I am feeling overwhelmed and stressed with my first lsat exam coming up next week. I don't feel very prepared and i feel alone in this process. I think i am becoming mentally drained and taxed from studying and not seeing results I want. i am super busy and a undergraduate playing soccer and working. I have been studying for 6 months for the june lsat 3 days a week for 2 plus hours. Im not sure if im studying wrong. i take practice exams twice a week. Is reviewing and doing the drills the best way i learn i feel like the way im studying now isnt working and i would like to try somthing new for when i take the lsat exam in November. im tyring to decide if i should just cancel the june lsat and take my first one in novmber or at leat take it and get some exprience im not sure.

I have both accounts necessary paid for and the site is still telling me I don't have an active account.
I had originally been scheduled to take the LSAT in June, deferred it until August due to my strengths being in LR and RC, and now am unsure of how to proceed.
I have an extremely firm grasp on the LR and RC and do not wish to study the small, pedantic details for a 2nd and 3rd time because I do not want to get into my head and overthink.
But also I am worried that if I strictly take practice tests for 2 months straight, I will be burned out for when I take the test in August.
Has anyone else experienced this and how did you proceed?
-Thank You

When I go to the syllabus page it states that it cannot connect to my lawhub prep course after purchasing the bundle on this site. Please help.
I started using V1 back in February when I thought that I would take the LSAT with the logic games, but now I need to push back more because I’m not ready. I’ve done over 300 of the LR lessons, when I switch to V2 it goes back to 0. Can I just keep using the V1 for LR if I’m taking the LSAT August and later?
I subscribed to the LawHub Advantage this morning after linking with my 7sage account and for some reason it is not recognising the fact that is has linked and I'm not sure why. What can I do to fix this??
Hi there-- I am looking for study buddies in person (Fairfax VA or DMV area) or remote. Let me know if you'd like to get together!
Does anyone know of any admissions group chats? I know LSD has chatrooms but I was thinking more along the lines of group chats or discords for people applying fall '24. I don't know many pre-law people, just attorneys from work, as I am in the workforce and am first-gen. If anyone wants an accountability partner for the admissions process please hmu! I've got a 164 and am going to be applying to several schools around t50, mostly in the midwest. Thanks!
I was consistently getting -2 on my PTs and after the April exam, I can't seem to get a PT with an RC score higher than -7. Any advice about how to get out of this rut (soon hopefully)? Any drilling advice for these next couple of days would be beyond useful!
Hello!
I've recently started to use 7sage to study for the LSAT. Im a rising junior in undergrad and do not know where to start. I plan on taking the LSAT sometime in the winter of 2024/25. I am also a first-gen student, so I feel like I have no guidance. I have read up on many LSAT reddit posts, but I am unsure if I should be "doing more" with studying. As of now, my current plan is to study for the whole summer and try to fit it into my academic schedule in the fall. How often should I be doing drills and prep tests? I am currently going through the foundations portion of the syllabus.
Anything helps!
Thank you :)
Does anyone know if they will be posting the recording from the June study group? I was at work at the time, so I missed it.
Hello, I am contemplating a lot if I should take the June 2024 LSAT. I have started studying since Jan 2024 however my study schedule has not been consistent to the point that I still need 15 hrs left of the core curriculum and I have not been able to take any practice tests to see where I am at. I really want to get a high score at least 165 +. Should I wing it on the final chance I can do logic games or should I prep more for the August LSAT???
To help with my studies, I am reading books to practice some of the things taught in the V.2 curriculum. I am reading a book called Political Tribes by Amy Chua. On page 91 it states the following " Experts today agree that merely deploying twenty thousand additional troops would not have been sufficient had American commanders not "stopped fighting Iraq's tribal structure and instead started to cooperate with it..."
I think this sentence is similar to PT 64.1.18.
The way I would translate to a conditional would be
If not "stopped fighting Iraq's tribal structure and instead started to cooperate with it.." then, deploying 20k would have not been sufficient
or
If it was sufficient then they stopped fighting or started to cooperate with it
Any insight on this would be great!
Hi, I just finished this practice test and was very confused about why the answer to this question is E.
The stem is asking which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument. The argument can be summarized by the following: if a medieval epistemologist believed something, then it belongs to the broader category of medieval epistemology and vice versa.
