I started doing this course this week. I just completed doing the blind review by going through the diagnostic test for June 2007. I am not sure that I did the blind review correctly as I went down two points post blind review.

My process of completing the blind review was watching the videos twice each, making notes and following through. I completed step one by going through the circled and seeing if I need to change or not and did that for all four sections. I originally was going through the whole test again and searched through the forums to see if I was doing it right. I then just went through the rest of the test just going through the circled questions. I am uncertain if my process just wasted time. I did the explanations in my head and now I wonder if I should start doing the actual foundations course or go through the other steps of the analysis before moving on to doing arguments on the course. Did I take the diagnostic to early or should I just continue with what I am currently doing by going through that prep test and sitting down and analyzing my choices and answers with all the questions. Can I change the prep test to printed test without any issues so I can analyze each question. Should I rework my process? Need advise on what to do!

It shows this on the Blind Review under action:

If you have trouble understanding the trap, then you should:

Is this what I do post blind review since I scored it. Do I end up keeping the questions and reviewing it?

Looking for a study buddy who are taking the LSAT in January 2025 to hit the 155-160s range. My Discord is PK#1370, feel free to contact me and hopefully work together to do great on the LSAT

Hi everyone!

I've recently decided to take one more year off before I start law school so I have adequate time to prepare for the LSAT. I'm currently in Colombia working with a grant and I absolutely love being here. For my second gap year, I would love to be abroad somewhere else for about 6 months at least before I start law school, and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to begin looking for opportunities. I'm here with a grant that took a year to apply to and I don't really have the time to do that all over again, but I'm learning that it's not as difficult as I once thought to just go and work in another place.

Any advice you guys have on programs or how to look for jobs in a new country (digital or in person) or anything at all would be so appreciated.

Hope you are all having great days :)

Hi everyone! My name is Tony and I am currently PTing between 169-172 and it has been a long, long road. Anyways I am wondering if there is anyone here who is taking Jan exam who also took either Oct or Nov to come up with some strategies, anticipating question types and passage topics, ETC comment!!

Mainly the title but to add some context: most of the questions I get wrong I simply just misinterpreted the stimulus, whenever I watch a explanation video for a question I just didn't understand it always comes back to "I did not understand what I just read". To help with this I am actively reading on the side every day but if there is anything else I am missing please let me know. Furthermore, my analytics do not really show a pattern of question type that I am absurdly getting wrong. I have made study plans focusing on question types that I am not extremely confident with but I am wondering if I just need to take more tests or review the CC?

I just stumbled on the news.

"Due to the COVID-19 emergency, LSAC has made the difficult decision to cancel the March LSAT. Candidates will be rescheduled for the next LSAT and be offered additional scheduling options should interactions continue to be limited. "

After sitting for the October LSAT, I took the LSAT writing portion the following day. Upon re-reading it after its recent approval, I am worried that because I made some grammatical and phrasing mistakes, it will impact how schools view my application. I am registered for Nov. 25, but want to send my apps off as soon as possible. If I do retake, is it worth postponing my apps for roughly one week to have a better piece of writing sent to the schools? Does it replace the current one on file? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Guys,

I am an Indian International Student studying in the US. I have been preparing using the US LSAT exams, mostly because I last took the LSAT in the US and also because that is the only material I can find. I am back home in India for a break and registered to take the LSAT here. I am concerned that the material in the test might be different from what I have practiced. Can someone give me some insight into that?

Thanks!

do you think its better to take the same drill with the same questions or to take drills that resemble the test with the questions being mixed in terms of being really prepared for test day and the actual format that we are tested with

I am kind of confused about why half of the questions I've done on a skill builder lesson disappear

Hi everyone,

I just upgraded to Ultimate+ from the basic package. I have 2 official scores on file, a 159 -> 162. My last few PT's have been between 164 and 168. I have worked through the core curriculum and I want to begin polishing my skills for the September exam. My BR score tends to be in the mid 170's so I am confident I can attain this come September.

I need some advice on how to utilize the Ultimate+ to efficiently practice. I have no idea how to really use it, especially when creating drill packets.

I just need access to 7Sage's course material and explanation videos. Do I need a subscription to LSAT Prep Plus to gain access?

Hello everyone! I’ve been studying for about 9 months and just did my first full prep test today and scored 169. However, I let myself have a little extra time due to the fact that my ENTIRE family were in the same room as me, talking, cooking, watching stuff etc.

So my question is, other than studying in my own area which I will do starting Monday, how can I ensure to get my time down and still expect a 169?

Does anyone know of any resources that resemble the skill builders from the core curriculum, but mix them all up together? Since the skill builders lump all the similar ones in order, I can feel my brain zoning out and not actually learning the drill but instead just copying and pasting the format of the answer.

I am going to make a quizlet that basically mixes all the skill builders from the foundations unit, but figured I'd see if it already exists before I do!

