I've taken a prep-test and completed blind review. However, I'd still like to hide the correct answer choices to review again. Is this possible?

If Im' supposed to be taking preptests weekly or biweekly, but only studying LR through following the syllabus, how am I supposed to be learned LG and RC? Should I stick to the lesson plan in the syllabus or should I be focusing on improving LG and RC before the next preptest? #help !!!
I can't study. I'm not ready for the Jan lsat and the last few weeks I just cannot study. I thought, 'oh I guess this is what burnout looks like?' But after researching a bit, it doesn't sound like burnout?
I lost my dad to suicide last year and it was a really wild ride leading up to his death... he was on the run from the FBI, then incarcerated. It was a really stressful time for me because I knew he wasn't mentally well and I knew things were going to end badly. I literally begged anyone I could think of--the judge, his pre-trial officer, parole officer, his lawyer, the prosecution, anyone, to get him mental health help. The way things ended was worst case scenario and I'm still processing it all.
And my husband recently lost his job. I don't work so that's obviously super stressful. So much is riding on the lsat for me personally. I left a high-demand religion after being extremely devout my entire life. I'm trying to carve out my own life and identity outside the religion, but it's been such an uphill battle.
Anyway, this isn't meant to be a sob story, but looking for advice. I probably shouldn't apply this cycle? I am scoring in the 150's on PT's but my goal is much higher. I want to reach my score potential. But I also have to balance the reality of needing to get going with law school. I'm older and I need to start my career sooner rather than later.
-Should I even take the Jan lsat?
I've never had depression until after my dad died, and then it was very intense. But I'm in therapy and feeling so much better and have been doing well with studying consistently. I'm puzzled by the study paralysis because I know I don't have to take the Jan lsat--I don't feel like I'm over pressuring myself and feel like I'm good at being gentle with myself and accepting I can't study and doing things I enjoy or want to get done instead.
Any general tips, words of encouragement, or insight would be appreciated.
What does "priority"mean in the results section? For example, when you review your drill answers, there is a column that says priority. What does it refer to?
I have yet to sit down and do full length PTs. I've been studying using the drill feature - so I'll do 2 games, 1/2 LR, 2 passages, etc. - and I'll complete parts of the PT little by little. I completed all sections of PT 70, but still unable to see my score?
Can I only see my score when I sit down and do full length PTs? Or will I only see my scores if I study going Practice > PrepTests > doing 1 section at a time?
I want to keep track of my PT scores without doing full PTs just yet and utilizing the drill feature. Can anyone help? Thanks!
So I started my studying basically within the last week. I just took my first diagnostic LSAT and I am wondering if I should blind review it now, or if I should go back and kind of just retake it after I have studied/practiced more and blind review it then? I haven't looked at any of the answers and my thought process is that I (1) was not 100% certain on a single answer so I would need to review them all, and (2) even with all the time in the world I don't think I have the skill set yet to feel anywhere near 100% comfortable with my answers.
Hi folks,
I just finished the foundational course. For some of the lessons, I took it very seriously and tried to master it but then I went a bit faster and was not matriculate so I think I still need to master it or come back to it. Should I move onto the LR lessons and come back to the foundational course later or when I need to? or should I try to revise and nail it down before moving to LR.
Thanks!
Anytime I try to do a copy and paste function (e.g. putting particular comments into my notes) nothing comes up. I can do it with an external doc, meaning I can paste what I copy from 7sage onto a TextEdit or word processing document, but not with the online notes. Any ideas?
I'm currently in the middle of the course curriculum and have gotten a few (too many) questions wrongs on some of the drills and practice questions in the middle of the lessons. I've reattempted some LG drills consecutively because I wanted to drill in the inferences that I've failed to make before. Although I've noticed improvement in my time and accuracy with each new clean attempt, I'm worried that this is only because I have been working on the same game with only an hour break in between, and I'm getting the question right only because I've seen the question and correct answer before. In other words, I'm worried that my studying method is not the most optimal use of my time and resources because I think I've memorized the specific games and rules by rote memorization rather than learning how to make inferences faster for new games on tests.
While I mostly focused on the instance for LG, I was wondering if I should have a longer cool down period of revisiting the same drills for other practice sections and drills too. I'll try to revisit them again after a week or so, but I'm also worried that I just don't have a lot of time for the upcoming test in October ;-;
Hi, so I'm wondering whether one should practice taking the test on the LSAC's actual website and software before test day? I'm just wondering since it seems rational to think that one should at least be somewhat acclimated to the actual software that we'll be taking the test on. Obviously, this has drawbacks since I believe we get our results right away on the LSAC's testing software when taking PTs, but maybe we can take PTs in the 1-34? A response would be greatly appreciated!
I swear everytime I improve in LR I get worse in RC. This keeps my overall score constantly in the same 3 or 4 point window. And when I do good in RC, my LR gets bad. All the while, my LG always stays the same.... Is this stamina related or are the tests made that if one section is easy, another is made harder?
For reference, by LG is always between -5 and -9 but my LR and RC always switch places with which one is -7 and which one is -17.
I have accommodations that allow me 70 minutes per section, but the PrepTests on here won't allow me to set the time to 70 minutes - anyone know how to fix this?
hello all! has anyone had the chance to study CC V1 and CC V2 and recommend one more than other? I have taken the LSAT before but I’m studying to take it again so since I am familiar with the test, I was leaning towards V2 to refresh my mind but also want the most detailed. Any suggestions?
Hello! I just signed up for 7Sage and I look forward to diving in! I’m curious about the new Core Curriculum V2 Beta. Is it safe for me to start here if I have no former LSAT experience? Should I wait to take the Practice Tests until after I’m through the CC? I notice V2 takes significantly less time than V1. Should I worry about this?
Thank you in advance!
Hi! This may have already been answered, but I could not find it.....
Do you have to purchase lawhub? It is asking me to renew my subscription but I am not sure if its necessary? I know it allows me to practice what my test day will be like but seems like a waste since I have access to PTs through 7sage.
Thanks!
During my senior year in undergrad, I was reported for academic dishonesty (plagiarism). I previously had a class with the professor that reported me and I got an A in his class, which is why I was surprised that he thought I plagiarized. The professor said it was a minor case of plagiarism because I did not paraphrase adequately in certain parts of my final essay. I met with the dean and I ultimately admitted to plagiarism and I got a deferred suspension (which is just fancy language for a warning). The dean said that I had to attend an avoiding plagiarism workshop before graduation so that's what I did. I asked the dean if something like this would appear on my transcript and she said that UCLA (the uni I attended) does not make a notation on the transcript but it holds a separate records that are confidential. She said the records would not be released to law schools without their request and my authorization. I ultimately got an A- in that class.
So what should I do? Does attending a workshop like this count as disciplinary action? Is a warning all that bad? And will law schools see that something like this happened through the LSAC CAS report?
Hi guys! I've recently had an issue and just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem/knows how to work towards solving it.
I'll do fine on practice sections, I typically get around 5 wrong, give or take a few. Im doing these under the normal timed conditions as well.
But when it comes to the actual PT itself (which I try my absolute best to adhere to actual test conditions in) I'm always scoring in the lower end of the 150's.
I don't know if this is test anxiety, mental fatigue, or what. I'm just posting this to see if anyone else has had this issue so I don't feel completely crazy, and also seeing if anyone who's had this issue has found a way to fix it.
Thanks! :)
I want to start taking PT but don't know where to start. I noticed that drill questions are taken from PT1-35... do people normally even use these as PT or start from PT36?
Thanks!
Hello! I took the June 2023 LSAT and got a score I'm really happy with, but I am looking to retake in August so I can score a few points higher, which will hopefully put me above the median LSAT for a few of my top schools. I've been taking PTs (both timed and untimed) and reviewing them, however I can't seem to get a score above the mid-160s. Any advice on how to break out of this plateau? I'm not really sure what my next move should be.
Hi guys! I made a study guide for LR with all my notes as I did the core curriculum on 7sage! I was wondering if there was a way to upload the document so others could use it? Is there a PDF upload feature I can't find? Thanks!

