To increase my admissions odds after a really terrible undergraduate GPA many moons ago, I am planning on/hoping to apply as early as possible this coming cycle. But, in spite of working on the LSAT about 6 hours a day since January I'm simply not ready for the June test, which means my first test date will be August, with the possibility of a second test in October. Are any other folks in a similar boat and working with a similar timeline? And, if so, how do you plan to manage your time between working on LSAT and preparing application materials?

(I had hoped against hope that I could be close to my score goals by this June test, take the test, have a viable score in the pocket, and then, from there, maybe split my time half-half on application materials and improving the LSAT score a few points. Now that's not the case, I am trying to sort out what my new time distribution should be. I worry about accidentally hyper-focusing on the LSAT to the detriment of the application materials.)

I picked C initially but I am confused as to why and how A is the correct answer and how that information could be deduced?

I just wanted to post on here how much I love 7Sage. In early May, I took a diagnostic LSAT and got a 156. For the first couple weeks in May, I tried to study the cheap way... I used Khan Academy. While it was certainly better than not studying at all, I found Khan Academy's solutions and explanations to be very confusing and unhelpful. In particular, I found their explanations for Logic Games to be overly complicated and unintuitive. Given their system for solving LG problems, it just didn't seem possible for me to complete an entire LG section under timed conditions. After a couple of weeks with Khan Academy, I was able to score in the low 160's, but getting to 170 seemed impossible.

After going on Reddit and reading about how people who used 7Sage were able to get -0 to -2 on Logic Games, I decided to pay for a month and try it out. That was the best money I ever spent. Before I started using 7Sage, I was happy if I missed less than 8 questions in LG. After using 7Sage for only 3 weeks, I'm only missing 1 to 2 questions on LG. Last week I took a Practice test and scored a 167 (Missing only 1 question in LG). Today, I took another practice test and got a 171 (Missing 2 in LG). 7Sage's system for making gameboards on LG problems is incredibly fast and effective. LG is now my best section on the LSAT (It used to be my worst).

I take the real LSAT on Tuesday. Before signing up with 7Sage, I did not think that getting a 170 by June 15th would be possible for me. (Even still, I'm planning on taking the test again in August because I'm assuming that, come test day, I'll score in the mid 160's). But I now have the confidence I need to take the test on Tuesday. Thank you 7Sage (3.(/p)

Hey everyone! As the June LSAT is coming up these next few days, I have spent more time on this platform these past couple of weeks than I ever have expected. So I wondered if 7Sage can offer information about "time on the website" or "time dedicated" where individuals can see how many hours and days have been spent on this website. Of course, this isn't really a "useful" tool, but more so as a fun little logistic tidbit that shows an individual's dedication and maybe the time they spent, especially once they see their success on the actual exam. It could be as general as a time displayed or as detailed as time on each type of resource. I know it currently offers the time completed as percentage of CC and PT but something for the entire website, including explanation videos. Thank you.

Plan is to take my real "high-scoring test" in August and this is like a mid-way test. I saw that my PT's were hitting 162's and 163's when my goal is really above 165 this Saturday. My score splits are really annoying, I might be working too hard but recently they've kind have gone down the drain. When I was working LR sections last week the worst I was seeing was -5/-6 and a decent amount of -2/-3's but today I hit a -9 and I've had a few -7/-8s recently. What is really annoying is that I did a -5 on RC today which is good for me, usually I am around -6/-7. A few days ago I hit a 164 with a -3 on LR and a -4 on LG and a -7 on RC, I had not worked on LG for probably 2 weeks at that point and it clearly reflected, I probably should have refreshed my mind before that test. My logic games are usually around -1/-2 but I have pretty much run out of sections so I have been reusing a lot of material. Can I have some advice for this weekend, and even some advice for getting that 172+ in August?

