Hi there! I've now completed my three day pity party from my sad sad score on the November LSAT. Like some of you, I underperformed and got a low 150s score where I had been PTing in the low 160s. My goal is a 165. I'm strong in LG and need improvement in LR and I'm okay in RC.

I've been popping around different forums but decided to take the reins and form my own small group of folks (likely no more than about 10-12) who are testing in January. I would love a mix of folks who are PTing from anywhere in the 150s to the low 170s ( I'm really interested in our collective ability to both help one another learn and also teach/reflect back). I'd love to meet a minimum of twice a week (and we can discuss later how we want to structure).

Y'all, I want to start asap next week. We got seven weeks and I feel that we can all make the gains we desire - I know that I just need some help. My background is in producing and casting for the theater, so this will be a highly organized endeavor lol, and my priority is always ensuring effective communication. I'd like to move fairly quickly, so if you are interested, please DIRECT MESSAGE me, with the following information:

(1) Email

(2) Timezone

(3) General weekly availability

(4) Goal score

(5) Strongest section:

(6) Section that needs most improvement:

(7) Favorite show that you are bingewatching now (I'm bingewatching a lot of anime!)

Once the group is set, I'll be sure to come back to this post and let folks know. Thank you in advance for reading and I look forward to working with you!

Hi 7sagers!

In this session we will be covering LR Skipping Strategy. It will be Saturday, November 28th at 7pm EST.

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:

-Why skipping is so important yet extremely counterintuitive.

For this session, please complete a timed section of PT40 LR1, and bring the timing breakdown with you. We'll be discussing how to best go about attempting the section under timed conditions and what section strategies you could've implemented to increase your score. Because of LSAT copyright licensing, I can't share my screen for this PT, so please have your own copy!

Note: This session will be most helpful for students who have completed the core curriculum and are on the PT phase of their LSAT studies. This session is not geared towards students who are still on the core curriculum.

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!

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.

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!

Chris Nguyen is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Hello! I am creating a study group for anyone who is interested and who is currently scoring low to mid 160’s looking to end up 170+ — group would be used to share tips on strategy as well as having others in the same range who may be able to shed light on right vs. wrong answers / diff perspectives!

Hi guys!

Reading Comprehension is the bane of my existence. Ugh. I just got really complacent - my diagnostic RC section was my highest, so I thought to myself: I mostly need to spend time on LR and LG. Totally overlooked improving RC and now here I am...

Thankfully, I've made huge gains on both LR and LG compared to when I first started studying, and I generally average -4 LR and -3 LG (-0 BR). Right now, I'm averaging around -7 on RC, but on a bad day that could be -10, on a good day -4. I really need to reduce that range.

I'm looking for those in the same boat (good LR/LG, weakest RC) so that maybe we could help keep each other accountable (we know how dreadful studying for RC is) and share tactics/strategy skills and boost morale. Looking to form an inclusive and welcoming group hyper-focused on improving RC. If anyone's interested and taking the Jan 2021 exam, please comment below or PM me! Thinking of doing Zoom sessions, maybe twice a week, and also focusing on the newer PTs i.e. 60-80s.

P.S. Plz only join if you intend to come to sessions focusing on RC!

Title says it all. Would love to work // BR together. Preferrably zoom sessions.

Hey, just got my score preview which was pretty depressing (141) but not that surprising seeing as my highest practice test had been 148. I work full time and am aiming for the 150s. Would love to have a motivational partner /study buddy to talk things through with and keep each other going. May take the January or may wait longer and apply for next application cycle. Let me know if you’re interested!

I bombed the Nov. LSAT and I'm about to register for the January test. I've not used 7Sage before, so I'm looking for people to cram with over the next month and a half. I mean like daily prep once I get off work. I was scoring in the mid 160's and even low 170's a few times, but my score didn't reflect it at all.

Lets knock this test out of the park dude!

I'm looking for a small group of people who can meet on 1-3 weekday mornings a week. I was thinking 9am-11am ET with the goal of going over a PT once a week and then maybe just having accountability the other days. I am currently at a low 160 and my goal is 165+. I'd prefer people with similar current/target scores. I'm strong at LR and RC but am really struggling on LG.

Hello everyone!

I'm a mid 170s scorer and I learn best by teaching others. I'd love to tutor people who are interested in learning as a group. These are free!! I'm using this to study!

I am on Japan time, so you might have to deal with mostly early morning (before 10am) or occasional late night. But I think I can give some benefits in exchange for the inconvenience.

Let me know if you're interested!

Hi all,

I got a 170 on the Nov. Flex, and am looking to re-take in Jan! I'm creating a 3-4 person study group, and if there's anyone that's scoring in the 170s or high 160s, please leave e-mail address below!

I bombed the Aug-Sept LSAT and I'm register for the January test. I've using 7Sage, along with Mike Kim's book, Kaplan, and free tutoring from varies sites. I'm looking for people who can help work and understand together. I mean like daily prep during the weekdays since I work during the weekends. I was scoring in the mid 150s to low 160s a few times, but my score and understanding isn't where I wanted to be.

Is there anyone who’s scoring between high 150’s and low 160’s that would like to meet up weekly to BR prep tests? My goal is to consistently score in the high 160’s and get in the 170’s by then!

Looking for a study buddy to share this journey with :).

Looking for someone to meet with ~twice a week online to go over LR sections and discuss tough LR questions.

Ideally, we could do some of the same sections throughout the week and talk through the harder problems.

LR is currently my weakest section, I'm around -8 to -5. But I'm planning to focus mostly on this section and will be shooting for that -0 on game day.

Hi 7sagers!

