I took the September LSAT and got a 154. Then I got a 150 on the October LSAT. Should i cancel the October LSAT score? Please let me know because I am super conflicted.

I am trying to figure out whether or not I should cancel my October LSAT. Sadly I scored one point lower than I did on my June exam. Since it is only one point, should I let it be or should I cancel it since it is a lower score and I really only want to show my best score?

I got the score I was hoping for today, and I want to say thank you to 7sage! But I also want to leave some videos for posterity that motivated me during my studies. I came across this story when doing some googling about an absence of evidence flaw question regarding Fermat's last theorem.

Some context:

Andrew Wiles describing proving Fermat's last theorem:

When should I start drilling questions? I am about halfway through the foundations, only learning the basics so not sure if I am prepared enough to start answering actual questions. Should I wait until after I finish the foundations? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Anyone in the Philly area want to create a study group?

I began studying for the LSAT in January of this year and bought my 7sage subscription in February. I began studying off and on (life happens) until August. Once August rolled around, I took off from my job to study really hard for a month before the October LSAT. I spent hours a day studying and would take one practice test a week for a month. For reference, my diagnostic score was a 156, and I had taken 2 PT in June with a score of 156 and 154 respectively. AS I began to study and take my weekly PT in the month leading up to the October test. I had the following 3 scores in order: 154, 152, 157 (BR: 156, 158, 157).

I just got my October score back today an I scored a 162, which is the highest score I've ever received (I've never gotten a BR score that high) That puts me at the 81st percentile and I am super happy with my score. The law school I want to attend (though please understand I'll be applying to more than just this school) has a 50th percentile of 156 and a 25th percentile of a 159. I'll have a 3.99 GPA by the time I graduate so I have no worries there.

While I haven't continued such a strenuous study regime. I do practice problems once a week as the head of the Pre-Law LSAT study group on my college campus. So I could quickly pick back up studying to improve if needed.

Given all that information, should I go back in and try to take the exam again for an even higher score, or should I take my score I have with my super high GPA, along with a really good personal statement and try to get into school with what I have?

All of your responses are greatly appreciated and I wish you all the best of luck on your own LSAT journeys! You can do it!

Hi Everyone

I need some advice. Last year I had decided that I wanted to take the LSAT and go to law school. So I had taken the January 2024 and February 2024 LSAT and got 145s on each which is not the best score. From November to March, both of my grandparents were in and out of Hospital. They both passed away, one before my exams and one after. I affect me a lot because I was very close to them. I should have never taken the LSAT then because I mentally was not prepared. I spent most of my time in the ICU and although I did try to study, my mind was somewhere else completely. I know that the two LSAT's I took were not a representation of who I am as a test taker and my ability to go to law school, but do law schools know that or care?

I have been studying for the November LSAT. My tutor suggested taking the November LSAT and if I do poorly then I would study for the January one. I don't know what to do. I know it looks bad to take the LSAT many times and 4 is a lot. Would law schools be understanding to me potentially taking the LSAT 4 times due to my circumstances? Should I take the November LSAT?

Thank you in advance!

Hi all! I received my results and I am extremely disappointed. I had scored a 156 and 157 previously and I just scored 156 again. I really want to break 160, although I had broken 160 on multiple prep tests. I am totally confused and shocked. I felt that I had a great grasp on the questions. Can anyone give any advice? I previously registered for the November LSAT just in case, so I have just over two weeks to lock in.

This morning I got my score back for the October LSAT. I have been consistently scoring in the mid to high 150’s even though I have been studying for about 3 months. I felt decent going into October but knew I was also taking the November test. To be honest, I was really just hoping for a low to mid 150’s on this test so I could have the confidence to do good on the November test. As I got my score back this morning, I did not perform well at all. I have no idea if I just didn’t settle into the test well or what happened but to say that I am discouraged is an understatement.

I have no idea how what to do in order to properly prepare for the November test. Obviously my study patterns did not pan out. I would appreciate any tips what so ever on what to do or how to move forward.

Thank you.

hi everyone! i just took my diagnostic and did a BR. i signed up for 7sage. does anyone have any advice for a beginner lsat taker? Also does anyone have advice on when to drill while completing the curriculum? Thank you!

