Hi there. IMO, deciding to cancel depends largely on (1) your goal score relative to your average scores; (2) when you need/want to start law school; (3) your responsibilities outside of learning the LSAT.

Going from an average of 160 to 140 is a significant drop but not unheard of. You may be experiencing a bit of burn out. Make sure to give your mind and body rest from the LSAT.

Honestly, you can't learn much more from now until Friday (I assume that's the day of the exam). If you're going to take it Friday, I highly suggest you just take 1 PT on Wednesday, review it carefully, take Thursday off, and take the real thing Friday. However, rescheduling would depend on the factors above. You can PM me if you want to chat.

Hi everyone. Sorry that I haven't replied to any messages or comments since I began law school. It has been a very busy last 2 years.

I wanted to revisit this forum because I really appreciated the community here at 7sage. It is crazy to realize that I start 3L about 2 weeks. If anyone is interested to know how my "journey" has been since I finished the LSAT, please reach out some way and I would be happy to share my law school experience. Please provide any questions you may have. I want to continue to motivate and give back to this community because I would not be where I am today without 7Sage. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for all the comments and kind words, really bringing tears to my eyes!

If anyone has questions please DM me so it's a little easier for us to communicate!

This is really nice to hear! I'm currently stuck at a 150 and felt like I would never improve but your post gave me some motivation! So for the first half of your PT's did you take them untimed?

Hey, please message me and I can try to help you!

How complete or incomplete are each of these courses? Since you are still adding videos to certain sections, I'm wondering if the videos that are currently available (purchased version) are sufficient to help a 1L with their 1L year.

Thanks 7sage!

Bryce, if you can get a 3.5 gpa in undergrad, I'm pretty confident that you can score a 160-165 with about 4 months of full time studying. You have a good gpa, don't waste that, and definitely don't give up on law school because of a low LSAT. It's a 100% learnable exam.

yo tf was that last game? was it EDIT I could not even deduce.

oh well.

If you have time after a LG section and you're missing a few on silly errors, then I'd advise you to take that extra time and eliminate more A/Cs - especially on the questions that were tough for you. I did this, and I started going -1 to -0 more often!

@gaeliverson3670 thanks for your note, will do. wakanda forever.

@jsolomon759602 the consensus seems to be reading for structure > reading for details. I think my issue is lack of practice and trying to learn everything the author is saying. Sometimes I forget to actively read (especially during timed constraints). I'll consider your advice, thanks so much for your note!

@21588 I don't, sorry bud, i didn't use any tutors. I do know that @danielbrowning20836 has awesome study sessions that she offers. I haven't joined any yet, but I hope to before my exam in 2 months.

@jonguy569 I really like this, I'm going to try it during my practice and get back to you in PMs! thanks for your advice, brother.

I think it's definitely possible. I would say 160-165 is possible even in just a month of you are 1) full time (20-30 hours of week of studying), and studying the right way. The bulk of those 4 months will likely be trying to escape the dreaded 165 into the 170s.

Especially if you're getting a tutor, I think it's very possible. Having someone by your side and teaching you how to attack certain questions/sections is very valuable.

Good luck and you got this :)

I would only retake a 172 if you have mastered games. I'd run with the 172! Congrats, super impressive, and you'll do great!

Reach out whenever, I'm not a tutor but i've been on 7sage and had a lot of success from it. Happy to talk over discord or phone.

I'm leaning towards delaying. I'd like to be at a 165 but I'm barely scraping 160, which means if I took the text next week I could get a 160, but I also could have a bad test and be in the 150's. For me, a late 160-165, is better than an on time 155. Especially if you're gonna retake anyway.

Consider postponing and dont feel bad about it. $200 is a lot, but the extra points you could receive because you're better prepared could get you scholarship that would pay you back 10 times over.

I score from -1 to -4 depending if there's a MISC game or not.

But to address your question, I think it's really important to check all the A/C'cs, if it wouldn't eat up more than 30 seconds or so. Some A/C's can be knocked out super quick, and in that case, I would check A/C's.

The reason is because you don't want to give up a point just because you're lazy. Consider this:

Speed on LG comes from knowing how to attack most games and doing it the most efficient way, so that you have the time to check each A/C. If you know how to do each type of game fast and the right way, you should have more than enough time to consider all the A/C's (on most questions)

Learn how to master game boards, game types; learn how to attack each question type the RIGHT way, and you'll find that you will have the luxury to check the A/C for most question types.

Going from 155 untimed to 165 TIMED would be really hard. I don't think it's impossible, but it is unlikely. I'd argue that your untimed score would/should be in the 170s if you want a 165 timed score.

With 2 months until the Jan exam, my guesstimation is that you could probably hit 160 timed, but even this would take some hard work. If you want to hit 165 timed, i'd suggest extending until March.

heads up, I am having issues making problem sets in LR. LG seems to be fine. (both Microsoft edge and Chrome)

This is unfortunate. Those free youtube explanations were exactly what lead me to being an Ultimate + member on this life-changing website. Shame shame shame. Thanks for letting us know JY.
