Hello,

I really like the platform overall, but wish I could save answer choices in folders. There's some questions I wish to come back to or want to save for specific reasons, but I only have the option of pinning them.

I would really like a way to save questions in a more specific way so I could have a folder for myself with titles like "need to re-review" or "hardest conditional reasoning."

I mark questions in a book by hand that I would like to revisit but its really annoying to keep track of it this way, and once I do return to them its annoying to find them in the system using the drilling platform.

Hey,

I am starting to get back into my LSAT studying journey after taking a break from it for a while. I have gone thru the foundations portion and completed that. Right now doing LR and then RC.

Do you think it would be worth it taking the LSAT fundamentals class?

Has anyone taken the course before?

Thanks!!

I'm wrapping up my Master's degree and I have some extra space in my schedule next semester. I've been planning to take an easy, intro-level course in a subject outside of my degree to get myself to the full-time hour requirement, but I'm not sure how that will look to law schools. Do y'all think they'll view it as me slacking in my last semester? Should I add another graduate level course instead?

Hello, I have been reluctant in requesting my transcript from National Clearing House. When I input the mail address directly from the LSAC website it tells me the address cannot be found.

Has anyone used the email option from National Clearing House and was it accepted? I'm hesitant about the email option since it says it will send my transcript as a link... If you have please include what email you listed it being sent to!

Thank you!

Hey all! Just out of curiosity, where is everyone planning to apply and why? My top choice is University of South Carolina since I want to live there and the law school facilities themselves and faculty are amazing. But I went undergrad at University of Kentucky so I will be applying there too, as well as FSU since I am a Florida native and want to keep my options open. If anyone was looking at going to UK and has questions about the school or Lexington in general, or if you're like me and want to go to USC, feel free to reach out and DM me!

For those who have consistently achieved anything from -0 to -3 on RC, do you have any tips on approaching the most difficult questions of a section/passage under time constraints? On questions, I'll set a certain amount of time (e.g. 45 seconds) per question. On extremely tricky questions where I debate between 2 answers, I'll flag the question and move on if I run out of time. Typically, I'll be hyper attentive and look for a specific word that might help me eliminate an answer choice, but this doesn't always work (shoutout PT45 S2 P2 Q10 ugh). I'm currently averaging anything from -5 to -10 (a large range ik).

Is there anything specific you do while reading the passage that helps with the most difficult questions? Do you look back at the passage? Purely rely on memory and low-res? Does anything change in your approach when you're answering the last passage of a section, knowing that the questions will likely be more difficult?

Advice appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all,

I started studying for the LSAT about eight months ago, and I started seriously studying/taking PTs in the last four months or so. I have consistently faced the issue of not being confident enough whenever I am on timed sessions. I see myself changing my answers from correct to wrong answers on LR. I am current in the low 160s 161-164 range, and every time I BR, all the correct answers are so obvious. My BR is in the 170s. But whenever, it is under time, either I don't see the correct answers or I just get so fixated on the wrong answer. I also have had problems with except questions. I would think to myself that it is an except question, and then by the time I get to the last answer choice I just forget that I was dealing with the except question. Any advice on mechanisms/strategies on how to improve confidence/preventing careless answers? I have been trying to do some strategies like, pointing at ACs as I read through. My RC could also be better, like around -4. -5 right now. I get to -2 or 0 when I BR for RC. For RC, my main issue is with rushing the last paragraph when I get freaked out.

I was hoping to take the October LSAT, but it seems like I might have to withdraw and shoot for November. Any advice for whether or not I should sit for October? This is mainly also because I have taken it twice already and once canceled/ one in the 160s. Thank you.

I have been using the 7Sage course since August to study for the LSAT, and I am scheduled to take the exam in April. I wanted to know what other's study plan typically looks like? Just need some inspiration on how often I should be taking PT and drilling. I am still not completely done with the curriculum, but any advice is greatly appreciated

Hello. I just enrolled in 7Sage because I am having trouble breaking into the 170s. I usually score in the 160s-165s. I usually miss around 6 questions per LR section and 6 per RC section. I have an extremely good understanding of question types, conditional statements, common logical fallacies, etc and don't feel like I need to waste my time with understanding the basics again (I was enrolled in another prep course before this, which is where I learned all of it). However, I seem to get fairly easily tripped up over level 4-5 difficulty questions. How would one recommend studying with 7Sage for someone in my boat? Should I just do drilling exclusively with those difficult questions? Does someone have another approach that helped them break into the 170s that they wouldn't mind sharing? I take my exam for the third time in January of 2025. A recommendation of how I should approach studying for RC sections is also appreciated. Motivation is high but my confidence in breaking into the 170s is diminishing, unfortunately.

So I posted here before about the same problem, and I have basically found that in attempting to load the RC sections of a Preptest, I essentially get stuck loading it forever.

I have tried everything - trying different browsers, clearing cache, I even went so far as reinstalling my OS to see if that would fix it - and nothing worked.

A few folks from the 7Sage team have messaged me to support. I wanted to post this to get the attention of any other mods who could submit a technical ticket for me so that someone could maybe review any issues with my account.

A lot of the example interview questions I've seen online seem to overlap with some of the content covered in essays (why law? why now? etc). Are there any tips to bring up new information/not sound too redundant?

I have noticed that after my blind review of drilling Qs, timed sections, and full practice tests, the vast majority of questions I get wrong under timed conditions I get correct during my blind review (usually -4 or -5 to -1 during blind review). I am curious what aspects beyond time related factors are worth reviewing or examining in my wrong answer journalling of these questions, as when I do not have time constraints I confidently understand content of the questions and can determine the correct answer.

Are you sure?
