Has anyone had success getting a test limit exemption approved by LSAC, currently in this situation and looking to see if anyone has advice for me. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi all!

My understanding is the following:

However, when "or" means "and" in a sentence, do we follow Group 3 rules? How would we write it in Lawgic?

Example: Jane is a faster eater than either Mary or Jon.

Thanks in advance!

Hey! So I'm currently about 50% of the way done with the Core Curriculum on 7Sage and am planning on taking the June LSAT this year (for the 2023-2024 application cycle). I feel like I'm in a pretty solid spot right now but I definitely have a lot more to do.

However, after doing some research from various sources, I'm seeing that the June LSAT is historically, from a statistical perspective, the hardest one that is administered. If you're reading this, can you confirm whether or not this is true? Additionally, should I even let these aforementioned stats influence which month I take the LSAT in? Thanks for taking the time to read this!

I’m a junior in undergrad rn. Is that too early to start studying? Does the material change drastically year to year?

Hi! I'm new to this. Do instructors provide the homework assignments before the class? If so, how far in advance b/c I plan to take class tomorrow, but I do not see the homework for it. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

Hello everyone sorry if this is a redundant question. I plan on taking the LSAT in April. I started studying roughly in September (but I would say I really get tough on myself in January). I finished the Trainer in December and am currently working my way through 7sage. I plan to finish the curriculum (without PTs) before March, giving me only a month to just completely immerse myself in PTs. Given that shortish time frame, I'm not gonna be able to do all practice tests. I was wondering which ones should I give priority to. I think I read on here that 80+ or something like that was different that the previous ones I believe? I would appreciate any advice, thank you!

I've always been the type of person who spends a ridiculous amount of time creating beautiful & detailed ipad notes. It's been proven that hand-writing notes helps with long-term retention of the information, but it's a huge time-suck and honestly causes quick burnout. How does everyone take notes? How often do you go back and re-visit your notes?

I know mine is not a unique problem, but I am wondering if anyone has advice. When I have the time to slowly go through each question, I have great accuracy in pretty much all four sections. However, especially in the LR sections, I am finding the time pressure is causing me to miss important details and trying to move quickly results in sloppy decision making. I know practice helps, but I continue to struggle when under pressure. Does anyone have any tips for overcoming this?

Hey guys just wanted to see if anyone has thought of this strategy or is doing this. Lately Ive just been focusing on Logic games. Since I'm retaking the test in April, I figured I'm better off hitting one section hard instead of trying to improve on the test as a whole. As you may already figured out the LSAT doesn't give you an increase in points right away instead you have to reach a boiling point of improvement until it translates into actual score increases. What do you all think of this?

Is it recommended for me to do the drills for each type of LR question immediately after completing it in the CC?

Hi everyone!

I am pretty new to 7Sage and am still trying to get a grasp of everything it has to offer.

One question I have is how strictly should I be following the study schedule that was provided for me? I have heard that while studying for the LSAT, I should be doing multiple practice exams, but on my first couple weeks on my study schedule, there are none. Should I still be doing practice exams although the schedule does not say I should? Or should I wait until my study schedule has them on the agenda for the week? Thanks so much, hope you can help!

IS anyone else having trouble joining the live classes? Mine keeps telling me the host has been alerted im waiting but I don't get let in.

Hi everyone! I have two questions regarding the April and June tests that I'm hoping some of you know the answers to:

Looking for a tutor for the near future

Hey everyone. I wanted to gauge everyones thoughts on doing PTs with 3 sections vs 4 sections. I’ve heard a lot of people mention that doing 3-section PTs inflates your scores due to stamina being less of a factor. I usually opt for the 3-section PT as I find it more efficient and just better overall for days when I don’t have much time. However, I recently took a 4-section test and actually received the highest score I’ve ever gotten on it. This takes me back to my question on what people think is best. Is it really so bad to do 3-section PTs? I understand it doesn’t simulate real exam conditions but, again, I’d like to hear some opinions on what you guys do!

Will 7Sage eventually be updated to include the 2021 PT's when they're released from the LSAC? TIA

Was just curious as I was approved for a fee waiver.

Is it better to craft the writing sample before or after taking the test? Does it matter? How many days/hours should usually be put into it? Thanks!

