Hey 7Sagers, this time of year can be rough for those of us who are disappointed in our scores as the cycle begins coming to its end, and paths forward begin to feel closed. There are hard choices to make, difficult conversations to have, and challenging emotions to process. I gave up LSAT and law school altogether when my last-chance-for-the-cycle score came back a point lower than my previous test. I got back to it eventually, but it took months to process. And things worked out fine for me.

And they'll work out fine for you too.

Anyway, I thought it might be good for folks to meet up and talk through some of this. I'm happy to moderate and talk about my experiences, but mostly I think it's just good to hear from others in a similar situation.

Hi all,

I am preparing for the June 2022 LSAT and want to take plenty of practice tests, but I very rarely have 2.5-3 straight hours of time to take the test in one sitting.

I know it's ideal to take it all on one go, but do you think it'd be ok to space one test out over a few days instead?

I figure it's better to take a test under less preferable conditions than to not take one at all.

Also, how much do you think this method would inflate my final score? Fatigue is certainly a relevant factor in determining my final score.

I’ve been studying since June 2021. I spent 4 months paying for lsat demon and switched to 7 sage sometime during November. I’ve studied consistently since (average one hour to 2 each day) and have taken 5 practice PTs. Today I received my worst score yet, a 143. I’m thinking of calling this process quits because I really do not feel as though I’m “getting this” or catching on to what I need to do in order to be successful enough to get in law school, let a lone get a scholarship, which in my financial situation is a necessity. I’m burnt guys. It’s depressing.

I'm taking a logic class and my professor is making us do LSAT problems for homework (and theres no explanations). How would i properly map out this game?

Your philosophy course covers seven philosophers: Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Locke, Nietzsche, and Plato. Each philosopher is assigned for exactly one week. The order of the readings must meet the following conditions. Rule 1: Hume is assigned before Aristotle but after Kant Rule 2: Descartes is assigned before Plato but after Nietzsche Rule 3: If Locke is assigned before Hume, Descartes is assigned before Locke. Rule 4: If Descartes is assigned before Locke, Descartes is assigned before Hume.

Can someone explain to me the reason why, when you click the "Simulate Flex" option on the prep tests, an entire section disappears..? I went to take the diagnostic LSAT Prep Test 2007 and the entire section 03 unselects.

Hello all,

So today was score release day and I'm devastated. I was really hoping to make it before this application cycle was over, but my score today was in the minimum score range of all of my perspective schools. I don't know what to do- every single PT exam I take I score within the 160-170 range, and then every time I take the real exam I score in the 150s. I am so utterly frustrated! I don't know how to close this gap, and extreme test anxiety doesn't help. I think I am going to have to go at this for another year and try again next app cycle. Does anyone have any advice for how to help my actual score reflect PT scores?

Is there no LSAT being offered in July 2022? Isn't there usually?

So unbelievably happy! I started my journey in April 2021 with a 141 diagnostic, it was so discouraging to have people tell me there's no way I can get my goal score of 165+ because the jump is too large. WELL, I can finally say I proved them wrong but I always believed in myself--I think it's easy to compare yourself with others while studying for this exam but mindset is everything. Push yourself, study hard but also take time for self care. I struggle with GAD and ADHD and it has been no easy task but with the proper schedule to balance your time efficiently and positive affirmations, you can reach your goal!

Huge shoutout to 7Sage as well, I was at a plateau at 160 since September until I decided to start using the problem sets and video explanations to focus on my weaknesses!

If anyone has any questions, my messages are open :)

Did you just take a random PT without knowing anything about what the LSAT even is, and is that considered your diagnostic score?

I actually started the LSAT journey in March 2021. I didn’t have a curriculum, I was just taking random PTs here and there, check answers, and study off of the answer explanations. I to this day never took a timed test, and all my untimed tests were always in the 160s. Then I took a half year long break. If I take a timed test now, would that be my diagnostic?

I hope everyone is doing well and that studying is coming along nicely. I’m sure we can all use a dose of motivation from time to time and I recently came across a podcast that I have found to be a great resource for me thinking long term on what can sometimes feel like a very long and difficult road to becoming a lawyer. Keeping the goal in mind is always very helpful to me. I have several areas of law that interest me, but have always been curious as to what it would be like in other fields and what their day to day work looks like. The How I Lawyer Podcast interviews practicing lawyers from a variety of specialities to answer these questions. I’d enjoy hearing back from you on whether you found this helpful in motivating you, and maybe what fields became of interest after listening. Here’s a link for those who use apple products:

The podcast can also be found on a variety of other platforms.

Enjoy your weekend and happy listening!

