Hi everyone! I just took the July flex (my first time). It felt good overall (not terrible, not great) and I went into the exam assuming I would register for the August flex as well. However, now that I've thought about it does it make more sense to not do August and potentially register for October?

August deadline to register is July 15th, but July flex results don't come out until July 30th leaving me in kind of a limbo until the end of July. If I register now for August and I end up being happy with my July score then I'm out $150. I guess I'm just wondering if there's a general rule of thumb to not register for your next exam until you get your results back?

Background info: Aiming for 170+ and have been scoring between 168-178 in recent PTs (all over I know :/). I'm a teacher so I will be two weeks into the school year for August test and a month+ for October. I want to apply relatively early to be considered for merit scholarships so I don't know if October is too late to take it?

I need a tutor to improve my LSAT.Thanks !

Does anyone have a strategy for the LSAT flex? I was just going to skip one of the LR sections when taking the test. Then go back and do it after I finish the test. Does anyone know if 7Sage is working on a flex option?

Hi guys, so I will be applying October and have decided that I am done with the LSAT. My dream law school has always been BU Law. With that being said, would consider going to a higher ranked school such as USC, UT, UCLA, etc.

LSAT: 167

GPA: 3.54 (Was in the hospital senior year and my gpa tanked)

Would BU be a reach school or target school. If my GPA is below 25% but LSAT is over 50% where would that put a school?

Also where does this put me with scholarships?

Hey, I'm currently looking into possibly investing in a study program. Does anyone have a particular one they recommend? What experience have you had, what does your program have to offer?

I submitted it but on LSAC it still says exam initiated. Is that normal? Should it say something else? I had the perfect essay!!!!

Hi everyone,

I have been studying for a while now, and I fluctuate a lot, I score high and then low, I just need someone to give me guidance on what I'm doing wrong or I might just lose my head.

I'm currently unemployed so I'm looking for more affordable options, also I don't know how much tutoring I need, but I do need someone to evaluate my approach and point out to my weaknesses that I can't seem to pick up on.

Thank you!

Hi all,

I've decided to delay my exam to the October 3, 2020 test date in hopes of improving my timing and score -- currently PT-ing in high 140s/low 150s and BR-ing in high 150s, goal score is 165. What are some timing tips to close the real PT/BR gap for LR and RC? I've been BR-ing and drilling on non-PT days, and have seen improvement in my BR, 3-4 point BR gain, in the last couple of weeks but can't seem to improve my actual timed exam score (stuck in low 150s!!).

Second, how have you been studying with 1-2 months left? Drilling your weak areas? How many PT's do you take each week? I've found that taking 2 exams per week (in addition to drilling) is adequate to get a full BR + review of each exam without feeling burnt out but I'm not sure if I'm doing too much/little. If you take more PTs, are you splitting up sections and taking those separately instead of full PTs?

I thought it'd be important to note I'm fortunate enough to have been able to take this summer off in order to study for this exam full-time, but since I'm delaying the test until October I'll be getting a part-time job soon. I'd appreciate any advice or tips you have!

Hi all!

I just hit the 160s for the first time (yay!) it was a BR score so I'm not sure how consistent it will be going forward... but exciting nonetheless! My issue is timing, I score MUCH higher on every section untimed as I'm sure many others have experienced. I am looking for ways to learn to maximize my time in order to close this gap quickly.

I scored a 147 timed and a 163 untimed on PT 52 today - granted, I would typically score 154/155 timed but did not answer nearly all the questions, as I was trying to focus on maintaining accuracy.

Now that I seemingly am maintaining accuracy (thanks to my first ever 163, as well as other untimed sections where I was averaging similarly) I figured it made sense to begin focusing on timing and test taking strategy. In LR I feel that I often have to re-read the argument in order to get its gist, which I know is a huge waste of time - if anyone has advice on this specifically it would be helpful!

I can NEVER make it to the last RC passage timed, I assume this will just come with practice?

Here is the breakdown of my BR score for context:

LR1 - 21/25

LG - 23/23

LR2 - 17/26

RC - 18/26 (Q15 was removed from scoring from exam)

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

If I cancelled my score, can I still do the writing sample?

I signed up for the August LSAT in USA and planned to travel there to take the test. However, due to travel restrictions and what not, it looks like I can no longer make the trip.

I thought it would be fine to take the online test from where I am in Asia but when I called LSAC, they said that I have to be in the USA-Canada region in order to take the exam.

Does anyone have experience taking the exam outside of the country that they were supposed to take it? I was thinking of using VPN to change my IPO to be based in the US, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with it.

I am trying to register for August LSAT flex, and it still prompts me to choose a physical location. Is that how everyone else registered as well?

I took the July LSAT Flex yesterday and am now anxiously awaiting score release in two weeks. I am wondering, does anyone know when we have to take the writing portion by? Can I take it after scores are released? Or do I need to take it sometime in the next two weeks?

Would love to have a study buddy so we can push each other and root for eachother.

Hello!

