Hello everyone!
I am taking the October 2026 LSAT and I would like to get a local study group going. I am willing to meet in person or online, whatever works best for anyone who decides to join!
Hi,
Below is every practice test I took up until my real test in april.
I took every test there is on 7sage that isn't an older test. What is your recommendation? Is it ok for me to re-practice tests in addition to drilling? Is there anyway to get new tests on 7sage? Do I really have to resort to taking older tests not in the LSAT computer format? I really need to start studying to be prepared for June. I really really want to beat my old score. Speaking of old score, what should I do if my 2nd test is lower? Cancel it or...? IF it depends on the score how long until a cancel is worth it? My target score is 166.
As the title states, I want to change my study plan to focus more on RC instead of LR
There are so many aspects of the new format that do not make any sense. First off, on RC you have far more scrolling to do. Everything is squished. The only solution is to make the words microscopic...
Second, the toggling to hide answers does not make any sense. Who thought that was a good UI change?
I saw one guy recommending making the background purple just to see everything better? I mean my word... what have we come to
Third, I dont even know... im just ranting at this point.
I'm currently going into my 4th year undergrad and I'm taking the LSAT this June. I just started reaching out to professors to get a confirmation that one is willing to write a letter of recommendation for my law school applications, but it is very difficult since my major is huge and all of the lectures have 200+ people. My grades are all in the A and A+ ranges. One of the professors I reached out to replied to me and said that she cannot write it since she does not know me first-hand, but she is okay with me reaching out to my TA to write about me, and then she will sign off on it but still explicitly state that she does not know me. In my opinion, I don't think that will be very helpful, but she says that method has been successfully used by other students in my position. I'm honestly just a little stressed and nervous and not sure what to do here. I'm still waiting for 2 other professors to reply to my emails. I honestly just need one academic letter since I plan on getting one from my boss at work. I'm applying to Ontario law schools only.
Hi everyone,
I am having trouble understanding causal reasoning. Would anyone be able to explain how it works and how I should approach a stimulus when the question type involves causal reasoning?
Also, I was wondering whether 7Sage has a section where we can review causal reasoning.
Hello everyone!! I just took an argumentative writing test on Lawhub for the first time, and I want to know how is this from your perspective. I have less than a month to study for taking the real test. I would love to hear every advice you can give me!!!! Here is my writing:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emphasizing career preparation over teaching general, broad knowledge would be a serious mistake which is to be avoided at all costs. The general knowledge acquired through one's university studies are so valuable that those without it could find moving in life a lot difficult. The university education is an investment in the first place. This investment, while partly being about having a good career path, is still, a beautiful way for discovering and building oneself.
Building upon this argument I will be in an agreement with the ideas from the second perspective. University is a place and time where you discover yourself, where all the knowledge acquired is stepping tool not only for getting a great job after graduating, but also for finding who you are and what your own perspectives are. Illustrating from my own experience I would emphasize how transformative the university experience was for me. Before starting my degree I thought only about what kind of job I will get and how much it will pay me while not even thinking about if I would like what I will do or not. I have acquired broad range of knowledge even from my first year of university which helped me realize of how little I know about my own self and about everything else. Every opinion, every perspective I had before starting the university has been redefined or at least, changed in some way. This change not only helped me in understanding my own values but also helped me to change my career path. I realized that I am not who I was before and I, probably, never even wanted this career path. This realization was only possible through acquisition of broad knowledge that was given by the university. If we consider the alternative option, if my university was fully focused on teaching me about my career and how to excel in this path, I would have chosen a path that wasn't mine to follow. So, broad knowledge might not directly influence how strong of a candidate or how successful employee one will be, it, nevertheless, directly guides one to the path one should and ultimately wants to take.
As we can observe in perspective one, the emphasis on career education leaves out the opportunity of discovering oneself. While I fully recognize that the argument stated in this perspective regarding today's job market is probably correct, still such a view of university education leads one to live for work and not use work for living. Another interesting point is made regarding contributions, specifically - contributing to society which is something that will be achieved even without career education. The knowledge acquired through university creates broad skills that can be useful in so many instances that one could contribute to society in so many different ways rather than being professional in only one route.
While I defend broad teaching by universities, I, nonetheless, understand that a lot of students have sole motivation to be as successful as they can in their respective career path. This motivations would lead one to emphasize career readiness more than knowledge of different subjects. But this is mainly what I was arguing in the preceding paragraphs, this is the example of someone who found their own way and wants to follow it. But while teaching broad knowledge could help diverse range of students, such approach as career education is mainly beneficial to those students who have already found their way and their identity. This is while being unjust, is also depraving career focused students from discovering a lot more than they think is possible. Even if they don't discover anything new, nonetheless, they will be certainly sure on their chosen path and ideas.
