I hope someone knows the answer to this question —

I am currently enrolled in a master's program (at a different school than that which I attended for undergrad), in which I have gotten straight A's. I know that graduate level courses do not count towards the LSAC's calculations of GPA. However, I have taken five undergraduate courses during the course of this program (4 were prerequisites and 1 is an elective language course). Will these undergraduate course grades count towards the calculation of my GPA when applying for law school?

I recently completed the CC and decided to take a post-CC practice test and scored a 151. I've only taken a total of 3 timed practice tests and I scored a 145 diagnostic mid-June (PTJ07), a 151 at the end of July (PT85), and then a 151 today on PT 50. I didn't BR because I had other commitments and just wanted to know where I stood. I have been studying full time since June and my LSAT is scheduled for November. I essentially have 2 months left and was wondering how to proceed from here? Do I start taking pretests 1-35? or do I take 36-60 because they're more accurate? LG and LR are roughly -8 (I don't usually have time to finish either section) but untimed I can score -3 on LGs. My RC is (expectedly) my worst section at -16. My goal is at least a 160.

Feeling extremely overwhelmed and stuck because of my score. I haven't seen any improvement besides feeling like I understand the questions more, and wanted any advice on how to proceed and reach my goal. I'm willing to commit 6 hours a day, 7 days a week to studying (which is what I've been doing).

Hey all,

I took the June LSAT & apparently life hates me. First, I got covid TWO days before the test. I spoke to LSAC & they were ok with me testing on a different date. I decided to take the test anyway. I had previously warned all my friends & family not to call or msg me during the test. However, true to form, my mother called me during section 2. The phone was out of reach behind me but DND apparently doesn’t to apply to all contacts & a loud vibration could be heard. I did not react or make a motion to reach or silence the phone. My proctor did not reach out or mention anything but I’m wondering, if the phone call plus my incessant coughing would potentially flag my session. I’m an adult & aware that it was my decision to take the test but I’m wondering if anyone has an experience or advice.

Hi everyone! I am currently working on applications for Columbia, Northwestern, U Chicago, U Michigan, and U Virginia. I wanted to reach out to the 7sage community to see if anyone knew of recent graduates or current students attending these law schools, as being able to speak to someone actually attending would allow me to gain better insight into what going to law school there actually looks like!

Does anyone know of any resources that resemble the skill builders from the core curriculum, but mix them all up together? Since the skill builders lump all the similar ones in order, I can feel my brain zoning out and not actually learning the drill but instead just copying and pasting the format of the answer.

I am going to make a quizlet that basically mixes all the skill builders from the foundations unit, but figured I'd see if it already exists before I do!

Hi everyone,

I recently signed up for 7Sage and just took my first practice exam. I wanted to see my results without completing the actual blind review, so the blind review results were obviously the same as my practice test results.

Is it recommended to complete the blind review immediately after taking the practice test? To people who do that, does that mean you are essentially taking the same exam for 5+ hours?

Appreciate any insights on the best way to complete the blind review after taking a 3 hour practice test!

Thank you,

RJ

Have u guys noticed Chappell roan song titles are so close in spelling to LSAT topics ? Casual and Causal? Phenomenon- Femininomenon? 🤔 just another late night ponderance .

Hey everyone and Happy New Year's! As we enter 2025 and manifest high scores in the months to come, I thought it'd be great to find a local study group. Is there anyone in the St. Louis area who would like to work together or who knows of a group that's already formed?

Thank you!

I've been studying since April 2024, and I haven't been able to move my score out of the 150s. I feel like I've tried multiple different techniques for studying and none of them seem to be working for me. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how they broke the pattern of not making solid improvement?

Hello! I hope everyone’s June LSAT went well. I am writing because I had to cancel my score for the June LSAT because the proctor bothered me so many times during the first two sections I practically had no focus and was stressed the whole exam. Did this happen to anybody else? I was interrupted many times because apparently I was “out of the camera frame” when I was using my scratch paper or when I came close to the laptop screen and my forehead was cut out. This was really frustrating because I can’t see myself on the camera during the test and I just don’t want to worry about this on the next exam. Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid this? A special camera that people used or a certain distance they kept themselves from the laptop?

