Is there anyway to see analytics for the practice set drills I've been doing throughout the curriculum? I know there are analytics for preptests and you can see where you need to improve, but can you see this for practice sets/drills too?

LSATLab lets you see your accuracy/percentage of questions answered correctly or incorrectly, regardless of whether it was in a full preptest or just drills. Just wondering if 7sage also has that.

My LG scores are consistently weaker than my LR and RC scores, and LG improvement is, at this point, all I need to reach my goal score of 170+.

However, I have now taken all of the games (save for those sets that are in my few remaining ‘clean’ PTs), and am worried about diminishing returns on my LG drilling. It bears mentioning, however, that I do not score perfectly on any games that I re-do.

My plan is to try the ‘foolproof method’ of re-doing games until they’re perfect, but I still thought I would reach out if people have additional advice. What other strategies have people in my position (or a similar position) taken? Anyone have thoughts on taking games I’ve already seen with less than the recommended time, or even doing ‘unofficial’ games (i.e., those not from a PrepTest)?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve always read these success stories and wished for the opportunity to one day be able to write my own. Well, over half a year of studying and preparing, my LSAT journey is officially over!

I began with a 149 diagnostic score in June 2022 and finished with a 168 on the January 2023 LSAT, three points higher than my goal score! This would not have been possible without 7Sage and my tutor @"valentina.soares-1"

I was hesitant to spend the money on a tutor, but with a busy work schedule and limited study time, I knew that I needed additional support. Valentina made all the difference when it came to studying. The personalized study plan helped me maximize my study time by providing drills and resources tailored to address my specific weaknesses. I looked forward to our weekly tutoring sessions. She took the time to get to know me which made me feel welcome and comfortable. She also made sure to fully understand my struggles. The material we covered directly correlated with problem areas from my 7Sage analytics. She was extremely patient in her approach, even when it would take me several times to truly understand an LR stimulus. I appreciated that she would ensure I understood the concepts/reasoning before moving on to the next topic. After implementing the strategies provided for each section, my PT score average jumped several points and kept climbing. Outside of our weekly sessions, she was always available to help. From answering my email questions to even providing a Quizlet with LR flashcards. It was evident that Valentina cared about my success from the beginning and she went above and beyond to help. I could go on and on, but I cannot recommend her enough!

Thank you, Valentina! I am very grateful for your support, your guidance and for always believing in me.

I do not want to do a full LR section when studying. I am already alternating between doing a full section of RC/LG M-Thurs, Friday doing a full LR section, and want to only do half a LR section after doing a full RC or LG section. My study schedule is m/wed full RC section with half LR, tues/thurs full LG with half LR, Friday full LR.

Can anyone show me how to select only 12-13 problems of LR, or if this is even possible? Thanks in advance!

Hello all! I began studying for the LSAT in January and would love to form a small accountability/support study group. I am still working through the CC and have a full-time job. Ideally, the group would be about five people, who work full time, and ususally study around 8 pm ET. We could hop on Zoom, mute ourselves, and work through the core curriculum individually. My goal is to take the LSAT next year.

Hi all!!

I am gearing up to take the LSAT in September, but am wondering if anyone has had (or will have) accommodations on the LSAT? I am diagnosed dyslexic and I feel like I'm out of gas and out of drive with how much I sometimes struggle with comprehension, especially under stress (though this will NOT stop me, I am DETERMINED to keep going, even if it takes a little more time than others to get the score I want!! While my dyslexia can be challenging, it will not be the reason I don't pursue my dreams).

I was looking at the listed accommodations and feel extreme relief seeing that you can ask for reading out loud (this is very crucial for me) / extended time__ with proper documentation. So, I'm just wondering if anyone else has gone through the process? Or hey, even has study tips if you're willing/comfortable to share!

Thanks so much

I scored 140 on PT 52 under the normal time pressure but I scored 157 on BR. Not sure what to make of this or how to proceed in my studying. I am almost finished with all of the LR section lessons of the core curriculum. I have done the most studying on LR, which is my strongest section, and I have done very little studying on the LG section. I have done absolutely zero studying on the RC section. The majority of my mistakes during the actual test were from running out of time on the LG and RC section. I was unable to answer about 15 questions in the LG section because I ran out of time and I was unable to answer 10 questions in RC because I ran out of time. Any advice on how I should proceed in studying?

I have done problems that it's my second go-round and will choose the exact incorrect AC I did previously. It's interesting because once I know the right AC and am looking at my wrong answer journal, I clearly see what I did wrong and I'm like, I definitely knew better. And I'm bugged with myself for not remembering the concept. I think I'm pretty thorough with my WAJ, but am I not being thorough enough? Or just takes time for this stuff to sink in?

