I am applying to law schools next cycle and I was wondering if I should go to the forum this year or next year?

Can someone break this one down for me? I am really struggling to understand how D is correct.

#HELP!

I took the October exam, scored 168 which wasn't too surprising since that had been my score on several PTs leading up to the test. I am signed up for next week & goal is to score 171+. Took the newly released PT 93 today & scored my highest ever, 175!!!!

I am super conflicted because if I take the test next week, it will be my 4th time & if I score lower than 168, I don't want admissions to think that the score is a fluke and not something I worked hard for. If I score higher than 170, great! However, is this a risk worth taking? For reference, I would like to attend a T20 school with substantial scholarships, looking at USC Law for which I fall right at the median LSAT but lower than median GPA.

Does anyone know the score conversion for PT 93? Is it reliable to score the test based on PT 91/92's scales? I took it on LawHub.

Thanks!

I registered the exam on Feb but I feel I am not prepared for it and kinda wanna cancel it. Will the schools I will apply know that I cancelled and never took a test?

This question was tough for me. I thought I didn't need the third sentence. Picked D but wasn't confident with it. Not sure how E is correct. Please help.

Hi,

This question has a 5-star difficulty but it looks like there's no explanation video on this.

What is everyone's thought process on this question. Here's my reasoning for why it comes down to C and D :

C. Some parts of the rock was under water, some part on land. Which one do we know is where the C-14 were found from (if its the unerwater part then it goes against the argument, if its the land part then it supports the argument). This is just not enough to know. This could go both ways. BUT it does cast doubt on the result of the study, how do you know which part of the rock you got your C-14 from.

D. Among the C-14 that were found in this rock, a small amount of C-14 come from the atmosphere. Meaning the rest of the C-14 can still come from remnants of plants and microbes. Doesn't weaken the argument much, but it cast doubt.

I picked D but the correct answer is C. Can someone explain their thought process and why C is a better ac?

Long time lurker, first time poster. Here to tell you all to dream big.

TLDR: Scored 173 on the Oct LSAT, which is the highest I have EVER scored. My miracle worker is 7Sage tutor @"Chris Nguyen"! His encouragement, guidance, and tailored tips (in test taking AND general LSAT tips) helped me score the highest I ever have - and hopefully for the last time ever!

Very Long, Might Read Version:

Decided to apply to law school in early 2021 and signed up for 7Sage. Some people are able to juggle 40 hours of work with intense studying and even childcare on the side. Not me. I was overworked, underpaid, and generally Not Having A Good Time. I wanted to apply in a few months, so I quit my job and moved into my parents' attic to study full time.

I don't think people talk enough about recovering from burn out, especially in this post-COVID world. I thought quitting my job would fix my sad and tired brain. It did not. I took the Nov 2021 LSAT and then the Jan 2022 LSAT as a last hail Mary. She did not answer my prayers, which makes sense because I never go to church. I scored 163 both times, which crushed me, as my diagnostic was 165.

Shortly after my Jan LSAT, I lost someone very close to me and spent the next few months grieving and taking a break from the LSAT. I was not in a good headspace and needed to find the joy in life again. Below are a few things that helped:

I began studying again in May 2022. I finished the core curriculum in a few months. I was scoring in the mid 160s and wanted to get at least a 173. the idea of self studying seems really noble -- the whole idea of "I built a study schedule, identified my weaknesses, implemented structure and discipline, and was able to get a full scholly for free all by myself" made me want to BE a 170s-scoring self studier. But I didn't really know how to study post core curriculum (esp in knowing which PTs to not "waste" early on), and so I signed up for a free 30 min consult call with 7sage tutoring.

I was matched up with Chris. Our weekly sessions added much-needed structure in my life, and he assigned daily homework tailored to my needs. I think our most important lessons have been on test taking mentality. One thing he tells me often is that we need to "practice letting go" -- of old habits, of time-consuming questions, and of negative thoughts like "UGH I HATE THIS TEST!" (direct quotation).

All of this contributed to my scoring the highest I ever have -- a 173 -- on the Oct LSAT, no less. My highest PT was 170 on an early 80s PT, but I was in the mid 160s for the vast majority of my PTs. While my PT test taking conditions were never ideal (and so maybe I underscored on those takes), never in a million years did I expect to hit my target LSAT score so soon. I didn't feel great about my Oct LSAT: I misread an easy rule on my first LG game and had to rush the rest of the section, and I didn't have great time management on LR and RC. I even considered cancelling. This is normal! Sometimes the best scores come from dissatisfying test taking experiences.

So if you lack self discipline and can't self-study your way into the 170s -- no shame. Big same. it’s ok to ask for help. If you're able to afford it, 7Sage tutoring might pay off for you, as it did for me.

use your 7sage rewards if you can, and keep an eye out for promotions!

