Hi everyone! I took the October test last week and gave myself until today to relax and not think about the LSAT. Now, I'm trying to pick my best course of action. I am currently PTing in the low 160s with a 167 two weeks before October. I felt pretty good about my October test (better than any of my PTs so far), but for all I know I could've been in the 150s. Anyways, I'm operating as though I will be taking November. My goal score is a 165+. I've been studying 2 hours a day 6 days a week. I do timed sections with thorough review as well as targeted drills on my weak points. I do one PT a week with a full review the following day. Would it be worth it to try something new? Maybe try The Loophole as I haven't read it (if it can even be read in this short time). Or just keep doing what I'm doing? I feel pretty stressed in this last month as November is my last chance at my goal score. I also feel like I'm in a weird limbo as I don't know my October score. Any thoughts/tips are appreciated!

Hi there. I have taken this test too many times and all of those times have been virtual. I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to if there are differences in prepping for the in-person exam or things to be wary of to try to make sure I don't get thrown by this change. I have been taking my PTs at the local library in a cubicle, without headphones (since I wear glasses). It can be noisy especially since there are programs for young children on the weekends but I think filtering that out has been a needed exercise.

I appreciate any thoughts or advice. This is also my last attempt so I am pretty on edge about it :) Thanks

New: Line-by-Line Mode for drills, sections, and PrepTests

We've added a new training mode called Line-by-line mode. When it's on, the stimulus or passage is hidden except for the first sentence. To reveal the next sentence, just click. You can click anywhere on the hidden lines or below the stimulus.

Why use it? It helps you practice reading line by line, making sure you understand each sentence before moving on. That's a habit we encourage, and many tutors like to work with their students this way.

Give it a try and let us know what you think! (Try it together with Anticipation mode, too!)

Hi all!

I created a FREE site so that you can use it to study for the LSAT AND during law school. You can quiz, flashcard, set up specific question type vocab that can be seen in the test and even 1l+. It is free. I created this to help myself, and after I started UNDERSTANDING the verbiage in the questions and the answers, is when it finally clicked for me. I've since been scoring 92-100% on all my drilling with correct predictions etc. I hope this helps and again, it is FREE. www. LR Vocab . Com.

Hi everyone! I have been studying full time consistently since June, beginning with a low 150's diagnostic. I've taken few full exams since: 168, 164, 162, 165, 161, 162 (170 & 168 this week and last week, but those were merged sections done in the same day - not test day conditions).

1. I have gotten my LR down to -1-2, and hit -0 for the first time earlier this week - but can't seem to hold these scores steady getting up to -6 depending on the day. I took a break from sections a few weeks ago and focused solely on drilling weakness which really helped me feel much more comfortable in approaching every question type, and I feel like I have the foundations down.

2. For RC, my lowest is -2 untimed, and I typically get between -3-7 timed, but also get up to 9-10 wrong some days. I have done the 7 Sage curriculum and also the first three modules of RC Hero, but panic when I'm doing the full sections. I can do drills ranging from level 1-5, with 100% accuracy and within 7-8 minutes, several in a row, but can't seem to keep this up in sections.

3. I struggle to commit myself fully to practice exams. The 3-hour sit taunts me, and I can't focus knowing that I will be sitting there for so long and its not even the real exam. I have no issue sitting for three hours straight studying, doing sections, drills, review, etc., but panic when it comes to full tests (maybe because if I don't see progress I get super unmotivated?).

I am taking in November (rescheduled both September & October because of the variance) and am hoping for high 160s- low 170s). I have very few fresh sections left for both LR & RC, and have 8 more fresh tests in the 150's (although I want to save some, because I plan to retake the test next year if it doesn't work out)

Any advice for the variance and keeping scores consistent? Tips for the mental side of things? Also, for anyone who struggled to take the full Pt's and actually focus on them, did this level of focus change test day? Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any tips you might have!

Hi!

I have been scoring consistently 165 in practice tests, improving from a 164 and a 160, but i want to get better faster as I am taking the test in November, does anyone have any tips? I have a full time job, so it's hard to schedule time to study.

Writing this to see if anyone has any advice on tackling Link Assumption Questions. I take my LSAT in November, and this is one of my biggest weaknesses. YouTube does not have many videos on the subject for a deep understanding and I am struggling. There is also just the tag section on here but no detailed video or explanation.

