149 -> 159. Thank you 7Sage.

I grew up in a broken home that reeked of alcoholism and abuse. I continued to struggle with my mental health once I began university. I did so poorly my first year I thought my law school dreams were over. With the help of my friends and a therapist, I bounced back and graduated university with a somewhat decent GPA and a small glimmer of hope knowing that the LSAT could be my one chance. I began my 7Sage journey in August of 2021 and dedicated 8 months of my life to studying. I scored a 149. After 8 months of vigorous studying and promising PTs. "Devastated" doesn't even begin to describe how I felt. I already had such low self-esteem so this put me into a hole, for lack of better words.

A couple months and lots of therapy sessions later, I began again. This time I told myself I can do this and that I deserve this. I took even more practice tests, hyping myself up before each one even though I didn't truly believe what I was telling myself. I then sat for the April LSAT.

When I saw that 159 this past Wednesday I began uncontrollably sobbing. I know it isn't a T-14 score or even an insanely high score, but it means everything to me knowing that I did that.

7Sage is an incredible studying tool. However, sometimes what you need the most is confidence in your abilities. If you're reading this, I know you're studying hard and putting everything into this. That's why you signed up for 7Sage! The fact that you've chosen this difficult path shows your resilience and determination. Whatever it is you do, please believe in yourself and do not give up. It may take time but my god, the feeling of knowing that you finally did it is worth every struggle and tear shed.

Best of luck to everyone, I cannot wait to see and hear about your LSAT journeys and what you do in this world!

I am running low on time before I am going to take my LSAT. Is the RC portion of the curriculum worth going through after finishing LR and LG? Or would it be more beneficial to start PT'ing instead? I have about 1 month to go before my LSAT test date and I just started working through LG.

I plan on practicing (drilling) LR sections every week to stay on top of that and keep practicing while going through the LG course (which is way shorter than the LR course oh my gosh). When I did my diagnostic PT, it stood out to me that a lot of RC questions are similar to, if not the same as, certain LR questions. So, I guess my question is: is there anything super noteworthy that comes out of the RC portion? Or will drilling LR questions suffice?

Hi - anyone else experiencing this?

When I'm trying to add a class onto my Google calendar using the link from the class session's page, it does take me to my Gcalendar, but it adds the entire 7Sage class calendar to mine. It subscribes me to the 7Sage class calendar so that they all appear, unless I deselect the 7Sage calendar. There's no way for me to pick and choose the class I want, which is the way it used to work for me.

Hello everyone! I took the baseline PrepTest in the beginning of the course, but haven’t yet taken another one to gauge my progress. I’m about 20% through the LR course- how often should I be taking the PrepTests?

I started my journey about a year ago, with about a 140 diagnostic. Went to 148, then 150, now 155 on the last April test. My average for the last 10 practice tests I had taken was from 158 - 163. After the 150 test, I made some serious shifts in my mindset, study habits, overall approach to review and drill etc. I was starting to feel so good, intuitive, confident. I seriously thought I was ready.

I need a 160 on the August test - 5 more points - it truly will be my last try for personal reasons I don't want to get into on here.This is 3 months worth. Is this doable?

If so, how? Drill each section for now, review? Or practice tests and then analytics from there and review? 76 75 84 85 91 69 is the ones I have left that I haven't taken or were taken long ago. Is it okay to retake tests already taken and see the comparative improvement? In terms of material, how do I use it to my advantage?

I feel so lost, confused, and this shook my confidence down by a lot. Figuring out technology for 30 min and starting late, starting at a much later time than most of my past tests, and during the third section feeling my brain already fall asleep - these are the factors that come to mind, if that is of any value. I don't mean to sound self - defeatist and I'm aware that my situation isn't necessarily unique, but I truly do feel disappointed and so low after seeing this. I really think I can do better, I'm just feeling down and confused and lost as to how I can specifically execute that.

Any specific study guidance (moving forward in my particular situation), words of wisdom, and genuine advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for whoever chooses to respond.

Also, here are my analytics from my last 10 practice tests on here:

LR: -5.7 average

LG: -7 average

RC: - 7 average.

I don't understand how I got a 155 on test day and missed that many more points, like I'm truly so confused.

I just wanted input from someone who may be in the same situation as mine.

I took the April exam and registered for the June on already. Whether you are in the same situation or not, would one

be kidding themselves if your goal is to gain 8-13 points with the studying that can happen in the time gap between now and the June exam?

Would you hold taking the June exam and postpone it (as well as your law school journey)?

Just took a PT and my pre-blind review score was almost full 10 points below my average. (Post BR was still around 4 points below by usual pre-BR average)

As I was taking this PT I could tell that I was really struggling to focus but I powered through because I want to make sure that, even if I am not at my best on test day, I am preparing for that. This has really stressed me out though- I'm scared that on the real day I will have another bad day like this and get a bad score, despite all of my hard work. I've been studying for over a year at this point and I've had some drops in score but never to this extent (I mean- this was lower than my diagnostic over a year ago!)

Needless to say, this has really shaken me. Any advice as for what to do next would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! If anyone in Seoul is studying for the LSAT, I have lightly used LR Drilling books that I don't need anymore. I can also hand over other materials for free. Please DM me!

i read recently an article by the ABA that indicated that lawyers on average score very high on surveys in positive traits like analytical reasoning and abstract reasoning, but very poorly on sociability and , notably, "resilience" which apparently is a trait meaning how well someone "rolls with the punches"...."lets things go" etc. just general agreeableness i guess you could say

have you noticed any negative personality changes in yourself as a result of lsat study? i love studying for the lsat. on balance, im happy with the way the geometry of my thinking has been reshaped by the test. but ive also definitely become a more cynical person. ive become more circumspect of the motives of others, and ive become much more critical toward things people say. the change in this person climate of mine has produced new weather patterns of occasional annoyance, irritation, and downpours of negativity. i find it interesting honestly. ive read all the positive ways the test has changed people , but talk to me about some of the negative ways? thank you

https://www.legal500.com/gc-magazine/feature/all-in-the-mind/

above is the article. its an interesting read. i originally read it on the ABA site a while back.

