Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I find myself having to make myself sit down and study. Almost like an internal battle where I try to do anything BUT study, and I have to literally force myself to study. I wondered what would be the cause of this. I realized it was because of fear. I was procrastinating due to the fear of not understanding the LSAT material or the fear of not being able to improve from my 148 score. I also realized I had a fear of success. If I do master the LSAT and become an attorney, do I have it in me to juggle the demands of being an attorney? I realized I was self-sabotaging myself by not studying. And when I wouldn't study, I would feel miserable and anxious, knowing I was letting myself and my future down. I realized I have to discipline myself to sit down and study, and I am sure my future self will thank me. You will never regret an investment in yourself and in your knowledge! Please let me know if anyone else struggled through this.

The current online LSAT obviously has four sections and one is unscored.

If I don't "simulate modern" on 7Sage PrepTests does it score my test like the modern LSAT (with one section unscored) or does it score the 4th section?

Feb was my 3rd attempt at the LSAT. Last June after studying about 6 months with the PowerScore bibles and online course and my score was an awful 143. I had a ton of tech issues with the proxy and this was before they had the link established to let them know about the proxy issues. I added Kahn academy to my programs and took it again in October, again a 143 but also consistent issues with the Proxy. My PT scores have always been around 150-157 until last week, I broke 160.

I started with 7Sage in Jan and took the test in Feb, the scores were released today and I am at a 145. This time I had a great proxy experience and felt better about the test but found myself struggling with time. I will take the LSAT again in June which is the last time I can take it before I get into Law School this year with the school nearby I want to attend. I can tell that 7Sage is strengthening my foundation and feel confident that I will do better in June but would 7like to know if other people are struggling like this? What did you find to help you get over your slump if you did?

I am not one that like to take PT's, I try to attend as many of the live classes as I can and I follow the curriculum, I try to practice test when I know I will have time to do it but I prefer to practice sections at a time. I'm not sure if that's something that I should start doing more often or not?

It drives me absolutely crazy that we can't see what we missed on the LSAT because I would like to know what I need to work on, taking the LSAT and taking a PT are not similar experiences for me, it's making me wonder if I am struggling worse than I am aware with test anxiety or something similar. My pt.'s are always higher scores and my GPA and performance in school doesn't match my test scores at all. I realize that LSAT and GPA are not similar but I feel like if I am capable at school I should be capable on the LSAT as well.

Just a heads up: I know I shouldn't have taken these tests so close together or before I was ready, that was not something I understood until coming to 7Sage. I am also a married stay at home mom and my husband is uber supportive but we just can't afford to add tutoring to the mix so I appreciate all the tutors that email me wanting to help or commenting on my comments but it's not an option at this time, as much as I know it would help and I wish we could afford it.

The study schedule includes practice tests 36-45. Should I skip those Practice tests since they are in the drilling pool? Or do I follow the study schedule and take PT 36-45 even though they won't be fresh?

or

What is the best way to study with the core curriculum? Should I be studying RC, LR, and LG every week or should I be focusing on getting better at each section slowly.

If I've fallen behind in my schedule generated by 7Sage, does it give me the option to reconfigure my weekly plan without shifting my intended test date?

I am practicing for an online version of the LSAT and one difficulty I am having is knowing which questions to skip, specifically when unable to easily see the next few questions. For example, on RC or LG it might make sense to skip a game / passage and come back to it later but such a gametime decision is difficult when it takes time to go ahead and look at future questions. Comparatively, in Live Commentary videos, it looks so easy since each side of paper has 4-5 questions.

Any advice?

I hope so, because my printer cannot print pdf files with passwords.

Essentially, my best scores across all three sections are -0/1. However whenever I see improvement in my LR or RC score the other seems to suffer. As such my score has been hovering around the high 160s and low 170s but my individual section scores fluctuate a good bit.

My question is this, what are some ways that I can synthesize improvements across all three sections in one test?

I mean the most difficult problems?

what is the distribution shape? If there are 25 problems in each LR section, how many problems are 1 star, 2 star, 3, star, 4 star, and 5 star respectively?

thanks

There are 93 pretests.

I hope the Drill questions do not exhaust more recent pretests, and mainly focus on early ones, say 1-49?

Will appreciate your response.

I am trying to sign up for 7Sage but not sure if I should get live classes or not, does it work with your own pace? I’m on a bit time crunch I wonder if I should just do the regular without live classes? Very conflicted! Any help would be appreciated :) thank you!

Hello, I’m aiming for the April LSAT i’ve mostly been drilling individual sections in Feb to get over my anxiety and slump from January. Now I feel like I’m mentally ready to take the PTs and plan to start from the 60s onwards. Do you guys recommend using the ‘modern’ format where its just 3 sections or stick to the 4 sections that has 2 LRs?

