Need some studying tips on a short timeline.

I’m still going through the rest of the curriculum and then intend to bang out PT tests, but I am taking the LSAT in Oct and probably again in Nov. I’m consistently getting only 2-3 correct on these drills. In reviewing my wrong answers, I fully understand where I erred, but I also don’t have the time to master each of these drill sections (at least I don't think I do).

My current mindset is to try and get through this curriculum, then bang out those PT tests since PT test do not categorize difficulty and question types. I’m worried if I spend too long on the drilling, I will lose sight that the actual tests is completely random in the questions types and difficulties that are chosen.

Any thoughts here are helpful as I orient my studying these last 1-2 months. Thank ya all and good luck.

I wish all of you September+October takers luck.

I was reading an article published a few years ago about personal statements, and it recommended to specify the personal statement to each school you apply to. It had two examples where the authors included 2-4 sentences showing some knowledge of the school's programs and why it aligned with their personal stories/interests. (https://www.usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/articles/2017-04-27/2-law-school-personal-statements-that-succeeded)

My question is, is necessary or even good advice? I haven't seen any schools recommending this on their website, and Harvard specifically states that they don't really want it (They say: "As for discussing HLS in your personal statement, we do not recommend it. The admissions team knows a lot about Harvard Law School — but we don’t know much about you quite yet."). I understand that you shouldn't make the entire statement about a certain school, but am worried that even the 2-4 sentences recommended by the US News article might be penalized.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts about this!

hey all! Looking for some guidance with my personal essay. I've been in the brainstorming phase of my essay for a while now trying to find my ending. I want to tell a story about myself that is genuine and stays with the reader. I want to write about my love of working with kids. i've done it all my life. it was my "thing" in college, serving as a camp counselor for kids with cancer. I could tell a million stories about how those kids shifted my perspective, made me listen more, etc. But i am having trouble connecting that to law. It seems like every university prompt that I read mentions "you should address your interest in law/why this makes you a good candidate" If you have any advice or have gotten over this same obstacle please lmk

Does anyone have any last minute advice for the day before or day of taking your LSAT? I've heard many people say to take the day off but is there something you would recommend refreshing or keeping in mind?

Is there a huge difference between the PTs in the 130s and the PTs in the 150s? I find myself doing a lot better on the PTs in the 130s, but having a harder time with the PTs in the 150s. I feel like it's a psychological thing, and I psych myself out because of it.

I need help understanding why the correct answer choice (A) is correct for this question. I understand that all the other answer choices are terrible (leaving A as the only answer choice), but I still feel like A is too strongly stated to be a necessary assumption for the argument.

In my thinking, a necessary assumption for the argument is that the econ explanation and psychological explanation are mutually exclusive from each other. Answer choice A seems to go way beyond this and say that the econ explanation is excludes all other explanations (not just the psychological one).

What's wrong with my thought process? Thanks!

I initially made an account without lawhub advantage, but I just went and upgraded today- 7sage is still telling me I don't have an active subscription & can't access any of the preptests. Please help I need to study!

hello i am looking to start a study group on discord or teams leave send info and i will create one.

I am trying to use the download drill feature, as I want to practice while offline, but am unable to download any questions. Is there a solution for this, it was a genuinely helpful feature.

I've been having issues with Link Assumption and Conditional Reasoning questions. Does anyone have any good resources (7sage live classes, syllabus, outside books, etc.) they suggest to improve on these questions types?

Hello,

I know that iA —most→ B → C, then you cannot conclude most A are C. But if it becomes:

A —most→ B → C→ D

can you conclude that most A are D?

Hi all,

I took my first LSAT back in April, and after getting my score back, I realized I wanted to brush up a little more and take it again in the fall. With that, I'm scheduled to take it this Friday.

The thing is, I haven't taken a real, sit-down practice test since I was studying for my April exam. This summer, I started using 7sage and focused on getting the lessons and drilling. In terms of timing, I've been pretty good. I know it's a bad idea not to have taken any PT, but also, I'm scared to take a PT and get a bad score and feel discouraged for my real exam this week.

I guess I just need someone to second my opinion, or if anyone else is in the same boat as me, you're not alone.

Good luck to everyone taking it this month!

