I'm registered for January but I might cancel because I've invested over a year on my life in this LSAT to study to settle for anything less than 170. My PTs are very inconsistent; the last 3 have been 171, 154 (I damn near died) and 169. Reading comp. and LR are my issue. I can do any game you put in front of me in my sleep.

I've switched study habits and training for skill (the overkill route lol)- I can spend a good hour doing 5 questions. I'm looking for a few people who are willing to commit and ride through with me until test day. Please, only consider if you're able to devote the time.

I am not kidding. I am looking for maxiumum 3 other people who know they have the ability to reach 180 like me and will stop at nothing to reach it (or very close). I want to be hitting 177+ consistently on PTs before I even think about registering.

Group will be mainly extremely detailed and in-depth LR discussion and review and some RC too. Review 2 LR + 1 RC section/week although for this score range obviously we will probably only be looking at the most difficult questions. I spent an entire 35 minutes by myself on one LR problem today, but again, these questions are the ones that the 75% correct bar stops at 180. For people in this range I feel the time would be wasted talking about too many lower difficulty questions. I'm on pacific time.

Hi everyone! My diagnostic was a 149 and I'm at 158/159 after 2 months of really light and minimal studying but I've been hitting a plateau the last 2 tests. My goal is a 164-166 range (but obviously higher is great). I'm not planning on taking the test until April or summer so I know I'm ahead, but with a full time job this is easier. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone who is in the mid to high 150s and whose goal is mid to high 160s wants to start a study group! Idc when you plan to take the test! I'm also open to suggestions on how to best execute this like meeting virtually or just chatting, etc. If you're interested leave an email in the comments. Hope to hear from some of you :)

So I just received my university diploma in the mail and now that we are in lockdown again I have decided to start studying for the LSAT. I have never been set on law school but it has always been an idea I've toyed with. I feel like right now it is especially hard to make any long term decisions but I want to be working towards something.

Anyways, I have started the 7 Sage program, have never done a practice LSAT and am completely new to all of this. I really want to write the LSAT sometime next year I am just finding this all a little overwhelming. I am seeing a lot of people start study groups online here but are all way more advanced than me!

If anyone is in the same boat or is sharing similar sentiments and wants to encourage each other! Let me know!

Hi guys, is anyone interested in being study partners for the Jan LSAT? I took the November LSAT and got a 168 (was PTing a lot higher but oh well I'll try again!). I'm a bit rusty because I haven't studied in a while but am confident I can pull this off in Jan. I'm thinking of doing BR calls/ discussions and sharing strategies and schedules just to stay motivated, because I've been having a hard time getting back into studying and I think this is a really helpful way to stay on track

Also - I'm usually on the east coast but am currently staying with family in Asia right now (and doing the Asia LSAT flex in Jan), but can be flexible with time zones!! My time zone is 10 hours and 30 mins ahead of eastern time

Let me know. Good luck!

Hello everyone,

I am Poornima. I am studying law in my home country (India). I am interested in giving LSAT and study JD in US as well as get settled there.

It's my first week on 7 sage. I am following the study schedules consistently. I am interested in giving LSAT in or after May, 21. I am aiming a high score. 170 and above.

Is there any good /inspiring words for a beginner? Any do's/don'ts etc rhat I should follow as a beginner? Any words of wisdom from scholars of LSAT?

I will be glad to get guided.

Thank you

If DJ Khaled were on the 7Sage forums, he'd look at this post and say...

All jokes aside, I'm looking to form a small study group for the Jan LSAT. No score requirement, I think it would actually be useful to have a mix (people with higher scores can reinforce what the learn by helping lower scorers). Personally, my average is now around a 172 (highest was a 176). Anyone is welcome to inquire (through DMs, please) as long as you can meet after 6:30PM EST on one or more weekday. I'd like to start out with 6 people max but may expand. Preferably, I'd like to use FaceTime for these meetings but could do Google Meet as well.

Hi y'all, I know this is potentially insane but I recently began studying for the LSAT in mid-January. I have a tutor for a couple hours a week, and do a lot better when I can talk through problems with other people. Is anyone interested in a study group/partnership to hold each other accountable? Also, ISO tips from anyone else who has studied for the LSAT in one month! Feel free to link study sessions below as well, I'm sifting through these resources now to find ones that align with what I'm looking for but don't want to miss anything!

Hi! Whoever is looking for a study group or a study partner, let me know if you're interested! I'll be taking the February LSAT. I'm averaging in the 150's right now. Some days are good, and some are bad lol. So I definitely want to be confident in only having good days

Hi, I hosted a group session last week where we went over Formal Logic in the LSAT, a new way to approach LR, and a full LR section! Thank you to everyone that showed up :)

I'm going to be hosting weekly group sessions (at least for the month of December), so this week, I hope to see you on 12/9 Wed 10PM EST. It should go on for around 1-1.5hrs, or so, and I'm going to be covering, roughly, the following topics:

  • Logic Games: A Systematic Approach

  • Taking Blind Review (and review in general!) a step further

    • Afterwards, I'll be going through an entire LR section, taking questions, and talking through my approach. If you want to follow along, please have PT21 S2 in hand.

    Join the following zoom link @noon/12pm GMT+9, or 10PM EST!

    Hi everyone!

