I was wondering if anyone would share how they are using the Digital Tester to PT with 5 sections if they are even able to? I assume it would be pretty valuable to be able to PT with 5 sections using the digital tester without knowing which section isn't scored at the time of PTing. Thanks!

I took an untimed written test about 10 times just to get a feel of the lsat before I got into 7sage. My first score was a 141, then in chronological order I scored a 143, 146, 148, then a 155. I switched to 7sage to do my first timed practice test and scored a 146, my second timed test is a 149, and I plan to take another one next weekend. I just wanted to see if I'm behind with my scores, I did notice a jump in my first two attempts of taking the LSAT. Also, does anyone else see an improvement on scores when switching from digital to a written portion? Asking because I have ADHD, and sometimes I feel like I do better on the written version of the LSAT in contrast to the digital version.

Thanks!

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 wanted to suggest adding a way for users to see their overall average time spent per question for Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension across all drills and practice.

Ideally, this could appear in the analytics section alongside existing stats like total questions attempted, accuracy, questions answered per day, average scores, etc. Having an overall average time per question would make it much easier to track pacing improvement over time and understand how close a user is to test-day timing.

It could also be very helpful to break this timing data down by question difficulty (Levels 1–5). Seeing average time by difficulty would allow users to identify whether they are spending too much time on easier questions or over-investing in higher-difficulty questions, which directly relates to pacing and skip strategy under timed conditions.

Since 7Sage already tracks both question difficulty and time spent on individual questions, this would be an aggregate view of data that’s already being collected. I think it would be a useful addition to the analytics tools, especially for students like myself who are working to improve their timing.

Thanks for considering this.

I had a question for people who are applying as a STEM Major who are in a similar position as me. I finished college with a 3.77 GPA and a chemistry degree. However, I am not great at standardized tests, and before taking the actual test, am guessing I will score roughly 155 on the test based on PT's. I believe this is considered a "reverse splitter" applicant. I wanted to know if you are similar to myself, if you were accepted anywhere and what scholarship offers you have been getting? Also if there are any schools that look more favorably upon reverse splitters. Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!!!

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.

Hello All,

I am sitting for the July LSAT and I had two questions for everyone.

For those who have sat in the past, what method did you find most effective after you have exhausted most PTs with thorough BR? I have four PTS left and I am scoring where I want to. I understand that there is less than a month until the July exam and I want to avoid burnout, but I am also worried about becoming too relaxed and not staying on top of my studies, so I am conflicted on the best approach I should take regarding my study habits during the next few weeks.

For those sitting for the July exam, what strategy are you employing as we wind down the days until the exam?

All feedback is extremely helpful! Sending good vibes to all July testers! Thanks.

Am still studying for the December re-sit and plodding through the materials. But I want to drop in a quick line to say Thank You JY and team!! you guys are brilliant!! I wish I had bought the paid course for my June LSAT prep. Unfortunately, I had connectivity issues at my apartment and chose against buying a course purely for that reason which I sincerely regret now coz it feels like a lot of wasted effort. The powerscore bibles were my companions and were a great introduction but nowhere close to how good the 7sage curriculum is!!! not even close!!

loving the curriculum, loving the presentation, enthused by the rigour of the content and the connected community....loving it all as a whole.....feel way more confident now....i used to take the PT's and have this horrible feeling of never knowing for sure how I did....was never very sure of myself....

simple concepts like validity were left vague in the powerscore bibles leaving one craving for clarity.....

miles to go before i sleep.....but can't help feeling confident from within and more sure footed....perhaps ignorance is bliss and maybe it's because I still have a lot of material to cover....

investment in the course feels worth every penny....

love u guys and a BIG THANK U!!

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

    I was hoping someone can help me clarify this. So, I just bought the score preview option and i was under the impression that i just had to do it before my test release date (feb 3). But, after seeing that it allowed me to purchase it i just checked lsac website and it says the deadline to purchase score preview was yesterday. Im just wondering why it would process my order . was it a glitch ? or am i really signed up for it ?

    I am looking to have a virtual study group for at least 2 hours tomorrow. Game plan is to work on a set of questions slowly and thoroughly, and then test what we learned with a drill set. Focus will be flaw and weaken questions!

    Looking for a small group of 2-3 people, 2-4pm EST.

    Happy Labour Day yall.

