Hello. I was wondering how many drills you all are doing when you reach the Drill at the end of a LR question type section. I just completed the PAI section and did two drills because I felt like I needed more practice.

Thanks!

I got a 152 on the November LSAT so I wanted to cancel it and retake in January, but I just realized that I missed the January deadline so now I dont know If i should still cancel my score and just retake in february, which seems too late in the cycle? Or if i should just take my chances and apply with a 152?

Hi, it's hard to find a straight answer as I'm seeing a lot of different info swirling around...

I'm taking the LSAT in Feb. I should get the results back by the very end of Feb. I have two applications due on March 1st. When it says the application is due on March 1st does that mean EVERYTHING is due on that date? As in, LORs, resume, writing assignments, transcripts, AND the LSAT score? In theory, if I got the LSAT score back on March 3rd is that okay or does it HAVE to be included in the application with everything else?

Hey all,

Just wanted to thank 7sage team and give a few words of advice that I hope will help someone out.

First off, the LSAT can't take over your life. Sometimes, you simply just have to stop thinking about the test. If you don't, you'll burn yourself out and perform poorly. I spent May through September cooped up in a small room studying for one too many hours/day and I suffered for it. Started living life a little bit in October and saw score increase of +5 on my PT's and on my actual exam. Of course this is not the only reason my score improved, but it is certainly one of them. Time away from the test is crucial for the learning process. Go for a walk. Play with your pets. Do anything but the LSAT.

For LR: Practice visualising every stimulus you see. This was the game changer for me. Visualising what you read leads to being engaged with the material which leads to an understanding of it. Do untimed practice questions until you are comfortable making a mental image of each stimulus you read. Just a heads up, this takes lots of practice. But if you master it, it is an extremely effective strategy.

For RC: Same advice as LR. Practice untimed passages and visualize every sentence you read. Your mental image of each sentence should allow you to understand it. Once you get good at that, read whole passages and visualize the main points of each paragraph (or at least something notable from the paragraph). This made me a MUCH more engaged test taker. I actually started finding the passages interesting once I started doing this.

For LG: Drill, drill, drill. There is no way around it. If you do logic games enough, you will rarely miss a question. I probably spent around 700 hours drilling logic games. Yes, it sucks but if you do it enough you'll rarely see a game that gives you any trouble. By the end of my prep, I was completing full sections in around 25 minutes and scoring -0/-1. LG really is free points and you have to take advantage of it.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Hi everyone - I took the LSAT last November and got a 149. I studied for a few months and this November I got a 149 again. What am I doing wrong? I went through the majority of the core curriculum but haven't done that much drilling overall, so maybe that is my problem?

I am very frustrated. I am signed up to take the January LSAT again.

Hi! So I recently graduated from college therefore spending over $150 on an hour of tutoring is completely out of the question. Is Wyzant a reliable website for finding an LSAT tutor? The site shows each tutor's hourly rate, how many hours they've tutored, credentials, reviews, and whether or not Wyzant has completed their background check. 7Sage is great but I REALLY need affordable one-on-one for the logic games. Everyone says it gets easier but that hasn't been the case for me in any way.

Hello,

I am currently looking for someone who can study with me and to also provide me with tips to get my section timing better. Just got my score back from November and I’m thinking I should retake as I feel I can get a few more points. I sit in the 140 range.

Currently, logic games is my best section and reading comp is my worst section.

We can zoom and I’d totally be willing to help you where needed.

As I'm working my way through the lessons, I noticed the Prep Tests will show how many questions I've already encountered on that given test. Does 7sage ensure a number of tests are left untouched so you get a sense of a real practice test? I want to make sure they'll be tests where I don't already have an answer memorized.

Can someone please provide a link that facilitates access to the January 2024 Crystal Ball Predictions? Unfortunately, I missed the date.

I'm an undergraduate student juggling full-time work, full time study while living independently. My current gpa is 3.8. In my initial attempt at the LSAT, I began with a diagnostic score of 135. Despite dedicated self-study since September 2023, my November LSAT score was 143, falling short of my goal in the 158-160 range. This was disheartening, especially considering my average practice scores were in the 150s. As a mature student, I'm eager to avoid waiting another year.

Seeking guidance, I've never enlisted the help of a tutor, relying solely on self-study. I'm now seeking advice on recommended books, potential tutoring options, or any resources that could aid in reaching my goal. Any assistance or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hey Team!

I took the November LSAT and scored a 180. I wanted to come on here to thank JY and the 7Sage team for their materials and keeping the community vibrant, as well as leave some parting words for struggling LSAT takers.

I think my diagnostic was around a 158. I studied on and off for two years because I was working full-time, but quit this past June to focus on the LSAT. Logic Games were extremely unintuitive to me, but I kept doing sets and watching JY's videos until they made sense. For RC and LR, I found that not highlighting and instead giving differential weight to the conclusion and tone of the author or conclusion in connection to premise was easier for me and also saved time. For context, I read a lot of literature and was an English major in undergrad, so this might work better for people who have existing reading skills.

