Hello. This is my first post here.

I studied for three years a Dual Degree in Law and Political Science in my home country Spain; left unfinished because I moved to the USA. Then, once in the USA, I applied for a private school, undergrad (Green Card holder - I am, thus, not an "international student"). After one year and a half, my family could not handle the burden of increasing debt, so I transferred to a more affordable school option. I have two semesters (one year, obviously) left.

My question is: when applying to Law School, will LSAC include my grades from Spain in order to calculate the GPA? According to the LSAC: "... LSAC makes no attempt to assess the value of grades earned at different colleges (outside the US/Canada system)".(https://www.lsac.org/applying-law-school/jd-application-process/cas/requesting/transcript-summarization).

I know that LSAC requests all transcripts from undergraduate, so of course they will be getting the transcript from Spain; however. The question is not about the transcript, but rather about the grades, are these grades, earned abroad, counted or not?

The school I am at now does report earned Spanish credits, but does not include the grades to my GPA.

I honestly hope these Spanish grades do not count because I did better in the USA than in Spain...

Thank you.

Did 7sage somehow update or change their "Preptest Sections to show" part of their drilling mode? I'm so confused. For a long time the sections were divided into four drilling modes: "Core curriculum" and then three other sections of prep tests. Now it has four sections different from before: "Recommended for PTs", "Used in Core Curriculum", "Recommended for PTs", and "All Prep Tests (101-158)". I was keeping track of my progress and what I had gotten done the way it was previously set up. I was working my way through all of the core curriculum drills. Now, some of these drills are either all gone or have a bunch new added. This is kind of annoying? It's all differently organized now and I can no longer tell which levels of difficulty from which section (RC or LR) I've completed. Did I press something to make it appear this way or is this a new update that will permanently stay?

Hi guys, September test date approaching and getting extremely anxious. This is first time I'm taking LSAT, I need a 160. I've been PTing and my lowest 2 were 157 & 159, then mostly 160-161. For those that have taken it, have you found that PT genuinely reflect the real score? Or does your real score turn out higher or lower than what you were normally expecting?

I am at the point of my prep where I just jumped into the 160s and I'm starting to see it's more difficult to get large increases with each PT. Should I go back and redo some of my older tests/sections/drills to make sure I truly understand any answer I previously got wrong?

Does anyone relate or have a possible explanation on why my score has been consistently higher on lawhub PT than 7sage? Lawhub I score between 159-161 and on 7sage I get 154-155! What is going on, need advice Im starting to freak out, my exam is in a week help!

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!!

Im not sure I have linked my account to 7sage yet

Hi everyone,

I've been preparing for the LSAT for quite some time. Last year, I went through a significant amount of study material and took several prep tests. After completing the application process, I decided to reapply this year, which led me to continue my LSAT prep.

However, I'm facing a challenge. The new prep tests are compilations of sections from old prep tests, which makes it challenging to find fresh prep tests. Additionally, because I’ve done a lot of drilling both last year and this year, I’m running out of fresh tests, especially from 130 downward.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestions on how to approach this situation or find more fresh prep tests? Is it worth completing prep tests although segments from sections may have been drilled previously?

I'd appreciate any tips or resources that might help me keep my prep going strong.

Thanks in advance!

am i rushing through br? am i not flagging enough?

Hi everyone. I apologize in advance if this question has already been addressed, as it likely has, but I haven't found enough information to fully determine what I should do about the lower LSAT score I received today.

Regrettably, I have taken the LSAT 6 times this past year (this fact itself might require an addendum). Despite going overboard and being generally impatient, my trajectory has been a good one, at least until today: cancellation > 163 > 164 > 169 > 171 > 166. To my eyes, the 166 completely devalues the 171 that I had just a month before. And yet I've resolved to not cancel the score. Instead, I've been considering bringing up the drop in score in an addendum. However, I'm not confident that the explanation, reasonable as it is to me, is good enough to warrant an addendum. I was just feeling a ill the morning of the exam and my brain fogged a lot more than usual. Panic also set in when I realized that I couldn't focus on the exam at all. Alternatively, I could just not bring up the drop in score at all and to not shine any undue spotlight onto it. Mostly, I want the adcoms to know that I feel that the upwards trend truly represents my abilities, not the one blip at the end of it. But I worry that stating it so baldly without good reason might do my application a disservice. Any thoughts?

