I wish all of you September+October takers luck.

hey all! Looking for some guidance with my personal essay. I've been in the brainstorming phase of my essay for a while now trying to find my ending. I want to tell a story about myself that is genuine and stays with the reader. I want to write about my love of working with kids. i've done it all my life. it was my "thing" in college, serving as a camp counselor for kids with cancer. I could tell a million stories about how those kids shifted my perspective, made me listen more, etc. But i am having trouble connecting that to law. It seems like every university prompt that I read mentions "you should address your interest in law/why this makes you a good candidate" If you have any advice or have gotten over this same obstacle please lmk

Based on recent tests and how 7sage grades question difficulty, does anyone know what the average (mean) question difficulty would be around? My guess would be around 3 (medium) but I am curious if anyone knows for sure.

I was reading an article published a few years ago about personal statements, and it recommended to specify the personal statement to each school you apply to. It had two examples where the authors included 2-4 sentences showing some knowledge of the school's programs and why it aligned with their personal stories/interests. (https://www.usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/articles/2017-04-27/2-law-school-personal-statements-that-succeeded)

My question is, is necessary or even good advice? I haven't seen any schools recommending this on their website, and Harvard specifically states that they don't really want it (They say: "As for discussing HLS in your personal statement, we do not recommend it. The admissions team knows a lot about Harvard Law School — but we don’t know much about you quite yet."). I understand that you shouldn't make the entire statement about a certain school, but am worried that even the 2-4 sentences recommended by the US News article might be penalized.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts about this!

Is there any way to look at analytics of both obsolete tests and the new format on one graph? I just took my first Preptest under the new format and now I only see the modern preptest version, whereas I've taken like 12 preptests in the obsolete version #help

Hey is anyone coming across an issue where their videos are not loading for the lectures and it says due to their server?

I've been having issues with Link Assumption and Conditional Reasoning questions. Does anyone have any good resources (7sage live classes, syllabus, outside books, etc.) they suggest to improve on these questions types?

Hi all,

There's a lot of study groups out there for people in different parts of the U.S. and beyond that that are studying for the November LSAT.

Does anyone want to join me in creating a Pacific Time study group? Maybe people that can already meet at similar times so we're not spending too much time figuring out dates/times and can just get to material?

I am available almost all Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays between 2pm and 7pm Pacific Time. Let me know if anyone is available during those times and we can make a study group via GroupMe! We can start next week!

Let me know!

Does anyone have any last minute advice for the day before or day of taking your LSAT? I've heard many people say to take the day off but is there something you would recommend refreshing or keeping in mind?

Is there a huge difference between the PTs in the 130s and the PTs in the 150s? I find myself doing a lot better on the PTs in the 130s, but having a harder time with the PTs in the 150s. I feel like it's a psychological thing, and I psych myself out because of it.

Hello all!

I am looking to create a study group for those taking the November LSAT. If interested, leave a comment! I am thinking either group me or messages will be the most efficient way to communicate, so if you could leave your phone number I will create the group!

I initially made an account without lawhub advantage, but I just went and upgraded today- 7sage is still telling me I don't have an active subscription & can't access any of the preptests. Please help I need to study!

My study scheduler does not take into account the lessons i have already learned or the prep tests i have already taken. Is there a way to create a study schedule that does take into account these things?

I initially made an account without lawhub advantage, but I just went and upgraded today- 7sage is still telling me I don't have an active subscription & can't access any of the preptests. Has anybody else had this problem? I was in the middle of taking a test and really want to get back to it asap....

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a copy of Ellen Cassidy's Loophole and it seems to be unavailable everywhere. I'm in Canada but can pay for shipping from wherever. Please let me know if you have a used copy you want to part with.

Thanks,

Hey guys, so I graduated undergrad about 2 years ago, and a majority of my classes ended up being online at the time due to Covid, although I have already emailed a few Professors I had in person asking if they would be willing to write me one, I have gotten denied. At this point I feel really stuck and Im not sure what to do. I could ask an old boss but I have only worked retail jobs during my gap year or didnt work at all. Any advice? Is it possible to apply without any letters? I know its a stretch but im freaking out.

Hi everyone,

I've done a handful of prep tests here on 7sage now and have been getting a 160 every time (minus a one time fluke of a 166). According to the analytics page, my worst LR topics are Causal and Conditional Reasoning and Link Assumptions.

Does anyone have any advice on ways to improve in these areas (strategies, syllabus lessons, etc.)? Also, does anyone have any advice on how to break past the 160 barrier?

Thanks in advance for any insights you might have!

I am trying to use the download drill feature, as I want to practice while offline, but am unable to download any questions. Is there a solution for this, it was a genuinely helpful feature.

Hey guys!

Does anyone have any strategies for improving testing endurance? I tend to keep good accuracy throughout the drills and you try from the modules, but get gassed out mid-way through the actual PT sections, which negatively impacts my score.

Has anyone dealt with a similar issue and found a good approach to quickly fix this and score better? Such as taking more full-length tests or building up from individual sections, etc.

Any tips and advice are appreciated! :)

Hi all,

I took my first LSAT back in April, and after getting my score back, I realized I wanted to brush up a little more and take it again in the fall. With that, I'm scheduled to take it this Friday.

The thing is, I haven't taken a real, sit-down practice test since I was studying for my April exam. This summer, I started using 7sage and focused on getting the lessons and drilling. In terms of timing, I've been pretty good. I know it's a bad idea not to have taken any PT, but also, I'm scared to take a PT and get a bad score and feel discouraged for my real exam this week.

I guess I just need someone to second my opinion, or if anyone else is in the same boat as me, you're not alone.

Good luck to everyone taking it this month!

Hello,

I am studying for the November LSAT, and am wanting to get some feedback.

Currently, I am working my way through Logical Reasoning, and as such am doing roughly 5-10 questions or prep per day. I have taken one diagnostic test (basically completely cold to start) and have not done any since.

My question is: is there a way to use certain questions for drills, without seeing them again when you do practice tests? Is this a concern that anyone else has worked through, or just me? I don't mind a little cross over, but I just don't want a ton as I feel like that would give me an inaccurate picture of what my scores are on PTs when I get to that point.

Thank you for your consideration and time!

Hi!

I recently took a PT, and the score I got plus the questions I got correct are different from what the score would be with the questions I got right based on the calculate score/percentile page.

Ex:

Takes practice test, gets 52 correct and the score is a 156 but on the calculate score/percentile page says that would be a 158

I am just confused as to which my score would be because two points are a lot in my opinion.

I hope this makes sense!! Thank you :))

Hi!!

I feel like I am not understanding fully how to properly utilize the wrong answer journal. I dont know if this makes sense but I do not see how I will improve with it nor do I feel I know what to put on the "How can I change my process to do better on these in the future?" portion. I was hoping someone could explain to me and possible give me an example of how it has worked for them? Thank you so much!!

I got a 156 on the August LSAT, lower than what I got on PTs while I was studying. I'm retaking in October and really would like to be in at least the mid 160s. I am so lost on how to study to make this happen. I did PTs and drills for the first test with a wrong answer journal but felt like I was not improving. Any advice is super appreciated!

I have just been watching the videos so far, but I was wondering when I should start doing the practice drills with the videos? Or is it better to watch all the videos before drilling?
