I am wondering if it is a good idea to mix up the order of practice tests I take. It seems like the ones at the beginning of the list are all from early years. I am thinking I should take tests that are more recent in order to have them be more similar to the modern day ones.

Sharing this on behalf of a fellow 7Sage user. Any help and answers would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks a bunch!

Does anyone else have the same issue? I tried searching for slots between 9/8 and 9/9 and it keeps saying "No availability found"

I took the June LSAT and plan on retaking in November. I just recently got 7Sage, I am wondering if I should just go through all of the videos and then begin taking practice tests or should I be incorporating practice tests as I go through the videos?

Thank you!

First timer, taking LSAT this Friday. I was trying to scheduling LSAT writing, and when I clicked the "Launch LSAT Writing" link from the LSAC website, it redirected me to the Lawhub page. I called both ProctorU and LSAC and neither is helpful. Did anyone run into a similar situation and solve it? Thank you.

When reviewing sections that have more than one video per page (such as here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-33-section-4-game-1/), if you press space it will pause the video on top and then play the video on the bottom at the same time... This is one of the most annoying things I have ever come across and drives me absolutely insane.

Is there a way to press space and have it simply pause/unpause the video YOU ARE WATCHING, rather than BOTH videos (even when you never interacted with the second video)?

Struggling to keep the language PG b/c this is pissing me off so bad.

Hey, y'all! I'm taking the LSAT for the first time this Saturday. Would someone mind explaining the generic structure? I know it's LR, LG, RC and an unscored section, but is there a certain number of passages/games they'll give you for each? Thanks!

I just wanted to share my LSAT story as it comes to a close. I took a diagnostic in December and got a 154, and then studied all spring semester with classes going on, I was in the 160's after finishing the core curriculum, and then was in the low 170's, but felt like I was plateauing, especially with reading comp and was not really sure what else I could do on my own. I decided to get a tutoring package, and was paired with Chris Bearne, and he was great. We worked almost entirely on reading comp, and was really helpful in me bringing that down and giving me the ability to get 0-2 wrong on that section when I was 4-6 wrong before. I took the April LSAT, and felt great coming out of it, thinking I might have even got a 180, but I ended up getting a 171. While that is a great score, it was below my PT average of 175 so I decided to retake it. I took the June LSAT and got a 176!

A couple of things that I learned during my journey.

Do what it takes to keep you motivated. The advice generally given is to take your time in the core curriculum, do drills instead of PT's, and extensively blind review everything. I tried to follow that advice, and got through all of the CC, albet was not as thorough as I could have been, but as I transitioned to drills I could not get myself excited to study that way, and would end up not feeling very productive. I am a competitive person, I like to play basketball, not shoot hoops, I like to play golf, not go to the driving range, I like to play chess, not do chess puzzles. I could go on and on. I would get genuinely excited to take PTs, excited by the chance to compete and get a better score than last time. I ended up taking 49 practice tests, basically just taking a PT every time I wanted to study. After them I would blind review my flagged questions, and then look at all the video explanations for my incorrect answers and flagged questions. This method was my way of enjoying studying for the thousand hours I probably put into the LSAT in total. I probably could have gotten more efficient results doing the prescribed method, but I like the direction that I went in.

Logic Games are solvable. I ended up getting to the point where I was getting -0 with plenty of time to spare on pretty much every logic games section I did, the only time I did not was typically when I misread something. My method was centered on basically solving all of the worlds before going to any of the questions. I would do all of the splits necessary to get all of the worlds, even if it would take me to like 16 worlds sometimes, because I knew that once it was all solved, all the questions would take like 10 seconds, and I would be 100% confident in my answer being correct. I was pretty much always faster than the recommended time for each game. The trick is figuring out the most efficient ways to split, and to stay organized so that you could keep track of everything. This works for most games but not all games, whenever one of the games that it did not work out on I usually had enough time to realize it and do it the normal way because I saved so much time on the other games. This is what worked for me, it might not work for everyone, but if you are struggling with games I encourage you to give it a shot.

