I've been using 7 sage for a few weeks and wondered when was the best time to start or join one. I am still on foundations and wanted to know should I start when I'm scheduled to start taking PTs? Is there anyone interested in a study group where we go through the lessons together then review it together? I am uncertain, but I want to get the most out of studying with all the help I can get.

Wrote this past June LSAT and scored a 145. Starting cracking down on my prep late August / Early September and scored a 158 untimed this past week. This did give me the motivational booster that made me feel like for the first time I might be able to do this thing.

Any tips for endurance? I took about an hour for each section but a lot of that was having the correct answer but sitting there wondering if it was actually right. My goal for the November test would is to score a 160 since I have a 3.9 GPA and that would put me in a good scholarship zone for most the schools I would like to attend.

Now that logic games won't be featured on the LSAT anymore, should we just skip the logic games curriculum on 7sage?

I know that there are a few logical reasoning questions out there that require you to be able to diagram conditional statements. So is there any part of the Logic Games curriculum we should look at, just in case?

Thanks all!

I am scoring in the 165-167 range on my PTs and want to be hitting about 171 for the November LSAT. I am consistently missing only two questions on RC and getting them all right in blind review. On my last PT, the only reason I didn't get just one wrong on RC is because my time ran out and I couldn't answer it. My LR is obviously less consistent, (-3 and -8 on my last PT, 165). My question is whether I should focus all of my attention on LR in the next few weeks or try to get those easier-to-reach extra two points on RC first. Might be a dumb question just due to nerves kicking in, but curious what the best way to organize my study would be.

Hey everyone,

I'm taking the January LSAT and I'm looking for people to study with. I work full-time hybrid so mid week I'm in Manhattan and the rest I'm on Staten Island.

Thanks!!!

I feel so discouraged and upset. I've taken 4 preptests lately and keep getting my base actual score of 157. No matter how much I study, practice, and complete wrong answer journals, I keep getting 157. I can get my score to around 163 after blind review, but I'm just so confused and upset that I can't get any higher in my normal attempts. I know 157 isn't the worst score but I was really hoping to do a little better than that. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, personal experiences, or literally anything that could help me in this context? I am so lost as to what I can do to improve. Any advice, help, or words would be so greatly appreciated. :(

Hello - Does anyone know when the site will be done running maintenance? I got the notifications earlier in the week/last night that it would be starting at midnight on 10/18 and take a couple of hours, but it's now almost noon on the 19th and I'm still unable to access analytics/don't want to take drills/pretests as the data most likely won't be saved.

I know the two hours was just an estimate, but is anyone else still experiencing this/know if they're still doing maintenance on the site, or is this something only I am experiencing? Weekends are really my only time to do the bulk of my studying, so fingers crossed it won't take all day today.

Thanks! :)

What are you guys doing to distract yourselves from thinking about it?

I'm going crazy over here

Hello, I was listening to a 7sage podcast and the hosts mention having clear set goals that you establish before taking a drill, timed practice test, or timed sections. Does anyone have an example on what those type of goals should be? I feel like mine are way too general like read the stimulus carefully or understand stimulus completely before getting to the answer choices.

Hello everyone! I've recently started using 7sage to prepare for the February LSAT, and I think it’s an excellent program—I'm really enjoying the Foundations videos. However, I’m a bit unsure about a few things. Should I be practicing problems independently while I watch the videos? Also, what do you all do while watching? I’ve just been taking notes, but I’m not sure if that’s sufficient. Some friends using other programs have already started practicing problems right away, and I’m wondering if I should take that initiative too or wait until they come up in my syllabus. Any answers/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: The server updates went very smoothly and we are back online! Total downtime was about 11 minutes. Thank you for bearing with us while we did the upgrade.

7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we update the servers.

Pacific Time: 9pm Friday, Oct 18

Eastern Time: Midnight Friday, Oct 18

We expect that the site will be available again in two hours, hopefully less.

Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!

I was doing well on my prep tests and saw a lot of improvement in my score until last week when I started getting questions wrong that I usually don't even think twice about. I feel like I am back at my starting point. Has this happened to anyone? And what is your advice for starting to improve again?

I am not getting the score I want, and I plan to take the November LSAT. Should I wait and take the January LSAT to have more time to study? I have read that I will have lower chances of getting scholarships and admission because many schools are rolling admissions. However, wouldn't a lower score versus a higher score also give me fewer scholarship opportunities?

Is anyone on 7sage applying to Ontario law schools? Applications are due November 1st, so I am creating this discussion post for fellow Canadian students to ask questions about the application process and for inquiries about navigating the different steps in OLSAS.

I live in Hawaii and I haven't met a single person online studying for the LSAT from here :( Is there anyone else in Hawaii studying for the LSAT? Or even West Coast peeps? I have a very active discord server with amazingly smart people I love studying with but they're mostly East Coast. Even though we have 3-4 study sessions scheduled every week, I can't make them sometimes if I'm working. I'd love more Hawaii or West Coast people to join so we can schedule study sessions :')

Please comment your discord user below so I can add you!!! And if you ARE from Hawaii please let me know, we could even plan in-person cafe study sessions together!!

