Essentially, my best scores across all three sections are -0/1. However whenever I see improvement in my LR or RC score the other seems to suffer. As such my score has been hovering around the high 160s and low 170s but my individual section scores fluctuate a good bit.
My question is this, what are some ways that I can synthesize improvements across all three sections in one test?
I mean the most difficult problems?
what is the distribution shape? If there are 25 problems in each LR section, how many problems are 1 star, 2 star, 3, star, 4 star, and 5 star respectively?
thanks
There are 93 pretests.
I hope the Drill questions do not exhaust more recent pretests, and mainly focus on early ones, say 1-49?
Will appreciate your response.
I am trying to sign up for 7Sage but not sure if I should get live classes or not, does it work with your own pace? I’m on a bit time crunch I wonder if I should just do the regular without live classes? Very conflicted! Any help would be appreciated :) thank you!
Hello, I’m aiming for the April LSAT i’ve mostly been drilling individual sections in Feb to get over my anxiety and slump from January. Now I feel like I’m mentally ready to take the PTs and plan to start from the 60s onwards. Do you guys recommend using the ‘modern’ format where its just 3 sections or stick to the 4 sections that has 2 LRs?
I’m a bit torn since I know only 3 sections are actually graded but i feel like stamina-wise my brain should be able to do 4 sections due to the experimental.
presumably the point is to reinforce the concepts learned previously. for example i just finished the whole section about the weakening questions, and that section ends with 7 or 8 "questions problem sets" ...........but here is what i dont understand : we were told at the start of the curriculum that the newer preptests would all be SAVED to be used later as FRESH practice tests. but these questions problem sets throughout the curriculum contain questions from some of the newer preptests!
so are we supposed to save new preptests to be used FRESH in their entirety for practice tests? or are we supposed to dutifully complete all of the "question problem sets" throughout the curriculum, regardless of how many of the questions WITHIN these problem sets are from newer preptests (the SAME prep tests we were told originally we would be saving to take fresh)?
i am confused. and i had a 7sage staff member/ autotmatic response person offer an explanation which i didnt find satisfactory
After finishing my first pass through RC, I've noticed I have a tonne of trouble when it comes to passages based on the fine arts / art history. I was wondering if anyone had any reccomendations for resources that go really in-depth into the theory/history surrounding various art styles / techniques / history?
This is mainly just something to pre-occupy my spare time and maybe learn a thing or two over the next few months.
My name is Ken. I get around 169-170 on timed mock test. I am looking for students that I can tutor for free for me to learn better. I have an office at Songdo, Incheon, South Korea. My current occupation is a substitute teacher at Chadwick International School while working on a US teaching license. I can take clients who can come to Songdo, Incheon. I can also do it via Zoom. Please send me a message.
I just finished my exam on 10th Feb and about to do the writing section. I was wondering if there is any lesson or materials I can take a look to prepare for the writing section. Thanks a lot:)
I'm doing 1 RC section daily M/W + 1 LG section daily T/Th + 1 LR F + half LR section M-Th.
I'm currently studying this way utilizing the drill tool, so it'll pull sections from different PTs. To get a better idea of how I'm scoring, should I instead work on a specific PT a week?
I’ve always read these success stories and wished for the opportunity to one day be able to write my own. Well, over half a year of studying and preparing, my LSAT journey is officially over!
I began with a 149 diagnostic score in June 2022 and finished with a 168 on the January 2023 LSAT, three points higher than my goal score! This would not have been possible without 7Sage and my tutor @"valentina.soares-1"
I was hesitant to spend the money on a tutor, but with a busy work schedule and limited study time, I knew that I needed additional support. Valentina made all the difference when it came to studying. The personalized study plan helped me maximize my study time by providing drills and resources tailored to address my specific weaknesses. I looked forward to our weekly tutoring sessions. She took the time to get to know me which made me feel welcome and comfortable. She also made sure to fully understand my struggles. The material we covered directly correlated with problem areas from my 7Sage analytics. She was extremely patient in her approach, even when it would take me several times to truly understand an LR stimulus. I appreciated that she would ensure I understood the concepts/reasoning before moving on to the next topic. After implementing the strategies provided for each section, my PT score average jumped several points and kept climbing. Outside of our weekly sessions, she was always available to help. From answering my email questions to even providing a Quizlet with LR flashcards. It was evident that Valentina cared about my success from the beginning and she went above and beyond to help. I could go on and on, but I cannot recommend her enough!
Thank you, Valentina! I am very grateful for your support, your guidance and for always believing in me.
Still looking to help people with their LR/RC fundamentals. If you are a 130/140 scorer message me so I help you out!
I do not want to do a full LR section when studying. I am already alternating between doing a full section of RC/LG M-Thurs, Friday doing a full LR section, and want to only do half a LR section after doing a full RC or LG section. My study schedule is m/wed full RC section with half LR, tues/thurs full LG with half LR, Friday full LR.
Can anyone show me how to select only 12-13 problems of LR, or if this is even possible? Thanks in advance!
