Hi all,

I’m in my last month of prep and have been lurking on 7Sage for a bit of time. Since I’ve been working full time through this I haven’t been able to interact as much. Since I’m changing my position after this test to something a bit easier before law school I wanted to say hi and see if there was anyway I could help others and this discussion board has helped me quite a bit.

If anyone is a full time worker starting this process I would love to give any words of wisdom(failures) I’ve had this far when it comes to tour study schedule.

When using Google Chrome, I sometimes experience issues with videos not loading, and sometimes the videos stutter as well. I have tried clearing out my cache, but that hasn't helped the situation. Is there any advice on what I should do?

Hey guys! If y'all are taking the Nov LSAT, and want to be in a GroupMe with other people who are also taking the LSAT in November, DM me your number! Our main focus will be Blind Reviewing practice tests. We can all help each other out :)

Hey there!

So, thanks to our wonderful community, I read the trainer and it has definitely helped! Here's my question: The trainer wants us to find the flaw in all the "subjective" questions (the ones we need to evaluate). But I'm still a little unclear on what it wants us to do after we've found the flaw for some of the question types.

For example, I've realized that for strength questions, what I want to do is find the flaw, and then look for the answer that makes that flaw less likely to be problematic. So if the flaw says that this one factor is a determining factor in whether or not the conclusion obtains, then I need to find the answer that makes that more likely.

But I figured that out after a lot of trial and error. And I'm not clear on what, for example, I need to do with a necessary assumption question once I see the flaw.

Help?

Yesterday i took my second PT where my score went up by 1. However, my accuracy for 4 star and 5 star went up (40% and then 8%, respectively). My other percentages were largely the same. Any tips or guidance on just how I ended up at this point and potentially. Is there a way I should study? Did you encounter a similar problem? If so, how did u get out?

Not very happy with my score, but im happy my understanding of the harder questions went up (in this PT there were more 5 and 4 star questions as well) PLS LMK I could use the help

Hi Everyone,

I'm taking the July LSAT and my photo on my admissions ticket only takes up 75% of the 2x2 box. It's also a bit grainy but it's pretty decent. When I was registering it looked okay, but I looked last night to print it out and I had a mini heart attack. I am bringing a 2x2 photo of the picture on my ticket, driver's license, passport, and maybe even birth certificate along as I am concerned. Has anyone had a previous experience/any advice on what I should do? Thank you, I'm so anxious.

I'll be taking the LSAT online next week. I was wondering if anyone with experience could comment on what the room check is like? I'll have to be taking it in my living room, where I have books, a mirror, my kitchen etc. Should I take out books in advance? Not sure what to expect, would appreciate any anecdotes.

Good luck everyone!

I've become really inconsistent on my PT scores. For the last ~7 PTs I've taken over the course of the summer, I've started to jump between mid-high 160s to 170+ basically every other PT. I've scored above 170 enough times that it feels like those aren't flukes but I also cannot tell what is going wrong on the PTs that are on the lower end. Any advice on being more consistent? :)

Hello Everyone,

I just finished to core curriculum and I have a very good understanding of all the concepts. This is just for LR but I took an untimed section just to make sure I have a fundamental understanding of all the concepts and got 24/25. I feel like now I should start drilling and doing practice exams. Can anyone share how they built a study plan like this after the CC. Also how did that help you? If you could go back and give some advice to yourself in my shoes what would you say?

Thanks so much for all your help!

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Nov 2018

I live in NYC where there's good testing centers and horrible ones. The first time I took the LSAT I signed up really early, and there were scarce options (I don't know why). I ended up having to drive to Staten Island in crazy traffic in the morning. Now, instead, I monitor the testing centers and see which ones are opening up. Sometimes people drop and a center that was full now has availability. Also, a testing center that wasn't available suddenly appears. Yesterday, I was thinking I was going to have to drive to Staten Island again, and then, lo and behold, Queens College appears today. I'm so thankful I was patient.

I’m based outside the U.S., currently prepping for law school apps (Fall 2025 cycle), and already took my first official test. I’d love to connect more directly with international test takers. If you're also studying for a retake, want to share strategies, or just need mutual accountability comment if you're in!

I currently have the Starter pack. I got it for the March LSAT, but I will most likely need 7sage for November 2019 test. Which package will be the best and would last up until November or beyond? I don't need access to all PT because I have them all in physical copies, so that is not one of the features that I am looking for. I just want longer access and access to explanations to as many tests as possible because although my physical copies have explanations in the back, JY does a much better job of getting me to understand

hi! posted this on the new forum as well, but in case it didn't cross-post:

looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

I am planning to take the September 2019 digital LSAT and I began studying earlier this month with the Khan Academy digital program. On Khan Academy, you can highlight RC passages but not underline, bracket, etc. -- and can't do anything with the LG or LR prompts (although you can use scrap paper for diagramming LG). Now, watching the 7Sage videos, I'm realizing how very helpful it would be to have the paper test in front of me to mark LG and LR prompts and RC passages - and doing my first BR, I noticed that there were a handful of answers I marked incorrectly just because I didn't absorb the question properly!

