I’ve often heard that score increases on the LSAT correspond to lots of money in scholarships. Are you automatically considered for these scholarships when you apply to schools or do you have to apply? Where can i get more information on this?

Dropped by 5 points in my PT. Honestly a bit frustrated 😪

Hey guys, I've been studying for a couple of weeks now and it feels like I am missing most of my answers because I've developed a poor habit of not actively reading and missing some words on LR questions. Has anyone experienced this before? If so, what were some remedies?

Hello!

I am currently studying to take the August LSAT. I have about 2 weeks under my belt using 7Sage, but I was wondering how realistic it is to go from a 150 (PT taken 3 weeks ago) to a 163?

I am only applying for Law Schools in Canada, and my dream school's LSAT Median is 160. I am doing 3 summer courses currently, so I have more time to study than most who work full-time, but the LSATs can't be my entire focus. My current study plan ranges from 2-4 hours a day, 6 times a week, but I am having a hard time finishing the daily study modules, ESPECIALLY when I have other assignments.

This entire process has been very confusing, and I am getting tons of mixed information about how attainable my goal score is within my timeline.

Should I consider moving my test date to September?

Title. Have been improving noticeably with LR but RC is such a struggle for me (getting mostly -10 + on sections). My struggles with reading comp are really bringing down my PT scores. Any tips to improve at RC and what I can do to improve? Any advice is appreciated

Are we allowed to talk about the June LSAT on 7sage yet? The LSAT subreddit has all types of discussion about it, so I’m not sure if talking about it in public forums is prohibited.

Does anyone have some RC aha tips, insight, advice?

Hey! Is anyone in the Mondays & Thursdays class that begins at 4:00pm (pacific time)???? The Zoom still has not started

There is a technical issue I am experiencing with my account. I am currently unable to access the paid material, and I am receiving a LawHub error message. Could anyone please let me know how to resolve the issue? Please let me know if you need any additional information. I have already emailed studentservice@7sage.com

Hey does anyone have a good tutor based in LA. In the valley or city? need one asap!!!

Quick question: Although 7Sage is using the new UI: will the New UI include highlighting in the LR section? It may be updated by now, but LawHub had this new UI option but did not have highlighting as a feature. Any thoughts on this? I highly depend on highlighting for thought organization so it would be a fair challenge to overcome.

Hi,

Is there a way for me to test out what the large font looks like? I was hoping to get a PDF version of that large font so I can see just how big it is if I take the pen and paper accommodation.

Thank you.

Hello all, my name is Ray. I'll be applying to Law School in January. Any tips on taking the LSAT? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I took the LSAT in April and am taking it again in August. As I've been studying again, I'm wondering if I should be studying with larger time blocks (more drills), but spend less time on my WAJ and analysing my thought process or with shorter time blocks where I can really focus on my patterns and what I am getting wrong.

I am trying to make a jump from the mid 160s to the 170s. I'm not sure how to approach this goal as efficiently as I can and improve my score as much as I can in the next two months.

I'm greatful for any advice! Thank you!

Hi 7Sage Team,

I recently began the drilling portion of the study plan and I noticed that the settings portion before you start drills include difficulty options. Would you recommend just going with the default options, or are there reasons that one should adjust the difficulty level of the drills?

Thank you!

Given that we are currently working without the highlighting and underlining features in the RC practice tests, I wanted to ask if you could share any recommendations alternatives strategies for approaching RC under these conditions?

If there are specific approaches you would suggest or resources that focus on RC strategy without those tools.

I am looking to get evaluated for an LSAT accommodation. Has anyone gone through the process and can recommend a provider?

Has anyone else looked at the recent data released on LSAT scores? There is something HIGHLY fishy going on with the increase in the top line... which happens to take place just after you are allowed to take the test remotely! cough cheating cough (didn't say it!)

Here are the facts:

The number of LSAT Applicant tests have increased by 30%

The LSAT Median (155-159) has increased similarly at 26% .. so far so good, normal distribution with added applicants.

