Do we blind review every section? So basically review all of our circled questions, maybe even re-read the reading comp passages at a slower pace to confirm answer choices etc.? We basically can review the whole test at a slow untimed pace? THEN check our answers?

Also for full length PT's do you blind review the same day you took it or the day after? What do you think is more useful? Obviously when I am doing section drilling I will BR immediately after.

Any advice would be awesome! Thanks!!!!!

Hey everyone I just started studying for the LSAT I'm not from Toronto but interning here at a law firm for the summer and looking for other people around the area who are also gearing up to take their LSAT. Would love to create a group or find anyone who is looking for someone to study with.

Hello 7sagers!

I've recently started studying for the LSAT and with a low diagnostic score of 140, I have created a time - line for myself to study for at least 6 months - 1 year, in order to improve to a 170. I do realize that a 30 pt jump is incredibly rare, but I am the type of individual who has never been naturally talented, but rather was able to succeed because of my work - ethic. I ended high school with a 2.1 GPA and now towards the end of my undergraduate career, I've maintained a 4.0 GPA at my university, which I accredit to my work - ethic.

I wanted to reach out and ask the members of 7sage about how to approach preparing for the exam. I have purchased various course material that I want to use, but I do not know the best way in tackling the various LSAT prep material that I have compiled for myself. I am currently studying the LSAT Trainer and using the 8 - week plan listed on his website, which I plan to have finished by the end of this July. I also have purchased the PowerScore Bibles, as well as the 7sage course in order to help improve my score, but I do not know how to incorporate both of them into my study schedule, after completing the LSAT Trainer.

Beginning in August, I will be able to transition fully into the 7sage CC , after completing the LSAT trainer, but I also would like to complete the PowerScore Bibles as well. I wanted to know how to tackle the situation, since I plan on taking the LSAT in December as a flex, and taking it again next June to apply for the next cycle. I would truly appreciate any feedback provided and would be extremely grateful for the help that I receive!

*I also study for 25 - 30 hours a week, as it was recommended by anyone trying to seriously improve their score and take a day off to prevent burn out.

Hi everyone! I'm not sure what to do about this, so hoping maybe someone else has experienced the same issue. I haven't been able to use the search function in Lawhub for a long time, and it didn't work on my June test (didn't submit for a retake, I didn't realize I could). The highlight function also often hits the wrong words, which takes even longer to get through RC. Has anyone else has this happen, and how did you fix it?

Thank you!!

Ignore. Made by mistake

Hi need some help here. JY mentioned that we should take a break between taking a practice test and doing a blind review but should we still do this for drills? I find that I'm too close to the questions to honestly blind review them after but don't want to stop my momentum (especially since I work full time and am studying whenever I can block time off in my schedule/weekends). Does anyone have tips for being efficient with studying and blind reviewing in a way that makes a true difference?

Hey everyone, I am hoping y'all have some advice on how you go about reading comprehension on the digital LSAT. A lot of the CC teaches methods like a low res summary next to the paragraph and slashes indicating a switch in topic. Any recommendations on how to make the most out of your scratch paper for RC? I am currently struggling the most with RC and I am really eager to make improve. Any advice is appreciated!

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.

Today i woke up to finish preptest 147, and noticed that the LR section i finished yesterday had only 3 questions marked as answered. So rather than retake the rest of the qs (which would take more time), i pulled up the answers on 7sage and filled them in using the answer key like i was cheating. The especially strange thing is that between my two takings of this LR section, i took a different LR from 146, and that was indeed not lost this morning. Has anyone else experiences such quirks with Lawhub losing data?

I am doing some of the recent PTs and find myself struggle with the relationship among ideal experiment, control groups and causation. (eg: May2020 LR Q11, Q14). I know that ideal experiment could produce a casual outcome, but I still tend to make mistakes on questions testing the ideas of having control groups or of similar concepts. Are there any recommended material that I could read to better understand those concepts on the LSAT?

Many thanks!

I have been struggling with timing and anxiety with the clock running, which I feel like is developing because I keep over thinking even the simplest of problems. I recently took a preptest and got a 161 timed and my blind review was a 171. Pretty big difference, and proud of myself for the blind review score. Most of my mistakes come from logical reasoning. I actually usually have about 1 1/2 minutes at the end of each section.

Any tips on how to learn how to close this gap that have worked for you guys?

Hi everyone, I feel like I'm at an intersection in my LSAT studying journey and I need some advice!

So before we start here are some facts:

1- I only started studying for the LAST in the last 3 months.

2- English is my second language.

3- My undergrad was very technical & quantitative.

So early February I took a diagnostic test and scored 143. I tried to follow Khan Academy's curriculum, but it didn't feel structured enough for me, so I switched to 7Sage about two months ago. On average I'm putting around 8 hours a week into LSAT studying, and I'm planning to write the LSAT in August. My goal (although might be ambitious) is to score at least 170.

