Age

I’m graduating two years early from undergrad. I’m pretty much dead set going straight in law school with applications do admissions, take consideration? Will it lower my chances of getting because I’m 19? Never thought of this but stuff online is freaking me out. Stats are good and scores, only concern is my age lol

I took the february LSAT today, and was interrupted a dozen times by the proctor. Granted, it was mostly due to me reading the questions aloud. I was also interrupted to fix my camera, and they would not pause the clock while I was made to move the camera.

I have ADHD and anxiety, and this is on file because I received an extra 10 mintue break. My question is whether or not anyone has ever tried to take the backup exam, by filing a test day complaint, and been denied? Do you guys think they will denie me? Once I had been interrupted a few times, it was very hard to regather my train of thought (especially due to my adhd), and I ended up guessing on way more questions than any practice test that I have ever taken!

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official February 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 February 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, February 13th.

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 🙆‍♀️

  • the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.
  • a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.
  • overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3
  • The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

  • the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.
  • I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.
  • fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June
  • Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?
  • Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count
  • Good luck to everyone taking the February 2024 LSAT!

    **Please keep all discussions of the February 2024 LSAT here!**(/red)

    Wondering if drills analytics is a feature the 7sage team is thinking about. I think it would be useful to have analytics on drills and not just PrepTests. What do other people think?

    Hi all,

    I recently took the January LSAT and scored a 160. I'm planning to take the April LSAT with the intention of scoring a 165. How should I structure my study schedule moving forward? Currently, I'm at a 0/-2 for LG, -5/-9 for LR, and -12 for RC.

    Should I solely focus on drilling my weak areas and PT's? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    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 February 10 at 1:00 PM.

    Thanks to all who could come last week to the PT and BR sessions. On Monday, we were super productive and discussed P2, P3, and P4 of PT74's RC (check out the recording here), focusing the most on that nuanced Law Comparative passage. In the LR session, we attacked plenty of questions between Q8 and Q23, debating answer choices and whether bacteria is actually living (P.S.- the answer did give us a hint there in saying that bacteria "thrive." Do rocks or other nonliving things "thrive?"). Find the LR Blind Review Recording here!

    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 75; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday and Tuesday! (BR Series). 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!

    Looking to hear from individuals who were able to break into the 170's or atleast a 170. I've been PTing in the mid 160's and BR'ing in the high 160s. I definitely have more studying to do and know I haven't hit a plateau yet, but I'm curious what you feel helped you make that jump specifically? Did you change your studying, did something click, a certain practice you started implementing, or just time and consistency?

    Thanks :)

    Looking to study in Riverside IE area. Hoping to take the June,2024 test.

    Currently testing at 157-161 and hoping to break into 170.

    I score 91%-100% in LG, 80% in LR, and 59% on RC

    Ideally would like a partner who does well in RC since I am absolutly trash at RC.

    Can complete blind reviews and time practice test together. Present topics to each other to show mastery.

    I nearly completed the Blueprint course [A different course], but just started 7 Sage and I'm just 10% done with LR.

    Hello All,

    Can anyone speak to whether you chose to use your testing accommodation or not when taking the LSAT? And do you feel it is a hindrance to use it when taking the test in a testing center vs compute test at home?

    I’m asking because I took one test and I did not use my usual testing accommodations . And then I took the next one at a test site and used my accommodations. To my dismay I did 11 points worse than I did when I tested without my accommodations. Also the test site was very noisy and disorganized which I reported to LSAC. I’m just trying to figure out if I should no longer use my accommodations. It felt like it was a situation that culminated into me doing worse and I felt I was treated differently - myself and another test taker who also had accommodation. We had to wait an hour to start our test and that caused a lot of anxiety at least for me. Thank you.

    Hopefully it's ok to post this here. I just want to let aspiring black lawyers (or anybody else at a disadvantage due to socioeconomic circumstances), that there is an alternative to the LSAT. It's called the JD Next. It will test your actually ability to understand the law, and give you a fair chance at getting into law school- unlike the LSAT. Google it. Registration is open now!

    I have no idea what happened. I have been studying for months and have had regular ups and downs. A week ago, I was the most confident I have ever been. I felt like I was getting everything right, and it was all making sense to me. I don't know what has changed, but I suddenly don't understand anything. Like, I can't even diagram basic lawgic anymore when just a week ago it seemed like second nature. I am now missing questions that I have never missed and am feeling like I am taking huge steps backwards. Wondering if anyone else has felt something similar and how you got back to feeling confident and competent.

    For drilling questions they really need to remove the checkmark from automatically completing the drill. I've clicked the checkmark multiple times and have ended up ending my drill wayy too early.

    Please add an additional step in order to make sure the quiz is submitted, thank you!

    Hi Everyone,

    I just did question 18 in Section 2 of PT 77 and I am confused by the language in answer choice D. It says "fails to exclude the possibility that there might be legitimate evidence motivating those who reject Shakespeare's authorship". The fails to exclude part threw me off and I was hoping someone could better explain that to me. Thanks!

    Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

    Hi everyone. I'm currently scheduled for the April 2024 LSAT administration but I want to push it back to August '24 to avoid the Logic Games section and to give myself more time to utilize 7Sage to prepare for the test. My issue is that the registration isn't currently open and from previous years it looks like you can't register until May for the August test. If that's true, I'll be in a pickle because the deadline to change my test date free of charge is at the end of this month, as well as the fact that I'm scheduled for April but the sign-up wouldn't be until May so I'd be forced into withdrawing my registration for the LSAT altogether by February 29th and then signing up for the August LSAT when it opens. I'm wondering if it could be an option to switch dates to the June test then switch to the August date when registration opens without incurring a penalty/paying more as a result of pushing my test date. Does anyone have any advice or insight into this matter that could be helpful for my situation? Additionally, I couldn't find Ithaca, NY as a test administration site on the LSAC website. Ithaca College and Cornell used to administer the LSAT so I'm curious if they're no longer offering it there and not sure who to contact for that information. Many thanks in advance for any advice/insight!

    Hello. I am based in Columbus, OH and I plan on taking the LSAT on August 2024 (I know registration hasn't opened yet). I would love to join any study group (remote or in person). I would also love to receive some tips on how to study for the LSAT and get a high score within six months.

    Thank you in advance.
