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!

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

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!

Dear All Future Test Takers,

I am trying to start a study group for the upcoming January 2021 LSAT Flex exam.

We are able to do it via Zoom call.

Let me know which days everyone is free and which works best for us so we can get started.

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.

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!

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.
