We're hosting an Open Bar Study Break Mixer on Saturday 10/18 in Midtown Manhattan, immediately following the LSAC law forum. Details are in the graphic below. The event is totally free! RSVP required.

really looking to start a group to study and learn from each other for the lsat!!! maybe we can make a group chat or discord

I go to school at UF, took the LSAT twice, did horribly and am retaking it in January. I'm from West Palm Beach and visit frequently. Would anyone wanna study in person on online together?? Need the help lol let me know!

Hi All - I'm sure there's already been posts about this but I wasn't able to find any discussions. I'm in the process of getting out my applications had a question on how admissions officers are treating the use of AI with personal statements and optional essays.

I'm asking because I just wrote out a quick draft of an optional essay and put it into Grammerly to see if it would be flagged as AI generated. Grammerly said it was 83% AI generated even though it was 0%. I then put in a paragraph that I had ChatGPT write and it said it was only 70% AI generated.

My concern is that schools are going to throw out my application because they use one of these tools that erroneously says my essay is AI. Does anyone have any insight into this? Obviously it's a very new problem.

Anybody in Portland, OR want to start a study group with me?

I'm taking the LSAT at home for the first time (had a terrible in-person experience so trying this), but I was wondering if anyone with a gaming PC setup has been dinged for having multiple monitors, mic arms, etc.

I've made a second setup with just a laptop, XL gaming pad, and additional monitor as my "testing zone" but was wondering if secondary monitors/graphic mousepads are dinged and not allowed. Should I keep it to just the laptop and mouse?

Would love to hear about other ppl's experiences testing at home and how I can optimize my setup for seamless testing without having to rework my desk the day of.

Hello, I have been a long time user of 7sage and the new website has been good to me but I have noticed a few issues as of recently.

1. When I am practicing in a drill, the highlighter used to be applicable across any question I switched between. But in the sets I have done today, I find myself having to click on the highlighter again whenever I move to another question.

2. When I come to the end of my drill after submitting, the review section is not keeping track of how much time I spent on any question other than the 1st one. When I click on these questions to review them, it tells me that I have to click to mark the questions as seen. This worries me a bit because I don't want to be practicing with the same questions I have done or seen before.

   

3. In blind review it used to only mark questions that the website though you should review, but for some reason every question is marked for blind review whenever I complete a drill now.

   

   Please let me know if there are any fixes to this, thank you!

Greetings 7Sagers!

Good Morning,

I've been studying for the November LSAT and would love to know if there are any others in the same boat. If it's of any interest, I'd love to form a study group.

It appears unlikely that Causal Reasoning is, on average, 22.7% of the LSAT. Is the "Avg. questions per test" metric bugged?

Time-tracking on drills/sections for me is not consistent/available anymore. If a drill takes 7 minutes to complete and there's five questions, my tracker states that I spent 7 minutes on the first question and 0 minutes on the following four. Is time-tracking not working for anybody else? How can I fix this?

In South Carolina would love study buddy !! taking nov test

Hello folks! So, I was supposed to take the LSAT this week, but I forgot to bring an acceptable form of ID (due to my travel circumstances, it was impossible to go and get an ID), so I basically just had to take the L and go home without taking the LSAT.

What I'm wondering: How will this show up on my LSAT record? Should I include this test date in my law school applications? Is this a big enough deal that I should write a small addendum explaining the circumstances?

Any advice would be awesome, thank you!

In the past few days of doing focused RC Drills, I notice most of my incorrect answers tend to be the 'Implied' question type. Any suggestions on what I should do to hone in on this skill and master it? Thank you!

Does anyone know of any classes from the tutors that would focus on difficult grammar parsing and double-negatives or other things like that? Those ones tend to trip me up, and I'm looking for a way to improve. All the classes seem to be focused on specific question types, but that may not be what I'm looking for.

Hey y'all, I'm studying for the November LSAT, which will be the final LSAT I will take. I feel pretty good about my LR, however my RC is really inconsistent. Sometimes I get -1/-2 and other times I get -7/-8. I want to drill efficiently this upcoming month and want advice on how others have improved their RC sections.

My practice consists of drilling separate passages (timed), where I focus on writing efficient and quick low res sums, and taking full length sections under timed conditions. I also try to join as many RC classes as I can. I'm trying to focus at least a full hour of RC everyday and can up that time.

How should I switch up my studying? Have there been effective practice methods that have worked for you? Would love any and all advice :)!

what to do with wrong answer journal?

I mean I know, u have to see why u got certain Q wrong but I dont understand how to utilize my WAJ. is there a way? how do u all revise it effectively? Any tips and tricks?

PS. I use CollANote app for my notes, I have created a seprate doc for WAJ. I usually take a picture of question (including AC and everything) and then I write the technique that instructor uses.

Is there any other effective way?

Everyone makes mistakes on the LSAT—but some are far more common (and costly) than others. In this episode, Henry and Rahela break down the five traps they see students fall into again and again, and share what separates average scorers from top performers. Whether you’re just starting or chasing that final score bump, you’ll want to hear this before your next practice test.

I recently completed the core curriculum and am starting a study process of a PT once a week and drilling based on the results of the previous test. However, I am two PT's in and what is killing me the most is just blanking on the stimulus and re-reading it over and over only to have time run out with 8-10 questions left to go.

Is there a specific strategy to focus on improving time, or is it just repetition? Should i grind through PT's anyway, or is it better to just do untimed drills?

Hi,

I am new to 7sage, and I wanted to do the initial diagnostic PT to see where I am at. I noticed the time went by way to fast and I did not finish nearly half of the questions. Is this normal to get such a low score or should I wait and begin the CC before doing a diagnostic?

It might be a minor detail but I'm wondering how in depth an Addendum should be and if over explaining could help or hurt when applying with one. I'm reapplying this cycle and am unsure if it should be more detailed than my previous one. I applied last cycle with an Addendum briefly stating that I am not a good standardized test taker with proof through my ACT and LSAT scores. I said that I've worked all throughout college and therefore had less time to devote to the LSAT. I wrote that my grades are a better reflection of my hard work and what I can achieve. Should it be as simple as that?

I started studying for the LSAT on October 1st. I've just been doing the "Core Curriculum" lessons to get a good basis of understanding. Should I be mixing in practice drill questions even though I'm at the beginning of the lessons? If not, when should I begin to mix in the questions with the Core Curriculum lessons I do every day?

1 step forward, 2 steps back it seems

When I'm browsing through the recorded classes and scrolling down, I sometimes click on something to take a closer look. But when I hit the back button, it takes me all the way back to the top of the list, which is really inconvenient. I wish the back button would return me to the exact spot I was viewing before, instead of resetting to the top

Hi everyone. I'm realizing that a significant portion of my missed points comes from my RC section. When I do it under unlimited time, I get a pretty good score but under timed conditions, I usually miss 10-12 questions every time. When I get to the last passage, I sometimes only have 5 minutes, so I feel like I guess a lot of the last couple questions. Is there any practical advice that anyone can share for getting better with timing and accuracy that has worked for them...other than doing drills over and over?

Thank you!!
