Hello All! I'm wondering if it's not recommended to skip through the curriculum? For example- I'm at strengthening Questions now on the Syllabus, but I'm feeling really antsy about the fact that I've done no logic games prep. Would skipping to logic games and coming back to the rest of the curriculum above hurt me in some way? Thank you!

Hey everyone! I just started using the blind review method and it has been really helpful in helping me see where my mistake in reasoning was. With that said, I wanted to know what the blind score shows? Is it simply what would we have gotten if we selected the new answer choices originally or is it showing the potential range we can be scoring in? Thanks in advance!

Even though I had written close to 39 prep tests, I did feel much more nervous on the actual LSAT. And I tried to keep as calm as I could by relaxing and doing fun things on the day before but I realized it's hard not to be nervous. For people like me, who have wanted to become a lawyer since they were 10, the LSAT pretty much determines whether you make it or not. You try to forget it but it's really something you can't get rid of completely. That being said, I didn't lose my head, and kept as calm as I could I be. I think my adrenaline rush helped me go faster and I finished the reading comp and first logical reasoning with 5 minutes to spare. And I also finished the logic games and second logical reasoning without feelings of impending doom.

Overall feelings:

The reading comprehension: the first passage was easy, second was by far the most difficult and the other two were okay.

Logical Reasoning: the first was pretty easy, the second was tough, many questions I had to really think about and make an educated guess.

Logic games: not as easy as I expected, time consuming, had to do a lot of brute forcing, and last game I ran out of time so guessed last 2-3 questions.

All in all, it wasn't terrible, no surprises, and I felt it went okay. I wasn't coming out of the exam crying, or wanting to cancel it. BUT I can't tell you for the life of me of what my predicted score could be. I just have no idea. Is this normal ?! And do people who scored in the 160's and 170's

ever feel this way after their exam. ( I was scoring high 160s and even a 170 the day before the exam).

Hey,

I took the test 2 years ago. I'm studying to retake it in December for reasons.

This is for the few people out there who think they BLEW THE TEST UP!!! I really hope you did!

On the day of the test I felt like I aced the test. I was confident going in and not surprised by any thing. Walking out I thought I did better than I ever did before. For the days leading up to getting my score I was getting really excited expecting to see something crazy ( for me ) like a high 160 or a 170+!

Result:

I got a point higher than what I had been scoring on my PT's. I felt really bad about that score. But now I look bad and realize 1) What was I expecting? 2) That score was pretty good. 3) If I wasn't going to be happy with my score I should have pushed it back and studied more until my PT's were higher.

So for those who think they did awful and for those who think they did amazing. The LSAT is really accurate and you probably scored very close to what you've been scoring. So relax and don't get a big head like I did.

I wish you all the best.

I have already taken the June LSAT and I scored below my average. I then continued to study and have used most of the material availiable. I felt great during the test, but is lost my composure during the games and ended up guessing on about 7-8 questions. Pretty ridiculous because I felt great about my test up to that point. And games were usually my strong point. I don't know what happened but I just got stuck and lost track of time. What should I do going forward? I just don't see if I was to try and get ready for a future lsat how I would go about it seeing how I've already used all of the 60-70 PTS and a majority of 40-50s over the last 8 or so months. Just sit back and hope for the best or...? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi guys, I took my first LSAT this past Saturday aiming to break 170, but realistically, I think I probably scored more within the low-mid 160s. My target schools are Berkeley, UCLA, and NYU. I'm planning to retake the LSAT in December and I'm hoping to get in my application by the end of October. My question is whether it's better to apply with a cancelled LSAT score or whether it's better to apply with a low LSAT score (as compared to the medians at those three schools). Are there any disadvantages of applying with a low LSAT score? Will they not consider my application because of the low score? My GPA is 3.7 and I'm an international student (Canada), if that information is relevant. Thank you in advance for your help!

So I took the LSAT this past summer for the first time and got a 153. Not where I wanted to be but I am also not looking to go to t14 schools anyway. I knew I could improve so I went to take todays LSAT. I have been practicing and reviewing for awhile and was scoring in the range of 157-159 which is more where I thought I would be maybe low 160's. My worst section by far is RC and it was wrecking my score (would miss around 10-13 every time. So today I go into take the test and during my RC section the instructor told us 5 min early that we only had 5 minutes remaining. I was on my 3 article and rushed through it cause I thought I was short on time. I completely rushed my reading and without really comprehending it I rushed the questions and pretty much guessed. Once those "5 min" were up they announced that they messed up and we actually have 5 min more still left. I was furious and ended up not even trying to go back, them messing up the time really screwed me and my worst section of RC.