The alarm shows up at the top end... an !!!!!! 85% !!!!! increase in (175-180) scorers. Nearly DOUBLING the top line.

My Thesis:

Any addition, or subtraction, from applicants STATISTICALLY SHOULD result in the same distribution range. We know LSAT has been very fair with creating a system for their two LRs and one RCs to keep an even playing field for all applicants. Even with the dropping of logic games, an ALMOST DOUBLING on the top line would be unheard of.

Anyone who has taken remote/online testing during college, knows about friend or two, that knows how to go around the Prometric system. Not that any of us here would do that of course. Could this also be LSAC blanket approving anyone with a doctors note for 1.5x time? Possibly. Could it be Prometric work arounds? possibly. Did we just get smarter applicants? Possibly.

But I will say one thing ... when there is smoke .. there is ...

I scored a 138 on my PT. I have not taken one in a long time. I've taken the LSAT twice, but that was years ago, and I have been studying nonstop. I've taken PT before, and they fluctuate, but they were spaced apart. Do I have to be consistent with PT in order for my scores to reflect?

This June test was my first-ever LSAT, and it was a horrible experience. I was constantly interrupted by proctors throughout the exam.

Right after Section 1 began, which was my only RC, the proctor told me she couldn't see my shoulders and asked me to adjust my camera. The timer was not paused. I adjusted the camera and was told everything looked fine. However, despite not changing the camera angle afterward, I kept getting interrupted during the section and was repeatedly told to adjust it again. Since I was using a laptop with a built-in camera, I eventually had to tilt my screen so much that it became uncomfortable to read.

I think I was interrupted at least five times during that first section. Then, during Passage 4, the proctor interrupted me again and said, "This is the last warning, please cooperate." That completely threw me off. I had been cooperating the entire time and was doing everything I was asked to do. At that point I was so stressed that I wanted to cry.

I adjusted the camera again and asked whether my shoulders were visible. The proctor responded, "No." I adjusted it again and asked once more, and she replied with just "." That interaction made me genuinely worried that I would be removed from the exam. I completely lost focus and feel like that RC section was ruined.

Sections 2 and 3 were somewhat better, but I was still interrupted multiple times. Before every section, I specifically asked the proctor whether my shoulders were visible and was told everything was fine. Yet a few minutes into the section, I would be told to tilt the camera further. Every time a new proctor took over, I seemed to get different instructions.

By Section 4, my screen was already tilted to an uncomfortable angle. The proctor had confirmed before the section that everything looked good, so I thought I was finally done with the interruptions. Then THE SAME PROCTOR who had repeatedly interrupted me during Section 1 came back (I remembered her name) and told me to tilt it even more. Just seeing her message pop up again was distracting because I was worried another interruption was coming. So my last section didn't really go well either.

After the exam, I checked my camera. It was showing my entire chest. I even returned it to the angle I had started with, and my shoulders were clearly visible.

I've spent the last two days agonizing over whether to request a retest. Today I submitted a complaint but decided not to retest. I've spent the last six months studying for this exam, and honestly, I just wanted a break. I'm scared about how much the interruptions affected my score because I feel like I completely lost my focus during my only RC section. At the same time, I don't even remember enough of the test to judge how I actually performed.

I'm not sure if I made the right decision not to retest... At this point, I'm just hoping I somehow did better than I think... If not I'll focus on August. I really wanted June to be my last LSAT, so that's really sad...

Hi everyone! I'm taking the August LSAT and am a splitter (my GPA is below the medians for all the schools I like because I started college as a pre-med major at a school notorious for grade deflation). I've plateaued at 164-166 for about 3 months now and I'd like advice from people who were able to break out of that.