Have u guys noticed Chappell roan song titles are so close in spelling to LSAT topics ? Casual and Causal? Phenomenon- Femininomenon? 🤔 just another late night ponderance .

Hi all,

I recently finished the core curriculum’s lessons on logical reasoning and tried my first PT after my diagnostic. My diagnostic was a 150, and my second PT was a 144, after finishing the core curriculum’s lessons on logical reasoning. I tried another PT today and score a 146. Can I increase my score to a 170 by October? I plan to write the lsat in October and should have sufficient time to study, but am worried about the lack of progress. How do I improve my lsat score? Is it just about practicing questions and trying as many as possible?

Thanks in advance

Just wanted to share my experience in case it may be helpful to anyone, as I know I found some of these posts comforting while going through the test process.

My original diagnostic score from November of 2023 with no prep was a 161. I then began prepping casually on Khan Academy and scored PTs of 163, 162, and 162. Once I decided to commit to the LSAT I began a different test prep program other than 7Sage and registered for the June 2024 exam. Within this program I had these PT scores 162, 160, 164, 158, 161, 165, 164, 165. On the June LSAT I scored a 162 and was extremely disappointed because I had made nearly no progress from my diagnostic. Luckily I was able to get my money back from that other prep program and my friend recommended 7sage.

After starting individual tutoring with 7sage I immediately started feeling better and more confident and planned to take the September LSAT. My PT scores were as follows: 164 (174 BR), 167 (169 BR), 168 (169 BR), 169 (170 BR), 169 (176 BR), 167 (BR 168). Then, my last PT before the LSAT did not go to plan due to testing environment conditions and I got a 163. Obviously this shook my confidence a little bit but after talking with my tutor I was able to relax a little bit. I ended up getting a 171 on the September LSAT, and while I am confident if I continued to study I could improve even more, I am feeling pretty good about executing on test day and earning my pb for a timed score.

I felt so defeated after the June test, and even before checking my results from September I was so anxious that I would not improve my score. All this to say I highly recommend the individual tutoring program and always go into test day confident and knowing that you could get your best score yet on the official test.

Does anyone know where we can find specific LSAT questions that we starred? I have been looking but could not find them. I appreciate any and all help! :)

Hi everyone. I apologize in advance if this question has already been addressed, as it likely has, but I haven't found enough information to fully determine what I should do about the lower LSAT score I received today.

Regrettably, I have taken the LSAT 6 times this past year (this fact itself might require an addendum). Despite going overboard and being generally impatient, my trajectory has been a good one, at least until today: cancellation > 163 > 164 > 169 > 171 > 166. To my eyes, the 166 completely devalues the 171 that I had just a month before. And yet I've resolved to not cancel the score. Instead, I've been considering bringing up the drop in score in an addendum. However, I'm not confident that the explanation, reasonable as it is to me, is good enough to warrant an addendum. I was just feeling a ill the morning of the exam and my brain fogged a lot more than usual. Panic also set in when I realized that I couldn't focus on the exam at all. Alternatively, I could just not bring up the drop in score at all and to not shine any undue spotlight onto it. Mostly, I want the adcoms to know that I feel that the upwards trend truly represents my abilities, not the one blip at the end of it. But I worry that stating it so baldly without good reason might do my application a disservice. Any thoughts?

Thank you for any help you might have.

Hi gang,

I have been trying my best to implement a low-res summary approach to my RC passages. However, I find that taking time to perform these low res summaries takes some precious time away from actually answering questions. Is one word sufficient enough for something like a low res summary? Any tips out there for time reduction?

Sincerely,

Your Friendly LSAT Studier

Hi all,

Similar to most of you, I am a bit bummed about Saturday's test. I have been studying for about a year now, and felt really prepared. I took the July test, and canceled because it was not where I want to be (164+). Before Saturday, my practice tests were falling between 164-169. I believe I did really well on LR, ok on RC, but I know that I bombed LG horribly. The chances are pretty slim that I score 164 even if I did well on those LR sections. I was already signed up for October, but I'm feeling a bit discouraged and stressed on how to study at this point. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to study for someone who has already gone through all practice tests from 30-87. Should I retake tests I've already taken? Should I use early tests for practice? I was also wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the amount of studying from now until October. Any help is really appreciated!

Thanks!

Lauren

Based on recent tests and how 7sage grades question difficulty, does anyone know what the average (mean) question difficulty would be around? My guess would be around 3 (medium) but I am curious if anyone knows for sure.

Does anyone know how to indent bullets and or numbered lists via keyboard shortcut on 7sage? When I try to indent/nest my points using the Tab key, the input focus just tabs over to the "Save" button field. Does anyone know how to get around this? If there are any resources listing keyboard shortcuts specifically for using keyboard shortcuts in the Lesson Notes sections of Unit Lessons and Explanations, please drop a link in the comments. Thanks y'all!

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.
