I took the LSAT earlier this year and scored in the low-170s. Concerned about the September LSAT due to how I felt on the test and a variety of personal factors. Should I purchase score preview so I can cancel?
I honestly wouldn't recommend this course, I began with an 145, I am about to take a prep test and I know for a fact that the instructors have confused me more than help me, just tell me why and which answer is correct not make me think why the other answers might be correct is annoying, I hightly regret taking this course
I'm still kinda on the sidelines about the enitre "going to law school" thing, and I just took my first full PrepTest with no practice/knowledge about the LSAT. I got a score of 163, and I was wondering if it would be worth for me to spend my time and energy on studying for the LSAT... I don't really want to take the exam multiple times, and I would preferably take the June 2026 exam.
Would it be unreasonable for me to shoot for a mid-170s for the June 2026 exam based on what I have right now?
I know that 176 is a great score, however before the test in June I had got 3/4 180s on PTs. I am a splitter for the T-14s (3.6 gpa, math major). I graduated back in 2021, so I think I count as non-traditional. I looked on the admissions predictor and a 180 vs a 176 could raise my chances by 10-20% at top schools. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I just started studying for the LSAT, and will take it in September. My diagnostic test was a 173, and my second prep test was 168. What's the best way for me to improve my score and my consistency? Does it make sense to go through the entire 7Sage curriculum, or should I skip the basics and just focus on my areas of weakness?
This recently tripped me up...
But just wondering what words or phrases in an RC passage would indicate that an author is neutral towards a particular subject/theory etc.
Hello, 7Sage team & fellow 7Sagers.
I have been utilizing the RC passage explanations and have been wondering what I am supposed to get out of them. It seems the level of detail you all go into is well beyond the level of detail we should be absorbing during our read through under time pressure.
In the lessons, we were given a somewhat different sort of break down where low res. summaries and predictions of the following paragraph content were discussed. I found this very helpful as a check on how I broke down the passage and utilized this analysis to answer the questions.
I realize that there is a passage summary underneath the video explanation, but again I am just confused on how these video explanations aid in our RC abilities.
I apologize if their usefulness is obvious to everyone else. I just felt the need to express my thoughts in a manner in which I could receive some feedback.
Thank you.
Can I cancel my mark after the scores are released?
Hi Sages,
I have a doubt regarding the order in which we should drill reading comprehension passages. Should we segregate easy, medium,hard passages from PT 1-35 ? Then first drill all the easy passages then move on to the medium level passages then finally take up hard passages ?What can be pros and cons of such a order? Pls advice. Thanks.
I live in Downtown LA and wanted to see if anyone wanted to meet up to study on weekends or even weekdays. We can do online too!
Hi! I'm in Stamford, CT, about 40 min from NYC and wanted to see if there was anyone in the area that is also studying for the June 2025 LSAT! Let me know - thank you!!
Passing down all of my LSAT books, including The LSAT Trainer, The Loophole, Powerscore LSAT Bibles, and the 5lb Manhattan Prep book, other LSAT Manhattan Prep books (Reading Comprehension & Logical Reasoning). Prefer pickup in New York—please message me for more details.
Looking for a few study partners, can be from anywhere, as I prefer zoom (I plan to take the LSAT in October 2024).
Like: no...unless...
So when did you all start taking the practice tests? Did you first finish the lessons then proceed onto the practice tests?
Please message me for more info if you'd like to join and you've not already received the info in your inbox. :)
If there's a 5/5 difficulty question that I get correct on my first try, should I make an effort to go over and identify/rule out the trap answers? I guess in a way I must have done that in my original answering. I worry that going over them more might make me more confused when my intuition/reasoning was right the first time. Thoughts? Is it worth doing to carry over?
so i'm aware there are a few older posts on here about this topic, but was hoping that someone could chime in with new advice...
i'm averaging around 170-173 on blind review pts, and about 92-100% on RC and LR drills with 25 questions/4 passages (sometimes ~88% for the harder ones). however, my scores before blind review tend to hover around 165-67. i know that these are, by no means, bad scores, but i do want a higher score on the actual lsat (sept 2024).
my biggest problem for rc is that i tend to miss essential parts of the passage (that i do not realize are essential until i get to the questions), and end up having to a) go way over time or b) only get to thoroughly read the passage during blind review.
for lr, i panic about the time and end up not selecting an answer i'm confident with until blind review.
i know that comparing timed/untimed scores is one of the main goals of blind review, so i guess i'm also just asking about how to balance time and thoroughness.
i don't know if i need to just keep drilling (though i feel like i'm burning through questions and pts) or if there's some other trick!!
any tips would be appreciated :)
I checked off the LGBTQ+ box in an app for UCI and mentioned that I was gay in my "Why X" essay. A few days after being admitted I received an email from a 1L who is apart of their LGBTQ club, saying welcome and feel free to ask me any qs if you would like to find out about my experience as a queer student at UCI.
I thought that was very sweet of the school to have that student email me. Have other schools done anything similar for you?
Wondering if anybody on here has just taken the Sept 2017 LSAT in Australia? It is different from the US version and hoping to gain any insight into the experimental sections/any general thoughts you had !
I had 3 LR so i know that my LG and RC were real.
From what i can remember:
LG1: One layer sequencing game
Had a Condition that M-W.
R either first or 6th
LG2: Something with artefacts
LG3:[completely skipped as pressed for time]
LG4: Double layer sequencing game
Buildings being erected either Upper or Lower (Buildings FGHI)
RC:
-reading about kente woven fabric
-reading about whether chemistry and physics are linked
-reading about law systems in UK and technology
Any info about how many questions were in each of your LRs would be super helpful!
Thanks :))))
I'm an idiot. I registered for the LSAT prior to the deadline for November. It asked for a photo and I just uploaded a selfie from a while ago because it was perfect - plain photo background, no shadows, etc. I began to read the requirements and I think I'm screwed. For starters, I lost about 25 pounds since then. Secondly, I shaved my beard about 3 weeks ago so it's not as full. Genuinely worried that my test is not even going to happen because I was being stupid and wasn't thinking carefully. The anxiety is officially through the roof. Not sure what to do.
When looking at the answer choices for SA questions would it be OK to immediately eliminate those that begin with only, always, no, etc.?

Choosing a law school is one of the hardest parts of the admissions process, not because you do not have options, but because you finally do. In this episode, @JacobBaska breaks down what it actually means to deposit, how that differs from enrolling, when it makes sense to ask for a deposit deadline extension, and how to think through waitlists, pending decisions, scholarship timing, and even the possibility of retesting or reapplying.
Jake also walks through the bigger-picture questions that should shape your final choice: rank, cost, scholarship money, job outcomes, geography, student culture, and whether a school genuinely feels like the right fit for your next three years and beyond. If you are staring at multiple offers, waiting on one last decision, or wondering whether it is okay to double deposit, this episode gives you a practical framework for making the call with confidence.
Hi Folks:
There's a good group of us 7 SAGERS who joined a whatsapp group chat. We're trying to organize a study group session for this Sunday, February 17th (5PM EST) on Skype.
The Idea behind the session will be a post Blind Review of PT 76 where we come together as a group to discuss questions we are having trouble with even after completing a blind review on our own.
I will also be hosting a bit of a review on the Strengthening/Justify the conclusion/Sufficient Assumption, Necessary Assumption Question types that appear on the LR as well there will be time set aside afterwards to discuss general issues/concerns we may be facing about the LSAT and the Law School application process.
I have posted the skype link below if you wish to join.
The Group Chat has been busy and I find it's a good way to stay motivated, share tips and just keep sane. Preparing for this test can be difficult so why not share the pain :P
