Hey 7Sage and all,

Just wanted to share that while not a great score, I'm super proud of the 154 I received today. My diagnostic was a 132 and I was really down and out, feeling like I could never really achieve anything. I was diligent with using 7sage and couldn't be happier with this service - kudos to creating a great platform. I could take it again, but have a full time job and a husband who's in grad school and don't really have the time and/or funds. Thanks again to all the 7sagers who were super helpful and responsive too.

Just remember, especially if you're unhappy today, a score doesn't define you. An LSAT score tells a school a redacted story about your personality, potential and capabilities. Shine in other ways, because perfection can't be found in a number.

Cheers,

Jer

I honestly do not even know what to post. I got completely destroyed on test day. I scored 10 points lower than my average practice tests. All this studying for 6 months and I scored lower than I did on practice test one!!! I saw my score and instantly started crying. I don't even know how to come back from this. The thought of repeating this in January just feels extra discouraging and hopeless...and more nerve wracking not to mention..:( Do not even know what to do at this point. All my plans feel like they have been crushed.

For those of you who were waiting to take it here. Just stumbled upon it going through problem sets... no explanations yet, but at least it can be added to your analytics now.

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

Although I think i will be retaking, I want to thank this community and 7sage for the great service! I started out with a 140 diagnostic in March and felt pretty hopeless. After 8 months of studying with 7sage I was able to score a 161 on the November test and now have some solid options. I also want to apologize to everyone who did not score how they were hoping. It will only make it that much sweeter when you do get your dream score!

Just wanted to hop on here for the last time and say thank you to everyone at 7sage. I increased my score 8 points from my last LSAT and performed better than a majority of my PT's !! I know that isn't much to some people but considering how discouraged I was starting to feel after my last few PT's and after even taking the November Flex- I couldn't be happier.

For anyone that is currently studying for the LSAT and feeling discouraged or helpless- please hang in there. It is so easy to throw in the towel and give up when you just can't get that one problem set or you have no motivation to take a PT but I need to remind you that there is a reason you are studying for this test and going to law school so push through and you will absolutely see results. Good luck to everyone that is taking future tests, you will ace it!!!

Side note, I have both gently used and new LSAT prep books including Powerscore Bibles (LG and LR), LSAT Trainer and volumes 5 and 6 of the 10 actual and official PT's so message me if you are interested in buying them discounted. Honestly just looking to get them off my hands.

always keep the faith! It was nice know you all, what a supportive community :)

Just got my score posted on lsac---

don't post a lot of comments on here but have been using 7sage curriculum on and off for last two years.....got a wife and 4 kids, work full time .....this is a life changing score for me, my dream of getting into a law school can be actualized with this score, thank you for all your posts.....everyone played a part.

I went in blind on an official test in 2018 and had no idea what I had gotten myself into but i stuck to curriculum and practice sections (mainly) --- it works when you work it.....

not the best score but will get me into all my target schools.....one of the happiest days of my life y'all!

keep grinding 7 sagers.....your goal score is just around the corner....

Doing a little happy dance tbh

I am extremely happy with this score and I couldn't thank 7sage enough. Time to go and be a lawyer doing lawyer things

AAFKL:SDJFKLDJF:LKDJF yay :)

Thank you JY and 7sage community.

Wrote August and got a 150. Wrote in November and got a 160, which was my goal score and all I needed for Canadian law schools.

To anyone reading this, you can do it!!! Do not give up, be easy on yourself and trust in J.Y. !!!

I was PTing an average of 160, 162, 165 on all the practice tests for a whole month straight before the November test, it was my first lsat but I honestly didn't feel nervous when taking the test. I just scored a 156 and I'm just in shock. Are the Practice tests not an accurate reflection of the actual scoring? Was it the curve? Did I just have an off day? Anyone else in my shoes before? I am going to retake in January and also another question how late is that to apply in this cycle?

Just wanted to take the time to thank JY and the 7Sage community for helping me reach my goal! There are many other people who did exceptionally well (170+) on the November Flex (congrats!) so I do feel as if there were some points left out there. However, I am very proud of this score and should be able to get into my dream school! This was my third time taking the LSAT (159 cancelled, 163,164) and have decided it to be my final. My PT range was around 163-167. I initially started some rough LSAT studying in the spring but began to ramp it up around late June. Back then I would consistantly PT around 155-158 and after a month felt like I was making no progress. Many people find this test to be easy to pick up but I for one really struggled to grasp the concepts and correct approach to the exam. I would get really down on myself as it can be somewhat discouraging reading other people's LSAT success stories while I made no progress. I think it was really important for me to manage my expectations regarding my PT scores (and LSAT scores) and to be content in my own successes while it may have been to a lesser degree than others posting to the forum. My big "aha" moment was realizing how much I would skim questions without understanding them. I really started to see improvement when I would read the question, stimulus, and try to predict the answer. Initially, the process is much slower, but with time I would be able to breeze through LR much faster. I also found that doing roughly 2 PTs a week and thoroughly assessing them afterwards (checking for time-sink questions, which questions I fell for trap answer, using 7Sage video explanation) continually improved my score. By the end of the process, I had taken around 35-40 practice tests and honestly wish I had taken more. I highly recommend taking as many PTs as possible given you are reviewing them and learning from your mistakes. Anyways, it feels like a long but enjoyable chapter of my college experience is over. I will miss studying for this exam and hope you January test takers can get your dream score!

