I got 155 on my cold PT and scored 173 on the August 2023 LSAT. My goal was to score anywhere above 170 so I am very satisfied. I'm glad I went through my entire LSAT journey with 7Sage. The core curriculum, blind review, PT analytics, and tutoring all worked out for me.

I especially want to thank and recommend my tutor @"bailey.luber". I was stuck in the mid-160s for quite a while and her advice for drilling and mindset really helped me have breakthroughs. I only had 5 hours of tutoring but she was very approachable, always there to check in on me, and always gave me detailed, thoughtful, and effective advice that applied perfectly to my situation. There were times when I wanted to quit due to score plateau and studying alone as an international student, but my tutor has been a huge source of support and encouragement.

Thank you 7Sage!

158 ---> 172

Just some motivation for those who are starting out - my initial diagnostic was 158, and I just scored 172 in my most recent PT. Here are my scores and dates:

24 Jul 158

26 Jul 161

01 Aug 166

03 Aug 168

08 Aug 169

09 Aug 170

28 Aug 173

05 Sep 169

06 Sep 172

I used

Khan Academy (in July at first)

PowerScore (August)

7Sage (September)

I switched to 7Sage from PowerScore because I found the explanations for the questions I got wrong either missing or incomplete, so I kind of had to just figure it out myself which I think has hindered my progress. Here's proof that you can do it!!!!!

Hey Everyone!

LSAC has provided updates on the following:

◉Limits on Repeating the LSAT

LSAC has introduced a new test-taking limit policy starting in August 2023. This change, however, will only impact a small group—less than 1% of all LSAT takers. Under this new policy, you can take the LSAT five times in the current score reporting period (i.e., since June 2018) and up to seven times over a lifetime.

For more details, you can visit the LSAC page here: Limits on Repeating the Test

◉LSAT Test Taking Schedule

As you may know, there were difficulties with remote proctoring during the first weekend of the August LSAT. To make up for it, LSAC added an extra testing day for the September LSAT. They've also introduced two additional testing dates each for both October and November this year. These additions won't impact the score release.

For more details, you can visit the LSAC page here: Upcoming LSAT Dates

◉Prelaw Success Live Events

Hey guys I’m sorta new to 7Sage and I’m working through the Foundations lessons right now. I wanna make the most of my study time and Live Classes package, but there are so many classes available (and even more in the live classes library) I don’t even know how to chose or what to start with? It seems like my personalized study schedule, so far, doesn’t interact with the live classes and that you have to take it upon yourself to work them into your studying. What classes or series of classes or teachers would you recommend starting with, and how did you work them into your syllabus?

Practice Test Question

Hello out there!

I just started working through the program and have a question on taking practice tests.

It seems the prevailing wisdom is to go through a majority of the 7Sage training before taking any practice tests.

Is there any value in taking one at the beginning of training to establish a baseline?

Thanks in advance!!

pre-1st LSAT terror

This LSAT stuff just got super real for me, thinking about Sunday is giving me nothing but mental paralysis and heart palpitations, suddenly feeling like I've been kidding myself thinking I can do this. Any bravery/tips would be most appreciated.

Whenever I click alternate explanation, or I try to play a video explanation from the drill set interface, the video doesn't have any images. I can hear JY's voice, and I see a blue cursor moving around, but no text or diagramming or anything. Is this a browser issue? It doesn't work on either computers I've tried, nor my phone's browser.

we have over 149 members on this discord server, so there is probably a good chance that you'll find a group you'll fit into. We've already hit the ground running, would love to see all of you there. We have a study session scheduled for 2pm-4pm ET, and you can choose between LR room, LG room, and RC room. Hopefully one (or more) of our 149 members will join you in the struggle.

Here is the link: https://discord.gg/YWc9pVNC.

May the force be with you.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know about the updates LSAC has made to the LSAT test dates for October and November.

Along with the already announced test dates for October (October 13 and 14), LSAC has now added test sessions on October 15 and 16. LSAC also added more test dates to the November schedule. In addition to the previously set dates (November 10 and 11), there will now be test sessions on November 8 and 9.

The new test dates include both remote and in-person sessions, and this won't affect the score release date!

September 2nd Proctored PT

Whether you're taking the official September LSAT or not, this free event is for you. We are offering Proctored Prep Tests every month this fall, with our first one this Saturday, September 2nd from 1-5 pm ET!

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. Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

Register using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwocu2trzsjGdRNM5GT3ELED-H67u3gGlHH. Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting! Save that for Saturday.

Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This can be any PT; we recommend one that you haven't seen yet and that is at least as recent as PT 50. 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 Proctor 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 privately message your preference. If only the ProctorU 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'll be able to use those.

If you have any questions, please comment below. We hope to see you there!

Senior year of high school I took classes through a local community college for high school and college credit. Should I include this on my resume? The transcript is included in my academic summary report and it was only 18 credit hours. Also, not sure if this has an impact but after this I transferred to another community college to get my AA before transferring for my BA and I've included both of these institutions. Is a third too much? Thanks!

Taking the September test next week [remotely] and I have been doing all my studying using my monitor and magic trackpad, I know the monitor will have to go on test day, but I scoured LSAC and Prometric's websites to see if a bluetooth mouse is allowed or not, the interest seems to indicate its fine but most answers are a few years old, so I'm unclear if policies have changed with the times or the new proctoring server.

Any guidance would be super helpful!

PT 88

Which Lr on pt 88 is the experimental section? Also I average between a -3 and -6 in LG and just got -10 on this pt. I am planning for the sept test and can't really pull out of it. Should this be of concern or are the last 2 games pretty rare?

Bad idea to retake 174?

Hi! The August LSAT was my first time taking it officially, and I got a 174. It's honestly better than I expected. I was pretty confident immediately after testing, but my PT average up to the test date was around 171-172. I was doing PTs every day though so maybe I was burnt out a bit?

I had signed up for the Sept LSAT in case I needed to retake, so by this point if I don't retake, it's not refundable. I've done two PTs since the Aug test, scored 177 and 179. Have also done some drills just to keep myself in the mindset.

Originally, my target is UCLA but I'm definitely open to other T-14. Since I've already paid for the Sept test, I'm wondering if I should just take it or if it'd look bad if I retook after getting 174 on my first time. I'm above all 75th percentile GPAs if that helps.

Thanks for any advice!

After using 7Sage for the past couple months, I was able to dramatically increase my official score (18 points!) to a 179 on the August test. I'm really appreciative of all the great resources provided (including the amazing podcast from Henry and Aastha). Now all that's left to do is apply!

Basically what the title says. Due to the nature of the environment I study in and I would prefer to read a written explanation for wrong answers. Is this an option on 7S? I know it is on other platforms but for some reason I cannot find a written explanation for answers on here.

TIA!

Hi all,

Any advice or strategies people have undertaken when hitting score plateau, specifically for RC or LR? I consistently hit mid 160s when doing PTs but have been stuck there for weeks now. I already have LG pretty much down (average only 1 wrong) but can't seem to improve on the other two sections. I'm signed up for the October exam and would like to improve by around 5+ points. Really appreciate any help!

Why is it that the questions in problem sets pull from PrepTests beyond PrepTest35? I thought they only pulled from 1-35 to keep newer tests fresh!

How can I make it so that the problem sets only pull from Test 1-35? There was a previous post where someone from Student Service said that problem sets only pull from 1-35, but this is clearly wrong!!!!!
