Does anyone know of similar games to those included in PT 94? #helpadmin

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if there is anyone else here who was a student athlete in the US and is now getting ready to apply for law school. I feel like because I was an athlete and was very dedicated to my sport, my gpa suffered at times. I had a 3.5 undergrad GPA which I know is not very competitive. I'm wondering if being an athlete is very relevant to applications or if it makes it seem like I did not care much about my grades and chose sports over academics. If anyone can relate or has any knowledge of athletes who went to law school I would love to know about it because I haven't met anyone in the same position.

Interested to hear thoughts on this matter of a real struggle I am having given what I think is now a 28-year track record on the LSAT. I am coming to the conclusion; Law School will not be a reality if the LSAT is a true measure of success and ability in law school.

In college in the mid-90's I took the much-acclaimed Kaplan, took the LSAT in 1996 and scored a 143. I decided to forego law school and embarked on a corporate banking and ultimately a law enforcement career, from which I will retire this year. In 2022, I decided to reconsider law school, and signed up for 7Sage in February 2023. I have been studying on the site for a year now. My LSAT practice tests all have been in the 140's, and only once did I break 150 on blind review. I just completed a practice test (in the August 2024 mode without the logic games) to see where I was at and scored 138. After careful and thoughtful blind review, I scored 146.

I am never one to self-loathe so that is not the point here, but it just seems the LSAT has been a guaranteed measure of where I am at on this test, both then 28 years ago and now in 2024. I am no closer to performing well on the measure of law school admittance and success. I am truly considering cancelling 7Sage tonight and going on with life in other areas and reaffirming my decision to forego law school again, 28 years later.

I just would like to hear some other thoughts or struggles in this same vain if anyone has anything to share.

Hello! I wanted to create a space where I could connect with others who are studying for the April 2024 LSAT.

🔢 I'm currently scoring: 145 from June 2007 PT (ouch!..)

📆 My planned test date: April 2024

📈 To study, I have been: Finishing the foundation lessons and moving on to Logical Reasoning section.

🔑 My goals for this group are: To hold each other accountable regarding our individual study schedules and to connect with others going through this process.

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: I’d like to have check-in’s where we can post if we successfully stayed on track with our individual study schedules and what our “highs & lows” were for that week.

Once we move into PT’s, we can share scores and connect further on how to increase our scores.

✅ How to join: Everyone is welcome! Everything will be posted here and accessible to all.

I know that only 3 sections are scored, but is it still 4 sections taken?

Hey guys,

Taking the Aug 2024 LSAT - when I do the Practice Tests on 7sage, how do I configure it so I can get a full-length, 4-section PT w/o LG. Any way to splice previous sections into more recent PT's in place of LG? The option of post-August on 7sage PrepTests makes the PT shorter.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

To explain my situation, I am currently a junior in undergrad and recently took a light semester (only 2 classes). This is because I was on track to graduating a semester early (3.5 yrs instead of 4) since I took a good chunk of classes at a community college in my first year while simultaneously enrolled full time in my main university. This was before I planned to attend law school so I wasn't aware that law schools started in the fall. Since I was originally set to graduate in fall, I realized there was no point in graduating early only to wait a year for law school to begin. So I decided to push my graduation date to spring so that I can afford to take a light semester now and focus purely on studying for the LSAT and some volunteering work while also ensuring I maintain a high GPA.

My question is, will a lighter course load negatively impact my transcript? I am still on track to graduating in 4 yrs and was wondering if an addendum is necessary in my case. Thanks!

Hey! I finished the Foundation module and now I am working through the logical reasoning module and wanted to know how often I should take practice tests? Also should I jump around from the logical reasoning to RC or LG?

Hey everyone! I study 2-3 hours per day, and am scheduled to take my exam in April. I wish I could just focus on studying but I am currently a senior in college and work part time as well. I am also a bit of slow learner with new concepts, so I take way longer on the lessons than it suggests.

How do y'all manage to keep up with your study schedule?

Hello,

Wanting to get opinions on when I should try my first PT. Should I do a "pre-test" before diving into the majority of the curriculum?

Not sure what is intended.

I am taking the August 2024 LSAT, though I may push back until December while I am on break from college. I am going to start studying now. How many hours per week do you guys think I should start with? I was thinking 5-10

Can someone shed some light on remote testing? I scheduled for the exam and there isn't an option to select testing remote. the closest testing center to me is 100 miles away. I have a time extension accommodation but that wouldn't prevent me from testing from home would it?

How do I know when to take preptests on the v2 version of sevensage?

So I am pretty happy with my personal statement, but it does use certain creative liberties to add to the flow and story telling. It includes some fragmented sentences for emphasis points, as well as some general use of creative license with grammar and sentence structure. These sentences I'm referring to aren't correct by the standards of a strict English teacher, but would be employed in a novel for storytelling purposes and are generally 'good'. I really want to keep these sentences because I feel like they add so much to the story. I am wondering about the degree to which creative license can be employed in personal statements-if at all. Please help.

I've studied off and on for the LSATs for a while, but never seem to stick to it. I take a PT, get super excited about my score, then spent 2-3 weeks spending all my time focusing on it. Then around that 3-4 week mark, I start making excuses like "my brain just isn't in the right place" until I stop completely.

I don't want to do that anymore. That said, I've started working fulltime and have much less time to spend studying for the LSATs than I used to. I can force myself to study before work starts, yet I'm usually still waking up at this time and don't feel like my mind is all there. If I tell myself I'll study later when I'm more attentive, but I can't keep my focus on it later at night and can only spend half an hour or so on it. I'm taking ADHD meds but primarily for my work day, since I don't want to get fired.

