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?

Do people use memory method time structure during actual PT or problem set drills or is it only strictly for practice? I feel like I'm getting tripped up over how to use it lol so I wanna know how other people make best use of it because I definitely like it and want to implement it into my study habits.

Hey everyone,

So, I studied abroad twice, earning a total of roughly 30 credits. I studied abroad in two different countries with programs administered by two different (U.S. based) organizations The grades I earned studying abroad show up on my transcript and have been factored into my GPA, however, they are still noted to be off-campus programs.

Will my study abroad grades be factored into my LSAC GPA?

Thank you!

I got back my Nov LSAT score and was not too thrilled with it. I was scoring much higher on my prep tests. I am torn between applying anyways to select schools and seeing what happens vs. studying more for the LSAT and applying next cycle. Any advice on what to do? Also, how do schools view reapplications- if you get rejected the first cycle, but apply regardless in the next? Thank you!

Hey guys!

Just started a discord server for the January/February LSAT 2022: https://discord.gg/T3dMtJ47. I want the people who join to be active participants so that the discord server is able to benefit all of us. Please join if you are interested. There is no minimum score to join but I want people to be motivated to put in the effort to be able to get their goal score. Excited to work with everyone!

*EDIT: Even if you are planning to take the LSAT later, please free to join this discord. It is never too early to start joining these study groups. I have pushed the LSAT for about six months so I am more than aware that plans change. I want to create a community on the discord server that goes beyond me taking the test :)

From the Blind Reviewing I've done so far, the only thing that I've left out in the step by step process that J.Y has in the syllabus is actually flagging the questions while taking the timed exams. I've felt sort of reluctant towards flagging because I can imagine it taking me too much time to debate over how confident I am about each answer choice for a question during a PT. I now feel like I'm missing out on this crucial step in the process of how to Blind Review efficiently, but I also still think it may cause me to over-analyze every question during my PT's. I wouldn't want to spend an extra amount of time trying to figure out whether an answer choice is 100% correct on a question just so I can leave it uncircled... Isn't it a stretch to be going through this deep of an analysis for every question?

Maybe the analysis most people go through during their PT's is more flexible than I'm assuming, and there should actually be a lot of overconfidence/under-confidence errors to expect at first, due to not actually being 100% certain. Please let me know how you guys have benefited from this approach.

I would really appreciate any feedback on how some of the top scorers out there have gotten the most out of Blind Reviewing using this approach.

Hi! I am a third year (final year) undergrad student in India, and am looking to apply for admissions for Fall 2021/22. I was wondering whether the law schools in the U.S and Canada accept three year international degrees? I am at a NAAC 'A' graded school (rated in the highest tier in India) with a triple major and 120 credits scheduled to be completed by the time I graduate next year. Would I be eligible for admissions to law schools, more specifically the T14 schools?

Thank you!

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?

Hi all. I'd like to sign up to take the April LSAT flex. This option to test from home is very appealing to me for many reasons so I am hoping to take advantage of it before it's gone. I have a full time career and am a single parent. Took the LSAT 15+ years ago and got a disappointing 154 after testing mid-high 160s. It was demoralizing and changed the trajectory of my career. Now here I am again studying, understanding all the concepts when giving myself ample time but bombed my first practice test (149). I got most of the LG wrong (-17) because of nerves but scored higher in RC (-4). I'm here looking for advice - I'm overwhelmed by figuring out how to study with all of the choices available - online platforms, programs etc. I've been reading PowerScore bibles and they are helpful but feel like if I don't have a concrete plan for the next four months, it's not going to be enough. Does anyone have a good four month study schedule they can share that focuses mostly on LG and LR? A live course that might help in addition to PS or 7Sage? Or do you have a tutor recommendation that could help me navigate these choices and create a customized plan based on my strengths and weaknesses? Thank you!

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.

I am having problems with the Logical Games especially with grouping and matching. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

I am consistently scoring in the low 160s (160-163) and scoring in the mid 160s to low 170s (166-172) after BR. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to get out of a plateau. On BR, I immediately notice many careless mistakes, either due to misreading the questions or stimulus or time constraint, but I always seem to make comparable careless mistakes on the next PT I take. Does anyone else struggle with this issue? I am taking the October test and I have only completed PT 36-46 and June '07. I also have every single PT, including 1-35 and PT A,B and C. Would it be helpful for me to take every single one of them as a PT, or should I save some of them for drilling? I want to maximize my potential on the LSAT and I'm willing to take and thoroughly BR as many PTs as necessary.

Hi all. I am looking for someone to review and go over pt's with about once a week. I took the November exam and scored a 161 and am shooting for a 165 for January. I study for a couple hours a day during the week and then take a full pt on Saturdays. I have completed 60-80 as pt's and am planning on working up from 81 as January approaches. My plan was to hopefully take the same pt's each weekend and then meet on zoom maybe on Monday of the following week. We could use the screen share feature and take turns going over our exam and talking through our wrong answers or thought processes. I think having someone explain their thoughts and process will be very helpful for me, and hopefully I could be of some help to you. If you think you would be interested in something like this, please comment or dm and we can talk further. I am planning on taking 81 on Saturday. Thanks so much!
