Taking the Feb LSAT and I don't know if I am on a good track.

I can do the questions pretty well (untimed) but with time I am rushing and getting the questions wrong or I am not able to complete all the questions without guessing. My main issue is just time. Idk how to approach the MBF/MBT questions without freaking out which causes me to lose more time.

hi y'all, I am taking the jan test and just wanted to see what y'all think. I feel very confident on LG, it is my strongest section. I miss between 2-5 questions at the most. For LR and RC, I do miss around 10-12 for each section :( would this give me a decent score?

Hey,

I am relatively new to 7sage, have been liking it a lot so far. I was curious to know about these difficulty levels I see after drills. Is the actual lsat generally more 4 and 5 level difficulty questions or is it more dispersed between difficulty levels.

The highest diagnostic score I've gotten so far is a 168 on Khan Academy, but that was more of a fluke where I did better than normal in LG. On LawHub, which is the only thing I use for timed PTs now, I typically get 163-165. I got a 161 on 79 which wasn't great for confidence, but apparently that's one of the harder ones.

Been able to get -0 on LR a couple of times with a typical range of -1 to -3. On RC I almost always get 24/27. LG is definitely what I need to improve most on, as I currently get 14-16 / 23.

Ideally I would love to hit 175 on the actual test in Feb. I'd really like to break 170 regardless. How realistic of a goal is that and what's the best course of action? For now I'm trying the foolproof method for LG sections I've done on previous practice tests. I've heard that it's the easiest section to master.

Planning on studying 4 days a week 3-6 hours a day until the first week of Feb.

I have been doing fairly well on logical reasoning and reading comprehension sections, however, when it comes to logic games I can't seem to grasp the concepts. It feels as though there is some fundamental aspect of logic games that hasn't clicked yet and once it does it will all make sense. What I struggle with the most is setting up game boards. It takes me so long to just answer one question and I'm still left confused and unconfident by the end of the question. Does anyone have any advice on how to get better at logic games?

Hi folks, this may have been covered already but I am taking the January LSAT and am trying to take my last 10 PTs under as real testing conditions as possible, including doing them on Lawhub under timed conditions and then inputting my answers in 7sage to BR.

I took the test last January and recall that there was an optional 1 minute break between sections 1&2 as well as between 3&4.

I've heard mixed comments with some saying each 35 min section now starts immediately one after the other (outside of the 10 min break halfway through).

It definitely helps to be able to take a few deep breaths between sections before diving back in. Can anyone confirm whether or not there are 1 minute timers between each pair of sections?

Hi! I am in need of some advice regarding taking a gap year.

I have applied for the 2024 cycle to 6 schools. My resume, LOR's, personal statement & GPA is strong but my LSAT score is not where I know it could be. I was rushed into applying but now I feel like a gap year may be more beneficial to me. I would take the year off, live at home, study for the LSAT, save money and work at a law firm where I am working now. Overall just take time off from school but get to where my LSAT score can help me get more financial aid. However, I have already applied. I am waiting for decision emails to come back and I am wondering if there would be a way to postpone admissions? Or if after applying then taking a gap year looks bad come 2025 admissions cycle? I don't know if there is a way to do this or if anyone has done this before.

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated :) ! Thank you!

Hey hey, 7Sagers!

We've got another Proctored PT coming up for the month of January, which will be held this Saturday, January 6th 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/tZwsdemqrD8jHtZG83AxMhu3eYUjoDAzVBXB
  • 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!

    Hey, y’all.

    I’m currently registered to take the February LSAT. For my study schedule, I’m taking a pre-test every Tuesday and spending an hour every other day studying, mainly because that’s all my work schedule allows for. So far, I’ve done two pre-tests and I’ve gotten a 140 and a 139, respectively. Should I feel discouraged that I haven’t seen any improvement or encouraged in the fact that I have some sort of consistency? Should I take the pre-test, then spend the rest of the week focusing on the explanation videos to see if something clicks? I don’t really want to take a gap year between graduating in May and law school, I just want a few more points (I scored a 140 in August), because I think my resume and extra curriculars can help me. Any advice would be appreciated!

