Just a suggestion to improve 7Sage: there should be a link to the old PT's explanation page for each question! I often rely on the comments to really solidify my understanding and it would be good if they were integrated into the new format explanations somehow!

Anyone else agree?

Remember in "Some and Most Relationship" lesson, JY mentions that "some" and "many" can be used interchangeably because they both have subjective definition. Then how about "few"? Can I treat "few" as same as "some" and "many" since it's also has a subjective definition? Then when I negate it it would be "none" correct? Thanks everyone!!! :D

    Hello all,

    It’s safe to say that my GPA isn’t the greatest, and it’s mediocre at best. I finished college with a 3.3 GPA in Political Science, albeit with an upward trend where I was on academic probation the first year of college. I am hoping to achieve a 160 on the LSAT with one year of studying. Does anyone else have a similar GPA with a success story? I’m really hoping I am not putting in work to realize that my chances at law school are bleak. I know the acceptance predictor exists, but I have a hard time believing how accurate it is.

    Thanks everyone

    Throughout my time studying for the LSAT, drafting my law school application materials, and simply trying to find the motivation to continue on when the going got rough, I feel like I need to share my journey to law school story with others on here who may be experiencing the same things I once felt. I found these post to be extremely helpful when I was going through every stage of applying to law school, so hopefully this will help someone else too!

    Over the past two years I have spent hundreds of hours studying for the LSAT, taking it a whopping four times, to only score a 158 on my highest attempt. Don't get me wrong, this is a GREAT score, so please do NOT feel discouraged if you are scoring in this range! I am grateful for this score, however, I feel like it did not display my true academic, or LSAT potential. Unfortunately for me, I ran into countless difficulties every time I took the test. Whether it was issues with proctors interrupting and closing out my test, unable to access the online exam, and even having my wifi cutting out during the exam, I believed these issues played a big role in me not being able to perform to my test average and because of this I felt like I was not going to get into the schools I was hoping for, let alone with a scholarship.

    In November I finished up applying to all the law schools I was interested in (about 15), most of which my LSAT was below the 50th percentile, even the 25th for some. But regardless of my LSAT score, I was confident in my application as a whole and knew that deep down my GPA, resume, and essays had a good shot at making up for my LSAT score. I believed in the quality of my application and I was hopeful that the admissions committee would see this as well.

    As of today, I have received my first FULL RIDE scholarship to a T-30 school where I was below the 25th percentile for the LSAT. Even without this full ride offer, I have been accepted into many good schools with great scholarship offers. Had I listened to reddit or others on the internet who told me to not even bother applying, I would have found myself in a very different situation.

    I'm writing this all to say please do not give up or count yourself out, regardless of what others have to say. Shoot your shot and don't tell yourself no, let the school tell you no. Hopefully this is motivating for those who find themselves in a similar situation. If anyone wants to know more about my LSAT/application process please feel free to message me!

    Hi all,

    If you're interested in joining an LSAT study group (currently about 6ish of us who are consistent) where all we do is co-work on Discord, keep each other accountable via imessage and support each other message/ or comment below!

    This isn't meant to be a study group where we review questions and Blind Review, but rather an accountability group for people, specifically first-gen/POC/"nontraditional folks" who struggle to keep a consistent schedule and need a little more support.

    If you are the type of person that loves hyping/supporting other people and appreciates words of encouragement this is the group for you :)

    LSAT Accommodations

    So I'm registered to take the August LSAT and as I'm studying I've noticed it's more helpful to either be able to read it aloud or be able to have a physical copy in front of me. I assumed writing the LSAT in person in a writing centre meant it would be a pen-and-paper test however I just found out you'd still be writing it digitally. I have since decided I prefer to write it in person in a writing centre and would prefer a pen and paper test however, looking at the LSAC website I will need to apply for accommodations.

    My questions now will follow: (1) do I have enough time to apply for accommodations and still be approved before having to write the LSAT in August? and (2) I don't have any disability/ diagnosis I notice that it helps me better understand what's being said, do I have to apply for accommodations with a Qualified Professional form?

    In other words, is the only way to get this accommodation through having a diagnosed disability?

    Thank you!

    I'm signed up for August, planning to kick it to September.

    Anyone know what the difference is between (1) paying to sign-up for September today, and withdrawing for August, and (2) letting the September deadline pass today, and changing my August test date before exam day? It seems like you pay the same amount regardless. I'm wondering if you get a 'Candidate Cancel/Withdrawn' on your record in one scenario vs. the other?

