How do I go about using this? Do I start with completing the syllabus and do drills simultaneously?

I scored 155 in October on the Official LSAT, never scored higher than 156 on PTs prior. I have only been on 7sage for 3 weeks, since I decided to test again. I watch the videos while I crochet, it's that simple, and I have gained so much understanding about the LSAT compared to before subscribing. It's truly insane. I am taking the LSAT again in January, and I am so excited/amazed to have broke 170s this morning, with a 171PT. Can't stop, won't stop, til January LSAT! Thank you 7Sage!
Hi everyone. I am not entirely sure where to post this so I am posting this here. I was going through the RC lessons on V2 because I am planning on taking the test post-LG and I thought it looked a bit bare It only had explanations for science passages. When I looked at V1 I saw tons of material that doesn't show up on V2. I am not sure how difficult it is to fix but it would be greatly appreciated if I could look at the other RC material without having to use V1.
This is only my second week using 7sage and I am loving it so far!
HELP! I am continuously scoring 151 on preptests, and my blind review score is 163. I have gone through all of PowerScore materials, all of 7Sage, and have even met with a tutor for many hours. How do I improve my score by the January test? Why do I keep scoring 151? Any help is appreciated.
Hi everyone,
I've waited so long to post this. Never give up, there is always hope.
TLDR;
Graduated Undergrad in 2016 - 2.49 GPA.
Got introduced to LAW from a friend and as I did research I fell in love with the field.
Started Studying for LSAT in Sept 2018
1st test - Jan 2019 - 137
2nd test - July 2019 - 145
3rd test - June 2023 - 152
LSAC GPA 2.35
I decided it was time to apply because I knew I couldn't do better then 152, plus I did not have the money to pay for a tutor and I'm 31, so I don't have time to keep studying. I got a family to take care of.
I submitted my applications on Sept 1st.
I got my first Acceptance to a part time program in October with a 50% Merit Scholarship. Ranked 100+ Law school with a pretty decent bar pass rate.
I got denied by the worst law school in the United States - Cooley (Honestly, this was the school I was hoping to get into if no other school accepted me, it was my final option, even if the school is terrible)
I got waitlisted to a law school that is ranked in top 100.
Waiting to hear back from 2 more law schools.
Main point - NEVER GIVE UP. I have worked so hard to reach this point. Look at my stats.... I got into LAW SCHOOL with a Merit Scholarship.
I got denied by the worst law school and that is totally fine because another school saw my potential.
Please don't doubt yourselves. Keep working hard and everything will fall into place.
BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!
I took J.Y.'s advice and decided to look into meditation for a better mindset for the LSAT. No doubt does low-confidence and anxiety affect your test score; I truly believe that calming down my racing thoughts and incorporating positive self-talk before taking practice tests has helped me tremendously! This meditation exercise is PHENOMENAL...not overly cheesy, and it's geared towards a focused mindset (which I desperately need during RC lol).
Even if you're skeptical, I suggest listening and trying it, because it could result in an unexpected score increase like it did for me! I plan on using this right before signing onto ProctorU on test day as well. Good luck to everyone!!
Is the website down?? I cannot load my drills . 7sage kindly look into this. Thanks #help
I've been using 7sage for almost a year and this is the first I encounter this problem. The video just keeps loading but won't change to the play button. But only for PT69 LR19 to 25, other PTs and Qs worked when I checked. Also, they worked when I tried to play them on my phone, so I am not sure what is going on...
I tried everything that's been said on this forum:
Hey Everyone I am A 5th Grade Science Teacher in the Dallas Area. I am studying for the February LSAT and would love a Study group that is willing to meet in person to go over some Practice Sets/ Practice Tests/ And specific question Types. I am Striving for 165+ with Two months remaining. I am available Mon-Friday from 4 pm-9 pm and weekends are flexible I am currently in hyperdrive right now and have a lot of studying to do to be able to achieve my goal. I am just looking for some students who are serious about working and would like to tackle this task together.
Hello everyone,
I am looking for some tough advice at this point. I have been prepping for the January LSAT for about 4 months now, and have got one month left to go before I take the test. My goal score is 170, and I am currently testing at an average of163 timed, 170 BR, although I have gotten a 171 on PT 55 timed. All other timed tests are at about 160-165. What can I do to reach my goal score by January? For some background, I have the luxury this month to dedicate as many hours a day as I want to test prep, and this is my only focus for the next 30 days. I'm taking some time off work, and I've already finished my undergraduate year 4 fall semester.
I am familiar with all of the core curriculum on 7sage, and have read the PowerScore books as well. I would say my weakest section is reading comprehension. Sometimes I can get a -3 or -4 on the section, other times I get a -9 or -10 and I can't figure out why. I average about -4 on LR and -0 to -4 on LG. Because of the inconsistencies on my practice tests, I am looking for any tips on how I can achieve my goal, and be brutal! I am willing to do whatever it takes.