So this brings me to really my question. Is the December LSAT too late? I am debating canceling my score which I would believe is around 153-155ish (Think I did good on 2 of the 3 LR and pretty good on LG. MY score could be as high as 156 if the LR I think I did worse on was experimental)and taking the DEC LSAT. I was all prepped to apply to the schools I want, with most applications already done because I heard to apply early as possible. My target schools all have median lsat of around 158-161. I don't know what I should do. I am pissed/ devastated to think this one slip up by a proctor could cost me going to the law school. (I really wanted to go next year with no break between undergrad)

Hello, I live in Seattle, Washington and am looking for someone to study with!

Taking the December LSAT with the intention of crushing it. Working on weekends but free from Monday-Thursday.

Let me know!

I have been trying all day to upgrade to a paid package, but every time I try to pay, I am unable to do so. I enter my name and e-mail address and then click on the button that says "Enter Payment Information", then it thinks for a little bit, but then nothing happens. I contacted Stripe Support because when I tried to use my phone to pay, I got an error message after pressing the same button that said I needed to send an e-mail to Stripe Support. So I alerted them to the issue and they wrote back saying that this was an issue with 7Sage and that I should contact you.

I live in Bolivia. Could this be the issue? Are people with IP addresses from outside of the U.S. unable to purchase a 7Sage course? Please respond as soon as possible because I would like to start my course!

I don't want to get ahead of myself. But I just finished up taking the LSAT and feel pretty confident about it. Screwed up a tidge during the games, but nothing too crazy. (Got preoccupied and ran out of time, had to guess on the last 4). But I felt great during LR, and RC didn't seem to be that different either. I'm hoping all goes as planned, I end up with the score I've been getting during my PTs and I leave this test in the dust, BUT... in the slim chance that the games ends up coming back to haunt me my question is where do I go from here? I have taken the majority of the tests 50-70 and scattered tests from 20-40 throughout my studies and preparing. (I started studying last March). So my question is where would I start IF I need to retake? Am I getting to ahead of myself? I figured if that does happen I would opt to wait until Feb instead of rushing it in Dec. right after I get my score. What are your thoughts on this? How could I continue after close to 9-10 months of using so much material? Any input or ideas that you guys have if you have seen this scinero before would be awesome. Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed elsewhere! I looked but couldn't see anything.

My question is, are you restricting your timing when practicing RC questions, or are you just timing yourself to see when you're finished? I have been restricting my time between reading the passage (and summarizing as I go), then restricting the time again to writing a summary for each paragraph and the overall summary, and restricting my time to answering the questions.

J.Y. said to not restrict your time too much when first practicing... maybe 12 minutes for harder passages. But it's hard to set up a timer if you don't know how hard the passage is before you read it. That's why I'm wondering if people have been just marking down how long it took them, but not actually setting a timer.

Thank you for your input! I like reading how other people are practicing.

I joined 7Sage 10 days ago and am planning on taking the LSAT in Dec. Beginning to feel overwhelmed with the schedule. I am aiming to take ~29 PT before that. Is my goal too ambitious? I am not working and am studying full time. I feel like I'm getting bogged down trying to complete all the relevant problems. Maybe it will be best to push test back to February, in order to build a solid foundation...Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated!

Hi,

Reading Comp is my weakest link. I have a lot of room for improvement and I was wondering if you guys could share your strategies (of course successful ones). I try to usually follow the VIEWSTAMP method (views, structure, author's view, and main point), but that seems to get me 65-70%.

Hi all, I took the June LSAT & got 155. I knew I hadn't prepared enough so I signed up fro September and have been studying A LOT. My scores have been consistently 160, 161 and the day before yesterday I scored 164. I took a prep test this morning and scored 153! I'm wondering if I should take another one today or tomorrow, or just let my brain rest. My friends are telling me I am burnt out and need to relax, but going into the real LSAT with my last practice test being a 153 is super scary. What do you guys think? Have any of you had this happen and then bounce back on LSAT day?

Thanks all advice is appreciated :)

I took the September LSAT, I wish I watched this video before I took the LSAT. It is pretty perfect in describing the experience.

Hi,

I used to be on this forum a lot, and thought I'd check in and see how everyone is doing. I hope everyone did well on the recent LSAT!

just a quick question for you guys. i really appreciate any feedback

i just took the sept lsat, but I am thinking about taking the dec. test as well. I was wondering if i have to cancel my sept score in order to take the dec test. I am nor nervous about, nor will I be disappointed in, my score as I am proud of the preparation that I did for the past few months. that being said, I am trying to be as realistic as possible and believe that test day jitters got the best of me; I do not think that I am going to hit my PT/target score. I literally felt like I could take another test the same day and hit that mark no problem lol.

