys please work out a fix to merge progress between new and old formats, specifically which questions we've already done? Annoying I'm paying for 7sage and wasting time on spreadsheets when you guys have all the data #help

I am taking the new LSAT with just LR and RC. Which basleine exam should I take? 7Sage did not direct me to one when I started the curriculum.

Hi! I literally just began studying and am thinking of buying the power score LSAT bibles to supplement my studying. I’m planning on taking the test after August, so should I only get the RC and LR bibles and not the LG bible? Is there any chance that logic games will be included in some capacity even if the official section is gone (and therefore it would make sense to get familiar with the material)?

I suppose this would take a little bit of insider information, but I have received several fee waivers recently from good schools and their site states they won't send fee waivers until they have your lsat? Probably coincidence but would be interested if anybody had any insight.

I've taken a couple of prep tests and haven't really seen any improvement. Should I be drilling more? Go back to lessons? How do you guys make the most out of what 7sage offers and how can I see more improvement? Taking the LSAT in September 2024.

If you have the admissions program for 7sage then you are going to recognize the name Anna Ivey, or at least the book Ivey's guide to Law School Admissions. I was curious as to how a real admissions officer took every part of our applications into consideration and if they could, what honest advice they would have. Anna Ivey is a former admissions officer for University of Chicago Law School (i believe), and when she left to create her own admissions company, she wrote a books giving advice students want when talking to councilors. She talked about everything from what to say about low gpas, and some nuances as far as supplemental statements go, what types of personal statements tend to catch admission officers eyes and talked about the nuances (like making sure you spell resume properly aka résumé). Those things she said really mattered when they make decisions between certain candidates and would matter to schools who don't do interviews like U of Chicago do to get to know the applicants. I HIGHLY suggest reading it because I found it to be incredibly helpful and made me look back over my own résumé (one my career advisor said was good) because it had mistakes in terms of set up and what I didn't use it to do which was have a 'personal section'. I didn't by the higher costing admissions programs that 7sage has because me and my family don't have a great deal of money.

So if you're looking for advice that is low costing I definitely suggest getting her ebook for kindle (you can get the app, it's free for some and my cost a bit for others) but it's totally worth it. I read through the entire thing in about a day and half, if that. I highlighted and made notes too because it was that helpful.

Hey friends,

I’m signed up to take the June lsat and I’m pretty nervous. I’ve have hit my goal score a few times but I am not constantly hitting it yet so I’ve been working hard to improve my timing because that’s where my lower scores tend to come from. Either I get stuck on a logic game or a RC paragraph and will end up with a bad score in one of those sections. I am slowly improving in those areas but here is the kicker…. next week I will be gone for five days on a business trip. On this trip I will be very busy and won’t be able to dedicate the same amount of time that I have been to studying which is fine but I would like to use the limited time I have on this trip to study the most effectively. So, I’m looking for advice on helpful ways to keep my mind sharp and maintain or improve my current understanding. (To be clear, not going on this trip is not an option and I knew that well in advance and have planned accordingly). My plan currently is to print out a bunch of drills and prep test and keep them in my purse so that I can pull them out and work on them any time I have a 15, 20, or 30 minute break. Depending on each days schedule I am aiming to either wake up early and study for 1-2 hours or stay up late and study for 1-2 hours at least a couple of times. Any advice/strategies would be greatly appreciated! Good luck to those of you who are also signed up for the June lsat, may the odds be ever in our favor!

*Also if anyone has any tips for being quick and consistent in RC or LG I’d love to hear it. I’m way better at logic games which is why I’m taking the June test but every once in a while I run into a miscellaneous game that absolutely blows my brain lol.

I started studying for the August 2024 LSAT in January; combo of PTs once a week and essentially the core curriculum (from a local prep company). I was testing pretty consistently around the 160 mark until I started drilling for 4-5 hrs/day on 7sage and BRing, after which I jumped to a 165/166 (first got a 166 at the end of May). Since then, I was testing pretty consistently at that mark for five weeks until randomly two weeks ago I got a 160 (PT84) and last week I got a 159 (PT85) (most of the drop was on LR sections). A lot of things I read online suggested taking a break due to burout (which I've definitely felt), so I took this last week off.

As I jump back into studying this week, I'm just really worried I'm doing something wrong w my test coming up soon. A lot of what I read online last week regarding score drops were for people who had just started the CC and/or had only taken a few practice tests. I've taken 18 full length tests over the last 7 months and drilled hundreds if not thousands of questions outside of tests, so I feel like my situation's a little different. Any suggestions on how to get back to that 165/166 mark / things I should be doing differently? Again, I BR, WAJ, drill, etc.

