My friend and I are planning on maybe meeting once or twice a week in person to study together. I am wondering what you would think is the best way to go about the studying. Should we watch the videos ourselves, and then when we meet, we go over practice questions relating to that specific section? Should we separately do the practice questions then discuss our answers? Should we do each one together and bounce ideas around? Should we do something else with our time that may be more efficient? I'd love to hear what you are doing or what you have done. Hope everyone is welI. Thanks :)

Hello, I recently took my first LSAT diagnostic. I took the June 2007 PrepTest (timed, under test like conditions), scoring a 162. I missed 5 on LG (-2 that I didn't finish, -3 incorrect), 9 on the two LR sections combined (was rushing toward the end, but I actually got the easier questions wrong more often than the harder ones), and 4 on the RC (again, tended to get easier questions wrong more than the hardest ones).

I've started studying with 7Sage, aiming for 15-20 hours a week for 12 weeks with at least 9-10 more timed practice tests. How much score improvement is reasonable to expect in this case? What are some of the strategies I can use to ensure that I'm maximizing my increase and not just hovering around this diagnostic score? Planning on taking the September administration. Thanks!

I have been scoring almost perfect on LR & RC within the time constraints (-1 or -0 on both).

I can only get -6 when taking LG with the time constraints BUT when I do LG problem sets with no time constraints I get -0. Does anyone have advice for doing LG faster without messing up?

When does ProctorU open up time slots for the September and October LSAT? Should I make a ProctorU account prior to receiving an email from LSAC? Additionally, does anyone know the earliest and latest times in a day to take the exam?

I am a Month to Month User. I was working on the Assumptions & Weakening Questions Module of the Syllabus. I went to check how many videos i have left to review, but I noticed that it says I completed 77% of the core curriculum.... Which is odd, considering that my progress was just about 2% half an hour ago. I then realized that Almost all of the lessons in the Syllabus was locked and I need to upgrade to view them. I already pay about $69 a month. Is there a way to fix this?? I need help please!!

I would like to offer help to people who are struggling or just getting started with LR over zoom or discord. My last 6 PTs averaged at 170, and I usually score around 0/-2 for LR. I am planning on taking the Sep or Oct lsat and I'm still trying to increase my score- so I am hoping that by helping others, I can also improve.

I have very open availability, so let me know if you are interested!

Anyone else just working on problem sets and everything got locked as if subscription wasn't paid. My last payment was end of May and it should last until June 21st. I'm really upset right now because I need to study, so why am I getting locked out of something I paid for?

Hey everyone! I joined 7Sage in 2016 and it's been a long, long journey, but I just graduated law school! Having been through the whole thing at this point, I thought I might have some insights people would be interested in. So, I'm going to open up a Zoom session and answer anything y'all want to ask. So bring your questions or just come and lurk. We can talk LSAT, law school, life, whatever y'all want.

Thanks to everyone who came out! Really great questions, and I hope people were able to take away something valuable. And if anyone with pressing questions wasn't able to make it, I'd be happy to answer questions in the comments, so ask away!

    This may be a stupid question, I don't spend a lot of time in the discussions. But, for example, 7Sage lists my odds of being admitted to CU-Boulder with my GPA and predicted LSAT score at 79%, while the LSAC version lists just 42%. That's a huge difference. It looks like the data for 7Sage may be a little older, but that still seems like a steep drop-off. Any ideas?

    Hi everyone,

    So I have a dilemma -- I graduated with my bachelor in July 2021. I am a non-traditional student (Finance major, started freshman year of college in 2011 and was on and off in school for about decade).

    I recently decided I want to apply to law school (something I have been considering for a year or two now). Problem is, I have a low uGPA (according to LSAC). They recalculated my GPA to 2.79 (ouch). It is not what I graduated with, but due to some irresponsible early years in college, the grades screwed me. This was when I decided I wanted to be a mathematical sciences major at one point in 2012-2014, the classes did not go well.

    I have NOT taken the LSAT yet, and I am scheduled for the June 2022 test.

    I have always been a good standardized test taker (SAT: 1860/2400 at the time, ACT: 25 (ish), ASVAB: 97 -- (Note: did not go to military but took the test because I wanted to go at one point). I do realize, however, that the LSAT is a different beast. Not sure how I am going to do, since I opted NOT to take a diagnostic, I do not see the point personally other than potentially stressing myself out.

    My target school is Florida International University (T100 school). It is somewhat local for me and they are one of the only law schools in the area with a part time program other than Nova Southeastern University (which is ranked considerably lower). I am trying to go for their part time program. I am a mom (had my son in February 2020) and it just works better for me and my life.

    Any advice? I am so nervous. What type of score do you think I would need to be considered competitive?

    ANY words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. This whole thing is causing me anxiety lol.

    Thanks.

    update: it was just for the LSAT writing portion, i misread :)

    Hello everyone, I'm writing in June and just got an email that had a section discussing how physical scratch paper is not allowed and that the LSAC has a digital scratch paper section to type notes. I'm honestly really worried because I've been doing LG all by hand and not sure how well this will translate to the online interface...

    I have dumb question that I unfortunately don't know the answer to. I am taking the lsat in either September or October. So I was wondering should I complete the whole course before I take the lsat for the first time, or should I only complete part of the course? I'm nervous that I'm going to run out of pt.
