I was just wondering if anyone had some predictions about this. I think the PowerScore podcast mentioned that the two might be flex, but I still wanted to see what other people thought. I hope the two tests are flex, but I'm not sure at the moment...

Is it just me or did anyone find the RC on 79 way harder than usual? Is this a trend that continues to the 80s?

Hi all,

I've been prepping on my Acer R11 Chromebook - works very well with the 7Sage site. But I know that ProctorU doesn't work with Chromebooks. I have a work Macbook, but it's not touch screen.

Any suggestions on a cheap Windows touch screen device?

Thanks,

Alex

Looking for around 3 people to join the group. Any more tends to result in a clusterf...

Will be on discord.

This is for people taking October , only.

7sagers that have done the CC preferred.

The point of this group is to go over LR sections, aprox. 3 times a week. During the morning, and afternoons depending on schedule.

Full time LSAT study members preferred with open schedules.

Avg PT score of 160+ preferred.

Repeat flex testers preferred.

Headset with MIC required for discord to go over LR sections. (Webcam not required.)

Anything above PT 65 would be ideal, so this is mainly for people looking to do the mid 60s , 70s, 80s.

Send me a DM if you are interested. I know this seems strict, but just trying to get the right people.

Hi guys, so I am currently registered for the October flex. I took the August flex, but I am worried that I will get my scores late since I had a bunch of issues with the writing sample. Unfortunately, I had very unreliable internet for the past week or so with the CA heatwave and now the wildfires.... I tried to take it yesterday, but the exam kicked me out within 15 min. of starting it so I retreived a new link from LSAC today (9/10). BUT they failed to tell me that it will not reset for another day so I essentially have to wait til 9/11 to take it. Scores come out on 9/18 and I just doubt that LSAC will process it in time before the exam. I hope they do, but I am just bracing myself for the possibility of delayed scores (internally screaming). That said, I was hoping to make a decision on whether to take the October flex or not based on how I did on the August flex. However, as we all know, the October flex is less than a month away and I have not been able to really get back into studying full time due to all these issues I've been having. Do you guys think it's wiser for me to switch to November or should I wait and see if I get my August score in time? Is it considered late to take the LSAT in November? I have heard a bunch of mixed opinions on that so any insight would be helpful. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

As the November LSAT will be offered as a FLEX test, would it be best to continue taking four-section PrepTests, or would it be best to switch to taking the three-section Flex tests?

Alternatively, would it be beneficial to do a mix of four-section tests and three-section tests (i.e. two of each per week) as opposed to exclusively taking one or the other (or taking mostly one type but taking the other type once in a while)?

I understand that it's important to simulate actual test-day conditions as accurately as possible, which I think is the main advantage to switching to the three-section practice tests. But the advantage that I see in taking the four-section test is that it includes 2 LR sections, which means more LR practice (although I suppose that I could take the three-section test and save the second LR section for another time).

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and good luck to everyone in all of their endeavors!

Hey everyone, is the best way to follow the CC just to go from top to bottom ?

And if so, are some of the topics laid out in the wrong order ?

I have routinely encountered videos or topics ( Parallel method of reasoning ) for example. Where JY says its the last or highest section of LR. But, I still have many other question types etc still to do below it. like necessary assumption question type. Did they rearrange the video order or something ? Im honestly confused and want to be learning the question types in the proper order, due to the fact that the topics snowball together ! Please help or advise !

I'm currently about 25% through the syllabus and it seems there are a number of times in J.Y.'s explanations he says, "If you're not familiar with logic rules for XYZ go back to that lesson and review it," but then I look at the syllabus and that lesson hasn't happened yet. Just wondering if it makes more sense to jump through all the foundational logic before doing practice sets that encourage us to know rules we haven't learned? Or is this intentional?

Can someone please confirm that 7Sage's LSAT/GPA calculator is NOT updated with 2020 rankings when providing "predictions?" I see on US News some of the median LSATs seem to have gone down? (i.e., Georgetown 168 here but 167 on LawSchoolNumbers). Is that true?

Hello,

i would like to know how do you BR RC. Do you guy write an explanation for every question?

Thought I'd reach out to see if there's anyone here writing about veganism/vegetarianism in their personal statements who'd be interested in discussing how they're going about it!

I find myself understanding this concept, but I can't do the timed problem sets under the time given. Does anybody have any outside resources they'd like to share?

So I took the July Flex, got a 164. I only used the Khan Academy course. I signed up for October Flex, did CC, have been doing PT's (one a day), and am averaging ~172 (with a few 178s thrown in!) What would people recommend I do in the final two weeks before the test? I'm planning to use analytics to decide which LR Question Types to review, but would appreciate any other advice folks have!

Good luck all, and all the best to every journey! :)

Writing this for myself but hopefully someone else finds solace in this as well..

Got my results back this morning and was quite disappointed in the results. Scored a 166, which is the same score I received on the official take in May.

I’m so much better at this test than I was in May (PT average at the time was 166). I have improved, but frankly it sucks that this isn’t reflected in my official score. My PT average is exactly170 right now and I haven’t scored below a 168 in more than 5 months on a PT. My BR is consistently 176+ (and trending upwards) and if I can better my process even more, there are probably a couple of additional points I can add to my timed results.