Thank you for any help you might have.

I feel like there's something wrong. I finished 7sage's LR curriculum, drilled, took practice tests, and I never scored higher than my diagnostic. In fact, I only scored between 157 and 162 on my practice tests preceding the official test. To be fair, I introduced BR very late to my study process. But I feel like it's odd that I didn't at least stumble into a higher score based on rote practice and familiarity.

Does anyone have thoughts about how to proceed for the October exam? Should I hunker down, focusing on PTs and blind review? Should I consider a different program? A private tutor? Stop studying and hope my intuition marinates over that time (JK)?

Hey 7Sagers!

My name is Jake Baska and I'm one of the admissions consultants here at 7Sage. Just FYI that I'll be doing an AMA tomorrow on the Law School Admissions sub-Reddit over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/new/. It'll be from 11AM - 1PM Eastern. Come on by, ask a few questions, maybe give my ridiculous gif-game a kind upvote, etc.

Mainly the title but to add some context: most of the questions I get wrong I simply just misinterpreted the stimulus, whenever I watch a explanation video for a question I just didn't understand it always comes back to "I did not understand what I just read". To help with this I am actively reading on the side every day but if there is anything else I am missing please let me know. Furthermore, my analytics do not really show a pattern of question type that I am absurdly getting wrong. I have made study plans focusing on question types that I am not extremely confident with but I am wondering if I just need to take more tests or review the CC?

I’ve been stuck studying the LSAT for about 9 months now. I wasn’t preforming well the first 6 with the programs had so I switched to 7sage I’ve been PT’ing in the mid- high 140’s and definitely seen some improvement. However my goal is to break 150’s and apply in the fall. What are some tips/tricks yall have used to get you over that time edge? I have already registered for October and I plan on having that be my last exam since I’ll be working/studying for other exams.

Another concern of mine is this exam and being admitted. I’m not shooting for the stars and the schools I have are in the T100 region. I have all my other credentials in line such as a high gpa (Accounting 3.9), great LOR, and a lot of internship experience. The calculator seems to think I have a decent chance lol but was wondering if anyone has insight? Thanks.

Hey guys, I just signed up for the November Virtual Course but can't seem to find a way to locate it on the site. Does anyone know where it is? I just paid for it :(

I have just been watching the videos so far, but I was wondering when I should start doing the practice drills with the videos? Or is it better to watch all the videos before drilling?

Hi!!

I feel like I am not understanding fully how to properly utilize the wrong answer journal. I dont know if this makes sense but I do not see how I will improve with it nor do I feel I know what to put on the "How can I change my process to do better on these in the future?" portion. I was hoping someone could explain to me and possible give me an example of how it has worked for them? Thank you so much!!

My study scheduler does not take into account the lessons i have already learned or the prep tests i have already taken. Is there a way to create a study schedule that does take into account these things?

Is there any way to look at analytics of both obsolete tests and the new format on one graph? I just took my first Preptest under the new format and now I only see the modern preptest version, whereas I've taken like 12 preptests in the obsolete version #help

Based on recent tests and how 7sage grades question difficulty, does anyone know what the average (mean) question difficulty would be around? My guess would be around 3 (medium) but I am curious if anyone knows for sure.

do you think its better to take the same drill with the same questions or to take drills that resemble the test with the questions being mixed in terms of being really prepared for test day and the actual format that we are tested with

Does the AI drill builder feature draw from recent PT's (like the 5 most recent)? I want to make sure I can take them without using questions that I will use within my next few prep tests.
