Hi! The August LSAT was my first time taking it officially, and I got a 174. It's honestly better than I expected. I was pretty confident immediately after testing, but my PT average up to the test date was around 171-172. I was doing PTs every day though so maybe I was burnt out a bit?

I had signed up for the Sept LSAT in case I needed to retake, so by this point if I don't retake, it's not refundable. I've done two PTs since the Aug test, scored 177 and 179. Have also done some drills just to keep myself in the mindset.

Originally, my target is UCLA but I'm definitely open to other T-14. Since I've already paid for the Sept test, I'm wondering if I should just take it or if it'd look bad if I retook after getting 174 on my first time. I'm above all 75th percentile GPAs if that helps.

Thanks for any advice!

Feeling very discouraged as I was scoring in the 165-169 range on my PTs and got my score back in the high 150s from the August test. I got test anxiety as I was taking it and ran into timing as an issue which does not usually happen. I knew after I took the August test it would not be my best, but I didn't think I would go down that drastically from my average PTs. I am taking the September test and also registered for the October one just in case. I know I can get a much better score, but I am feeling a little bit deflated now. Anyone have any advice or also has had this experience?

Hey, y’all. I took the LSAT in August and my score came back today with a 140. It’s not what I wanted, but it’s also not the worst that it could have been. I’m shooting for a 155 and want to retake it in a couple of months.

What’s the best strategy from here to prepare for a retake? Thanks!

I went from 168 in June to 171 this Aug exam. uGPA is 3.96, T3 soft (1-2yrs of WE in tech company), nURM (East Asian non-US citizen), with two degrees. I'm signed up for September exam which is right around the corner but I think even if I retook, the max I could score is 173. I've also exhausted every single practice exam so not sure what to use anymore for resource...

Dream school is Berkeley (median for 2023 cycle was 170; 3.83) - planning on applying ED but not sure if 171 is enough as the median was 171 in 2022 cycle but dropped to 170

Whether you're taking the official September LSAT or not, this free event is for you. We are offering Proctored Prep Tests every month this fall, with our first one this Saturday, September 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:

Register using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwocu2trzsjGdRNM5GT3ELED-H67u3gGlHH. Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting! Save that for Saturday.

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'll be able to use those.

If you have any questions, please comment below. We hope to see you there!

I got my first LSAT score from Aug. back today and scored a 172. My original goal for admissions was 173+ and anything below I would retake, but this is just close enough I feel concerned about retaking/tempted to not retake. I’m already registered for October. I'm not sure if it's worth it compared to starting on my essays now and applying in Nov.

I was honestly fortunate to get the score I did. I didn't feel as well-prepared as I could have been study-wise (crammed for 4-5 weeks, totally my bad). I was averaging ~169/170 in the weeks leading to the test, highest PT was 174, BRs 175/6. However, I didn't -0 the LGs on the day-of, which had been my goal and which I am capable of doing on PTs (ran out of time toward end and guess-timated a few Qs on last 2 games).

If I really buckled down in the next month, I think I could do a bit better in Oct. I don't want to have any admissions/scholarship regrets down the line, but I'm just not sure if it's worth what seems to be a few points increase at best. I work 40-50 hours a week, so I couldn't focus on both LSAT prep and essays.

uGPA is 3.77, T3? softs (prev. grad degree, 2-3 years work exp. in policy/law, a few publications). My dream would be to get into NYU for PI, but aiming for T14s in general.

Any advice would be appreciated! (Also s/o to the 7Sage curriculum for even getting me here at all!)

Why is it that the questions in problem sets pull from PrepTests beyond PrepTest35? I thought they only pulled from 1-35 to keep newer tests fresh!

How can I make it so that the problem sets only pull from Test 1-35? There was a previous post where someone from Student Service said that problem sets only pull from 1-35, but this is clearly wrong!!!!!

Hello,

I am looking for a study group in the Boston, MA area. I am looking to create a group of individuals interested in teaching and learning from others, while acting to keep one another accountable. I have no preference for scores or actual test date. I hope to apply next cycle so I aim to have the LSAT done before then. If you're in the area please consider reaching out! Thank you.

Hi all. I have two solid academic LORs and I'm wondering if I really need to try and get a professional one. I graduated in 2019 and my jobs post college haven't been very consistent (shorter stints in various different industries). I've also dealt with some health issues during this time as well. Do you think my application would be weaker if I only submit academic LORs since I've been out of school for 4 years? Any advice welcome. THANKS!

Hi all,

🚨 Looking to meet other actual humans that are just as crazy as you to want to study for this beast of a test? 🚨

The search ends here, with our 7Sage Study Server on Discord.

If you've been following along with this story, you may remember our score-segmented Discord servers for finding study groups. If not, perfect! Ignore me. As we continue to learn how to make 7Sage a better place for everyone to learn the LSAT, we're streamlining the study spaces we offer to best meet your needs.

I've retired two of our servers ("145-155 Scorers" and "155-165 Scorers"), rebranded what used to be the "165-175+ Scorers," and will be inviting everyone currently in each of those servers to join our (unified) "7Sage Study Server!" We'll have more brilliant minds to lean on when you're stuck, more study sessions, and more discussions. If that overwhelms you, fear not, for there will still be channels to meet with smaller groups.

📣 To anyone looking for an ongoing study hub with multiple chatrooms and voice/video lounges all in one place, join us:

https://discord.gg/9FKeyhmqs3

Check it out, introduce yourself under # introductions, start posting questions you need a second opinion on under the # help page, plan meeting times under # session-planning, and explore all of the other channels. We can add more rooms and grow as we go!

🙋‍♀️ I posted an assignment in the # session-planning page. Go there, get started, and join me in the General Voice Channel from 9-10 pm ET on Wednesday, August 30th and Thursday August 31st to talk it through and kick off some productive studying.

P.S. If I've learned anything about Discord in the past few weeks, its that those links that claim to "never expire" still somehow stop working at a point. I will be checking in every few days to make sure the link works, but don't hesitate to comment below if you have any trouble joining, or any questions at all!

I'm currently studying for the September LSAT and I've been averaging a score of 159-160 on my last several practice tests. On one hand I'm proud of myself and excited because 160 was my initial goalpost when I started my admissions journey back in May. I also know that combined with my other stats, a 160 could yield great admissions results. However, I worry that if I do score the 160 as I'm averaging, I may not be accepted to some programs I want and/or won't receive a good amount in scholarships. All that is to say I'm wondering if I should apply with my average score (if I end up scoring that way) or if I should sign up for the Oct LSAT in hopes of a better score?

Note:

I'm applying to programs ranging in the 150s rankings to T14.

I have a 4.0 GPA, majored in Political Science, have a legal internship, high honors, owned a small business at the start of college, and have worked all throughout college.

Hi is there a way to link my lawhub tests to 7sage? I took one on LawHub assuming that the scores/answers connected to the 7sage platform but don't see it. Is this an option?
