Hey guys, I started my LSAT journey about a month ago with 138 diagnostic and now hitting somewhere between 148 and 150. I understand that it's progress, however, at times I seem discouraged by my score still. I'm only through about 25% of the material, mostly on logic games, and I only started LR last week. Would you recommend that I go through the lessons first then take practice tests, or should I continue doing both. Also, any tips on how to work on focusing during taking the questions, my mind seems to get bugged down with so much details that feel crippling at times. TIA and good luck with your LSAT journey!

I am currently just focused on studying. Any suggestions on how. I can achieve 160+

Hi,

Kind of just wondering the question above. I really want to take a full exam today, but I think if I bomb it/score lower than I have been that might mess with my head a bit. Im wondering if maybe I should just do four random sections from random PT's so that way I don't actually get a 'score' so it can't mess with my head. Any advice? Not sure if im just gonna burn myself out for the exam on Saturday.

Registered for the September LSAT. Scoring 154-157 on PTs. Goal score is 160. I’ve made a 10+ point increase simply by drilling and reading. Starting to realize I need to hone in on specific question types I’m getting wrong and keep doing them until I have a solid understanding of those question types. With this new study method, is it realistic to reach my goal score in exactly one month or should I push back my test to October?

I am looking to take the November LSAT and have 3 months to study. I am having trouble navigating the 7sage curriculum and see if it is possible to do so in 3 months while working full time. I recognize the ambitious time goal, but it is unfortunately my reality. (Looking to apply this cycle due to finances and health insurance)

Any recommendations? How can I get the most out of 7sage in 3 months? Any advice is greatly appreciated! TIA!!

I am starting to think maybe Law school isn’t right for me. The highest I’ve gotten on practice tests is a 140. I’ve studied for over a year.

When taking the initial practice test, should I be aiming to finish all questions in the 35 minutes or taking my time to get them correct despite not fininshing all the questions?

I am taking the LSAT this Saturday and I have been consistently scoring a 154. I really want a 158-160 as this would greatly help my chances at some of the schools I am applying to. Are there any last minute tips or tricks that might help to get a few more questions right? Some tricks for specifically the RC or LR sections would be great!

I don't understand why the answer is D. I know why the answer is not A, B, C, or E. But D doesn't make sense to me. What is the exact characteristic being discussed? Is it the tendrils on the new orchid species or "pollinated solely by insects"? Also, where in the argument does it claim that something is unique.

#help my problem sets on my syllabus are not being timed.

This might be common knowledge and I have certainly come across this in the core curriculum, but did not quite grasp what is meant. I am realizing that argument type is more important than the actual details when it comes to weakening questions. The best way to start is to know what kind of argument the author made (e.g., argument that appeals to an analogous case, argument that appeals to science, argument by equivocation, arguments that ignore multiple sufficient conditions, etc.). So take your time looking at the argument as a whole, and approach the questions with an idea of what kind of argument the author is making in mind. There are various ways to weaken an argument depending on the type of argument, and I've noticed a consistent pattern where the correct answer choice directly relates to the argument type and is less concerned with the literal context of the argument.  For example, if the author makes an appeal to an analogous case, look for an answer that suggests these cases are not sufficiently analogous. If the argument is scientific in nature, look for answers that call the methodology into question or whether the study's results warrant the conclusion. If it is an argument by equivocation, look for an answer that explains why these two terms, principles, or settings are not actually equivalent. If an argument claims something is imperative (i.e., argument that ignores multiple sufficient conditions), look for answers that that express an alternate option. These are just some examples and feel free to add more types of arguments and systematic strategies used to attack an argument type.

Can you complete the writing sample after you take the test? I know that it opened eight days before but will it close once you take the actual test? Is there a deadline?

Hello, hope your days are going well and safe.

I am here because I wonder where people usually get the review of their personal statements.

When I wrote my other personal statements, which were not for law school admissions, I got the help of the writing center from the college I went to.

However, this is not a possible option anymore after graduation last year. Since I could not think of different options, I decided to listen to other people's experiences to see where can I ask for advice.

Therefore, I would be grateful if you could share how did you get the review of your personal statements.

Happy to hear any of your experiences regarding it!

Hi, the preptest button wont work on 7sage so I haven't been able to take a test today.. tt hasn't been working for over 2 hours

Is this a problem for anyone else, and does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you!

I planned on taking the August LSAT on Friday, but I am now having mixed emotions if I should cancel it. About a month ago I was scoring consistently in the mid 160's but now in the week leading up, I have scored in the 140's TWICE. Upon reviewing the PTs, I have no idea how I had made so many mistakes.

Any insight would be appreciated thank you.

Hi guys- I am seriously stressed out right now. I am scheduled to take the LSAT on August 13th. However, I got sick a day ago and I am not feeling well. I would love to change my test to September, but it says the deadline is closed? However, I see that you can change your test until august 11th? Can anyone please suggest me what I can do? I really do not want to move it to October. I am planning on calling LSAC tomorrow. Please help :/

For arguments that falsely conclude causation from correlation, can you strengthen the argument through an answer choice that demonstrates that the same cause has the same effect? For instance, if the argument says that a study indicated that most people who eat ice cream feel sick because of the dairy in the ice cream, and an answer choice said that most people who drink cows' milk feel sick, would that strengthen the argument? Conversely, could I weaken the argument by saying that most people who eat vegan ice cream still feel sick?

Are you a 7Sage user looking for people to study with? Wish there was an easy way to get paired up?

You're in luck! Join us for our next "Study Group Breakout" on Wednesday, August 31st from 9:00-10:30pm ET.

Here's how it works:

I did the LSAT writing sample in November of 2020 and am currently registered for the August LSAT, I read on the website as long as you have one writing sample on file you do not need to do it again. If that is the case why is there still and active registration for it and it says please complete as soon as possible? Is that just automatic?

Can someone please explain how they got to the right answer? I see that it is E, but how does it strengthen it?

Hi all,

have never had this issue but my videos explainers will play then stop at 3 seconds in. if it does come back in, it's audio only and the visual on screen remains frozen. The only thing I have changed recently was downloading the proctor u chrome plugin yesterday for my test. Have tried clearing browser data, incognito, disconnecting airpods, etc. Any ideas on how to fix? Thank you!

I renewed my monthly subscription today, my card was charged and I received an invoice immediately. Yet, 7Sage is still prompting me to purchase the course and I'm locked out of all the content I need. Has this happened to anyone else?

I am taking the LSAT in September so it's crunch time! When y'all are printing out the games are you doing the same game back-to-back or switching them up? I'm afraid I'll just be memorizing the answers and not actually figuring out the game.

Hello,

I was debating whether to keep up the pace with PT'ing or to slow down. I wanted to get through at least over half of all the available PTs before my test. However, I found myself struggling more as I moved up into the 70s. Based on your experience, do you think it's much better to slow down? I am finishing BR before the next scheduled PT, but I think I would get more out of it if I slow down. I would appreciate any advice! Is it possible to get a good score without going through many PTs?
