I took the June test and got a 153 but I was getting155-161 on all PT's. I think it had to have been nerves as I couldn't remember anything after I took the test?? So I am obviously retaking in August. Is a 160 - 164 too high to shoot for?

Serious Study Group for August/ October 2021 test takers who are testing at 170+ and aiming for 175+
Hello,
I'm looking to form a group of people who are currently scoring in the low 170s and looking to score in the high 170s. We would meet for several hours at the weekend to do blind review of a previously agreed upon practice test. I'd also be open to organizing break-out sessions and/or workshops for question types within the group and/or exploring other methods of group study.
I'm looking for people who can commit to attending most of the sessions and really want to dive into to the nitty gritty to grab those last few points.
About me:
I am in Central Time. Strongest section is RC and weakest LG.I scored a 171 on the June Flex which was my first take.
If you are interested, please message me or comment below.
Thanks!!!
I took many of the PTs on LSAC LawHub prior to purchasing 7sage. Is there any way I could transfer the data from those tests so analytics can be created without me having to retake the tests on this platform? Thanks in advance
Hi all,
So on the June LSAT page, I can obviously see my score, percentile, etc. But further down under "LSAT Documents," all of my documents have the icon for "not yet available." Which is a bit weird especially for the writing sample, since I can see it on the other page but not under this one. I'm also just interested to see the IRR and how I did on the test.
Can anyone actually see documents, or are you also still waiting?
Thanks.

So, I've chosen B, both under timed conditions and blind review. Below is my reasoning:
B: If I am more willing to sacrifice consistency than to sacrifice flavor, I am more willing to refrain from buying stabilizers and keeping temperatures low (therefore energy costs up), thereby saving costs. Therefore, cost considerations indeed favor sacrificing consistency over sacrificing flavor.
Why is B wrong?
Moreover, I am not fully convinced that E is correct. It's clear that stable temperatures (no matter whether they are very low or not, stable means to me that there are no temperature changes which adversely affect the consistency) allow for the best possible consistency. But how do we know that very low, stable temperatures allow for the best possible flavour? We are not told anything about the relation between flavour and temperature (it could be the case that lower temperatures have adverse effects on flavour).
Maybe I'm overthinking it with E though, the process of written expression of my thoughts actually almost convinced me that E sounds logical. The question I'm concerned the most with is why B is wrong.
November 2020 LSAT I got a 145 I quit work and studiying full time with max units at university April LSAT I got a 157 I went harder never lost sight and in June 2021 YA mans got a 166 NEVER GIVE TF UP if I can do it anyone can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi. My "dream" target schools are UT Austin and Northwestern. I have a 171 LSAT (75% for both) and 3.76 GPA (at or below the medians). Would you anticipate chances of admission (and especially scholarship availability) would be substantially different if I could tack 1-3 points on that score given it's already in the top 25% range?
I have taken the test 3 times. Would a lower score 4th attempt be a bad look? Having a hard time deciding whether to retake.
Hi Everyone,
I will be retaking the test in (mid) August and will be studying insanely hard for the month of July and beginning of August. I unfortunately discovered 7Sage late in my studies before taking the June LSAT, so I only had this forum for about a month or two. But it helped me raise my score 5 points in that time.... so I am going to continue using it of course. But are there any other books you would recommend to push me over into the 160s? My goal is a 163 but of course I will do everything in my power to get higher. I know I have it in me since I scored a 162 on one of my PTs.
I have already used Kaplan's books (bleh..they suck) and the LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim (amazing). I have heard great things about the Power Score Bibles. Are they really all that? I want to make sure what I purchase is worth it since I only have a little over a month. Thank you.
I got a 139. After months and months of trying to study and listening to podcasts of people getting astronomical scores, I got a 139. I think its clear that I will not be going to law school. I'm at my wit's end right now and have never felt so defeated in my life. I'm currently on vacation and will reassess whether to not I will continue with this far fetched idea or just f**ing quit now.
help Did 7sage just update the law school predictor? Like in the last 2 days? I swear UVA's average LSAT score went up since the last I looked on Tuesday.
Hi all,
I scored a 166 on the June 2021 LSAT Flex, which was my PT average heading into the test (I scored into the 170s a couple of times). I am generally aware of my two weaknesses, which I've outlined below, but would love some feedback on how helpful a tutor would be.
Any thoughts on if a tutor could be helpful at this point? Would they be able to reveal anything else about my performance? Or should I just trudge through and work on these two weak areas?
Thanks!
STEM major in one of the top tech institutions but no CAS GPA before December (haven't reached 60 credit hours). Cumulative GPA is 4.2 out of 4.3. Not a US citizen.
This is my second take. First one was in April, 174. PT-ing 175-180, average 178 ish.
My mom is so upset, I can't even believe it. help
Edit: I'm sorry if this post makes anyone unhappy. I know I should be satisfied with a 174 or 176. And I am. Family pressure for absolute perfection is another story, though. My mom is literally asking me to forget about law school. Go to work as a software engineer, she says. I am so sad.
I just did the Weaken problem sets and got a lot of them wrong. I feel extremely let down and I am not really sure how to approach the questions that I get wrong. I watch the explanations but I don't seem to internalize the information that JY is saying when I do the next questions. Do any of you have any suggestions?
Hello hello,
I am coming on to say that my LSAT journey has seemingly come to a close after receiving my June flex score! I am proud of how far I have come and so ready for the steps ahead. The point of this post, though, is not to rejoice in my journey but thank all of those who made it possible for me. I literally do not think I could have accomplished what I did without 7Sage- JY (of course!), the other instructors, and the whole community. To all my fellow 7Sagers- you guys were some of my most important cheerleaders and people I looked to for advice. The forums on here are truly amazing, and I loved being able to interact with everyone in such a seamless fashion. Even if only one person sees this who is beginning their journey on 7Sage, I will be happy. May it be a sentiment and hopefully motivation to those who need it. To everyone not done yet- keep going. You truly can accomplish anything you set your mind to. I've heard so many people say this and never really took it to heart. Trust me, it's true and you'll get there. It's good to push yourself and realize that goals should require continuous dedication. And to those who have completed this journey alongside of me- CONGRATS. This is such an exciting time, may the future be bright for all.
I keep hearing how LSAT medians are rising for many schools/the application cycle is more competitive than ever before, & that we should expect a rise in medians by 1+ points... is this accurate? and do you know where I can find up-to-date LSAT medians (or anything that'll help me understand what schools I have a chance of getting into for the 2022 cycle)? Can I rely on 2020 data that schools are keeping on their websites? Any advice is greatly appreciated :)
I recently got my June flex score back and I scored a 170 (first take). My gpa is 4.0 from a big public university and I have average to below average softs. I was pting in the upper 160s with a personal best of 173. Will apply in August, and Im KJD.
Should I retake in August?
Hi everyone,
I have took the LSAT twice, the first time scored 154, and the second time 155. My usually practice scores average at the low 160 range and I have used up almost all test prepping materials. I've been doing blind review and have studied for almost a year. I need your help, guidance, and suggestions on how I should prepping for the August LSAT and maybe thoughts on whether I should switch to GRE instead. Thank you.
Hello,
I'm looking for some advice from some fellow 7sagers. I Started in January and was looking for a target score of 165, which is exactly what I got on this June test. However, in my past 10 Pts I've scored 160,169,170,169,170,166,171,165,164 (test was here) 2 week break and finally a 172. I am 100% retaking the test but I am not sure as to whether I should be cancelling or keeping my score. My target law school is Osgood (Canadian law school, I'm from Canada) and my CGPA will 100% be 3.5 or 3.6 (0.1/0.2 below what they require). I know I will be a splitter applicant, Any advice is welcomed, thank you.
I got 149 for June flex test, I have a Master degree. Am I able to get accepted to a Tier 3 or 4 Law school ?
It is doable. I am not done yet because I would like a 160. But if I can do it as a mother of 2, working full time as a litigation paralegal and gain 17 points then you can too! Don't give up! Also a very special thank you to my tutor! I couldn't have done this without her! (I hope she sees this post)
Hi everyone,
While I've seen some people state their frustrations with scoring in the 165+ range because they wanted higher scores, I wanted to make a post for those who are proud of their accomplishments to date and getting scores that are reflective of where they want to be. No shame or disrespect to those wanting to achieve whatever perfection they are aiming for, but proud to support others who are doing their best all the same. Especially for those older in the group (30-year-old here!), the single parents or single-income households navigating full or part-time work.
This isn't the end of my LSAT journey (one more attempt will be made in October) but I wanted to give a huge shout out to those who consistently support and provide feedback in the lessons and discussion forums. Keep working hard, be proud of your accomplishments (because no one knows what this test is like unless they've sat through this process), and trust the process!
I can understand how ACs A-D are incorrect. I am truly struggling to see how E is correct.
My contention here is that even if a greater proportion of crimes are reported in recent years, those independent surveys would still include all of the non-reported and reported victims. Therefore, there is no way to make the argument that these two things could be viewed separately. The video explanation really did not clear this up for me. Can someone possibly explain how to understand this more clearly?