Reading comp is all about focusing while you are reading and connecting all of the dots. This was tough for me because I would often zone out and stop thinking about connecting all of the dots. I realized that all I had to do was read things and then internally connect that to the other things that I had read so far, and I was able to understand everything so much better.

Title, I just took 93 and did really well. I'm taking august so I'm looking for encouragement that it will translate lol

New lesson under "Resources for Taking Simulated LSATs"

Link here: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/how-should-i-study-for-the-digital-lsat/

Full text below. If you have questions ask away! I'll try to answer if I can.

The LSAT going digital is the biggest change to the test in decades. It’s natural to feel some amount of anxiety as we leave the comfort of our printers and pencils behind to meet our digital LSAT gods.

There is no need to make drastic changes to how you’ve been studying in order to be prepared for the new digital LSAT format. You’re doing fine. This is because the content and the structure of the LSAT will remain exactly the same. Far more than format, it’s the content of the LSAT that ought to determine how you study for this test. Since that's not changing, you shouldn't change how you study. Blind Review is still king for Logical Reasoning. You still need to Fool Proof your Logic Games. And you still need to do Low Resolution summaries for Reading Comprehension.

The only thing different is that you should practice taking digital PrepTests on your tablet with a stylus to simulate actual test day conditions. If you don’t have a tablet, do it on a computer. LSAC is providing PrepTest 73 (September 2014) for free here: https://familiar.lsac.org/. We have every reason to believe that what we’re seeing on that site will be largely the same as what testers will see on July 15, the first administration where roughly half of the students will be taking the digital version of the LSAT. Starting with the September 21 administration, the LSAT will be fully digital.

7Sage will be releasing our version of the digital tester in open beta test mode by May 1 so you’ll have an opportunity to take PrepTests in digital format. The point is simply to get used to the act of doing the test digitally because there are differences from the paper version. For example, one advantage for everyone is that bubbling and flipping back to flagged questions are instantaneous. This results in time savings of 2-3 minutes or 5%-8% of total section time (35 minutes). There will also be an on screen timer so you can see how much time you have remaining without having to consult a watch.

You’ll also have to get used to doing Logic Games on separate sheets of scratch paper with a pen. Yes, you read that right. A pen. The LSAC has lost its mind. Just kidding. But they are seriously claiming that a pen is their writing instrument of choice provided to you along with an unspecified number of sheets of scratch paper.

The tablet itself (Microsoft Surface Go tablet 8.3” x 5.5” screen) will come with a small built in stand so you can tilt the screen slightly. If you’re used to taking your pencil to the paper to point to each word as you read - what I call "tactile reading" - the stylus can be used in an analogous manner. As far as we can tell, you cannot freely write or draw with the stylus. It can only be used to highlight or underline text, flag questions, and select answer choices.

The writing sample will be administered separately beginning with the June 3 administration. Test takers will be doing the writing section on their own computers and it will be typed. The obvious advantage here is that you can do this on your time where you want, as long as you have an internet connection.

Please keep in mind that this information is simply what we know for the time being based on what the LSAC has revealed. Since the Digital LSAT is new for the LSAC as well, we anticipate that they will be tweaking their digital tester and the process throughout future administrations. Accordingly, we will be updating this page.

I just finished the curriculum and am scheduled to take the September LSAT. I am going to take my first practice test tomorrow since I took my diagnostic... Any suggestions on how I should divide my time? Drilling... tests?

Hi, how often are you guys taking PTs? I am still going through the core curriculum syllabus and have started my studying the end of June this year 2023, and try my best to study throughout the work week. Wondering some thoughts on whether I should be incorporating some PTs weekly even though I am not finished with the core? Any and all thoughts please!

To increase and better my time on questions for studying and for this test, many have recommended reading. Is there anything specific, and types of reading that will specifically aid me in increasing my time to meet the target time?