    So, I am a re-taker, but have taken a few years away from the LSAT. I took it twice (little studying for the second attempt) and received a 154 both times. I'm shooting for the upper 160s-170s and would love an accountability/study buddy to keep each other accountable. I work full-time though completely remote thanks to COVID, but find most study time during the evening and/or on the weekends. If you're looking for something similar let me know!

    Best of luck to everyone!

    My PT average is roughly 168 over my past 7 PT's. I scored a 166 on the Nov flex and am aiming for 172+ on the January flex.

    I usually do pretty well on LG/LR (-0 to -3) and around -5 to -8 on RC. I'd like to find a partner who's stronger on the RC side of things with similar scores otherwise.

    I have most of my 60's to 80's left and will be doing 2 PT's a week from this range for the next 2-3weeks followed by 3 PT's a week thereafter until the Jan flex. I'd like to find a partner to compare BR's with via zoom or something for each PT if possible.

    I made a similar post and didn't follow up about a two weeks ago with a lot of people because I took a hiatus in studying, but I promise I'll reach out this time!

    Cheers

    Hi all!

    I'm new to 7sage, but am so excited to learn more from all of you. For some reference, I scored a 146 on the November LSAT after studying using Kaplan for three months prior. I am determined to get at least a 157-163, but I feel like to really get that I would need some study buddies. If you too are in the same LSAT range and are planning to take the February LSAT and want to form a group, please reach out and let me know! I feel like studying for this test is more bearable in a group.

    NOTE: This thread will be constantly edited to contain upcoming tutoring sessions.

    Hello 7sagers!

    During this session, we'll be going over how to approach SA and PSA questions using the J07 PT. Hope to see you there!

    A few additional things I want to mention so we can all get the most out of the session:

    Please refrain from looking at the correct answer choices when we are going through problems. It is to your benefit to be unaware so you can learn about the process!

    Please make sure your microphone is on mute during the session, unless you are the person volunteering to help answer a question.

    I will be asking for volunteers throughout the session. If you would like to volunteer, please type it in the chat box. Please volunteer! I promise I don't bite, and you can only come out of it with learning something new.

    The session will last around two hours, questions unrelated to the topic at hand should be saved until the end.

    If you learned something helpful, all I ask for payment is that you share the knowledge with others that could be struggling. After all, we rise by lifting others up. :smile:

    Let me know if ya'll have any questions. Hope to see you there!

    Hi everyone!

    I am excited to say that I will be leading BR Calls for PT76 with the next session on Friday, December 18th at 6PM EST

    We will be focusing on the second LR section of this PT (Section 4).

    In the process of going through the blind review I hope to touch on good test-taking strategy, good reading habits, differentiating attractive answer choices, and more. Hopefully there will be something useful for everyone here!

    The link is posted below!

    Also, here are a few housekeeping matters about the session:

    A. Unfortunately, due to LSAC policy, I will not be able to share my screen with the test questions up. So to get the most out of the session, I recommend having your own copy of the PT, regardless if it is digital or paper.

    B. Please do not go over the answers on your own before our session, since the more that we can work through the reasoning as a group, the more we will learn together.

    C. Although I encourage participation and will be asking for volunteers both to read the passages and answer questions, please have your microphone on mute if you are not being called upon and also try to be in a reasonably quiet place if possible.

    D. I plan to keep this thread going and will add dates for future sessions at the bottom as I finalize the dates. I will update the title to reflect the session date that is soonest!

    Next Session: PT76 Logical Reasoning (Session 4)

    Additional Sessions: TBA

    I look forward to seeing all of you soon! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

    Are there any other working moms out there who are studying for the LSAT? I truly hope I am not the only one!

    I wanted to make a groupme where working moms can support each other through the process of going through the core curriculum and preparing for the LSAT.

    Message me if you want to join the groupme. I truly hope I am not alone in this seemingly crazy, impossible pursuit!

    Thank you all! Good luck to you with your studies!

    Hi 7sagers!

    In this session we will be covering basically anything LSAT related you want! Just bring your questions and I'll (hopefully) have answers! Feel free to bring a specific LR, RC, or LG question and we'll go over them together. Or we can just talk about section strategy. Whatever you want to do!

    I have gone through the 7sage CC twice, taken over 90% of the PTs out there, and scored a 173 on the November LSAT. My diagnostic was a 138. I've struggled immensely with this test, and I can show you how I overcame these obstacles.

    In this session, we'll cover topics on:

    -Whatever you want!

    A few additional things I want to mention so we can all get the most out of the session:

    Please refrain from looking at the correct answer choices when we are going through problems. It is to your benefit to be unaware so you can learn!

    I've been studying for the past 10 months and have improved from a 145 to a 157. Upon finishing the core curriculum, I began taking PTs and blind reviewed as JY suggests. My issue is that I consistently score in the high 150s timed but also consistently score in the high 170 in BR. My biggest challenge by far is time management, which seems to mess up my flow and cause me to make significantly more unenforced errors. While working full-time at a law firm in NYC, I usually study 20 hours a week and take one PT every weekend. I hope to break into the 160 in the next few weeks.

    If you are interested in joining a study group please DM me/comment below. If you are tutor or just want to reinforce the concepts you have learned by teaching them to someone else, please feel free to DM me. If you have experience as a tutor and also have successfully helped someone achieve a 170+, I would be open to paying for tutoring. Recommendations for tutors also welcome!