I'm an International student (South Asian) applying to Law schools in the US. Do I qualify as a URM? also how much of a boost can I expect being a URM?
I live in Toronto, Canada and just recently got a full-time permanent job. I have been preparing for my LSAT for over 3 years now since I was in grad school full-time and working full-time. I am hoping to write my LSAT in August and apply for Law School. But I am getting worried and anxious just thinking about if I get into Law School in 2022 is this the right time to let go of a good full time job when the economy is doing bad due to the pandemic? The fear of struggling to find another job or the uncertainties of pursuing law school is making me lose my focus and motivation.
I also worry that pursuing a new career at this age maybe too late now as I could be competing against a lot younger people and will not have same energy/ patience to start all over again.
Anyone else in the same boat as me or have any advise? Thanks!
I'm hoping someone can help me on where to begin with retaking. I just took the June LSAT and scored a 151. Obviously not horrible, but also not where I was wanting, since I was at least PT-ing around 155-158 in the weeks leading up to my test date. I do feel like I had some external factors that didn't help (mental health, burnout from school, winter storm) and I didn't study for as long as I would have liked, nor did I take every PT available to me. I know some people feel as if they can't really improve from their first test, but since it is so "low" I'm really hoping that I can. For anyone who is also planning a retake, or has successfully retaken the LSAT, I would really appreciate any advice. I'm not looking to be in the 160's or 170's; I am very happy with the high 150's, since that's all I really need for where I want to go to school. Is this realistic? Smart? I'd appreciate any help or encouragement!
