Ive been studying for the LSAT for a while now, I've done the core curriculum and all that. I write my LSAT in January to apply for fall admission. For months now I'm scoring 158-163 spamming PT's everyday, and I just seem to have hit my peak.

I only need to improve a couple points so I score in the 160-165 range consistently, as that will get me in the school I want. I'm just not sure how to improve anymore. It feels like I'm not getting better, I'm just doing PT's and getting the same score. Typically -5 on LR, -3 or 4 on LG, and -8 to -10 on RC.

Any tips? I wanted to do a tutoring session, but its too expensive for me.

After applying to several law schools, I decided to sign up for the January 2023 LSAT (with score preview) to see if I could boost my score, even though I'm fairly happy with my existing score (in the low-170s) from earlier this year. However, I was wondering if law schools would be able to determine from my CAS report that I've signed up for a future LSAT exam and, if so, whether they would delay the processing of my admissions materials until Jan score release (scheduled for Feb 1) accordingly?

For instance, I noticed this disclaimer from Berkeley Law -"If you are registered for a future standardized test administration (no later than January 2023), we will automatically place your file on hold until that score is received. If you want us to complete your file before receiving this score, you must email us at admissions@law.berkeley.edu to make this request," and I was wondering if other law schools had a similar policy? For most of the law schools I'm applying to, I would much rather have the admissions council evaluate my apps earlier in the cycle, instead of placing my file on hold until Feb 1 when they receive my Jan score, since (1) I might end up using score preview and canceling my score anyway and (2) I'm worried most slots will already be filled up by Feb 1, so I would much prefer applying with my existing score rather than wait until that late in the cycle and risk getting waitlisted, etc.

TLDR: I just wanted to check in and confirm whether CAS would report the fact that I've registered for the Jan LSAT and, if so, whether I should reach out individually to law schools and request that they evaluate my apps before receiving my Jan LSAT score? Thank you so much!

Hello,

Throughout my LSAT journey, LR continues to be my weakest point. I've started to do drills lately to significantly improve my understanding. However, on the timed score I've been averaging -12-14 but on the BR score, the average is between -2-5/section. Some issues I've started to notice are, time, not reading properly on timed sections, misinterpreting the AC's, or just kind of freeze & freak out. As soon as I BR, I'm able to see my errors and choose the correct AC. I do take anywhere between 2-4 hours to complete it. I understand that it's not an ideal time-frame, my goal is to improve on my time strategy. But, can anyone offer any advice or help for the huge discrepancy between my timed and BR score? Or should I just keep trying to improve my foundational knowledge and time?

So I registered for the Jan LSAT, expecting to get more info on exactly how the test was administered, what devices are compatible, what I need to bring etc. So can someone explain the dynamics of how you actually take the exam? I have an new 2021 Ipad with keyboard and want to make sure that’s compatible with taking the test.

Are there restrictions on where I can take the test? I dont have a place to take it at home so I’m looking into the best places for taking it that also satisfy all LSAC requirements (aka renting private study room in Library).

What am I allowed to bring with me? Ive been doing all my PTs with a blank piece of paper to write notes or draw diagrams but if im taking it online am I allowed to do that?

LSS: how do I make sure I’m fully prepared for the exam and dont have anything surprise me on exam day. Any suggestions/rules are appreciated!

Hello everyone I just finished the CC and am still having difficulty with LR section under timed conditions. I have a pretty large discrepancy between my score under timed conditions and untimed (150’s Timed to 170’s untimed).

I just got the loophole because I need to improve my LR performance but I’m unsure about it’s effectiveness and whether it’s worth going through it if I already completed the CC.

My question to you is for those who have done both the CC and Loophole or just Loophole what do you guys suggest is the best way to approach the book. Should I even bother? If you did the CC first do you find it more confusing now to go through the book? What are the best benefits of the book?

Anything will be appreciated!

Hey guys,

Just want advice from people on the application process. I'll be brief. I went to a very good school for undergrad, Notre Dame, but because of the difficulty of the school and a few personal issues and learning disabilities, my GPA was a little lower than I'd like it to be.

I ended senior year with a 3.54. Just wondering whether or not law schools take into account the difficulty of your undergraduate school when assessing your GPA

I'm wondering if it is important to have a different approach for example science passages as opposed to a humanities passage...

Hi, does anyone know if we are able to see to see past drills we've completed? Thank you.

I couldn’t speak more highly of 7Sage. J.Y. got me through the LSAT in three months, scoring 172 my very first time! I honestly couldn’t recommend their services more. You guys truly have an outstanding and spectacular team!