Hello. So basically, what the title says. I have been studying for over a year now (diagnostic was a 139), and a year ago I was PTing at 146. I completed the 7Sage curriculum, read the Loophole, read both LR and RC Powerscore Bibles, and have once again finished the 7Sage curriculum for the second time. The grand finale after all that... another 146 UNTIMED. I am so incredibly heartbroken. I only actually locked into this exam 3ish months ago after a friend also studying for the LSAT convinced me to finally take it in November to help get over my fear of the exam (I had been signing up and pushing it back/canceling for months). I even had a tutor during this time, and he didn't quite help as much as I had hoped. I was also keeping a wrong-answer journal for a short time, but I was getting so many questions wrong and not fully understanding the reasoning why that I got so irritated and stopped.

My most recent timed PT was a 144. I know at this point I have no choice but to retest-- probably in February. Honestly, I'm not sure if I have it in me to keep studying after November and humiliating myself like this. Honestly, I'm probably half-assing my studying compared to others, but I'm not sure what to do, or if I even want to continue this career. Nothing has stuck, I don't know how to effectively study because I've never had to (not that it's an excuse), I've never been good at exams, and this test is just an accumulation of all these things. I keep being told to stop thinking so negatively and that it's all in my head, but I think anyone with this experience would eventually reach this mentality. I don't necessarily want to switch career paths and give up, but I also don't know how much more I can take. I have the grades, LORs, work experience, and an awesome PS, but the only thing holding me back is just a number. I've had to lower my goal score from a 160, knowing that anything lower obviously wouldn't get me into my top school (GSU). What more can I do?

I apologize for the rant, but I just wanted to keep it real in case others were also struggling like this.

Hey gang, I've been stuck in the high 150s for the past two months, and I am taking the test in November. I am really struggling with the higher difficulty qs on LR. I know the newer tests are getting harder, and I feel like I don't know what Im doing. Every single section, preptest, everything I do is 159. I want to get to 170s like everybody else on this forum but I am really close to just giving up atp.

My RC is fine. My foundations are fine. I blind reviewed a previous test and got a 174. But I just don't know what to do, how to improve. I haven't been reviewing my answers as deeply as I had in the past, but I'm just really scared that I can't get to where I want to be.

How detrimental is it to admissions odds to apply in December vs early November? I slept like shit on the morning of my October LSAT, my PT average is a 174, but this probably came in lower than that and just playing with the admissions calculator i see that even a 172 doesn't really do me much as far as odds for the schools i want to attend. I really don't want to wait for another cycle, but my question simply is: Is it worth it to wait and apply in December if i can say improve a hypothetical 172 to a 174?

I took my first LSAT in September and got a 161. I was averaging a 160 on PTs, so I was unsurprised with my score. Nevertheless, I knew I could score higher. After taking a month break from studying and mulling over whether I should take the time to retake the exam, I sat down and scored a high score on both my raw score and BR on the first PT back. I know this is PT 120, which isn't as similar to a real test as the PTs in the 150s, but I'm super stoked to keep going! Trust in God and send it! November here we come!

Hello everyone,

I am extremely happy to share that, after many calls, emails, texts, and patience, I have been approved to retake the LSAT on Tuesday in person! I am also glad to share that I took my argumentative writing on Sunday, and it was approved less than 24 hours later.

Please, send good energy and focus for me for Tuesday. I need it.

Thank you to everyone who has shown support or reached out to me. It means more than you know, your kindness has helped me push through this frustrating and scary process.

It’s so weird. It’s like my drilling tab is gone ! I can’t even take practice test ? How do I fix this !?

Hello 7Sage Support,

I am currently traveling from New York to Morocco, which is approximately an 11-hour flight. I would like to know if there is a way to download lessons, drills, or other materials from my current study plan so I can continue studying offline during the flight.

I am using the 7Sage app on my iPad and would appreciate guidance on whether offline studying is supported and, if so, how I can download my study materials before my departure.

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi Everyone,

I took the October LSAT this past week at an in person center and wanted to provide my feedback and advice for those who are new.

Note: I have taken a few LSATS in the past both in Logic games format and all remote.

1. the LSAT was not very different to what you would expect from PT's. You will see a lot of BS on reddit but to be honest they are not that different. So just focus and don't psych yourself out.

