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.

Looking for someone to study with for the June 2014 LSAT. I've been studying awhile for this test, so I have most of the concepts down. I'm in the Midwest, so please consider different time zones. Thanks.

Alex.

Ok, so I have been pondering this for a while but haven't posted anything because well...I've been embarrassed. I started initially studying for the LSAT about 3 years ago, at first I didn't realize how serious this test was so I kind of just went into Barnes and Noble and bought run of the mill LSAT Prep Books, a Kaplan book and even an LSAT Prep book for Dummies(smh) at the time I was working full time teaching high school in Miami. Fast forward to the fall of 2016 I started to get a little more serious, I bought the LSAT Trainer and thinking that I would have more time on my hands in the spring of the year while I was still teaching (wth) I signed myself up for an in-person Testmasters course. Testmasters was pretty great except for the cost and the fact that I didn't actually have the time to work on the assigned homework outside of class. After this I decided to move back home and find a job that would allow me the time to focus on studying for this exam, I loved teaching, but it can be extremely taxing and I didn't believe it would allow me the time to do what was necessary for this test. This past winter I was attempting to self-study by using practice tests and drilling, but I realized that I really need video explanations to help me improve and a schedule to follow to keep me on track so I spent a bucket of cash to extend my Testmasters course for the December 2017 test. I though about extending it again but I realized 1.) I wasn't getting explanations for the all the questions I needed, often times I would have to ask "academic support" and wait a day for a response and 2.) the courses were only for 2-3 increments, I am still working full time and while I plan to study full time during the summer, I don't have the time to do so now.

I am posting this because I really need some advice, if someone asked me to run analytics on my LSAT profile I would definitely say that TIME is my biggest issue. I was always the last person finishing a test in high school and college, I may have gotten everything right, but I definitely didn't race to the finish line. I have a good grasp of the basics, and how to approach the different types of questions in LR and focusing on structure in RC. I would definitely say Logic Games are my weakness, but I would also say that Reading Comprehension is the section on which I need to increase my speed the most. Keeping that in mind I have been thinking about focusing on Fool Proofing until I reach -0 on Logic Games and starting the Premium course to get myself on a schedule for RC and LR.

I was originally thinking about doing the June 2018 LSAT but I am off during the summer so I though this would be a great opportunity to focus on studying full time to take the July or September test, but I want to put myself on a schedule now rather than leaving my intense studying until the summer; I also want to keep things fresh so I don't have to go back and re-teach myself key lessons.

What do you guys think? I want to focus on Fool Proofing using the Pacifico Method until I am able to consistently score -0 in LG but I also don't want to forget the skills for LR and RC. Should I put off PT-ing until I have been able to reach -0 in LR/LG and RC? Or am I thinking about this totally wrong? My apologies if this seems confusing my your help is much appreciated!!!

Hi, I've been trying to avoid using phones or other electronics except for my basic kindle, but now have a problem with proctor since it seems like I can't put mp3 files in the basic Kindles anymore.

Does anybody know of a lsat proctor on audible?

Hey all,

Help me decide when to write, please.

I am currently scoring 150-152 when timed. I would like to score high 160s. That’s realistic, right? I have been studying since the beginning of June.

If anyone has any suggestions at all on the path I should take please let me know. I’m mostly applying to Canadian universities (maybe 1 or 2 American ones). I am also a horrible test taker. Sorry my mind is all over the place right now, I don’t know what I should do!

Has anyone taken the LSAT in the Las Vegas Fiesta Henderson Hotel before? If so, how was it?

Fellows who have been accepted to Cardozo law plz DM me. Thanks!

Looking for a study buddy anywhere in Calgary or in the world .

Once I put in info for a recommender, can I change the info, like change the email? (If it's before I sent out the email)

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.

Hi folks,

I was wondering if one should expect to eventually be able to score 179-180 consistently in BR and if the fact that I'm not able to do so mean I still have theory to learn.

What's up guys! After finishing the CC, how did you approach studying for the logical reasoning section? What worked? What didn't work? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone! I’m trying to decide whether I should write a GPA addendum and how to write it!

Basically I took two year long college level courses in my senior year of High school through a local community college in an attempt challenge myself academically, but received a few C’s. However, around November two months after the courses my abusive brother attempted to kill me. While the event itself was obviously traumatic (I’m okay!) it was really what happened following that affected me and my GPA. I was still expected and did to live in the same house as him. (It was our family home along with my mother.) I also had to decide whether to press charges against him not only affecting me, but my mother as well. All of this caused me extreme stress and the inability to focus in school subsequently leading to the poor grades. Although during this time I was still able to graduate and be accepted to college which allowed me to move away and out of the situation. Afterwards I was able to dedicate my time to academics and received mostly A’s and B’s with roughly a 3.6 for my undergraduate GPA. I’m hoping this shows that it was just the extenuating circumstances that caused the C’s but I’m worried about the affect they will have on my LSAC GPA.

