New feature: Study Plan Phase 2 - Practice

Study Plan Phase 2 - Practice is here!

Phase 1 recommends lessons from the Core Curriculum based on your diagnostic score and the amount of time you have to study.

Phase 2 recommends Drills, Sections, and PrepTests based on your Analytics. This is in beta so I expect there will be some bugs. Any and all feedback welcome!

Phase 3 (coming soon) will help you prepare the week leading up to your exam.

I am currently working through Core Curriculum (CC). In doing so I came across a broken link titled Fact v Belief v Knowledge. I do not recall seeing this covered in the Foundations. I cannot access this information via the link. In the video explanation of the problem regarding Job Loss called: Lesson 3 - Job Loss J.Y. refers to a "Ground Level Truth."

Here is the link to this lesson: Lesson 3 - Job Loss

What is a Ground Level Truth? How do we access the lesson to the broken link?

Finally, does anyone have any addition feedback they can provide on this question?

PT 143 S4 Q10 (this was the question used in this lesson).

It was a bit tricky for me.

I am a 56 y/o (yes, I had to go back and count 😊), military retiree, working on my 3rd career and taking the LSAT. My vet friends would say, “padding the obituary” a bit.

There are many of you that are worried about your scores and how to increase. You are doing great! I would love to be where you are at that age, but life took other turns.

Take a deep breath, and land where you land. A great career awaits you on the other end.

If there are others out there that are coming in at a higher-than-average age, I’d like to know how you are coming along? I’m not going to lie, this is hard to sort through the “logic” and after a career of “bottom line up front” writing, I’m having a hard time figuring out what the questions are really asking.

Any input or words of encouragement are welcome.

🙃 Confused

Glitch

Hello, is anyone else having glitches when doing the blind review? My initial score was 100% then during the blind review, it told me I had one wrong, and when I redid the question the blind review was 80%.

Hi - specific idea here, if anyone aligns with this and is interested please reach out:

I am a career flipper, I’m 43, taking test in Nov. I’m PT’ing in the 150’s and my goal is 165 by Nov.

I struggle with the patience to BR, and my primary issue is I give up a lot of questions early on in a LR section that I should be getting.

Idea here:

-drill set or timed LR section

-BR together

-review AC’s

I’m in EST, work full time, so my availability is between 5-7 EST on weeknights, mostly open on weekends but this is when I PT.

Thanks!

Seeking Study Partner/Group

Hi all,

I am in Miami, FL- Eastern time. I feel like a study group would be amazing to hold each other accountable and see what we get wrong and review together and provide each other with new insights or POV's we haven't thought of yet.

I took the August and September LSAT- I can share my scores and Information if you would like to see if were in the same ballpark and to tell you how it felt and what went wrong for me,

I am very excited to see my September score- but I have a goal of getting a 165 ish,

I would love a study group in these last few weeks of grind time,

My schedule is open before 8 AM most days and after 6PM (Mon- Fri) and completely open on Saturday and Sunday!

Lets do this thing!!!

Should I Apply?

I'm not sure if I should apply this year with my LSAT score, my stats are that I have a 155 LSAT and 3.59 GPA, which I know isn't the worst but I also know that it significantly limits my options for law schools. My top picks are University of Oregon and Lewis and Clark, or Loyola in CA, but I'm not sure if I should apply this year or study and apply next year with a 160+ score. I do want to go to law school as soon as possible though, but I'm not sure if my stats are good enough.

Data Export

Is there a way to export our analytical data? I would like to use ChatGPT to review my analytics and drive a new study path for myself in 7sage. I cannot wait for this development to hit your platform. I have 8weeks to LSAT.

Hi,

I am planning to take the LSAT in November and am looking to find an accountability partner with buckling down. I am in the Washington, DC area and would love to do a combination of virtual study sessions during the work week and in person study sessions on either Saturday or Sunday. If you’re interested please let me know :)

I had the worst situation happen yesterday. I was taking the test on my Microsoft Surface Pro (looking back I probably should have realized not the best system). I had run all the system checks and passed. I logged on to take my test and my computer froze when I went to do the ID verification. I still had a few minutes so I rebooted and relogged in. I got through the room scan just fine and they popped up the chat box. Before I had time to tell them that I couldn't write in the chat box they put me in a breakout room waiting for the new proctor.

The new proctor came in and I couldn't see what they were typing in the chat box. I told them I couldn't see it and that I couldn't type in the chat box. They opened up the LSAC system and I logged on but nothing showed a test or what to do. I was asking the proctor to come off mute, repeating that I couldn't see their chat or type in the chat. I started messing around in the LSAT tab trying to find the test (probably not a good idea, but I was panicking). I hung up, freaked out a lot, calmed down and called LSAC and told them what happened.

I am rescheduled for the October exam and have asked for it to be in person, but no guarantee that there will be a testing center in my area. So I went out and bought an actual laptop.

I am still worried that I have missed something and do not know where to go to find the test and could have the same problem in October. Should the test have immediately come up? Should the proctor been able to speak? I know that I should be able to type in chat and see their chat.

Hi! I was recently approved for accommodations due to a medical condition. I will not be required to take the variable/experimental section of the exam.

For PTs do you all recommend I skip the experimental or should I take it regardless since its not a part of my score? I'm worried if I take it in the middle of the exam the score won't be reflective of my testing experience.

  • Show me which ones I missed on BR when I'm reviewing the test! Right now it only shows red X for those that I missed originally, and nothing about BR in the Q list at the bottom. Especially important for if I get one right then change it to wrong in BR it's still a green dot in the drill/test review, I have to leave the review and go to the drill summary to find the ones I changed to incorrect in BR. Ideally this wouldn't ever ever ever happen, but I am not the ideal test taker (trust me I know). Those are definitely Qs I need to review since I obviously don't understand them.

  • When you do a drill, it would be awesome if it would give me the appx LSAT score that it correlates with. Or have somewhere the conversion from raw % out of 100 to LSAT score. I know it's not exactly how it works, but it helps me get a sense of how I'm doing in LSATese.

Just some thoughts + unsolicited opinions based on my last couple weeks of studying. I <3 7sage!

How to Study?

So I've been studying for the LSAT since May, and after taking the test in August and not scoring well I am back to the drawing board. I began restudying about 2 weeks ago and while I already feel like I'm understanding the test even more this time around, but I want to make sure I am maximizing my study time so that I am actually making progress that translates to increases in my score. 2-3 weeks leading up the the August LSAT I felt really stuck. I was making no progress in my score and it felt like I was doing all I could, but not seeing any results in terms of a score increase.

That said, does anyone have any tips for studying the 2nd time around? Is there anything I should be doing differently? I want to make sure I am getting something out of every study session so that I can start seeing increases in my score.

Hi all - looking for some motivated study buddies currently PTing in the 155 - 165 range looking to break through 170 by Nov.

I am on east coast time (DC-area) and my consistent study windows are 5am - 7am and 8pm - 9pm during the week, flexible on the weekends.

I envision we could:

  • Select a drill set to work on in-between meet-ups and blind review together

  • Complete entire sections and blind review solo, then come together to review outstanding questions we have / provide our own explainers to one another

  • Work through some problem sets real time

Let me know what you think! We've got this! We can do hard things! If interested- please message me direct for further coordination.

PS: Not that it matters, but so you know what to expect, I am a 35F with a full-time job and kids.
