Should I be taking the test, doing BR same day, and then go from there to see what I need to improve on? Or is it better to do BR after a few days? Trying to study for the June test and don't really know the best approach. Any advice is appreciated!

I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how often one should be doing drills and PTs when early on in their studies. I've been studying for about a month and about to take my second PT and have done one drill. I see some people doing drills every single day. I also hear from people that PTs are valuable later on in your studies rather than too early.

What does drill/PT frequency look like for you, earlier on vs closer to test date? I plan to study for about 6-8 months. Thanks for any input.

Hi all,

I unfortunately had to cancel my 7Sage subscription, so I've been using LawHub to take PTs. I'd like to enter my OG choices here on 7Sage, then get my BR score on LawHub. I've run into a problem though, because my sections on LawHub are not the same as the answer sheet here on 7Sage. Thus, I can't tell the difference between the two LR sections, as each have the exact same # of questions. Is there a way to tell the difference between the two or will it just have to be a trial and error thing?

Thanks!

So I took a diagnostic test, and I got a 153. My hope is to get a 170 plus in 3 to 4 months depending on if I take the June or August LSAT. I am a junior in college taking 4 (4 credit) classes which aren't too bad, but I am working 32 hours, 16 at one job, 16 at another. I don't really have a day of just not doing anything, so I am trying to study for the LSAT in the afternoons and evenings. I REALLY WANT A 170+ . Anyone in the same boat? Am I doomed or can I do it ? Anyone want to be study partners ? Be honest please ! I am willing to put the work in if I have to.

Hi,

I am wondering if someone can help me understand LSAT cycles. I would like to give myself the opportunity to take the test 5 times if necessary and will be sitting for the upcoming April test. I am wondering when this cycle began and ends as I am aware you can only sit for the test 3 times over one cycle. Thanks!

Hi! I am looking for advice on whether I should cancel or keep my February LSAT score. This was the second time I took the LSAT and I received a 169 which was unfortunately lower than my first score (November) of 170. Despite additional studying, I just found this test a lot harder (thanks to the LG). I have score preview and need to decide whether to cancel the 169 or keep it. On one hand my instinct is to cancel since it's lower than my first score, but I have also read that it can be a mistake to cancel anything in/above the 160s (since it may be assumed you did particularly bad)? I may be taking the LSAT a third time (targeting 172), depending on my summer plans. I would appreciate any/all insights. Thank you!

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a way to filter the study schedule to actually fit the hours in and have it generate for those hours.

Say I can put only 14 hrs a week. Can I filter it by 14 hours and actually have the study schedule generate to accommodate only 14 hours a week. As it stands, I can put 14 hours, but there will be weeks with 18 hours and 20 hours.

Also, I want to remove all the tests, it's a bit overwhelming when looking at the study schedule and it shows 500+ hours.

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you for your help!]

I have started with the foundation lesson and I am now doing the introduction to arguments. When studying for the LSAT using 7 sage the way I am tackling it, is by watching, taking notes from the videos and lessons, and reviewing them. Is that the right way to go about it?

I'm still in the LR section of the core curriculum. For the different question types, a lot of the lessons comprise of example questions that JY goes over. While watching those, should I just be watching his thought process or trying to answer it myself before playing the video?

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.

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?

  • Follow the study schedule and take PT 36-45

    • or

  • Only take fresh PT and ignore the study schedule

    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.

    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?