Hey guys, I am currently finalizing my applications but am on the fence if I should submit an optional essay for this prompt:

"You are not required to submit an optional statement. However, you may upload an optional statement regarding any economic, cultural, social, or other factors that you wish for us to consider when reviewing your application. Your optional statement should not exceed two pages (double-spaced) with a minimum of one-inch margins and a 10-point font size. Your decision not to provide an optional statement does not adversely impact the review of your application."

Am I wrong in interpreting this as a diversity statement? For context, my optional essay is about how Washington state mountaineering culture influenced my identity and instilled perseverance and tenacity in me. I do NOT want to submit this and come off as tone deaf or ignorant to admission officers if others are writing about URM status and going through real struggles rather than writing about hobbies. Any thoughts or advice?

Hey guys. I've been doing prep for the last 2-3 months (7sage & Other), looking at taking my first practice test tomorrow since my June LSAT (145, I know it's bad please don't scold me, I know I shouldn't have wasted the attempt).

I am hoping to score a 160 (hopefully) on the November LSAT with 3 weeks left and "crunch" time approaching what would the best way be for me to dedicate the rest of my time. Would it be to take just practice tests or would it be beneficial to see how my PT goes tomorrow and look at my weakness and tackle them there?

I'm just stressed as taking a gap year is not possible for me (I already have work experience too, so no hindering there). I'm hoping to finish my applications and submit as soon as I get my LSAT score. I'm looking for any and all advice, please I'm trying to be optimistic I just need someone sane to tell me if this is unrealistic?

Hi everyone!

I'd like to know how you all review wrong answers to avoid making them again. I'll take a PT Section/Drill, see what I got wrong, then go to the explanation videos. But my scores are staying pretty stagnant and I want to get down -6 or less.

Any advice would be welcomed on how to better my review process.

Thanks!

I had above a 3.5 GPA during undergrad, but took three courses at a technical school before attending my four year university. The courses were challenging and my gpa was a 2.6. I’m wondering if I should write an addendum or leave it be so I don’t draw more attention to it? Please let me know what you would do!

I find that going through the curriculum so far I find that I end up spending way longer.

For example, I just completed my Wrong answer journal with my diagnostic being the June 2007 LSAT. I find that I spent way more than two hours over the course of two days to complete it. I counted my hours and I spent seven hours going though it. On my Blind review for the same test it took me about 7-8 hours to go through it. I originally started doing the lessons, arguments, but I decided to restart my progress to do a diagnostic first. I write notes for my lessons and do the quizzes, but I find that it takes me four hours to do a lesson that is estimated to take 2 hours in total. Here is how I have it spread out to work on it currently. My schedule that I plan to follow is this to do the argument lessons,

Schedule:

T- 1.3 hr (lessons)(rounded to 2-3hrs because I write notes and stuff)

W- 1.6 hr (lessons)(rounded to 2-3hrs because I write notes and stuff)

Th- Review notes on topic + Make anki deck on important terms

Fri-1.8 hr( lessons and notes)

St- Review Notes + Anki Deck

Sn- Rest day

M- Start next session

Should I just go through the videos then write notes when I am finished. I am uncertain how they wanted people to reach the estimated times.

Hey! I took the August LSAT after consistently scoring around 160-164. I got a 158 on the real deal. Since then, because I'm a full time student, I have not had much time to study or improve. I've since taken two more PTs and gotten a 161 and 162. I do not struggle with a specific question type, but typically the highest level of difficulty (though even that is pretty inconsistent). I am retaking in November and would like to feel a little more secure when it comes to hitting my goal of somewhere in the 160s on the real thing. I simply do not know how to improve, as I know different approaches work for different people. As of right now, my plan is to keep drilling and just go over every single wrong answer to try and weed out any bad habits I might not realize I have. Feeling not so great to be honest lol

How can we enter a proctored test on 7sage? Are these reoccurring?

I remember during the drills in the syllabus there was a slider for expected accuracy/inaccuracy, can you do that when making drills under the Practice tab? For example I want to do harder drills so I would want to put it to like a higher expected wrong answer percentage.

Hello 7Sage, I am currently learning from your grammar lessons and I wanted to know when we use this knowledge on the test, are we constantly trying to parse out the subject, verb, and object? Or is this information that we can draw upon when sentences get tough and are not sure what the sentence even means? Or use it for something else? Granted, I have not learned every module of the grammar lesson but I would like to know to prepare.

I'm taking the November LSAT and NA and Flaw have been really giving me a hard time, especially NA. I was really good at them like a month ago but for some reason I am unable to pick the correct answer now. I've tried the Must be True trick, but end up taking out the correct answer and start negating the 2 wrong answers - which evidently don't get my anywhere. I also read the Ellen Cassidy loophole. Any tips/tricks to help? Or videos you guys recommend?