I see the 7Sage videos doing things like circling important words in the question stems, bracketing premises and conclusions, etc. I know that misreading is such an easy way to lose points so I'm interested to learn: with the lack of a paper test, what are some ways that I can train my brain to catch everything? I sometimes read a question two or three times and still "hear" it incorrectly! I am definitely a paper-and-pencil kind of person and I love marking up pages (even the books I read for leisure get underlined and highlighted), so taking a digital exam is requiring me to acquire some new ways of thinking.

Thanks for any thoughts!

My LSAT journey is starting to feel long and it is still not over. I'm aiming for a 170 or higher. And I've been studying on and off the LSAT since July 2014. One day I will do an AMA with JY about this journey. I've done Powerscore course, I've self study, but it wasn't until I discovered 7sage last year after my first take in Dec 2017, a 153, that I upped my game. So I studied everyday, did the CC, Foolproof 1-35, took PT where I ranged from 156 - 172, but I was averaging PT of 163 by September and even scores a 172 in Sept so I signed up for November, got a little pressured by my study partner, who scored a 167 in September when we had originally thought to take it but I didn't feel ready, especially not for my goal of 170 or higher. I took November and got a 159. I was blown. I was expecting at least a 160, and I changed a little strategy, not that it matters, my letter of the day was C instead of my usual letter D, did the math, I would have had 163 if I chose D, but anyway. I took a 5 weeks off and I'm ready to get back to study. I need advice by Sage or anyone where to start. Timing is an issue for me, I usually get 84% correct of what I complete, but I usually leave about 7-10 questions to random guessing. I've got grit, and I know I'm going to get this +170, just need some advice and encouragement before I continue the journey.

Hello! I am unsure when I should take the LSAT so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently a rising junior in college in New York, and I live in CA. I have just started studying for the LSAT, and I prefer to take it in California, not in New York, so that limits the months I can take it. As a student-athlete, I am pretty busy during the school year. Should I use this summer, the upcoming school year (25-26), and next summer to study so I can take it next July or August (2026)? Does this seem like a reasonable plan?

This will be my first time taking it, so I'm wondering if my second time should be the summer after senior year of college/after I graduate, when I am hopefully working as a paralegal or something (before I apply to law school). Idk, I have not really thought out when I should take it a second time. Lmk what you guys think!

Thanks in advance for the input!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been studying for the LSAT consistently but inconsistently for about a year now. I started in the low to mid-140s and have since climbed into the 150s, but I’m aiming to break into the 160 to 165+ range by the September test.

By “consistently but inconsistently,” I mean that I’ve tried to study as regularly as possible, but I haven’t had a full two-week stretch of uninterrupted, focused prep during that time. Due to personal life changes, working 20 to 30 hours a week, and maintaining some extracurriculars post-grad, my schedule has been pretty fragmented. I know this has likely contributed to my score plateau.

Right now, I usually try to complete one timed LR section and one timed RC section per week, along with some drilling and review. I also keep a wrong answer journal, although it sometimes feels tedious and time-consuming. For resources, I’ve used The LSAT Trainer for RC, completed the 7Sage curriculum last summer, and worked through The Loophole.

At this point, I’m feeling a bit frustrated that my score has been stuck in the low 150s for a few months. If any of you have broken through a similar plateau in a short time frame (1 to 2 months), I’d really appreciate any tips. Whether it’s study schedules, habits, tricks, or anything else that helped you see a jump, I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance, and best of luck to everyone studying right now!

Drill packs are a bit overwhelming. I understand that quality is better than quantity when it comes to studying. So I want to pace myself in the most practical way as possible.

I am studying 5 days week.

I could use a little structure when it comes to LG, LR, and RC sections.

Can anyone recommend a daily and weekly study schedule for drill packs 1-16?

Thank you so much for your advice.

Can anyone confirm that the new digital format immediately generates your score? If not, is there any decrease in turn around between taking the LSAT and receiving the score?

Any dramatic thoughts on the effects of the digital lsat at-large? Thanks!!

I've signed up for the November LSAT but haven't done any PTs in the 80s recently (I did 83 and 84 a long time ago). So for I'm only up to PT 77. Are there any noticeable differences between these two sets?

Hello 7sagers

I have recently finished the CC and also took another diagnostic. Turns out I need more practice on LR sections and LG. With LG I am trying to fool proof some test. But for LR How do you reccomend practicing at this point? Should I just pull LR sections starting from the first PT?

Also, some have reccomended starting in the 50's practice tests as the other tests are older and different - any thoughts on that?

Thanks a lot.

I have called and emailed the company several times, I have done everything on my end including the cookies and flash but the video and audio continue to skip. I have not had this problem in the past. When is the nest session the last one was aug 12? Thank you, M
