I plan on taking my LSAT in January and I'd say I'm pretty far into my studies, however there are a few areas in LR and RC that I'd like to polish up between now and my LSAT date. I haven't heard much about the live classes but I was wondering if it would be worth it for me to upgrade for the month and join in on a few before taking my test, or would it be pointless. I'm not sure how in depth the classes are, but I am definitely past the basics of the LSAT and wasn't sure if the classes would benefit me much.

I still have a lot of work to do, but I cracked the 150's on my first official LSAT. I am very pleased and this score will get me into my "safe school." Thank you 7sage:)

I just wanted to say thank you to 7sage for helping me increase my score. I lost hope after my first test but after switching to 7sage and changing my mindset, I was able to (almost) get the score I wanted.

If you are ever feeling down because of this test or feel like things are just not going your way, this test is and will never be a representation of who you are or how well you will do in law school.

Good luck!

Hi Everyone,

I've been studying for the LSAT for over a year and I've hit a wall with my test taking. I started studying Nov. 2021 and tested in August 2022 and November. Both tests I scored a 155. I've PT'd much higher than that and have blind reviewed higher than that as well. I'm feeling extremely discouraged to say the least. And I'm not sure what I can do anymore. I'm burnt out from studying for over a year, and I'm discouraged that I've made scant progress to what I actually want my score to be (maybe like a 160 or a 165). I really wanted to apply to law school this cycle but that seems near impossible now with the scores I have because they just aren't what I want. I'm already also applying so late that it might not even be worth it. Unfortunately law school feels like my only out since I'm at a job that I hate and I just want to move onto something more intellectually stimulating.

I know I'm not stupid, I know I'm extremely smart but I'm starting to think that this isn't for me anymore.

In short: are they any success stories out there? Am I wasting my time if I start studying again for another 6 months? Should I just pivot to a new career and throw in the towel?

Anyone else having this issue?

(Applying for the Fall 2023 cycle)

I've taken the LSAT three times. First in August of 2021 (cancelled score- was not ready AT ALL), second in November of 2021, got a 155 (median for my target schools, I'm fine with this score), and just took it again this November and ended up doing worse than my 155:( (I got a 152). I'm extremely heartbroken as I put my heart and soul into my study process, and ran into technical difficulties at the start of my exam which, although ProctorU was very helpful and responsive with resolving right away, definitely had me shaken up and a nervous reck during my first section (RC- ugh). My GPA is my strong-suit, also being the median/ slightly above the average at my targeted schools. My goal has never been to go to an Ivy/ top school, just one that is credible enough and will help me land a decent job (currently interested in Intellectual Property law/ real estate law)!

I have decided I am most likely not taking the exam a fourth time, as my 155 I'm fine with and am just afraid I could run into an even worse problem. Has anyone else been through a similar experience? I did purchase score preview- but would it look bad to have two cancelled LSAT scores? Should I go down the path of writing an Addendum? I understand the majority of people on here are now studying for the LSAT and may not be this far along in the process, but absolutely any advice/ insight with be greatly appreciated as I feel so lost and confused on what my next steps should be.

So I got all the books from powerscore and the practice exams and Mike Kim’s book. But I am not sure if I need to get 7sage monthly or the unlimited versions with the live videos since my brain is BLANK. Literally… also it is good to also use khan academy? Some people teach differently and I wonder if it will affect anything? Should I bite the bullet and get the unlimited version from 7sage… they have a special right now you get it for 200$ a month

I personally feel like 7sage let me down. I studied as much as I could working full time. I took PTs, did drills, and still all for nothing. What do I do?

PLEASE HELP

So got the score for my first LSAT attempt for November and got 154. I am trying to get into Canadian law schools (within Ontario). I have a good GPA, 2 years of professional experiences that are relevant to law and my Personal Statement is strong. So here is the question: do I go with it or it's a score that won't get me anywhere?

Just trying to get my mind around deciding whether to try for Jan or not.

I hope everyone else did well and are happy with their score!

Cheers

Even with a terrible error during test day, performed well above my average. Thank you so much and good bye!!

i am aware that the new tests are with only 3 sections, however would it help me more if i continue practicing all 4 sections ?

Would it mess with the actual score ?

What are some things to take into consideration when practicing 3 or 4 sections?

