I recently did and canceled the score for my Nov. LSAT, which I did with only 2 1/2, 3ish months of rather haphazard studying. The lowest PT score I got was 145, highest was 154, and I averaged out at 149. I was disappointed, but given my trajectory, I was not entirely surprised. I do the worst at LG, followed by LR, RC is my strongest. I've been distracted by the holidays and am restarting this week. I'm trying to figure out what I should do to move forward.

I am thinking mainly of doubling down on LG hard and making them the focus of five-day study weeks. Two-four hours a day. As well as approaching my LR problem children. Is it realistic to see my scores breaking into the 160s by Feb?

Hello!

I'm taking the LSAT in Jan of 2023, if you're interested in a mini-study group PM me!

I'm trying to understand why did JY break the "contrapositive rule"when mapping out the first two rules?

Rule 1: If 2 C's and Min1 L same vote --> both moderates same vote

Then as his contrapositive, he just negated the sufficient and necessary without swapping their positions? I thought we are never allowed to do that.

For example, the typical contra positive is (A -> B) and (/B -> A)

But here he did (CC L same --> MM same) and (/CC L same --> /M same)

I understand the rule itself. If 2C and Min 1L are in, both M is in as well. And if either there is no 2C or min 1 L together, then the two Ms are floaters. Is this correct?

Hey guys. I'm open to giving study tips for those who are struggling to break into the 150s. I have some good strategies for every section. I began testing at a 136, and I gradually made my way through the 140s and into the 150s. I scored in the high 50s for this last exam and I'm applying to law school. I got a lot of advice from people on 7sage, and I feel it's only right to return the favor.

I originally took the November 2021 LSAT and got into a decent university in Boston but am now taking a gap year with a very laid-back job that gives me the opportunity to study while being paid at the same time. I got a 156 before and want to get into the mid-high 160s at least. I've only done self-study methods and didn't use any group(s) or things like this before so this would be a good opportunity that I want to try! Please let me know if interested.

Hey everyone,

Thank you for choosing 7Sage for your LSAT studies. We are happy to be a part of your journey!

If you have a moment, would you mind leaving us a review on our Trustpilot page? We just registered an account with them so our reviews page is a bit sparse.

Please feel free to write about anything, for example, whether you found our lessons helpful, our tools and apps user-friendly, or how we stack up against the competition.

We would really appreciate as many reviews as we can get, but totally understand if you prefer not to leave a public review.

Thank you again!

I graduated with a decent GPA, a 3.8. I even received honors, Magna Cum Laude, but my freshman year I was a STEM major that I was pressured into and did not enjoy. That year I got about a 3.2 GPA, but I changed my major sophomore year and got a 4.0 every semester after. On top of that, I am from an extremely rural town (2,000 people, 2 hrs away from every major city, no stoplights lol) where I didn't have the best college preparation. I think that also factored into my low freshman year GPA. Since I graduated with a good GPA, and my transcript shows a change in major, I am wondering if I should write an addendum for that year of school? Or is it unnecessary because my grades increased significantly and the transcript kind of tells the story itself?

On top of that I have taken the LSAT 3 times. However the first time was over a year ago, and I essentially didn't study. I scored a 159, which was pretty much my raw score. I took it again in October this year, getting a 165 and again in November, ending with a 167. Do I need to explain the first test? I basically had poor advising on whether or not I should take it (I was a full time student at the time as well). I shouldn't have taken the real test that first time, and the increase from that score to my final score is a bit of a jump, so i'm not sure if that warrants an explanation.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

How are important are these games for studying? Recently took PT 77 and I had trouble setting myself up for the game and got all the questions wrong and it took off a lot of time. Are misc games in the recent tests?

Hi, I've been constantly scoring in the 155~160 range which I think I've improved compared to my worst ever lsat score 142. Recently, I tend to get high 160s to even 170 when I do BR. How do I close this gap? Is it just practice, practice, practice?

Also, I am starting to doubt whether it is even worth to continue studying. I feel like 170 is a decent score to apply for good schools, but I am still far behind. Any advise for me? Thank you in advance.

