Hello - I'm Grant and I am looking to offer some free help.

I am still amidst my study journey, but I thought it would be a good idea to get a new perspective on the LSAT by trying to teach those newer to the test, or those who are scoring in the 130/140's and would like to improve. Could be a win - win scenario.

I scored a 161 on the April administration, but I have many PT's between 163-170. I have been on my journey since last July, so I do believe I have some valuable insight regarding this test.

I am just looking to hop on a call for an hour or so once a week to work through some problems and possibly help to offer a new perspective.

Disclaimer - I am not claiming to be a tutor by any means, I am not asking for payment, I am just trying something new for myself that could benefit someone else as well :)

I feel so frustrated at the blind review feature. When I was first starting, I didn't realize that blind review shows you questions regardless of whether they were right or wrong. I then adjusted it in my preferences. However, I didn't realize that when it says "Flagged" for "Questions that you left flagged at the end of your practice," that it would bring me to my flagged questions with the exact same format as if it was incorrect. I thought it would just keep my flags on the question. Now I just did another blind review session where I changed the answers for the questions I answered correctly the first time, because I assumed they were wrong. This is so frustrating and I wish it was clearer on the UX why it was being suggested for blind review. Now that practice section won't be included in my analytics.. :(

Hi,

Below is every practice test I took up until my real test in april.

I took every test there is on 7sage that isn't an older test. What is your recommendation? Is it ok for me to re-practice tests in addition to drilling? Is there anyway to get new tests on 7sage? Do I really have to resort to taking older tests not in the LSAT computer format? I really need to start studying to be prepared for June. I really really want to beat my old score. Speaking of old score, what should I do if my 2nd test is lower? Cancel it or...? IF it depends on the score how long until a cancel is worth it? My target score is 166.

As the title states, I want to change my study plan to focus more on RC instead of LR

I just scored a 162 on PT153.

Hi everyone,

I am having trouble understanding causal reasoning. Would anyone be able to explain how it works and how I should approach a stimulus when the question type involves causal reasoning?

Also, I was wondering whether 7Sage has a section where we can review causal reasoning.

I would like some advice or feedback from people in similar situations. I got a 157 on my first exam this April, which is lower than I wanted. I got score preview as a fallback, but now am unsure if I should keep the 157 or cancel it. I initially told myself I would cancel anything below 160, since I am registered for June, but I am now unsure.

With a new interface coming in August, I was wondering if we could possibly get tips/strategies on how to work through it, especially with regards to timing.

Yeah, I understand that they base it off the data from thousands of users, but I'll go -1 on a section and it will give me a predicted score of like 168, lol.

Has anyone with accommodations taken the paper-and-pencil exam? If so, what does that look like? (i.e. how are the pages formatted, highlighters allowed, do they give you one section at a time?, etc.)

Hi - first time posting on 7S!

Self-studying the LSAT and was wondering if people always map logic for Logical Reasoning questions. I'm not sure if it's a waste of time, but is it worth the seconds to write down a quick logic map (like the one for this answer's explanation)? I was able to answer this question in my head (and not write down anything). Just wanted to know what's best practice!

Any tips/strategies for how to properly and efficiently review and go over RC section after doing PTs.

Currently getting 5-6 wrong per RC section and would like to know how to best go over wrong ACs and understand them.

Hi! I'm going through my lesson plans and find all of the Miro diagrams very helpful. Is there a page or link to all of them? I can't seem to find it.

Has anyone who took the April LSAT and received a score hold gotten their score back yet? I'm still anxiously waiting and would be interested to hear if others are in the same boat.

Realistically what is the best way to review wrong answers in RC? In RC you simply got it wrong cause you did not comprehend a certain sentence well enough. Considering this, I find it difficult to know how to actually review this so that you can comprehend better in the future since it will be an entirely different passage.

I just scored a 180 on PT154.

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for being more consistently in the -0 to -2 range on RC sections. I find myself still getting -3 to -5 sometimes and this is something I really want to fix before my next exam, especially since I think hard RC passages won against me in previous times.

Thank you guys so much!!!

I am starting to get a little discouraged by this exam. I have been practicing rather consistently the past couple of months (started a full-fledged study plan about four weeks ago), but I am consistently doing worse on my PrepTests (went from 162 to 161 to now 159). Starting to feel like things aren't clicking. I feel like I have a solid grasp of fundamentals which is why I am only doing practice, but things are trending in the wrong direction. I am really frustrated. Not sure what I am doing wrong here

I just scored a 162 on PT147.

Hello! Does anyone have tried and true advice on closing the gap between PT and BR scores? My recent PT scores are in the low-to-mid 160s, but I am consistently scoring 175+ on BR.

If it is helpful, my target score is 165, and I will be taking the June LSAT. This last month of preparation will be very intensive for me, so any advice is welcome.

Thanks!

Please note that this is in beta. LSAC is in the process of updating their tester and we'll keep pace.

I wrote the April LSAT, but scored below my floor. My typical test results range from 154-158. During my test I suffered a complete RC collapse which led to many unanswered questions.

Going into the test I recognized that RC was volatile, and began to pinpoint problem areas in LR. I was not fully prepared for that April test, but I wanted to have a test on file, take it remote while I could, go through the experience, and was hopeful I would score 158-162 as my drilling in the weeks prior was showing good improvements.

While 153 is close to my prep test range (154-158), that score does not really open many doors in terms of admissions, and I do not feel that it was an accurate measure of my ability.

I think I will not write in June to have more time to prepare for August. I am new to 7Sage and want to go through the lesson library and a full study plan so that I am comfortable next time I test. Going forward I am going to remove bad habits that distract from my studying and play into a poor attention span (aka reducing screen time and avoid social media).

So what is worse, the 153, or a cancel.

My target score is 162-165. Individual LR have ranged from 70-85%, RC 55-70%.

I just scored a 174 on PT154.

Hello!

There's often a large gap between my PTs and my BRs. My PT scores tend to be in the high 160s, and the BRs tend to be in the high 170s.

On most blind reviews, it's almost immediately obvious what the right answer is, and I can identify why the actual choice I made was wrong.

I believe stress and anxiety from the timer negatively impacts my performance.

In spite of having taken dozens of practice tests at this point (not all of which were on 7Sage), and having done a considerable amount of drills, sections, and reading/watching videos, my current average PT score (167) is lower than my initial diagnostic (no studying at all) score of 168.

Endurance also may contribute to the PT/BR gap. My mind sometimes starts to wander while I'm taking the PTs.

Do any of you have advice for overcoming the timer anxiety? Do any have advice for keeping your mind from wandering?

Thank you!

My BR PT scores are telling me that I understand the material but am struggling under timed conditions. I just did a very off-feeling PT where my score was a little disappointing but where I BR'd to a 174. I think many of these were because I was between two answers and selected incorrectly. Can you guys give me some inspiration for timed drills that can help me get my speed up? I am registered to take the June test, hopefully I'm not in too bad of a spot. Thank you!

I hate the new interface so I submitted feedback sharing my feelings, I believe if LSAC knows enough people feel the same way it's possible changes will be made. Submit your feedback here!
