How long (whether in terms of hours or across a span of days) does it take for you to do the following?

  • Blind reviewing your PTs before checking your score
  • After your PT score reveal, going through video explanations on your missed or flagged questions
  • Drilling before your next PT
  • Overall, time between your PT attempts
  • I ask because it takes me about a month to get through all of this, and that seems much longer than what I hear is recommended. Granted, I am aiming to increase my study time on the weekdays, so that should establish a faster cycle. I currently study an hour per work night, on average. For weekends, about 2-3 hours per day.

    My distribution is something like:

  • 1 week for blind review
  • 1-1.5 week of video explanations
  • 1-1.5 weeks of drilling
  • Overall, 3-4 weeks between PT attempts
  • Open to any tips you all have!

    Hello 7 sagers!

    My name is Jason. I am looking for LSAT study buddy; I've been studied LSAT more than 8 months(but not consecutively). I ran through other LSAT company's books but improved very few points. (Thank god I found 7sage!!)

    I'm prepared for Jun-2015, but I also consider Oct-2015 as well.

    Full-disclosure: English is not my native language(which is Mandarin), and I have never been to the U.S.

    I live in Taipei, Taiwan (GMT+8).

    Anyone who wanna discuss LSAT (via skype) or mentally support each other is welcome.

    Or if you live in Taiwan and are fighting for the LSAT, we can fight together.

    P.S. If you are likely to be distracted in the U.S. while you study, I suggest you come to Taiwan for some advantages:

    1. LSAT June-2015 in Taiwan(Asia-Pacific) is at the end of June, you get two more weeks to prepared.

    2. You may not be bothered(or tempted) by your friends and therefore you can focus on your study.

    3. Living cost in Taiwan is relatively low, and Taiwan is visa-waived for U.S. citizens.

    (3 months for Taiwanese to the U.S., I guess it's same for U.S. citizens.)

    Warning: Taiwan is a great place and you may be tempted by food, people and everything you want to explore. In that case, it may cost you an arm and a leg, and then you won't have time studying the LSAT.

    Look forward to my LSAT partner, just PM me.

    I currently work at a small law office in NYC. A couple of weeks ago, I got accepted into my dream law school and will be enrolling for fall 2025 so my position will be open starting April.

    This role is a perfect opportunity for those preparing to go to law school. It is only part-time so you will be able to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials. Additionally, the role leaves a lot of free time during the work day to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials as well. Another amazing thing about this role is that because you are working in a small law office, there is a lot of room for growth and learning. I truly believe this work experience made a difference in my law school application as I had the opportunity to begin drafting legal documents, learned what I liked/did not like about the field, was able to study for the LSAT during work, and got a great recommendation letter from my boss. A huge plus is that the staff are extremely friendly and flexible.

    If you applied this cycle but are deciding to take another year off or have not yet applied, this might be a perfect opportunity for you. PM me if you are interested - serious inquiries only please.

    Ive taken the time to learn the fundamentals of LR and RC for months. Now I'm drilling non stop based on previous prep test analytics but I'm asking how you to balance studying. Given in a week, approx 4 hrs/daily

    Monday- LR specific Q types

    Tuesday-LR

    Wednesday: RC

    Thursday: RC

    Friday: LR

    Saturday: anything you didn't get done

    Sunday: rest

    How do you balance RC/LR?

    Hi everyone,

    Is there an explanation for why the scaled score varies by 1-2 points from the current test format to the obsolete test format, same raw score? This is reflected in the conversion table on 7sage. For example, -5 is a 174 for X modern PT, but 173 for the corresponding obsolete (but modified - LR, LR, RC, no experimental) PT. Presumably, since the same scored sections are tested (given 7Sage modification), the scaled score should be the same, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

    I made the mistake of taking a test on LawHub under the current test format and manually inputting the answers in the corresponding obsolete (but modified, no LG) 7Sage test. Two different scaled scores were given, 1 point off. I double checked - exact same scored sections. Is this just a matter of adjusting the scaled scores with removal of LG?

    And I assume that I should rely on the current test format's scaled score, correct?

    Hi all! I had been consistently scoring between 165-167 on previous PTs before I took the Nov LSAT, and was incredibly disappointed to when I found out I 160 on it. This is my first time using 7sage and I am taking the January LSAT.

    How in depth should I be studying each LR question type? I'm finding that doing the lessons don't leave me much time for drilling and I'm not sure how to balance it. Would love some advice on how to use the study plan in tandem with drilling and taking sections!

    Thanks :)

    So I just registered for the September 2019 LSAT on BYU's campus. I'm trying to find out where on campus the test is actually administered, but I can't find anything. Is that something that I won't be able to find out until I can print my admission ticket? Any information is appreciated! Thanks!

    Hey everyone,

    I just took the LSAT in November and scored a 147. After studying for 5 to 6 months I was pretty bummed by my score. Since then, I've been grinding and have consistently been scoring between 155 and 158 throughout 8 to 9 practice tests. I was wondering what tactic's you used/ what you studied to get from the mid 150's to the low 160's. I'm taking the test in January again in 4 weeks and am wondering if this is even attainable if I put in 40 hours a week studying. Thanks :)

    Hi all,

    My PT score does not reflect my drill score. I consistently get -0 to -3 on individual LR timed sections (some of these are older tests, some are fairly new). On full PT LR sections, I get around -5/-6, regardless of the order of sections. There have been only a select few times I've gotten -3 or better on LR PTs, but those were a few months ago.

    BR score for LR is usually -1/-3, so I don't think it's a lack of comprehension or understanding of the material...

    Any tips on getting my PT score to better reflect my drilling score? I suspect it's a matter of PT stress, but are there any other major reasons you think there's a difference that I'm overlooking?

    Advice much appreciated, thanks!

    So I improved my LSAT score compared to the the time, I took it without studying 2 years ago (Yes you can laugh!). But it is no where near where it truly needs to be. I am the Austin area and interested in seeking out tutoring to help me get through the logic games especially. I just got 7Sage and before I was doing the Khan Academy self study.

    Anyone find much success limiting (at least at the outset) what you write down during a Logic Game to the second page? My last few games have really improved in time since employing this strategy. I find i write smaller and I refer back to the rules more because they are within my line of sight for almost all of the logic game. It turns out, at least for me, that the LSAC wasn't doing us a favor by changing from one page to 2 pages.

    Hey everyone. When do you recommend I register for the June LSAT? I'm not referring to the scheduling "window" that will open around May. I referring to simply signing up to take it before the April 22 deadline. Is there a difference if I register today or, say, 2 weeks from now?

    This might be a weird question, but I was just wondering if anybody has taken the LSAT at the Texas A&M Commerce location. I am real big on environment so I was wondering if anybody could tell me if it is somewhat loud, if we are sitting in super close proximity with other people, if it was cold, etc. I would like to try to simulate my prep-test environments to what it will be like on the day of - I get distracted very easily with noise, closeness to people, and cold temperatures so I wanted to try to train myself to be ready. Sorry if this is weird!
