Hi! I took my diagnostic yesterday and I am hoping to take the August LSAT. I finished the Arguments section, and I am wondering what the practice test timeline should be? When should I take my first PT after my diagnostic? I know 7sage says to not take more than 1-2 PTs a week, but when should you begin taking them regularly?

PT46 BR Tonight at 8pm EST

Dear friends, did you awaken with a sense of undeniable joy that today is LSATurday? I know I did. Because I, like you, love the LSAT.

If you do not yet love the LSAT or are looking to rekindle the flames of your desire to immolate it by means of your passion, then join us tonight for our group blind review of PT46. We will light your candle, and you ours.

Note on BR groups/how to join/our process

To mix metaphors a bit:

Forgot to put this in the feedback forms, but can we, pretty please, keep office hour classes? I personally find it extremely useful to look at the always excellent questions others bring in, and moreover, we get to look some of more recent questions that understandably are left alone in other classes, which in my humble opinion, makes the fact it's a smaller class the perfect setting. Office hours: small but mighty, please reconsider removing them. Much appreciation (for everything)!

If my plan is to "study" for 12ish hours a week, how is that broken down? Do I do 12 hrs of lessons? Or do I finish a section and then practice questions, live classes, or podcasts for that section? If I do the latter, how much time do I spend on each section, and how do I know when to move on?

I've signed up for the November LSAT but haven't done any PTs in the 80s recently (I did 83 and 84 a long time ago). So for I'm only up to PT 77. Are there any noticeable differences between these two sets?

Hello 7sagers

I have recently finished the CC and also took another diagnostic. Turns out I need more practice on LR sections and LG. With LG I am trying to fool proof some test. But for LR How do you reccomend practicing at this point? Should I just pull LR sections starting from the first PT?

Also, some have reccomended starting in the 50's practice tests as the other tests are older and different - any thoughts on that?

Thanks a lot.

I’d like to take the exam in my living room, but the way to my kitchen is open as is the hallway to my front door. If I taped a curtain over both of these openings, thereby making my living room an enclosed box, would this satisfy the test room requirements? If anyone knows or just has suggestions I’d really appreciate it!

Have you ever found yourself grappling with a complex idea, struggling to understand its intricacies? Whether you're a student tackling a difficult subject or a professional trying to grasp a new concept, simplifying complex ideas can be a game-changer. Fortunately, there's a systematic approach you can follow to break down even the most intricate concepts into manageable chunks. In this article, we'll explore a four-step guide to simplifying complex concepts effectively.

Step 1: Grasp the Core Idea

Every complex concept has a core idea at its heart. Your first task is to identify and understand this central concept. Start by breaking down the concept into its simplest form. What is it trying to explain or convey? What problem does it solve? Once you grasp the core idea, you'll have a solid foundation to build upon.

PLEASE help! I seem to be missing all weakne questions and I don't know what to do anymore. I tried everything!

Proctors: Laid back and professional. Although, for one of the sections they forgot to call out the 5 minute warning... good thing I had my watch.

Facilities: Clean, comfortable, easily accessed. I walked from my apartment but there are parking facilities on campus so driving shouldn't be difficult. Brought a sweater but didn't need it -- comfortable temperature.

What kind of room: Lecture hall.

How many in the room: 30-40

Desks: Long tables. We were spaced about two chair lengths apart.

Left-handed accommodation: N/A but wouldn't have been a problem since it was tables not desks.

Noise levels: There was camp for young kids going on next door and they were incredibly loud but none of the sound came through the walls. We could only hear it during the break and beforehand.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 30 minutes.

Would you take the test here again? Oh hell yeah. Ideal conditions in my opinion.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: June and July 2018.

Proctors: 1

Facilities: Nothing noticeable bad. Building was bigger, but was able to find the restrooms pretty easily.

What kind of room: Took the exam in one of two small lecture-style auditoriums.

How many in the room: 25-30

Desks: Auditorium seating with swivel-up desks.

Left-handed accommodation: Possibly.

Noise levels: In general the building and class room was parking.

Parking: Though parking could have been an issue given the area, I had no trouble parking on campus relatively close to the building.Did not have to pay to park. I got there pretty early to find a spot, and saw several.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Took about 25 minutes for everyone to line up and get assigned a room.

Irregularities or mishaps: None. Everything went smoothly.

Other comments: Things were very calm and went smoothly.

Would you take the test here again? I would probably prefer a place with bigger desks. I had to store my stuff on the ground or the seat next to me. Would have been nicer to be able to spread more.

Date[s] of Exam[s]:February 2015.

Please come join us on discord, things are about to kick off into pretty high gear for June, the hundreds of already there would love for you to join us, if you haven’t already. Please pass on the link to anyone you think might also benefit:

There isn't a particular question type that I consistently struggle with, but I tend to miss 3ish in the last 10 on LR and I'm wondering what people's strategies are. I went -4/-3 in September and I'm realistically aiming for -2/-2 in December. Should I just focus on slowing down? Double check the answer against the prompt? I'm usually at question 15 by 15 minutes in, and question 20 by 25 minutes in.

