Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official January 2024 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the January 2024 LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, January 16th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

✅ The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

Good luck to everyone taking the January 2024 LSAT!

If you're ready to get more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. The next Proctored PT will take place on Saturday January 20 at 1:00 PM.

Looking forward to the Blind Review sessions on Monday for PT73. Last week's Blind Review sessions for PT70 (LR and RC) were fun! We had a lively debate as to the right answer for a tough Flaw question that dealt with a confusing part-to-whole issue (and a little dreaded math). We also discussed how to attack Comparative RC Passages, like the one on whether money can buy happiness. Can't wait to see more of you there on Monday, January 22nd for Free Live Class Day!

Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

Register by clicking the blue ‘Register’ button on this page.

Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.

Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This week's recommended PT is test 73; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday! (LR Review | RC Review). You can take the PT through 7Sage, or- if you want to simulate real test-day conditions- you can log into LawHub and take it there.

Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 PM ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctors will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to indicate your preference. If only the Prometric proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you will be able to test with those.

If you have any questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

I was wondering when implementing drills into your studying how you guys do it? Should I be trying to drill a specific type of question (i.e like MSS in LR, SA in LR, or Grouping in LG, etc) and don't move on to another question type until you get 100% timed? Or do you move on once you get 100% BR?

Or are there any other strategies that help you guys more?

Update: the chat lounge experiment has been concluded. Thank you all for participating!

Hey 7Sagers,

This week, we'll be hosting a global chat space. While the room is open, you can join here.

This event is intended to gauge community interest in a more permanent sitewide chat space. Pose a question, review some material together, or maybe meet a new study buddy!

Note that this is a space for student interaction, and the number of people in the room will vary throughout the day. If you're interested in chatting with other 7Sagers but don't see anyone in the room at the time, I encourage you to pop out the chat panel and just leave it running. You can separate Zoom's chat into its own window by clicking the button at the top right corner of the panel:

alt="popout_chat_panel"/>

The chat lounge will be open 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Eastern Time) from 1/22 through 1/26.

Let us know what you think in this thread. What features do you look for in a chat space? If there were multiple spaces dedicated to different LSAT topics, what would you be most interested in seeing?

Does LSAC send law schools all of your writing samples (within the 5 year timeframe) if you retook it? Or do they only see most recent sample?

I retook the writing last November because I wasn’t happy with the writing sample I had on file from a year ago. I also took the January test and have the opportunity to take the writing sample again. I am ok with the quality of my retake sample, and I don’t want to take it again if only the most recent is submitted. But if all of them are sent, I don’t see the harm in submitting another sample so law schools can see that the quality of my writing does not vary dramatically.

I have received several, contradictory answers from LSAC, and none of the support staff could directly locate the exact wording under LSAC’s policy or guidelines.

I understand, in the grand scheme of application review, the writing sample doesn’t hold much weight and is required partly for a plagiarism check. But, again, I see no harm done if it gives reviewers access to additional writing.

Took PT's 50-59 and 70 up to 76 and have consistently been scoring in the 153 -155 range. Took PT 80 and got a 150 and its no big deal, transition from 70's PT's to PT's in the 80 is kinda hard but ill take a 150. Bro I go to take PT 81 and I did so bad in section 2 of the LR for it, I probably wouldve got more correct if I closed my eyes and randomly selected answers. I understand that there are some anomalies out there but I did so bad in this LR section Im kinda scared to continue forward and Im taking the February LSAT. Not sure what to do. I dont think Im screwed because ive been scoring in the low to mid 150's for a bit now but Im unsure now. Any advice is appreciated.

I really want to apply for the fall 24 cycle. The only thing holding me back is this damn LSAT score. GPA and other app materials are already drafted and ready to submit. Planning to take the upcoming Feb LSAT. Struggling right now to reach at least a 160. I will settle for 157-159.

Current STATS: highest PT timed so far is a 150. untimed is a 165.