That said, I was plateau'd between around 165-168 for three months. It was awful and demoralizing, and what helped me improve was grinding LG and then relaxing in my approach toward LR and RC. I found I was anxious about a lot of questions to the point that I wasn't actually trying to solve them. I spent some time sitting with difficult LR questions and simply trying to understand the logic through a lens of language and simple understanding. I hope that helps someone here!

Anyway, I'll be leaving here but good luck to everyone. The LSAT does not define you, but you can see massive score increases if you work for it. Lots of love!

Hi,

I'm looking for some folks who would want to do in-depth review of questions/tests in anticipation of January 2024 lsat (but also any test date before June which will be the last LG administration). Happy to do all three sections.

I currently have an 8-5 (PST) job so I'm mostly available either after work, on the weekends, or before work.

I'm open to meeting online through Zoom or something similar.

Current range is from 169-175, but by no means am I only looking for study buddies who are within that range.

EDIT as of 12/5/23 -- I do weekly facetime calls on Discord to study with others..message me directly if you want to join!

Hey all, I attended a regular US university for undergrad, and that is the only school I attended after high school. I also attended a regular US high school and got a regular high school diploma. I took a couple of AP classes and got college credit for them.

I submitted my transcript to CAS, and I got an email titled "LSDAS Notice of Unacknowledged Transcript" saying that I did not disclose an institution and listed it as an "Unknown School".

I began questioning myself if I had unknowingly attended another school, but then I realized about my AP credits. So I looked it up on reddit and people said you don't have to submit high school transcripts because college credits are received through AP exam scores, not grades from high school. So I emailed LSAC, and their response felt a bit automated, but they said "The law schools wish to see the original transcript from every institution that granted you college credits, including college credits earned in high school, credits transferred to your degree-granting school, and credits that may not be part of the degree you earned."

I have nothing to hide on my high school transcript, but the transcript sending service doesn't include LSAC, and LSAC also doesn't acknowledge my high school as an institution. And I agree with the reddit comments that my high school transcript would not show the AP credits I received.

Does anybody know if it's normal for AP credits to cause this kind of mess?

I don't know if this is common, but I have seen great improvements in logic games especially, now averaging around a minus 2, and similar (but not as extreme) increases in LR. Oddly enough though my RC has been dropping and I find myself more confused than ever.

I am looking to discuss with anyone who is completing or completed a program with a Hybrid Law school (ABA). This is what I am planning on doing and I have a few questions on what schools had the best online programs.

Hi everyone! I am planning to take the April LSAT and will begin studying (hopefully) tomorrow. I wanted to see if anyone had any advice on how to set up my studying using 7Sage. I know that there is a curriculum but I noticed that when I put in my start date to my end date (test date) that it says I'm not studying enough hours a week.

When I took my first diagnostic (Preptest 66 on Khan Academy) I scored a a 137, with my scores as the following:

I do work full time, so if anyone has any advice on how to study while working a full time job that would also be appreciated! I am excited to get started... and I am open to any advice anyone may have. What's worked best for you, where you saw your most improvement, and how I can structure my time to maximize my return on investment.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Are there any examples of how you annotate and highlight passages on the actual online test. Since all the explanation videos I see involve writing directly on the passage, they do not seem that helpful for the real test.

Hello! I recently moved to Gainesville, FL, and am currently looking for a study partner for the January LSAT. Is there anyone out there who is local to the area and might be interested?

I just took the November lsat and got a 162. My gpa is around a 3.88 but I think it might end up being higher when CAS adds in my scores from other schools. I really wanted to go to Fordham Law but I don't think I'll be able to get in with this score. I know I could do better because I was scoring between 163-169 on practice tests. Should I cancel my current score and take the January test? getting scholarships is really important to me because I am paying for law school all on my own. I am nervous all the money will be gone if I wait that long.

Hello! I recently moved to Gainesville, FL, with the hopes of attending UF Law. I'm looking for fellow prospective Gators to connect with. If interested, please let me know!

Needing help. I have taken the LSAT twice (June 2023 & November 2023). I have received the same score (142) on both and am deciding whether to still apply before the end of this year. Thoughts? I know I could re-take the LSAT in Jan. or Feb. but I feel like I am not scoring high enough since I am still in undergraduate and trying to study for both is difficult to do. I also do not want to have to take a gap year/semester.

Hey y'all, I got a 155 on the Nov LSAT after getting a 148 on the August LSAT, and I have a GPA of 3.8 from UCLA in your opinion should I retake the exam again in January or do you think I will get into a couple of schools here in California with my stats? I'm super duper over this exam and just wanna be done, and I truly do not care what school I go to so long as it's local I'm okay. what do you think I should do? do I have a chance? or should I try again?

Hey hey, 7Sagers!

We've got another Proctored PT coming up for the month of December, which will be held Saturday Dec 2nd from 1-5 pm ET. 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. Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

You must register in advance using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0vf-itpjouGt1RtQb5OFFLndPR5Ppks8_K

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 can be any PT; we recommend one that you haven't seen yet and that is at least as recent as PT 50. 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 Proctor 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 privately message your preference. If only the ProctorU 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 comment below or email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

Just got my score back from Nov. and super disappointed. Diagnostic of 147 and last few PTs have been 160-164 range. Got a 159. This is my first time taking the LSAT. I want to go to UGA, but their median is a 169...
