Last summer I did 7sage practice for the LSAT and finished the curriculum, however, I didn't do enough practice tests to be confident to take the LSAT that summer. Now, I'm planning on taking it in June, however, I stopped studying over the last semester because school was pretty busy. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips to get back into it because at this point, since its been around 3-4 months since I've even looked at LSAT stuff, I don't fully remember the stuff taught in the lessons before. I also don't want to go back and spend time on content review... but I also don't want to drill questions and PTs without having the strategies in my head to do better. Any tips to overcoming this dilemma lol...? I should note that I spent more time than I should've on content review in the summer so I honestly don't have as much practice applying the lessons taught in testing conditions or even in drilling (I know I was dumb for this lol)

Hey guys, was wondering if anybody had experienced an issue similar to the one my buddy is experiencing right now.

“When I went to test my equipment for the exam tomorrow, everything tested well except for the “monitor width.” I contacted customer support and they told me they haven’t experienced anything like this before and if I want it to get resolved, to call back an hour before the exam tomorrow.”

Has anyone dealt with an issue similar, or have any advice for him?

Hello!

I'm looking for a mentor / coach to guide me through the ~month before I take the January LSAT.

My weakest section is LG.

I'm pretty strong in LR and RC but could use some fine-tuning.

My highest score on a PT was 174, but I've only crossed the 170 barrier once thus far. My average score is a 162.4.

Please DM me here or comment if you're able to coach/mentor me!

"I am reviewing the writing prompt from LSAT 84 and I am a little confused. For this prompt, am I arguing for one bullet point and either the Canton or the Fuller space? Or, both bullet points and the either the Canton or Fuller space? I’m just curious because I read one writing response in which the test taker argued for the two bullet points and only one of the following points (i.e. Canton or Fuller).

I am aware I need to point out the strengths and the weaknesses in my argument, and the exact same in the opposing argument, while reaffirming my argument in end."

Hi guys,

It's yo boy, coming here on the forums to type up some help for LR.

I was doing the LR, and then I discovered that I suck at one thing.

That one thing is literally that I seem to always miss around -3-4, no matter what. BR is around -0--2.

How do I refine my mistakes?

The questions I miss nowadays are usually strengthen, weaken, and passages with abstract wording/abstractly worded answer choices. (Usually, the questions I miss are the most "difficult" ones that many other people seem to miss.)

Anyone got any advice?

I'm taking September so I ultra-appreciate it.

I think the strength of 7sage lies in the analytics/drilling features. The ability to drill LG's by type, to create your own practice sets by Q type of LR, or to look at all level 5 science passages, for example, are all incredibly useful tools to hone in on our weaknesses and easily practice them. Seeing what we miss most on our PT's via the analytics, and being able to make notes on each question while doing BR is a straight up blessing. I was making excel sheets and google docs with question types I missed and notes on them and needless to say discovering 7sage has saved so much time.

I keep finding new useful features, but there's so many things that I have no clue what they do and no clear way to find out. It would be nice to know because perhaps I'm missing features that would save me even more time, for example, it would be nice to star certain RC passages/questions from my drills to come back and review later instead of having to write them down in a separate notebook and go back and fourth between the site and my physical notes.

My hope is that people can start posting their favorite less obvious functions, or tell me about little discoveries you've made on this website that have made reviewing/studying more efficient or convenient? Also if anyone knows where to find a super comprehensive tutorial on all the features that are available on this website, and what all the functions means on the answer review page that would be great. It has explanations about what some features mean when you hover over (like what score bracket got a question right) but many functions don't have that explanation and I suspect there's a hoard of things that I might find useful that I just haven't noticed yet.

Admins, if you see this you guys should consider making a concise but comprehensive video (for our attention span's sake please 25 mins max) that explains ALL of the features a student might want to use. If you've taken the time to add it to your site then you must think we'd want them- so tell us where they are and how to best use them!

Does anyone know if applying early binding decision to chicago will greatly decrease the potential financial aid I get? That is basically the only reason I am considering not doing it. Would love insights!

Are any of you planning to apply this cycle with your Jan LSAT score? I’m up in the air because while I really don’t want to wait around another year, I’m not sure I will get the best scholarships I’m wanting/the highest chance of admission, yet my dream school’s ‘ideal’ deadline is March 31st, with a final deadline in June.

Any opinions appreciated. I’ve been listening to a lot of ThinkingLSAT and I feel like I am talking myself out of applying this cycle, even though I’ll be well within the timeframe that the school gives.

