Could anyone kindly give me some advice? My LSAT score is one point lower than the last time. This is my second LSAT taking, and I plan not to take LSAT in the future. So should I cancel my score this time or should I keep it?

I've had kind of a rough history with the LSAT. My first exam was in Jan 2021. In 2023, I took the exam 3 times (Jan, Aug, October) and then took it in January of 2024. Long story short, I really pressured myself to get a great score for the 2023 cycle and it backfired on me. For the Jan 2024 exam, I received some bad news about my grandma concerning her health before my exam and it severely impacted my performance.

I submitted an appeal to LSAC to register for the August 2024 exam, but they aren't reviewing appeals for the 2024-2025 cycle until registration for the August exam opens. Do I have a chance at getting my appeal approved?

I’ve been PTing in the low to mid 160s (I should add that I haven’t been PTing much, I’ve probably completed 4-5 in the last 3 months because I had just finish the CC and was focused on drilling). My PT last week was 162 (which was lower than my last) and 167 BR. I made a lot of silly mistakes on it such as missing an “except” in question stem and misreading a premise to say the opposite. Since then I’ve been really hammering my main areas of weakness and taking time to go over my thinking. Anyway, since I was bored at work today I decided to do an Untimed PT since I knew I’d be interrupted. I scored a 175 (UNTIMED**) and a 176 BR. I just really don’t know what I should take away from this. I know this isn’t reflective of my score for a timed test. I don’t have any issue with timing in that I always finish and have a few min left over to go back, but can I infer that it’s an issue of not being able to apply my deeper knowledge in a fast enough pace? I guess I’m asking what you guys would take away from this in terms of applying it to your studying and getting the score under timed conditions?

I'm having a really rough time with creating a study guide and how to even approach studying.

Can you recommend any study guide and studying tips that have worked for you? I'm willing to try different methods to see which one would be best for me.

I am getting to the SA part of the curriculum, and it doesn't seem to have the review or theory and approach sections in the later question types. Is there a plan to add that or is the v2 curriculum finished? Would love to know if there is a timeline for adding those parts of the curriculum if the ccv2 curriculum is still being worked on.

If you're ready to get more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. The next Proctored PT will take place on Saturday February 24 at 1:00 PM.

Thanks to all who could come last week to the PT and BR sessions. On Monday we covered your flagged LR questions from PT76 S2, focusing on the most difficult ones first. Virulent diseases, email disclaimers, and cancelling police dramas made it into the mix! On Tuesday, we covered RC (S1), which led us to into a whirlwind of positive vs. negative evidence, the discovery of Neptune, and a hot take on Schoenberg's music being actually ~good~. Who knew the LSAT was so interesting?

Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

  • Register by clicking the blue ‘Register’ button on this page.
  • Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.

    Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This week's recommended PT is test 77; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday and Tuesday! (BR Series). You can take the PT through 7Sage, or- if you want to simulate real test-day conditions- you can log into LawHub and take it there.

    Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 PM ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

    Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctors will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to indicate your preference. If only the Prometric proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you will be able to test with those.

    If you have any questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

    I was wondering if anyone knew how long it took for the LSAC to release past LSAT tests for practice? For example, I took the LSAT in November 2022 and want to look over that test but when would it be available on Law Hub/to everyone?

    Hi!

    My friend who went to Yonsei UIC and I are starting an online LSAT study group. He has an official score of 176 and my score fluctuates from 166-172. I am not sure if this means anything but I have a degree from Johns Hopkins.

    We meet at 7 pm-9 pm Korean Standard Time on Wednesday.

    I have a Zoom Pro, so we can meet without interruption.

    If you are interested, please send me a DM and I will invite you to the KakaoTalk group chat!

    Thanks! (:

    Hi all! Looking to see if anyone has any recomendations for how to build a study schedule after taking a PT. My current plan is to take a PT bi-weekly Fridays and spend my days going over specific question types I've missed. Should I also consider doing full length sections a day during my week? Throw your study schedule/suggestions in the comments - Thanks all!

    Hi all,

    I've been studying for the LSAT for ~3 months now in preparation for the April LSAT, and I was consistently in the 166-170 range before finally hitting my target of 172+ (173) recently. What steps should I be taking to maintain this score in the month remaining before my test?

    I take plenty of PrepTests and do lots of drills, but sometimes I feel like doing these drills isn't helping me learn -- like JY said in a video, it's almost like I'm doing them just for the bet of hoping I score well once I see my results. I also don't have one particular 'weakness', so I feel like going back in the curriculum isn't too useful.

    Would really love any advice!

    I have taken the LSAT before in a testing center (when they first became available again after COVID). I plan to take the June 2024 LSAT and am thinking of taking it remotely because I feel like in the testing center, I was distracted and it caused me even more stress, especially since it was not the same as my study area. So, for those who have taken the remote LSAT, what was that like? I know I have heard some horror stories but I do not know if that was the testing experience for the majority of test takers.

    Hi!

    My friend who went to Yonsei UIC and I are starting an online LSAT study group. He has an official score of 176 and my score fluctuates from 166-172. I am not sure if this means anything but I have a degree from Johns Hopkins. We also have another member who scores around low-170s in the PTs.

    We meet at 7 pm-9 pm Korean Standard Time on Wednesday.

    I have a Zoom Pro, so we can meet without interruption.

    We also plan to meet offline at Gangnam station for a group study or maybe even a dinner or drinks if we gather enough people.

    Thanks! (:

    Hey guys! So I took a practice test in 2023 without any studying and scored a 139. I recently took the same exam and another practice test and scored 149. Is that improvement? I don't know if I should be happy or a bit disappointed. My blind review is 153. I went up 10 points in both blind review and timed test. I'm not sure if I should be scoring high after doing the core curriculum and drills. The only section that hasn't improved in reading comprehension.

    On drills, I usually go -2 on RC, -2 on LG, and anywhere from -1 to -3 on LR. But when I take PTs, my mistakes double. This has been going on for several months now.

    Most recently, I split PTs 63, 64, and 65 into four individual drills. After adding up the score from each drill, my totals were 170, 173, and 171, respectively.

    I just took PT 65 as a full practice test and got slammed with a 165.

    It hasn't always been like this. In July last year, I was hitting the 170s with relative ease on full PTs. I took a break from hardcore studying because of work, but I made it a point to keep up with drilling. So why am I doing so poorly on PTs? Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi all,

    I never thought I would be asking about this on the 7Sage forum, but I figured I would since you all want to go to law school. Are there any jobs that require a college degree but no professional experience? Ideally those that relate to legal work. Also, if you all have any suggestions on where to look I would appreciate any direction.

    Hi guys,

    I am taking April LSAT and I just took PT88 and got score with -6 drop from my usual. I am not too worried about LG -2/-3 is ok for me but I just got like -12 in LR and -15 in RC. I usually get between -6/-9 for LR so I guess 3 more questions I can pass but I usually get -6 on RC with max -9 but with -15 in this RC I don't know what to do anymore.

    Has anyone seen this major drop with scores with this PT particularly or maybe few weeks before the actual exam? I took one from the 90s and I didn't even do that bad on it so now I am confused where I lie. My scores have not dropped nor increased (LOL) for like the past few months and I was pretty happy with my score of 159~ 162. I got 153 on this PT so what will be the actual score on the real one? OR is this PT just from hell and I should just burn it and act like it never existed LOLOL

    I need help

    Ok, I did a practice session on the LSAT practice on LSAC. I bombed it spectacularly with 5/23. I have autism and sometimes have problems with testing. Is there any LSAT prep programs that are in person? Thank you
