Took a PT yesterday morning and scored my personal best, which I was super happy about, but then as the day went on, I just kinda became more and more jaded about it:

  • "Man it's gonna be so hard to get that score again on test day."
  • "August isn't going to be as easy bc they're going to beef up LR to make up for the lack of LG."
  • "ugggh I don't want to get back to studying because I know I'm not to going to immediately be as sharp as I was during that test."
  • -Almost feels like a "World Series hangover" if that makes any sense: people say that the records of teams who make the World Series sharply decline the next year (see: the Rangers and Diamondbacks' current records) bc it's just hard to get locked in for a regular season game in the middle of July after having constant adrenaline shots in the postseason.

    Can't tell if it's just the ebb and flow of general self-doubt involved in prepping for the LSAT or the washing out of the massive adrenaline associated w taking a PT and getting a really good score. Probably a bit of both. Just curious if anyone's ever noticed the same thing in their studies?

    I've been feeling like I was going to end up stuck in the 150s forever, after consistently scoring around 153-156 (I'm taking the August LSAT). I took a preptest today and ended up with a 164!!! I could not be happier, as my goal for the actual exam has been at least a 160- now it finally feels attainable :) time to keep drilling + aim for consistently scoring in the 160s!

    For this weakening question, I understand that I need to find evidence that points towards Neanderthals not being nomadic but I dont understand how the correct answer choice (Neanderthals saved gazelle teeth for use in religous rituals and later discarded them) helps prove that they are not nomadic.

    Your drill results should be reflected in your analytics. Potentially, they could come with a checkbox to include them, so users could continue to view analytics for just PrepTests, or decide to include the results of drills in their analytics along with the Preptests.

    I find it hard to accurately judge which questions I struggle on the most since the analytics only reflect questions taken in full PrepTests. If you are getting a question type wrong in drills and right in PrepTests, why should that data be left out? Adding a checkbox to include drill results would be the best of both worlds. You can see what you are getting wrong generally, with drills and Preptests, while also still being able to see only the types of questions you struggle on in actual testing environments.

    I understand that this is potentially something that could be harder to code on the site (really I have no idea, I don't know anything about computer science), but I think this could make the experience of using 7sage much better and lead to more accurate analytics if it has the option to include all the questions a user takes, whether drill or Preptest.

    I'm taking the august lsat and I'm so nervous! I've been drilling and taking practice tests. I'm improving on my drills, and I feel like I've gotten much better with eliminating answer choices, but I'm still stuck in the 150s. I really want to get into the 160s, but it's feeling less and less possible. Any advice? Or anyone in the same boat? :(

    I have (I wouldn't say crippling) horrible anxiety for 6 years as well as being tested for ADHD right now and have other health stuff. I just quit during a PT cause I was getting so frazzled and want to cry. My diagnostic was May 2 and I haven't even finished the core curriculum. My diagnostic was a 148 (I was impressed), did another first week of studying = 148, then I got a 142 and 145 after doing a lot more studying. [all of my tests I haven't guessed if I don't know an answer - I just leave it blank to see how many I'm actually getting write - but I also don't get to all of the questions - I can't answer the last passage and usually miss 3-5 LR] I feel like I'm watching law school slip through my fingers. If I don't study one day or only do a couple hours I feel guilty and am hard on myself for not being productive. I was working FT and went to PT to study and it is not paying off. I'm writing Oct 1 and 2.5 months is not enough - I don't neeedddd a 170 but I need to be able to get in and I really don't want to go to a law school outside of my city because of cost of living. Every day I get more anxious because I am not seeing any increase. I can't afford a tutor.

    Hello, I took my second prep test today and took the digital version from may 2020. However, I am taking the test in September after the logic games are removed, so I took it under the "current format" The test had three LR sections and one reading comprehension section.

    I am wondering how it works when obsolete tests are changed to current ones.

    I am also wondering if this affects the difficulty of the test as I have not studied even half of the LR question formats but I did ridiculously well, far better than my diagnostic test.

    Thanks for any feedback!

    I have clicked on the Section in the Test and am able to click on Printable. However, I do not get the buttoon to download a PDF version. I am taking the test on Paper and would liike to practice that way.

    I was wondering if in the drill settings, where we can customize and create our own drills, if there's an option where we could drill the questions we got wrong?

    I'm not sure if 7sage keeps track of every wrong question aside from those submitted in the preptests, but i feel like it would be helpful to be able to re-drill questions we've been answering wrong.

    Thank you!

    It looks like the drill function gives me the option to choose (for example) LR questions by Causal Reasoning. But when I click it, it has zero questions. Is this just me? Could this be fixed? It would be super helpful to drill causal reasoning LR types or conditional reasoning, etc. Thank you!
