Hello! I was wondering where I can view my starred questions? I usually star questions when I'm watching the video explanation for them.

I am writing from the perspective of a person who desired to score a 175+, spent 8 months studying, and in the end scored a 159 come test day. I am here to tell you that, no matter what score you achieve on the LSAT, you are worthy of the dreams your have outlined for yourself and are capable of achieving them. Keep working hard and one day I will see you at the top!

P.S. I am almost finished with applications! My essays are going great and I can't wait to refine them some more tomorrow. Best of luck to you, friend!

Yours Truly,

Hello everyone,

I've noticed that one of my main problems (other than timing, which I hope will come with time - pun intended) is not understanding the stimulus correctly.

I say this while referring to questions with 4/5 or 5/5 difficulty. Sometimes, however much I read the stimulus it does not make any sense. I've also noticed that the more I spend time trying to formulate what is happening and removing banter from these overly complex sentences, the more I tend to get lost. It's like my brain gives up.

I have started trying to rephrase every sentence in the stimulus on paper to try to get myself used to doing it mentally, though I am not sure how effective that will be (i'll happily report after a week or two of trying this)

But, does anyone have any tips? Should I spend sometime reading dense literature to get used to it? Is my lack of strong vocabulary the problem??

Any tips and tricks are welcome.

Thanks in advance

None of my friends are taking the LSAT and so can't relate, I already wired my tutor the money and he isn't responding to my emails and text messages, my study partner is all business, I've been staring at a blank Microsoft Word document that is supposed to be my personal statement for the last six months, and I've gone through literally a dozen practice tests in the past twelve days missing too many questions, and my score won't budge. Probably the most out of place but genuine post I've made in the past three years. Anybody want to have a casual conversation that ISN'T about why A is wrong and D is right or how much is your hourly rate?

Or can someone just post a bunch of questions they had from the PT so I can tell myself I'm being productive by writing out solutions?

Can someone break down each answer choice?

Thank you

What is the difference between Question Difficulty and Psg/Game/S Difficulty in the PT score breakdown?

Hi all, any advice on how to explain an uneven academic performance throughout an undergraduate degree? My story is a rather complicated one and not easy to tell in a short paragraph, so I'm trying to figure out how to concisely convey necessary information while not being able to point to linear growth? Appreciate any advice.

Hi all

I’m looking for any tips for memorizing the logical indicators (group 1, 2, 3, 4 and what to do with each of them). Does anyone have any tips? I tried Flashcards and electronic Flashcards but I’m just not a memorization person.

I wanted to write a PS that details abuse I suffered during childhood. Is this too much for admissions committees/will they report it to anyone? Sorry if these are dumb questions, I just want everything on my application to go well.

For the question that asks "are you a first generation college student' or "are you the first one in your family to get a bachelors degree", I am confused if it asking in America or anywhere overall? Might be a dumb question but I thought it was important to check as colleges in the country I am from are not comparable to colleges or even fancy high schools here lmao.

Hi,

Could someone kindly help me understand why/how A is the answer for this question if my interpretation below is incorrect?

I got this wrong. I picked C, but now I think I see why A is right and why C is is wrong. Is C wrong because it is merely stating a fact stated by the stimulus - that there will be more males to x # of females at both lakes therefore it's not some we are 'inferring'?

And, is A right because given the sex ratio information re: females and males in the stimulus, we know there will always be a lower percentage of adult males at Western than at Eastern Lake?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi there,

Working full-time and trying to manage the LSAT has not been an easy journey. I'm looking to find one or two other people in the NYC area to do in person study sessions. Ideally, I'm looking for someone who would be down to meet at a coffee shop once a week to study (even if it's just as accountability budies- like we each do our own thing) .

I am in the Manhattan area and would love to connect with other people in the area who are also on this LSAT journey.

Happy studying!

-Miriam

Wondering if anyone in the nyc area is interested in starting a study group. I usually go to the library in midtown every weekend to study but I think it would be really helpful to have a small group to exchange strategies with/take practice tests with. message me if ur interested!

I just saw some people post about how law schools are now accepting GRE scores as well as LSAT at every ABA accredited school. I also saw some articles online about it. Just wanted to reach out and ask if this is true, and if anyone else has any information on it, and what are the implications other than having more options.

Hi,

So I did not score high on the november lsat :( I got a 157.