    Here's the test change policy: https://www.lsac.org/LSATdates/what-do-if-youre-unable-take-lsat/test-date-changes

    Hi!

    I'm planning on taking the August LSAT but my study plan has not been the greatest due to balancing a full time job and online classes. I am also registered for the October test and hoping to break the 170s by then.

    My diagnostic was a 156 but have been able to score in the mid 160s since then with my best one being a 168.

    Looking for someone that will be a good accountability partner especially when it comes to practice tests!!

    I have a subscription with 7Sage & was able to link my account since I got this account in June. But now it's saying I have to purchase another subscription?? I have been able to access drills since the beginning but, today it's giving me issues. Can someone assist me with this issue?

    Hello everyone,

    After reading the LSAC page on the LSAT writing section, it mentions that I will be able to write my essay beginning at least 8 days prior to my in-person or virtual test date. However, everywhere online, I hear of people saying that anyone can write their essay after their test day. Is this true? Where do I find this information?

    How do I skip questions

    I often run into questions I have already seen on LawHub when doing drills. I would like to skip them, but if I don't provide an answer then these questions are added to questions I got wrong. Is it possible to skip questions?

    0

    So I have identified a problem that I have no idea how to approach. In any given section, I will miss 4 questions. However, I've found that I always know the questions I'm going to miss in advance and that I typically end up overthinking problems that are not realistically complex (3s or 4s). How do I stop myself from second-guessing the complexity of the question and trying to outsmart the test writers? How do y'all convince yourselves that you are right on questions that seem like they are blatantly attempting to trick you, especially considering the time-constraints?

    Just got my first 180!

    First PT was a 164, then a 168 - was stuck in the mid 160s for awhile, then broke through to low 170s, then mid 170s then just today I got a 180.

    Feels really good although I want to keep drilling to ensure that my real score lands somewhere close to this.

    What are your best tips for mastering conditionals? I have been PTing much better than I was when I started studying but I am noticing trends in my NA/SA questions being incorrect, as well as a good deal of questions that involve condtional reasoning. I don't find the videos are too helpful in explaining why the wrong answers are wrong vs simply why the correct one is correct... SOS!!

    Any advice

    I am planning on taking the November LSAT and I have been scoring in the 150's on practice tests, is it possible for me to get in the high 160's by November? Not to mention I have no commitments work or school wise, so I have all day and time to study up until test dates. Any advice or takes?

    Hi, I noticed in my analytics I was struggling with Math questions. It seems to be a new subject on 7Sage as I noticed the option was added in drills recently. I have tried drilling these, but I haven't noticed any similarities between the questions that could constitute this concept. I was hoping someone could give me insight on what Math questions are.

    Any advice

    Any advice or insight on breaking out of the high 150s low 160s? Last 5 PTs taken weekly have been 160, 162, 160, 158, and 158. Been going through the curriculum blind reviewing and reviewing PTs the next day. Also haven’t started studying reading comprehension nor do I review it during the review process of the test. Looking to take in September and trying to get 165+

    Hi! I am deliberating upon whether I should take the September or October LSAT. I've taken the test twice. In January 2024, I took the test with a fever and scored in the high 160s. In June 2024, I took the test on three hours sleep and scored a 170. As such, I feel like I still have some room in me for improvement, especially since both scores were decently below my average PT score and under less than ideal circumstances.

    That being said, I have much travel this next month which will prevent me from studying. In the beginning of August, for one week I am traveling for work then the next week I am traveling for personal reasons.

    Seeing that I already have a test score I am comfortable with, should I just take the LSAT again in October so I can actually study, and then just send an application update if its an improvement, or do I rush to take it in September on the off-chance I get a great one to submit with the rest of my original application?

    Are there any other considerations I am not seeing? Thank you!

    Hi everyone,

    This is my first time taking the LSAT, started my diagnostic in the 140-145 range, haven't taken a practice test yet, but I am planning on doing that in the next 1-2 weeks. I am preparing for the November LSAT, but based on questions that I have been drilling, it has been fluctuating for me getting 5/6 right on some days and 4/6 on others (Ex. for Strengthen Medium sometimes I get 6/6 and other days 4/6).

    What is a tip/trick that has been helping you out or that "A-hah" moment ?

    How long did it take you guys to fully master a question type like Strengthen and/or assumption, only getting 2-3 or less wrong?

    I officially started studying end of May, how soon have people started seeing results? I am aiming for a high 160 before November. Is this attainable studying a few hours everyday? Let me know your guys' experiences or takes on this:)
