Hello fellow 7sagers! I know a lot of us have our LSAT either tomorrow or in the coming days. I just want all of you to remind yourself of how much you have studied and to have confidence in your ability! You worked HARD and you should believe in the effort that you have put into this test. It's okay to be nervous, I'm nervous, but I also know that I've put hundreds of hours into studying for this test, just as many of you have. Set your heart ablaze and overcome your limits!! Hoorah!!!! (good luck to everyone lol)

We just published this new skill builder:

It's like a game. Let me know what you think.

My first LSAT is Saturday, and I’m wondering if folks who have taken it before think its best to keep studying the night before, or take the evening off and let your brain be?

Im thinking of continuing to study and drill the evening before, but go to bed early to rest up, and then just review the reminders I’ve written myself on the morning of, but I was wondering other people’s thoughts/approaches?

If anyone is having a hard time with LR and feeling unmotivated or frustrated, look no further than the work of Kevin Lin. Kevins videos on this platform and his earlier content on youtube explain some of the most frustrating concepts in LR in a way that always makes sense and is oddly reassuring. He always seems to have figured out the best way to get me to understand the concept or problem, and I appreciate it just as much every time. I discovered his work before I even had a 7sage account and was so delighted to see he works for the awesome team here at 7sage. I know he's active in the discussion page so Kevin if you're reading this, thank you from your biggest fan! You've helped me (and I'm sure many others) through a lot of stress-filled days and nights!!

Hi all! Recently, I've received a censure in my school for conduct. Censure is one level above an informal warning and one level below probation. To my knowledge, I heard all applicants have to release all disciplinary records they received. I really want to go to law school and work in a field, but I am not sure how much my censure would affect my law school decisions or how competitive I am. I have a 3.94/4.00 UGPA and haven't taken the LSAT yet. I'm just not sure whether most of my dream law schools would reject me or not offer any scholarships or aid because of my conduct record. If anyone knows about these kinds of issues or has relevant experience, please help me and share some advice. Thank you all in advance!

Hey everyone,

I just started studying for the LSAT today and I'm looking for a good wrong answer journal template. Does anyone have one they'd be willing to share, or know of a thread/resource that has a solid template?

For context, I took a diagnostic and scored a 139. My goal is to reach the 160s by the fall, so I'm trying to build good habits from the start and make sure I'm reviewing effectively.

For those of you who use a wrong answer journal, I'd also love any tips on how you actually use it. What information do you track? How often do you review it? What made the biggest difference in helping you improve?

Any advice from people who started in a similar score range and made significant gains would be especially appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I am taking the LSAT for the first time this saturday and the during the previous two weeks, I was scoring at a 162-164 and then suddenly this week I seem to be doing 7-10 points worse all of a sudden. I am getting things wrong that I never have before and when I blind review, its like I suddenly stopped being able to read and comprehend when I was drilling and pt-ing. During the blind reviews, I am able to easily get the correct answer so I don't understand why I keep getting it wrong the first time all of a sudden

Now I feel like the more I get wrong, the more I get into my own head, and then the worse I do which makes me really nervous for saturday.

Any tips or advice to get out of this cycle.

On the bright side, I definitely plan to take the lsat atleast once more

Hi, I am taking my first LSAT this week. I have studied a lot and I know I am prepared, but I still have really bad testing anxiety and the anticipation of testing day is making me worried that I may start freaking out during the test. My heart beats extremely fast when I am nervous and I am scared that will happen and I will panic.

Does anyone have any tips to overcome this anxiety?

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me or has advice: I am not feeling ready for the June LSAT. It could be a mix of anxiety but also I have not been PT consistently at the score I want. I did get score preview but this would be my second time taking it (1st time was last year and didn't consistently jump back into studying until start of this year). Should I just reschedule to a later date? Should I just do it? Will it look bad to take it 3 times? What about if I cancelled the score and taken it later.

Feeling frustrated, confused, anxious, plzzz help

Taking the June exam in 3 days… just PTd for the last time and scored 7 points lower than my last PT. Really frustrated and not sure what I should do.

Hi everyone!

When I was in high school, I took dual-credit, AP, and dual enrollment classes. These classes went to my local community college transcript, from which I hence earned an associate's degree. Then, all of these classes transferred to my undergraduate institution. I was wondering if I should submit my high school transcripts to the CAS. I'm not sure how it would affect my GPA. When I emailed LSAC, they send me an email basically saying that any institution that granted me college credit would need to be included, and technically my high school did so through AP, even though it then went to my community college.