I was wondering for the recent LSAT is the experimental sections last or they can be any of the four sections? #help
Hi all!!
I am gearing up to take the LSAT in September, but am wondering if anyone has had (or will have) accommodations on the LSAT? I am diagnosed dyslexic and I feel like I'm out of gas and out of drive with how much I sometimes struggle with comprehension, especially under stress (though this will NOT stop me, I am DETERMINED to keep going, even if it takes a little more time than others to get the score I want!! While my dyslexia can be challenging, it will not be the reason I don't pursue my dreams).
I was looking at the listed accommodations and feel extreme relief seeing that you can ask for reading out loud (this is very crucial for me) / extended time__ with proper documentation. So, I'm just wondering if anyone else has gone through the process? Or hey, even has study tips if you're willing/comfortable to share!
Thanks so much
I scored 140 on PT 52 under the normal time pressure but I scored 157 on BR. Not sure what to make of this or how to proceed in my studying. I am almost finished with all of the LR section lessons of the core curriculum. I have done the most studying on LR, which is my strongest section, and I have done very little studying on the LG section. I have done absolutely zero studying on the RC section. The majority of my mistakes during the actual test were from running out of time on the LG and RC section. I was unable to answer about 15 questions in the LG section because I ran out of time and I was unable to answer 10 questions in RC because I ran out of time. Any advice on how I should proceed in studying?
I have done problems that it's my second go-round and will choose the exact incorrect AC I did previously. It's interesting because once I know the right AC and am looking at my wrong answer journal, I clearly see what I did wrong and I'm like, I definitely knew better. And I'm bugged with myself for not remembering the concept. I think I'm pretty thorough with my WAJ, but am I not being thorough enough? Or just takes time for this stuff to sink in?
just another thank you seven sage post!! never thought I would get to make one of these lol. I've seen so many of these posts and the only part of them that discouraged me from time to time was when people mentioned their crazy score increases yet the score they were comparing their official score to was their diagnostic test. I scored a 147 on my official first LSAT after already having exposure to/studying for the test. I think it is important to mention that it is fully possible to make SIGNIFICANT gains even if you have yet to see them after a few months of studying! Be patient with yourself :) patience was something I lacked most days!!
Is the LSAT still the flex version for 2023? Is it 4 sections, 3 scored and one experimental? So out of 77 instead of 100?
Has anyone had a similar issue?
The particular issue I'm having is that the summary of the AC's correct and incorrect under the Drill Sets "Review Results" is not matching what is shown in the individual explanations. For example, I just completed four logic games from PT 31. As I'm in the process of FPing, I'm not always BRing directly after, I sometimes show results immediately under timed conditions to see what was correct and incorrect. I got four incorrect of the thirty five, three from one particular game and one from another. Specifically, PT 31, S1, G2 (Music store sells ten CD's), the results from the Drill Set say I got 7, 8, and 13 incorrect. When I go to watch the explanation, it now says 7, 8, 9, 12 were incorrect, with 13 having changed to correct. When I go over to the right of the AC's and hover over the wheel showing previous ACs with the selected AC and the corresponding date, it's giving me the incorrect date's AC. This is just becoming a slight challenge as I'm starting to notice a pattern where the AC's are becoming convoluted with the previous attempt. I'm using Safari on macOS Monterey 12.6.3
Can people please post LSAT percentiles from official tests for 2022. They have changed over time. The ones I posted are official percentiles from either personal or from friends for 2022. The percentiles do slightly change over time but the ones posted are current/ official percentiles. I'm missing 171-174 if anybody has received/ and or knows of someone with that score please post it in the comment sections. Also if you think there's value in filling 162-165 and 167-168 feel free to also post that. The main intention was from 96% (170 and UP). Again the percentiles have changed! A 170 used to be top 2% (98%) and lowered to top 3% (97%) as more and more people started scoring higher scores. Now its top 4% (96%). If I do end up getting responses then I will edit this post and fill up the missing percentiles/ scores.
I know a 161= 78%
166= 90%
169= 95%
170= 96%
171=
172=
173=
174=
175= 99%

Is there a way to see explanations of questions in drill mode or am I just being blind? 7sage is so difficult to navigate through I feel like instead of spending time studying I am spending time trying to navigate through this thing.
I've been studying around 5-6 hours every day for about a month now, and I'm scheduled to take the exam in April (my 3rd attempt overall). However, I'm currently stuck in a slump where I feel super unmotivated since my score's been plateauing in the low 160s, which is around what my result was on my most recent real test, and I really want to break into the 170s. Whenever I take PTs, my best and worst section is constantly changing - for example, I'll get -7 on one RC and then -3 on another, and the same goes for LR. With LG, I'll get -0/-1 on drills, but on practice tests, I almost never do that well. I feel like I need to drastically overhaul my studying methods because right now, nothing seems to be working, but I don't know where to start. Tutoring is out of the question since I'm not looking to spend any more money, so any advice on how to continue studying on my own is greatly appreciated!