I've been taking at least 2 PTs a week so far this month and been doing the BR for all of them. Idk what else to do to increase my score or if there is still hope for that even happening in the next 2-3 weeks.

Heyo,

This is going to sound ridiculous but I have no idea how to study. My college degree (History/Education) was mostly focused around writing and research, and very rarely did I need to study. I was a notorious procrastinator and while this worked well for me (I graduated with a 3.9 GPA), I realized that in order to succeed on the LSAT and beyond, I need to roll my sleeves up and study. But the problem is is that I have no idea where to start or what works best when studying for the LSAT.

For context, I have been studying for around 4-6 hours a day so far but I don't feel as if it's enough as of right now, and I would like to study for longer periods of time. I seem to be most productive at night. My diagnostic is a 145 when I started the curriculum and I'm still completing it. I would like to get into the high 150s-low 160s, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and would like to do as well as possible. If I score high, I could get full-tuition from my local law school.

What do you guys do to study for the LSAT? How do you stay motivated? Please send help!

I just am logging into today, have been using 7sage for almost a year, and my progress reset? Has this happened to anyone? I am really confused and would like to know if there is a fix!

If anyone is looking for a study buddy lmk!

Is anyone in the DC/DMV area taking the lsat before the logic games get removed that still needs to do fool proofing?

I printed out all the logic games from 1-35 with the intent of fool proofing but I didn’t get to it and now I’m gonna take the lsat post logic games so don’t need it. Would love for it to go to someone instead of just tossing it! DM me if you want it!

I have tried different methods for studying for the LSAT while having a full-time job. I was wondering for those who are on the same boat as me, what is/was your study schedule like?

Give yourself a break!!!!

Cannot stress this enough!

I just returned to studying after a week off from taking the January official. I feel refreshed, focused, and driven again! Small sample size but my drills have been going phenomenal and can see myself breaking through my high 160's plateau!

If you feel stressed, unfocused, distracted, take a few days to a week off. Go to the gym, read a book, watch that Netflix series you have been dying to check out!

Still hoping for that 170+ on January though lol

I am stuck between C and E as answer choices. In this question, they compare two groups - intensive supervision of criminals released on parole and routine supervision. I chose E - that the assumption is that one group doesn't have far more criminals than another. Is this not a valid concern when the premise draws from a percentage? That one group will have more data than the other? Thanks!

Hello Can someone get me in contact with a student from UCI Law? I am writing my "Why UCI" essay and I want to get more information from a previous or current student at UCI.

So I am taking the February LSAT because my parents were getting on me for not taking it yet, however I do not feel super prepared. I know I have to take it, but I am definitely stressing. Reading Comprehension on the practice tests have been super high so I am not worried as much about focusing my studies towards it. But I was thinking of really diving deep into logic games because I know I can gain the most points there and take the L on LR. Logical reasoning hasn't been terrible for me, but I know that I would need way more time to study it. Does this approach make sense? What would you guys do? ( I am already planning on taking the April or June LSAT)

Hello! Is it likely that LSAC will add more test dates to the April 2024 LSAT? I noticed they had 4 October and 4 January dates so I am just curious.

Hi,

I completed a 5-question drill set yesterday and was going to blind review the questions today, but the results disappeared so I had to redo it. Though the results stayed after I pressed on a pin option. Is that why the results from yesterday did not save? Lastly, is there a way I can access those questions again?

I originally put A, I now understand why A is wrong. But I don't really understand why D is the right answer choice and what it means by "supposed class allegiance"

Does 7sage offer any contract courses?

Thank you,

I am planning on taking the LSAT after the Logic Games will no longer be a component. Is there a way to disable the logic games sections during these prep tests?

Is E the right answer because it is the only choice that addresses jurisdictions that have mandatory headlight usage? Thanks.

Current student in Philly planning on taking the August LSAT, practice test-ing in the 155-160 range looking to get up to 170+ range. Let me know if you're interested, and also preferred method of communication. Thanks :)

PrepTest B - Section 4 - Question 24

Hi! I wasn't sure why E was the answer over C. #help please!
