I just recently got to the 160s and want a study buddy around my score who can meet virtual once a week. We can teach each other and push each other to do well! (Eastern time zone)

Hello,

I am looking for a study buddy scoring around my score band of high 160s to low 170s who is willing to meet online once a month (more if needed) to talk through some of the questions. I will be in Japan until April, so anyone that is willing to meet on a Saturday or Sunday JST.

hi! im currently in boston rn for school but i also live in nyc during the break and would love to have a study buddy (in-person or virtual). im planning for april 2025 but really i might take it all the way to june or august if i feel like im not ready. im pretty free on the weekends but i have some availability over the weekdays after classes and work

I know we always say practice practice practice and it will get easier, but I really struggle with reading efficiently on reading comp despite the practice. I am not a fast reader and it takes me a second longer to truly understand a sentence. If I do an untimed reading comp passage, I almost always get every answer correct..... but it will take me like 15-20 minutes. Then, when I do timed, I get almost 50% wrong. Help!! How do I read more efficiently on reading comp?

Hi y'all,

I'm just reaching out to ask if anyone can give me advice on my letters of recommendation. Is it important who the people are that are writing them for me? Is it beneficial to have people in prestigious positions write these letters for you? Should the letters all come from the same source (e.g., college)? Any advice would be great! Thank you so much!

AC that is descriptively correct but somewhat falls short of MP (but isn't completely off)

vs

AC that is stronger than what the passage said (but doesn't contradict), but except that captures the MP

Here's the example of the two

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-121-section-3-passage-2-questions/

AC A and D in Q6 are the example of the former and the latter, respectively.

I believe D is stronger than what it was said in Line 52~53 (Indeed ~ Intention), because

D is saying that "unconscious revelation" is guaranteed to happen, while the passage only gives it as sufficient condition (unconscious revelation → more authority)

Some might say that the passage is actually trying to guarantee "More authority & Unconscious revelation", but I believe it was given as a conditional relationship, because Q10 is to see if we have understood this relationship.

So back to my original question, do ACs like D always win ?

(I know we don't have do look for "perfect" AC when it's "most accurately" question. I just want to know which quality weighs more)

I'm going through the core curriculum and I got most of the drills from the W/S/E module wrong. it's crazy.

I feel very comfortable with the theory and strategy for this question type but when it comes to drilling, I miss so many of them! What is happening?

Looking for a study partner.

How can I print out PTs and individual questions for my wrong answer journal?

It helps me to blind review and create my wrong answer journal on paper and take the PT's digitally.

Should you study for the argumentative writing part? If anyone has completed it before any insight on what it is like? Is it a passage then you write an essay I am honestly not sure, I haven't looked into it because I have focused mainly on the LR and RC.

How soon do scheduling dates, times, and locations come out before your test? I am signed up for the April 2025 LSAT and have not gotten an email allowing me to schedule yet, I know it's still early, but I am wondering, for those who have already taken the test, when did you get an email allowing you to pick the date, time, and location of where you will be taking the test.

Just curious to know if anyone relies on the study schedule this prep course provides for them. Is that a good way to really get adjusted and familiar with the LSAT and get a good score or should I set up drills and go to live clsses there is just alot of resources in this prep I want to make sure Im using it correctly to where I will get a good score!

When is too early to ask for a letter of recommendation? There is a certain teacher I would like to ask, and it would make sense for me to ask for one now instead of later. However, I am unsure if it could be deemed too early, or if I will need to reach out to the recommender when submitting my application to have them submit their portion.

Hey Guys! I am looking for a Chicago In-Person Study Group to make studying easier, more fun, and more collaborative. I couldn't find a recent discussion thread so I thought I would make one :) Preferably we could have something based in the Loop or surrounding areas! Let me know if you are interested.

We're trying to figure out how to create default usernames on our new site. Do you want to be anonymous on the 7Sage forum, or in chat if we had it? Why or why not? Please take the poll and respond in the comments if you have more to say.