Never thought I'd make it to the 170's, let alone 175+. Never stop believing in yourself, this test can be learned! I studied for 2+ years. I'm still in shock. Thank you, 7sage.

I often usually get 2/5 right on diffucilty 4 and 5 of the practice questions for finding mainconclusion and supporting main conclusion concepts. Although I do decently well on difficulty 1-3 questions. Am I on track for a decent lsat score or should I be correctly answering all of these practice questions given at teh end of each lessonl

I am currently stuck between a 147-151 on PT. I have about 10 weeks until I take the LSAT and my goal score is a 154. I have gotten a 154 once, but that was untimed and I took double the time recommended. Does anyone have any advise on how long I should study or what I should do throughout the next few weeks?

Hi, I am international and my official lsat score is 173. My friend said that the higher the lsat score is the better. In my recent last pt score is 176~178, so should I take again? I have a reservation for the November exam. Does 176 and 173 make a lot of difference? It's so stressful to take the lsat again. I spent more than three years of my time and effort until I was almost 153 to 173.Please give me some advice.Thank you :)

We're done here. Best of luck to everyone and thanks very much to J.Y. and team.

This post isn't for those that already "have it"

This is for all my brothers and sisters who saw a long journey ahead of them with days of grinding, and plenty more discouraging days.

You can do it.

Special thanks to Owen, Ellen, Molly and Dr. D.

I will press forward for a slightly higher score.

It feels great to finally break the "7"

My LSAC Prep Plus subscription expires sooner (before the November exam) and I am not sure if I need it for one more year. The thing is I am taking the November test and until that day, I need it. Is there any other options to maintain the subscription for one more month? Thank you.

Got a 169. Not my PB but pretty great considering how bad I had to pee during the first 2 sections. Much love and best of luck to future test takers.

I just got my oct lsat back and sadly it was quite lower than my goal score. I was able to get 170+ for my PTs in the weeks leading up to my LSAT but somehow on the real thing I just really underperformed. I also had many issues with ProctorU and it really made me lose my focus during the exam, which I think largely contributed to my performance.

Since I’m international there’s no Nov LSAT so the next one I have is Jan. It’s my last chance for this cycle and I really want to do well. Can I please have advice on how I should move forward? I took a break since the oct lsat until the score release and I'm ready to get back at it!! I’m thinking of doing a full PT per day but I’m not sure if this is the right path? I’ve done all of the exam questions on 7sage since 2000 in drill form and PT70+ in full PT form) so I’m also hoping I don’t remember any answers.

Thank you so much :)

I just wanted to give a big shoutout to 7sage and Chris Bearne! I took the August LSAT and was not super happy with my score and I decided to register for the October test, I just received my score back and made a 9 point jump (95th percentile). I am never taking the LSAT again, and I could not have done it w/out Chris, he is such an amazing tutor. Specifically, I was struggling with RC & LR, and he improved both sections significantly.

Hey guys,

so this is my third time taking the lsat i took it last year in October bombed that cause my anxiety messed me up, and made a mistake and took it within a month again and did horrible my anxiety and nervousness really gets to me. I was suppose to take it in August but didnt feel just ready, October was my next date but had an emergency in my family, now I am taking it in November. im STRESSED because my LR can be anywhere from -5 to -13, and RC is -6 to -12, I really just want to get a 160 is there any advice how i can do better in these two sections before the exam. Ive been trying it all and just feel so hopeless and scared. I'd appreciate any advice because I really want to succeed.

hi, im registered to take the Nov LSAT and I suck at LR. Averaging -13 on LR on recent PT. does anyone have any tips or tricks for weakening or flaw questions??? Or any type of suggestion for LR in general on how to do better?? I am trying to drill but I can't seem to get out of the same mistakes I keep making.

Thank you 7sage, I got my 163 score that I was aiming for! Off to applications

Is anyone else every afraid/hate it when they have to seemingly brute force questions? It makes me feel like I messed up gravely on something and I start to panic

This literally has been beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you 7Sage!

I got a 169 in January, 170 in May and a 175 in October.

After the May scores came out, I knew I had to retake-I was PTing around 174 and my anxiety during the test definitely caused me to miss questions.

One word of advice that helped me a lot: deal with you anxiety in advance. I read a post in the forum that discusses this and it was extremely helpful. My takeaway: if you tend to be really anxious during exams(like me), PT under pressure, and stick to the methodology we have been practicing instead of rushing into decisions.

7Sage really helped me a lot in identifying my problems: this meant a lot for me as I literally had less than a month to prepare for the October LSAT. I think identifying one's weak spots, whether in the form of LR question types or RC passage types, is one of the most efficient ways to improve one's grade.

Anyway, I'm just...too happy. As a international STEM major, this is way beyond what I had hoped for when I'm still studying. Hope to get into my dream school this cycle!

When will we have access to the PT93 Explanations videos?