I guess I really struggle with RC because I find it so boring, lol (i know, who doesn't). I also have a tendency to overestimate how well I have done, and when I get a score back that is lower than what I wanted, I feel like my confidence gets shaken. I am already aware that I have to really spend the time doing BR and not get frustrated, but I guess I'm looking for some concrete methods than you guys can recommend to me!
Hello, I'm looking for people to hold each other accountable to a regular schedule and to work through PTs/Practice Sets. I'm West Coast and work full time so I will only be available >6pm PST. I'm planning to use Discord which you can add me on as Azimoth#0071 or DM me for a link to the server (I don't want too many people randomly joining who won't be active).
Here's an outline of the study plan I was thinking:
Monday: Take a [time] Practice Set whenever you want, then we discuss what we missed later.
PT70 S1 (LR), 7:00pm review (what I'm doing this week)
Tuesday: TESTING TUESDAY! Take a [timed] PT with simulated flex whenever you want during this day.
Full Practice Test, PT87 (Simulate Flex) (what I'm doing this week)
Wednesday: Go over what we missed on the Practice Test from the day before.
PT87 review, 7:00pm (what I'm doing this week)
Thursday: Take a [time] Practice Set whenever you want, then we discuss what we missed later.
PT70 S2(RC), 7:00pm review. (what I'm doing this week)
Friday: day off
Saturday/Sunday: Take a [untimed] Practice Set together and talk through our thought process
PT70 S3 (LG). Work together, untimed. Time TBD
The next week will follow a similar schedule, working up in practice set numbers and down in practice test numbers so that by the April LSAT we'll more or less have covered the 20 most recent prep tests. We'll also rotate which section we do together so that we'll have experience doing each section type alone, and with each other.
Hi. i just love to think of the worst for fun lol (sos) but i take my first lsat in january, i think i'll have a decent score. i'm really just aiming for like a 155-157. but let's just say i don't get that score, would law schools look at a second, even 3rd attempt in a bad light? thanks.
I've been studying this site for over a year and I consistently get only half right on LR. There is no specific question type that I have an issue with but it's all up and down the board. Each test is a new group of question types wrong, so right when I think I have something mastered I don't. What can I do to get about 18 right instead of 12 right consistently?
I'm in the early stages of studying for the LSAT, and am planning to sit for the Aug 2024 test, to apply to schools for the F25 semester. I am struggling to understand how law schools will evaluate me, and how I'm supposed to report my GPA, because I went to an undergrad where I didn't receive grades. Instead of grades, for every course, I received a narrative evaluation detailing my class participation, the subjects I wrote papers on, my performance on those papers, and my strengths and weaknesses in the class (for better or for worse). In general, I felt my college performance was good, but it's hard to evaluate because it's qualitative data.
I took classes at other colleges in the area, and did receive 5 grades.
Are law schools going to calculate a GPA based off these 5 grades? Does anyone have experience with this topic? Does anyone have any suggestions insofar as who I could reach out to at LSAC or otherwise for answers?
For this question I picked A, and then B for final. I now know that A is the right answer, but I want to be sure that I understand why I had gotten this wrong.
For a short recap, Oscar's conclusion is "Thus a country's economic well-being will not be a function of its geographical position but just a matter of its relative success in incorporating those new technologies". Here I am thinking okay cool well-being is determined:
Geographical Position --> Incorporating those new technologies
Now for Sylvia, they counter this because they say that it is due to the poor country (the south as mentioned by Oscar), is not able to acquire the $$$ to incorporate the tech. They conclude by saying that it will only "widen the existing economic gap between north (rich) and south (poor)".
So going into the questions, I chose B because I thought that since the poor countries didn't have $$$ for implementation that it would cause the gap. However, I see that A was right because widening the gap meant that the rich prolly wouldn't know how rich they were unless the poor were some amount of poor? However, what does "natural resources" in A mean? Could it mean economic? Oil? I believe that was a part of what tripped me up, but I believe another was the assumption that I made which didn't allow for me to truly grasp Sylvia's conclusion.
Anyone have any suggestions when going into these questions? Or ways that I can improve in NA?
Hey! I am taking the January LSAT and I have been struggling with RC. When I do untimed passages, regardless of difficulty (whether its 1 or 5) I will usually miss like 2-3 questions on like 6 or 7 passages, but when I do a timed section ill miss anywhere from 6 to 9. If anyone is willing to share any tips or tricks they use for RC I would truly appreciate it. I am trying to bring down my RC to around a -4. If you're struggling with LG, I have gotten that down to a consistent -0 and I'll be able to share some tips as well. Please let me know, thank you!

