I just got my oct lsat back and sadly it was quite lower than my goal score. I was able to get 170+ for my PTs in the weeks leading up to my LSAT but somehow on the real thing I just really underperformed. I also had many issues with ProctorU and it really made me lose my focus during the exam, which I think largely contributed to my performance.

Since I’m international there’s no Nov LSAT so the next one I have is Jan. It’s my last chance for this cycle and I really want to do well. Can I please have advice on how I should move forward? I took a break since the oct lsat until the score release and I'm ready to get back at it!! I’m thinking of doing a full PT per day but I’m not sure if this is the right path? I’ve done all of the exam questions on 7sage since 2000 in drill form and PT70+ in full PT form) so I’m also hoping I don’t remember any answers.

Thank you so much :)

I just wanted to give a big shoutout to 7sage and Chris Bearne! I took the August LSAT and was not super happy with my score and I decided to register for the October test, I just received my score back and made a 9 point jump (95th percentile). I am never taking the LSAT again, and I could not have done it w/out Chris, he is such an amazing tutor. Specifically, I was struggling with RC & LR, and he improved both sections significantly.

Hey guys,

so this is my third time taking the lsat i took it last year in October bombed that cause my anxiety messed me up, and made a mistake and took it within a month again and did horrible my anxiety and nervousness really gets to me. I was suppose to take it in August but didnt feel just ready, October was my next date but had an emergency in my family, now I am taking it in November. im STRESSED because my LR can be anywhere from -5 to -13, and RC is -6 to -12, I really just want to get a 160 is there any advice how i can do better in these two sections before the exam. Ive been trying it all and just feel so hopeless and scared. I'd appreciate any advice because I really want to succeed.

hi, im registered to take the Nov LSAT and I suck at LR. Averaging -13 on LR on recent PT. does anyone have any tips or tricks for weakening or flaw questions??? Or any type of suggestion for LR in general on how to do better?? I am trying to drill but I can't seem to get out of the same mistakes I keep making.

Is anyone else every afraid/hate it when they have to seemingly brute force questions? It makes me feel like I messed up gravely on something and I start to panic

169-170-175

This literally has been beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you 7Sage!

I got a 169 in January, 170 in May and a 175 in October.

After the May scores came out, I knew I had to retake-I was PTing around 174 and my anxiety during the test definitely caused me to miss questions.

One word of advice that helped me a lot: deal with you anxiety in advance. I read a post in the forum that discusses this and it was extremely helpful. My takeaway: if you tend to be really anxious during exams(like me), PT under pressure, and stick to the methodology we have been practicing instead of rushing into decisions.

7Sage really helped me a lot in identifying my problems: this meant a lot for me as I literally had less than a month to prepare for the October LSAT. I think identifying one's weak spots, whether in the form of LR question types or RC passage types, is one of the most efficient ways to improve one's grade.

Anyway, I'm just...too happy. As a international STEM major, this is way beyond what I had hoped for when I'm still studying. Hope to get into my dream school this cycle!

I'm not even sure what my diagnostic score was, but I think it was around a 143, it has been over a year since that happened, but I am happy to finally say that my LSAT journey is over. Logged in today to see a 177. 7Sage is masterful!!

If you're looking for a tutor, please message me. (hopefully that is allowed on this forum?). I was stuck in the low 160s all throughout last year, had to cancel my Oct 2021 LSAT because I panicked. Decided to delay a year and study more. Found a tutor, wouldn't have gotten here without him.

154 -> 173

I was supposed to write the LSAT on my 21st birthday. The night before I got scared and took a year-long break from even looking at LSAT content. This year I wrote the LSAT after 9 months of using 7Sage and a week after my 23rd birthday. I did not do anything special I just followed the syllabus and took 1-2 PTs a week depending on my mood and my full-time job. I just wanted to say thank you to 7sage and this community and Bon voyage to the monthly expense.

144-152-161

I can't thank 7sage enough for this program. I took the LSAT last June and got a 144 with little to no studying. I started studying again this past January and took it in August with a 152 and was devastated. I registered for the October test the day I got my August score back and got right back to studying. Then today I got my 161, which was higher than I thought I was going to get. I am over the moon and I would not have been able to do it without this program.

Hey everyone, your advice would be much appreciated. I did a very dumb thing and retook a 170. In my defense, I was PTing between 173-178 for the last 3 months, which is the only reason I decided to do it. Score release today was a nightmare and I got a 167, which I haven't scored since before the June test. There were no extenuating circumstances besides test anxiety and normal Proctor U issues. I have score preview, but I'm not sure whether a second cancel would look worse than a 3 point score drop. Things to consider (1) Admissions could assume the cancel was much worse than a 167 (2) 167 and 170 are technically in the same score band, but now it looks like I am at the lower end rather than the higher end (3) I can't retake before my applications are due so don't ask lol. If it helps, I am a nURM, nKJD, 3.90 applicant that graduated a year early from a non-ivy with some international/bilingual work experience trying for a T-10 school (NYU is my dream). Thanks for all of your help! I've heard such mixed things.

Hello,

I have letters of recommendations that are about a year to a few months old. I was hoping to apply earlier but got delayed. If I request my recommenders to update the letters, how exactly does that work? Do I have to send them a new letter request again and they resubmit the letter with an updated date, or can they simply update the already present letter on LSAC?

Please help!!!

Thank you 7sage! I just got my results back from the October LSAT and I got a 176! Thank you for the fantastic curriculum, excellent lessons and well set up and easy to use site. Thanks to you I can apply to my dream colleges, and be confident of getting in. Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏

Just canceled my November LSAT. So relieved I don't need to take next week's LSAT since I haven't quite practiced after the October test. Should I write an addendum to explain this score increase? The core reason is just that I was in poor health condition last time when I took the test in August.

I had a monthly + live subscription that ends November 20,2022. However, I just downgraded to the monthly today but for some reason I can no longer access the live classes. I assumed that I had at least till November 20 to access these classes since I paid for a full month. Can you help me access the live classes till November 20, when the new monthly subscription is supposed to kick in. Thank you

Hi, I am finishing my law school list for application but worrying rather I am making my lists too unrealistically. Thus I am here to get some comments about it.

My list is mostly made out of the schools within T40 (i.e-BU, Minnesota, Norte Dame, GW, Iowa, W&M, Washington and Lee, BC, Fordham, UC Davis, UC Irvine). I am also planning to apply one school from low T-14 (maybe UCLA or Berkeley?) or Boston University (more likely) as my early decision. Here are my Stats:

  • Korean, no green card, went American elementary, middle, high schools + college
  • 3.897 GPA, majored graphic design and minored culture and politics from an art college in the United States (not sure abt general tier…but one of the highest among art schools)
  • 165 LSAT (took 3 times, 158, 165, cancelled)
  • Almost Kjd? (graduated last year)
  • Low Soft I think? (I am volunteering as a graphic designer in several different non-profit institutions and have one internship experience, but I am not sure these count)
  • 3 recommendation letters to submit, all from college professors.
  • Looking forward to submit Diversity statement as a TCK
  • Am I making the goal too high? Any suggestions about my list? I am welcoming any of your comments and recommendations!

    When would LSAC get rid of LG? Sometime in 2023?

    Super nervous when that will happen.. If they get rid of LG it will significantly lower my score since helped me score better than other sections.. Did any of you guys hear about when exactly in 2023 it will happen?

    I'm taking test in November (2nd test) but looking into 2023 test dates as well but I want to take it before the format changes. :(

    Would the change become effective after August 2023?

    Any thoughts will be appreciated!
