I scored 160 on both the April and August tests. I'm wondering if it's worth it to retake in November with the help of a tutor. Anyone have experience in the same situation?

I understand that most law schools have rolling admissions and I have read and heard people say the earlier you apply the better chance you have. Is this true? Because I am aiming for Fall 2023 and my plan is to take 2022 April, June, Oct, and apply after I get satisfying scores from any of those tests.

I appreciate all of you guys' opinion and thank you!

Has anyone had their icons turn gray yet? I took the LSAT on August 15th and scores were scheduled to be released today, 9/10. However, I’ve seen online that people say your icons should go grey on the day of score release and then sometime that day you will actually get your score. But my icons are still green..

Hello 7Sage friends,

While I am critical of some of Powerscore's methodologies, I think their free Crystal Balls are worth a listen. You can still sign up for the one they're hosting on 9/12/21 for the October LSAT on their website.

If you can just derive a peace-of-mind from having attended the event, rather than considering yourself as having obtained some woo-woo powers because you listened to it, I'd recommend to check it out.

Cheers and happy studying.

hi there! I just took PT 76 (shoutout to @lsat_sus btw, ill be joining your call with @canihazJD tomorrow!) and I scored a 157 (flex version). My LG was a -1, but my LR was a -10. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I should do deep analysis of the LR questions I got wrong in order to improve for next time? I feel like I do not have a good break-down process and I really want to breakthrough into the 160s.

So I have a question concerning the LSAT scoring vs. LSAT flex scoring. I took the June LSAT, so I was studying with the flex, now I'm studying with the full four section test since I'm retaking in October, which is not the flex. The scoring is kind of confusing to me. These past few tests I have taken I've scored 157, 158, missing around 28 questions (across all four sections). On my previous tests, that were flex, when I missed that many, my score was much worse. I know the year of the test can kind of fluctuate scoring as well, but I was comparing tests from the same year (2010, still in the last decadeish), that were only a few months apart. Am I spending too much time looking at the number of questions missed, and should I just focus on the score I got? Is it because for these tests it's -28 over 4 sections whereas with the flex it would be -28 over 3, therefore resulting in a worse score? I don't want to get too into my head about this because I do feel like I am improving, but I wanted to make sure!

Now that I'm thinking about this a bit more; is it because only 3 sections are factored into your score, but 7sage shows how many were incorrect over all 4 sections? I feel like this is a very confusing question, but I hope someone can try and clarify it for me!

Hey 7sagers,

Hope everyone's doing well. I am currently working on my personal statement and diversity statements and I was wondering if anyone knows of a specific tutor or company that help with revising and editing essays. If anyone has any positive personal experience with a specific tutor or company please mention them.

Thank you and good luck to everyone waiting for their scores tomorrow!

I'm wondering if it's somewhat too late to try to get the admissions consulting package for the 2022 cycle and make the most of it if I want to submit all of my applications by October. I've just seen that some people spend months with the consultants. I wish I got it sooner :(. Pls any info would help!

Hi everyone,

I am retaking the test in October. I am currently stuck at 169-170 on my PTs. I am really hoping to get that up to 173+ by the October test. Does anyone have any tips on how to narrow down what to focus on? I get about -3 to -5 on both LR and RC just depends on the test. I am having trouble pin pointing where I go wrong in LR because at this point there's no specific question type that I am having trouble with. I'm finding that with the few questions I do get wrong on LR I'm usually down to 2 answer choices but end up picking the wrong one. It's so frustrating. If anyone has any tips on how to avoid this please let me know!

Also, if anyone has any insight on how to get over this hump and make it to the mid 170s please feel free to share!

I didn't understand the explanation for the right/wrong answer choices on this one at all. Can anyone help? I initially chose (C) on my PT and I still don't understand how that could be wrong, especially in contrast to answer (A).

Thanks!

Yes (insert caps). You read that right.

This Friday, we got the man, the myth, the legend, Daniel aka @canihazJD himself who's agreed to bestow his INFINITE LSAT wisdom exclusively to 7Sage community members.

My mans scored multiple 180s on timed PTs, averaged 180 BR's leading to his exam and scored an official 172. He currently attends a T-14 school with a hunky dory chunk of mula bula.

It'll be question-based, so come with your questions and watch the magic happen. Read the title very closely to ensure your pristine and accurate preparation.

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble with the timing on LR. There's no particular question type that I get stuck on- it's usually the difficult ones in the section. It takes me around 40 minutes to complete a section with 3-4 question wrong but when I hurry I get around 7-9 wrong. I'm kinda stuck not sure what to do, any advice would be appreciated.

