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?

Any good routines to get warmed up before the test?

Thanks :)

I'm a 6+ year writing tutor who used to work with a nonprofit for almost two (admission) years helping students with their personal and diversity statements. I'm willing to fully assist the first 3 people to join with either a personal statement or diversity statement for free and with a personalized approach. If you are interested, comment below or DM me and I'll add you to my own personal Discord group. edit: I now have the 3 people for free extensive help. But I am willing to meet with 7 other people for about 10 minutes each for general advice/questions. Comment below and DM me for the link along with your discord name! expired

i really need to keep myself on point with the lsat, i know cool libraries we can hold group study sessions at, print pts and go over them in person and stuff like that. lmk thanks

I wrote this in the discussions around 4-5 months ago but then my laptop broke and I couldn't access 7sage but I'm back and want to actually get on track with doing this. add me on discord or IG if you guys are willing to join!

Hi Everyone,

Looking for advice or tips on how to improve my RC score. I'm currently getting 6 wrong on LR and 10-13 wrong on RC which is decreasing my score drastically. I've watched the 7sage core curriculum, and I am working with a tutor but we haven't gotten to RC yet. I read nonfiction and fiction daily to improve my reading comprehension skills, but I have such a hard time with RC passages because of the structure and convoluted language, also with the questions I find myself struggling to choose between 1-2 answer choices and i usually always end up choosing the wrong answer. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All—Should I study and review the experimental sections in addition to the scored sections? Or is it unnecessary and too time-consuming? While taking a pretest with an experimental section might help boost stamina, I'm not sure how wise it is to study and review them. Most of you would likely say I should study and review them. But why exactly? Could you please share insights on the importance of reviewing experimental sections? Thank you.

Hi all future law students among me,

Anyone interested in joining a study group in Houston for the upcoming LSAT dates? Personally I am taking the January exam but am interested in joining or creating a group to help and encourage each other for LR, RC, and applications!

Let me know if interested and I can create a groupchat!

I finished PT 38 and its only showing how many i got wrong, but not the actual scaled score which is confusing. The circles where the score should show is completely empty.

So I'm taking the LSAT in about a month now, so I really want to buckle down and squeeze the last few extra points I can out of it. The only problem is that I work full time and find it difficult to come home and take a full length test, so I limit the amount of test I take to one a day on Saturday and Sunday. I just feel that, after a long day of work, I wouldn't be able to preform like I should, and wind up getting frustrated. Should I focus most of my weeknights into drills, or is there a different strategy I should be looking at?

I was struggling with timed tests because I felt like my anxiety about my performance made me forget everything I learned beforehand. I started taking a few breaths during the beginning of my exam and pretending it was untimed practice, and it worked! I went from 165 last week to 173 today!!!!

Is there a way to just take timed sections of previous LSAT, instead of the whole exam? Please helppp

Hey guys! I’m starting an online small study group and trying to host as often as I can! Please comment if you’re interested and I’ll add you. It will be on this discord server: https://discord.com/invite/lsat

Does the virtual tutor choose question type that you tend to get wrong or are the question types randomly chosen? I just would like to know if it is effective for drilling.
