I’ve been stuck studying the LSAT for about 9 months now. I wasn’t preforming well the first 6 with the programs had so I switched to 7sage I’ve been PT’ing in the mid- high 140’s and definitely seen some improvement. However my goal is to break 150’s and apply in the fall. What are some tips/tricks yall have used to get you over that time edge? I have already registered for October and I plan on having that be my last exam since I’ll be working/studying for other exams.

Another concern of mine is this exam and being admitted. I’m not shooting for the stars and the schools I have are in the T100 region. I have all my other credentials in line such as a high gpa (Accounting 3.9), great LOR, and a lot of internship experience. The calculator seems to think I have a decent chance lol but was wondering if anyone has insight? Thanks.

Hi! Just a shower thought I had but, do some URMs get a higher boost in admission chances than other URMs? For example, would a Native American get a higher boost than someone who's Hispanic, or are all URM groups given the same boost?

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.

Cornell is currently my first choice and I am planning on applying early decision. My LSAT is at their median score, but my GPA is lower than Cornell's median (I have a 3.81). Will it be easier for an applicant like me to get accepted now that its ratings have dropped? What should I do to improve my chances?

I know that being part of and a leader in a community especially in undergraduate studies is something the law school admission bodies like, but Im unsure of whether to not add that I was a member of a fraternity or not. On the pro-keeping it side, I did have leadership roles both formal and informal within the fraternity, and was a part of an organization that enphasized philanthropic work, but on the cons side, being in a fraternity is something that im not sure whether these admissions bodies see negatively or not. On the anti-adding it side, the pro would be that it would be less likely hurt me whether my fraternity gets in trouble in the future or the admissions board is anti-fraternity, but on the cons side of this too, if I omit that I was a part of a fraternity, I dont really have anything else that ties my into a leadership role, member of the community, or a volunteer while in undergraduate life. What do you guys think I should do? Do admissions boards want to see a person add that theyre part of a fraternity or disassociate myself from it now before application time and my senior year commences.

im scoring in the 140 range on pts (both low and high) and plan on taking the LSAT in jan. call me crazy but i have already applied to canadian law schools so the jan test is my one and only try. high stakes.

anyone wanna team up and hold each other accountable by being study buddies? or in a study gc? 3+ is a crowd

Hey guys, I've just about finished going through the LSAT Trainer (2024 edition), and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts here have been regarding supplementary resources for 7sage in general. When I initially began my LSAT prep, I tried proceeding strictly with 7sage but I found myself getting a little all over the place. I think the LSAT Trainer was a decent starting point for structuring my LSAT self-study and prep; I think I'm going to be able to utilize 7sage a lot more efficiently moving forward. That said, I still wouldn't be surprised if anyone thinks there are better supplementary resources out there. What do you guys think?

Looking to create study session in Indianapolis Area or surrounding Counties students looking to take the LSAT in 2025. Meeting are in public places have alot of materials to assist us in our LSAT PREP!!

I have a discord link I'm going to post, just need more people who will sit down and just help keep each other accountable.

Hey 7Sagers!

My name is Jake Baska and I'm one of the admissions consultants here at 7Sage. Just FYI that I'll be doing an AMA tomorrow on the Law School Admissions sub-Reddit over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/new/. It'll be from 11AM - 1PM Eastern. Come on by, ask a few questions, maybe give my ridiculous gif-game a kind upvote, etc.

Hi guys, September test date approaching and getting extremely anxious. This is first time I'm taking LSAT, I need a 160. I've been PTing and my lowest 2 were 157 & 159, then mostly 160-161. For those that have taken it, have you found that PT genuinely reflect the real score? Or does your real score turn out higher or lower than what you were normally expecting?