I took the July 2019 LSAT and got a decent score, but have decided to retake this fall to try to boost my score in order to potentially get scholarship money. I really liked using 7Sage the first time studying, but I almost completely went through the lessons when I did it the first time so I'm wondering if it will be as effective the second. I am a year removed from studying and didn't go through a ton of the PTs so I'm wondering if there is anyone who has used 7Sage for two different tests (maybe with some time removed) and what they thought of it!

Thanks!

“Some anthropologists argue that the human species could not have survived prehistoric times if the species had not evolved the ability to cope with diverse natural environments. However, there is considerable evidence that Australopithecus afarensis, a prehistoric species related to early humans, also thrived in a diverse array of environments, but became extinct. Hence, the anthropologists’ claim is false.“

Could someone please show me verbatim how to diagram the entire passage Via formal logic and cross reference the mismatched terms that the author used in order to draw the false inference. According to the question it is a mistaken reversal and I am very comfortable diagraming up until the term “however”, after that I got so confused as to what the author was trying to translate.

Now if I’m not mistaken Jy mentioned that because the the author concluded that “the anthropologist Claims were false

ANTHRO CLAIM

“If survive ———-> Cope”

AUTHOR CONCLUSION

“Not survival ——-> Not Cope”

Are those the 2 conditional statements that conflict, that make this entire passage a mistaken reversal ?

Also please keep in mind I kind of dis regarded the premise right above the conclusion because the verbiage is confusing as it doesn’t appear to be a condition statement that I can diagram

#HelpPlease

What’s the distinct definition of and/or explanation of the assumption in a mistaken reversal. Mistaken Reversals are daunting at times when I’m under pressure, sometimes I pick up on them, sometimes I don’t 🤦🏾‍♀️ 🥴🥴😩😂 I’ve found at times that when comparing the variables A and B in the premises that the follow A and B Variables in the conclusion; I find they are never identical 😩 that’s why I sometimes mistake- mistaken reversal for mismatched concepts instead; because my variables never follow in order for me to confirm the “like terms” were flipped 🥴 also if that is not the case should I always follow the necessary variable in premises and make sure it isn’t flipped to the sufficient in the conclusion ?!? #Help lol am I overthinking it?!?

Does anyone know if LSAT flex will have a curve when scoring?

From the Blind Reviewing I've done so far, the only thing that I've left out in the step by step process that J.Y has in the syllabus is actually flagging the questions while taking the timed exams. I've felt sort of reluctant towards flagging because I can imagine it taking me too much time to debate over how confident I am about each answer choice for a question during a PT. I now feel like I'm missing out on this crucial step in the process of how to Blind Review efficiently, but I also still think it may cause me to over-analyze every question during my PT's. I wouldn't want to spend an extra amount of time trying to figure out whether an answer choice is 100% correct on a question just so I can leave it uncircled... Isn't it a stretch to be going through this deep of an analysis for every question?

Maybe the analysis most people go through during their PT's is more flexible than I'm assuming, and there should actually be a lot of overconfidence/under-confidence errors to expect at first, due to not actually being 100% certain. Please let me know how you guys have benefited from this approach.

I would really appreciate any feedback on how some of the top scorers out there have gotten the most out of Blind Reviewing using this approach.

Is it weird that I can easily breeze through more recent LSATs but for some reason I can't even draw a game board from pre LSAT 38 games. LR sections are togher for me too. Should

I'm curious if folks have thoughts on how many overconfidence errors is too many on a PT? Is 0 a realistic goal? Should I be ok with having a small amount on any given test? At what point should I be worried about making too many overconfidence errors?

Hey guys,

just a quick poll, are we supposed to do the "drilling materials" section as a whole PT or as the title indicates just use them for specific types of problems. I'm a bit confused cause the curriculum lists them as whole tests and puts them before the modern tests. Just wondering if I should skip them in favour of the more modern tests. Opinions welcome and thanks.

I'm currently looking into hiring an admissions consultant for the upcoming Fall 2021 cycle. Would anyone be willing to share their experience with me (good or bad)? I was also wondering if anyone knows whether or not Spivey Consulting offers payment plans. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hey guys! I'm prepping for the Oct LSAT and I started PTing a few weeks ago. However I'm stuck at the 160-162 rage with no improvement. I feel I'm not being able to learn much from my mistakes and wasting a real opportunity to improve. Can anyone who was in my place at some point but managed to jump to the 170s recommend their review methods? I want to understand how I should proceed with the questions I got wrong even after blind review and learn from them so I can avoid them down the line.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for the spreadsheet that was showcased during the LR skipping strategy webinar held by two former 7sagers (don’t have their usernames) a few months ago. I‘m not having any luck with finding the original thread.

I’m hoping someone was able to copy down the spreadsheet setup they used for tracking LR timing, confidence levels, and I believe the diminishing returns? It was a really cool and different way they used to track their progress besides just recording how much time was spent per question. I ended up not taking notes, expecting the webinar to be recorded and posted on 7sage somewhere so that’s my fault.

Anyway, I appreciate any help! Thanks everyone.
