This Thursday at 8PM I'm opening the floodgates and showing off some of the most successful law school applications from last year. I'll be breaking down personal statements from applicants who beat their numbers and got into top schools below at least one median.

These aren't "the best personal statements I've seen (from people who had great numbers anyway.)" These are real essays that made a measurable difference for people who worked with 7Sage last year. Some of their approaches might surprise you!

Join me live this Thursday, September 18th at 8PM ET

I'm also going to be spending part of the hour reviewing personal statements submitted by you. If you'd like me to consider giving your personal statement draft a free live review on air, you can submit it here.

I need some tips/help

Hi! I graduated college in May with a 3.1. I'm studying for the LSAT right now hopefully to apply to law schools for Fall 2026. I know my GPA being low is a negative but other than working hard to get a high LSAT score I'm not really sure where else to go with my process. I want to make sure my personal statement is good but I can't afford any services to get someone to look it over. It's the same with prepping for the LSAT I'm even using the free version of 7sage because I can't afford anything else. Can I get some tips on how to go about the law school admissions process as well as tips for my personal statement and any help that could get me a higher LSAT score I would really appreciate it.

I am currently working through Core Curriculum (CC). In doing so I came across a broken link titled Fact v Belief v Knowledge. I do not recall seeing this covered in the Foundations. I cannot access this information via the link. In the video explanation of the problem regarding Job Loss called: Lesson 3 - Job Loss J.Y. refers to a "Ground Level Truth."

Here is the link to this lesson: Lesson 3 - Job Loss

What is a Ground Level Truth? How do we access the lesson to the broken link?

Finally, does anyone have any addition feedback they can provide on this question?

PT 143 S4 Q10 (this was the question used in this lesson).

It was a bit tricky for me.

I'm a career switcher looking to take the LSAT in November and would like to set up a study group.

LR seems to be my hardest subject area and I'm currently PT around 145-150.

I work full time so I'm available after 5 PM EST and on the weekends.

I'd be open for doing an in-person study groups or something virtually.

Negation Test

Does the negation of the right answer choice for a NA question have to completely destroy the argument or can it merely weaken?

Glitch

Hello, is anyone else having glitches when doing the blind review? My initial score was 100% then during the blind review, it told me I had one wrong, and when I redid the question the blind review was 80%.

Hi, my target score is 155.

My test is in October.

I'm getting 143/BR157 (Sep 03) and 149/BR152 (Jul 23).

I finished all the core curriculums.

Should I work on PrepTests or Priorities by Tag?

Confidence When Blind Reviewing

Any suggestions with not second-guessing yourself when doing the reccommended blind reviews? I got -5 before blind reviewing and then got -9 after. I picked 6 wrong answers during blind review that I got the correct answer for originally. I took my time during the section so I was confident and then saw all the reccomendations for blind review and went downhill. I'm getting closer to test date and I'm second guessing everything now. I think it's the anxiety of testing soon but I'd love to know tips.

New feature: Study Plan Phase 2 - Practice

Study Plan Phase 2 - Practice is here!

Phase 1 recommends lessons from the Core Curriculum based on your diagnostic score and the amount of time you have to study.

Phase 2 recommends Drills, Sections, and PrepTests based on your Analytics. This is in beta so I expect there will be some bugs. Any and all feedback welcome!

Phase 3 (coming soon) will help you prepare the week leading up to your exam.

😖 Frustrated

Am I screwed??

Hi all,

I just recently received my CAS GPA and to say the least, it is MUCH worse than I expected,

I am currently at a University but I got my AA at a community college. My current GPA at my University is 3.83- and I am taking high level courses- I am graduating in December (I am still taking classes).

But due to an oversight on my end I did not realized they took your grades from your AA and all the Institutions you have attended- not that I did bad, but my GPA was about a 3.1.

My CAS GPA is a 3.17.

I was completely distraught when I found this out. I have made the calculations and when I finish my classes in December with an A. Then my new CAS GPA will be a 3.30. (I am certain I will get all A's on my classes this semester)

To be honest, there isn't anything I can do other than Ace my classes this semester, but with that my GPA will still be low.

I took my LSAT in August and I scored a 151, NGL there was a lot that happened that day- I am surprised I even scored in the 150s given the series of events, But I also took the September LSAT last week and that one felt amazing, and I am also going to be taking October, my goal is to get a 160.

I want to go to FIU Law- that is my dream law school - my current undergrad-

Do I even stand a chance with that GPA???

I also wanted to apply in October- but will they even look at my application with my current GPA? I want to get in on early applications, I would resubmit my transcripts once I get them and have a new GPA (probably around January)- and I am planning on writing a short addendum on that.

Does it even matter that my current classes are much harder and I am getting all As on them- as opposed to my undergrad with basic classes (when I was a teenager and obviously didn't care/know the repercussions to my actions).

I have also worked at a prestigious Law Firm for 2 years as a Legal Assistant,

LMK if my efforts are even worth it.

TLDR; 151 LSAT 3.17 GPA- HOPEFULLY stats are 160 LSAT and 3.30 GPA- at the end of the process- do I stand a chance getting into FIU Law?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am in Miami, FL- Eastern time. I feel like a study group would be amazing to hold each other accountable and see what we get wrong and review together and provide each other with new insights or POV's we haven't thought of yet.

I took the August and September LSAT- I can share my scores and Information if you would like to see if were in the same ballpark and to tell you how it felt and what went wrong for me,

I am very excited to see my September score- but I have a goal of getting a 165 ish,

I would love a study group in these last few weeks of grind time,

My schedule is open before 8 AM most days and after 6PM (Mon- Fri) and completely open on Saturday and Sunday!

Lets do this thing!!!

Data Export

Is there a way to export our analytical data? I would like to use ChatGPT to review my analytics and drive a new study path for myself in 7sage. I cannot wait for this development to hit your platform. I have 8weeks to LSAT.

How predictive is a practice score on an older LSAT (i.e. 127) vs a newer one (i.e. 158)? Is the correlation generally weaker the older the test is?

I've read that older practice exams tend to have easier RC sections, but if you do really well on 127, is there reason to think that will translate to test day? Or should you focus on recent exams to diagnose your likely score?

Is anyone else having this same problem? Every time i try to use the "show question" feature to view a question and try it myself before a lesson or refer to it when im doing review, it will either not show up entirely and glitch my screen, or pop up with half of the question?? Im sure its just a bug but hopefully they can fix it soon because its making my review way more inconvenient lol

  • Show me which ones I missed on BR when I'm reviewing the test! Right now it only shows red X for those that I missed originally, and nothing about BR in the Q list at the bottom. Especially important for if I get one right then change it to wrong in BR it's still a green dot in the drill/test review, I have to leave the review and go to the drill summary to find the ones I changed to incorrect in BR. Ideally this wouldn't ever ever ever happen, but I am not the ideal test taker (trust me I know). Those are definitely Qs I need to review since I obviously don't understand them.

  • When you do a drill, it would be awesome if it would give me the appx LSAT score that it correlates with. Or have somewhere the conversion from raw % out of 100 to LSAT score. I know it's not exactly how it works, but it helps me get a sense of how I'm doing in LSATese.

Just some thoughts + unsolicited opinions based on my last couple weeks of studying. I <3 7sage!