2. Test Center: My test center experience was pretty smooth, they provided noice cancel headphones which worked great. you can hear the door open and closes which does happen a decent amount but to be honest its easy to block out. The first 10 minutes of the test my nerves were very high because of the new environment but after that I was locked in. I would highly recommend that you take one practice test at a library or have someone you live with open and close your door every 10 minutes lol.

3. If you have to leave the room during a break, you are required to check back in which is a quick 2 minute screen. the people in the center are very organized and nice.

4. My big advice for test takers in general is practice your positive affirmations. For me the biggest difference between a PT and a real test is that I get instant feedback or know what is experimental ahead of time. During the real test it is normal for your brain to be like "I am not doing well" in fact it happened to me every single section. But I just kept reminding myself that this is normal I have felt like this almost every practice test and the result turns out fine. I also remind myself that it is a marathon and to focus in on the question at hand one at a time. I promise this will help you. don't just track how you do on PT's track how your mind is reacting to things and learn how to strengthen your mind. That will make a massive difference for test day.

   I hope this helps some people. please reach out if you have questions. Hoping for a positive result later this month but remember. This test does not define you!

I don’t know if it’s entirely in my head or the new tests I’ve sat for (Sept & Oct) genuinely do feel way different, but if it’s the latter, what’s the best advice you can give to be prepared for the CURRENT version of both LR and RC? There’s only so much material via PT150-159 and I’m kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

if it’s the former then let me know also. I’ve heard some people speak of a so-called “shift” around PT 151 and didn’t know how much merit there is to that. At whatever rate, any advice is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Also, if it is in fact different, can you elaborate on what makes it different, and how to know and prepare for that difference?

Just wanted to see if anyone else's SageAI is glitching? I don't think I've run out, but mine is stuck on thinking after asking it to analyze my results for a timed section I did (it took a few messages to get it to do anything). This only started for me this morning, so I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this issue, or maybe I'm just out of SageAI (hopefully not) and I don't know it.

I haven’t been sick for a year, now I’m rewriting the LSAT on Tuesday and I think I’m getting sick, painful sneezing and it kind of hurts to swallow. Everyone please send me your tips asap! Small note I am vegan with the exception of honey, in case anyone is going to leave food tips. I’m already very hygienic so this is bothersome.

Bro how do you guys read these passages in 1 to 2 minutes. I spend 3 to 4 minutes and still drop a question or two occasionally...open to tips.

Hi guys, I've been stuck in the 150s for the past month and I plan to take the LSAT again in November (I took the one in October; I'm not sure how it went). Any advice on how I should practice/study this upcoming month to reach at least a 160? My blind reviews also land me in the 160s and the feedback I get on 7Sage is that my underlying skills are in the 160+ level already. Just want to be able to actually get into the 160s on PTs and timed sections.

I gave my first LSAT on October 10th, and I didn't think it went that great. I was really bummed out after doing it, cuz I know it did not go as well as I wanted it to go.

But then I remembered that I overcame one of my biggest flaws. I tend to always quit things when they get difficult, and have a problem of fully committing to something. Studying for the LSAT was difficult, mentally draining, fatiguing, required a lot of committment, and at times it seemed like it wasn't meant for me. I still pulled through, I gave that test, and I am very proud of myself for that.

I know there might be a lot of you that might not be happy about how your test went, but it's okay, it's not the end of the world. You did the hardest part, which was studying and taking that LSAT. We're all gonna become lawyers, so keep believing in yourself, and keep going till you make it to the finish line.

Hello guys

I have a question, when you guys do a section do you review it the same day or go back to it the next day?

Ive been studying for a long time but have struggled to improve beyond high 150's/low 160's. Its difficult to assess how well I am doing when I take a full practice test or even a section with only 25-30% freshness. I dont remember that many of the questions but I still feel like its somehow easier.

I was wondering how long people had to wait to hear back on an accommodation request

I took this section last night, got a 20/25. I think I got the same score taking this section in February, but with some different wrong answers. While I am getting more 5-star questions right here, I have two questions:

1. How can I prepare myself for fresh material without getting stumped? I didn't memorize these questions, but it did speed the process along when I was making predictions.

2. While I am getting past the first 15-17 questions, I still got a few wrong answers in the front half of the section. How can I better pace myself so I can get as few 1-2 star questions wrong as possible?