I am scoring within 167-170 untimed on early PTs. If anyone wants to meet at Gangnam or Seoul area to talk about how to approach and deal with the test, please send me a message. I am more than happy to tutor you for free as well. Thanks!

Having been on the LSAT journey for years, knowing how challenging this test is, and receiving support from so many people online, I promised myself that if I ever get my dream score (172+), I would pay it forward to others by helping them achieve their goals.

I finally did it... it's still surreal (all glory to God). I can help with the following:

Plz reach out if and only if you:

My diagnostic: 153 --> best score before Nov: 167 --> practice exam range: 169-178

STEM major in one of the top tech institutions but no CAS GPA before December (haven't reached 60 credit hours). Cumulative GPA is 4.2 out of 4.3. Not a US citizen.

This is my second take. First one was in April, 174. PT-ing 175-180, average 178 ish.

My mom is so upset, I can't even believe it. help

Edit: I'm sorry if this post makes anyone unhappy. I know I should be satisfied with a 174 or 176. And I am. Family pressure for absolute perfection is another story, though. My mom is literally asking me to forget about law school. Go to work as a software engineer, she says. I am so sad.

HELP

Hello, can someone please explain the difference between answer choice D and answer choice E? I am failing to see how they are different no matter how many times I look over the wording. I probably missed something or diagrammed it incorrectly, so I would love for someone to double check my work. Thank you!

The stimulus lawgic I wrote is:

/D --> J

/J --> D

D --> Q

J --> Q

Q

The lawgic I diagrammed for (D) is as follows:

/L --> K

/K --> L

L --> M

K --> M

M

(E) Lawgic:

/D --> S

/S --> D

D --> C

S ---> C

C

Thanks!

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?

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?

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 tried taking a PT on lawhub for the first time and think it’s best to continue since the actual interface is more similar to that on Lawhub, but when filling in results on 7sage for analytics I noticed that the order of sections between the 2 platforms is different for the same exam, specifically PT 40.

Which platform correctly orders the sections as actually ordered on that respective exam’s administration? Is the original order ever disclosed?

Many thanks!

I just wanted to share a sub 170 success story for us non genius types haha.

I originally used Kahn Academy and had a 149 diagnostic, I was absolutely terrible at games… like -15. Somehow I heard about 7Sage and have been on here for over a year and a half.

I studied hard for 4 months and got 154 on Nov 202, even a with strong GPA that got me rejected from all 8 schools I applied to in Canada. That sucked ngl.

In late June 2022 I decided to use every bit of extra cash I had, and some frankly I didn’t have(shout out Visa lol) and put off any extra spending on vacations, sporting events, etc. to get sessions with a 7Sage tutor. This frankly made a huge difference in my ability to hone in on strong study habits and motivated me when I was struggling to find it within myself. I can’t recommend James Marmaduke with 7Sage enough, he gave me drills, a plan, and realistic feedback on my goals. I wanted to hit at least 160, preferably somewhere in the low to mid 160 range.

On October 2022 I scored a 160 which I was happy with. But I knew I could do a bit better based on my PTs and that my 160 would be borderline to get accepted to my first choice schools I am applying to with 163-164 Medians.

I took November’s exam and got a 163 which I am ecstatic about! It’s take a long time but I’m stoked to go from a 149 diagnostic to a 163.

I hope everyone got the scores they were looking for yesterday and best of luck to all the 7Sage ppl applying this cycle. This has been a great resource and a big part of that is the community. Hopefully someone in the 140s reads this and is inspired.

Cheers!

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

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:)

A 145 diagnostic to a 162 in September to a 177 in November. Thank you J.Y. and 7 sage I still cannot believe it.

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!

Can’t see the video, wants me to post a discussion first?

Hi everyone!

I hope studying is going well for everyone and we're staying motivated to get to the finish line with the LSAT scores we desire. I am studying for the January 2023 LSAT date and am wondering if anyone else would like to become accountability/study partners. Let me know and happy studying to all! :)