Feeling grateful for this fantastic resource. Blind review, wrong answer journal, drill old question sets until you get them perfect in under time. These aren't just buzzwords and sayings--they won the day for me. Phew--feeling relief. Time for donuts and big chilling time.

(technically got a 164 on the diagnostic but I had already done the LG section on that PT and blind reviewed it on another platform, my next test where I went in fully blind was a 159)

Hi! I just got my jan mark back and i think im going to rewrite it. I got a mid 150s mark and my goal is mid 160s.. i have used almost all of the 7sage study material drilling wise and i have done the pt's in 80s and all of 90's including the latest the 93 prep test. I am super confused as to how i would restudy? how do i go about using the same material again

Just got my January LSAT results back, and unfortunately I performed the worst I ever have on a test. This was my first official LSAT however I've been studying and PTing for the past 8 months, so I know for a fact that it is not an accurate reflection of my potential, or even close to my average PT scores. I'm debating on cancelling since I already purchased the score preview, however, I'm not too sure whether it is a good idea to cancel vs not to cancel since this is my first official test. I'm not applying til next cycle so I'm wondering how will this affect my application when I do go to apply?

Hello everyone. If Law School 25th percentile is 150 and 50th percentile 154, and my score is 152, that means I am in 50th percentile?

I just realized that 7sage has an automatic drill building function where you can create drills of LR, RC, or LG and filter by type of question. It tells you how many clean questions you have to draw from for each question type.

My concern: does it draw clean questions from PT's 35+ ??? I don't want to use questions from future PT's I might do, but want to build sets of certain question types and that seems easiest to do with this function.

Hello, I took the LSAT in the fall of my Senior year in college back in 1996. I decided to venture on a professional career in law enforcement. I am planning to take the LSAT either late this year or early 2024 and planning to retire and go to law school hopefully sometime in 2024 or 2025. I faintly recall the LSAT from 27 years ago, I am just beginning my journey to reacquaint myself with the process again. Has the exam changed, are there new areas that have been introduced? Also, is the test at the testing center computer based now? Needless to say, it was not computer based back in 1996. I feel I have a lot to learn about the process again.

I am writing this because I just took my first practice test since my diagnostic, which was on December 15th (6 weeks ago). My diagnostic was a 154, with a -6 on LG, -5 on LR, and -13 on RC (I got really fatigued during this section and ended up running out of time with like 10 questions left and folded). I am applying to Harvard's Junior Deferral Program this summer. My goal score is a 175, because I have a slightly below 25th percentile GPA for Harvard, so I need to at least be slightly above the median on the LSAT. I am taking the LSAT in April, with the opportunity to take it one more time in June if I do not get my target score.

My process up to this point was that I went through the core curriculum and finished everything. I did not do blind review in the interest of time, instead I would look at the answers and watch the videos for the ones I got wrong, and the explanations for the ones I got right but spent more than the recommended time on. My reasoning for this was that I could always go back and study the questions more intensely later on, if I have trouble with a particular problem type or question, but I did not want to linger too long on anything if I was going to finish the core curriculum before taking a practice test, (which my obsessive mind felt like was necessary). That might also just have been me being lazy, but oh well.

Today I took the February 1997 Practice Test, and got a 172, -4 on LG, -2 on LR, -4 on RC. On Blind review I got a 178, -0 on LG, -2 on LR, and -1 on RC. A big thing was that I had run out of time on the last logic game and went back and pretty quickly fixed 3 incorrect answers. When I submitted I was completely expecting a 165ish score, and it popped out a 172. Obviously I was stoked, but now I have to reevaluate my plan for the next 3 months. I am just 3 points below my goal score, and 2 points below a perfect score on BR, which makes me believe that a 180 is in reach.

I was wondering if anybody had any advice on how to best handle these next 3 months to improve a 172. A big issue I am having so far is time management, which I think will come together as I do more practice tests. But would love to hear in general if anybody has any tips about inching out points in the 170's, and trying to get a perfect score.

I say all this with the thought that it could very well be a fluke and I go back to the 160's next PT, and I still have a lot more work to do like I was anticipating, but I am hoping that is not the case.
