Hey All,

I've been studying for over a year now, and have quite literally seen zero BR improvement in the last 6-7 months. Currently BRing in between 170-172. I hardly go above or below these numbers. Any and all advice would be much appreciated!

Hi guys! Looking for several LSAT buddies to study with, specifically targeting the LR section, for the August 2022 test date! My goal is a 172 and currently scoring in the mid and high 160s!

Nothing fancy tho, I just created a secondary account where I'll mostly post about my daily study progress. Will be using Flow app + PDF schedulers to keep track of my daily improvements. Plus some motivational quotes here and there to keep the spirits high. I'd love it if we interacted with each other from time to time. What do you think? I'll send you my IG handle if anyone's interested.

Backstory is I'm applying for my second year, I have a 160 on the books but applied way too late so I'm taking another shot in August before I put in applications in the 22 cycle.

I consistently test out at 165, looking to work on my endurance for RC and LR but I haven't done any LG in a few months. If others are is in a similar setting then let's get a study group off the ground.

Hey guys! I am looking to surround myself with people that share my interest for this test. If you have a spot in a pre-existing study group, or are yourself looking for a study partner, please send me a message. We can help and support each other and review sections together on discord. Lately I've been drilling LG and I'm currently PTing in the mid-150s. Hit me up!

My friend and I are planning on maybe meeting once or twice a week in person to study together. I am wondering what you would think is the best way to go about the studying. Should we watch the videos ourselves, and then when we meet, we go over practice questions relating to that specific section? Should we separately do the practice questions then discuss our answers? Should we do each one together and bounce ideas around? Should we do something else with our time that may be more efficient? I'd love to hear what you are doing or what you have done. Hope everyone is welI. Thanks :)

I would like to offer help to people who are struggling or just getting started with LR over zoom or discord. My last 6 PTs averaged at 170, and I usually score around 0/-2 for LR. I am planning on taking the Sep or Oct lsat and I'm still trying to increase my score- so I am hoping that by helping others, I can also improve.

I have very open availability, so let me know if you are interested!

So i'm not the BEST at this test! In fact, i'm taking the June test in 3 weeks. But! i consistently PT in the mid 160s, and I figured that something like this would help me understand my thought process if I have someone to explain it to (maybe enough to reach my goal of 170!). Hit me up even if you just started studying as it always helpful to go over the basics. I get -0 in LG, -3 to -5 in LR and -4 to -7 in RC. In blind review I always hit 170.

Please DM me for those interested! I still have availability open.

I was looking for a group to join and I'm having a hard time finding one. I was hoping to make a group where we can help and support each other. I am taking the LSAT for the first time. I'm quite nervous and it would be helpful to be in a group with other people to help and study with! Please let me know ASAP if anyone is interested so we can get started!

I'm looking to start a study/accountability/support group for the October and November 2022 LSATs! Please just leave a comment if you're interested and I'll start putting the group together.

EDIT: If you're interested in joining this group, please just direct message me your number and I'll send you the link to our GroupMe!

Hello everyone, I'm putting together a study group for the June/August 2022 exams!

I've personally scored a 172 on the official February exam, and now I'm shooting for 175+! People from all levels and scores are welcome though.

I am thinking of going through a PT a weeek, and reviewing it together. We could of course do more than that, for example, individual sections and more.

I want to have a server with a sense of community, where it isn't just about doing that one PT a week. We will also have channels for help in different sections of the LSAT, and for just chatting. I personally enjoy explaining things to others, which helps me solidify my own understanding.

As mentioned in the title, a good friend of mine, who is a tutor with an official 178 will be on the server. He'll be available for advice and to answer LSAT questions.

Drop a comment if you're interested, and I'll send you the invite link!!

Edit: Wow this got a lot more attention than I expected! Thanks a lot to everyone who joined or showed interest! We're now at 75 people, and the server is full. More than 75 would have been an unmanageable number, since we want to meet every week (though probably not everyone will participate). My apologies to anyone who wanted to join, but couldn't. We'll invite more people after the June test, since many will leave after that. Thanks again everyone, and I wish you the very best in your LSAT journey!

