Anyone else struggling taking practice tests under timed conditions? I feel like seeing the timer gives me more anxiety and causes concentration issues. If someone has experienced this and has any tips to overcome this anxiety, let me know.

This question is more for JY and the administrators of 7sage:

I was curious whether or not the Custom Schedule option has an automatic generating feature that customizes the schedule according to my LSAT Analytics weaknesses and mistakes?

For example If I have 600 Flaw questions that need improvement, 5 Weaken questions that need improvement, and let's say a majority of Sequencing questions that need improvement, does the Custom Schedule take this into account so I am not spending more time on Weaken questions when i should be focusing on Flaw questions?

This sort of option will really come in as time winds down to test date.

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience- I just logged into my LSAC account to sign up for the April test, and my web browser informed me that there had been a data leak and I should change my password. However, when I tried to use the reset password feature, neither my email nor my username were recognized by the system, even though I am able to log in. What’s going on? I’m nervous to give personal info if it might be stolen.

Anyone in the San Jose/Milpitas/Cupertino/Mtn View/Sunnyvale/Palo Alto area who is down to study together?

not sure how to increase my score i feel stuck

I am planning on taking the LSAT December 3, in Annapolis if anyone wants to join me and make a study group!!!

Please let me know if this already exists so I can join 🙂

Below is a channel intended to be a place for people in similar stages of the application process to support and engage with each other throughout our application year!

I started studying for the August 2024 LSAT in January; combo of PTs once a week and essentially the core curriculum (from a local prep company). I was testing pretty consistently around the 160 mark until I started drilling for 4-5 hrs/day on 7sage and BRing, after which I jumped to a 165/166 (first got a 166 at the end of May). Since then, I was testing pretty consistently at that mark for five weeks until randomly two weeks ago I got a 160 (PT84) and last week I got a 159 (PT85) (most of the drop was on LR sections). A lot of things I read online suggested taking a break due to burout (which I've definitely felt), so I took this last week off.

As I jump back into studying this week, I'm just really worried I'm doing something wrong w my test coming up soon. A lot of what I read online last week regarding score drops were for people who had just started the CC and/or had only taken a few practice tests. I've taken 18 full length tests over the last 7 months and drilled hundreds if not thousands of questions outside of tests, so I feel like my situation's a little different. Any suggestions on how to get back to that 165/166 mark / things I should be doing differently? Again, I BR, WAJ, drill, etc.

Thanks in advance!!

Hey friends,

I’m signed up to take the June lsat and I’m pretty nervous. I’ve have hit my goal score a few times but I am not constantly hitting it yet so I’ve been working hard to improve my timing because that’s where my lower scores tend to come from. Either I get stuck on a logic game or a RC paragraph and will end up with a bad score in one of those sections. I am slowly improving in those areas but here is the kicker…. next week I will be gone for five days on a business trip. On this trip I will be very busy and won’t be able to dedicate the same amount of time that I have been to studying which is fine but I would like to use the limited time I have on this trip to study the most effectively. So, I’m looking for advice on helpful ways to keep my mind sharp and maintain or improve my current understanding. (To be clear, not going on this trip is not an option and I knew that well in advance and have planned accordingly). My plan currently is to print out a bunch of drills and prep test and keep them in my purse so that I can pull them out and work on them any time I have a 15, 20, or 30 minute break. Depending on each days schedule I am aiming to either wake up early and study for 1-2 hours or stay up late and study for 1-2 hours at least a couple of times. Any advice/strategies would be greatly appreciated! Good luck to those of you who are also signed up for the June lsat, may the odds be ever in our favor!

*Also if anyone has any tips for being quick and consistent in RC or LG I’d love to hear it. I’m way better at logic games which is why I’m taking the June test but every once in a while I run into a miscellaneous game that absolutely blows my brain lol.

Does anyone know if @"nicole.hopkins" ever made a RC Webinar talking about inferences in RC and the importance of it?

I know that schools can now receive your scores without the writing sample, but I wonder if they won't actually make a decision until they have it. Has anyone been accepted this cycle before their LSAC writing sample was processed (since it can take up to a month)? Thanks!

I've taken a couple of prep tests and haven't really seen any improvement. Should I be drilling more? Go back to lessons? How do you guys make the most out of what 7sage offers and how can I see more improvement? Taking the LSAT in September 2024.

