Hi, I took the LSAT in August scored a 138. I retook in November and used the LSAT Trainer and really studied. I scored a 134. I dont even know how thats possible. What do you guys think I can score by January Lsat?? I don't understand why I'm doing so bad. I start 7 sage today.

When I go back to the older games, I just completely blank out on them and need to watch video explanations to even have a shot but I feel by memorizing the game, it somehow takes away from the learning process? What am I supposed to do when I am stuck on a game?

Long story short, I've taken the LSAT 3 times. Please I don't want to hear, "well if it hasn't worked yet then you're not meant to go to law school." I took the test in October and I was not on my A game.That's not what I'm asking. It's my dream and I'm giving it one more go. I'm so hopeless with LG. Doesn't matter how many explanations or charts I see I'm stuck in the same spot I have been for 5 years. I've accepted that LG and I will never happen. I'm trying one more time for the test in April. I spent almost a month from the beginning of November to now just focused on LG and I have squat. Now I don't need a score in the 160s or 170s to go the schools I want, I'll settle for anything in the 150s. I'm starting to think of methods how I can still achieve this. Would it be smart that if in around another month I still haven't made progress in LG to focus on getting more points in LR and RC? Because since the flex test is around 74-78 questions, based on a score calculator, I would need to get about 40 right to be in the 150s. I'm open to any kind and respectful advice. Good luck to everyone.

I practiced a lot of LG questions and I got a huge improvement on it. However, my timing is terrible.

I want to ask for help on LG timing!

Please drop your advice!

Thank you so much :)

I scored a 169 on the October LSAT and looking to break 170 on the January test. Reading comprehension is holding me back, and I am currently averaging around -3 – -4 on practice tests for RC. If anyone has any tips/tricks/drilling suggestions to get down to -1 – -2, please let me know!

Hello, in the RC section I struggle a lot with finding the main point of the passage. Does anyone have any strategy for how to quickly figure out the main point of a RC passage?

Thank you 7sage. This is a dream come true for me and all thanks to 7sage.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my experience with my first time taking the LSAT to give people some hope given my situation. I have been studying for the exam consistently since June, but it has been a bit of a challenge trying to balance everything considering that I work full time. I have been thru tutoring, the LSAT Trainer, 15 PT’s, and now I’m reading thru the Powerscore LG Bible and Ellen’s Loophole to LR along with the 7Sage Curriculum. I have felt so discouraged because I have barely ever broken 150 on a PT, Consistently scoring in the high 140’s. I was expecting to see around the same score on the November LSAT-Flex, and I checked my score to see a 154 for my first time ever taking the LSAT. For context, the highest I have ever scored was a 151 on a PT. I never thought this would be possible! It may not seem like that much of an accomplishment to some but for me it is giving me the hope to keep going to increase my score to the mid-160’s. I was losing hope for a little while, but to see that score really gave me the confidence boost to keep going!

I am honestly shocked. I took the June LSAT and scored a 165 so I had minimal hopes for Nov but !!!

With a 3.3 GPA, I was only shooting for like Fordham and was gonna BS my essays but now I don't even know where to apply.

JY and this community really came down and saved my soul from student debt. god bless

sorry this is braggy but I feel like all the previous high 170 scorer posts I've seen had diagnostics in the 160s which can be really discouraging, so even if you have a low diagnostic, it's possible ppl!

I'm really struggling with trying to intuitively figure out if conditionality is relevant to the flaw for the argument at hand. There are certain stimuli that include conditional indicators that seem to be linked together. When this happens, I immediately go and try to diagram it, to try to see if there is in fact conditional reasoning. Sometimes, I am correct and there is conditional reasoning that deals with the flaw. However, there are many more times when I am incorrect and I end up spending so much time trying to force a diagram. I'm struggling to zoom on the gap in my understanding. I thought I had a solid understanding of conditional reasoning, but clearly it's not the case. Has anyone run into this issue before? Any advice is welcomed. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I noticed that in LR, I will have 2 or three questions unanswered because I run out of time. Anyone have any tips on improving timing and completing questions?

Has anyone ever skipped specific question types and seen success?

I just took PT 79 and struggled with the LR mostly because there were a lot of NA, MSS and MBT questions - these ones generally take me longer because they are so easy to mess up.