Thanks in advance!!

not sure how to increase my score i feel stuck

Anyone else struggling taking practice tests under timed conditions? I feel like seeing the timer gives me more anxiety and causes concentration issues. If someone has experienced this and has any tips to overcome this anxiety, let me know.

Hi, please offer your advice! I have now finished LR and RC core lessons - I have no more lessons next. I have decided to take no LG August version, so still have -AMPLE- time to study. I am currently scoring in the low to mid 160's (last PT I scored a 164) and my dream score is 170+. I am extremely determined to get into a T6-T14 and have allocated the time to get my score where it needs to be.

My question is - now that I have finished all the core curriculum... what's next? Should I focus on drilling LR and then RC, work on my problem areas, then begin regularly PTing? Should I switch to books, then go back to 7sage in a few months? I have the Loophole book ready to read. Should I wait to consistently PT until the beginning of Spring to save my tests for when I'm more ready and closer to test date? Should I be focusing on drilling everday? Redo the lessons?

Really just asking what your next steps would be / what your study plan would look like. Any advice is helpful, thanks and good luck to you all!

Hi,

can someone explain why certain lessons are marked on 7sage as optional? I just started the core curriculum. I saw that the first 'optional' one was a cute story/ anecdote and skipping would be fine as it had no bearing on understanding content, but now I'm at the second optional lesson entitled ' For, since, because' and IM confused why it says optional. Does it cover it alter? is it not necessary for LSAT? I'm going to listen to it, but its throwing me off and if someone can please explain why its marked that way it would help.

Thanks!

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?

For law school applications (and future bar admission), how should I go about what jobs I include? I started working at 17, and my first job I was at for really around 4 years, but I quit a couple times and came back, always on good terms and it was a normal thing at that job. There were some jobs after age 18 where I was at for one day, a couple of weeks, or just one week before realizing it wouldn't be a good fit, and I'd find other options. All retail and service jobs, and these short jobs were always outweighed by other jobs that were great experiences. I would just hate to get through law school only to get struck down by the bar for a resume issue.

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?

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!

I'm an idiot. I registered for the LSAT prior to the deadline for November. It asked for a photo and I just uploaded a selfie from a while ago because it was perfect - plain photo background, no shadows, etc. I began to read the requirements and I think I'm screwed. For starters, I lost about 25 pounds since then. Secondly, I shaved my beard about 3 weeks ago so it's not as full. Genuinely worried that my test is not even going to happen because I was being stupid and wasn't thinking carefully. The anxiety is officially through the roof. Not sure what to do.

Passing down all of my LSAT books, including The LSAT Trainer, The Loophole, Powerscore LSAT Bibles, and the 5lb Manhattan Prep book, other LSAT Manhattan Prep books (Reading Comprehension & Logical Reasoning). Prefer pickup in New York—please message me for more details.

Hi!

I am having some trouble at the start of PT to get my head into the test.

Is there any tactics you guys use to get you started? I do warm up with 15q of LR and 2 games.

I feel like its my anxiety mostly that kinda eats me up at the beginning of the test.

hello all! has anyone had the chance to study CC V1 and CC V2 and recommend one more than other? I have taken the LSAT before but I’m studying to take it again so since I am familiar with the test, I was leaning towards V2 to refresh my mind but also want the most detailed. Any suggestions?

!!LONG POST INCOMING!! But I'm pretty lost right now.

I've hit a plateau in my studying where I always get at around 5-6 questions wrong per section because and it's usually just the hardest questions give or take maybe 2 misreads for simpler ones. I know exactly how to each question should be done and answered and I think my biggest issue is that for those hard questions I simply just don't really understand the stimulus and even if I do, the right answer choice sometimes escapes me due to a technicality in wording.

I do run into a bit of an issue with certain question types for sure like weaken or MBT questions. The issue here is that even if I know how to do them and I can get the question right it just simply takes me to long to deduce the right answer. I've been basically trying to drill these question types more often using the filter and also doing more timed practices.

At the same time, I think I also struggle just simply completing the logical reasoning section. I'll range anywhere from 1-5 questions that I simply run out of time for. I try my best to be quick but even at my best I'm left with 2 questions undone. I've seen that some people have time left over to go over previous questions, a speed that seems completely unreachable to me at the moment.

So I guess there are three issues I'm running into and three questions I'm hoping some of you can give me advice on:

I've heard a lot of "just do more questions" and I definitely am but I was wondering if anyone was doing anything specific in terms of drilling or even stuff outside of the LSAT (reading more books/news articles) that you find has helped with your score.

Hey everyone I just started studying for the LSAT I'm not from Toronto but interning here at a law firm for the summer and looking for other people around the area who are also gearing up to take their LSAT. Would love to create a group or find anyone who is looking for someone to study with.
