hi! I am a teach for america teacher who taught in the nyc doe for 3 years, & resigned in june (at the end of the school year). when the summer break started (july), I was accepted to an education policy & advocacy fellowship in nyc that was 2 months long, which ended sept 8th ish

I am applying right now, & currently unemployed - main reason being: I got married early october & was away the majority of the month. I took sept & nov lsats & studying during my downtime all summer & when I wasnt working in sept/when I got back end of oct before nov lsat. other reason being the market in nyc is crazy & I do not think ill be able to get a job that is law school-esk (legal secretary, paralegal, etc) to just work for 6 months before going to school. I will probably continue my job as a volleyball coach & supplement with another retail job to pay the bills until school.

now my question: since I am applying by the end of the month, are schools going to be wondering about my current employment status? do I need to submit an addendum for this? I feel like its a moo point but also idk?

Is there any study discords, I am applying for the fall 26 cycle and im starting now, I need people to study with! My name is noahwayne on discord

I am in the process of writing my additional essays beyond my personal statement and could use some other opinions, for example for Wayne State there is an optional essay that can be written and it gives many topics however no information about length or formatting, should I follow the conventions given in their personal statement guidelines? Would it be appropriate to contact the admissions office to ask about this? any advice would be greatly appreciated!

For those who have consistently achieved anything from -0 to -3 on RC, do you have any tips on approaching the most difficult questions of a section/passage under time constraints? On questions, I'll set a certain amount of time (e.g. 45 seconds) per question. On extremely tricky questions where I debate between 2 answers, I'll flag the question and move on if I run out of time. Typically, I'll be hyper attentive and look for a specific word that might help me eliminate an answer choice, but this doesn't always work (shoutout PT45 S2 P2 Q10 ugh). I'm currently averaging anything from -5 to -10 (a large range ik).

Is there anything specific you do while reading the passage that helps with the most difficult questions? Do you look back at the passage? Purely rely on memory and low-res? Does anything change in your approach when you're answering the last passage of a section, knowing that the questions will likely be more difficult?

Advice appreciated! Thanks!

I have been with 7 sage since July, 2023. Today was my last test no matter how I did it. That was my second test. At this point I am leaving you guys, and I just wanted to say you thank you! That was a long brutal journey and I grateful for your source!

Until a few days ago, I was able to see all my individual drill answers in the analytics tab and was using that information to strengthen my weak concepts. Yesterday I tried to do the same, but noticed that they are all gone from the analytics page. I know that you can also see previous drills in the actual drills tab, but then you have to go by each drill which is really inconvenient. What can I do here?

I have been doing drills of 5 questions for each LR question type. And trying to at least get 80% correct on each difficulty level in order to move on to a different question type. But this feels wrong and I am not quite sure how to drill properly. I feel I need to do more questions, but still unsure if it’s best to mix question types or keep it the same. Does anyone have any tips that could help?

Have u guys noticed Chappell roan song titles are so close in spelling to LSAT topics ? Casual and Causal? Phenomenon- Femininomenon? 🤔 just another late night ponderance .

Title says all, I'm slowly working my way through them and I don't want to freak out, but before you know it January will be here. Does anybody have any tips for somehow seeing through to the harder questions?

Hey guys, I've just about finished going through the LSAT Trainer (2024 edition), and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts here have been regarding supplementary resources for 7sage in general. When I initially began my LSAT prep, I tried proceeding strictly with 7sage but I found myself getting a little all over the place. I think the LSAT Trainer was a decent starting point for structuring my LSAT self-study and prep; I think I'm going to be able to utilize 7sage a lot more efficiently moving forward. That said, I still wouldn't be surprised if anyone thinks there are better supplementary resources out there. What do you guys think?

I'm an idiot. I registered for the LSAT prior to the deadline for November. It asked for a photo and I just uploaded a selfie from a while ago because it was perfect - plain photo background, no shadows, etc. I began to read the requirements and I think I'm screwed. For starters, I lost about 25 pounds since then. Secondly, I shaved my beard about 3 weeks ago so it's not as full. Genuinely worried that my test is not even going to happen because I was being stupid and wasn't thinking carefully. The anxiety is officially through the roof. Not sure what to do.

Where would I find a list of all the types of questions featured in the question tag?

I just began my LSAT journey and loved 7sage's curriculum. I created my study schedule that I loved and started to get into my groove, but then I was made aware that there was no Logic Games section on the LSAT anymore. When I select the option to use the syllabus for the August 2024 LSAT my study schedule gets all messed up on the website. Would it be ok for me to continue with my original study schedule and simply skip over the logic games section?

Hi guys!

I was wondering how everyone takes their study notes while going through the syllabus. I have been using google docs, but I am realizing that all the pages are making me overwhelmed. Is there a physical book for 7sage that has descriptions for the logical reasoning section and tips? I think the multiple sections in the logical reasoning section is making me confused and feel lost about to take notes. Thanks!

Hey 7sage people,

I just took the November LSAT yesterday which should be the last time I ever take the test. I wanted to take the time to write out some major take aways I learned during the 6 months I prepped for this test.

