i was all the way through the old core curriculum when the new version of 7sage came out with all the new prep tests. i have been testing from pt 36 all the way up to pt 61 using the old format but now i want to take pt62-pt94 using the new preptests. however, it doesnt look like the new preptests work that way. would it be okay for me to just continue taking 3 sections of pt 62-94, while adding on an old section for each preptests myself? i like doing the prep tests sequentially, like 62, 63, 64 , 65 etc. i also like how jy ping adds commentary every 4 or 5 prep tests using students live takes and i dont want to lose that.

for someone who has been prep testing sequentially all the way since pt 36, how can i continue to do this while also adding in a 4th section in the most realistic way possible? thank you

I am just now attempting to lock into 7Sage, so where do I begin? I have done test prep before but the specific test prep didn't work well for me. I am a bit overwhelmed about 7Sage's study schedule it created me because I have no idea where the drilling and the full practice test come into the study schedule. For context, I am a full time college student who is heavily involved in extracurricular as well. Any help or mock study schedules would be so helpful!

I scored in the low 170s for my past 3 PTs with -0 LG / -1 to -5 LR / -3 to -5 RC. I felt so confident after writing the PTs and after spending around 3 hours on BRs (ie. thinking I'm going to get -0 in LR). I guess my problems is I really can't figure out the correct answer for some questions even without the time constraints.

How do i move forward? I have only completed 25% of CC, should I go back to CC and leave PT for a while?

7Sage Website Gods,

I love being able to take the PT1-35 LG sections timed and then easily check answers after BRing them by clicking on Resources > Logic Game Explanations.

I would love to be able to do the same thing as I work on LR sections from those same tests. I have the questions already, but to find answers, I have to "score" a PT for the relevant test, then find the question explanation links, then afterwards delete the "scored" PT from my history so it doesn't throw off my analytics.

Any chance you could add a page that would only be visible based on your membership level, and that is formatted like the LG Explanations page, but for LR questions?

If such a resource already exists, or there is an easier way than my current solution, and I just haven't found it, could you point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

-Joe

I am currently working on writing my personal statement and I am not a great writer, at all!! I have heard many ways to go about topics to discuss, what to include, and what not to include.

Can someone offer any help or advice?!? Possible proofreading and provide unbiased feedback?

My app was placed on "reserve" which I don't know if its a fancy or nice way of saying waitlisted. Either way they gave me 2 weeks to upload a LOCI. I applied late in the cycle so not much new achievements to mention, and I already wrote a Why Essay. Should I reiterate or expand on those points again in the LOCI? What additional info should I include, and how long should it be? I read the 7sage articles but wanted some additional info.

Hi future 1L's! I'm Briyana and I will be taking my LSAT in February 2017. I'm looking for a study buddy, who is very serious about making a decent score (158+) . I'm actually in the Summerville and Ladson area. I will begin studying in October 2016, but will have materials in September. Not sure if this will work or not but thought I'd give it a try. Good Luck, Happy Testing!

Hi all,

I took the December LSAT this past Saturday and as soon as my first section started, two people in my class realized they were in the wrong room (they needed to be in the room giving them extra accommodations), so there was a loud commotion for a good 10 minutes as they were trying to figure things out, all while the timer was running. Pretty sure it docked a good few points for me... I get it, stuff happens. Just bummed that it had to happen in my room on what I was hoping would be my first and only take... I contacted LSAC and they said if I moved forward with the complaint, it'd delay my receipt of my scores for 2+ weeks so I'm thinking it's not worth it to pursue, as I'm already on the later end of the rolling application process.

That being said, if I were to explain what happened on an additional addendum, do you think law schools would just perceive it as a sissy excuse? I'm probably retaking in February but some of the schools I'm applying to don't accept the February LSAT.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Drills?

