I'm an undergraduate student juggling full-time work, full time study while living independently. My current gpa is 3.8. In my initial attempt at the LSAT, I began with a diagnostic score of 135. Despite dedicated self-study since September 2023, my November LSAT score was 143, falling short of my goal in the 158-160 range. This was disheartening, especially considering my average practice scores were in the 150s. As a mature student, I'm eager to avoid waiting another year.
Seeking guidance, I've never enlisted the help of a tutor, relying solely on self-study. I'm now seeking advice on recommended books, potential tutoring options, or any resources that could aid in reaching my goal. Any assistance or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Hey Team!
I took the November LSAT and scored a 180. I wanted to come on here to thank JY and the 7Sage team for their materials and keeping the community vibrant, as well as leave some parting words for struggling LSAT takers.
I think my diagnostic was around a 158. I studied on and off for two years because I was working full-time, but quit this past June to focus on the LSAT. Logic Games were extremely unintuitive to me, but I kept doing sets and watching JY's videos until they made sense. For RC and LR, I found that not highlighting and instead giving differential weight to the conclusion and tone of the author or conclusion in connection to premise was easier for me and also saved time. For context, I read a lot of literature and was an English major in undergrad, so this might work better for people who have existing reading skills.
That said, I was plateau'd between around 165-168 for three months. It was awful and demoralizing, and what helped me improve was grinding LG and then relaxing in my approach toward LR and RC. I found I was anxious about a lot of questions to the point that I wasn't actually trying to solve them. I spent some time sitting with difficult LR questions and simply trying to understand the logic through a lens of language and simple understanding. I hope that helps someone here!
Anyway, I'll be leaving here but good luck to everyone. The LSAT does not define you, but you can see massive score increases if you work for it. Lots of love!
Hi,
I'm looking for some folks who would want to do in-depth review of questions/tests in anticipation of January 2024 lsat (but also any test date before June which will be the last LG administration). Happy to do all three sections.
I currently have an 8-5 (PST) job so I'm mostly available either after work, on the weekends, or before work.
I'm open to meeting online through Zoom or something similar.
Current range is from 169-175, but by no means am I only looking for study buddies who are within that range.
EDIT as of 12/5/23 -- I do weekly facetime calls on Discord to study with others..message me directly if you want to join!
Hey all, I attended a regular US university for undergrad, and that is the only school I attended after high school. I also attended a regular US high school and got a regular high school diploma. I took a couple of AP classes and got college credit for them.
I submitted my transcript to CAS, and I got an email titled "LSDAS Notice of Unacknowledged Transcript" saying that I did not disclose an institution and listed it as an "Unknown School".
I began questioning myself if I had unknowingly attended another school, but then I realized about my AP credits. So I looked it up on reddit and people said you don't have to submit high school transcripts because college credits are received through AP exam scores, not grades from high school. So I emailed LSAC, and their response felt a bit automated, but they said "The law schools wish to see the original transcript from every institution that granted you college credits, including college credits earned in high school, credits transferred to your degree-granting school, and credits that may not be part of the degree you earned."
I have nothing to hide on my high school transcript, but the transcript sending service doesn't include LSAC, and LSAC also doesn't acknowledge my high school as an institution. And I agree with the reddit comments that my high school transcript would not show the AP credits I received.
Does anybody know if it's normal for AP credits to cause this kind of mess?
I don't know if this is common, but I have seen great improvements in logic games especially, now averaging around a minus 2, and similar (but not as extreme) increases in LR. Oddly enough though my RC has been dropping and I find myself more confused than ever.
I am looking to discuss with anyone who is completing or completed a program with a Hybrid Law school (ABA). This is what I am planning on doing and I have a few questions on what schools had the best online programs.
Hi everyone! I am planning to take the April LSAT and will begin studying (hopefully) tomorrow. I wanted to see if anyone had any advice on how to set up my studying using 7Sage. I know that there is a curriculum but I noticed that when I put in my start date to my end date (test date) that it says I'm not studying enough hours a week.
When I took my first diagnostic (Preptest 66 on Khan Academy) I scored a a 137, with my scores as the following:
I do work full time, so if anyone has any advice on how to study while working a full time job that would also be appreciated! I am excited to get started... and I am open to any advice anyone may have. What's worked best for you, where you saw your most improvement, and how I can structure my time to maximize my return on investment.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Are there any examples of how you annotate and highlight passages on the actual online test. Since all the explanation videos I see involve writing directly on the passage, they do not seem that helpful for the real test.
Hello! I recently moved to Gainesville, FL, and am currently looking for a study partner for the January LSAT. Is there anyone out there who is local to the area and might be interested?