I wam wondering if I should write an addendum explaining what happened and the affect it had on my GPA/performance. Clearly the two C’s don’t represent my academic ability, but don’t know whether to write one or not. I also don’t know how to go about writing an addendum, I understand they should be concise and factual but don’t want to come across as if I’m asking for pity. I feel as though “My brother attempted to kill me and I genuinely could not focus in class” is a bit harsh/blunt and don’t want to make adcoms uncomfortable.

Thanks for any help!

Hi all!

When I went through the 7sage curriculum I remember there were nice flowchart study sheets linked to some of the lessons, but I can't seem to find a lot of them. Does anyone have the link to the extensive LR and conditional reasoning one?

1. How far back is safe for me to take real LSATs? A little bit ago I read somewhere that anything before 40 is too different and can throw you off slightly. Spare me the preferences c-rap unless its insightful. Obviously there are obvious pros and cons to taking them all or just taking the last 30 for accuracy. I just want to know when the major changes in the test occurred. Thanks :)

2. People be crazy on here, studying for a year plus (aka I'm jealous of your planning and dedication and determination). I'll be putting in 4 months total, three months super serious like 50 hours a week minimum. I fully expect to get a 170+. I don't believe in PTing until I've finished all my coursework (Trainer, 2 Powerscores, and Cambridge drills 40 - 61, so I can't back this claim up whatsoever. After I finish I'll be doing at least 51-73/74 PTs, and probably 10 hours with a tutor. (Yes, I am totally fine with doing a PT a day). My point is this: Don't believe the gentle haters that so politely tell you can't or that you need more time. You got this, I got this. Watch a shia labeouf satire video and read a quote about persistence and necessary failure.

3. twoscoopsofpoop, seriously. I'm bearded balding overweight and I've accomplished all this at only 20. I'm totes down to study anything in the trainer now, or powerscores and PT/BR (not sure what BR means) starting Friday. Have a nice day, smiley face.

Hello 7sagers, I am looking for your advice please!

I am currently working on FPing my way through LG and working on overconfidence errors in LR. For LR specifically, I maintain a journal where I write down question I got wrong and learn a lot from. Does anyone else do this/ some variation of it? Could you please tell me how often you go through those questions again and how you incorporate that into your study plans?

I currently have filled up a lot of pages with questions I have done, but I'm not really sure how I can go about reviewing them back again.

Thank you so much!!

if I pin a question while doing a LR problem set, where can find it to revisit it again?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been studying for the LSAT consistently but inconsistently for about a year now. I started in the low to mid-140s and have since climbed into the 150s, but I’m aiming to break into the 160 to 165+ range by the September test.

By “consistently but inconsistently,” I mean that I’ve tried to study as regularly as possible, but I haven’t had a full two-week stretch of uninterrupted, focused prep during that time. Due to personal life changes, working 20 to 30 hours a week, and maintaining some extracurriculars post-grad, my schedule has been pretty fragmented. I know this has likely contributed to my score plateau.

Right now, I usually try to complete one timed LR section and one timed RC section per week, along with some drilling and review. I also keep a wrong answer journal, although it sometimes feels tedious and time-consuming. For resources, I’ve used The LSAT Trainer for RC, completed the 7Sage curriculum last summer, and worked through The Loophole.

At this point, I’m feeling a bit frustrated that my score has been stuck in the low 150s for a few months. If any of you have broken through a similar plateau in a short time frame (1 to 2 months), I’d really appreciate any tips. Whether it’s study schedules, habits, tricks, or anything else that helped you see a jump, I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance, and best of luck to everyone studying right now!

Hello! I am unsure when I should take the LSAT so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently a rising junior in college in New York, and I live in CA. I have just started studying for the LSAT, and I prefer to take it in California, not in New York, so that limits the months I can take it. As a student-athlete, I am pretty busy during the school year. Should I use this summer, the upcoming school year (25-26), and next summer to study so I can take it next July or August (2026)? Does this seem like a reasonable plan?

This will be my first time taking it, so I'm wondering if my second time should be the summer after senior year of college/after I graduate, when I am hopefully working as a paralegal or something (before I apply to law school). Idk, I have not really thought out when I should take it a second time. Lmk what you guys think!

Thanks in advance for the input!

hi! posted this on the new forum as well, but in case it didn't cross-post:

looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

I’m based outside the U.S., currently prepping for law school apps (Fall 2025 cycle), and already took my first official test. I’d love to connect more directly with international test takers. If you're also studying for a retake, want to share strategies, or just need mutual accountability comment if you're in!

Hello Everyone,

I just finished to core curriculum and I have a very good understanding of all the concepts. This is just for LR but I took an untimed section just to make sure I have a fundamental understanding of all the concepts and got 24/25. I feel like now I should start drilling and doing practice exams. Can anyone share how they built a study plan like this after the CC. Also how did that help you? If you could go back and give some advice to yourself in my shoes what would you say?

Thanks so much for all your help!

Can we lay the tablet flat on the desk/table? It makes a big difference for me in reading comprehension.