Hi there!

My name is Jaganath, and I've been studying off and on with 7sage for four years. I am a non-traditional student: I'm 34.

I have 71% of the core material finished (on the 3rd problem set for In/Out games), and I would like to habituate better study rituals and have someone(s) to discuss things with regularly. I have booked a free consultation with 7Sage for Tutoring on Saturday, and I foresee myself utilizing a tutor up until I sit for the exam.

My main goal is to create a support system of 7Sagers who are committed to following through with the exam and getting into Law School.

Hey! Another 7Sager and I are starting an in-person study group that would meet in Berkeley, CA (on campus or elsewhere) to keep each other accountable, discuss strategies and problems, and such. Hoping to take the LSAT in August! Join us if you're motivated or need motivation :)

We will continue to use RingCentral, though I am still not really sure what the deal is with its apparently-absent waiting room functionality. So I'll probably just put the link up ~15 minutes early and let people filter in. Feel free to chat amongst yourselves in the meantime! Face cameras are gently encouraged - it's a lot easier to have a conversation that way.

=============

Hi everyone! I decided it would be cool to run some office hours and help some folks out. I've done a few of these in the past and it's always been fun to talk shop with people. Think of it as a drop in/drop out study group, open to all.

Limiting this to 7Sage for now because it's easier to get things done if everyone has a common basis in terms of vocabulary, how you learn the theory, etc. and after a decade of using 7Sage I know the curriculum like the back of my hand.

Who Am I/Why Should You Listen To Me?

I scored 175 on the September 2006 LSAT (-4 RC, -2 LR, -0 LG), graduated from Columbia Law School in 2010, spent a year on fellowship with a judge in Bronx Supreme Court Criminal Division while teaching LSAT on the side, and have been teaching the LSAT full time since September 2011. I worked with JY on PreProBono and in the early years of 7Sage, was a 7Sage "Approved Tutor" for the entire life of that categorization, and am the only person other than JY himself who has ever had an instructional video published on 7Sage's live site. I am also the lead LSAT tutor and department chair of a local NYC-based test prep boutique. Some of my writing still resides in the "Sage Advice" section of this forum, so go check it out if you're interested .

Over the past decade-plus, I have amassed over 8,000 hours of combined classroom-based and one-on-one LSAT teaching experience, working with a diverse set of students from across the USA and all around the world - Canada, Brazil, Netherlands, England, France, Qatar, Korea, and China just to name a few. The best score increase I've ever achieved with a student is +36 (136 -> 172).

If you listen to the 7Sage Podcast, you may have heard my name mentioned in episode #67 - Vanessa (138 -> 169) was my student.

How Can I Join?

I'll put up a video chat link above when the time comes, and take it down when we're done.

When Will These Be Happening?

I currently intend for this to be a weekly thing, but the timing will vary depending on the other moving pieces of my schedule. It's not likely that every time will work for everyone, but I will at least attempt to switch it up so that anyone interested can make it at least some of the time. I currently live in New York, but I am a born and raised Californian so I understand the tyranny of Eastern Time very well, so don't worry West Coasters - I'm thinking of you guys too.

What Can I Ask?

Anything is fair game for now - general theory questions, questions about individual questions, macro questions about how to study/trajectory, questions about what hair products I use, etc. Feel free to DM me questions in advance as well. I can't promise I will get to all of them (don't take it personally!), but I will certainly do my best.

I am currently unsure how to handle the whole 'spoilers' issue (for example, a student has a question on PT60 S1 Q1, which another person hasn't gotten to yet), but I think that shouldn't stop me from just getting started. We might just have to tell some folks to deafen themselves temporarily if they don't want to get spoiled for now. In the future I may limit discussion in a specific session to a specific range of PrepTests or curriculum-only, or choose a specific topic to address in depth, or whatever else comes to mind to avoid this issue, but I still have to feel that out organically. Suggestions welcome.

Will This Be Recorded/Uploaded Somewhere?

No plans for recording at this time.

What Will This Cost Me?

Nothing but your time. Happy to help.

What If I Have Another Question?

Fire away! In this thread or in DM.