Something happened in LR where I was just off my game and because that was the first section I could feel myself more distracted in RC. Based on the PowerScore prediction, I had the hardest compilation of sections and that might have affected my confidence too.

Either way, I’m ready for October. November too, if need be.

“So what, now what?”

Hi all, wanted to seek some last minute advice before going into the October Flex. I've been fluctuating a lot lately and wanted to know from others who have experienced the same thing---what is your advice for performing your best on test day, and stabilizing your scores? Feeling demoralized after scoring a 166 today, after my first 180 a couple of days ago. My last 8 PTs, in order, have been:

175

176

171

171

167

169

180

166

I take 3 PTs a week, I know this is on the high side but the exam is really soon and I want to get exposed to as many questions as possible. Thanks in advance!

Also more of a general question, on the real Flex RC section, are there line numbers? I took a PT from the LSAC Lawhub website today and there were no line numbers which really threw me off.

Hey guys! Was wondering if anyone has any advice for how to approach studying for November. So I got a 168 on the August test, which I know is objectively a fantastic score, but my PT average is around 175ish (and my last few scores were 176, 180, and two 179s). I'm pretty happy with my grasp of everything so I think it's about consistency for me.

I don't feel bad about it because I really can't complain about a 95 percentile score and know I worked hard, but also I knew I would most likely have to take it again and my score expectations were pretty low. I was super anxious on the day - I slept horribly and I didn't even have time to properly finish my RC section (which was my first one), and it was super jarring because I've literally never had issues with time on a standardized test + was thrown off by the LSAT flex format, so I'm expecting to do better just without that first time test anxiety now that I'm more familiar with how it goes!

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how I should think about studying these next 5-6 weeks? I'm thinking fewer practice tests (luckily I saved a bunch of tests in the 70s and 80s) and just drilling a little to stay on top of it, and putting extra effort into digesting why my wrong answers were wrong. I also have a pretty demanding full time job and was stressed about a number of things, and had been trying to squeeze LSAT studying in bits in during the day (since I'm working remotely due to COVID right now still) so I want to make sure I try to study when I'm feeling clear headed and have uninterrupted time rather than in bits and pieces while juggling work.

I also need to focus on reading comprehension but its tough to know how to get down to -0/-1 more consistently when you're already doing pretty well.

Any advice? Any inspirational stories of a huge jump from your first to second test?

good luck everyone!!!

I just got my August Flex Score- 166! So happy about it and thanks so much to 7sage. However, I scored a 157 in June, should I write an addendum even if schools don't ask? Don't have that much of a reason for the jump other than just being really nervous for the June test and also studying more.

took it september 2nd, called lsac three times lady claims my prompt is there and there are no flags or violations and she contacted someone within the departments that handles it, I'm guessing IT, to see what the issue is. LSAC's email this morning said those that took it before the 10th should be able to see their scores, just sitting here waiting on LSAC. Anyone else experiencing the same or similar thing? talk about frustrating

Hi, I am an international student, and I am worried about my writing part. I can’t find any official writing questions that can be practiced. Are there any writing review materials or methods that you can recommend? Thank you.

Is it just my laptop or LSAT Flex cannot be full-screen on test day? I mainly use Lawhub for PT which should be the exact same format. While during practice Lawhub allows the browser to be expanded to full-screen, on my August LSAT test it can't, which took me a while to readjust. On the test day, the screen would just look like a window size with black margins surrounding it. Any thoughts?

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or tips they can offer me with regards to these Logical reasoning question types. I'm currently PT'ing at around 170 and I typically get -2 on LR but it seems that these two areas are my weakest. I've watched the videos on them but it still seems like there is something I'm missing, especially since this is considered one of the easier more basic types.

Looking to study 5:30am- 8:30am Monday-Friday Central Time.

Looking for people scoring in the low 150s to get to the high 150s/low 160s.

Wanting to take the exam either Nov (if possible) or January.

Plan:

We can figure some out for RC lol

Please comment email below. Looking for 2-3 people.

Hi there,

I wrote the August LSAT and scored a 149, so I have registered to take the November LSAT. I studied this summer with PowerScore books and Khan academy, but really enjoyed the 7Sage LR videos that are on YouTube- which made me decide to join 7Sage for access to the Logic Games videos in particular. I was PTing in the high 150s before I took the test, so getting a 149 was a bit of a shock.

My excuse/disclaimer is that I am currently on parental leave and home with a now 4-month old baby, so studying has been tricky. I'm excellent at managing my time during his naps and after both my kids are in bed, but I am well aware there is a lot of ground to cover in the 7sage curriculum and I won't have enough time.

My question is, in this situation- how would you suggest focussing my time? I struggle most with Logic Games, though I'm obviously not nailing LR or RC either.

I can commit at least 20 hours a week (approx. 3-4 hrs a day, 6 days), give or take.

Thanks for the advice!

I don't even know what to do anymore! My first test (In person last year) was my best score despite me PTing around high 160s that time. I have basically just been doing practice flexes for the past 3-4 months and somehow still scored my worst on the August flex despite PTing consistently 174+ (even two 180s!) I really don't know where to go from here. I plan on taking November and know I can break 170 if not do even better. I would really appreciate some advice from some people who have been through this themselves.
