my gpa is 3.54 but on lsac it says my gpa is between 3.5 and 3.74 which is "mostly A's"..........does this mean that , according to law schools, a gpa of 3.5 is identical to a gpa of 3.73? because they are in the same range? how does that work?

Does 7Sage plan on updating the "modern" simulation to reflect the test? While there are only 3 scored sections, test takers take 4 sections, still. Considering this seems like a relatively easy addition, I am wondering if there are any plans to make a change.

Thank you!

Hey guys,

i need some advice, im kinda in a pickle and over thinking so posting my thoughts here. Im currently 24 - working full time as legal assistant started studying for the LSAT this summer and im scheduled to take the Nov 2023 exam. this will be my first exam. I'm feeling okay about everything but nervous that i'll do bad and have to retake in Jan. I wanted to apply for 2024 cycle but im scared that If i do need to retake in Jan that it will either be me rushing to submit apps in for the 2024 cycle OR i'll still need to improve my LSAT score. I'm currently PTing 1 x week in lower 149-151 range rn & have a 3.7 gpa (calculated on LSAC). a) Should i still have my apps in before Jan, even if i retake in Jan OR; b) should i hold off apps and sumbit super early next fall for the 2025 cycle, once i feel more confident getting a better LSAT score? If i do wait I would still want to take the LSAT before the august change.

Big news: starting in August 2024, the LSAT will no longer include a Logic Games section. Instead, it will have a second Logical Reasoning section.

Read more about this change and how we're helping test-takers prepare in this blog post.

Check out our new score converter tool, which lets you use old PTs to get a sense for how you'd score on the two-LR version of the test.

Hi everyone!

I am needing a little motivation and help. I keep taking timed exams but my scores are not increasing. I am taking my exam in January and I know I still have time to improve but it has just been really discouraging. Any tips on what I should do? Thanks!

In August 2024, LSAC will remove the Logic Games section, replacing it with a second scored Logical Reasoning section. We’re having a free webinar Wednesday, October 25 from 8–9 pm where 7Sage Partner Scott Milam and Director of Tutoring Aastha Sinha will discuss what this change means for the future of the test and your own studying!

Does anyone know what happened to close captions? I was using them to be able to study while working, and now I don't see them at all...

Any ideas on how to get the most mileage out of some of the earlier prep tests?

I was planning to study for the August 2024 LSAT but now that LG is gone, should I just stop studying it? How does this affect the core curriculum of 7sage, are they just going to remove it? From now on, do I just stop doing the LG section on PTs?

So confused, please let me know what you all are going to do.

I only see a handful of practice prompts for the writing on 7sage. Shouldn't there be one writing prompt for each LSAT?

Hello 7Sage community,

I hope this message finds you well on your LSAT journey :)

I wanted to take a moment to share my own experience, as it may resonate with some of you who are navigating significant life changes alongside LSAT preparation.

I embarked on this LSAT journey with dedication, allocating countless hours to studying for the test. I've benefited immensely from the tools and support offered by 7Sage, and I want to express my gratitude for that. The skills I've honed during this process are invaluable and will serve me well in life.

However, life doesn't always follow a straight path. Major career shifts, housing challenges, and relationship changes have shifted my focus and priorities. I decided to put the LSAT on hold to navigate these transitions effectively.

I'm sharing this not to discourage anyone but to contribute my own story and data point to the wide array of LSAT preparation experiences out there. The LSAT journey can take a holistic toll – financially, emotionally, and professionally. I wish I had come across posts like this earlier to help me evaluate my preparation choices within the context of my life circumstances.

I'm not closing the door on the LSAT. It's a journey I may return to when it aligns with my life circumstances. For now, I'm focusing on adapting to the changes life has presented.

I wish each and every one of you a happy and successful learning journey. Cherish the skills you're developing; they'll serve you well beyond the LSAT.

Can I take the LSAT online and the writing in person, or vice versa?

Or do they both have to be take either online or in-person?

Hi all (:

I'm now finally scoring above my goal score on BR and have gotten to the point where I think I can consistently score in the range I'd want as my real test score- but ONLY on blind review. I'm still a few points under on my timed PTs. This shows me that I'm capable of scoring what I want but I feel like my main issue is speed, as I usually run out of time for the last few questions on LR ~1-3 (0 if I'm lucky lol) and RC I usually end up skimming the last passage and don't have enough time for notes. ): I'd appreciate any tips anyone might have on just getting faster? Like any drills/methods you use?

