Hi everybody.

Im a junior in undergrad planning to take the lsat in June. I wanted to see if there were any study groups here or if anybody was interested in making one, either virtual or in person?

I’m aiming for a score 170+ and my last pt was a 160 so I’m looking for other people in the 155-165 range!

Looking for a study group in the Raleigh/Cary/Durham area. I'm about an hour away and would love to meet other individuals on the LSAT journey! Currently registered for January and also studying for June.

Hey team! I'm looking for study partners who work a 9-5 job in Florida or in the Eastern Time Zone (EST). My goal is to achieve a score of 165 and above, and I would love to organize a motivated group of positive individuals to make this test prep enjoyable and help us stay on track, even on our most tiring days before and after work. This isn't easy, but there is strength in numbers!

1 Official Test

Hey everyone,

I started the LSAT PTing in the high 150s before I found 7Sage. 7Sage has been instrumental in my journey to achieving higher scores; by the time I sat for the September LSat I was PTing in the low-mid 170s (4 months-ish of studying). I notice a lot of people here are sharing their study habits so that others may attempt to emulate them, and while I’m sure there’s some value to that, I’m here to tell you that I climbed with absolutely no method to my madness:

I studied when I felt like it (often, but irregular), I would wake up and go to sleep when I was tired (sometimes asleep by 4am and up by 2pm), and I would take random days off. I had the 7Sage app, which I would take with me to events that I didn’t think I’d enjoy (and just do exercises at the event). The only thing I would regiment is my practice tests, which I tried to make as “test day” as possible (I took 8 PTs overall).

I scored a 171 on the one and only official LSAT I’ve taken. I was going to take it again the following month, but serious family issues made it an unattractive prospect, and I was happy with a 171.

I say all this to highlight that the test, and studying for it, is a very personal affair; you need to find what works for you. All these people can offer you their words of wisdom or tips and tricks, but at the end of the day all you need to do is figure out how to understand the question being asked.

However, if I was to make one recommendation to someone seeking improvement, or highlight one aspect of my own studying which dramatically improved my results, it would be thus: blind review. Blind review, blind review, blind review. I can’t overstate how dramatically that changed my performance. Be mercilessly honest with yourself, and push yourself to fully understand questions and the ‘answers’ the test writers are providing you BEFORE you reveal the correct answer.

As a final note, be kind to yourself. You reading this here are in a select minority of test-takers who is probably taking their LSAT prep very seriously. I met countless students (at UC Berkeley no less) who were just “going to take the test and see how it goes.” You are already ahead of them, and if you take your studying seriously, you’ll finish miles ahead of a significant portion of test takes.

Best of luck 7Sage-ers!

Houston Study Group!

Hey everyone,

I was looking to see if there were people interested in making a Houston in-person/virtual study group?

I'm taking the January LSAT, and am studying full time this month.

Let me know if interested and maybe we can make a group!

Hey, interested in taking the LSAT this summer and want to get a high score. Looking for a study group to study with and discuss questions with. We could help hold each other accountable for studying. Could be virtual or in person (live or work in the NYC area). I work a 9-5 job, so preferably someone who also works or is ok with studying in the evening. Let me know if you’re interested!

Hey, is anyone else's 7sage being really slow and glitchy? Im trying to scroll through my PT and its just very slow in processing the scrolling and opening. I thought it was a wifi problem but i troubleshooted everything and its the same problem across all my devices. Any idea what to do?

RC External REading

Hello, I wanted any suggestions about stuff to read outside of LSAT material that is similar to RC so I can get my brain used to that sort of reading. Any suggestions of books, news outlets, etc? The economist is one I hear but now its a steep price to pay so am looking for something cheap! Thanks

Taking the October LSAT here in a week. Nervous, like most, but I am confident in the time and work I have put in. Five of my six PTs are at or above my goal score so I'm just hoping for consistency.

I actually feel pretty comfortable with LR at this point. Not too surprising considering how great the new curriculum is and how long it spends going over every question type. RC is a totally different story. If they are easier passages I can score as well as a - 3, but more often than not I am struggling to finish all four passages and ending up anywhere from -7 to -12. I will try working on that this week by just drilling as much as I can.

According to analytics, a huge area of emphasis for me is implied questions. Maybe it's easily explainable due to me consistently not finishing passages, but any advice/tips are greatly appreciated considering how frequently these question types come up on the test.

P.S. If you are taking the October LSAT, good luck! Just apply what you have learned and see where it takes you. Don't let this test take control of you, even if you start off with a rocky section. You CAN bounce back.

I am a bit concerned that while going through the curriculum and associated drill sets I am seeing so many real LSAT PT questions. Won't this skew the accuracy of my PT experiences and scores when I take them if I have seen too many questions from the tests beforehand?

I am going through the entire curriculum between taking my diagnostic PT and my next PT and worry that when I start taking PTs again I will be familiar with too many questions for accurate test simulation. Is this addressed at all in the curriculum or methodology of 7Sage?

I have been using the 7Sage course since August to study for the LSAT, and I am scheduled to take the exam in April. I wanted to know what other's study plan typically looks like? Just need some inspiration on how often I should be taking PT and drilling. I am still not completely done with the curriculum, but any advice is greatly appreciated

Preptest View

I'm having a problem with viewing all of the preptest that I've been taking on the 7Sage website. I was wondering if someone can help me with this problem?

I have an LSAT score on file from the November LSAT, but it is not the score I need to get into the schools I want. I am taking the January LSAT to try and improve my score. So, do I submit now with my existing score, and hope that schools see the updated score later (if it is better)? Or do I wait to submit until after my LSAT score is released?