JY suggests that sometimes we should cut a question out, keep it, and review it every so often.

So how do you do it? do you create a excel sheet for it or you create your problem set on 7 sage?

Hi all,

I am new to 7sage. Previously, I used a Kaplan prep course that was from Jan-March. During this time, I had a few hiccups in life and couldn't dedicate all the time I intended to my LSAT prep but did learn what seems to be the fundamentals. In the last month, I have hunkered down and devoted a lot more time to studying and reached a plateau in my progress, especially when it comes to Logic Games. That is how I ended up at 7sage.

Right now, I am scoring a 162, and I want to raise my score at least 10 points. I work full time but still plan on devoting about 20 hours to studying each week. I was initially planning on taking the August LSAT. However, the 7sage ideology of not studying with a specific deadline and instead studying for the greatest possible score I can achieve really resonated with me. That being said, I am looking for advice on how to use all the resources of 7sage. My questions are:

  • Since I have done a Kaplan course already, should I be going through all the resources in the CC? Or should I get to the preptests using the foolproof method and BR a little quicker?

  • Is it feasible to still try to take the August lsat, now about 3 months away, intending to increase my score ten points with 7sage? I don't mind pushing it back. But if possible, I would like to take it so I can still apply this cycle.

  • What do people think is the latest one can take the LSAT and still competitively apply for an application cycle? I was thinking August but wanted to hear everyone's thoughts.

    • Thanks in advance!

    I am planning on applying ED either by the end of October or beginning of November. On the 7sage Predictor, it says I have a 6% better chance of getting in ED if I apply in October vs. November, but I'm thinnking that this application cycle could be different because of COVID. Am I putting myslef at a significant disadvantage by applying in early November?

    I took the June LSAT a week after my grandfather passed away. The week leading up to the exam was one of the most emotionally draining/stressful weeks I've experienced to date. I ended up scoring 3 points short on my PT average/goal score, but also 3 points higher than my take in November. I've decided to take the September test. Any advice on getting back into the groove after a month off? I'm planning on taking 1 PT/week and BRing during the week while working full time.

    Hi all I was hoping I'd crush PT74 with the +50% accommodations box ticked as I was recently approved for accommodations. I found some very interesting points:

  • I didn't perform astronaumically better with more time

  • The MORE time I spent on a question in LR and RC (especially taking longer than 3:00), my chance to miss the problem were REALLY high at 73%

  • In LG almost all the problems I missed took less than 1:00.

    • For RC and LR questions that took me over 3:00, I got 3/11 correct. That's 27% of getting a question right if I'm going past the 3:00 mark; I think this shows there's a fundamental problem going on for that question that I'm just not gonna figure out, so guess and move on basically, don't waste time and energy.

    RC and LR questions from 2:00-3:00 I got 10/14 right which is 71% accuracy.

    RC and LR questions from 1:30 - 2:00 I got 9/12 which is 75% right.

    RC and LR questions that took 1:00 - 1:30 I had 86% accuracy, getting 25/29 questions right.

    Alarmingly, for questions that took less than 1:00 on LR and RC, I had 100% accuracy, getting 16/16 right.

    What's going on for LR and RC is I basically knew the answer fast or not at all. More time doesn't didn't mean significantly more accuracy for me.

    For LG: oddly the results were not the same at all for answering fast. As a caveat, I do consistently go -0 to -2/3 with more time, on one game in particular I got 3 wrong in a row which is not usual for me.

    (1:00, I got 70% 7/10 right

    1:00 - 1:30, I got 87% 7/8 right

    1:30 - 2:00 1/1 questions right(/p)

    2:00 75% 3/4 right

    For LG I missed 5 questions total and 60% of those incorrect answers took me less than a minute to get wrong. My takeaway from this would be don't rush, with extra time focus more on POE, and I need to keep foolproofing. What's especially odd is generally if you make a fundamental mistake you end up coming across an LG question where things just don't feel right, or you can POE all the answers, indicating you made a mistake in setup or rules. That didn't happen here so I need to find out what went on.

    This is a sample size of only 1 test so take this with a grain of salt. Hope you enjoyed the read

    Hello 7Sagers.

    I'm a current 1L student taking the regular curriculum, including legal reading, research, and writing. However, my course is taught poorly, I'm not learning as much as I would like, and I would like to drop my LRRW course.

    Is there any other school which would permit me to enroll only in LRRW while remaining at my current law school, such that I could transfer my LRRW credits from that school to my own? Obviously, the course would have to be offered online.

    Thanks in advance.
