I took my first LSAT in February and scored high 160s. I am looking for people to study with via zoom to try and break into the 170s. Currently PTing in the low to mid 170s. Usually free in the evenings aside from Monday and Thursday!

Howdy 7Sagers!

I'm VERY excited to announce that I will be teaching a ten-week LSAT course. If you're looking to master key LSAT concepts and strategies with the help of real, live 7Sage tutor, this is the course for you!

We will be meeting once per week for an hour at a time, and along the way I will be providing you with homework, drills, and a study plan so that you don't have to do any guesswork in preparing for this test. This course is perfect for anyone who is looking for a little more structure in their LSAT journey, with help along the way from study buddies and a teacher who knows what it takes to climb all the way to a 180.

The class will be limited to a total of TWELVE students, and sign-up is on a first-come, first-served basis. We will be beginning on Saturday, April 2nd from 11am to noon EST and continue weekly until June 4 (just in time for the June LSAT)!

Hey everybody, I found out today I got a 168 on my March 2022 LSAT which is 4 points below what I wanted (172). It was only the first time I took the LSAT but I don't really have time or the energy to go for it again considering my heavy work schedule and personal situation. I was planning on going to Rutgers University my first year anyway because I live 5 minutes from the campus and then transferring after year #1. Has anyone in here had experienece transferrring after year #1 into a top 10 school? If I had straight A's all thorught year #1 with my 168 LSAT, could it put me into possibly getting into one of the Ivy league schools/top 10?

Also, if there's anyone you can refer me to that might know the transfer process well, I'd appreciate that.

Hi all,

I'm putting together an accountability group for the GMT-4 time zone. If you're working part or full-time, are studying 10-20 hours per week, and want to group with others to help keep you on track, message me. The focus of this group is to create a realistic accountability system where we help each other stay on track and motivated for this gruesome test.

Let me know if you're interested. Serious inquiries only.

Careful Reading Difficulty

Hey everyone, I was wondering if people had any tips --

What I've found I struggle with the most is close-reading on the LSAT, specifically Logical Reasoning. I tend to zoom over words, or not digest the prompt enough, etc, etc, etc. Sounds silly, but it's definitely what kicks me in the face on difficult LR questions. I'm taking my LSAT at the end of April, and this is still my weakest area after a few months of studying.

Any advice? I'm willing to do anything at this point to fix this issue.

Today, I took a 3 section prep test prep test and scored a 157. Then, I finished the final section on a prep test I've been dividing up and taking sections on different days (to simulate the four sections I'll have on test day). I scored a 172 on this test overall. All my other prep test scores have fallen anywhere within this 15 point range. I know a little variation is to be expected, but this seems extreme. Is anyone else experiencing this intense inconsistency? And does anyone have advice on how to combat it?

My biggest barrier is consistency. I am looking for a study buddy who also wants to be consistent so we can keep each other accountable. Are you available to study together from 5:30am to 6:15am (ET) 5-6 days a week? This is the only time of day I am in full control of and I want to go through my day knowing that even if I don't get in additional study time, I would have drilled for 45 mins.

Can someone help me with these questions. I can't get myself to agree with the answers.

1.Commentator: The quality of health care is declining. Medical schools have been graduating fewer people than are needed to replace retiring physicians. Furthermore, on average, a physician now spends only 15 minutes with a patient on the patient’s first visit.

Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the commentator’s argument?

(A) The average length of all patient-physician visits is 20 minutes.

(B) More and more people are seeking physicians, thus increasing the number of patients that physicians treat.

(C) Most patients do not like to spend an inordinate amount of time in physicians’ offices.

(D) Five years ago, the average first patient-physician visit lasted 10 minutes.

(E) Most patients visiting a physician are suffering from ailments that are not life threatening.

2.Peterson, the current world record holder in the women’s 100-meter backstroke, has ranked first in the world for seven years. Her performance in recent competitions was disappointing, but during training she unofficially beat her official world record time. So she can be expected to set a new world record in the 100-meter backstroke during the upcoming world competition.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

(A) Peterson is widely expected to win the 100-meter backstroke in the next world competition.

(B) Peterson had the flu during a recent competition.

(C) Peterson has also set world records in several

other swimming events.

(D) Peterson is the only active world-class swimmer

in the world to have set a world record in the

100-meter backstroke.

(E) Peterson has in each of the past seven years

swum faster during world competitions than during training for those competitions

135 to 162!

Hey Team,

I just wanted to share that after receiving and opening the February LSAT Score today morning, the relief and joy of seeing the hard work and struggles pay off felt like nothing I have ever felt before. I know the next few words have been shared by countless people before me and it might sound useless and unmotivating but truly, "IF I COULD SCORE A 162, ANYONE CAN SCORE 165+!!!" this test is beatable.

A 162 may seem like a measly score to others on this platform who have reached the 170s and even a perfect 180 but this was my last attempt at the LSAT and I wasn't planning on taking it again after that 5th attempt, signalling at myself to move on with life. But seeing this score as a Canadian Applicant looking to get into Canadian Schools, definitely has changed/altered my life's trajectory.

