God has really blessed me! I took the lsat 5 times and finally got a 150! I know its not much but im so happy! I want to thank 7sage for all their support!!

Hey all,

Just wanted to thank 7sage team and give a few words of advice that I hope will help someone out.

First off, the LSAT can't take over your life. Sometimes, you simply just have to stop thinking about the test. If you don't, you'll burn yourself out and perform poorly. I spent May through September cooped up in a small room studying for one too many hours/day and I suffered for it. Started living life a little bit in October and saw score increase of +5 on my PT's and on my actual exam. Of course this is not the only reason my score improved, but it is certainly one of them. Time away from the test is crucial for the learning process. Go for a walk. Play with your pets. Do anything but the LSAT.

For LR: Practice visualising every stimulus you see. This was the game changer for me. Visualising what you read leads to being engaged with the material which leads to an understanding of it. Do untimed practice questions until you are comfortable making a mental image of each stimulus you read. Just a heads up, this takes lots of practice. But if you master it, it is an extremely effective strategy.

For RC: Same advice as LR. Practice untimed passages and visualize every sentence you read. Your mental image of each sentence should allow you to understand it. Once you get good at that, read whole passages and visualize the main points of each paragraph (or at least something notable from the paragraph). This made me a MUCH more engaged test taker. I actually started finding the passages interesting once I started doing this.

For LG: Drill, drill, drill. There is no way around it. If you do logic games enough, you will rarely miss a question. I probably spent around 700 hours drilling logic games. Yes, it sucks but if you do it enough you'll rarely see a game that gives you any trouble. By the end of my prep, I was completing full sections in around 25 minutes and scoring -0/-1. LG really is free points and you have to take advantage of it.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

I got a 152 on the November LSAT so I wanted to cancel it and retake in January, but I just realized that I missed the January deadline so now I dont know If i should still cancel my score and just retake in february, which seems too late in the cycle? Or if i should just take my chances and apply with a 152?

As I'm working my way through the lessons, I noticed the Prep Tests will show how many questions I've already encountered on that given test. Does 7sage ensure a number of tests are left untouched so you get a sense of a real practice test? I want to make sure they'll be tests where I don't already have an answer memorized.

Hi! So I recently graduated from college therefore spending over $150 on an hour of tutoring is completely out of the question. Is Wyzant a reliable website for finding an LSAT tutor? The site shows each tutor's hourly rate, how many hours they've tutored, credentials, reviews, and whether or not Wyzant has completed their background check. 7Sage is great but I REALLY need affordable one-on-one for the logic games. Everyone says it gets easier but that hasn't been the case for me in any way.

Hi, it's hard to find a straight answer as I'm seeing a lot of different info swirling around...

I'm taking the LSAT in Feb. I should get the results back by the very end of Feb. I have two applications due on March 1st. When it says the application is due on March 1st does that mean EVERYTHING is due on that date? As in, LORs, resume, writing assignments, transcripts, AND the LSAT score? In theory, if I got the LSAT score back on March 3rd is that okay or does it HAVE to be included in the application with everything else?

Hello all, any advice is appreciated! :)

My Nov. 2023 score is a 5 point drop from my Nov. 2022 score. As a result, I am contemplating writing an addendum explaining the drop in scores.

I prepared for the Nov. 2023 exam for close to a year but experienced technical glitches during the LG and fourth portion of the exam that made it difficult to focus. For reference, there was a white notification on the upper right corner of my screen that kept popping up, causing me to refocus my attention and attempt to exit out of it every time it came across my screen. After making it through LG, I attempted to just ignore it but it was still very distracting - I even asked the proctor for help and he said there was nothing he could do.

Given the drop, would you recommend an addendum explaining the situation? I take full accountability for not preparing myself better for an incident like this (tech glitches) but I thought it might be worth a shot.

Hi y'all. My struggle is timing, and I am consistently scoring between a 158-161, but I can't seem to break into mid and solid 160s. Any tips? I am shooting for the January LSAT with a 165.

With BR, I range between a 174-178, so I know that I've got the material down, but I think it's really just timing :(

Anything helps! Thanks you!

Hey, I need some guidance.

In January I scored a 145 (self study for 6 month while working full-time) and I just scored 147 (using 7Sage studying for 5 months while working part-time). My desired school has an LSAT median score of 157 and I planed on applying before their February priority deadline. Should I take the LSAT again in January and apply past the priority deadline? In geanral any advice and suggestions is appreciated.

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.

I took the November LSAT and scored a 155 after about 5-6 weeks of studying 3-4 hours a day, 5 days per week. Is it reasonable to think that I could raise my score to the 160s by the time the January test rolls around?

Hi folks, wanted to get some thoughts from the 7Sage community on Miscellaneous Logic Games.

What are your thoughts/approaches to miscellaneous/non-conventional LGs? I was under the impression that the LSAC was moving away from them but was completely stumped by one on last January's LSAT and am worried we could see more in the future when I retake it.

Which Miscellaneous Logic Games are worth reviewing? Are there any that for sure won't make their way onto a future LSAT?

Today I received my first LSAT score and was very disappointed to learn that I only scored a 150. This is concerning given that my dream school is the University of Florida which has a median LSAT score of 169. I am taking my second LSAT in January, meaning I have 45 days until I take my next test. For the next 45 days I plan to take a practice test almost every day, so I know I will see a great improvement in my score. Given this information, should I cancel or keep my current LSAT score?

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...

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 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!

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?

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.

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!

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?

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+)?

Hey everyone! My name is Erin and I am hoping to take the April and June 2024 LSAT! I am looking to start a discord group for motivation, studying, tips, and an overall community of positivity for us who want to take the April-June Lsat! I noticed there was a discussion posted prior but I don't think a group ended up being started! Let me know if any of you are interested! I know studying can be lonely and can often find yourself if periods of low motivation and it would be great to have a community to uplift each other !!

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.

for context: 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 do 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!!!

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.

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?
