I am a stage 3 cancer patient taking the October test. I requested accommodations because my treatments and surgical procedures have affected me physically and cognitively, but I haven't heard back, and it's been almost two weeks. I called LSAC but was told to wait a few days before calling again if I still don't have a response. Any advice on what to do next? I'm getting a little worried.
I took the August 2020 LSAT blind and scored a 162 with no study (and not even knowing all of the sections).
I just finished studying for 6 weeks and took the August 2023 LSAT and scored a 159. I didn't finish (guessed completely on the last game as I ran out of time) and I didn't have any extra time left over for one of the LR sections (very unusual as I normally have around 3 min to review). I am testing again in October or November, depending on if I think I am catching the holes in my studying. I was PTing between 163-168.
Should I cancel my August 2023 score? I'm really on the fence.
To everyone who responded to my last survey—thank you! Your responses are going to help us build a better 7Sage. Now I’ve got another one with another set of prizes.
Are you interested in joining a study group? Take a short survey for a chance to win a free edit by one of our professional writers. (We’ll pick two respondents at random for the prize.)
I'm on the hunt for a study buddy or study buddies to join me on my LSAT prep journey. I'm looking for someone who are committed and driven.
Here's a bit about where I'm at: I've been scoring in the 168-172 range, with my best performance hitting 177 (somehow!). I was initially signed up for the September LSAT, but I decided to drop it because I didn't feel consistent yet. My new plan is to take the October test.
My study routine involves taking one practice test per week and doing focused drilling. I've mastered LG, so I'm looking to improve my RC and LR. Of course, if you need help with LG or any other area, I'm more than willing to help.
I propose that we meet at least twice or three times a week to study together, review materials, and keep each other motivated and on track. Don't hesitate to reach out.
Whenever I click alternate explanation, or I try to play a video explanation from the drill set interface, the video doesn't have any images. I can hear JY's voice, and I see a blue cursor moving around, but no text or diagramming or anything. Is this a browser issue? It doesn't work on either computers I've tried, nor my phone's browser.
Are there some question types that are more likely to have causal or conditional reasoning in the stimulus than others?
can someone explain this answer to me please
Looking for a study buddy but prefer to have a group of people where we can discuss questions and help each other out once a week and just keep accountability or just a group chat to ask questions. Im studying on my own and it can feel exhausting sometimes especially when there's no one else to ask help for on a question! Mostly looking for those scoring anywhere from 140s to 160.
Hi!
Could someone please teach me how to schedule your time for remote testing?? I am taking the October one.
Have been trying to do it on Prometric but it gives you testing locations instead of options for remote setting, and I am very confused... Thanks in advance!
What happened to 7Sage Bar? I’ve heard excellent reviews from the course and was planning on enrolling. However, I see that it was cancelled, why is that? Which other prep course would anyone recommend?

I was wondering why you can't use C as a contrapositive?
I interpreted C as Universal feature + not invention -> innate ability
/innate ability -> /universal feature or /not invention
It says money is an artificial invention unlike language, which is an innate ability
And it says money is universal
So couldn't money -> /innate ability -> /universal feature or /not invention, and since it is a universal feature, can conclude /not invention? Or is the mistake that I am interpreting /not invention to mean invention, when it simply means it's not not an invention?
Thanks.
Hello everyone I was hoping to gain some advice from other people experienced/ currently taking the LSAT. I took the LSAT after 1 month of studying in June 2023 and got a 155. I studied solidly for 2 more months and planned to take the August sitting. Like many of us, I had proctoring issues in the first take of the August 2023 LSAT so I opted for a retake a week later which I also had (less) but still some distracting proctoring issues which lead me to loose focus and completely panic but I still decided to not cancel my score as I was hopeful even though I was completely thrown off I could still do well. My score unfortunately dropped to a 154 which is around 8 points below what I was averaging/ hoping to get on the test day. I have signed up to retake it in October but am unsure about whether I should cancel the August score considering it isn't even that different to my June score and a cancellation could indicate that I actually did far worse than 155. Further, if something goes wrong in October I would hate to have a double cancellation on my application. My current gut feeling is to not cancel it and leave it as is but I would appreciate some advice. Thank you :)
Hey, just wondering if it makes sense to BR RC? LR and LG makes sense but for some reason I am having a hard time justifying BRing RC sections.
Hi! I previously took the LSAT and got a 172 last Fall. I decided not to apply last year, but as I am applying this year I want to retake it and score 175+ in October.
I am scoring 172-174 on Ptests currently as I review again. I am on EST and would be flexible to review online as my last day at work is coming up next week.
A big fat sincere Thank You to everybody who makes discussion posts and comments on JY's lessons. I swear I've read hundreds of them that made me laugh or helped me understand questions. You guys are the unsung heroes. You helped me get through hundreds and hundreds of hours of question review. Keep it up and don't forget, "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage". Just wanted to say thanks
👥 Study Group Name: It Depends
🔢 I'm currently scoring: 149-157, aiming for 170 or higher
📆 My planned test date: November 2023
📈 To study, I have: Gone through CCv2, have taken a few PTs, and took the August 2023 LSAT. Retaking in November, so I'm not starting from scratch.
🔑 My goals for this group are: to keep each other on track with study schedules, thoroughly review sections
🔍 We'll focus on: Each section lol
📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: Wednesdays 7pm MST on Zoom, maybe more frequently if that works for anyone. I plan on having the group do the same PTs or practice sections separately, and we can review the material each week together and go over tricky questions.

Hi! If anyone is taking the October 2023 LSAT and would like to be added into a GroupMe GC please comment.
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know about the updates LSAC has made to the LSAT test dates for October and November.
Along with the already announced test dates for October (October 13 and 14), LSAC has now added test sessions on October 15 and 16. LSAC also added more test dates to the November schedule. In addition to the previously set dates (November 10 and 11), there will now be test sessions on November 8 and 9.
The new test dates include both remote and in-person sessions, and this won't affect the score release date!
My first official LSAT score was 129. Not a diagnostic literally an official 129 5 years ago while I was a senior in college in 2018. 129-139-145-149-145-157!!!! Don’t ever give up! I literally watched so many friends and colleagues of mine get into and graduate from Law School before I could even get a LSAT score in the 150s. I felt like such a failure. Do not give up ever!!! The test is learnable it can be done. Thank y’all for all the tips.
After using 7Sage for the past couple months, I was able to dramatically increase my official score (18 points!) to a 179 on the August test. I'm really appreciative of all the great resources provided (including the amazing podcast from Henry and Aastha). Now all that's left to do is apply!
I am looking for a private tutor either online or in the Tampa area to begin meeting with before the November LSAT if anyone knows of anyone please comment!
Which Lr on pt 88 is the experimental section? Also I average between a -3 and -6 in LG and just got -10 on this pt. I am planning for the sept test and can't really pull out of it. Should this be of concern or are the last 2 games pretty rare?
I took the LSAT for the first time in August and scored a 156. I am retaking in October and applying for Fall 2024. Should I cancel or keep my score? My problem was timing as I ran out of time on the test. I am confident that I can improve my October score by increasing my speed. My fear is that if I cancel this score and do not do well in October that I will be screwed when it comes to getting my application in this cycle. Any advice?