My question is, is there a point to studying when tired? Is it better to spend more time in the morning when I'm not fully awake, or less time when I am but don't have 100% of my attention on it?

I know neither is ideal, but I want to actually stick to this and have it mean something rather than throwing my time away.

Hello, none of the videos on the syllabus are working Ive cleared all the cache and took off my ad block and they still don't load. I also changed the video player settings as some prior discussions have said that has helped. None of these are working.

Hi,

I am looking for a few people to study with for the April/June 2024 LSATs. I am trying to get to a level where I am consistently scoring in the 170s/can break 175+ so am ideally looking for a few people around the same level to prep for future LSATs. I recently took the January LSAT so I'm making this post in anticipation of needing to study for a re-take(s).

👥 Study Group Location: Virtual (Zoom or Google Meets)

🔢 I'm currently scoring: High 160s - Low 170s

📆 My planned test date: April/June 2024

🔍 We'll focus on: anything and everything to get the 175+

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: maybe super in-depth review? I've sort of hit a plateau and am looking for people around the same level to bounce ideas/new approaches off of in order to break 175+. Previously did a one-on-one with another test taker and we just took sections/tests and reviewed questions during our weekly sessions.

Please send me a DM with your availability + your current experience with LSAT (particular struggles/strengths, areas of focus, etc.) if interested!

👥 Study Group Name: Philly LSAT

🔢 I'm currently scoring: Low 150s

📆 My planned test date: April and/or June

📈 To study, I have been: Reading through the LSAT trainer supplemented with the 7S core curriculum, drilling, and PTs.

🔑 My goals for this group are: To hold each other accountable and share insights.

🔍 We'll focus on: Literally everything. My weak points at the moment are flaw LR and getting LG diagrams perfected. RC varies greatly but I am focusing on the LR and LG at the moment.

📚 When and what we'll do: I am open to meeting in person, over Zoom, or having a group chat.

What did I do wrong ?

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official January 2024 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the January 2024 LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, January 16th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

✅ The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

❌ The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

Good luck to everyone taking the January 2024 LSAT!

**Please keep all discussions of the January 2024 LSAT here!**(/red)

If you're ready to get more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. The next Proctored PT will take place on Saturday January 20 at 1:00 PM.

Looking forward to the Blind Review sessions on Monday for PT73. Last week's Blind Review sessions for PT70 (LR and RC) were fun! We had a lively debate as to the right answer for a tough Flaw question that dealt with a confusing part-to-whole issue (and a little dreaded math). We also discussed how to attack Comparative RC Passages, like the one on whether money can buy happiness. Can't wait to see more of you there on Monday, January 22nd for Free Live Class Day!

Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

Register by clicking the blue ‘Register’ button on this page.

Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.

Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This week's recommended PT is test 73; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday! (LR Review | RC Review). You can take the PT through 7Sage, or- if you want to simulate real test-day conditions- you can log into LawHub and take it there.

Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 PM ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctors will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to indicate your preference. If only the Prometric proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you will be able to test with those.

If you have any questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

Does LSAC send law schools all of your writing samples (within the 5 year timeframe) if you retook it? Or do they only see most recent sample?

I retook the writing last November because I wasn’t happy with the writing sample I had on file from a year ago. I also took the January test and have the opportunity to take the writing sample again. I am ok with the quality of my retake sample, and I don’t want to take it again if only the most recent is submitted. But if all of them are sent, I don’t see the harm in submitting another sample so law schools can see that the quality of my writing does not vary dramatically.

I have received several, contradictory answers from LSAC, and none of the support staff could directly locate the exact wording under LSAC’s policy or guidelines.

I understand, in the grand scheme of application review, the writing sample doesn’t hold much weight and is required partly for a plagiarism check. But, again, I see no harm done if it gives reviewers access to additional writing.

Took PT's 50-59 and 70 up to 76 and have consistently been scoring in the 153 -155 range. Took PT 80 and got a 150 and its no big deal, transition from 70's PT's to PT's in the 80 is kinda hard but ill take a 150. Bro I go to take PT 81 and I did so bad in section 2 of the LR for it, I probably wouldve got more correct if I closed my eyes and randomly selected answers. I understand that there are some anomalies out there but I did so bad in this LR section Im kinda scared to continue forward and Im taking the February LSAT. Not sure what to do. I dont think Im screwed because ive been scoring in the low to mid 150's for a bit now but Im unsure now. Any advice is appreciated.

I really want to apply for the fall 24 cycle. The only thing holding me back is this damn LSAT score. GPA and other app materials are already drafted and ready to submit. Planning to take the upcoming Feb LSAT. Struggling right now to reach at least a 160. I will settle for 157-159.

Current STATS: highest PT timed so far is a 150. untimed is a 165.

I've been taking at least 2 PTs a week so far this month and been doing the BR for all of them. Idk what else to do to increase my score or if there is still hope for that even happening in the next 2-3 weeks.

Heyo,

This is going to sound ridiculous but I have no idea how to study. My college degree (History/Education) was mostly focused around writing and research, and very rarely did I need to study. I was a notorious procrastinator and while this worked well for me (I graduated with a 3.9 GPA), I realized that in order to succeed on the LSAT and beyond, I need to roll my sleeves up and study. But the problem is is that I have no idea where to start or what works best when studying for the LSAT.

For context, I have been studying for around 4-6 hours a day so far but I don't feel as if it's enough as of right now, and I would like to study for longer periods of time. I seem to be most productive at night. My diagnostic is a 145 when I started the curriculum and I'm still completing it. I would like to get into the high 150s-low 160s, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and would like to do as well as possible. If I score high, I could get full-tuition from my local law school.

What do you guys do to study for the LSAT? How do you stay motivated? Please send help!