This is just venting.... so bear with me (or vent with me)!

I took the October test and didn't get to finish the game section and it bothered me so much. I got a 165 and thought that score reflected my performance. Took the November test and walked away feeling like it was an average PT, not great but not bad either, but got a 165 again! I feel like there is such a mismatch vs my perceived performance. On PTs I've been scoring mostly 170-173, above 175 on half a dozen PTs. I'd be upset when I would occasionally score 167-169, which was low for me. If going by how I feel I did on the test I thought the November test would've been at least a 168-169. As in the lowest. I just don't know anymore and feel horrible.

Anyone else score way below what you PT at?

I just cant manage the time to study right now. Can I pause my year long subscription? If so how and where?

I'm working full time, so all of my studying will be done 6-11pm CST and weekends. Please let me know if you are interested in meeting over video for accountability measures and reviewing.

Hi LSAT community, been reading everyone’s comments here today and happy for everyone who hit their goal score but looking for advice after a disappointing morning. After scoring 157 in October I was really looking to improve into the 160 range leading up to November, especially since my practice test scores were consistently in the 162-165 range. After scoring a 157 again, I am feeling extremely discouraged, even though I know it is not a bad score. For context, I am targeting schools in the DC area (American University and Maryland are my top choices) and have a 3.8 GPA, was ideally looking to get a significant scholarship or a full ride somewhere, but am questioning whether applying for this cycle is a good idea. Was planning on sending out applications in the next week but should I be looking to retake in January or target lower ranked schools? Is it unrealistic to expect even a minor scholarship? Any and all advice appreciated

Hi, this will be my third time on the LSAT and have started applying to schools (they all know I am taking the LSAT in January). The past two times I got 143 and 147. I have severe test anxiety specifically for this lsat and have never experienced text anxiety for a test in university, grad school, anywhere. I guess I would say that logic’s reasoning is my strength, then reading comprehension, then logic games. I want to improve as much as I can and have made changes in my habits to help my anxiety including going on medication. Should I go about improving on all sections or just one? And what would be a reasonable expectation for a score increase?

I don't understand why B is correct. JY, make a explanation video real quick

Im trying to do these questions and they make zero sense to me, I cannot wrap my head around how you go about solving them. Ive also been doing the core curriculum with the explanation videos and I still can not comprehend, when explained the right answer choice makes sense but it does not make sense when I go to do it by myself.

What type of studying do I need to do to get in the mid to high 150s, I've never been a good test taker and I genuinely just need help on to know what I need to study, how long I Need to study. I haven't been doing the best with studying and I take my LSAT for the 3rd time in January. I need help PLEASE!!!!

Hi everyone! While I know this cycle is far from over, a lot of us may be gearing up to take the LSAT, draft essays, and generally starting our applications for next cycle. I’ve created a discord server that is intended to be inclusive (not T-14 focused) if anyone applying next cycle is interested in joining the community. I will also be adding law students who want to be available to answer any questions for other aspiring students. :) Feel free to join here: https://discord.gg/k8ZF7Sba

I'm not being fully serious with my title, but I'm stumped. I have been studying inconsistently for about a year and a half. I've completed about 3/4th of the CC-- I should have come up the basic learning curve by now of simple identification of premise and conclusion. But in drilling/BR/wrong answer journal process, I've realized I am STILL misidentifying premise and conclusion. I'm feeling super discouraged. How am I still struggling with this?! I think what happened is I thought I understood the concept, went awhile unknowingly reinforcing bad habits, and now I'm in a bit of a rut. What now?! 😭

Hi everyone,

I started 7Sage about 2 weeks ago, and I think that it is a great idea to formulate a study group. Anyone interested in meeting about 2 times a week via zoom to study? If so, comment and i'll prepare for our 1st study session!

I understand why A is correct, but why is E wrong? Is it because E does the opposite of weaken and just strengthens the argument?

Hi, is there a way I can select specific PT from the drill section? Im trying to do PT53 but I don't see specific section for PT53. Is the only way to take the prep test in the lesson section?

I want to submit a diversity statement that is based on how my religion shaped me. Would this be wanted for the Northwestern Admissions team? Is there something I should be aware about before submitting such a statement?

Any thoughts appreciated!

@"Cant Get Right" and anyone else who applied to/attended Northwestern