As I defend teaching broad knowledge, I must emphasize, in case there is a counter argument that this way is not creating ready students for their career, that this broad knowledge leads one to be able to adapt to different environments, and in turn prepares one to take on wide range of career paths and responsibilities. The skills acquired from broad knowledge are essential for achieving a beautiful and wholeheartedly desired life, while skill for career success can be earned through working, The time in university is not unlimited, thus it would be best used to acquire as much knowledge as possible and discover deeply who one is and what life they desire the most.
Hi, on the internet and in the past, it seems like users were able to make custom drill sets. When I go to drills, however, I don't see any buttons to do this. It has drill templates at the bottom but I don't know how to make one. When I go to questions and add filters, there is no button to create a drill set. Can somebody please help me figure this out?
I’ve wanted to be a lawyer since I was in middle school and I have so much passion for fighting people (lol I’m mean) but I’m getting a little discouraged because GPA matters so much for a T14 school and I ended undergrad with a 3.4. Before I apply to law school I’ll have been working full time in a non-legal field for 3 years. To me my GPA shouldn’t matter at that point but I know it will. Any advice? What LSAT score do I aim for? Help a girl out 😭
I would like some advice or feedback from people in similar situations. I got a 157 on my first exam this April, which is lower than I wanted. I got score preview as a fallback, but now am unsure if I should keep the 157 or cancel it. I initially told myself I would cancel anything below 160, since I am registered for June, but I am now unsure.
With a new interface coming in August, I was wondering if we could possibly get tips/strategies on how to work through it, especially with regards to timing.
Yeah, I understand that they base it off the data from thousands of users, but I'll go -1 on a section and it will give me a predicted score of like 168, lol.
Has anyone with accommodations taken the paper-and-pencil exam? If so, what does that look like? (i.e. how are the pages formatted, highlighters allowed, do they give you one section at a time?, etc.)
I made an lsat discord 5 days ago and we have about 50 members who actively study everyday anyone can join no matter what your level or skill so far it has yielded good results for those that joined. I am a mid 160 scorer and enjoy helping how I can and I am usually in vc streaming notes or drilling during the day and we do pts and review them as a group. SEE YOU THERE https://discord.gg/PbDgMJzuV
Has anyone who took the April LSAT and received a score hold gotten their score back yet? I'm still anxiously waiting and would be interested to hear if others are in the same boat.
Hi - first time posting on 7S!
Self-studying the LSAT and was wondering if people always map logic for Logical Reasoning questions. I'm not sure if it's a waste of time, but is it worth the seconds to write down a quick logic map (like the one for this answer's explanation)? I was able to answer this question in my head (and not write down anything). Just wanted to know what's best practice!
Any tips/strategies for how to properly and efficiently review and go over RC section after doing PTs.
Currently getting 5-6 wrong per RC section and would like to know how to best go over wrong ACs and understand them.
Hi! I'm going through my lesson plans and find all of the Miro diagrams very helpful. Is there a page or link to all of them? I can't seem to find it.
Hi, I would love to have the highlighting text feature in a lesson text. If I bookmark a chapter review, I would love to go over and scan the main points next time instead of reading the whole chapter again. Maybe that feature already exists, and I missed it?
Realistically what is the best way to review wrong answers in RC? In RC you simply got it wrong cause you did not comprehend a certain sentence well enough. Considering this, I find it difficult to know how to actually review this so that you can comprehend better in the future since it will be an entirely different passage.
Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for being more consistently in the -0 to -2 range on RC sections. I find myself still getting -3 to -5 sometimes and this is something I really want to fix before my next exam, especially since I think hard RC passages won against me in previous times.
Thank you guys so much!!!
It would be great if we could select wrong questions (some or all of them) to review in tester mode, that way we can approach the problem in clean mode and compare to prior attempts.
Also it would be great if the wrong questions in analytics can be sort by oldest to earliest.
Thanks!
I am starting to get a little discouraged by this exam. I have been practicing rather consistently the past couple of months (started a full-fledged study plan about four weeks ago), but I am consistently doing worse on my PrepTests (went from 162 to 161 to now 159). Starting to feel like things aren't clicking. I feel like I have a solid grasp of fundamentals which is why I am only doing practice, but things are trending in the wrong direction. I am really frustrated. Not sure what I am doing wrong here