Im stuck getting 160-162 on my past four practice tests, how do I break out of this range and into the mid-high 160s. I take one a week, and practice using the drills everyday in between. I am majorly plateauing and need a way out asap!

I am trying to schedule for the Feb 2025 LSAT but prometric is saying there are no available times for 2/7 AND 2/8. Is this happening to anyone else?

Just finished my first year of attorney life (I'm licensed in CA). Open for any burning questions!

I previously posted my imperfect LSAT journey on my profile, so I'll spare you the background info again here. (See https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/21896/my-lsat-journey-is-over-144-166-rough-road-inspiration-top-3-tips)

I graduated from USC Gould.

I will quickly note that, regardless what you intend to use your law school degree to achieve, the doors a Juris Doctor will open for you will be incredible.

AMA!

Do you recommend getting the core curriculum foundation lessons down as much as possible before moving on to the lessons on logic and reading comprehension (as well as drills and PTs)? Sometimes I get nervous that I’m spending too much time on one foundation section. At the same time, I feel like it’s important and doesn’t make sense to continue with the core curriculum lessons if I don’t feel confident in a certain part of the foundation lessons. I just want to make sure that, although I'm spending time on foundational things I don't get yet, I'm not seeking perfection at those things either. I'm studying full time and only have 3 months, so I want to make sure I'm not spending too much time on foundations.

Hello,

I'm in the mid-160s, but I would really like to reach 170+. Would anyone be interested in studying together? I would really like to study with someone who's scoring 170+ so that I can learn methods you're using to help you achieve that score. Also, I'm happy to study with those scoring 160s to mid-160s as well. Unfortunately, I have very limited time because I work full time so please only reach out if you're really serious about studying and are already committing a lot of time into studying. It would also be helpful to study with someone in PST time (but also happy to study with those in a different timezone).

Hi all,

I know most law schools require 2-3 recommendation letters, but do they all need to come from professors or supervisors? I’m struggling to secure mine for my applications. So far, I’ve only received one from a professor, and I’ve sent out at least 15 emails to others.

For context, I graduated in 2020, and I’ve reached out to a few professors from that time—one agreed to write a letter, but another declined. I’m also currently in a master’s program, but since it’s online, my professors have expressed that they’re uncomfortable writing a letter due to not having in-person interactions.

In addition, I’ve been teaching, but I didn’t have the best relationship with the administrators at my previous school, so I’m hesitant to ask them for a letter. I’m about to start a new job, but I haven’t worked there long enough to ask anyone yet, as we don’t know each other well.

Any advice on how to handle this or whether non-professor recommenders could still be viable?

Thanks!

Hi,

So embarrassing but freshman year of high school, a couple of my "friends" and I got caught vaping in the bathroom (i know i know). Was suspended for a day or two. I am unsure whether to disclose this information since I am not sure if this is on my record or not. I also don't remember if my high school said they would put it on my record or not. For the character and fitness, do I need to disclose this or not. Some of them just say "professional school", but I don't know if i should call my high school or the law school and see if i should. I don't want this to end up resulting in not getting in to a majority of the schools. Didn't know freshman year was going to bite me in the arse now.

Any help would be awesome. If it is the case i do need to submit something, would this be a make or break factor?

Hello Everyone just started 7sage and looking for some encouragement. I was wondering if you could post what LSAT score you started at and what LSAT score you finished at. Also the amount of hours or roughly how long it took you to get that score. Also any words of advice would be appreciated.

Hi, I literally just signed up for 7sage and am starting from complete scratch. Basically the only thing I have done so far is a diagnostic test on Lawhub and scored a 155.

I realized that there is so much content after checking out the syllabus. As a result, I was hoping for some tips related to how I should study all of this material (for example if I should first complete certain sections fully, or combine sections and do a little bit from each all at the same time).

Basically any study guides/tips and approaches to how to best utilize this website efficiently would be amazing! In case this helps, I can dedicate about 2-3 hours daily on weekdays to LSAT studying and maybe a little bit more on weekends. If anyone would be okay with sharing their studying schedule or routine as an example, I would really appreciate that too!

Thanks for any tips in advance (3(/p)