    So i have the premium pack now, but i will take the test on September which will be digital. So i want to upgrade to ultimate which has up to PT 71. However, is ultimate+ (which has PT 80+) worth it since it has the latest PTs? or there isn't much difference between ultimate and ultimate+?

    I've been out of school for 3 years. Going to law school only became a goal of mine my last semester of college. I ended up getting 5 academic recommendations the summer after graduating just so I'd have them on file when I was 100% secure in the decision to go to law school and likely rack up debt. Since I've heard academic letters are preferred to non-academic, I never really thought about getting one from work because I already have more than I can submit to any single school. Should I be getting one from an employer?

    For some context on the letters I have, two are by STEM professors (I double majored in STEM & non-STEM), one is from a non-STEM professor, and two are from non-STEM professors who were also my thesis advisors and law professors at my undergrad's law school.

    Since graduating I've worked at two law firms and am about to switch to a third firm. The areas of law I've worked in are pretty relevant because they all combine my interest in law, technology, and science in different ways: my first job was as a legal assistant/paralegal at a boutique firm representing start ups and individuals in IP (mostly trade secret) litigation, my second job has been at a boutique criminal defense firm representing clients facing computer crime charges, and my third job will be as a patent litigation paralegal in big law.

    Even if I get rec letters from employers which letters should I submit given that most schools accept 2-4?

    I feel like my STEM LORs help me stand out, especially because one is from a professor whose lab I worked in and co-authored a peer-reviewed scientific article with. My thesis advisors have a really great picture of why I want to go to law school because my honors thesis empirically studied an area of patent law I'm pretty passionate about (and about to work in w/my third job).

    One of the ways that I study for reading comp is downloading scholarly articles off of my university's database. I was wondering if there was any way that I could upload those documents to 7sage's digital tester, or if I could even download the digital tester as an app or toolbar of some sort so I can mark up the articles similar to how I would for the actual test. Also, I am open to suggestions with note taking sites or apps that could serve a similar function and have a similar feel to the digital test. Thank you!

    Hey all! I have a friend who is in the process of transferring law schools and could use some advice from the 7sage community. Anything would help, here it is:

    Hello, I was accepted at UCLA and Northwestern as a transfer; i.e., I will be paying sticker at both, but if I go to UCLA I will not have to take out any loans (savings). I will have to take out loans for the last year at Northwestern (80k).

    If, ideally, I want to work in SoCal BigLaw, what would be the smarter course of action: attending UCLA or Northwestern?

    After performing a basic cost-benefit analysis, I am leaning towards UCLA, on the theory that the benefit of attending Northwestern (ending up at median and still getting BigLaw) has largely disappeared, while the benefit of attending UCLA (attending school and networking in my target market) is still in play. Further, the cost of attending UCLA (the risk of ending up at median and doing poorly at OCI for that reason) has already dissipated, while the cost of attending Northwestern (taking out loans for the last year) is still in play.

    Given my SoCal focus and above-median grades (top 25% at BC/BU), I don't see much of a benefit to attending Northwestern, other than the added prestige of being in the T14 as opposed to the T20. Are there factors I'm missing here?

    Said another way, will I see any meaningful boost in SoCal employment prospects by going to Northwestern, or will my top 1/4 GPA at BC/BU be sufficient at UCLA for my OCI process to be similar as between both schools (if I am targeting SoCal biglaw). I am thinking that at this point my OCI process will be the same at both schools and that it will really come down to my interviewing skills. If so, I don't see a point to take out loans to attend Northwestern.

    Thanks for your responses! I’ve attached a poll below as well.

    Hey fellow LSATers!

    I am a college student applying this cycle and taking the Nov test. I am in school full time but whenever study whenever I have free time/in between classes/on weekends. I am responsible, prompt and motivated and this is going to be my last shot before I send in all my apps to law schools in December.I'm looking for anyone interested in meeting online and talking over some PTs/ analyzing questions together. We can also go through strategies/tips/tell each other not to get burnt out during this painful process. Please DM me if interested ^^ !

    I am really confused as to why A is correct.

    I saw this question as a RRE Q (Resolve, reconcile, explain). Here we have all people of this country approving legislation requiring that certain hazardous wastes be disposed of by being burnt in modern-high temperature incinerators. But there is push back (not getting the building permits) from every Gradaran community that the waste disposal plans to build these incinerators.

    I took this as they are trying ot build the incinerators and the push back has to be due to something that the incinerators do. Maybe like pollution. So I am just unsure how A is correct.
