The LSAC has not released an official August test date, but they usually hold one each test cycle. Do you guys think there will be one? Cuz I don't necessarily think I will be prepped enough by the June Test date.

I'm finding myself confused with how LSAC scales your raw score on prep tests. I'm in a prep course and have taken several official prep tests and have had instances where my raw score has differed significantly, yet my scaled score doesn't show such improvement. I will list my scores and coinciding practice tests below...

PT 84: raw score 44. scaled 144.

PT 65: raw score 50. scaled 146.

PT 85: raw score 54. scaled 148.

PT 81: raw score 60. scaled 152.

PT 86: raw score 60. scaled 153.

PT 87: raw score 69. scaled 157.

PT 88: raw score 65. scaled 155.

PT 89: raw score 70. scaled 157.

My concern is that when looking at general estimated LSAT raw score conversion charts, a 69 can be scaled up to a 173 or 75 can be up to 180 scaled. That's a pretty big difference in the scaled scores I'm seeing! How is this determined and are the 4 section prep tests that I've been using to practice scaled differently than the Flex format and that is why I'm seeing such a difference on these charts?

Never really posted before so here goes nothing. I interviewed for a spot in a big firm's paralegal program the other day. Took 20 minutes, went so-so, but less than 4 hours later I got a rejection email. I'm not too broken up about the rejection but it seems ridiculously fast considering I only got off the phone with them and definitely wounded my pride a bit. Should I read into the speedy rejection too much, or am I just doing my typical type-a overthinking?

Hi guys, I have a serious issue with test anxieties. How come does a person when he does a drill section by section and gets an average -6 on RC, untimed - but always do it on time - get a -15 on a recent preptest. I diagnosed this as lack of confidence and looming test anxieties. Any tips on reducing test anxieties? I appreciate your comments, thanks.

Hi,

Over the past 3 days, I've been experiencing a constant "close tester" message in intervals of 3-5 minutes consistently when trying to take prep tests. I thought that this may be an issue with my internet connection at first, but it has been stable. All other websites have no other issues loading whenever I lose my connection to 7Sage. Is there a fix I can do to stop this on my end or is this something wrong server side?

Additional information: I am accessing this site through Firefox and I am also having issues publishing this discussion.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

My name is Shemariel I am a first generation student and hopefully soon be be law student! I am located on the east coast. I have been studying for over a year and going through the this LSAT journey on my own with no mentorship. Literally I don't even think my family understand how big of a task the LSAT is let alone law school. However I have learned alot on my own and believe in my abilities. Thus I wanted to create a support group First-Gen students. Ideally I envision this group being 100% judgement free, a safe space where we can uplift each other and talk about out LSAT challenges and goals, we can meet weekly or once every two weeks. I am open to anything that will empower those who wish to join.

I would like to gage the interest before officially formatting the group, but drop your email or private message me if you are interested (3(/p)

Hello everyone,

I planned to LR drill by grouping 5-6 question types. So I used 'particular tags' and assumed 7sage was only going to pull questions from PT1-45.

I just started doing this today, and to my horror, I realized that they were giving me questions from PT60-74 as well.

I know there is advanced builder function, but you can only select one question type, which isn't helpful to me at all.

So my question is is there a way to ensure that questions are limited to PT1-45 and if not, why isn't this option added asap?

Hi everyone,

I posted earlier (around December) offering free tutoring and worked with a lot of people to help them improve. Honestly, I have some extra free time and I want to help others on the same journey as me, for free of course!

For context, I took the Nov LSAT and got a 172. I actually retook in January to see how much I could improve and got a 175. I was also PTing 175+ before taking the test. I realize it is not perfect, but I would be open to helping out if anyone wants it.

Just like my previous post, I am open to working with any of the three sections and we can focus on:

  • The entire section as a whole
  • Specific question types or games
  • Overall tips about a section or the test as a whole
  • Anything else about the test you need help with 😊
  • I want to give priority to those who are taking the April LSAT since that is right around the corner, but willing to help out anyone else as well.

    --

    Please PM me and we can discuss/schedule a time if there is anyone that is interested in the help. Otherwise, wishing everyone the best on their LSAT journey!

