Hello, I quit my job in October and have been studying full time since for the June LSAT, however I was not at all consistent at first and am barely finishing up the core curriculum soon and do not feel like I will be ready for June so I am thinking of taking the August LSAT instead. However, applications begin a month after which leaves little time to prepare my personal statement and letters of rec from professors. Is it likely to hurt my chances if I don't apply within the month applications open this cycle? My undergrad GPA is not good so I am really relying on my LSAT score to get into schools (aiming for 168+, first pt at 155).

Would anyone recommend taking the June LSAT anyways just so I can see where I am at and know how to prepare for August?

Just for fun.

Cost of Attendance being equal to you, which school would you choose?

Hey 7Sagers,

A new single mother here of a 6-month old baby girl in my early 30s. I've been working in the legal field as long as I've been avoiding this test lol! So, after putting off the LSAT for a decade for grad school, work, and marriage, I'm finally back into the LSAT game and really want to complete my journey with the LSAT. My LORs, transcripts, and everything is in but the LSAT! I really want to get into law school and want to inspire my little girl. Any words of advice for motivation would be greatly appreciated! Any other mommas out there who kept continuing their journey? It's really hard to study with a little one, but she gives me so much strength to finally face this exam again. My strongest section is LG, just got The Loophole to read for LR, and just a confession--I get discouraged by the RC section because although I have a MA in English, I hate the RC passages on another level lol! It's been really hard to improve in this section the most. But nonetheless, I'm ready to finally get this test out of the way to start my law school journey and am looking forward to reading your tips! My target is 165+ and wish to take the Oct 2022 exam. Thanks! :)

Hello everyone, I know this might be rare, but does anyone in UK currently prepare for lsat and want to have a study buddy/study group? I am about to take lsat on August and October respectively this year, and it will be cool if someone can study together :) either online or offline (I will be in london this summer and study part time, but we can adjust the schedule later.

I am about to fool proof all games from PTs 1-35. Is it recommended to fool proof by game type? Meaning is it better to do, say, all of the in/out games from 1-35, then turn to other game types? Or is it recommended to go straight through the games in PTs 1-35 and, therefore, be exposed to many different game types in a random order?

So, I definitely underestimated this exam my first time around (insert clown face emoji) and now I'm planning on taking the exam in Sep or October 2022. Without much preparation at all, I took the exam and got a 138. Needless to say, I was devastated. I'm trying to pick my confidence/dignity to try this again and take the exam seriously. Ideally, I would like to aim for the 160s. Am I delusional to expect such an increase?

Just finished PT 77 and my usual BR partner isn't responding, anyone up for some BR??? HMU

Hello everyone!

This is my first time posting here and hope someone can give me some study buddy advice.

I took the LSAT Jan of 2021 and got a 140. This was after a 7 week kaplan course. After that, I didn’t take my studying seriously until November 2021. I purchased 7sage in November and have learned more than I did with Kaplan. I still haven’t taken a full exam because I’m barely at the point in LR where I understand the question stem, and I understand the stimulus. I still struggle with hard questions but at least I know what I’m reading and understand the question stem. However, I still haven’t gotten to LG or RC. Right now I’m consistently getting 15 correct and my goal is 20. Should I move to those sections after I consistently score 20 correct in LR?

When it comes to a study group or a study buddy what’s the best suggestion? Should I contact someone that also scored around 140 or slightly higher? I don’t know if someone with a higher score would want to help me when they have their own concerns.

Lastly, I had a terrible burn out so now I only study about 3-4 days a week 2 hours a day. I’ve balanced my life out with my full time job, the gym and seeing my friends. My prior study schedule had me isolated, and stressed out. Yes I’m studying less, and it may take me longer, but I have less stress and enjoying my life again.

Any suggestions help. Thank you!!!

I started 7 Sage back in September of 2021 and it has been interesting to say the least. I decided to take on the course curriculum full time. I have followed and finished the core curriculum full time since September 2021 and am EXTREMELY dissatisfied. How can 7 sage possibly justify only a 12 point increase (136 to a 149) in 7 months of full time practice? In fact, in the past two months I have actually gone down 1 point and literally can't beat my best from two months ago. I put my trust in them and all I hear back is robotic responses. "Study harder", "Try our this and that at $$$$ amount", "Trust the process", "Blind Review". I understand that people learn at their own pace but there is a difference between difficulty of a subject and a complete diminish in return. I have come to the realization that 7 sage will keep me swimming in circles by repeating the same instruction that got me there in the first place. I train just as hard if not harder than many 170+ scorers and my time stamps show it. Unfortunately, I don't have a white picket fence life that allows me to write a check to 7 sage for $3,000 for for the best instruction tailored to me.

Hi there. Looking to start a study group soon with the goal of achieving 160+ score by August.

I have taken the LSAT multiple times now with a top score of 150. Regrettably, both times I did not study as hard as I needed to. Before my most recent test, I studied slowly for 3 months and was PTing at 156. My goal is mid 160s. I improved in RC a lot, was scoring pretty well in LR, but have struggled with LG. I know that the LG section is the one that, if focused on, can cause major score improvements.

I do my best work in study groups and am hoping to form a group that is able to meet virtually and consistently 5:30-7:00 PM Pacific Time a few times a week. Hoping to create a structure for our meetings where we practice together, share ideas, strengths, weaknesses, and relate to one another as hopeful law school students. This is a stressful test and so is the process of applying to law school!