Hi 7Sagers,

The LSAC informed us that the testing interface for the LSAT will undergo changes for the 2023-2024 cycle, beginning with the August 2023 test. As part of enhanced security measures, the use of keyboard commands like CTRL-F will no longer be possible. However, an alternative function, known as "find text", developed by the LawHub team, will offer similar features in a more secure manner. See the image below.

The "find text" function will be visible at the top center of every page, and it allows test takers to search for terms, with results being highlighted with orange tags or made identifiable for visually impaired users via a screen reader (see the image below). To reset the field, users just need to erase the searched term. It is important to note that this function cannot be dismissed and will be present on all LSAT pages.

For test takers to practice, the "find text" function will be implemented on all LawHub practice tests starting from August 1. Guidance on its use will be available in the "Need help?" section on LawHub. Any queries can be directed to licensingsupport@LSAC.org.

I have an active LSAC Plus subscription. I have been using it for weeks and it expires in 2024. I just purchased 7SAGE and it says I need to buy the LSAC subscription to link my account. It will not let me access any of the material. I have tried logging in and out, my email is the same for both platforms... I don't know what to do. Has this happened to anyone?

Can't seem to find any. Only 2 LR or 2LG PTs...

Hi,

I tried creating a LR drill based on 25 questions and these categories: Agree, Weak, NA, Para, AP, Inf, RRE, Streng, Disagr, Flaw, PSAr using PT B - 75 on Hard Difficulty, yet I get the error message "Sorry, we were not able to create a drill based on your criteria. Please try again."

I'm on Windows 11 and Google Chrome. Could anyone help me out? Thanks.

Hi all,

Lately, as I have begun dumping more time into LG (and I mean a considerable amount of time, roughly 4-6 hours a day), they have begun to cloud my dreams. I've woken up at least once every night for the last week because the LG I make up in my dream gets too confusing. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience and what you/they did to mitigate it.

Thanks!

Hi! Does anyone know what the priority rankings mean when looking at your analytics? Because there are some question types that I have a high % of accuracy but then it gives a number - or + regarding priority. So if i have a higher % of accuracy shouldn't that question type have a lower priority ranking (meaning a positive number)?

Thankyou!

Hi,

Is there a way to make drills based off of questions you got wrong in previous drills? I only saw the option to compile questions you got wrong during previous practice tests, not drills themselves.

Thanks.

performed on the actual test.

Are you allowed to have colored pens/highlighters during the real proctored exam? I study better when I highlight during my logic games outlines, and I wanted to know if the online proctor would get mad if I brought them out? I don't have any accomodations, and I wanted to know if that would work to bring out colored pens/highlighters for my scrap paper

I want to work in medical law (specifically with medical device patents pertaining to mental health), so I am looking at applying to JD/MD programs. I was thinking about Psychiatry for residency (4 years). If I pass the bar during the school year (I believe it’s also held in February for NY bar) before residency starts, would it be possible to start working as a lawyer during my time in residency? Has anybody done this? Thanks in advance!

Quick question. Is it more helpful to take all four PT sections or 'simulate modern' and only take 3? (I am not too sure of the pros and cons.)

I started studying for the LSAT a couple weeks ago. I first used Khan Academy, then started using the Kaplan book, and after a couple recommendations from friends, have made it to 7sage. I am planning to take the LSAT in the October administration giving 10-11 more weeks of studying.

I'm trying to make sense of the difference in allotted study time between Kaplan and 7sage. Kaplan seemed to think it was perfectly reasonable to spend 2-3 months studying and hit your goal with 15-20 hours per week. 7sage prescribes as much as a year! Right now, the study calendar is prescribing me 40+ hours per week. Can someone explain why there's such a big difference between Kaplan and 7sage? Will I be okay taking the LSAT in October? How can I adjust the tools 7sage offers?

#help

It is recommended over and over again that w logic games it is key to print out the games and do them over and over again. I cant print the PDF versions of the games. Help! I know it is not an issue w my printer/computer bc I printed a different doc no problem
