Can we use touch screen for exam if it’s not a tablet? With stillus tool?

One of the things I have noticed is that it takes me a while to use the foundational lessons in the PTs and drills. I do not want to use the PTs too much as I am worried that I will exhaust them. Other than using PTs, what are some good resources to read to use as practice to drill those lessons.

Dear all,

I scored 168 in the June test, and my goal is to get 172+ in the October test. I am a non-native English speaker and not from the US. I have been studying for this test for two years. I feel I might hit my limit by studying myself and may need help from an expert. There are only three months before the October test, so my time for significant improvement is limited. I am thinking to work with a tutor, but I have no idea which tutor might work best for me since there are so many tutors in 7 Sage. Can you guys kindly recommend one or two tutors to me based on your experience? Thank you very much! I wish you all the best on the LSAT.

Hi there! I have just started 7sage and am a little confused what my study schedule should look like. I have just completed my first prep test - but should I have watched videos before that/I don't see drills or practices listed on my customized study schedule?

I haven't come across any I've had to diagram and was wondering how common it is to diagram them and if anyone has examples of these in actual LR questions!

Just got my June 2024 score back, and although not terrible, I will be rewriting so wanted to ask the following question to redirect my studying. When studying for the June test, I noticed that my BR scores were consistently above 172 (peaking at 177), whereas my PT scores averaged around a 165-166 (peaking at 170). My blind review process usually took the time and a half of an actual PT, so its pretty clear to me that my disproportionate scoring is due to speed issues. There are other factors as well (being able to fool proof LG in BR easily, being able to take mental breaks, etc.), but I think timing is the major issue as opposed to fundamental issues.

I wanted to ask those of you who may have experienced the same thing, how you improved your scores, or in other words, made your BR scores a reality? Since my best, or at least most reliable, section will no longer be on the test, I'm trying to offset the potential for a scoring decrease. I know practice is likely gonna be many people's answers, but I felt that I hit a plateau in terms of timing and improvement, where if I had more time and continued to just practice the way I was, my improvement would have been minimal. This is why I figured I'd ask for any specific advice to help with my issue.

Additionally, I'm willing to spend a bit more money to invest in other prep materials to maybe break out of this plateau (cause I'm rather desperate lol). So any recommendations for prep materials that helped people with this issue would also be greatly appreciated. I'm considering purchasing the Loophole and the RCHero course, so insights into these prep materials and perhaps whether they helped people with speed issues is also greatly appreciated! :)

Sorry for the post, just figured I'd restart my studying by hearing some people's opinions on this. And for those of you who were also not satisfied with your June mark, keep your chin up and keep fighting, soon enough we'll all come out of this having conquered this dastardly test!

Hi all-- I have been studying for the LSAT for over a year (starting June 2016). I took the exam this past June and had hoped/expected it to be my last take. As often happens, I wasn't happy with my score and I am planning to re-take the exam in Sept.

The unfortunate thing is that I have taken almost every single practice test. The only ones I have completely untouched are A B and C (and maybe one other). Thus, I am re-taking the PTs, starting with the oldest ones that I have taken (9-10 months old at the oldest). I do think there is value in that-- but what I am curious about is how much? Unless it is in my subconscious, I remember barely anything from the exams I took the longest ago. However, I am inclined to think that my score on the re-take is not "reliable" in the sense that I have seen the material before, even though the jump in some cases from first take to second take has been 20+ points.

This makes it difficult to gauge if my score is going up or not. I figure the only way to see where my score/average is now is how I do on the untouched exams. What do others think?

Hey Everybody,

Taking the August LSAT and PT'ing in the 170s.

Was wondering if anyone had considered starting at the end of LR sections, spending the most amount of time/mental energy on the generally more difficult last 10 questions, and working their way to the front. So rather than racing through the hardest section of the test while mentally fatigued, you're the "freshest" and have the most time.

Similarly with RC, why not give the most time and energy to the (usually) toughest two passages at the end, rather than the first two?

I can't see an obvious reason this wouldn't work or that there are any significant drawbacks. Although, I'm definitely not the first person to consider this, nor does this seem like the "meta"/something commonly recommended by 7Sage. So there's gotta be some reason to not do it like this right?

Thanks for reading!

404 Error everytime i want to review my practice tests

So I took the LSAT for the first time in July and scored extremely low. I'm now trying again for November and am utilizing 7sage Starter, and LSATMax Premium. Last time I used LSATMAX Premium and Khan but if I'm being honest I didn't study as much as I could have, I'm hoping to change that this time around but it's difficult finding time to study while attending classes. I had to put off law school for a year due to being a December graduate and I'm not trying to put it off another year because of this test. Any tips of how to adequately and effectively study will be much appreciated.

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'm sure this has been addressed already, however I have a few questions in regards to ED that I would appreciate some feedback from.

First, Just to be clear, you can only ED for ONE school, correct?

Second, should you apply ED before you take the test?

-In other words, do you have an advantage of applying early in the ED cycle, or is it irrelevant to schools as long as it's within the deadline.