Comment below if interested. Thanks.

Can someone go over the answers please? I was between A and C but ended up choosing A. The right answer is C.

Hello,

if you offer tutoring in LR or RC, please send me a PM. Plan on taking the June Exam and would like to do a few sessions a week until then.

How many sections do yall recommend taking for the PTs? Seems like there's an option to simulate the modern LSAT with the 3 scored sections which (correct me if I'm wrong) might give a more accurate score estimate. However, it might be better to simulate all 4 sections for stamina building and mimicking actual test day. So... what do yall think?

@7sage staff is there an option to take all four sections but have only 3 sections count towards the score?

Hey I'm looking for a group that can meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm EST to prepare for the August or September 2022 LSAT. Let me know if you're interested and I'll pm you! Was thinking of having it via Zoom.

P.S. I know there is a similar post made not too long ago but I wouldn't be able to make the timings due to my work schedule. So, I'm hoping to provide an option for people in the same boat!

This question had me sorta off the rails briefly cuz I was expecting to see a cookie-cutter flaw problem. As if laughing at my assumption, the dilemma posed by it vexed me. I was torn between two competing choices, (B) and (E). In the end, I was convinced that any safety protections like child safety seats demand the observation of rules with rigor should one want to maximize "security benefits from them".If a parental figure fails to install the seat properly, relying on a wrongful belief that the mere existence of it would be a fool-proof/copper-bottomed guarantee or a surefire thingy for "child safety in the vehicle", then he or she could engender more probabilities for putting it in jeopardy. But (B) was such a clickbait and I was almost catfished. The more children are on the road, the more they could be exposed to dangers underway. Thus, I was baffled by the difficulty of this question at the outset. I was wondering whether I am being an outlier here. Of course, every question asks us to find "The Best Answer Choice"by eliminating all the others, however viable and feasible they are. What are ur thoughts on this?

I wish 7sage could provide passage-only view in RC like the real test!

I found it helps outline the passage better in my mind.

Curious how many people actually uses this function on test day.

I have 3.55 GPA and I think I can get around 170-178 on the LSAT. I know that this is something I have to discuss after I take the LSAT but I am wondering to what extent everyone around here is willing to take a loan out to attend a HYS Law or any of T-14 law schools. I think it is worth it to take a full 380,000 USD loan out to attend any of HYS Law, but I personally don't think it is worth it to attend any of T4-T14 law schools with 380,000 USD loan. I have seen folks who have graduated from lesser well-known schools and still end up as an associate making at least 150,000 USD per year. What I am saying is people don't walk around with a sign that says which law school they have attended: I think this mindset is too premature. Could you please share your thought on this?

Hi everyone, I apologize if this is a bit long. I'm going to begin taking practice tests soon to hopefully take the test around August to October of this year. I've been researching and debating how best to do practices tests between LawHub and 7Sage. I now seek the opinion of the 7Sage community.

I am leaning towards doing them all on LawHub to use the correct testing format in the self-paced mode. This would involve pausing each section (instead of submitting it) once my 35-minute window is up to avoid answers since LawHub doesn't hide your score/correct or incorrect answers. Then I would blind review the paused sections and input my answers on the 7Sage convert to paper option. Of course, on the other hand, doing the tests on 7Sage is nice since you don't see your score and have the blind review interface.

Another dilemma is since LawHub has all of the PTs in the same order (I believe it's LG LR LR RC), is that another reason 7Sage is better since their tests are in the actual order real tests were? Does anyone have experience doing only ones in the same order on LawHub, or do you purposely do them on 7Sage to have different section orders? I'm unsure if it would be a good thing to take every practice test in the exact same order on LawHub.

Also, during my research, I had seen a post by a 7Sage staff member on a Reddit forum who recommended that we take 90% of our PTs on here and 10% on LawHub.

What method do you guys personally do, and what website do you use to take practice tests?

For context, I am taking the April 30 LSAT. Is there such a thing as taking too many practice tests between now and the actual test (11 days) that would do more harm than good? Doing it for the endurance practice.

Or would I be better off doing fewer practice tests and more drills on weaker areas instead?

Thanks in advance!

For this question, I was stuck between C and D, but D said “dominant” news source, which wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the stimulus.

Thoughts?

Hi guys, looking for some advice on LGs. I have been working on them for a few weeks now (ok, like two, lol), and haven't seen much improvement on time. I can answer most/all of the questions successfully (maybe -1 or -2 on a bad day) but my speed isn't improving (or at least not much). I diagram on time I think (a minute or two-ish), but I think what's bogging me down is the time it takes to try out must/can be true q's or must/can be false q's, as well as sometimes making new, more difficult inferences for questions with new if's. Idk if it is just that though, because I am taking more time answering every question than I should be. I've just been drilling problem sets, but not sure if there is a better method I should be looking into. Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks.

really confused about this question. cant even diagram the stem. any help appreciated

Hi there,

For the past couple days, the video explanations for Preptest 86 have been missing. I'm so confused on if this is an issue from my part or if other people are experiencing the same thing. If the 7Sage admin could let me know, that would be great :) Studying for April right now and I really wanted JY's insight on the reading comp passages, but they're nowhere to be found.

Hi everyone!

I can't see any explanations for LR an LG for this PT, only RC.

Do they not exist or is it a technical error?

Thank you for the help!
