I am looking forward to making some study buddies and or eventually making a study group server with like-minded students. I plan to retake the LSAT exam this November. The last time I took it, I totally bombed it. I'm talking about going in with little to no studying since I got too busy with other matters. I'm sharing that embarrassing piece of my LSAT journey because I know I'm not alone. This time, I want to tackle it once and for all. Study buddies help tremendously as multiple brains working together are always better than one. Considering how helpful the comments are under each lesson, I can only imagine how helpful we could all be in a real group setting on Discord. My UGPA isn't the problem, but having a bad LSAT score just looks super bad. Even as a splitter. Most will get what I mean. I've lost a great chunk of motivation for studying after graduating. I just need to stay motivated and I know that when others work together, it feels less lonely. It can even become fun and highly motivating to work together. I hope I get others on board with this post. Message me your Discord user and I'll add you. Let's crush this thing together!! Please and thank you!
Editing to just add in my username since I am switching services soon. My account will probably be named as deleted but the forum may still be active so yeah. I am still active on discord and would still like to have study buddies! My discord user is: ientj
I started studying for the LSAT in June, and I plan to take the test in September. I spent the first month learning the core curriculum and then spent the first half of the second month doing some untimed sections and the second half doing a full timed PT a day as well as BR and going over the wrong answers. My scores keep going up and down, but I don't see an overall drastic improvment from my diagnostic. My average score as of now is a 145-146, and I'm trying to find a way to get that up, but not sure how to do it with only one month left until I take the LSAT. Any tips or advice? Would be greatly appreciated.
How do I print out prep tests? Before there was a view pdf blue button which would then provide me a passwork to my email, however this option no longer shows up.
This question kinda had me befuddled in my initial PT and my blind review, and still I am struggling to understand the question after both. Any chance someone has a better idea of how we can arrive at the answer being C using the question stimulus?
Hi, as I was studying the syllabus today I tried to move on to the next section and received a "404 error page not found." I tried to select another section of the module to see if it would work but the same error occurred, I cannot access any of the material. Is the site down for anyone else?
Hey everyone! Many users are encountering errors on our site today. We're aware of the issue and are hard at work on a fix right now. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you to everyone who has brought this to our attention!
Edit at 11:45 AM EST: And we're back up and running, folks!
Hello, I have not taken my first LSAT so far and I signed up for the August 2024 LSAt but I have not been scoring within my desired range. I am off by 15 points. I want to submit my applications by October. Should I reschedule for September or later?
Hello, I know many of us have the error 404 message and its highly inconvenient. Hopefully the IT technicians can fix this, I was really looking forward to drilling right now as I know many people were also in the mood to study.
Hello,
Whenever I try to open a page regarding any syllabus lectures, it shows Error 404. I have restarted my laptop, logged in and out, and closed and tried to open it.
Please advise on how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
Trying to build a drill of "incorrect when last taken", but since I only have 4 left, it won't let me select the smallest increment (5 questions)...
While accessing the materials the site crashed and displays a 404 Error. I know this had previously happened a few months ago. I'm not sure what happened and what I should do to expedite the fix.
Tried to study and none of the course work is popping up everything says 404 error code , what to do to fix it ? I tried signing in and out and exiting the site
What is going on?

Receiving Error 404 and can't study
Thought I would share my story, if it's helpful to anyone, of how I navigated the LSAT and transferred into Georgetown.
I took the LSAT in Nov 2022 and scored a 158. I retook the LSAT in Jan 2023 and got a 163. Everything is relative, but at the time I was really disappointed (I hoped to break 170.)
I applied to law school but regularly debated delaying and reapplying the following year with higher scores. I applied and got a number of offers, including Davis, and got amazing scholarships from UC Hastings (UC Law SF), Brooklyn U, and a full ride at Seattle U. I took the advice of 7Sagers and was able to negotiate up these amazing scholarship offers. I, ultimately, accepted the offer at UC Hastings where I now pay 1/4 tuition. I knew in my heart that I'd be a better law student than a logic game player. I could have delayed another year, been a year older, and still not gotten the 170. I chose to start school.
How'd it go? I really enjoy law school. Seriously, I do. And I did pretty well in my classes (I ended approx. 30-40/400 students) despite a vicious curve. I also made great friends, worked really hard, and learned a lot. Despite the scare tactics, you don't need a 4.0 to transfer. My GPA was enough to transfer into Georgetown Law.
