Dear all,

I scored 168 in the June test, and my goal is to get 172+ in the October test. I am a non-native English speaker and not from the US. I have been studying for this test for two years. I feel I might hit my limit by studying myself and may need help from an expert. There are only three months before the October test, so my time for significant improvement is limited. I am thinking to work with a tutor, but I have no idea which tutor might work best for me since there are so many tutors in 7 Sage. Can you guys kindly recommend one or two tutors to me based on your experience? Thank you very much! I wish you all the best on the LSAT.

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…

Hi Guys,

Do you know if the LSAT is compatible with the macOS Sonoma update? I have been holding off on updating my laptop for a while now and just wanted to see before I do so.

Thanks in advance!

I started studying for the August 2024 LSAT in January; combo of PTs once a week and essentially the core curriculum (from a local prep company). I was testing pretty consistently around the 160 mark until I started drilling for 4-5 hrs/day on 7sage and BRing, after which I jumped to a 165/166 (first got a 166 at the end of May). Since then, I was testing pretty consistently at that mark for five weeks until randomly two weeks ago I got a 160 (PT84) and last week I got a 159 (PT85) (most of the drop was on LR sections). A lot of things I read online suggested taking a break due to burout (which I've definitely felt), so I took this last week off.

As I jump back into studying this week, I'm just really worried I'm doing something wrong w my test coming up soon. A lot of what I read online last week regarding score drops were for people who had just started the CC and/or had only taken a few practice tests. I've taken 18 full length tests over the last 7 months and drilled hundreds if not thousands of questions outside of tests, so I feel like my situation's a little different. Any suggestions on how to get back to that 165/166 mark / things I should be doing differently? Again, I BR, WAJ, drill, etc.

Thanks in advance!!

I'm a bit confused of the way the 7Sage study schedule is laid out. I'm planning to take the test in October and in the custom Study Schedule 7Sage created, there is no time dedicated to drills in any of the weeks and all the practice tests are bunched up in one week (Week 10 in September).

Does anyone have a recommended study schedule to use integrating drills and practice tests throughout the process? I want to make sure I'm actually drilling questions and taking practice tests ahead of my test date to work on areas I need to improve on.

Thanks!

Hello,

I made a final push for June of 2024 (trying to maximize LG's) with the hope of hitting 170. I fell about five points short of that goal and am feeling a bit stuck. On the one hand, I was making substantial improvement with LR/RC. However, I feel that the uphill battle to claw towards the 170 with just RC/LR will be a challenge. I've PT'd in the past in the 170s (with LGs) and have seen RC/LR scores that indicate that I'm capable of getting close to that margin. I was wondering if anyone was feeling the same way and was wondering how to approach the post-June LSAT if you're in a similar predicament. I've put a lot of time and effort towards getting a 170 and hate to fall five (albeit a big five) points short. Was hoping to see if anyone had any advice or input in a similar situation. Thanks.

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 really need help with my personal statement. I applied for law schools for this cycle and obviously didn't make it. I know my LSAT was the main contributor, but I feel like my personal statement wasn't what it needed to be. Does anyone know where I can get help?

PDF?!

Why do I only have access to images. it used to be that the images were displayed nicely in pdf files for paper test takers...

Hey Everybody,

Taking the August LSAT and PT'ing in the 170s.

Was wondering if anyone had considered starting at the end of LR sections, spending the most amount of time/mental energy on the generally more difficult last 10 questions, and working their way to the front. So rather than racing through the hardest section of the test while mentally fatigued, you're the "freshest" and have the most time.

Similarly with RC, why not give the most time and energy to the (usually) toughest two passages at the end, rather than the first two?

I can't see an obvious reason this wouldn't work or that there are any significant drawbacks. Although, I'm definitely not the first person to consider this, nor does this seem like the "meta"/something commonly recommended by 7Sage. So there's gotta be some reason to not do it like this right?

Thanks for reading!

Hi,

I'm starting my lsat studies back up and the study scheduler v2 says to take the June 2007 diagnostic however I plan on taking the new format and I already took that diagnostic when I was originally studying. Should I just start with PT 101 in the new/current format as my diagnostic OR should I skip it and start doing the lessons and save the new format PTs to do once a week. My plan is to start studying the week of July 22nd and study until October, then depending on where i am PT'ing by that point I plan on taking the exam near that time. Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated, thanks!