Third, how low is too low for ED? (MAIN QUESTION)

Hi,

I'm starting my lsat studies back up and the study scheduler v2 says to take the June 2007 diagnostic however I plan on taking the new format and I already took that diagnostic when I was originally studying. Should I just start with PT 101 in the new/current format as my diagnostic OR should I skip it and start doing the lessons and save the new format PTs to do once a week. My plan is to start studying the week of July 22nd and study until October, then depending on where i am PT'ing by that point I plan on taking the exam near that time. Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated, thanks!

I have just been watching the videos so far, but I was wondering when I should start doing the practice drills with the videos? Or is it better to watch all the videos before drilling?

I wont be taking the LSAT anytime soon, I'm just curious.

What's the atmosphere like in the testing center? Is it like a classroom? cubicles? Do different test centers have different max capacity for number of people to take the test? How long is it before we actually start circling the bubbles in (from the time we walk in and sit down)? Do we have enough space between the takers? (I find it harder to focus if I sit close to someone who breathes loudly or shakes their legs) The more specific you could be in sharing your experience the better, I'm interested in the smallest details, Thanks!

Secondly, how similar is the 7SAGE digital format to the actual test? (I love the sound effect e.g. coffee shop noises, it's unfortunate we are not allowed headphones :p) Are we able to change font size and the background colors, etc? I use mini ipad to do problem sets on 7SAGE, how does this compare to the tablet in terms of size, ability to write on, and flagging questions to skip, etc?

P.S

I live in Fairfax, VA. About 20 minutes from DC. For people who's taken LSAT in the DMV area, which ones are your favorite and which ones should I avoid?

Thank you all!

So I have identified a problem that I have no idea how to approach. In any given section, I will miss 4 questions. However, I've found that I always know the questions I'm going to miss in advance and that I typically end up overthinking problems that are not realistically complex (3s or 4s). How do I stop myself from second-guessing the complexity of the question and trying to outsmart the test writers? How do y'all convince yourselves that you are right on questions that seem like they are blatantly attempting to trick you, especially considering the time-constraints?

Can anyone who took the June 2019 share some insight into how the writing section went? Do they provide you with a link to log in and take this section whenever you'd like? Do they somehow supervise? Any insights would be helpful. I am scheduled took take the test a week from today.

Good morning everyone! Happy New Year!

I have been studying for the LSAT since November 2019. I also registered for the February 2020 exam. I decided to "self-study" using only the LSAT Trainer. I used the Khan Academy LSAT for my first diagnostic and scored a 144. Very embarrassing to say the least. I have set out a goal score for a 160 until test day. I have been working on practice drills and my last two PT scores were the same 137. My soul has been crushed especially since I have been set to take this test in February and now I am sitting here with two timed tests at 137. I do not know where to go from here... I have 5 weeks left with my trainer schedule that consists of only PT's after this and 8 more weeks until my actual test. I am a bit skeptical/ afraid to start a new program that will rewire my learning strategies before test day. What should I do?

I have been contemplating on purchasing one of the 7 sage bundles and unsure if it will help me increase my score. I am stuck on deciding whether to purchase one of the bundles (if so, which one) and test on February 2020 or work through the bundle and withdraw my registration until I feel ready. I am feeling the pressure at this point and my ultimate goal is to do my best. Any suggestions for this demoralized soul?

P.S.- I read that there is a customized study schedule/ plan for each bundle. How does this work? Will I need to take another diagnostic? Is there anyone out there with similar concerns? What has worked best for you? Thank you in advance!

Before I started focusing on improving my LG/RC I was averaging about ~8-10 missed on LR sections combined. Spent around 2 weeks bringing my LG/RC to a point where I'm getting ~2-4 wrong on LG and ~4-5 wrong on RC. I just took a full PT and missed 10 on a single LR section... any tips for getting back into the groove of things without seeing my work with LG/RC suffer?

I found myself second guessing a lot of my answers, especially when I was between 2 answer choices on LR, and of those questions many were either NA or SA questions. Any tips would be appreciated! I'm signed up for the September LSAT so the pressures on lol

I'm 100% supportive of 7Sage and I believe the law school prep will be well worth peoples' time and money. Aren't there already books to prepare you for law school, such as the Short & Happy Guide to (torts, property etc)? Does anyone have experience using these books?

I'm interested in knowing if people have looked into alternatives and if those are already great resources, or if they're missing some critical points of the law.

Anyhow I'm going to the 7Sage course anyways and thank you 7Sage for providing another resource for us :)

Hi all! I just started my lsat journey and would love to be surrounded with like-minded peers and finding a study buddy in the philly area!

Hi everyone,

I've been preparing for the LSAT for quite some time. Last year, I went through a significant amount of study material and took several prep tests. After completing the application process, I decided to reapply this year, which led me to continue my LSAT prep.

However, I'm facing a challenge. The new prep tests are compilations of sections from old prep tests, which makes it challenging to find fresh prep tests. Additionally, because I’ve done a lot of drilling both last year and this year, I’m running out of fresh tests, especially from 130 downward.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestions on how to approach this situation or find more fresh prep tests? Is it worth completing prep tests although segments from sections may have been drilled previously?

I'd appreciate any tips or resources that might help me keep my prep going strong.

Thanks in advance!