How will 7Sage be affected by LSAC maintenance scheduled from 7/11 - 7/13 and 7/24 - 7/28? Will we still able to practice test / drill? If not, what can we do to ensure we have study material during these outages in service?

Hi folks,

Im new to this whole lsat business. In fact, I've been putting off starting studying because...we'll, frankly, I'm not entirely sure what to do? I took a diagnostic and got a 163 but im not sure where to go from there. Do I just start drilling? I understand the basic logic behind the questions just fine, I think. Its just a good number tripped me up, so I dont think I need introduction to the base concepts.

As soon as I start to read questions my brain starts to melt and mush. I have to reread the first sentence so many times to actually dial in, and beyond that point I usually have to read the who stimulus/passage 3-5 times to actually have a grasp of it. I feel like I cannot process the information fast enough and that has been the issue for me for some time.

I'm embarrassed to say it but with the time allotted (35min) I usually can only finished about 10-12 questions per section. The only way I can actually finish a section is by skimming and guessing. I actually got some time accommodations (thankfully), but I am only able to finish a few more questions with the extra time. I leave about 9 questions blank.

I feel very insecure about how my brain works and how my processing speed is regarding this stuff. Does anyone have experience with this? I have the KNOWLEDGE, and I have the SKILLS & TOOLS (I could use of course more practice), however I'm worried about my inability to apply what I know, because in order for me to apply my skills I have to be able to READ and FOCUS and PROCESS quickly!! Help? Tell me I'm not alone...

Hello. This is my first post here.

I studied for three years a Dual Degree in Law and Political Science in my home country Spain; left unfinished because I moved to the USA. Then, once in the USA, I applied for a private school, undergrad (Green Card holder - I am, thus, not an "international student"). After one year and a half, my family could not handle the burden of increasing debt, so I transferred to a more affordable school option. I have two semesters (one year, obviously) left.

My question is: when applying to Law School, will LSAC include my grades from Spain in order to calculate the GPA? According to the LSAC: "... LSAC makes no attempt to assess the value of grades earned at different colleges (outside the US/Canada system)".(https://www.lsac.org/applying-law-school/jd-application-process/cas/requesting/transcript-summarization).

I know that LSAC requests all transcripts from undergraduate, so of course they will be getting the transcript from Spain; however. The question is not about the transcript, but rather about the grades, are these grades, earned abroad, counted or not?

The school I am at now does report earned Spanish credits, but does not include the grades to my GPA.

I honestly hope these Spanish grades do not count because I did better in the USA than in Spain...

Thank you.

Wondering if anyone else has this issue of answering then doing blind review and your first answer is right but you then doubt it and overthink and choose a wrong one. How much does intuition play into this test

Did 7sage somehow update or change their "Preptest Sections to show" part of their drilling mode? I'm so confused. For a long time the sections were divided into four drilling modes: "Core curriculum" and then three other sections of prep tests. Now it has four sections different from before: "Recommended for PTs", "Used in Core Curriculum", "Recommended for PTs", and "All Prep Tests (101-158)". I was keeping track of my progress and what I had gotten done the way it was previously set up. I was working my way through all of the core curriculum drills. Now, some of these drills are either all gone or have a bunch new added. This is kind of annoying? It's all differently organized now and I can no longer tell which levels of difficulty from which section (RC or LR) I've completed. Did I press something to make it appear this way or is this a new update that will permanently stay?

I happened to take a prep test early on in my practice here on 7sage, I then thought I took a different one on Lawhub a few months later but I actually repeated the same one, is it possible for my to upload that score manually still? Like can I have a prep test have two pseperate score from two separate testing sessions with out deleting one? Just curious?

I have called and emailed the company several times, I have done everything on my end including the cookies and flash but the video and audio continue to skip. I have not had this problem in the past. When is the nest session the last one was aug 12? Thank you, M

Hey 7Sagers!

My name is Jake Baska and I'm one of the admissions consultants here at 7Sage. Just FYI that I'll be doing an AMA tomorrow on the Law School Admissions sub-Reddit over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/new/. It'll be from 11AM - 1PM Eastern. Come on by, ask a few questions, maybe give my ridiculous gif-game a kind upvote, etc.

Where do I find my confirmation number? If you are taking the August 2025 exam, does anyone already have there's already?

Out of curiosity, are any other Alaskans taking the June LSAT? I'm always seeing the DC/NY/Cali study groups, but the non-contiguous US is woefully underrepresented.

I'm completely new to the LSAT and wanted to approach it alongside others who are also just starting out. I don’t plan to take the LSAT in June, but I’m aiming for the next available test date after that since I’m applying for Fall 2027. LMK if anyone is down to create some type of group chat
