Has anyone else noticed drastic differences in accuracy between their initial attempts versus their blind review? I just finished an RC section scoring 7 less incorrect answers on my blind review compared to my first take and this is not an anomaly.

I was wondering whether anyone was able to bridge this gap and how they went about doing it.

My BR and timed gap is just discouraging especially since i’ve grinded from a 145 till now

Any tips on how to close this gap? I’m trying to hit 165/ 170 before September

Score Plateau ...

I am planning to take my LSAT in October, but I have been plateauing for months. I took the official LSAT twice so far and had scores in the 140's. I feel like I understand the the content (mostly), and on blind reviews I have been getting 157-160s. I just feel like my actual PT score hasn't gotten any better, and I am feeling the pressure of the days passing by and my actual score not improving. I genuinely don't know what to do, and I feel like nothing is working. I feel like I've been studying wrong or something, and every one else is getting it, but I am not.

help?

Essays

I went through a different test prep company to assist with my personal statement, all other relevant essays, and my resume. I want to make sure I am putting my best foot forward when I apply to law schools for the 2027 term and need to have a second set of eyes to review my completed essays.

Does 7Sage offer this service?

Hey y'all. I am planning on taking the August LSAT, so am in the final stretch of my preparation. I am working through the 150s practice tests, and have thus far taken PT 150, PT 151 and PT 156. I got a 165 on PT 150, a 162 on PT 151, and a 170 on PT 156. These were all taken within the last two weeks roughly four days apart. I read that 150-155 are the most accurate to the real exam, and I noticed on PT 156 the second RC section was identical to a section in the July 2020 exam. (I saw on reddit the old RCs were harder so I did the 2020 tests lol). Will that be the case for PT157-159?

Basically my question is how do I gauge readiness and last minute prep at this point? My goal is basically 170. I would be very happy with higher but I primarily don't want to get lower than that. I posted around a month ago when I was stuck at 165 and got advice on making an error log which I have found very helpful. Right now I am essentially redoing all the PTs plus the newest tests I have not done before. In addition, I am doing drill sets of just the Level 4 and Level 5 questions. My concern at this point is not ability but consistency. I find myself getting stressed in the tests as I get closer and essentially leaving questions I know the answers to on the table. I think I performed on PT 156 today because I got 170s on PT 127 and PT 147 over the last few days so I knew it was doable. Basically, what are suggestions for this last month to prioritize the questions that will be most similar to the real thing?

This was way longer than I intended but I mostly wanted to articulate my thoughts, thanks for reading. :)

In reading the Logical Loophole book, I was taught to always read the stimulus first; however, I have been thinking it might be better to read the question stem first on some questions. For example, on questions where you have to accept the truth of the argument, like NA for example, it is not very useful to analyze the argument because you have to accept it as true. What do you think?

Hi everyone, my name is Monet, and I am taking the LSAT in October! I was wanting to start a study group to potentially meet in person at least a couple times a month. My main goals in starting this study group are to have other people with the same intention hold me accountable and help me stay motivated! If you would like to join or study together sometime, please reach out!

I was really excited to recently find our that 7 Sage has a mobile app! Unfortunately, the option to log in with Google does not exist, and trying to log in with the Google credentials I would have used did not work. Is there a way to get into my account otherwise?

How to score higher

Hey Guys, Im new to 7sage. I was studying on and off for the June LSAT and scored a 148. For the schools I want I need to score between a 163-168. Im retaking it in october. Does anybody have any strategies for scoring higher or techniques that are not explicit in the course content we have here? I'm kinda struggling to figure this all out.

How do I stop rushing through LR?

I keep rushing through LR, and I feel like it's costing me points. I'm frequently left with 10+ min on LR sections, and if I get a question wrong the first time, I almost always get it right quickly when blind reviewing, so I feel like I have the foundation; I'm just not applying it and taking my time.

I think I hurry through because I'm scared that if I spend too long on a question, I'll second-guess my correct answer (even if this is seemingly unfounded lol). Does anyone have any advice on forcing yourself to slow down and think about questions?

Hey yall I’m trying make sure I’m understanding how to diagram when these words Unless/Except/Until/Without come up in conditional sentences.

“Unless your GPA stays at 3.5+, you don’t keep the scholarship”

I have learned to cancel out the unless and don’t as two negatives and get:

If gpa stays at 3.5+, then you keep scholarship ….

But I did the 7sage lsats game and it’s telling me I got this conditional wrong….

My theory is I’m missing a step here of then making what follows the unless the necessary condition so:

First cancel don’t and unless

Then make what follows the unless the necessary so I’d get:

If you keep scholarship then gpa stays at 3.5+

Is what is above the correct way to diagram the original statement in quotations? Thank you

The title is basically my question.

I’m looking at Notre Dame, and my GPA is a 3.85, which is below their median. Does that mean I’d realistically need around a 171 LSAT to have a good chance of getting in?

For context, I have some solid softs:

  • D1 athlete

  • Draft eligible

  • Two years of work experience at a global nonprofit

  • Master’s degree

I’d love to hear what others think, especially if you’ve been through the admissions process.

Thanks so much!

Advice on Staying Focused

Hi everyone!

I am in need of some advice about how to stayed focused during a full-timed exam. I can usually get through the first two sections unbothered and locked in. However, after the 10 minute break between the 2nd and 3rd sections I become super tired and sluggish and this causes me to do worse on the last two sections. I know I could do so much better if I am able to stay on track and not become uninterested.

I am not sure if this makes sense or if anyone else has had this issue, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I’m wondering if I should write an addendum to address my LSAT score, I’ve taken it 3 times, jumping from a 156, 160, and finally 165. I might even take it one more time in September to improve even more. I took the first test 2 years ago and didn’t really take it seriously. My most recent I was able to get while working full time! Should I address this on my applications?

HELP!!

Hi All. I am taking the August LSAT and looking to get to 160-165 for my first attempt. I am currently testing between 154-158. I am struggling to break into the 160s. If anyone can provide me any tips or anything they did that helped them make a leap for these 5-10 points in a month that would be really helpful. Thank you and good luck to you all.

A lot of schools I'd like to apply to have optional perspective/diversity statements. I'm a D1 athlete applying KJD. I'd like to focus this part of my application on how college athletics made me a strong collaborator who can work to achieve a goal with people from various backgrounds, made me a strong leader etc. but I see tons of stuff online about not writing about playing college sports. I don't know what else I'd write about that I don't discuss heavily in my resume/PS. Is there any way to do this...correctly I guess?

Hey everyone, im based in the Greater Toronto Area and been studying for the LSAT on and off for the last couple of years. I'm aiming to hit the 160+ mark for the September test and do my applications right after and think I could benefit from working alongside a dedicated study group (ideally online but in-person could be doable too) or an experienced tutor that is familiar with this process already.

If anyone is in the same boat or wants to create our own group in case there isnt one already, let me know! Thanks!

Hi! I am a prospective applicant who just graduated with an undergrad degree at the end of May. I was planning to take a gap year before law school and have been applying to jobs while I study for the LSAT (which I am taking in August). But so far, I have struck out in the job market. Does anyone know how long is too long before a gap off work is a red flag? And does anyone have any advice on how to land a job that could help my application?

This was my first ever practice test! I was pretty nervous going into it, due to the fact I had only done 1 timed RC section (-8) and 1 timed LR section (-6). I'm very happy with the results, including the blind review.

It's very interesting how I got 2 early questions wrong in LR, when I usually get the first 10 correct.