    RC Tips

    Does anybody have tips on how to improve on RC? I typically get like -14 or -16 on this section and doing low res has helped but when the passage is difficult / under timed conditions, it does not seem to help me at all. I would greatly appreciate any help!

    I am applying for Sept 2024 cycle, I've had a really rough year. Initially registered for the Jan test, however had a huge confusion with Lsac and didnt know that appoinments had to be made for tests. Missed the deadline and now my only option is Feb. Besides an lsat score I have a strong application, but do you y'all know if waiting till Feb of this year is realistic with Canadian and Ontario Law schools?

    I'm not focused on getting into a t30 school, I don't care all too much about where I go as long as its in the midwest. I have a 3.85 GPA. Everyone says that getting under 160 means I am missing fundamentals. what do I do to fix this? I have went over the fundamentals in 7sage already, did powerscore bibles. i've been studying while working and full time school for 2 months. diagnostic was a 142. pls someone get me to 160. and if anyone has taken later lsats and applied the same year cycle, i need some motivation. i know its not ideal, im doing it anyways.

    I have gone through the V2 Curriculum and the core lessons and wanted to know which pts would be best to use for timed section practice. I am aware that pts 1-35 are for drilling but was wondering how others allocate their timed section practice on certain pts. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Basically title. I don't want to go into the LSAT overconfident on my scoring. I recently hit minus 8 BR on preptest 71, but that seems a little high for missing 8 questions raw. Checked recent scalings for later preptest and it seems the margin of error is much lower for missed questions to get a 170+.

    Hi I'm hoping to reach out to one of the tutors that teach the 7Sage live classes but I have none of their email addresses. To further clairfy, I am referring to Julia, ALex, Bailey, etc. I have failed to write down their emails when they have shared them in class; would someone please share this information with me please and thank you :).

    hey i have a question

    lets say there is a logic game with a rule stating "j is number 2" should we still write that rule or only put it into our setup of the game because it is a dead rule. im asking because if there is a rule question at the beginning of the game it would be easier to get rid of the wrong answers by just looking through the written out rules that you have instead of having to look at both the setup and the written out rules

    Are you someone who wouldn't settle for anything less than 170? and have correctly your friends' questionable reasoning? Or while listening to NFL's play-off season stats and started to setup splits? Well, please join us in the next few days, we'll be doing live LSAT PT section on discord server, and subsequent reviews. Many of us are getting ready to take the Jan LSAT, (myself included). We are pretty serious people, and if you are not an unserious person with similar goals, come join us at the party: https://discord.gg/QrfxGD9eD8

    PT94 - S4 - Q10

    Is the solution D, because the stimulus does not mention which hospitals the patients are residing in? So even though one particular patient from City X is medevac'd to the hospital in City Y they are still considered a City X patient? Thus that is not a reason that City X has 1/4th of the patients of City Y?

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

    Hey everyone !

    I have spent about 5-6 weeks worth of studying on and off from October of 2023 to now (December 2023) and gone from a 142 diagnostic to today a 162, hoping to break into the high 160s to low 170s with a two week grind.

    RC - 7

    LR -7

    LG - 3~

    Any Tips ?

    I am taking the January LSAT and plan on having all of my applications submitted before the end of Jan as soon as my exam is over. I am applying to all the CA schools, but am curious...are my chances of getting accepted exponentially lower than fall applicants since I'm applying later in the cycle? If anyone has experience or insight on this please share! Thanks!

    January LSAT

    I took the lsat in november and this was my first time taking the lsat and I didn't really study that much maybe a couple of weeks. I got a 135 on the november lsat and after seeing my low lsat score I was eager to see with a couple months of studying would I make a huge jump or improvement before taking the January lsat. The test is in a couple weeks and I am overwhelmed with studying. I am a senior in college and the semester especially with midterms and finals have taken away some of my actual study time from prepping for the january lsat. I have taken a couple practice test and I still seem to be getting 135 on them and not really improving. I am at a crossroads because I wanted to see if I could get at least a 150 on this January lsat to get into this law school in my area this cycle. I feel like if it doesn't happen now I will not pursue it after I graduate this spring from undergrad. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