UC Law SF is interesting. Happy to speak with folks about it. The curve and conditional scholarships make it a very competitive place. The professors have been excellent, but the community is lacking. One of the biggest bummers for me is that in this fascinating, polarizing, confusing time in the law, you'd never know it from my school's events. Very few speakers or symposiums -- makes you feel like you're in a bubble, not the academic heart of it all. The new law building (333) is beautiful though and SF is an amazing city.
As I see it, I was able to secure two great options: a generous scholly at UC Law SF or a discounted Georgetown diploma (basically, 1 year "free"). So if you can't get your LSAT score where you want it, there still is hope that you can get where you want to go. I really think, in retrospect, there is value in just going. It's always possible you'll love your non-T14 school and also possible you'll hate law school so figuring that out sooner is helpful. I also think there is a misconception that transferring is really hard/impossible.
All of that is to say, I remember the panic and futility of not being able to get my score where I wanted it. Don't forget your "score" is not your identity, and it doesn't fully predict how well you'll do at law school or where you'll end up.
I have been heavily studying for the LdSAT for about 2 weeks now. I have watched part of the videos of the foundations and parts of other important info. After that I have been focusing on drilling. My plan currently: I am just doing drills along with blind reviewing and watching the videos per question I get wrong or right. 5 questions per question type. I start at the medium difficultly until I get at least 4/5 correct, then I increase the difficultly and will start doing prep tests when I feel comfortably with each question type for LR and RC. I was wondering if this plan is good. Is there anything I should add or change.
Also I am focusing the first month on not worrying about timing and then will starting timing my drills when I feel ready. Any advice on when I should start timing myself per drill?
I cannot find my notebook containing all my notes from the core curriculum, and was wondering if anyone had written down the recurring cookie cutter themes for the science passages (low resolution summaries). I vaguely remember there being like three separate themes with the one as follows: paragraph one containing two competing hypothesis then the second paragraph being an observation that might support one hypothesis over the other and so forth. If anyone could please help me out it would be greatly appreciated!!!!
So I just took PT 132 (new format) and I am frustrated because I recognized almost all of the LR questions either from drills or JY's video lessons. It is my understanding that these "new" tests are just sections from old tests put together for the sake of practicing the new format, but these are the same old tests that 7sage pulls from for lessons. Obviously you cannot preview the test before starting it, and I want to know that the test I will be taking is entirely new beforehand since I feel like that test is now entirely useless in assessing my score.
Is there any way to know which of these new tests are actually comprised of all clean questions? Has 7sage looked into this and created a way to avoid this issue? Has anyone else experienced this and found a way around it?
Hi all,
I've been studying for about 5 months, testing 154, would like to get to the 160s. Shooting for November LSAT. Struggling a lot with my overall pacing, especially on RC. My weak areas in LR are SA, PSA, and Flaw. I work full time but try to get at least an hour in per day, some days more, 5 days a week. If anyone would like to join me in studying or just share any advice you have found helpful, please feel free. Just been feeling stuck, and like my studying is not leading to improvement. Thanks so much in advance!
Hello. I have noticed that the Law School Admissions Predictor appears to overestimate my chances of getting into some of the listed law schools. For example, there is one school in which I supposedly have a 69% chance (likely target) of getting accepted, although I am below both medians for LSAT and GPA. With this in mind, should I continue to utilize the Law School Admissions Predictor in narrowing down the list of law schools that I should apply to this fall?
I currently live in Indianapolis, IN. However, if anyone plans on taking the September LSAT, I am looking for a small group to hold each other accountable and help one another prepare. Reach out to me if you happen to be interested!!!!
Confused on what the value judgments section of LR questions is and how I can practice these types of questions
I was wondering if there was a way to take a 3-section test similar to the one they offered with the last format. I essentially just want to take a PT with RC LR LR, just complements my studying style better
I am starting a Discord group of people scoring 165+ with the primary purpose of doing blind review calls (everyone takes the same section of a test and we all discuss it before knowing what the answers are - essentially we blind review together) at least twice a week. Of course other discussions are welcome on the Discord as well.
Why BR calls? I believe that BR calls give an opportunity for lively discussion about not only questions, but technique. Presumably, we will all have our own areas of weakness and strength, and thereby ways we can both assist, and be assisted by, each other.
Why 165+? I realize this comes off as arrogant, and that 165+ is a very small percentage of people, but my sincere belief is that having similarly scoring people will keep the conversations largely relevant to everyone. I believe that someone scoring in one bracket versus another is likely to have significantly different topics that they should likely be focusing on. For whatever it is worth I'm averaging a 171 over the my last 5 pt's.
If interested please send me a private message - if you have any questions please respond below.
Thanks for reading and good luck to all in this brutal endeavor, the LSAT.
