Hi everyone,

I've been studying on my own for about 5-6 months, and I am taking the June LSAT coming up. I just recently learned about 7sage and decided to subscribe in the month before my test. Obviously, I don't have nearly enough time to go through all of the material, which brings me to my question: are there are any lessons that you guys felt were the most helpful - or maybe triggered an "aha" moment in your brain - in each of LG, LR, and RC respectively?

Currently, LG is my strongest (scoring around 17-21/23) with LR and RC both behind trailing behind (19-20/25 and 20-21/27). Would welcome any advice given the one month timeline I have right now.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

New to the forum here.

I’m looking to take LSAT Flex in one the US territory islands near Asia (as some test dates aren’t available in Asia)

One thing that i’m concerned about is internet connectivity..

Have any of you guys had problems with taking LSAT Flex due to poor or slow internet connection?

Should I just go for the US mainland?

Your responses will be insightful

any engineer/math majors who found it terribly difficult to do LG on computer-based test, and were able to get into 17x on computer-based lsat official administration?

how exactly do you work on lg on paper for every answer choice?

it seems much more difficult than LG during paper-based test days, as most if not almost all answer choices need transcribing on paper to be worked on.

earlier the answer choices were already on paper, so one could just draw on their top or check them against own diagram on paper.

i find it almost impossible now.

i have taken LSAT before during its paper-based days and have a 17x score, which is now expiring, and need retake.

LG was almost perfect for me on paper in 35 min.

but i have taken PT several times on computer now and it's much worse.

I am performing pretty well when I take the sections individually, but I am not doing so great when I take the entire PTs. I find it that I get 2-3 (sometimes even 5) more wrong per section when I take the entire PTs. If anyone had similar experience, how did you overcome this? What helped you the most?

In case it helps, for the past month or so, I have been doing and reviewing at least 3 sections everyday (not necessarily from same PTs though). If I don't have time to do a full section, I would do at least 1 full LR and 2 games and 2 passages. This approach has been helpful, so I get used to "switching" modes.

Hi all!

As the title suggests, I'm rather new to LSAT studying and just purchased 7Sage (grinded a little through PS bibles until I felt I wasn't understanding them very well). I've taken a diagnostic in Dec 2021, studied on and off until my real LSAT in April. I got a sadly lower score than I anticipated, but it encouraged me to invest in 7Sage and study differently.

With that being said, I just took another timed PT and scored a better one with still some big areas for improvement. I've already done the blind review.

What's the next step from here? Do I look for 7Sage content that tackles the topics I got wrong or go through question-by-question to work through each problem again? What has been most beneficial to you all when starting out? I want to be as effective and efficient with my time as possible as my tentative goal is to take the LSAT again in October.

I'll post my scores if it'll provide context :) (As an FYI, I haven't completely "learned" LG or RC yet and have spent the majority of my time thus far in LR.)

Thanks and good hunting to all!

Hi 7Sage Community,

I would love to get some advice on how to study once you have run out of practice tests. I have been studying for about a year and have 3 clean PTs left. I am taking the June exam, but also am planning to take the August exam (just to be safe). Does anyone have advice on when to use those clean PTs and how to utilize old PTs effectively? Thank you!

Heyyy,

I am planning on taking the October LSAT in the Middle East. Thing is, I have heard that the only available time slots are usually between 2 am and 5.30 am which is a major disadvantage. I can't imagine taking the LSAT during those times and doing well.

Any one have any experience with this? Also, how early will the time slots open up for booking...

I haven't paid for my test yet and wasn't sure if this will cause me to be late on choosing a time slot.

Thanks :)

Is there any available resource to compare how difficult PT-X's LG section with PT-Y's LG section as a whole?

E.g. for an average 170-scorer, how many approximate misses in PT-55 LG compared to PT-75 LG within 35 mins in strict test conditions.

This is not referring to how difficult an individual Game but only LG section as a whole.

Hi I took the April LSAT and got a 161. Much lower than my average Pt's. My last 5 PT average is 168.6 and my last 10 is a 166.8. If anybody wants free tutoring I'm offering it. This is would be my first time tutoring someone and also keep in mind I am still in the process of taking this exam. The reason I am doing this is because it would benefit me as well in explaining topics or AC's to someone. If interested lmk

Please also DM a short paragraph where you are in your study journey/ skills/ weaknesses/ how many PTs you have taken/ if you've finished the CC/ and anything else you'd think is important to state.

Hi all! I'm looking for some suggestions on structuring my study schedule for the upcoming September test.

A bit on my background:

I started studying around mid May on Khan Academy/LSAT Trainer. First diagnostic was 155, upped it to 161 a week later after actually learning how to do LGs. However, I felt super unstructured and wanted class-like direction so here I am! On my diagnostic here, I got a 157: -3 on LG (personal best, but abnormally good) -10 RC (100% accurate, my worst section), -5 & -9 on LR (little worse than normal)

My goal is 170+ and I learn the best by doing, which brings me to my issue:

On my current 7sage study schedule, I'll have to PT literally everyday for two months straight. Obviously I know the study schedule isn't the only right method, but I'm unsure when to start PT'ing regularly. I'd like to start soon and get through as many tests as possible. Should I touch on a module or two for each section to get some strategy, start PT'ing and then go through CC as normal? I know I have a limited amount of PTs so I don't want to waste them. Are there any modules you felt were the "fundamentals" of each section?