The score range that I shot for was originally the high 160s. I started out with a 153 diagnostic in May of 2024. I did not look at any LSAT material before taking that test. I studied from May until the end of this past October. I ended up taking the September, October and now November tests. Throughout this period, I took 10 PTs scoring between 153 and 166. I recieved a score of 157 on the September Test and then jumped 5 points to recieve a 162 on the October test. I'll be posting this without the knowledge of my November score.

A couple of main take aways I found

Budget more time than you think for the entire process. No one really explained the law school application process to me and I started way later than I should have. If you are in undergrad and are planning to enroll in law school the fall after you graduate, you should begin prepping your junior year, take the LSAT in the summer and then apply fall of your senior year. 7sage does not give a specific amount of time required to get the score you want but I would honestly suggest more than 6 months. I prepped 6 months but it felt more like 5 because a lot of the fundamental stuff is so far away from how the actual test feels. I saw consistent improvement throughout my PTs and actual test scores and I think if I had allotted more time I would have scored even higher.

This one is more personal preference, but I would highly suggest sitting for an actual test before you are PTing in your desired score range, and taking all of your tests at a test center. A large part of the LSAT is the mental game and no matter how many practice tests you take, you will feel anxious the first time you take the test. I would suggest sitting for an early test and getting the first time nerves out of the way. I employed this strategy for the September test and I think it really helped me on the next two tests. I also suggest taking the test at a test center to remove the stress associated with worrying about if your WiFi is going to fail, or the possibility of a computer error, and so on and so forth. The feeling of knowing that all I needed to do was show up and take the test was very comforting.

Take care of your body. The LSAT takes a lot of time and mental energy to engage with and if you aren't getting enough sleep, eating poorly and not getting exercise you are standing in your own way.

Take breaks, especially if you are in undergrad. I am not saying blow off studying for the LSAT, but one extra practice test is not more valuable than missing out on some amazing memories with friends and family. I also think that if you are hitting a wall with studying or are seeing your performance plateau, a solid break can help break you out of your slump.

1a. This leads me into my next strategy. There is an element of luck to the LSAT. Each LSAT will have a different amount of each question type and each test is curved a different amount. This means you could miss more on a subsequent test and recieve a similar score. You will come to find out that the question types you struggle with are usually solveable, they just involve a large time investment during the test. I adopted a strategy from some other 7sagers which was utilizing an exit strategy. An exit strategy is when you encounter a question stem you know you struggle with and immediately skipping it and going to the next question. I also used this strategy when I encountered a question that had a long causal or conditional reasoning chain even if I knew how to do it. This allows you to bypass a time trap and answer easier questions. I refined this strategy so much that on the novemeber test I had approximately 5 minutes to go back and look at the 5 or so I skipped and give each one a strong try.

Disclaimer: For individuals looking for advice on achieveing a 170+ or wanting to go to a T14 law school, you will probably not find useful advice here. The law school that I want to go to is the University of Alabama School of Law and I was not looking to perfect the LSAT. I am just hoping to give a few tips and some perspective on the journey because it is a huge investment and often dictates very impactful consequences. In no universe is this an exhaustive strategy for doing well on the LSAT. I would encourge everyone to look at other discussion posts on 7sage. There are a lot of great strategies and frameworks out there that could really help you achieve your goals. I want to wish everyone the best of luck whether you are trying to go to a local law school or Stanford.

I'm trying to print out some drilling sets and it looks like there is no way to do it anymore. Did 7Sage remove the printing feature or am I missing something?

I took my diagnostic back in august and got 148. Since then I have been working through the curriculum. I made it through the foundations and first part of logical reasoning with the old version before I realized there was a newer one I should be on. since then I restarted the new version and redid grammar bc I felt I was shaky, I did all of the foundations and 22 percent of the logic part and 66 percent of the rc curriculum. About a month in I took another diagnostic (while at work and being interrupted) and scored a 149. I assumed that because I was at work that contributed to my low score and that it would generally show my improvement since then if I was in a controlled environment. However, after 3 months of studying as much as I could manage with working full time and being in grad school I scored yet again another 149 on the first round and actually blind reviewed the entire test and still only managed a 150. I am at a loss right now and feeling super discouraged. I only have a 3.3 from undergrad so I do need the lsat with my admissions. For reference I want to apply the year and not wait until next year bc I am currently working at a university that has free tuition for employees and a law school. I hate my job but that makes it worth it and everything would be so convent. I just am feeing discouraged right now and at a loss. I know I haven't finished the curriculum, but how is it possible that I am stuck in the same place as when I started. It makes me feel like all of this ha been for nothing.

I am taking the January LSAT and it will be my first official test. I requested to take it at a testing center rather than virtually. When do we typically know if this request is granted? Do I wait for LSAC to reach out to schedule more details? The deadline for this exam registration is Dec 3rd so I have time, but I was just curious! Thanks for your help and happy studying.

I have a disability that prevents me from taking the LSAT on the computer.

Why did 7 sage remove the ability to print practice test?

Anyone know where I can find PDFs of practice test?

Is A->B A->C therefore, B some C a valid argument, since A-m-> B and A-m->C therefore B some C is valid.

Hello 7sage peeps! I am nervous and overwhelmed with the LSAT coming up. I plan on taking it more than once, but that is not stopping me from doing my best. I am taking it this Saturday for the first time. Would anyone like to study together for it? Message me.