Based on my understanding of the stimulus, the flaw is that the author is assuming that what was true in the past (CPUE is constant= X number of sharks) is still true in the present (because CPUE has remained constant, we must still have X number of sharks).

From an abstract point, in order to weaken this we must say that something that could potentially change the conclusion has occurred in the present.

With that in mind, I narrowed down my answers to D and E. They both talk about a change. However, I really struggled to see which of those two changes could potentially change the conclusion in the present.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback on my train of thought as was as explaining why E is a better choice over D.

Thanks in advance!

1 Year and 30 PTs Later

I'm EXHAUSTED and am so happy it's over. Thank you 7Sage and this community!

January 2021 Diagnostic: 145

June 2021 Flex: 163

October 2021: 163

January 2022: 171

I know everyone will ask so here are my resources:

-7Sage

-PowerScore LR Bible

-The LSAT Trainer

-Kaplan LSAT Book (was terrible, do not recommend)

-Fox LSAT Prep LR

-Manhattan LR Book

-Cambridge LR Books

-The Loophole (I barely read this so I have zero insight)

My strengths: LG (usually -0) and LR (-1 to -3)

My beast: RC though I managed to get -1 to -5 toward the end of my studying

What ended up being a game changer for me after my October LSAT:

-Read stimulus first!

-Take a break. I was studying so much I was burnt out and bombed the October LSAT. I took a one month break from studying and then was scoring in 170s consistently after that. Burnout is REAL. Take a break. Studying 4 hours a day is only going to burn you out.

-RC Tip: Treat RC as a giant LR stimulus i.e. find the conclusion in each paragraph, identify relationship it has with other paragraphs, etc. Do NOT choose an AC that you cannot find support for in the passage. The answers are all in the passage, even the "most strongly supported" and "inference" ones, everything is in the passage.

Wishing everyone the best of luck, go kill it!

It took a year of hard work and I gained a lot of tips and tricks. Would anybody buy an ebook for $5 of the tips and tricks I learned?

I just got accepted yesterday!!! Thanks 7Sage

Hello Everyone, I am scheduled to take the June Lsat and I hope to get a score of 175. Any advice on getting to my goal?? I have purchased the LSAT Trainer and the LSAT Practice Tests.

Is there a difference in meaning between the following two statements?

Superficially, they seem to mean the same. But if I were to diagram them out, they do seem to differ in meaning.

Guys i'm honestly embarrassed to ask this question because I should know this by now but... is physical scratch paper allowed for use in LG during the current digital lsat? or in any other section?

Hello, all! I'm looking to form a study group for the June test, which will be my first time taking it. I haven't made much progress at all on completing the course on 7Sage. I'm thinking of spending 15-20 hours per week on studying. Comment if being a part of this group would be of any interest to you. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm taking the LSAT in April and I'm looking for a study group. If there is one made already please let me know, my time schedule is flexible and I study 5-6 hours a day!

Hello Everyone! My name is Trent!

I'm looking for a full-time study buddy that I can meet with online and go over the 7sage content with. I just purchased 7sage a month ago, and My plan is to take the June LSAT. I want to study three hours a day until then. I'd like to get in at least 420 hours of studying in for the exam before June 11th (puns not intended, lol).

My hours are incredibly flexible, so I could potentially work with anyone in the world, provided scheduling works out. I know my offer is quite rigorous, but is anyone willing to share this great journey to score high on the LSAT with me?

Hello everyone, my name is Nyla and I am a college junior. I am new to the law school process and am in the planning and early prep stages. I am looking to form a study group with other students/people that are new to the process. We can work on all of the planning and create a schedule/accountability to go through this process together. I am hoping to apply for Fall 2023 admission. Please comment if you are interested and I will start get in touch. I am thinking a good group size is somewhere from five to eight people (could be less though). Thank you.

Is anyone here planning to take the June 2022 LSAT? If so, do you wanna be apart of a study group? I'm really new to this so any instruction on structure would be helpful!

I love your content and it has been very helpful. However, you need a de-esser really bad. It will clean up your audio and get rid of the harsh "ess" noises. It really hurts my ears. R.i.p. headphone users. Does this bother anyone else?

Hey everyone,

After receiving my goal score on the January administration, it is time to hang up my LSAT cleats. With that comes a bittersweet departure from the 7sage community. Before doing so I want to check on a small administrative detail. Will my data be deleted when I close down my account? Only curious on the off chance I were to reopen the account. Best of luck to everyone going forward.

Hello,

I just got a 165 in jan 2022 lsat, and I want to improve from 165 -> 170 by August.

I'm an international student whose primary language is not English, so I seem to struggle a lot in RC (typically from -8 to -4).

I'm looking for a RC tutor who can help me improve my RC skills!