Additional question: I've found that I've been anticipating the the end of PTs because I'm looking for immediate gratification to see if my score improved. Is this an endurance thing that I'll stop over time or should I delay BR to the next day to curb this habit? I know BR should be done fresh but I'm concerned this habit is distracting me and causing me to rush.

Thanks so much!!

Hey all,

I took the June LSAT & apparently life hates me. First, I got covid TWO days before the test. I spoke to LSAC & they were ok with me testing on a different date. I decided to take the test anyway. I had previously warned all my friends & family not to call or msg me during the test. However, true to form, my mother called me during section 2. The phone was out of reach behind me but DND apparently doesn’t to apply to all contacts & a loud vibration could be heard. I did not react or make a motion to reach or silence the phone. My proctor did not reach out or mention anything but I’m wondering, if the phone call plus my incessant coughing would potentially flag my session. I’m an adult & aware that it was my decision to take the test but I’m wondering if anyone has an experience or advice.

Hi All,

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I started my LSAT journey with a diagnostic score of 140. I am currently scoring in the low 160s and blind reviewing at 174+. I plan to sit for the LSAT between September/October.

I am in need of a study buddy of the description below:

a) scores in the high 150s and low 160s;

b) interested in taking the LSAT in September/October;

c) aims at reaching a 170 ballpark; and

d) ready to be a committed and dedicated study buddy.

If this is you, please inbox me.

Second, I need people who are scoring in the 140s who want to raise their scores to mid 150s and low 160s. I would be sharing helpful information that has served me well in this process, especially on Logical Reasoning and Logic Games. This is all for free. It is my way of giving back to this community and also a means to solidifying the contents I have learned so far. Also, because the LSAT can be a lonely and frustrating journey, if you just want to vent, I am here for you. If you feel this is for you, please inbox me.

Whatever your score is at this time, please know that that is immaterial. You can reach any score you want in this test (regardless of your diagnostic score) if you are willing to mentally sweat for it.

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering on what's your approach on working through the Core Curriculum (CC) which includes some Practice Sets and then doing Extra Drills (making custom Drills on Problem Sets page). Specifically:

What is your weekly schedule like? While this is subjective, I am trying to understand what the balance of doing CC Topics, Practice Sets and extra Drills (if any) is for everyone.

Do you complete the week's assigned CC topics including all Problem Sets or leave some sets behind to come back say after finishing the CC?

When Doing the Problem sets after a CC topic (or even when doing extra Drills), what is your approach in regards to timing? I.E. Are you doing them in standard timing, or give yourself more time or do it in Untimed mode.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Few facts:

  • Planning on taking October LSAT

  • Started studying from beginning of June 2022

  • Working my way through LR section

    I scored lower on my retake (168) than my first score (169)

    I studied for the first take about 3-4 hours a day/5days a week for about 5 months, after a 5 month period in between

    my retake was about 2-3 hours a day 4 days a week for another 4 months

    My first score was my PT avg the month prior going into the test

    My retake was a total underperformance, as I was PTing around 171-173 a month going in...

    I retook because I was WL at my top school choices... with my 169...

    I'm very disappointed because I really felt confident in my retake especially with a better familiarity of the material this time around...

    my LG was 0/-1, LR 0/-4 (avg -2), RC was -3/-6 ( avg -4)

    I have used all the recent PT's and the rest for sections and problem sets...

    I am definitely thinking about August with the deadline approaching....

    How do I approach studying as I used most of the material with no fresh PT to gauge my standing

    I appreciate any input

    Thank you all!

    I am currently with three other people studying for the LSAT at Gangnam on weekdays afternoon. We book a study cafe meeting room for three hours and do one LG and one LR sections and discuss about why we have chosen an answer choice we chose. This method surprisingly helps on how we end up making a stupid decision when we choose an answer because we talk about our reasoning out loud. One member has an official score of 172 on the LSAT Flex, the other is a PhD student, and the last member is getting around 160s. We are slated to meet at Gangnam station study cafe on upcoming Wednesday, July 6 from 7:00 pm-10:00 pm. The fee for using the study cafe is 5,700 KRW per person. If anyone is interested in joining, please send me an email at valuequietness@gmail.com with a brief introduction whether in Korean or English. Thanks!

    We have, so far, five people including me joining the upcoming study session at Gangnam on Thursday, July 7 from 9 pm-11 pm. We can have around two more people if anyone else wants to join. We only meet offline because it is difficult to coordinate the time zone with other folks within 7Sage platform given that we are on the other side of the globe from the US and Canada. Participants in our group score ranges from mid 150 to early 170 official score wise. If anyone wants to join, feel free to send me a private message with a brief introduction.