Hi 7sage community,

I've been studying for about three months now, but just enrolled in the course this week, and so also just started using Blind Review (fortunately still have plenty of PT left.) I did my first BR yesterday with a single timed LR section and absolutely loved it. This morning I crushed a PT and it's ready for BR. Let's goooo

My question: the process for BR-ing full length PTs. After completing all 4/5 sections, is it best to BR one section, check answers for that section, finish up the BR for that section, then move on to the next section and repeat? Or do people BR all 5 sections (i.e. go through entire test the first time), before inputting answers in Analytics and scoring? Intuitively I can see the benefit of the former, as the reasoning for each question is still completely fresh in my head, but maybe y'all have figured out the best system for this. Thanks in advance fellow LSAT warriors

I've listened to JY's videos on the blind review and why doing it correctly is so crucial to a higher, better LSAT score. One question that came to mind during steps 1 and 2 was, what if I cannot give a valid reason for why a particular answer choice is correct or incorrect? Sometimes I'm stumped about an answer choice. Unless I can figure out or give some reason that makes sense to me about why an answer choice is correct or incorrect can I then move on. Otherwise, I'd be screwing up steps 1 and 2 of the blind review. If I can't come up with a reason after hours of reading and studying the answer choice, should I just move on? Or should I skip it, and then come back to it at a later time (which would mean that I won't be able to check my answers until I've done this).

Any thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated preferably from those who are already drilling PTs and blind reviews. But I'd also appreciate insight from anyone who just wants to share!!

Thanks in advance!

What has worked well for people studying the week before their exam? How many pt's did you take?

Hi all,

I'm having difficulty with the really challenging causation/correlation LR problems. Any suggestions on finding problem sets for these particular questions?

As a side note, I also struggle with the more "math-y" LR questions that haven't been as common in recent years, and am looking for problem sets on those, too, but my first issue is more pressing.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I literally just began studying and am thinking of buying the power score LSAT bibles to supplement my studying. I’m planning on taking the test after August, so should I only get the RC and LR bibles and not the LG bible? Is there any chance that logic games will be included in some capacity even if the official section is gone (and therefore it would make sense to get familiar with the material)?

I am taking the new LSAT with just LR and RC. Which basleine exam should I take? 7Sage did not direct me to one when I started the curriculum.

I am wondering if any of you have any recommendations for daily or weekly activities, aside from LSAT specific studying, to help get in the LSAT state of mind. I know reading complex passages from certain publications is often recommended and some even recommend courses in logic. I do not plan on taking the LSAT for quite a while and would like to use all the resources I have at my disposal.

I was wondering how many of those who are studying for the LSAT i.e. law school bound who have not been/are not active job seekers have a LinkedIn account.

I'm a college grad and I don't have an account. I thought I wouldn't derive much benefits from LinkedIn until I get to law school and deactivated my previous one since I didn't use it much.

Do you guys have a LinkedIn account? Should I get one again?

I was PTing for August before the new formats came out and now all of my old data is locked away in the old format section, including the questions I've already taken. Really unfortunate that I can't see which PT's ive already unsealed when looking at the new formats, need to constantly be switching back and forth. Can you guys please work out a fix to merge progress between new and old formats, specifically which questions we've already done? Annoying I'm paying for 7sage and wasting time on spreadsheets when you guys have all the data #help

Hey I am very interested in joining and just want an idea on how to even approach this course. Currently I am thinking about going through all the curriculum(I have 8 hours a day to spend on this), taking a diagnostic test, seeing where I am at, going to sign up for either a class or coach version, take drills and get a custom study plan. Is this a good plan, what plan do you suggest? I also want to know how do i know when to take my prep tests, do you guys offer any type of timing or anything so i can know whether or not I am taking an exam to early or too late. Also what is the difference between the coach plan and a private tutor. I mainly just want to have a structured plan (without me having to guess when I have to take a exam etc) while also getting real feedback?

Hi all,

I took the LSAT in February and I was hoping to retake it again in June. Unfortunately, I broke my right elbow on Thursday. I am right handed and i'm typing this all with my left hand as we speak.

Has anyone here studied without you non-dominant hand? Any help on strategies on how to diagram logic games without writing it out by hand? I am more concerned w LG than the other sections. Hopefully I'll be healed by May.

Thanks!

September retaker here - my average was in the mid 160s (Feb. 2014, studied by taking all PTs 40 onward, doing the 7Sage Logical Reasoning curriculum, and looking at 7Sage Logic Game explanations) and I'm hoping to break 170 this coming fall!

I'm looking for a study buddy in the Madison area who would be interested in meeting up about once a week for 1-2 hours to talk over pesky questions that keep bothering us even after we pore over them. I had a study buddy in Houston for the Feb. test, and it worked out wonderfully between us - we turned out to be great resources for each other throughout the studying process. I'm hoping to find a great study buddy here in Madison as well!

Anyway, please message me if you're at all interested; I'd love to hear about your progress and would be more than happy to do a number exchange!

Hello.

I am taking the test in September.

I have accommodations and I requested the experimental section to be removed. I was wondering if I need to take the my practice test with or without the experimental section.

Thank you!
