I was looking at the difference between version 1 and version 2 of the curriculum. Both versions look very different in terms of how LR and reading comp is studied. Should I use version 2 to study? I have been using version 1 to study so far.
Congratulations!! As a first gen latina myself, it's been hard working towards the score I want. I scored a 138 on my very first diagnostic, and I'm also studying after work and schoolwork (I work at a law firm also LOL). Your story is inspiring, and thank you for sharing. I hope you get all the scholarship money you're looking for!! (3(/p)
I took it online in April of 2023. I did not have any problems with the proctoring system, but I would recommend taking it in person if you cannot guarantee that there will not be background noise. I would hate for them to cancel your score because of background noise, so I just wouldn't risk it. When I took mine online, I had to move EVERYTHING off of the desk in my room, and they had me remove whatever I had on the walls in front of me. Where you decide to take the exam will have no impact on your admissions when it comes time to apply in terms of advantage/disadvantage.
@ yes, even if you take it at a testing center, it will still be on a computer. I do not know the specifics of how the procedure is, but I do know that
I agree with @ . It is fun to see the creative usernames people come up with.
Commenting because I'm also curious
I WILL SCORE A 175+!!!!
@ I definitely needed to hear this, thank you :,)
For any W or S questions, can we also place the answers on a spectrum of support? Since we are looking for the answer which best weakens or strengthens that question?
Hey chat, just here to vent.
I'm just feeling discouraged. I feel like my brain is not making the connections needed. I know its a learning curve, but this learning curve is effing steep. I work a 8-5 and alongside from going to the gym, college and personal responsibilities, I tend to study for an 1hr - hour and a half a day for what is usually 4-6 days a week.
I took it for the first time in April of 2023 and got a 143 on the first exam (I only gave myself 2 months to study back then... a bit delusional on my end). I procrastinated and was doing studying on and off until I started to be consistent in September of this year. I feel like mentally I have gotten nowhere for the exam (besides having MC & a bit of MSS questions down).
I know this exam isn't impossible to learn and I can do it, but I just feel like the consistency I put in isn't giving me the results I'm seeking. It might just be mental exhaustion on my end since I only have time to study after 8 or 9pm. How does anyone else deal with discouragement from the LSAT? I plan to apply next cycle and I pushed my test date from February to April earlier this week (maybe that's also feeding into the discouragement? lol).
Any advice is appreciated (3(/p)
took me 4 minutes to complete this one BUT A WIN IS A WIN
Everytime i talk myself out of the right answer it makes me want to scream into my pillow
I have been using the 7Sage course since August to study for the LSAT, and I am scheduled to take the exam in April. I wanted to know what other's study plan typically looks like? Just need some inspiration on how often I should be taking PT and drilling. I am still not completely done with the curriculum, but any advice is greatly appreciated
Do the syllabus in order. It is set up in which you are building the foundation as you go, which makes the information easier to understand on first glance
commenting because I would like to know the answer also.
I have been feeling the same way as well! I originally intended to take in February, but back in November I decided to move it to April and now I'm considering pushing it to June. It's been hard not to feel discouraged. You have to remember to keep on pushing yourself and LOCK IN. It's so hard at times to not feel discouraged but its also ok to feel discouraged! We are human and it's a natural response. Taking a small break (maybe a couple days), watching or listening to encouraging videos and podcasts, or listening to music which hypes you up are great ways. I like to watch YouTube videos of other law or pre-law students who talk about their path to law school. It helps me think to myself "if they could do it, I can do it too". You can also take the time to briefly review your notes or previous lessons as refreshers too. It's hard but not impossible!! You can do this!!
you could read more dense articles or books outside of studying, focusing on topics you don't like and understand

I love listening to Watch Me Shine by Joanna Pacitti. It was the song made for the Legally Blonde movie, so listening to it channels my inner Elle Woods!!
Another 7Sage W with this chart
I actually just got the book yesterday LOL. How has the book helped you? I intend to use the book and 7Sage but wanted to know if it helped you make better connections in how you should approach questions and has helped you in your progress overall :)
2/5 on easy.... this section is going to be the death of me
everyday these LSAT questions make me question my life choices
bad idea. you could identify the "experimental" section as one of the sections which are actually scored
If you're taking the test remotely, you will need to show your proctor a scan of the room. You do not see the proctor, but they see you. You will not see any other students (assuming you will be taking the exam at home). I believe you can monitor the time left with a timer. LSAC probably has a page where they discuss what you can expect on test day, incase you want further information. Good luck!
took my time on this one and got a 4/5 on easy! feels good considering I've been struggling through this section :,)
Happy New Year everyone! May your year be filled with no LSAT tears and lots of high PT & Test day scores :) (the tears may be inevitable but its the thought that counts haha)
Congrats on the improvement!!! 🥳