Two weeks into 7Sage and after I finished the foundation module, I took another PT and scored 149 & BR 151. Two weeks later, I was about 30% through the LR module, I took another PT and scored 156 and BR 158. This last weekend, I am a little over 60% through the LR module, I scored 153 and BR 162.

In RC, I'm facing the same issue like everyone else, TIME! I consistently find myself with only 1 min left for passage #4. However, for the three passages that I actually have enough time to read through. I'm scoring fairly well (I think). For example, my last PT I got 16 questions right and only 3 wrong, that's for the first three passages in the first RC section, and these are fairly consistent with the results of the other RC sections.

In LR, I find myself running out of time but because I know I have a terrible time management strategy of skipping harder questions so I end up spending 3+ mins on one question, and then not have time for the last 5 question in that section that I think I would have gotten, at least some of them right. Additionally, I found myself getting stagnant in my LR progress in the last few weeks.

My questions are:

1- Would it be wise to stop studying for LR for a bit and focus on RC? My reasoning is that I think there's a big room for improving my RC skills (considering I've never studied for it), and even a marginal improvement would boost my score a few points. Also, I'm hoping that a break from LR might help me get a fresh perspective when I return to it after two weeks.

2- Considering my tight timeline to write the LSAT, I was thinking of getting private tutoring in about a month from now to hopefully help me boost my score, do you think that's worth it? From the people who did get private tutors how was your experience?

3- Are my numbers good considering all the facts mentioned above? Is 170 an attainable goal for me? I know I need to improve my studying strategy and I need to put in more hours drilling and not just going through the curriculum. The question is, by how much do I need to increase the number of weekly studying hours in order to get to 170 by August!

If you made it this far, thank you and I hope my writing was comprehendible!

Hey 7sagers,

I am interested in looking into getting a tutor for the LSAT. Before I do so, I was wondering if you have gotten an LSAT tutor, how have your experiences be? What areas did you use them to help you in? How have they helped you improve your mark?

For me I am looking into getting a Tutor for LR & RC, study plans, etc.

Any stories, tips and info are recommended.

I am anxious to see my LSAC GPA, the 7sage calculator shows a substantial increase because of my community college grades. This new GPA opens up doors that were otherwise closed. I don't want to get my hopes up until I see the academic report. I don't plan on applying until October 2024. All I have sent are my transcripts could I still purchase CAS??

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:

Taking the September test next week [remotely] and I have been doing all my studying using my monitor and magic trackpad, I know the monitor will have to go on test day, but I scoured LSAC and Prometric's websites to see if a bluetooth mouse is allowed or not, the interest seems to indicate its fine but most answers are a few years old, so I'm unclear if policies have changed with the times or the new proctoring server.

Any guidance would be super helpful!

Hi guys! So I spent the summer working through the 7Sage lesson prep and now am at the stage where I just drill PT's and review them. BUT I am a junior in college who is majoring in Finance and a minor in Econ aka a lot of course load. I also am in a frat and want to join an extra finance club but any suggestions on time management? I am thinking about definitely taking a test every friday and reviewing it sat/sunday. Then taking another test on like monday but taking the tuesday-thursday to review it (i.e. in between my classes and when I have a spare hour) granted there will be weeks that I can't get both tests in can I just get advice from anyone else who has had success balancing work/school with LSAT studying? BTW I am taking the LSAT in February of 2014. Any advice would help!!

Is anyone near Savannah, GA or Hilton Head Island, SC studying for the September or December LSAT? I'm hoping to find someone to prep with.

A quick heads-up:

Since 2018, LSAC has partnered with Khan Academy to offer free LSAT prep. LSAC recently shared the news that they are now transitioning these resources to their own platform, LawHub.

Here are the key takeaways:

Looking for a different reduced-price prep option? If you qualify for an LSAC fee waiver, you can sign up for 7Sage Core+Live for just $1 per year.

As title says, at this point in my studying i am only really getting the 5 star difficulty questions wrong. When i take untimed tests, I'm scoring in the high 170s (ik this doesn't matter lol), but on timed, I'm still scoring in the mid 160s and sometimes high 160s because of these dang 5 star questions!

Btw I am taking August lsat, no LG.

What seems to be the preferred method of studying when you reach this point? I recently also got an lsat lab subscription so I have more explanations available for these 5 star questions (7sage is great, but many explanations are missing or seemed rushed through). But other than drilling 5 stars and the ones I've got wrong, and going over them until i am 100% confident why its right, is there anything else I can be doing? Maybe specific types of drills or like confidence drills? I honestly don't know. I'm getting so tired of months and months of studying. I also have the loophole book so maybe that for LR help? I know I'm capable of 170s but not sure what that final push I need is. I feel like I've hit a plateau.

Hi I'm looking for a study buddy maybe someone that goes to Florida Atlantic University. I'm good at games and reading comprehension just need help with lr. If your struggling with games or the reading comp I can help you and vice versa. If interested just inbox me thanks.

Will 7 sage's explanation videos change in accordance with the new prep tests on LSAC? I know that the new prep tests use prior material, but I'd to know how the explanation videos will change once games are gone. Thank you.

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!