Hello,
I'm taking the LSAT again after a break from studying. How can I delete where it shows how many times I've taken a prep test or problem set?
I can't load the question table section under the lsat analytics page. Whenever I attempt to do so, I'm getting a Wordpress error message that says '504 Gateway Time-out'.
I had requested help under the live chat, where I was told to try deleting the cache or switching to a different browser. I have tried both options and it didn't work. I've also tried using other devices, including the 7sage app, but I'm getting the same issue.
Hey everyone,
I am planning on taking the January 2024 LSAT. I have been studying for quite a while now, and am scoring in the range of 152-155. I recently just decided to purchase 7sage due to the overall positive results it has produced for students. I have been PT'ing using 7sage as well scoring within that range, however, I have been scoring between 166-168 on my blind reviews. Here are my averages for each section:
LG: -6/-7 (-1/0 BR)
LR: -9 (-5/-6 BR)
RC: -10 (-5/-6 BR)
One of my overarching issues is pacing. I can't seem to quite get to where I want to be given the time constraint. This usually forces me to skip a LG section, and forces me to miss a fair amount of questions on both RC and LR. Sometimes, depending of difficulty, I may skip a LG section while being about 50% on each answer for another.
From all of this, I would just like to know what I should do going forward with studying. Should I go through 7sage's modules and work each section out? I work about 30 hours per week, and since my graduate classes are completed for the semester, that is really my only obligation as of now. My goal score is to get around a 160. Thank you so much!
Working a LG in the LSAT trainer (p.210), and I need further explanation on why this is the correct answer choice. Specifically Q2. I am including Q1 for context.
Seven coffees - F, G, and H from Brazil, and L, M, N, and O from Colombia - will be showcased on three different displays. One coffee will be displayed by itself on stand 1, and the other six coffees will be evenly split between stands 2 and 3. The following conditions apply:
F is displayed on stand 2
One of the displays will have exactly two Brazilian coffees
L and M must be displayed together
F and H cannot be displayed together
Q1) If O is displayed on stand 2, which of the following must be true?
(A) H goes on stand 1
(B) H goes on stand 3
(C) G goes on stand 2
(D) N goes on stand 1
(E) N goes on stand 2
ANSWER: (C) G goes on stand 2
If Oc is on stand 2, the only place Lc/Mc can go is stand 3. This forces Gb on stand 2, since there needs to be a bb combo, and Hb can't go with Fb.
1: Hb or Nc
2: Fb, Oc, Gb
3: Lc, Mc, Hb or Nc
Q2) Which of the following must be false?
(A) A Brazilian coffee is displayed by itself
(B) A Colombian coffee is displayed by itself
(C) One stand displays only Colombian coffees
(D) Two stands each display both Brazilian and Colombian coffees
(E) No stands displays only Colombian coffees
ANSWER: (E) No stands displays only Colombian coffees
For (E) to be true, each stand must have at least one Brazilian coffee. However, this cannot be true. Therefore, (E) must be false.
My thinking... If I take the diagram I used to answer Q1, which is
1: Hb or Nc
2: Fb, Oc, Gb
3: Lc, Mc, Hb or Nc
and I assume Hb is on stand 1 and Nc is on stand 3, I get
1: Hb
2: Fb, Oc, Gb
3: Lc, Mc, Nc
which follows all the rules, and has a stand that displays only Colombian coffees. So how is the answer choice, "No stands displays only Colombian coffees" - MUST BE FALSE?
I appreciate the help. I promise I am joining 7Sage after I finish the LSAT trainer. Thank you!!
I have probably taken 5 practice test up to this point after having finished the curriculum and I am starting to feel defeated. My first test I scored a 162 and BRed to get a 169, which I was very happy with. Since that test, my average has been a 156 and I don’t know what happened. I feel confident when answering and then get my score and feel like I know nothing. Is this a normal thing when beginning prep tests? I have four months left of studying, so I am trying to gain advice from others!
How many practice tests is too many to take in the span of a week? I have registered for the January LSAT and have only started studying Oct 30. Which will give me 2 months and a week of prep, which I know is not ideal. I have completed all power score bibles, so I have been doing their logic games workbook and doing random sections. Because of my limited time, would doing more than 1 practice LSAT a week hurt more than help?
For people who are preparing the LSAT and plan to take it after August 2024, that the original LG section will be replaced by an additional LR section, how is everybody utilizing the PTs? Since the PTs are past exams, they include the LG section. But LG will not exist in the exam anymore starting August next year. But if we simply skip the LG section when doing the PTs, our scoring will not be an accurate reference. What are people doing to overcome this?
