😖 Frustrated

UI glitching in BR tester

I'm currently reviewing a PT, but the UI is glitching out and making it slightly difficult. Whenever I open the tester, it seems fine, but as soon as I try to use the highlighter feature, the page seems to begin loading, in that I can see the blue bar at the top of the screen that seems to indicate that something is loading. While this happens, clicking on any question at the bottom, the next/back buttons, or using the highlighter don't work. The only way to stop it is to reload the page, which brings me to question 4 of the section I'm on. Whenever I try to return to question 3 (the question I am currently actually reviewing,) the loading begins then as well regardless of if anything else is clicked or not. I've never had this problem before, and my computer works fine and is very fast. What could be causing this? I've already tried clearing the cache, restarting my computer, turning off extensions, etc

edit: the issue seems to be specifically occurring whenever I try to go to PT 150 S3 Q3 ... I am able to click through all the other questions with no issue

Maybe I'm getting too comfortable posting on here lol, but I wanted to share a painting I made this week in efforts to relax and distract from LSAT anxiety. For those of you who are also highly critical of yourself, please let this serve as a reminder that your LSAT score does not define you and to give your mind some time to relax!

💪 Motivated

-1 on Section

The section time is skewed a bit because I had answered a few questions in class, then began it on my personal computer. Outside of that though, I missed one! The progress has been slow but steady. I usually miss 6-7 questions. Seeing such changes is super motivating and exciting. The hard part now is to keep it going! I wish everyone the best of luck on their studying and tests!! Stay Swag 💯💯

I'd like to know I'm not alone on just struggling in this regard. Studying exhausts my work brain, and my work brain exhausts my study brain, don't know what to do about it at this point. I'm married and while I don't have kids, I have until recently been dealing with a lot of problems with my family too. My tests next month but I'm stuck 3 points below my goal score on my most recent PTs and don't know how to progress. And while I'm happy for the community, it can get very discouraging logging in and seeing people posting about their 178-180 PT scores.

I remember hearing in the 7sage podcast that, at least, fulltime work while applying is a powerful soft factor and that's my sole consolation.

Hello all,

I recently completed my entire foundations over the span of 3 months with a consistent streak of 68 days. However, as I've just entered the drilling phase of my curriculum, I expected to at least increase in 10 points yet my analytics show otherwise. The Sage AI proposes that I just drill Causr and Phenom considering that these are my 2 main leaks, yet it feels as though I am spreading myself thin.

What I mean by this is why is it that when I drill in these areas, I get half wrong and half right (EX: 5/12, 7/12 BR). And in PTs, I score a 139, BR 152, when my goal is just a 162. I've thought about drilling each question type until in which I know the mechanical process down to a T before moving onto another question type I need to improve in. For example, I'm consistent in solving MC question types so I figured I could apply this approach to other question types. Moreover, even if I just consistently do my practice blocks, I still feel as though I am just doing a task instead of actually internalizing a mechanical process.

Does anyone have any tips or is feeling the same way? I'm just a bit ambivalent here as to what I should do. It would also be nice to talk to a tutor but this curriculum alone is all I can afford at the moment.

Thankyou

🙃 Confused

PT 157

Just absolutely bombed PT 157 after 3 weeks in between PT. Went backwards in scoring by 8 points. If anyone has words of encouragement, I would love to hear them. Was not intimidated by the PT this time and felt more comfortable. Just lacked my time on RC, and was not focusing enough LR.

How do I stop doing shit like this? It looks like I like to do this get my results and then just stare out of the window for a few minutes.

Hi everyone, I underestimated my personal statement and can't come up with any good, interesting topics. I wanna write about why I would be a good fit for law school, but so far I don't like what I have. If anyone has experience with writing PS and can read mine and give feedback, that would be great. Just looking for someone else's perspective on it because I'm unsure.

😊 Happy

Grateful

Just wanted to say that I'm really grateful to 7sage for giving free access to fee-waiver students. There is no way I would've been able to afford and study the curriculum without 7sage's kindness. You have no idea how much of an impact this makes for us lower-income test takers. I'm forever indebted to 7sage and my GOATS, J.Y. and Kevin 🫶🫶🫶

Hi I have been studying since January and I recently started taking PTs in July. Ive recently been focusing more on reading comprehension so I was expecting a little dip in my LR score, so the first section didn't surprise me at all. Im just surprised that I got 9 wrong in the final section, I was thinking this could be a stamina issue since I usually get 4-6 wrong per section. It felt like nothing was clicking and I kept re reading the same sentence multiple times on the last section. I've scored 161 on my last three PTs and usually that is because most of the misses are in RC. I thought if I fixed my RC issue then I can reach my goal of 165 but now I think my issue is stamina possibly?

Any tips to keep your brain just as engaged through all sections?

I have been dealing with moderate depression and anxiety for several years before I ever started preparing for the LSAT. My symptoms began during my senior year of high school, and over the years they have improved with long-term medication. I am generally able to manage my daily life now, but I still experience periods when stress becomes overwhelming. During occasional preparing days, I experience intense anxiety symptoms, such as a very fast and persistent heartbeat and trouble concentrating. I also have long-standing sleep problems, which may contribute to some of these symptoms. Outside of studying, I try to maintain my mental health through activities that help me recover emotionally, such as attending concerts, watching films, and going to live shows. I’m curious whether anyone here has gone through something similar. How do you handle daily anxiety and depression? I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any strategies. Thank you.

Hi, I'm using the default PT, Section, Drill availability presets on 7Sage. I'm just confused specifically about how many PTs I should try to preserve for testing vs. sections? I feel like I'm short on PTs and Sections but I still have like 1900 LR drill questions and 172 RC passages for drills which seems excessive compared to what I have allocated for PTs and Sections. Additionally, I've taken PTs 141 (diagnostic), 118, 119, and 128, and it says my next one up is PT148. But that would be skipping over PTs 120-123 which are all 97% fresh? Should I take those as PTs first before I jump to PT 148?

Just confused and might be overthinking if I messed something up or not. Any advice is appreciated!

The few classes I've been to led by Mikey were some of the most rewarding and productive classes I've taken in my entire LSAT and college career. His advice before my April exam truly changed my mindset and helped me more than I could have ever expected. First of all, thank you, Mikey! Second, I would LOVE to see him teach more classes!

I've been studying for the lsat the past year. I also applied this past cycle and unfortunately only made the waitlist of 2 schools which are likely to pan out in R's. I felt somewhat optimistic applying as I am a super reverse splitter. Near perfect CGPA and 15low LSAT. I'm beyond frustrated as it feels that I cannot grasp a fundamental understanding of the LSAT and makes me question my own intelligence and whether the legal field is really for me :/

During a timed practice section, I sometimes forget I need to lock in and go, and end up not having enough time for 2-3 questions- just me? While on a full timed PT or just most of the timed practice in general I am able to answer every question with enough time. However, because I know it doesn't count against me I guess my subconscious kicks in and says, "its not a PT or the real thing, no pressure don't worry."

Just curious if this ever happens to others, its not common for me but once or twice a month I've noticed it. I also haven't taken a off day for a long time...

Is the LSAT Advanced Class always going to only be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays? I have a semester commitment on Tuesday nights but I think the class would be right for me #help