I’m a bit torn since I know only 3 sections are actually graded but i feel like stamina-wise my brain should be able to do 4 sections due to the experimental.

presumably the point is to reinforce the concepts learned previously. for example i just finished the whole section about the weakening questions, and that section ends with 7 or 8 "questions problem sets" ...........but here is what i dont understand : we were told at the start of the curriculum that the newer preptests would all be SAVED to be used later as FRESH practice tests. but these questions problem sets throughout the curriculum contain questions from some of the newer preptests!

so are we supposed to save new preptests to be used FRESH in their entirety for practice tests? or are we supposed to dutifully complete all of the "question problem sets" throughout the curriculum, regardless of how many of the questions WITHIN these problem sets are from newer preptests (the SAME prep tests we were told originally we would be saving to take fresh)?

i am confused. and i had a 7sage staff member/ autotmatic response person offer an explanation which i didnt find satisfactory

After finishing my first pass through RC, I've noticed I have a tonne of trouble when it comes to passages based on the fine arts / art history. I was wondering if anyone had any reccomendations for resources that go really in-depth into the theory/history surrounding various art styles / techniques / history?

This is mainly just something to pre-occupy my spare time and maybe learn a thing or two over the next few months.

My name is Ken. I get around 169-170 on timed mock test. I am looking for students that I can tutor for free for me to learn better. I have an office at Songdo, Incheon, South Korea. My current occupation is a substitute teacher at Chadwick International School while working on a US teaching license. I can take clients who can come to Songdo, Incheon. I can also do it via Zoom. Please send me a message.

I just finished my exam on 10th Feb and about to do the writing section. I was wondering if there is any lesson or materials I can take a look to prepare for the writing section. Thanks a lot:)

I'm doing 1 RC section daily M/W + 1 LG section daily T/Th + 1 LR F + half LR section M-Th.

I'm currently studying this way utilizing the drill tool, so it'll pull sections from different PTs. To get a better idea of how I'm scoring, should I instead work on a specific PT a week?

I’ve always read these success stories and wished for the opportunity to one day be able to write my own. Well, over half a year of studying and preparing, my LSAT journey is officially over!

I began with a 149 diagnostic score in June 2022 and finished with a 168 on the January 2023 LSAT, three points higher than my goal score! This would not have been possible without 7Sage and my tutor @"valentina.soares-1"

I was hesitant to spend the money on a tutor, but with a busy work schedule and limited study time, I knew that I needed additional support. Valentina made all the difference when it came to studying. The personalized study plan helped me maximize my study time by providing drills and resources tailored to address my specific weaknesses. I looked forward to our weekly tutoring sessions. She took the time to get to know me which made me feel welcome and comfortable. She also made sure to fully understand my struggles. The material we covered directly correlated with problem areas from my 7Sage analytics. She was extremely patient in her approach, even when it would take me several times to truly understand an LR stimulus. I appreciated that she would ensure I understood the concepts/reasoning before moving on to the next topic. After implementing the strategies provided for each section, my PT score average jumped several points and kept climbing. Outside of our weekly sessions, she was always available to help. From answering my email questions to even providing a Quizlet with LR flashcards. It was evident that Valentina cared about my success from the beginning and she went above and beyond to help. I could go on and on, but I cannot recommend her enough!

Thank you, Valentina! I am very grateful for your support, your guidance and for always believing in me.

Still looking to help people with their LR/RC fundamentals. If you are a 130/140 scorer message me so I help you out!

I do not want to do a full LR section when studying. I am already alternating between doing a full section of RC/LG M-Thurs, Friday doing a full LR section, and want to only do half a LR section after doing a full RC or LG section. My study schedule is m/wed full RC section with half LR, tues/thurs full LG with half LR, Friday full LR.

Can anyone show me how to select only 12-13 problems of LR, or if this is even possible? Thanks in advance!

I was wondering for the recent LSAT is the experimental sections last or they can be any of the four sections? #help

Hi all!!

I am gearing up to take the LSAT in September, but am wondering if anyone has had (or will have) accommodations on the LSAT? I am diagnosed dyslexic and I feel like I'm out of gas and out of drive with how much I sometimes struggle with comprehension, especially under stress (though this will NOT stop me, I am DETERMINED to keep going, even if it takes a little more time than others to get the score I want!! While my dyslexia can be challenging, it will not be the reason I don't pursue my dreams).

I was looking at the listed accommodations and feel extreme relief seeing that you can ask for reading out loud (this is very crucial for me) / extended time__ with proper documentation. So, I'm just wondering if anyone else has gone through the process? Or hey, even has study tips if you're willing/comfortable to share!

Thanks so much
