Is there a way to do full LR or RC sections on their own, then blind review just that section without having to start a full preptest and complete the whole thing before being able to blind review? I just want to work on timing in individual sections without doing a whole PT

Hi everyone,

Hoping to connect with people who are struggling to get out of the 140s and those who've succeeded. I did a diagnostic at the beginning of May to figure out where I was, and scored 140 (138 raw). After two weeks of consistent studying doing drills and listening to modules, I did my second preptest today and scored 145. Though I am pleased with the increased score, I'm a bit frustrated because I felt the burnout during my second RC section (I had 2LR + 2RC). My eyes began to glaze over the reading and I began skimming for important parts that I may be asked to answer and ultimately got an entire section wrong, which would've had at least a 5+ increase on my overall score. How do I get around wanting to literally pass out from switching my brain from looking for evidence/flaws to reading comprehensively?

I'm going through the RC curriculum and keep reading Kevin's suggestion to try to do the low res summaries mentally due to time. Timing in RC is 100 % an issue for me. Personally, writing down the summaries has increased my RC score but I am still short on time. I just find if I don't write it down I get panicky & get lost. I find it way harder to retain without writing it down. With that being said, if its really worth trying to do it mentally, I'll try but not sure its best for me. I comprehend things best when I write them down I think. What does everyone else do? What are your reasonings behind it?

I skipped the blind review of a PT because I wanted to see my score but didn't realize I wouldn't be able to blind review after it lol...

I still haven't checked my mistakes so I could still benefit from a blind review. BR score is just greyed out in analytics now.

Any way for me to BR now or is it too late?

Currently getting great results on my drills but when I take and actual practice test it's like I lose all of the progress I've made in the drills. Does anyone have tips for getting my stamina up so I can do better on the actual exam?

I purchased LawHub Advantage AFTER I linked my 7sage account to my LSAC account. However, I still receive this message in 7sage, despite having purchased LHA:

"Your account must be linked to an active LSAC LSAT LawHub Advantage account to access licensed materials. Please link your account to avoid any interruption in service.

You successfully linked 7Sage to your LSAC account, however your LSAC account does not have an active LawHub Advantage subscription. Please purchase or renew LawHub Advantage on your LSAC account directly from LSAC by logging into lawhub.lsac.org, then tapping on your name in the top right corner, then “Upgrade to LawHub Advantage.”"

Anyone have the solution to this?

Hi 7SAGE folks! I wanted to share a bit about my experience working with the consulting team (not sure if this is the right place).

As a first generation law student, I could not recommend the admissions support enough, truly. I was extremely fortunate to be paired with Will Carpenter (writer) and Selene Steelman (admissions expert). I worked with Will step by step to devise my personal statement and additional essays. This process took months, beginning in late August. Selene served as a good check person throughout the process and offered a perspective from inside admissions. She made sure the final material was vetted and ready to submit. On top of that, another 7SAGE editor reviews all the key documents -- resume, personal statement, and statement of perspective.

By all measures, I've "outperformed" my stats, and I know (for a fact) that my essays were crucial to my cycle turning out as it did. I've received acceptances to almost the entirety of the T-14 (including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, UPENN, and UMICH), even being offered highly competitive full tuition scholars at some of these schools. When visiting these programs and connecting with admissions and scholarship committee members, I repeatedly heard praises about both the content and form of my essays. Even hearing that they were among the most unique, compelling, and cohesive essays they've seen.

I say all this because it would not have been possible without the 7SAGE team. I almost succumbed to the pressures of rushing to submit my essays to feel like I had my application in "early". That would have been a grave mistake. My 7SAGE team guided me to slow down and give my story the time, patience, and care it deserved. They reminded me that it was okay to take the time I needed.

Will went through NUMEROUS of my drafts, sometimes even weekly, and left insightful comments that pushed me to tell my story more poignantly and vulnerably. Will worked meticulously, not just on the big picture but on the line by line things (grammar, syntax, diction). Whenever I was stuck and even when I reached some lows in the process, he cheered me on and created space to talk about the stress and doubt that come along with this grueling process. A lot of times this looked like dedicated time to simply talk my ideas out with me, reminding me that my story matters. I felt like Will was truly invested not only in my admissions results but also in me: my passions, my convictions, and my lived experiences.

I am happy not only with my outcomes but with the process itself. I feel like I ended my application knowing, even more certainly, that law school was for me and that the path I was pursuing was the right one.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or if I can be of help in any way! The 7SAGE community was such a rewarding one, from LSAT studying to interview prep, and I would love to give back!

Doing a question throughout the curriculum, I don't see the button or option for 'blind review.'

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction?

I took my first two PrepTests on LSAC before subscribing to 7Sage, but I was hoping to use the 7Sage Analytics without having to manually input each answer, especially since measurements like elapsed time would be inaccurate. Is there a way to import LSAC PT scoring into 7Sage Analytics? If so, how do I do that? Thank you in advance!

I'm gearing up to take the June LSAT in a few weeks, and I'm aiming in the range of 166-171. I've been consistently scoring within this range the past two months or so, and have on occasion scored above, the highest being a 175. As I mentioned, my plan is to score within my range for June (which I am fully confident I will be able to do come test day) and then really hone in my weaknesses during the summer in anticipation of taking the test again come the fall right before the application cycle. My goal score for this test would be 172+ to have a better shot at the more competitive schools on my list. If you have ever been in my position and have any advice for developing the ability to score consistently in the 172+ range, please let me know!

How do you get past that hurdle of my gut reaction in BR being to just stick with the answer choice I chose on the first go around? I feel like I'm falling victim to confirmation bias, like when seeing my chosen answer again the second time, I'm just automatically coming up with and reaffirming the same initial (albeit wrong) reasons I thought it was correct, and then glossing over what I first thought are issues with the true correct answer. So BR, at least so far, has been really ineffective at getting any improvement in choosing the right answers.
