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!

Is it better to have a cancellation and a higher score....or a low score paired with a higher score?

I'm discouraged because of my January score. I was extremely sick at the time (with Covid) and my score is much lower than I was making on my practice tests. I'm already signed up to retake for the February exam, which is in 10 days, because I want to apply to law school before the March 15th priority deadline. But now I'm doubting myself and rethinking everything and thinking maybe I should wait and retest in the Fall and apply for the next cycle. I just really wanted to go to law school this Fall...

Hey y'all-- hope everyone is having a good Wednesday!

I just wanted to make a quick announcement about this week's LSAT Tips newsletter, which you can read here: https://7sage.substack.com/p/lsat-tips-to-retake-or-not

In this week's edition, I write about whether or not retaking the LSAT is a good option.

I hope it's helpful!

which school and when? Also any international applicant specifically who has received a response?

By type I mean MBT, Sufficient Assumption, etc. Just curious if you guys first identify it, then solve the question in a way that is unique to each type of question (diagramming, finding the assumption, etc.). If so I think I will memorize most of the question stems before attempting another full LR section haha

I really really don’t want to because I’ve taken the lsat four times already. I went from a 153 to a 161 but I got waitlisted at my top choice and a safety and I’m starting to really worry about all my other apps? I know I can improve at least 3-4 points for sure but is it worth it?

I just got my January score back and I scored two points lower than my November score. I'm happy I didn't score a lot lower, but I'm wondering if schools will really only base their decision on my highest score? I know they can see all test scores, but I also know they want to use highest score for their stats.

Hi guys, I need some advice for how to go about my third LSAT

I took the LSAT for the first time in Dec of 2015 and cancelled my score (that LG petrified me). I retook June of 2016 and got a 160. I was a bit disappointed because I had scored a 166 a couple of times, but to be perfectly honest a 160 was a pretty accurate score given my last few PTs. I am applying to law schools in the fall (aiming for T20s only) and I really need scholarships so I have decided to take the LSAT one last time in September.

I haven't looked at anything since the June LSAT and I am wondering if anyone can give me some direction for how I should start studying. To give a basic overview, I did blue print the summer of 2015 leading up to the Dec LSAT, took a couple of months off and did the 7sage cirriculum in March of 2016 and used it leading up to the June LSAT. My paid 7sage membership has since expired and I am wondering if I should get a new membership, get the LSAT trainer that I keep hearing more about, or if I should just take a lot of PTs and isolated sections since I have already gone through the basics so many times.

Without a doubt, my biggest weakness is RC. While I was averaging -2 on LG and -4 on LR, I am lucky to get less than -10 on RC. For example, one of the times i scored a 166, I got -13 on RC but did really well on the other sections. If anyone has any advice on where to go from here I would appreciate it. I have actually gotten to a point where I am thinking about giving up on RC because I feel like I have tried everything (including the RC bible) and I still suck at it but I am also still able to pull of a decent score by doing well on the other sections.

Thanks in advance!

Do I have to finish the whole curriculum before taking prep test? I Dont have the time to complete 100% of the curriculum and do lots of prep test before the exam.

I am genuinely so lost when it comes to this section, and I don't really want to move on until I am sure I have a better grasp. Can anyone help me when it comes to what these questions are even asking? I know it is a weakening question, but how do I differentiate a causation question from a basic weakening question. And once I figure out it is a causation question, how do I go about solving it????

I understand how D is the correct answer but I cannot follow the logic for why B would be wrong. Could someone explain? Thanks

Hi I have a question...there's a school that I am applying to that says I must include any violation of the law EXCEPT those that were expunged and there's another school that says include any violation including those that were expunged.

In 2016 I got a citation for possession of alcohol that was expunged.

If I include an addendum for one school, but not the other, how will this affect me in the long run with the bar and in general with applications? Should I include it with all of my schools? I plan to practice in PA or NJ if possible.

Does anyone else like genuinely think differently after all these months of studying for the LSAT, like I cannot listen to people talk sometimes without evaluating their speech and criticizing their use of logic silently in my head LMAO the lawgic lessons are just always in my brain now

On a bunch of WL's and retaking in April. Looking for a small group to try and squeeze out some points for this WL cycle.

By problem sets I mean the LR ones with 5 questions each, usually in the middle range (in the numbered list of problem sets). I feel like my brain is burning out too quickly considering that I would have to solve 50 LR questions on the real LSAT.

Also, how many "3+ difficulty" questions are there usually in a single LR section (approx. 25 questions total)? I'm getting -1 or -0 on problem sets with questions below or equal to "3 difficulty" but getting more than 1 wrong in sets with questions with "3+ difficulty" and am scared :/

Any help would be very appreciated, thanks guys.

Can I connect LSAT law hub with multiple third party test sites? I have mine connected with Powerscore already, but I feel like 7Sage is better and want to switch but do not want to lose all the questions and test taking history saved on powerscore...

Hi everyone,

I am signed up for the March 2022 exam and would love any advice on my situation:

My goal score is a 170, and I have taken 6 full PTs (five in the 70s and one in the 80s) scoring in the 162-165 range with my blind review scores in the 172-177 range. My typical-timed breakdown is:

-1 to 0 LG

-4 to -3 in LR

-10 to -8 in RC

Given that we’re a little under 6 weeks away, would improving to my goal score before the March test be doable?

If so, what else could I be working on given the time span? My focus is surely on RC along with 1-2 full PTs/week with thorough review (and rewatching recorded takes). Thank you in advance! 🙏

As the title says, I was around -3 on LG when I stopped studying last year and now I'm -10. I would prefer not to go back into the studying materials. Does anyone have any recommendations for filling in that knowledge gap?

Hi,

I have a question about how the LSAC would handle LORs in my circumstances. My current timetable is to graduate undergrad May 2023, submit apps ~Fall 2024, matriculate in Fall 2025. My question is can I receive a letter of recommendation, have my recommender upload it to LSAC say around Fall 2022, and then wait to use that letter for the Fall 2024 application cycle. Or would I need to receive, upload and submit a letter of recommendation a set certain amount of time before my desired application cycle?

Naturally, I would think that (most) recommenders would be able to provide a more descriptive, elaborate recommendation fresh off of my experience with them, whether it be in a course or a research project, etc, so that's why I would think to acquire these letters as early as I can, have them sit in the LSAC LOR account for a few years, and send them out with my application when its time. Is there a flaw in my reasoning here/ is this possible?

I’d appreciate any help, and am glad to provide clarification on my situation.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I created a general LSAT discord if anyone is interested in joining.

Hi 7Sagers. I'm taking my first attempt in February and I was curious how people handled different instances of things going wrong during the test: things like misreading or missing a rule during a logic game, not having enough time to get to all your LR questions, not understanding an RC passage well, etc?

I'm trying to make a plan for how I would handle things if they go wrong in order to decrease my anxiety so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sometimes I see like 10 quizzes back to back on the same topic in the curriculum. Once I believe I understand it, should I still be doing the quizzes, or skip over some and not do all of them... What worked for everyone else on here?