When I began the LSAT journey in November 2020, I used Khan Academy and on the very first diagnostic test I ever did received a 135... Instantly demotivating, heart crushing, and morale destroying.. but at the same time I was easy on myself knowing the journey will be long - accepting that it is only going to get better from here. Then I landed on 7Sage on December of 2020 through a friend and my life around studying for the LSAT Changed.. I never thought I will be writing my own discussion post featuring my score and trying to muster up hope, faith, and motivation in others to reach for the stars when studying for this god forsaken test. Side Note: I thought the reviews people posted were fake loll... but clearly they are not..

The reason I want to emphasize perseverance is because of my experience... LSAT Attempt #1 November 2020, a couple weeks after joining Khan Academy I wanted to sit for a test to see and witness the experience of writing the actual test. Somehow from my diagnostic of 135, I managed to score a 146 on the November 2020 LSAT. And because I was eager to get into Law School in 2021, I did a preptest everyday from December 2020 to January 2021 in preparation for Attempt #2 (January 2021 sitting) without using and going through the 7Sage course and taking my time with it.. Guess what we scored on our second attempt after a month and a half of jamming PTs everyday before the test.... A WHOPPING 146.. THAT'S RIGHT.. We scored the SAME SCORE as our Blind attempt in November.. This was truly soul crushing.. Ended up taking a break for 2 weeks to recoup and to have an honest conversation with myself - of whether we want to continue doing this and take the risk.. because that is what it is, a risk.. A risk full of hopes to score well and even if we score well to be able to get in. We decided to go all in.

Knowing that my chances of getting into a school with those horrendous scores were all but gone for the 2021 year.. I moved from doing a PT everyday to ONE PT a WEEK In preparation for the August 2021 Attempt #3 LSAT - truly cementing the practice of Blind Review which works wonders!

I started to really take J.Y's advice with LG to constantly do it over and over and over again until it becomes ingrained in our memory.. with that we started going from -6/-5 to -2/0.. EVEN ON THOSE GOD AWFUL SUBSTITUTE Q's... when you implement the repeating the LG section over and over method - your intuition really starts to roll and those sub q's start to become clearer and easier.. LR was getting supremely better and I kind of Understood what people were saying when they would say "it felt right.." on tougher questions.. prior to that I HATED HEARING THAT.. but there's no better way to describe that experience.. Fast forward 7 months to August and we score a 158. I was gassed! But felt we could do better but decided to take a month break to travel across Canada to get away from the test.

I came back in October with a mentality to boost my score and to hopefully squeeze into the 160s.. I registered for the January 2022 exam.. still implementing the ONE PT a WEEK regimen. January rolls around and we score a 155😂... After that I was like eff it.. I'll hope for the best to get into a school a with the 158, if it doesn't work out whatever we tried our best and we move on.. Knowing I had one more sitting available I was like meeeeh might as well, we had already threw all this money into this process whats another $300 CAD going to do.. LOOOL Horrible justification but glad I did it.

We scored a 162 on our Feb 2022 sitting which was my FIFTH attempt. I really went into the exam with no hopes, and a defeated mentality - I want to say it helped because I didn't allow my mind to give the test all this unnecessary weight - to classify it as an exam that's going to determine my life (If I dont do well I failed in life.... NO) - life is more than this test, literally the LSAT is a smidgen compared to all the great things you all will achieve in your life.

So we went from:

November 1st Khan Academy Diagnostic: 135

November 2020 LSAT Attempt #1: 146

January 2021 LSAT Attempt #2: 146... ⚰️

August 2021 LSAT Attempt #3: 158

January 2022 LSAT Attempt #4: 155..

February 2022 LSAT Attempt $5: 162!!!!

I write all this to say, YOU CAN DO IT.. YOU CAN! There's nothing in this world you can't do

Please have faith in yourself and if youre religious/spiritual in god as well.. Because as Drake said.. it's god's plan. There are going to be days where we feel stagnant but during those days we should strive to tell our minds we can do it!

I haven't gotten into any schools yet but honestly at this point to even score a 162 is more than enough as a reward to know I can walk away from the LSAT happy and content with the effort we put in. HOOO-RAHH.

Thank you all for reading if you did and please don't hesitate to ask questions or leave a comment - I can attempt to aid wherever I can.. LOL I don't how much advice someone would want from someone who scored a 162 but hey lol the lines are open (:

I was just thinking to myself that a lot of JY's work, especially in logical reasoning questions, use diagrams and logically expressions. But on the digital test, I can't draw or write any sort of lawgic near the questions to help me answer the questions. We do get 5 pages of scrap paper, but I often find myself saving that for the Logic Games in the event that I get a double logic game section. Is there anyway around this limitation?

Please note: I am not asking to literally get around scrap paper limitations. I want to learn your strategy of dealing with difficult questions with or without scrap paper.

Accommodations?

Hi everyone,

I have formal academic accommodations with my college for time and a half on exams. I have not had them before this and did not use them on the ACT or any previous standardized test. I’m about to take my first prep test and I know the lsat does time and a half accommodations. Should I attempt it with these or without? I have all necessary documentation to be approved for the exams but I guess I’m just not sure if it’s better to err that I won’t get them since I have heard they are very very strict even with documentation.

Thanks for your help!