Thank you!

Hey, I am struggling to decide which one of the following strategies would be most effective- typically now I flag 8-10 questions per section. Would it be better to circle back to the harder ones im very unsure of first (less than 50% confidence), and use up my remaining time to try and seek out the right answer. OR would my time be better spent checking over the ones I flagged that I had 75-85% confidence in? For reference I usually have 6/7 im decently confident in, and 2-3 im very unsure/debating. Risk is i spend my time checking over the 6/7 quickly, and sacrifice the 2-3, or i spend my time on the 2-3 and risk still getting them wrong since theyre the hardest ones AND not double checking the easier ones and maybe getting 1 of those wrong. Pros and cons to each side, but I cant seem to make up my mind. Wondering if anyone currently uses any of these strategies to try and get the most accuracy in the last 5 ish mins when theyre checking over their answers, please let me know!

This is random but I want to do a summer 2025 law internship in Australia but I don't even know how to begin this process. Most programs that I have looked at only offer unpaid experiences, but I would highly prefer to find a paid internship. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Does anyone know if and how to view your LSAT Argumentative Writing submission after it has been completed?

In the lessons about In/Out games there is use of bi-conditionals like J (--) /K. For other prep material they have used a "negative bi-conditional", so J (-/-) K. Do these represent the same things? I assumed they both meant J and K cannot be selected together. #Help

Heyyy,

I am planning on taking the October LSAT in the Middle East. Thing is, I have heard that the only available time slots are usually between 2 am and 5.30 am which is a major disadvantage. I can't imagine taking the LSAT during those times and doing well.

Any one have any experience with this? Also, how early will the time slots open up for booking...

I haven't paid for my test yet and wasn't sure if this will cause me to be late on choosing a time slot.

Thanks :)

Hey everyone,

The new LR tags are pretty confusing to me. The basic ones before I found were easy to understand in terms of what I needed to work on. Now it's telling me to work on what seems to be broad types of questions like Value Judgement and I just want to know the specific question types. Can I make it go back to the original analytical tags or is this permanent?

Thanks!

Posting here once again to source ideas for my LSAT study group. We do study groups (loophole and PT BRs) and game nights (kahoot and jeopardy) on a near daily basis but if anyone else has ideas please lmk. We have also been having some sessions dedicated just to conditional logic. Can add people if there’s interest in joining. I also have the links to a couple other groups so can invite people to those too

I had a quick question about a line of reasoning regarding the correct answer to this question. I got the correct answer, E, but for a different reason than what was explained in the explanation video. In the video, the narrator discusses the difference between old people and old people with insomnia and claims that this is where the sample is unrepresentative. However, when I was thinking about this question, I was focused on the phrase "as they age" and the fact that the sample size was those aged 65-81. I thought that it was too difficult to determine that melatonin was produced less as you age because what if it is produced at a lower rate during early years as well, but the sample only included older people? Would this line of reasoning be incorrect? Is this a type of thinking anyone else had?

Hi all,

I recently finished the core curriculum’s lessons on logical reasoning and tried my first PT after my diagnostic. My diagnostic was a 150, and my second PT was a 144, after finishing the core curriculum’s lessons on logical reasoning. I tried another PT today and score a 146. Can I increase my score to a 170 by October? I plan to write the lsat in October and should have sufficient time to study, but am worried about the lack of progress. How do I improve my lsat score? Is it just about practicing questions and trying as many as possible?

Thanks in advance

I know from friends that there is strategy to approaching each section- whether thats numbering logic games on difficulty and taking them in that order or approaching LR questions to save time. Does anyone know if 7sage has guidance on this?

Im still a freshman in college but does anybody know of any good scholarships. I have to go out of state for my school and need to prepare already.

Can we represent this as B->A, as in B(the one possible way) is sufficient to A? For example this would be like 'one way to score 170 on the LSAT is to study well', so [study well] becomes a sufficient condition for [scoring 170].

I kept the specific details out to not spoil anyone, but this was a question from the new drill sets on Lawhub. Someone posted a question about it on reddit but I was wondering if my guess was right.