Dear 7Sagers,

Thanks to the community and the great material here on 7sage I received a very pleasing 160 on the November LSAT Flex.

I tell you because I’ve seen a lot of discouragement and disappointment in the forum on score release day!

I first took August 2020, got a 154, score preview cancelled that score.

Second I took September, I got the shredder game (look it up) I bombed LG, ended up with a 151 on my permanent LSAT record.

I have averaged 158, across 30 PT’s and am fairly consistently improving... when this 151 came, I was very disappointed but I jumped back in right away for November!

I took the test 11/10/20, afternoon.

Program shut down in the middle of RC passage, someone also knocked on my door which was distracting. But I pushed through... kept focus as much as possible.

I got a 160 score today. I am so delighted.

All this to say, I felt hopeless a few weeks ago, but I started drilling games, doing 8-10 games a day. I have thoroughly worked and understand at least 80% of all games! I explain them to anyone who will listen. I really visualize.

As for strategy, imagine your score with a -0 on games, which you may be able to achieve by the January 16th administration! Work your games, read some passages and outline them to yourself! You can recover from a dropped score! I did! I believe in you! Message me if you need any help!!

All Best!

Heather

10 point increase after 8 months of basically full time studying!!! 144 to 154!!! I am a little disappointed because my 25 practice tests were low 160's consistently but the test day nerves got the best of me!!!! I am not really an anxious person and I usually am calm if I am taking a test of any sort but I really underestimated the mental aspect of this test. Not really sure how to work on this but just some thoughts for Jan / Feb test takers. I did so many logic games over and over again and I felt like I really knew what I was doing going into the test and then BAM, a brutal reading comp section. Just derailed my confidence for that first section. Oh well!!! My gpa is a 3.6 so I am hoping this will also help. I am definitely applying for fall 2021: ) if anyone wants to compare personal statements or addendums let me know : )

On the bright side, I started a full time legal assistant job this week in the middle of the pandemic that is cool with me leaving for school next fall!! Trying to look on the bright side. Thanks to this community and positive words of encouragement the past few months. Just reading some posts and comments on here throughout my studying has made all the difference

Currently scoring a 146, and I'm terrified I won't hit above a 150 for the January LSAT. Anyone else in my boat? I've never been great at standardized timed tests.

thx 7sage 😬😬😬😬

Thanks 7Sage. Did not think this was possible when I took the diagnostic in July.

I usually just run with the rules that I write down on my first read, but sometimes I make those silly mistakes. I also don’t want to waste too much time rereading the rules either before setting things up because right now I am still slow to complete games.

I guess it’s better to double-check because I would waste more time completing a game with incorrect rules and still get questions wrong. Ideally this is what I should be doing.

Honestly, I am just curious to see what everyone else does. Has it been a habit for you to double check your rules after writing them down or do you just read once and GOGOGO?

Hey all,

I took the November Flex and scored a 155. I am not sure if I should delete the score (since it was my first time taking it and I paid the extra money for the option). It is important to note that I took the Nov. Flex when I was positive for Covid-19 and running a fever so I think my score would have been higher otherwise.

Also, looking for study partners for the Jan Flex test--any takers?

Hey guys are all scores released today? I just did my LSAT writing two days ago

How does one get better at designing their CLIR? This isn’t 7Sage related per say but a few folks here have used or do use Loopholes by Ellen Cassidy and I need help on designing my CLIRs. It’s so hard to answer my “WHAT IF”. I can outline the conclusion, and categorize but I just get lost when I have to connect the dots. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone experienced a significant drop in their rewrite???! I’m in complete disbelief. I was scoring 150s leading up to test day and for the last few months and did not sleep well the night before the November lsat. Still, I thought I managed alright and was expecting a modest 148 increase with my terrible sleep. I woke up this morning to see 144...I don’t know what to do. I have already finished the 18 applications I wanted this year and feel like I am now a complete reject for all law schools because of this dip. I was honestly expecting a 150 which could’ve very well made my chances okay due to my extra curriculars. If I rewrite, January will constitute my 4th rewrite. Any advice?? I’m just so upset with myself. The lsat is not how my brain works. I understand my scores sucks to a lot of people, but I have an extensive discretionary background that got me waitlisted at 4/13 schools I applied to last year with a 146. But now this...I’m contemplating whether I can even come out of this with any hope. Even if I get 150+ in January. I feel as though schools will view the dip negatively...

Hi all, I'm disappointed to see I scored two points lower on my Nov re-take (first take in Oct). Anyone else scored lower this time around? It's so weird because I honestly thought I did at least a point or two better...

I know admissions takes highest score but does our lower score ding us in some way? I feel like it looks kinda bad not to do better with even more study time. Dang!
