I have been taking PrepTests from earliest to latest and have been steadily improving, with my highest being a 164 and hovering around the 162 area. But when I took PrepTest 90, I felt amazing and was flying through the questions much faster and with more ease than I usually do. I ended up getting a 168. I checked and saw that PrepTests 90-92 were based on the first LSAT Flex in May 2020. How do these PrepTests compare with the current online LSAT? Are they around the same difficulty? I am taking the upcoming June LSAT. Thank you.

Leading up to test day

Taking the June LSAT this Saturday. I have been taking as many tests as I can recently, taking PT 92 today and getting my highest score. I have 2 more full days before test day. What do y'all suggest one does in these upcoming days? I was planning on taking another PT tomorrow and then taking a break the day before the test. I am starting to think I should not take another PT and keep my confidence up with the one I took today. I do know that there is room for improvement for my PT scores, so should I try to maximize that before test day, or is it too close to make any progress?

Also, what kind of advice would you give for test day? My test is at 1pm, so what would you recommend I do that morning?

I cannot devote full-time to the taking of LSAT because I need to go out and work. Usually, I get 4-6 hours of studying time per day. I am wondering if any of you might be able to take a look at my study plan and provide any feedback.

Day 1: Take a new PT + Review 1 old LG section

Day 2: Blind review the new PT + Review 1 old LG section

Day 3: Create a wrong answer journal for LR and RC for the new PT + Review 1 old LG section

Day 4: Categorize the LR question stems for the new PT + Review 1 old LG section

Day 5: Foolproof the LG section for the new PT + Review 1 old LG section

Any thoughts?

Hello everyone!

I applied for Fall 2022 but did not get into my top choices so I'm reapplying.

Here's my numbers,

Untimed:

LG: usually -2 or under

LR: usually -4 or under

RC: RC varies pretty wildly, usually ranges from -4 to -10

Timed:

LG: around -4

LR: around -8

RC: usually around -10

This tells me that I could score anywhere from 160 to 170ish (My real score is around 160 but goal is to hit 170+)

*One caveat is that these estimates are based on individual sections of different PTs. So it does not take into account how some sections might be easier than others for a specific test (I.e., they are not representative of actual tests). The numbers can be skewed if I happened to use hard RC LR LG when I study and vice versa.

I don't think I can improve a meaningful amount on RC, and I'm signed up for August LSAT.

I realize that the best way to get the most accurate score is to get an average of fresh PTs in the late 80s and early 90s which I have not done so far. I plan to do this about a month before the real test.

I'm tempted to take a fresh PT untimed to see my full potential, I would estimate my score to be anywhere from high 160s to mid 170s.

Should I push back the exam? Is 3 months enough time to improve from averaging 160 to averaging 170?

I study about 2-3 hours a day almost every day.

Any advice will be much appreciated! :)

Blurry Picture

Hey everyone,

I just finished my LSAT writing section. However, I realized that when it prompted me to take a picture of my id, i held it away from the camera and next to my face on accident. I believe it will be super blurry, so is this something I need to worry about? Am I overreacting?

I Just Graduated Law School!

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!

Hi I took the April LSAT and got a 161. Much lower than my average Pt's. My last 5 PT average is 168.6 and my last 10 is a 166.8. If anybody wants free tutoring I'm offering it. This is would be my first time tutoring someone and also keep in mind I am still in the process of taking this exam. The reason I am doing this is because it would benefit me as well in explaining topics or AC's to someone. If interested lmk

Please also DM a short paragraph where you are in your study journey/ skills/ weaknesses/ how many PTs you have taken/ if you've finished the CC/ and anything else you'd think is important to state.

Hey all! Just need some advice on which section of the CC I should dive into first. I know typically it's recommended to follow the outlined structure: LR -> LG -> RC. I worked on LR predominantly on another curriculum before switching to 7Sage and it's one of my better sections. I haven't touched LG, at all, and know it's my weakest.

That being said, do you recommend I just tackle LG first?

hello guys,

i am looking at the lsat score conversion calculator that is provided on the home page of 7 sage. What is confusing me is this: when i put the number of questions that I'm allowed to get wrong in order to calculate what it takes to get the score i want, should I put the number of wrong questions on the entire 100 questions of the test or only on the 3 graded sections which make up roughly 75 questions? i ask this because if lets say I make 20 mistakes in 100 questions, but 15 in the 75 questions, I am not sure which one to put in the conversion calculator. When I put 15, I obviously get a better score, but im not sure if this number is inflated because it is assuming a lower group of questions per test then the calculator intends for me to assume.

I would appreciate your help as it would allow me to see how close to my goal I really am!

So I took the June 2007 test before doing much of the material. I missed one question in logical reasoning and two in reading comprehension (and bombed the logic games). Obviously I'm focusing my prep on the logic games right now. But should I feel secure in my ability with the logical reasoning+reading comprehension? Could that one test be a fluke? How much prep should I do with those two sections? I'm aiming for an excellent score; I'd like to go to a top law school.

Thanks!

After a lengthy study journey for the LSAT and applying for two cycles, I finally got acceptances and scholarships from three high-ranked law schools and picked one based on my needs. I cannot thank 7Sage enough for my LSAT study and for the helpful posts on the admission process. The best way to show my gratitude to the study community on 7Sage is by offering some free one-on-one tutoring sessions to students in need.

My LSAT score is 169. But I got that score from a no-sleep night before the test day, and three internet crushes on the test day. With that said, my practice PTs' average is 173. My strongest suit is the LG. I usually finished section 0/-1 with 3-5 minutes left on my clock. I feel confident about LR too. I can do a medium-difficult section -1 to -3 with 1 /2 minutes left. I struggled with the reading section, but I improved my performance from -10 to -3/-5 and finished all passages on time.

Feel free to PM or leave a comment below if you have any questions about studying for the LSAT or applying to law schools. I'd love to share my experience and opinion.

Room Requirements

LSAC just sent out an email mentioning that we should not take the test in a room with floor to ceiling windows, but this wasn't explicitly discussed in the Candidate Agreement. The candidate agreement says no rooms with glass walls (like cubicles), so this entire time I've been planning to take my test in my kitchen where I have a dining table. However, the kitchen leads to the backyard so there is a sliding door that is almost floor to ceiling...what should I do?

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?

  • Hey, the 3rd LG was sequencing and the last one was In/Out, right?” (Don't mention the game type)
  • The last question in the LR section was a lawgic heavy MBT! Was the answer (B)?” (Don't mention the question type or ask what the answer was)
  • What was the answer for the last question of RC? I think it was an inference question? Was the answer (C)?” (Don't mention the question type or ask what the answer was)