Weaknesses:

Logical reasoning

1. Net effect/weighing factors (especially when co-tagged with causal reasoning)

2. similarly, Resolve/Reconcile/Explain

3. Hardest causal reasoning

4. Hardest conditional reasoning tags (especially when co-tagged with a lot of other things).

5. Hard/est strengthen or weaken

6. Hard/est link assumption

7. Hard/est most strongly/supported

Reading comprehension

1. Hard/est implied

2. Hardest author's perspective

3. Weaken/strengthen/evaluate

Behavioral issues

1. Answer-switching (from right to wrong)

2. Knowing which questions are hardest (and flagging them) but not answering them correctly.

Other helpful info about me:

• I take the LSAT with time and a half, and stop/start accommodations;

• On LR, I aim to leave 26.5 minutes for the last 10 questions. If it takes me longer than 90 seconds on the first pass to tackle a question, I come back to it. I only flag questions that I feel are really hard; I will note which questions I want to come back to on my scrap paper (that way when I'm reviewing before submitting a section, I know which specific questions to double check).

• On RC, I spend 13 mins an 15 seconds on each passage + questions. I read for scale, summarize the main idea of each passage very briefly in a passage map, underlline any theses/main points in the paragraphs, and highlight any indicators of perspective (authors, allies, or opponents).

If you've experienced the same issues and have any tips for how you resolved them, I'd be incredibly thankful! I can also clarify anything or give more detailed analytics if needed. Thank you again!

Hi everyone! Does anyone have advice for handling STEM-based reading comprehension passages?

I'm usually pretty good at reading comprehension, regardless of the topic, but for some reason, I really struggle with long STEM passages. It feels like my brain completely short-circuits, and no matter how hard I try, I can't absorb what I'm reading. I've tried slowing down, taking a break, and even reading aloud, but it doesn't help. I am still just staring at the page without understanding much of it.

I've never disliked science or had trouble understanding it at a basic level, so I'm not sure why these passages are giving me such a hard time.

I would really appreciate any advice or strategies that have helped others overcome this. Thank you!

Hi everyone... I am commenting on here to see if anyone has gone through this and what I should do. I took the LSAT today at a testing center and from the very beginning the test was not acting right. I would click the next arrow and it would go up 2 questions instead of one and then I would have to click the answer bubble like 5 times for it to go through and the same to cross answers off. I told the center at halfway and we talked and she reset my computer and said she will write a report but also when I sat back down my test was already 30 seconds into the second half and I really don't think I took that long or maybe it just took me a while to answer all of their questions but I just went to the bathroom super quick after explaining what was going on and when I got back the test already was going. In addition, the problems were still there the second half and it just really threw me off to where I don't think I did too great. So I have some questions,

1. I told them also that it was doing the same thing the second half and they said they would write a report but the person wasn't writing down any of the things I was saying so should I still submit a report as well?

2. If I write a report can I still see/use my score if it ends up being fine? I finished all the sections and I still gave it my all so if I have some luck maybe I still scored reasonably well (trying to be positive lol) :)

3. If I wrote a report what would be the likely output? Like would they maybe give me a free retest and would that be in August? Like I said this was my third test and I was REALLY hoping it would be my last so if I would have to wait all the way to August I don't even know if I want to do another 2 months of studying.

THANK YOU for any advice and if you took the June LSAT may you get a higher score than you hoped :)

I just took the June LSAT and this was my first time taking the LSAT for real. On all of my practice tests and sections, I have never ran out of time and have always had sufficient time to check over flagged answers. On the real LSAT I absolutely ran out of time and ended up having to do some LR questions really quickly without feeling confident, nor was I able to look over any of my flagged answer choices. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience where they were fine on time in practice but bad during the exam itself.

I'm kind of freaking out about it and right now I'm convinced I just failed the LSAT. I did not originally purchase the score preview, but now I am seriously considering getting it, does anyone have experience using the preview?

Hello 7sagers. So.........now that this June LSAT is done....now what? I have taken about 3 days off and I am already itching to start studying again (I am SO bored and the LSAT is my main stimulant.) However, I did put about 5 months of drilling into this LSAT and I will only have 3 months for the September LSAT from now. I do have an idea of what I'll need to study for this next "season" of studying but, I'm not too sure how to approach it. Should I go over the core lessons again, should I just pick up where I left off, or is there another approach? Thanks in advance for any guidance that anyone can provide me.