These are my two largest analytical priorities. Currently, I am drilling, preptestting, wrong answer journaling and reviewing core curriculum. I am wondering what else I should be doing to improve these.

Hello, I plan on taking the exam in February and then another one in June. However, I do not feel prepared at all unless something starts to click for me until February. Would it be better just to forego the February test feeling unsure/ under prepared and just take the June lsat where I will feel better prepared?

I've been studying for quite a while (since May but seriously since August ) and though in the beginning I made great stride with practice test score improvement, I am now a an impasse with progression. Ive read the LR bible, Loophole and LSAT trainer and i feel like a dunce. I cannot get to 160, does anyone have advice on getting past the wall of no improvement?

I've been using 7 sage for a few weeks and wondered when was the best time to start or join one. I am still on foundations and wanted to know should I start when I'm scheduled to start taking PTs? Is there anyone interested in a study group where we go through the lessons together then review it together? I am uncertain, but I want to get the most out of studying with all the help I can get.

Wrote this past June LSAT and scored a 145. Starting cracking down on my prep late August / Early September and scored a 158 untimed this past week. This did give me the motivational booster that made me feel like for the first time I might be able to do this thing.

Any tips for endurance? I took about an hour for each section but a lot of that was having the correct answer but sitting there wondering if it was actually right. My goal for the November test would is to score a 160 since I have a 3.9 GPA and that would put me in a good scholarship zone for most the schools I would like to attend.

Now that logic games won't be featured on the LSAT anymore, should we just skip the logic games curriculum on 7sage?

I know that there are a few logical reasoning questions out there that require you to be able to diagram conditional statements. So is there any part of the Logic Games curriculum we should look at, just in case?

Thanks all!

I am scoring in the 165-167 range on my PTs and want to be hitting about 171 for the November LSAT. I am consistently missing only two questions on RC and getting them all right in blind review. On my last PT, the only reason I didn't get just one wrong on RC is because my time ran out and I couldn't answer it. My LR is obviously less consistent, (-3 and -8 on my last PT, 165). My question is whether I should focus all of my attention on LR in the next few weeks or try to get those easier-to-reach extra two points on RC first. Might be a dumb question just due to nerves kicking in, but curious what the best way to organize my study would be.

Hey everyone,

I'm taking the January LSAT and I'm looking for people to study with. I work full-time hybrid so mid week I'm in Manhattan and the rest I'm on Staten Island.

Thanks!!!

I feel so discouraged and upset. I've taken 4 preptests lately and keep getting my base actual score of 157. No matter how much I study, practice, and complete wrong answer journals, I keep getting 157. I can get my score to around 163 after blind review, but I'm just so confused and upset that I can't get any higher in my normal attempts. I know 157 isn't the worst score but I was really hoping to do a little better than that. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, personal experiences, or literally anything that could help me in this context? I am so lost as to what I can do to improve. Any advice, help, or words would be so greatly appreciated. :(

Hello - Does anyone know when the site will be done running maintenance? I got the notifications earlier in the week/last night that it would be starting at midnight on 10/18 and take a couple of hours, but it's now almost noon on the 19th and I'm still unable to access analytics/don't want to take drills/pretests as the data most likely won't be saved.

I know the two hours was just an estimate, but is anyone else still experiencing this/know if they're still doing maintenance on the site, or is this something only I am experiencing? Weekends are really my only time to do the bulk of my studying, so fingers crossed it won't take all day today.

Thanks! :)

What are you guys doing to distract yourselves from thinking about it?

I'm going crazy over here

Hello, I was listening to a 7sage podcast and the hosts mention having clear set goals that you establish before taking a drill, timed practice test, or timed sections. Does anyone have an example on what those type of goals should be? I feel like mine are way too general like read the stimulus carefully or understand stimulus completely before getting to the answer choices.

Hello everyone! I've recently started using 7sage to prepare for the February LSAT, and I think it’s an excellent program—I'm really enjoying the Foundations videos. However, I’m a bit unsure about a few things. Should I be practicing problems independently while I watch the videos? Also, what do you all do while watching? I’ve just been taking notes, but I’m not sure if that’s sufficient. Some friends using other programs have already started practicing problems right away, and I’m wondering if I should take that initiative too or wait until they come up in my syllabus. Any answers/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