This is long overdue. But before signing off completely, I wanted to express my gratitude to 7sage and this community. I've seen people make posts like these and wondered, when it would be my turn. 7sage has been a huge part of my LSAT journey and as a result of this, I saw a 12 point increase on my score. I've been admitted into 6+ law schools and I can finally say I'm done with the LSAT. For a moment I didn't think it would be possible, but 7sage made studying a lot more fun and this community made it a lot more easier than expected. With that being said, I'm excited to began Law school in the fall.

Thank you for everything 7sage and this community.

I opted into the new "beta syllabus" and now I can't access anything other than logical reasoning. Even the contact button isn't working so this discussion page is my only option. This was my only evening to study this week and now it's completely fucked. What the hell?

Hi everyone. I finished the CC and wrote a brand new diagnostic. My first diagnostic score was at a 148, and 155 Blind Review in the beginning of the curriculum. The new diagnostic I just wrote had a 153 and a 165 blind review. I wrote both exams using the "simulate modern LSAT" option.

Should I not click "simulate modern" and write the extra LR section? I decided to not do so because I was thinking that I could use the extra questions for drilling and didn't want to waste them.

Moving forwards, should I focus on drilling sections of the exam that I am the weakest on, including the question types that I suck at BEFORE deciding to write more PT's? Or should I weave some sessions for drilling inbetween days where I PT?

My analytics are: -11 RC, -9 LR, -6 LG

Thank you!

I created two LR drilling sessions on advanced drilling mode and did the questions.

On both of those sessions I got several questions incorrect.

To practice just the incorrect ones, I switched over to auto build drill mode:

The drilling pool was zero and I could not create a drilling session using Auto Build.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!

Like most people here, my desire to attend law school is rooted in how much I want to help people. Back in 2020, I applied to law school and was rejected and waitlisted at all the law schools I applied to. Feeling defeated, I delayed a cycle and considered staying in my current career. However, so many posts on here encouraged me to try again. To my surprise, this year I have been accepted into 3 law schools, one of them being my top choice: Washington and Lee!

Just want to encourage everyone on here that if its meant for you, it will come. Do not give up hope!

Thank you 7Sage!

As I am working with my tutor and going through the CC and getting more of a deeper understanding or the test, I feel more confused than when I was studying just by drilling and PTing through Khan academy. My scores before were pretty alright, with a high of 165.

Now that I am learning the CC, I feel like I overthink all the questions and I have learned so much in so little time that it is hard to remember it all when I am doing questions. How have you gotten past this? To some extent I know it is just me essentially having to unlearn my intuition which had gotten me to where I was. But how long should I expect that to take?

I want to score a min of 170, but really am shooting for 175+, and while I theoretically have a long time to study, I want to take the Aug. test.

Hi everyone! While I know this cycle is far from over, a lot of us may be gearing up to take the LSAT, draft essays, and generally starting our applications for next cycle. I’ve created a discord server that is intended to be inclusive (not T-14 focused) if anyone applying next cycle is interested in joining the community. I will also be adding law students who want to be available to answer any questions for other aspiring students. :) Feel free to join here: https://discord.gg/k8ZF7Sba

I am considering pausing/cancelling my 7sage subscription for a month, as it will be a busy time. I originally purchased my subscription to 7sage in November, along with the mandatory LSAC test access purchase for ~100$. My access to LSAC prep will end in November 2023. If I were to cancel my subscription for May 2023, and restart it in June 2023, would I have to pay another additional 100$ for LSAC again, or would I simply go back to paying my regular monthly 7sage access charge?

I keep a wrong answer journal, and I go back to re-do questions every month. So far I have been finding the PT, "taking" it (but really just leaving all the questions blank until I get to the one I need), then deleting the entire test. There must be an easier way??

I've been stuck around 159 for a couple of months now. I took a month off studying which I regret because I had been steadily improving and after jumping back in I've been stuck where I left off. My goal is to break through 160, I would be super happy if I could get a 165. Planning to retake the exam in August and have plenty of time to study until then. Managed a 160 on PT92, and a 159 on the Feb LSAT this year.

LG has been my nemesis from the beginning so I've exclusively focused on studying LG. I went from missing about -17 questions to now average -11. I have a couple of learning disabilities that make LG extra challenging, but I would love to bump my average up tiny bit more in this section. My reading comp average is -5, and LR is -6.8. I'm thinking it might be time to switch gears a bit and stop neglecting the other sections during my studying. I drill and review LG a few hours a day for 2-4 days a week and try and take a PT at least once a month right now. I should have a bit more time to study starting May and hope to PT weekly and study 3-5 days a week for a min of 3-5 hours.

I would love to hear any advice about how I should shift my study strategy over the next couple of months to bump my score a few more points by August.

Also curious to hear from other folks with ADHD or other learning disabilities about any unconventional study tips that were helpful.

Thanks in Advanced!

Hi folks! I've been studying for the LSAT very part-time for the last six months. I've definitely improved since I've started. I feel like I understand the test, but I don't feel I'm improving beyond that. I'm reading, drilling, blind reviewing, but I feel like nothing is sticking. I've signed up for the June LSAT, and I hope to make some large strides during May. Does anyone have any tips on how they pushed through and started regularly strategizing successfully? Would love any tips you have! Thank you so much! Happy studying!