    Hi 7Sagers!

    On Thursday, March 30, at 9:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a free webinar about how to set objectives and structure studies once you've completed the Core Curriculum. The Core Curriculum offers a very tidy and effective structure that is easy to follow. Once that's done, though, many of us have found ourselves uncertain on how most effectively to move forward. In this webinar, we want to provide some guidance to this stage of studying.

    → Please register for the webinar here:

    https://7sage.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Yf9rsN7ERI6iy5RGANFgeg

    After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

    :warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

    :warning: The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

    If you want to ask a question, you should connect via a computer instead of calling in. We also recommend that you join the webinar a few minutes early and test your microphone.

    Curious--

    When going thru the questions on LOGIC GAMES after the set up, do you always go back to the OG board or when you make new moves, then do you look at the new board?

    I'm always finding myself making silly mistakes because I've either misread or not completely read all of the question or the stimulus. Both for LR and LG but more so for LG. Does anyone have advice on tips to remind yourself to slow down and double check you've read everything correctly?

    I've been full time studying for the LSAT for about 6/7 months now, and every day I aim to study 6-8 hours a day. I plan on taking the June LSAT as my first exam, and if I need to retake it, I plan on taking it in August as well. I'm the overthinking go-getter type. I'm sure many of you relate, but recently I've lost all my motivation. I no longer have the attention span to sit at my desk for 6-8 hours a day, and it just feels like I can no longer take my studies as seriously as I was before. I'm cutting corners every which way, and I feel completely hopeless and lost, especially with June being around the corner. I'm starting to think maybe I'm just not cut for this, but I don't know. I know you guys will probably give me the advice of taking some time off, but on top of being an overthinker and go-getter, I'm also someone who suffers a lot from anxiety and stress, so whenever I take breaks, I spend the whole time stressing out about the fact that I'm setting myself back by taking a break which ends up making a break completely useless. I'm a first-generation student, which means absolutely nobody in my life understands what I'm going through, so I feel very alone and defeated, and I just wanted to come on here and ask my fellow LSAT takers for some advice and guidance.

    Thank you all in advance!

    Right now, I've been studying full time since January, but I also studied all summer last year, and on-and-off during the fall semester. I've been dedicating 5-6 hours every day with one day off per week, but even so, I'm not seeing much change in my results. I know progress isn't always linear and everyone's experiences are different, but right now I'm starting to get discouraged because I feel like nothing I do is working, and the April administration will be my third exam. I'm aiming for at least a 170, but my last real test was a 164 and all my recent PTs have been in the low/mid-160s range. I know it's significantly harder to break into the 170s from the 160s than it is to get into the 160s from the 150s and so on, but it's so agonizing to be so close yet so far! How long did it take for you to get the results you wanted, and how did you get there without getting burned out?

    Lately I've been in a slump where my score has been stuck in the same range as my previous test (164), but I've been trying and failing to break into the 170s. I've been stuck in this range since I first started studying last summer - I was studying pretty on and off during the fall since I was still in college, and began studying full time in January to prepare for the April administration. However, since my score isn't changing at all even though I've been spending at least 5 hours every day studying, I've started to become discouraged and I'm feeling rushed because I gave myself a head start by graduating early so I could get the LSAT out of the way before I started looking for a job, but since I'm not seeing much progress, I'm beginning to feel unsure about continuing to take time off to study.

    If I should keep going, any advice for getting out of this slump? Any suggestions (besides tutoring, which is out of the question for financial reasons) would be greatly appreciated!

    I have seen conflicting information from unreliable sources and am wondering if anyone knows for sure if we are allowed to have drinks on our desk during the exam? I have been trying to practice without my water bottle, just in case. Thanks in advance!

    Hey 7Sagers!

    A few months ago we announced that we'll be replacing the pre-made problem sets in the Core Curriculum. However, after carefully considering feedback from several 7Sagers, we've decided to keep the pre-made problem sets available for the time being. Rest assured, if we do decide to remove them in the future, we'll be sure to give you plenty of advance notice!

    Note that you still have the option to create custom drills using our new drilling feature.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

    Happy studying!