The correct answer is: "there is much debate as to which medieval thinkers, if any, were epistemologists." The answer I chose is (paraphrased): some medieval epistemologists had beliefs that contradicted those of other medieval epistemologists.
Who cares if the first one is true? It's true that there is a debate, not that there for certain are no medieval epistemologists. Whereas, if the answer I chose were to be true, it introduces a clear contradiction (where X and not X are true at the same time). Could anyone help explain this? Thank you.
Looking for a study partner(s)/group to keep each other accountable and motivated
Hi everyone! I am planning to take the September LSAT (will be my second time taking it) and would love to set up a zoom study group! I think it would be helpful and also keep us motivated and accountable if we set up a zoom meeting every so often and helped each other study and maybe target each of our weak points. If anyone is interested and wants to set up a zoom study group, email me at halvarez9097@gmail.com. I can start a group text for anyone interested and we can find a time that works for everyone to meet on zoom :)
I'm debating whether or not I go through the foundations section to study for the August 2024 LSAT. It seems like a lot of the information would only be helpful for logic games?? Like for example the "Conditional and Set Logic" and "Logic of intersecting sets" sections don't seem like they would be any help on a test that has no LG. Any opinions on this would be great!
I’m looking to study for the August and September lsat test. Is there a practice test I should take as a diagnostic for the new version of the test? Thanks!
Hi,
I notice that when I get a question wrong on a practice test, I usually miss the next one too. Wondering if this is by design or if its just me. Has anyone else ever noticed this?
Hey guys, I have been studying for 4-5 months now and I started with a 136 pt score. I did see improvement with 7 sage and got my highest score to a 147. My goal is a 150-155. However, when I take pts recently my score is not really improving. it has been 145, 138, 147, 139, 140, 139 in 2-week increments. I also notice that especially in Rc i don't get to finish all the passages on time and have to guess. What is some advice or things you did to help with score improvement? I plan to take the LSAT in august, so I have 2-3 months to get 10 points +
Where can I find pinned questions completed during LR problem sets? When I go to the analytics page, under pinned responses, I only see pinned responses from completed practice tests. I have pinned some questions that I answered under the assumptions module for LR, and those do not appear here.
I just graduated from undergrad this weekend. I want to be a lawyer and go to law school. My final GPA was a 3.1. If I do really well on the LSAT, would I still be able to go to a T25/T30 school? I know it'll be a handicap in my application, but is there any chance?
Hello all!
I am in the beginning of my LSAT Journey if I can qualify as that. I recently purchased my 7sage membership but previously used Mike Kim's book.
I was supposed to take the LSAT in February but ended up postponing it for June 2024 as I was really struggling to improve during my winter break as quick as I wanted. I am now in a bit of a bind because I postponed the test for June 2024 and experienced various health complications during the semester which made me have to focus more on my classes in order to catch up and I stopped studying for the LSAT.
I am now done with my semester and I am about a week out of the June LSAT and I am still scoring in the 148-152 range. Does anybody have any advice to help me progress or get easy points using 7sage or else ?
I also plan on taking the August LSAT, for this I will have more time to study over the summer so I believe that I will do way better. However, what should I do for June ? I still want to attempt it. My worse section is Logic Games, followed by LR. I'm doing just okay with reading comprehension.
Thank you so much.
I started 7Sage about two and a half weeks ago (I know still very early on-just want some tips) and have started prepping for the LR section of the LSAT for the new version after August, hopefully taking the LSAT for the first time in october. I started with some of the foundations as well. I began the theory and approach lessons which explain the question types and give examples of each, as well as examples for you to do throughout the lessons. Anyway, when I finish with those I start drilling with the lessons and tips in mind. I started the MSS lessons and now have been drilling through the clean questions. I always watch every explanation video for the ones I got wrong and read over the ones I got right to mimic the strategy.
My questions:
Is it normal to have a high varying range of wrong answers between timed drill sets at the beginning? For example, I will do 10 questions to start off in one set since I am very new to this and get -5 on one then -3 on another, maybe -6, -4, then oddly I'll get all of them right and it restarts. Somehow, my main common score is always getting -5. Either way, it's such a weird range and I have no idea where I am at or how to gauge this. I know there are gaps because I just started but what are your tips? Even though it's still early shouldn't I be improving at least a little?
Did you find drilling or lessons more valuable and how do I know what's best for me? Did you watch every foundational video or focused on specific lessons and then drilled right after?