For this session, we are having a guest speaker! @DINOSAUR is a 7sager with PTs averaging in the 170s. English was her foreign language. We have been study buddies for a few months now, and her strategies and approach has helped me immensely in understanding the LSAT - she's amazing! We are going to discuss her struggles, strategies, and advice to approach this test as a student who grew up speaking a foreign language. Although this webinar is geared more towards ESL students, I think it will be helpful for all students to attend (the LSAT is a foreign language to everyone, let's be real).

We'll be going over a passage from the June 2007 PT to see how she approaches the passage and how she learned to read complex grammar and hard sentences. It will be Friday, November 20th at 7pm EST. Please comment below if you're interested!

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

Greetings,

I am seeking a serious study partner for the January LSAT. I know there have been several posts about study buddy, however as a high school teacher, I understand that certain peoples learning styles do not correspond with others. So I would like to give a little background about myself, as well as how I study, so I can find a compatible partner. I have been studying for the LSAT for a year and a half now, on and off in the beginning, however rigorously since February. I initially took the LSAT in January and scored a 149 (pathetic, trust me, i know). I decided to purchase 7 Sage afterwards and really commit to this test (best decision I made). I have completed the CC curriculum, take every practice set for LR problems (yes I know there are over 20 problem sets for flaw and I have done them all), read Loophole by Ellen Cassidy, and taken over 30 PT's. I misused a lot of the PT's in the beginning by using the 80's for drilling since my rational was to take the March LSAT, however I severely underestimated this test in the beginning stages of my studies. I work FT as a high school teacher, however I still study approximately 5-6 hours per day (3 hrs in the morning and 3 hours after work, plus Saturday and Sunday). I approach this test in a very methodical way and follow the CC to a T. I ALWAYS am trying to understand the central logic of the stimulus and right/wrong answer choices. For example, I once spent over an hour on a really tough necessary assumption because I did not understand it and I was too stubborn to move on without fully grasping the reasoning behind the answer. The reason I mention this is because I know there are a lot of people out there who have skimmed through the CC or completed some of the problem sets, using mainly their intuition when approaching questions. If that is your style, great, however we will not get the most out of each other, and it's probably best you find someone who thinks/rationalizes the way you do. I would like to meet at least 2 times per week to BR LR and RC. We can choose PT's to take on our own and then come together to BR the answers and bounce ideas/concepts off one another. Also, this is very important, I would like to focus STRICTLY on LR and RC. I have masted LG already and I do not want to waste time on that section. Plus, I have learned that the foolproof method is better than any expensive tutor or study partner.

If you think you we would be a compatible match for the next 2 months, please send me a message and include a little history about your experience with he LSAT.

Score averages-

LR -2/-4

LG -0/-1

RC -6/-10

Thanks,

Z

Hi all! I'm currently part of a larger group for studying, and while it's amazing to see so many people working together, the group has become too big for effective communication. I'm looking to start a small, 10-person group for the January test. I'm thinking of mimicking others and doing weekly practice tests with one day devoted to reviewing problem areas/blind review - so essentially meeting twice a week. I personally work full-time so the group would meet in the evenings. If anyone is interested and able to commit #AccountabilityBuddies, please write your email below and I can send follow up!

Need a study group to keep accountability, I am currently available every day during the morning and afternoon

Hey guys,

So like most of you, I just did the Nov flex and I have to say.... LG killed me. I usually score really well on LG so that left me feeling confident that I will have to take the Jan lsat to get my goal score.

Is there anyone who wants to make a study group, or knows of any study groups on discord or etc where we can help each other?

THANK YOU in advance :)

Hi!

For reference, I'm currently scoring around 168-171. I've scored 176 once (I've only taken 11 PT's). Please have similar scores!

I'd like to find a serious study partner for the January LSAT. Ideally this would consist of taking 2-3 PT's per week and blind reviewing them separately, then coming together to compare our BR (though, I'm open to suggestions on doing other things). Preferably have enough PT's left so that we're not too restricted in our choices.

This would serve for accountability as well as the fact that I've heard BRing with other has constantly pushed people out of their plateaus.

Finally, my breakdown is roughly LG -0/-1, LR -0/-2 , RC -4/-8. My RC is wildly inconsistent, so preferably a partner with strong RC and weaker LR and/or LG would likely benefit the relationship the most.

Looking for serious individuals to join for a study group to prepare for the 2021 April Lsat flex

Hi there - I'm currently scoring 167-169 and hoping to break 170 (goal is 173+). I'm looking for a couple of people in a similar situation who are able to meet online once a week to review LR and RC sections. I'm in the Bay Area so west coast peeps preferred!

Best,

A

Hi Community! I am looking for one or two dedicated, down to earth, and sincere study partners to work with for the January test (first-time). I am interested in working through the PTs/section and really take time to understand missed questions/build foundations and have a thorough review/understanding of the method/process of getting to the right answer before moving on to new PTs. I am currently scoring in mid-160s and would like to get to higher 160s or low 170s by January test date. My goal is to cover at least 2 PTs every week but will slow down if I am missing more questions. I am currently working full time and doing a masters but I can be available during evenings and weekends. Please inbox/respond if you are interested!

Hello! I've recently begun studying and prepping for the LSAT and am taking an Online PowerScore Prep Course. I could really use an accountability partner and someone with whom I can share notes, ideas, and insight, as this journey is still relatively new to me and all kinds of help and tips are welcome.

I'm working and studying from home, but we could probably work something out either via Zoom, a computer chat, or a local library if absolutely necessary, although given our current health crisis I'd prefer not to commute anywhere far or be in close proximity to many people.

I'm also new to 7Sage LSAT...how does this work? Thank you and good luck to the rest! :)
