My app was placed on "reserve" which I don't know if its a fancy or nice way of saying waitlisted. Either way they gave me 2 weeks to upload a LOCI. I applied late in the cycle so not much new achievements to mention, and I already wrote a Why Essay. Should I reiterate or expand on those points again in the LOCI? What additional info should I include, and how long should it be? I read the 7sage articles but wanted some additional info.

Hey everyone, looking for someone to do daily study sessions of a minimum 1 hour (up to 4 hours), mostly consisting of LR. Please only message if you can commit to this/are dedicated to their studying please :) Thanks!

Hi! I'm looking for a study buddy. Someone that can meet 2-3 times a week through Google Meets. I work full time, so preferably someone is a similar position. I'm looking for someone that desires structure and accountability. We could do timed drills/preptest and blind review together!

Please let me know if you are interested!

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!

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

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!

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?

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 :)

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.

Hi all! Looking to see if anyone has any recomendations for how to build a study schedule after taking a PT. My current plan is to take a PT bi-weekly Fridays and spend my days going over specific question types I've missed. Should I also consider doing full length sections a day during my week? Throw your study schedule/suggestions in the comments - Thanks all!

Hello there! I graduated college in 2001 with a degree in communications with an emphasis on pre-law. The only professor I had the majority of classes with was arrested for embezzlement after I graduated. He was one of THE TOP professors and knew me well. I found him online. Is his arrest an immediate NO! To a LOR? He’d be the best person if it weren’t for his arrest 19 years ago. Additionally, would it be acceptable to use a coach for a LOR? I wrote a book and have a coach that can attest to my drive, critical reading and writing, heavy workload ability, etc. my other coach is a singing coach. She is very well respected around the world and I actually turned the tables and coached her for a national pageant which she won. I haven’t worked full time in awhile as I had cancer and was out for quite some time, so I have one recent boss but for a vitamin store. I’m healthy now thank goodness and devoting my full time to lsat & admissions. I also sued someone and won the case pro se in 2020– I have an attorney friend of family is a witness to what I went through & how hard I worked—by myself. I’m sorry this is so long but all three have agreed to write a LOR but I’m not sure if they are adequate. Can someone PLEASE lend some insight? THANK YOU!!!

I am looking to create a study group that is a hybrid of online and in person. I am from Atlanta and would love to get more people in my inperson study group if possible.

When I started this journey in March, I quickly realized that having a community around you works wonders for the psyche and for scoring well on the test. I got a 158 on the April LSAT, only studying for a few weeks and using a book. I felt like I could do better if I got a website like this. It was also hard to find people to study with.

I am available almost every day; I've made this my full time job for the summer. I would love for anyone to join and could not care less about your background/limitations. Everyone is welcome.

If you are interested in forming a study group, please contact me!

I've been studying for about 5 months and am taking the August LSAT. I've gone from a 156 diagnostic to solid mid-160 PTs using Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer in tandem with 7Sage explanation videos and analytics.

I recently got two scores of 168, was feeling really close to reaching my goal of 170+, but on the last two PTs I missed a lot on LR and fell back down to 165 and 163, respectively. I'm especially nervous because I had no idea that I was bombing LR and actually felt pretty confident.

Any tips for sharpening my LR in this last month push?

(I have a full-time job and am currently devoting 10-15 hours a week to studying; an expensive tutor isn't an option)

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I wonder if anyone can direct me to find the link to "get acquainted with lsat writing"? I remember reading about this tool in preparation for June's LSAT and today finally decide to try it out but could not find the link anymore. Did they take it down because the real writing session had begun? Or am I looking at the wrong places? A link would be highly appreciated.

Btw I heard this writing is not really important - is that correct? I kinda wanna just do the writing before the multiple choice test so I don't have to think about it anymore but definitely have not had a lot of practice...

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I am currently studying existential quantifiers and although I understand the concept of existential quantifiers, I find it difficult to apply the concept to MBF questions. I've only done a couple of MBF questions with existential quantifiers, but was wondering whether you need to use existential quantifiers for each MBF question? Also, what types of logical reasoning questions require us to use existential quantifiers?

If possible, can someone please reference some questions that require us to utilize existential quantifiers? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance :).