Hi is anyone else struggling to schedule through Prometric? I have been stuck trying to get a time for the last half hour but it keeps on saying there are no available times. #help
Hi everyone,
While you’ve been blind-reviewing, Foolproofing and thinking more about the word “unless” than anyone would have believed possible, J.Y. and I have been on a internetgalactic quest for the best teacher in the GRE universe. We found Andrew Colford, who got a near-perfect GRE score (169Q/170V), who (doesn’t want me to tell you) that he’s appeared in movies and TV, and who JY’d J.Y. in a math lesson.
If you’re thinking about applying to law school (or any school) with the GRE, check out our upcoming class. We’re limiting it to ten students on a first-come, first-serve basis. We welcome learners at all levels: Andrew will give individualized homework assignments for students who need extra help or an extra challenge.
What: Comprehensive GRE Class
When:
Price: $599. The Official Guide to the GRE and ETS's official math practice book are included.
Where: This is a live, remote class. We’ll meet on Zoom. Recordings will be available to students of the class.
What to expect:

Hello! I just finished going over the informational videos for LR and wanted to crack down on some drills. I am concerned about using up questions from the new LSAT exams so what is the best way to create drill sessions with older PTs? I have having mixed info about whether the older ones are covered in PT 1-35 or PT 1-45. Also what are the PT with letter a (ie. A, B, C) instead of numbers?
Thank you!

Hello 7sagers,
I was wondering if there was a digital tester feature where they let me take 1-2 sections at a time and be able to blind review them and stuff. Due to my schedule, I plan to take 1-2 sections a day and BR & score them right away instead of taking full PTs, but I can't seem to find such feature.
Is it even possible to take a section or two at a time, and if so, could you please tell me how I can do so?
Many thanks in advance!

I have been looking, and think I know the answer but want to confirm! Is there any way to know which section is the experimental/ungraded section on the exam? Is it always last? Or, could it be any one of the four in any order? Thanks.