Does anyone know what the difference is between the tags "grouping with sequencing" and "sequencing with grouping"?

thanks!

Just out of curiosity, are there any disadvantages if I ask for a fee waiver?

I haven't logged into 7Sage in a while because the application process got hectic but having received my first acceptance, I realized I owe a big thank you to 7Sage, my tutor, and the 7Sage Admissions Consulting team.

I started my LSAT journey feeling like I was doomed to fail (I'm pretty sure I took 35 mins to attempt my first Logic Game). I self-studied for a couple of months and was getting nowhere but when I started using 7Sage, things started to click. 7Sage was instrumental in getting me from 151 to low 160s and then I hit a big plateau. That's when I met @Mike_Ross who identified exactly why I was hitting a block and guided me through overcoming each specific challenge I had. By the end, he became part tutor, part psychologist, and part cheerleader. I don't think I would've gotten the score I did without him!

Then it was time to actually apply. As a first-gen student, I was scared of the process so I signed up for 7Sage consulting and had an amazing team to guide me through each step. Their professionalism and enthusiasm in my journey kept me sane and helped me present the best version of myself to schools.

So thank you! It takes a village and I am a perfect example of that.

Hi

I am thinking of doing a few drilling questions but I am afraid it is going to use up the precious PTs from 35 onwards. Does anyone know where the drilling questions are sourced? If they are only within 1-35 then I can do drills worry free.

Thanks so much.

Is A the right answer because it's refuting the claim that polls influence voter decisions and hence the need for them to be banned one week prior to the election? I can see why it's A from process of elimination, but it didn't seem too appealing as an answer choice. #help

can someone help? I don't see a distinction between both levels of oxygen

I don't understand why this answer is correct. I chose (B), but the correct answer is (E). Please help me! I can't find an explanation online.

I'm getting late 160s to early 170s BR, but still stuck in late 150s to early 160s in real time.

Is anyone familiar with teaching students at this stage?

Or better yet, anyone who's been in this situation?

I would love some tips.

I think my LG is good, but the rest...

I have four months till I take my LSAT in April and i'm still more than worried. I can't stop thinking about everything that can go wrong. I took my first diagnostic on the LSAC website but without the timer feature and got a 154. Which I was happy about to have never cracked open a book but now I realize, Its a possibility I set my self up for disappointment now that time is now a factor for me. I'm taking another diagnostic tomorrow and i'm really worried about beating myself up about whatever score I get.

I signed up for LSAC's field study which is coming up this Friday and Saturday. I am not sure how to schedule a day and time through LSAC. If anyone has signed up for this and knows how to schedule a time please lmk! Thank you.

Dear 7SAGE-ers,

I have been preparing for my LSAT for quite a few months now, am doing well on practice exams, but have a fair bit of variability between my scores. I have scored as high as 177 and as low as 163 on recent practice tests. As a result, I want to take the LSAT multiple times.

I have heard you can take three LSATs a testing year (from August-June) does that mean I could take the LSAT 3 times before that, and still take additional exams AFTER the June LSAT?

Cheers

So, I don't know about everyone else, but MSS just kept getting more and more difficult, and I feel like I have so much more to practice before I get it down.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to practically continue studying MSS? I want to be able to deal with the difficult questions a little more.

Much appreciated!

Hey guys,

Is this the experimental section always the third or fourth section for the new online LSATs? I remember earlier when they first rolled out the online LSAT there was no experimental, but now there is.

confused on why D is the correct choice, I chose c as I thought it would call into question whether the rock may have, at some point, been underwater.

Hey so I’m currently in the application process for law school and I’m also a senior in my undergrad. I’ve already taken an lsat and gotten a 157 which Ik can get me into schools but I decided that I’m gonna take the January lsat to see if I can crack the 160s. The issue is I got super backed up with assignments and finals and I completely missed the deadline to apply for the January lsat.

My question is am I screwed for having to take the February lsat? I’m very confident I can get into the 160s but it’s just a matter of spots being open.

I’m applying to UT Austin (long shot I know), SMU, University of Houston, and A&M. All of these schools have application deadlines of March (so they accept February LSATs and A&M’s application closes in April so that works even better for me.

Also I plan on submitting my application this month and choosing the option to have them wait on my lsat score.

So what do y’all think? Am I screwed or should I be okay?

There have been times in the past when I was doing a PT and I focused too much on the time remaining, causing myself to psych myself out. After that, I basically bombed the entire exam because I stressed myself out so much that I couldn't focus on the questions I was reading.

Have you guys experienced this, and do you have any tips for me?