I was thinking of completely skipping all these questions for my next timed section and coming back to them as I feel like it would save me a ton of stress and time. Was wondering what other peoples thoughts/experiences are with planning question types that you generally skip and do last for the sake of time?

Hey! I am so lost on this question. "A society that has no laws has no crimes." Isn't "no" negate necessary, so that would become, in lawgic speak, L- -> C? (The no when it goes to negates "no crimes" becomes "crimes" in the positive sense. Then, why is AC A not correct?

I got a 164 on the November LSAT Flex and I am debating whether or not to cancel my score. I purchased the Score Preview option and have until tonight to decide. I was aiming for mid 170s but panicked on test day and did not perform as well as I could have based on PTs. I know a 164 is considered a great score for a lot of people, which makes me hesitate to cancel it (also I am really sorry if this is a super annoying post), but it is much lower than what I was aiming for and I will definitely take it again sometime next year. I am almost positive I can do better, especially if I continue studying. What do you guys think I should do?

I’ve been reading posts about now some people have gotten LSAT Flex scores lower than their practice test averages. I got a 155, but was PTing at 163-165 range. I felt the reading section (bipedalism) and logic games were tricky. LR felt standard for me. Do you guys have any advice on how to approach studying? What should I do to get a score around my PT range?

Hey guys,

I am currently averaging a -4 to -2 in LG. I have been in this range for two months now. Do you have any tips on how you overcame this hurdle? I think I scored a -0 only once ever. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you JY and the 7Sage community. It's been quite a journey and I'm happy to say I'm closing this chapter. To people still studying, my piece of advice is to trust the process and stay consistent. Take advantage of the resources we have here and connect with other students. Feel free to pm me for any questions/advice and good luck to you all! :)

Hi there,

I am an LSAT tutor and former 7Sager that regularly scores in the 175 area and I'm looking to help people out by offering a free Zoom class! I know games is the hardest section to be naturally adept at, so I will teach you guys some of the tricks that I use and teach my students.

Date and time are Monday the 30th, 7pm Eastern

DM for Zoom link

Hi all! I'm looking for an RC tutor. I feel like this is the one section I cannot improve on despite almost a year of studying and I think I'd benefit from some help.

I scored a 159 on the LSAT Flex in November. I had been testing in the mid 160s and the environment I took the FLEX was distracting for part of the test, having said that, the score was still within the range of possible outcomes.

I'm debating taking the LSAT again in January but am concerned with applying on the later side. I have a 3.83 GPA from a top 50 undergraduate school and am looking to go to a T-30 (my top school falls within the 25-30 slot). I think the GPA will help but I'm not sure if it's enough.

Thoughts on whether I should keep the 159 or try and re-take it and apply later in the cycle?

Hi guys , really need some suggestions here. I am a 36 yr old mother and don't have much time to prep and wait to get into school. I took my first LSAT ever in Nov 2020 and scored a 158. I did purchase the score preview. I am based in Canada and will only be applying to Canadian Law schools. Can anyone suggest if I should keep my score or cancel it? I will be taking the January exam and hope to do better, but then that'll be the only score I have and I really am looking to start school in fall 2021, keeping in mind the age considerations.#help

I cannot for the life of me improve on these types of questions. I keep getting all of them wrong on LR sections and they hurt my score badly.

Does anyone have any tips on how to improve? PLEASE? The only time I get a Flaw question right is when it's an analogy. I feel like I have trouble identifying the different types.

Thanks!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to review incorrect LR questions. LG is obvious because you can redo the question/do the five step method and redo a similar type. But I'm unsure how to tackle LR questions I've gotten incorrect. Any advice is appreciated, best.

Hi. I am taking the February 2021 FLEX LSAT. I have about 3 months now to study! 1) Is 3 months enough? I could also retake the LSAT FLEX again in April 2021 if I do not score high enough in February. 2) How should I prepare for the Logical Reasoning section? So far I have the Logical Reasoning bible from Power Score, the Loophole in Logical Reasoning by Ellen Cassidy, and a full 7Sage account. What is the best and why? 3) What about LSAT Demon for Logical Reasoning? Thanks!

I couldn't see how the term "normal" was used differently between the two speakers? Would someone be able to clarify how to focus on that? I completely brushed over that.