Hey guys!

Does anyone have any strategies for improving testing endurance? I tend to keep good accuracy throughout the drills and you try from the modules, but get gassed out mid-way through the actual PT sections, which negatively impacts my score.

Has anyone dealt with a similar issue and found a good approach to quickly fix this and score better? Such as taking more full-length tests or building up from individual sections, etc.

Any tips and advice are appreciated! :)

Hi lovely people, I need some advice on how I can improve my score from high 150s to 160s for the October LSAT. My average score right now is 159.1. My best score is 163, but I haven't been doing well on my most recent PTs.

I'm struggling a lot with Flaw questions. The problem I have seems to be that although I managed to identify the flaw from reading the stimulus, once I moved on to the ACs, the wording confused me and I ended up picking the wrong AC.

Also, my RC score has been fluctuating from -3 to -9 and I don't even know what I'm doing right or wrong.

I have been doing BR and keeping a wrong answer journal from the beginning. I don't know what else to do. What should I be focusing on now? Keep doing more PT? Review Flaw questions and do more drills? Taking untimed RC drills?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! 7Sage Alum here. After a year or so of grueling practice, I finally got a score I wanted to shoot my shot for a T-14 this past August - a 170! I'm a bit nervous applying because I took the LSAT three times, with 2 previous attempts with logic game and the August one without (does that also matter? will the 170 be discounted in anyway because it was in the new format?) I wondering if I need to write an addendum to explain what happened and if so, what to write in it.

For more details, here is my LSAT history: November 23: 159, January 24: 163, August 24: 170

Hello,

I am studying for the November LSAT, and am wanting to get some feedback.

Currently, I am working my way through Logical Reasoning, and as such am doing roughly 5-10 questions or prep per day. I have taken one diagnostic test (basically completely cold to start) and have not done any since.

My question is: is there a way to use certain questions for drills, without seeing them again when you do practice tests? Is this a concern that anyone else has worked through, or just me? I don't mind a little cross over, but I just don't want a ton as I feel like that would give me an inaccurate picture of what my scores are on PTs when I get to that point.

Thank you for your consideration and time!

I got a 156 on the August LSAT, lower than what I got on PTs while I was studying. I'm retaking in October and really would like to be in at least the mid 160s. I am so lost on how to study to make this happen. I did PTs and drills for the first test with a wrong answer journal but felt like I was not improving. Any advice is super appreciated!

Don't need an incredible score, just need a solid base in October in the high 150s. Any advice is helpful. I'm just struggling for the last few months in a study rut.

I took the June LSAT with ZERO studying and no accommodations, just to see how I would do with logic games before they were gone forever and got a 161.

I’ve completed all the lesson videos and done a handful of drills, but haven’t really had time to take an actual practice test.

I take the September LSAT this Thursday and am really hoping I don’t have to retake in November.

So I’m wondering is a 7 point jump realistic now that I’ve studied and have accommodations for time and a half?

I think as long as I get a 165 I won’t be completely crushed, but obviously I just want to be done.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a copy of Ellen Cassidy's Loophole and it seems to be unavailable everywhere. I'm in Canada but can pay for shipping from wherever. Please let me know if you have a used copy you want to part with.

Thanks,

I've been studying for the LSAT for a almost half a year now, and on PTs I've been consistently scoring in the high 160s. I've noticed a pattern on all of my tests where I usually do extremely well on one or two sections (talking -1/-2) and then bomb the third section. I fear that stamina and consistency are my issue more than a skill issue. Are there any tips on increasing consistency/accuracy? (especially RC which is the section I've noticed the most fluctuation in my score anywhere from -2 to -6).

I am studying with a group and it gets kind of confusing and inconvenient that if i drill/PT in the new format it doesnt have any records of questions ive already seen.

Hi all! I followed through and made a discord for a study group for those of us taking the Nov 2024 LSAT. Feel free to join here! https://discord.gg/Rv9dz8VC

Hi, I just took my August LSAT and I like my score, however, I will be taking it again in October. I was wondering if anyone has any insight on when is a good deadline to have my applications in by.

I also know that some people are offered fee waivers to apply to specific schools by those schools. Is there anything people do in particular to be offered those?