I am especially nervous about inclusion because I did a non-linear path; I was the first person from my high school to earn an associate's while in high school (private high school).

I don't want to over submit, and mess with my GPA or anything. But, I also want to make sure everything is submitted. I feel a little weird submitting high school classes, obviously. Please let me know if anyone has been in a similar situation and what you did!

Hello! I'm located in the Richmond, VA area and I'm currently registered for the September LSAT test date. I'm looking to get a score in the 160's and would love a group of people who can hold each other accountable/check-in/discuss any strategies or tips with one another. Feel free to join even if not in RVA!

Hi guys im scheudled to take the august LSAT and was wondering if anyone is from san deigo so we could do in-person study groups, if not I am looking for anyone in cali that is up for online zooms or study groups or anyone on pst time

Hello everyone! I have recently started to study for the LSAT, and I am taking it in August. I have not taken a full PT since my diagnostic (166). However, I have been taking full-length sections and averaging -1 on LR and -2 on RC. I am from the Bay Area and would love a study partner around the 170's as well to study with me this summer. Let me know!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a consistent online study partner for the September LSAT. 

I am currently studying from 10am-4pm CST and would love someone to check in with daily. I'm hoping we can support each other, keep each other accountable and motivated, and review questions and section together.

I'm located in the greater Houston, TX area, specifically the Sugar Land/Richmond area, and would be open to meeting in person if anyone happens to be local.

Please reach out if you think we would be a good fit!

I been going to the lessons library and expend lessons to find the flagged ones. Is there an easier way?

Wrong answer journaling, the process of explaining and reviewing your wrong answers, helped me go from a 155 diagnostic to a 177. This was the deciding factor in getting a full scholarship to a T-25 law school (because it definitely wasn't my 3.3, well below median GPA lol).

I wanted to take some time to explain 5 methods of wrong answer journaling that might help you review and see the questions in different ways.

1. Explain every wrong answer, not just the one you got wrong

This is probably one of the most helpful ways you can increase your understanding and depth around each question. You definitely want to understand your own individual wrong answer choice, but if you can go the extra mile and understand why every single wrong answer choice is wrong, you'll be that much better on guard against similar choices in the future.

2. Visualize the problem

This can actually be pretty helpful for taking the test in the first place, but drawing things out has been helpful in the past when I'm having trouble visualizing what's actually happening in the stimulus.

You can use the annotation tool to do this on www.lsatjournal.com to save diagrams to each entry as of... well, yesterday.

3. Summarize and break down the stimulus

Sometimes, you just weren't able to translate the stimulus into its most basic logic. Maybe it was a specific word or confusing phrasing that tripped you up. Logging every time this happens and writing down the simplified version of the stimulus can do wonders for your overall "translation" ability.

4. Come up with a "lesson" for that particular problem, and turn it into a flashcard

I like to think about every single wrong answer as a critical lesson. Sometimes, that lesson shows up across multiple problems that you get wrong. That's the point at which it becomes your own mistake pattern that you want to identify and defend against.

I would have ongoing lessons and add the new question ID on a flashcard every time I made the mistake - this helped me keep a running list of all of my major issues so that I could be mindful of eliminating things on a pattern level instead of just an individual problem level.

5. Take a break

This is less related to wrong answer journaling and more to what effective review looks like in general. If you're getting to the point where you're making the same mistakes and burning yourself out, sometimes just a few days or a week off can help your brain reset and internalize all of the work you've already been doing.

-----------------------

Anyways, good luck out there y'all. And I hope this helps in your study journey.

Hello, I am down for partnered up wth people in Chicago who are willing to study. I am available from 6pm weekends.

Hi! I'm unable to click on answers in the new interface RC drill. I've been doing RC drills w the new UI and haven't had an issue before, but today I can't click on or cross off answers. I didn't see a button for "stop passage time tracking" (the way the drills in current Lawhub version do); lmk if I'm missing something.

I was just wondering, when law schools (specifically in USA), calculate GPA, do they just look at the letter grades and convert that using that LSAC scale and ignore the percentages? And if so doesn't that give an advantage to schools where an A+ is a 90% instead of the high 90s?

Hi all, I have finally reached the clarity of mapping RC out for structure as opposed to content and wanted to know how I could maximize this approach while still pacing during the section(s)?

Many thanks

I find tutor responses in the comment sections for specific questions really helpful. It would be great if I had the option to filter to see only those when I got to the comment section.