I'm working full time on Eastern Time and looking for someone in a similar boat. I'm currently PTing at 168-174 and my weak spot is Logic Games (keep getting ~ -5). Looking for someone to do untimed drills with and really get into the technique, process, and reasoning behind these. I think I do timed sections and BR better individually with LG so want to spend time doing in-depth reviews. Maybe we can each solve a game and then solve each other's games and see how we did, analyze, and discuss. I am aiming to get -0 on LG.

I am free on Tuesday evenings after 5 PM and Thursday evenings after 5 PM (EST) to do this. Let me know if there is interest!

just another thank you seven sage post!! never thought I would get to make one of these lol. I've seen so many of these posts and the only part of them that discouraged me from time to time was when people mentioned their crazy score increases yet the score they were comparing their official score to was their diagnostic test. I scored a 147 on my official first LSAT after already having exposure to/studying for the test. I think it is important to mention that it is fully possible to make SIGNIFICANT gains even if you have yet to see them after a few months of studying! Be patient with yourself :) patience was something I lacked most days!!

I definitely understand and am aware of my mistakes and am regretting not finding a real solution before, but here's my case.

I took the LSAT 3 times over 2022 (mainland China, extreme COVID-19 measures)

I boosted my grade from 153 to 159. Not ideal, of course. My PTs show consistent 165s. There were factors including being quarantined without any LSAT materials and my laptop for 21 days, my uncle committed suicide a week before the test and I was the only one who was in the area that could take care of him, one of my parent got diagnosed with diabetes and I had to spend my time taking care of him, my entire family tested positive for COVID.

These factors impact my grade significantly since I literally cannot have time to prepare. I did apply to this cycle, but I know my chances are low.

I am not sure if I boosted my LSAT up to a 170+, would that change anything for re-applying to the next cycle? Are my previous grades going to reflect badly about me?

I don't want to keep my hopes too high. Trying to be as realistic as I can right now :(

On the conditional indicator drill made by the student, the logical indicator "will" appear and the rule say's it indicates a necessary term.

"Will" however, is not on the "4 Translation Group Cheatsheet". It also confuses me because on the basic translation group 2 flashcards an example is "only a GPS will reveal where you are" .... the answer indicates that in lawgic it reads:

a --> GPS and /GPS --> /a.

I do realize that the LI "only" is also in that sentence, however the term "will" is now tripping me up and I do not know to include it in my Group 2 Logical Indicator or not. Please help! :)

It looks as if the 7Sage study schedule includes the prep tests in the hourly commitment. Although, without them it looks as if it is a less daunting endeavor given the number of hours needed to study is almost cut in half. I wanted to ask if the actual material is all 500+ hours or are we only truly learning in the "core curriculum" portion of the study schedule?

Has anyone had a similar issue?

The particular issue I'm having is that the summary of the AC's correct and incorrect under the Drill Sets "Review Results" is not matching what is shown in the individual explanations. For example, I just completed four logic games from PT 31. As I'm in the process of FPing, I'm not always BRing directly after, I sometimes show results immediately under timed conditions to see what was correct and incorrect. I got four incorrect of the thirty five, three from one particular game and one from another. Specifically, PT 31, S1, G2 (Music store sells ten CD's), the results from the Drill Set say I got 7, 8, and 13 incorrect. When I go to watch the explanation, it now says 7, 8, 9, 12 were incorrect, with 13 having changed to correct. When I go over to the right of the AC's and hover over the wheel showing previous ACs with the selected AC and the corresponding date, it's giving me the incorrect date's AC. This is just becoming a slight challenge as I'm starting to notice a pattern where the AC's are becoming convoluted with the previous attempt. I'm using Safari on macOS Monterey 12.6.3

Hi there, I'm reviewed an old LR questions (PT24 S3 Q10) and this particular problem introduced subsets into the mapping. I have come across these problems in the past and never apply the subset. Anyone know if there is a core curriculum lesson or article/post on this matter that's reliable?

My issue for this particular question, is that I wrote S ->/MB while JY wrote it as /MBs. I have looked at other LSAT resource forums and they solve it in the same manner as I do.

Can people please post LSAT percentiles from official tests for 2022. They have changed over time. The ones I posted are official percentiles from either personal or from friends for 2022. The percentiles do slightly change over time but the ones posted are current/ official percentiles. I'm missing 171-174 if anybody has received/ and or knows of someone with that score please post it in the comment sections. Also if you think there's value in filling 162-165 and 167-168 feel free to also post that. The main intention was from 96% (170 and UP). Again the percentiles have changed! A 170 used to be top 2% (98%) and lowered to top 3% (97%) as more and more people started scoring higher scores. Now its top 4% (96%). If I do end up getting responses then I will edit this post and fill up the missing percentiles/ scores.

I know a 161= 78%

166= 90%

169= 95%

170= 96%

171=

172=

173=

174=

175= 99%