Did 7sage somehow update or change their "Preptest Sections to show" part of their drilling mode? I'm so confused. For a long time the sections were divided into four drilling modes: "Core curriculum" and then three other sections of prep tests. Now it has four sections different from before: "Recommended for PTs", "Used in Core Curriculum", "Recommended for PTs", and "All Prep Tests (101-158)". I was keeping track of my progress and what I had gotten done the way it was previously set up. I was working my way through all of the core curriculum drills. Now, some of these drills are either all gone or have a bunch new added. This is kind of annoying? It's all differently organized now and I can no longer tell which levels of difficulty from which section (RC or LR) I've completed. Did I press something to make it appear this way or is this a new update that will permanently stay?

Hello. This is my first post here.

I studied for three years a Dual Degree in Law and Political Science in my home country Spain; left unfinished because I moved to the USA. Then, once in the USA, I applied for a private school, undergrad (Green Card holder - I am, thus, not an "international student"). After one year and a half, my family could not handle the burden of increasing debt, so I transferred to a more affordable school option. I have two semesters (one year, obviously) left.

My question is: when applying to Law School, will LSAC include my grades from Spain in order to calculate the GPA? According to the LSAC: "... LSAC makes no attempt to assess the value of grades earned at different colleges (outside the US/Canada system)".(https://www.lsac.org/applying-law-school/jd-application-process/cas/requesting/transcript-summarization).

I know that LSAC requests all transcripts from undergraduate, so of course they will be getting the transcript from Spain; however. The question is not about the transcript, but rather about the grades, are these grades, earned abroad, counted or not?

The school I am at now does report earned Spanish credits, but does not include the grades to my GPA.

I honestly hope these Spanish grades do not count because I did better in the USA than in Spain...

Thank you.

Looking for a study buddy for January LSAT! Message me.

I recently created an online LSAT study group which is pretty active! We talk a lot about conditional logic and have study groups all the time. I’ll post the link here in case anyone else wants to join. No reason anyone should have to study the LSAT alone right?

Does anyone know how to indent bullets and or numbered lists via keyboard shortcut on 7sage? When I try to indent/nest my points using the Tab key, the input focus just tabs over to the "Save" button field. Does anyone know how to get around this? If there are any resources listing keyboard shortcuts specifically for using keyboard shortcuts in the Lesson Notes sections of Unit Lessons and Explanations, please drop a link in the comments. Thanks y'all!

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.

Prior to PSA while going through the content I was fairly confident in my try it yourself question answers and was getting them right a high percentage of the time. However since SA I have been struggling on these questions and am getting fairly easy questions wrong. I realize that I am also unable to identify wrong answers as easily as the previous questions types and just wanted to ask if anyone had any tips on how I could do better on SA, NA, AP, MoR, and Flaw.

Hi gang,

I have been trying my best to implement a low-res summary approach to my RC passages. However, I find that taking time to perform these low res summaries takes some precious time away from actually answering questions. Is one word sufficient enough for something like a low res summary? Any tips out there for time reduction?

Sincerely,

Your Friendly LSAT Studier

Hi everyone. I apologize in advance if this question has already been addressed, as it likely has, but I haven't found enough information to fully determine what I should do about the lower LSAT score I received today.

Regrettably, I have taken the LSAT 6 times this past year (this fact itself might require an addendum). Despite going overboard and being generally impatient, my trajectory has been a good one, at least until today: cancellation > 163 > 164 > 169 > 171 > 166. To my eyes, the 166 completely devalues the 171 that I had just a month before. And yet I've resolved to not cancel the score. Instead, I've been considering bringing up the drop in score in an addendum. However, I'm not confident that the explanation, reasonable as it is to me, is good enough to warrant an addendum. I was just feeling a ill the morning of the exam and my brain fogged a lot more than usual. Panic also set in when I realized that I couldn't focus on the exam at all. Alternatively, I could just not bring up the drop in score at all and to not shine any undue spotlight onto it. Mostly, I want the adcoms to know that I feel that the upwards trend truly represents my abilities, not the one blip at the end of it. But I worry that stating it so baldly without good reason might do my application a disservice. Any thoughts?

Thank you for any help you might have.