A few of the schools I am applying to only accept a personal statement and an addendum. Can I use the section for the addendum as my diversity statement? My personal statement focuses more on a specific work experience so I'd like to include other aspects of who I am through another essay. Thanks in advance!

How do i benefit from the wrong answer journal if i don't even understand how I got the question wrong? obviously, I got it wrong because I didn't select the correct answer and if i know what i did wrong Im sure I would have selected the right answer Lol ..... if anyone can advise me I would really appreciate it. :)

Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out if I should start scheduling law school visits. I wasn't sure if it is "a thing" for law candidates to visit school as much as it was for undergrad. I am still waiting on my August test scores which will give me a good idea of which schools I am really looking at, but do you all think it is a good idea to visit schools this fall? Since I am a spring sport college athlete, I won't be able to attend any accepted student activities in the spring, so I have to focus on that stuff this fall.

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I am a prospective applicant and plan on taking the LSAT next year. My goal is to score in the high 160s, low 170s as of now. If you worked and studied full time, I'd appreciate it if you would be willing to share how you stayed diligent with studying and working full time and achieving your score goals (especially if there are busier months in your field of work than others and how you managed working around that).

Thanks!

Hi all!

I’ve directly enrolled in a study abroad program in UK for one academic year and decided to add it to my LSAC account and request a transcript. However, I’ve just got an email from the study abroad institution saying that they are unable to send the transcript in the post because the campus has not returned to the situation before the pandemic (the majority of school staff remain working from home and students are to receive transcripts electronically), and they can only issue transcripts by pdf.

My question is, assuming that LSAC will not accept any other form of transcript even in such an unusual time, should I request to get this institution removed from my account? (I believe this transcript is not necessarily required) If so, since I do wish to show my academic records from this study abroad program, will I be able to include the transcript as an addendum (or through any other way) later in the application process?

I've emailed LSAC about this and haven't yet got any response, so I'm hoping if someone here has encountered the similar situation and is willing to offer some direction! Any suggestion is much valued :) Thank you so much!!

Can someone explain why the answer is D and not E?

Hi,

I took the test in August and am anticipating that I have to retake it again (I know I didn't so well). How do you you "re-study" the LSAT? It's like relearning the concepts I already know. Do I re-read and re-learn the concepts, or keep on practicing and watch the explanations video? I am in a position where I am stuck and don't know how to improve. Any tips would be appreciated.

From,

Jack

Two questions here:

I can see that 7Sage has an option for testing that allows for simulating the LSAT Flex with only three sections. Considering the test is back to having an experimental section, should I be prep testing the LSAT Flex three sections or continuing doing the regular four sections? Only issue I can see is that yes, I'd be getting the same stamina on four sections with normal prep test, but it would always be an extra LR section. Thoughts?

Secondly, does moving to three equal sections on the LSAT Flex (no extra LR) change my study habits? I do decent at LR for the score I am shooting for, but do significantly worse on RC and LG. Should I jump around in core curriculum to meet my needs?

Background for second question: For the first three months of studying I had been using another text besides 7Sage, but just became frustrated toward the end of the book because I did not have any guidance when I got stuck on concepts. All this to say, I know I am too late to get the entire core curriculum and appropriate number of prep tests before my October test.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I've been stuck on 158 since over a month. I could really use your help. My main problem is the Logical reasoning section. I get over 10 incorrect answers.

hi! i'll be writing in october and was wondering which PTs i should focus on? are the older ones more indicative of the current LSAT or the newer ones better to review? if anyone has recently taken an LSAT i'd love to know your input!

I received a score of 171 in 3 of my last 5 PTs, but I'm having trouble getting over this hump. My goal score is a 173 based on the new T-14 medians, and I'm not sure whether I should be spending my time before the October LSAT just taking PTs or drilling. I struggle the most with Inference questions in RC and Weaken questions in LR, and I have been drilling these with some improvement. I typically miss between 4 and 6 questions in RC, between 1 and 4 questions in LR, and typically go perfect or -1 in LG. I have gone as high as 177 during BR, but cannot score higher than 171 timed. Any tips would be appreciated!

I am wondering how other test takers stregically use the highlight function. From my understanding, this will be available on test day. I see in the lessons (especially logical reasoning), that circling strong words, underlining the conclusion, etc. is used. How do you all use the highlight function and what do you choose to highlight?

Thank you!

Anyone have a good study schedule they're willing to share with me? Maybe like a weekly one, for example like Mondays is logic games and Tuesday is LR and how many hours do you spend on it. If that makes sense....thank you!!