I just took the November lsat and got a 162. My gpa is around a 3.88 but I think it might end up being higher when CAS adds in my scores from other schools. I really wanted to go to Fordham Law but I don't think I'll be able to get in with this score. I know I could do better because I was scoring between 163-169 on practice tests. Should I cancel my current score and take the January test? getting scholarships is really important to me because I am paying for law school all on my own. I am nervous all the money will be gone if I wait that long.
Hello! I recently moved to Gainesville, FL, with the hopes of attending UF Law. I'm looking for fellow prospective Gators to connect with. If interested, please let me know!
Needing help. I have taken the LSAT twice (June 2023 & November 2023). I have received the same score (142) on both and am deciding whether to still apply before the end of this year. Thoughts? I know I could re-take the LSAT in Jan. or Feb. but I feel like I am not scoring high enough since I am still in undergraduate and trying to study for both is difficult to do. I also do not want to have to take a gap year/semester.
Hey y'all, I got a 155 on the Nov LSAT after getting a 148 on the August LSAT, and I have a GPA of 3.8 from UCLA in your opinion should I retake the exam again in January or do you think I will get into a couple of schools here in California with my stats? I'm super duper over this exam and just wanna be done, and I truly do not care what school I go to so long as it's local I'm okay. what do you think I should do? do I have a chance? or should I try again?
Hey hey, 7Sagers!
We've got another Proctored PT coming up for the month of December, which will be held Saturday Dec 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:
You must register in advance using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0vf-itpjouGt1RtQb5OFFLndPR5Ppks8_K
Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.
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 will be able to test with those.
If you have any questions, please comment below or email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

Just got my score back from Nov. and super disappointed. Diagnostic of 147 and last few PTs have been 160-164 range. Got a 159. This is my first time taking the LSAT. I want to go to UGA, but their median is a 169...
Hi everyone,
I took my November '23 lsat, and the Prometric program didn't work properly. I was logged out 8 times during the test and had to go through the whole check-in process over and over again. The time was stopped, but I am not sure if they counted all my answers. My LSAT score was really low, but I thought I did better because it seemed easier than the ones I had done before. Is there anyone who had an issue during their proctored exam? Also, is it worth doing a score audit or just retaking the exam in January? Thanks in advance.

HELP ADMIN
Thank you SO much!!
I really need to solve this game and having a difficult time so would like the explanation.
Hi all! In need of some advice for canceling or keeping my score for November's test. I scored a 146 and now I am thinking of taking April's test instead of January to see significant improvement (which means I will probably not apply this cycle like I intended). Two questions (1) is it worth it to cancel - I believe I was not as prepared as I should have been coming in to the test and (2) Is it best to give myself more time to prepare for a better score or should I try again for January in hopes of scoring better and applying this cycle (168+)?
hi, guys!
if possible, i'm looking for some advice - thank you so much in advance :) i have taken the LSAT four times and canceled one of my scores last october due to extenuating circumstances.
my fourth score, the nov. 2023 LSAT, is much lower (:/) than my highest score and i'm worried would put me in a disadvantageous position considering that i'm applying this application cycle, which i was planning to in the next couple of days but hadn't expected this. considering that i already have one score cancellation on my record, do you think that also cancelling my nov. 2023 LSAT score would be harmful to my application?
any and all thoughts are appreciated!!!
I hoping to get my first two games down to a relatively speedy pace so I have time on the second two. What tags/difficulty should I be drilling that are representative of the first two games?
Well with the Nov test scores out, I finally have my stats and am ready to start applying.
2.47 CAS GPA
168 LSAT
7+ years WE with upward mobility
T3 softs
Pretty decent professional LOR
I don’t have any real geographic constraints (though my local regional school is my target.) Looking for splitter friendly schools and those likely to give scholarships to someone with my background. Thanks for any help!
Re-posting this in a more organized manner so everything is in one place. Here is some context.
Last attempt for this cycle.
150 -> 155 -> 159.
I need a 161 at least to be at the median for my dream school. 2 more points.
Of course most of us feel less pressure / whole different dynamic practice test vs. real thing, but I was scoring 163 - 167 for the last 10 tests I took prior to the October LSAT. Not sure if my brain freezes or what. My average was 164 so I was expecting a 160 at least.
Please help, how can I get these two extra points? What would you do in my shoes?I guess Im asking if i retake all the ones i took and start from scratch 7sage? or focus more on review? obviously with the performance anxiety of it being real doesnt help me but instead is a deterrent, i need this to feel as "fake" and relaxed and possible. what do i do study method wise? Im willing to put in the work next month but dont know what to do study method wise.
Any help or insight would be much appreciated. thank you in advance
i did it already but now i heard about the new core curriculum for the august test and beyond. i want to take the test after august so i will be taking the test without logic games