I would certainly like to see how I did and want to make sure that if I cancel, I wont lose that chance. Also, any opinion you have on taking multiple tests in terms of how that is perceived by admissions offices would be greatly appreciated as well!

thanks in advance for all of the help!

So I am filling out my applications right now and I came across the scary 2 questions:

1)Have you ever been subject to a dismissal, a suspension, probation, an accusation of misconduct, a probable cause hearing, the lowering of a grade, or any other academic or social sanction by a high school, college, university, professional school, or professional association?

and

2)Have you ever, including when you were a juvenile, been formally or informally detained, restrained, cited, summoned into court, taken into custody, arrested, accused, charged, convicted, placed on probation, placed on supervision, or forfeited collateral in connection with any offense against a law or an ordinance?

I am really nervous about these because they sound so serious and I can't 100% say no the them and not sure what to do....here is my situation:

1) In highschool a parent of an athlete from our rival school in the state football championship went on facebook and found 100's of pictures from over 200 students in my class and sent them to the principal in the mail on a disc. The moms goal was to get our football guys suspended before the state championship that weekend. The pictures were of hundreds of kids in different social situations hanging out and in the pictures were either red solo cups, lighters, etc. random stuff. I was in one of the pictures smiling NEXT to a person who was drinking from a red solo cup. The principal called me in and asked if the people in the pic next to me were drinking alcohol, I said to my knowledge there was alcohol there but I was not drinking. Which is true, I am 24 now so I really don't care anyways if I was, but I wasn't. I was very straight edged in high school. Anyways, I got suspended because I admitted to being around alcohol at a school function (it was a picture at a football game).......is this something I have to say? It is kind of odd and random and really stupid.

Also after my second semester of undergrad, I was put on academic probation because I left halfway through the semester for personal and family reasons. I got back in school the next semester and finished my degree all the way through without any breaks.

2) I had 2 underage drinking tickets in the very beginning of my undergrad days. Even though I blew like a .04 both times, because I was under 21 they were still drinking tickets. I wasn't driving, nothing illegal on me, no issues with the cops or anything. Did not even have to go to court, just paid $200 and that was it. I don't even think they are in the Wisconsin records. Do the schools still have a way to look these up if they were never even put into a record? How do people word these things on applications? Don't want to lie or do anything to get in trouble. All minor, minor stuff but it can still look bad I guess. Hate that I have to click "yes" to these questions over such minor things.

Anyone else in the same boat or have any thoughts? Thanks!

I started with a 141 diagnostic, and with the help of 7sage, I have gone up to a 163 as my highest so far, after 4 months of studying. I am thankful for the improvement, but I have a ways to go because my target is 165-167 for Canadian schools. My marks went from being all over the 150s, to stabilizing at around low 160s just last week. Weakest section would have to be LR as I can get up to 10 wrong on an individual LR section (flaw being my weakest point). LG and RC are better for me.

The past 2 weeks have been PT-ing every other day, and blind reviewing on off days + just going over questions I did wrong using JY's video explanations. That's about it. I feel like my study plan needs major tweaking because I feel like I'm rushing through too many PTs without REALLY making improvements on weak areas (although doing many PTs has helped greatly with timing). Should I go back to lessons more, and review wrong questions more than once?. I read in other threads that some people would cut out LR questions they got wrong and to review them often. How do people go about reviewing their mistakes, and how often should I do it? Any studying tips/plans to make big improvements in LR? Thank you in advance :)

My stack of books and stuff is several feet high (I'm sure you guys know how that is). It's gotta go somewhere.

...so I want to have an awesome bonfire and burn it all. Not in a hateful way. Just in a nice, if I never see you again that will be fine way.

Of all the timed PTs I did (ranging from 164-171), the actual LSAT ended up being the worst one!! My brain was just completely paralyzed during BOTH of the LG sections!

I hope none of you messed up like I did. Good luck to you all!

So, I've been prepping to take the test in December in London (U.K.). I've heard speculation, rumor, whispers of death by way of anxiety, and general worry over whether the U.S. and outside the U.S. LSAT is different. I'd prefer to be prepping towards the correct LSAT and am hoping someone can confirm with some factual information as to whether the tests are actually different (asides from that the U.K. is undisclosed). Please drop your knowledge below.

I did push ups before my exam

Is the LSAT administered outside the US (like in the UK) different from the US one?

So I know that one of the two logic games sections I did is the experimental section. But here's the rub... I rocked one of the sections and the other one was pretty hard. I counted up the question totals for each of the sections. With the section I did well, the test had 101 questions. For the one I did poorly on, it was 99. Does this matter? I see conflicting things online. Obviously, I will have to wait until the 22nd to see my score, but I'd like to know what to expect if possible....