Hi, I would like to be granted access to the Core Curriculum V2. Please advise.

I have been clocking the activate button to link my account but it will not let me log in or link.

I have recently started taking prep tests to gear up for the November exam and I am wondering what method people have used to ensure that they have a good feel for the old/recent tests. Is it advised to skip around, start from old to new, or from new to old? Also, is taking 3/4 sections worth it? Or do you guys feel as if it has helped taking all 4 even though one of them is unscored?

Thanks!

I just decided to do this today and take an untimed practice test. I really am thrilled with my score because it means I can score higher than I thought I could. It doesn't mean I will magically get that score on test day, but it does mean I understand more of the material than I thought I did. It makes me feel a lot more confident & proud in the work I have just put in for these past few months. Yes the time pressure will always be there, but I now know I have a lot more of the concepts down than I even thought.

This is more to boost your confidence in your studies. I have been threw a rut believing that it was impossible for me to score higher than I was on timed PT, but this changes that narrative. I can do it, now it's time to get faster. How can I speed up my process and maintain that accuracy, is the next step in the process. No more learning new things, you're just improving and refining what you already know. :) hope this helps!

Hi everyone, I am feeling so incredibly infuriated with my current score plateau and I can't seem to be improving. I have read that score plateaus are very common but how does one break through? Ive tried powering through, taking breaks for a few days but the score will not change no matter what I do. My BR scores are decent but I just find myself getting so frustrated and actually angry at this point.

Anya advice would be greatly appreciated.

All, please help me to stop pulling l my hair out.

Two weeks ago, I switched to exclusively using Lawhub for my PTs since I'll be testing for the Nov 2023 LSAT and wanted to be accustomed to the format.

Before that, I had been scoring in the high 160s (165, 169, 170, 168) and nabbed a 170 once.

However, since I have switched, I got a 164, a 163, and just got a 164. It's wildly frustrating, especially because I am seeing trends in my scores I have never seen before (I usually get -4 or better on RC, but got a -6 and -7 on my previous two PTs) that seem to defy my previous understanding of my strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, there are a few things happening in my life that may be contributing to this, so it's been hard for me to isolate what the causes might be. I'm worried that the layout/fixed order/extra LR on Lawhub is a major contributing cause, but I can't tell. Further, I feel like it's important that I get comfortable with the layout whether I like it or not.

In trying to understand this, I wanted to get people's experience and input.

How do I interpret this significant drop in my scores? How can I tell whether my previously higher scores or my current scores are the fluke trend?

Has anyone else seen score fluctuations when they test on Lawhub as opposed to 7Sage? And, by extension, what are your thoughts regarding the modern (3-passage) vs. legacy (4-passage with the extra LR) for accurately assessing ability?

As general advice, what did you do to break the high 160s ceiling/plateau?

Thanks all for your input, and please help me reduce the amount of time I need to spend doing anti-frustration meditations on Spotify.

Hi everyone, im asking for your thoughts and opinions. I graduate with my BA in philosophy in december. Im taking the october and november lsat. I plan on starting law school in august. I really want a job as a legal assistant from january-august. Would a big law firm want a temporary hire? Ive had friends tell me i shouldnt disclose going to law school at all… but that feels icky… like starting a romantic relationship with someone knowing youre moving countries in 8 months.. haha.

The answer for this probably differs depending on the individual but is there a generally accepted number of PTs that are recommended before doing the real thing?

Hey everyone I'm trying to begin prepping and learning but I don't know where to start. I can't just take practice exams without having learned anything. What resources do you guys recommend me to start with to learn the material itself?

Hey! So I just took the LSAT Writing through ProctorU and didn't understand when exactly to complete the initial room scan. I ended up submitting the scan checklist, realizing there was no option to "start scan now", and completed a room scan before actually initiating the exam. I also got disconnected from Wifi a few minutes in, where I successfully reconnected and completed the room scan correctly the second time, but will this cause problems for my sample getting approved?

Hi everyone, I am taking the LSAT in November and have decided to skip PT 60's and 70's in favor of doing more recent tests. Am I going crazy or are the PT80s considerably harder than the others? Even in BR, I initially was getting in the low 170's but now I seem to be BRing in the low to mid 160s! It has definitely made me nervous and I feel a little burned out so perhaps I'll take a few days off after review.

Just wanted to get everyones opinions and any advice would be great!

Also I have been working on my timing and not getting freaked out during the test, especially when coming across very difficult questions, misc LGs or challenging RC passages like the ones in PT85.