I did have a five point increase from the last time I wrote the LSAT (152 in august). I'm unsure where to go from here study wise. Do I stick to my study method (1 PT a week, blind review, 7sage videos to help me with LR/LG I am struggling with)? Should I focus more on CC? I just originally felt like it was time consuming and wanted to start practicing sooner rather than later. Do i change it? Does any one with their successful score have any study method tips?

If it matters, I didn't get 7sage and use the study method above until september.

Please help!!!!!

if I register for January, but do not take it/withdraw before the test day, will it show up as an attempt on my account?

Do people BR all of the questions in the Problem Sets or just the ones that you have flagged? Based on what JY says in the BR section it seems to be that you ignore the ones that you don't circle? But in the comments everyone seems to BR everything

Could someone please explain why A is wrong? I chose E first and then read the conclusion again and thought that "necessary physical therapy" was some sort of a trap. Please #help. Thanks in advance!

Thank you 7 Sage and I am blessed for a wonderful community!

Background: Becoming an attorney was a dream and my goal and I knew this was not an easy one since I struggled with standardized testing. I applied to law schools years ago and was not successful. Despite a long journey with the LSAT, I tried again and found 7 Sage and improved from 135-151. At last! Even though 151 is my fourth score on file, I am grateful to land in the 150s.

I would like advice on whether or not I should apply ED to a school 157-163 range with a 151 score. Median is 161 and 157 is 25th percentile. Or should I apply regular? Undergrad GPA range is 3.38-3.81

Context: I'm URM, been out of undergrad for three years, masters degree, involvement on campus/community, pro-bono legal work, undergrad GPA: 3.53 (Major: Political Science), and worked during undergrad and graduate school.

The LSAT is a process, and I call it MT LSAT. Believe in yourself!! Keep on going and swim to the finish line! :) Cheers!

I took the GRE twice back in 2017 and my highest GRE score is converted to a 154 LSAT. Should I submit my GRE score as well? My highest LSAT score is 151. I'm looking to apply to a law school with a range 157-163.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, I love when people share their final thoughts and advice as they close out of their law school journey so I thought hey maybe someone would find this post useful.

Background: I started at a 142, was PTing in the 156 range, took August 2021 got a 151 and felt pretty rough. I then started taking studying more seriously, got a tutor, and hit a 160 for November 2021. My goal was originally a 165 to hit just one schools median but I'm feeling burnt out and the majority of my schools are within the 160 range or lower, so I'm taking this win and applying now.

Disclaimer: This is what worked for me

Tips/Advice:

1. Focusing on Logic Games was the biggest help, I kept drilling and practicing new games which really helped me start moving faster. Do the foolproofing method, it really works.

2. I got the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy and her Basic Translation Drill saved me so much. DO THE DRILL. It'll help you move faster through LR. Also her Powerful vs. Provable chapter is a game-changer. I wish I would've gotten this book sooner.

3. Do full LR timed sections. Look at the questions you miss the most often and start drilling. First do 2-3 difficulty questions than 3-4, depending on the level you are getting wrong. Sometimes it helps to go back to the basics.

4. Another tip for LR: I focused on hitting the first 15 with accuracy and then the last 10 picking and choosing which question to spend time on, this really helped me set a pattern.

5. Manhattan Prep's "reading for scale" for RC was very helpful, in that it helped me read for purpose. I didn't do much of 7sage RC, so can't compare.

6. Lastly, I tutored with ellesat, more specifically Van, and if you have the money I highly recommend her. She offers tutoring packages and even with the first 2 sessions with her, I learned a lot about how to study for this test. Although, this test is doable on your own, I just needed more guidance.

7. Use a wrong answer journal, spreadsheets are super easy to see everything and really organized.

Happy writing!

I took my first LSAT in April 2021 scoring a 150. I rewrote in November and scored a 161! Thank you 7Sage for helping me achieve this 11 point increase

my Nov score is WAY lower than the 158 I scored before

It’s definitely an anomaly….I screwed up my best section due to the last game on LG.

Should I forget it ever happened and run with the 158 from months before? Or retake in Jan? I wanted to apply this month, and I know the Jan test will have my apps on hold til Feb which is so late :( AND what if I cannot surpass 158.

Hi Guys I had a diagnostic of 143, and have been PT'ing around 144-146 recently, my biggest struggle is grouping games from logic games. I've heard the best way to learn is to teach others, so if anyone is kind enough and knowledgable, I'd love to learn logic games from you, thanks