How do we study for the new LSAT if we don’t want to “contaminate” the prep tests by running into problems that we already solved by following the study schedule provided by 7sage? I want to solve practice problems, but am afraid that I would remember the answers for the questions when i’m taking the PTs in the future…

For the flex, do we have to take the test with a desk against a wall or is a kitchen table/table in an open room okay? I tried calling LSAC but the phone lines ran busy so I was wondering if anyone had any info. Thank you!

I recently completed the CC and decided to take a post-CC practice test and scored a 151. I've only taken a total of 3 timed practice tests and I scored a 145 diagnostic mid-June (PTJ07), a 151 at the end of July (PT85), and then a 151 today on PT 50. I didn't BR because I had other commitments and just wanted to know where I stood. I have been studying full time since June and my LSAT is scheduled for November. I essentially have 2 months left and was wondering how to proceed from here? Do I start taking pretests 1-35? or do I take 36-60 because they're more accurate? LG and LR are roughly -8 (I don't usually have time to finish either section) but untimed I can score -3 on LGs. My RC is (expectedly) my worst section at -16. My goal is at least a 160.

Feeling extremely overwhelmed and stuck because of my score. I haven't seen any improvement besides feeling like I understand the questions more, and wanted any advice on how to proceed and reach my goal. I'm willing to commit 6 hours a day, 7 days a week to studying (which is what I've been doing).

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 everyone,

I recently signed up for 7Sage and just took my first practice exam. I wanted to see my results without completing the actual blind review, so the blind review results were obviously the same as my practice test results.

Is it recommended to complete the blind review immediately after taking the practice test? To people who do that, does that mean you are essentially taking the same exam for 5+ hours?

Appreciate any insights on the best way to complete the blind review after taking a 3 hour practice test!

Thank you,

RJ

Date Taken: Dec. 2nd, 2017

Proctors: Really great. Timing was perfect. I had a watch that I started as soon as the proctor started and they were correct on timing down to the second. It's mostly law students (we had four in our room) with an administrator over-seeing all four rooms.

Facilities: FSU College of Law.

What kind of room: Large, lecture-style classroom. They had four rooms, broken down by last name. Very well organized and easy to find.

How many in the room: 50ish

Desks: Those long, connected desks. Plenty of room. I was spread out and never ran into the girl beside me. They put one seat between each test.

Left-handed accommodation: Maybe? I'm a lefty and was placed in the last seat on the left hand side (so no risk of me hitting another student) but that might have just been a coincidence. It really wasn't needed.

Noise levels: Very quiet. I was a little concerned about the break, but it seems like all the rooms got out at right at the same time.

Parking: Horrible. It was game day. The civic center and a parking garage were open--for $10, but I didn't have my wallet. They didn't reserve any parking for test takers. So I had to park on street parking a good two/three blocks away and run. Get there with PLENTY of time. Parking was the most stressful part of the test for me; I was the last one in the room because it took so long to find parking

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Checked in was closed at 8:30 (I think that I checked in at 8:29 haha). With instructions and everything I think we started around 9:15. Very quick.

Irregularities or mishaps: 0. They knew what they were doing and were very professional.

Other comments: There was a clock at the front of the room, but it happened to not be visible from where I sat. There was also one at the back. They didn't "reset" the clocks, so be prepared to bring your own watch if you need to check the time remaining. Temperature was fine, no issues there. The lines for the bathroom (specifically girls) was horrendous because they started out by making the ~125 girls use only the three-stall bathroom on the lower level. And all the rooms took break at the same time. The head proctor did decide it was okay for us girls to go upstairs to the 2nd floor bathroom, which alleviated the line a little bit. I'm just glad I was one of the first up there otherwise I wouldn't have been able to eat my snack.

Would you take the test here again? Yup! Great testing environment. Next time I would get there quite a bit earlier however due to parking.

I've been studying since April 2024, and I haven't been able to move my score out of the 150s. I feel like I've tried multiple different techniques for studying and none of them seem to be working for me. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how they broke the pattern of not making solid improvement?