Anybody else just really anxious about this test for some reason? I know that I studied a lot but I really want this test to be awesome and kill it. I've been meditating before I do any LSAt stuff and that does help. Anyone have any other tips for calming down or relaxing when you get nervous or anxious? It's my first time taking it so also no idea what to expect.

If I complete the writing on Sunday afternoon or Monday, will my score be delayed? I don't think I'm mentally ready to take it ahead of time but do not want my score delayed. Any advice (esp from people with experience) would be so appreciated!

Is Command F on Mac still allowed for LSAT Flex?

Apologies for the elementary question, but can someone please explain to me what needs to be done for the writing if I am taking the exam in June (this Sat.)? I understand the actual writing part (just make a competent argument), but I am confused on when I need to do this by? Does it need to be done before I sit for the exam Saturday, can I do it after, how long after? I have seen conflicting info and just am hoping for someone to provide any clarification. Thank you in advance.

I've recently started my LSAT Journey to take it if not in August then October, and I've noticed a particular issue I'm having is with Reading Comp. With reading comp, I manage to finish reading each article with a thorough understanding in about 4-5 minutes. The issue with this is after reading 4 articles each in about 5 min, there is barely anytime left for me to answer the actual questions. Do you guys have any advise on how to tackle this issue?

Could someone please explain how you got to C in S1Q14? I narrowed it down to C and E but do not fully understand why C was the better choice. Is it just because frequency was incorrectly attributed to visibility rather than headlight use? Thank you so much!

Hey guys,

So I don't know if this is stupid and I'm just confused on the issue but are the estimated stats that 7sage has on the homepage curved differently than the regular PT scores we receive? I'm talking about the bar graph that you input your amount of incorrect answers on ____ amount of recent PT's. For example, I got 21 wrong on a PT and 7Sage estimated that to be a 162 point something on the most recent 10 PT's but my actual score was a 159. Just confused about the discrepancy. Generally, I thought that I could get roughly 25 wrong to get a 160 when using their estimated predictor but is this not the case?

Thanks!

I am currently studying for the October 2021 LSAT and I'm not that far through the course. According to my study schedule, I should be studying 54 hours a week. I am a full time undergrad student and I have a job. Looking at the study schedule, it says that one LSAT Prep test takes 12 hours. I understand that that includes the BR time and reviewing answers. My question is, does it really take a full 12 hours to complete a full test and do the BR and review it completely? Does it take more or less? How many Prep tests can I realistically do in one week?

Hello!

I am terrible at distinguishing the author's tone, or opinion, or really make any inference in terms of the RC passages. Also application questions I tend to also miss. It's severely bringing down my score. If anyone has any tips on how best to tackle these questions, let me know!

Trying to debate whether to take the June test or move my test to August so time is kinda short. Thank you!

Hello,

I am stopping in to seek some advice. I am currently finishing my BA online and will have a GPA just below 3.5. Now, I am recently medically retired military with 13 years active service. I am at a crossroads of what I want to do for my career. I have been stuck on Law School for the last year or so, specifically Georgetown Law. If accepted I would be able to go to school for absolutely free due to GI/Yellow Ribbon, and I can do part time while holding a full time job. However, over the past month or so I have really been questioning if that's what I want to do. I have also considering a MBA in marketing or similar. I think the biggest deterrent from a JD was work life balance. Although salary is not my number 1 priority, it is an important factor in life. I have heard stories go both ways, people are happy, and people are disappointed. I am just seeking some advice and clarification. I am again at a crossroads and just unsure of what to do. Should I attend law school or do an MBA. Which in somonis opinion would be a good starting salary with a good work life balance? Again, I am 31 and have a family, I am willing to work hard for what I want, but I have already missed birthdays, holidays, and important things I wish I could have back.

Hi Guys,

I really struggle with sufficient assumption questions. Can someone please offer some guidance/tips/tricks on how to start understanding them and getting them correct?

Thanks in advance

Is it just me or was anyone else completely thrown off by the games in PT88 including the first game even though it's scored 1/5 and I have done well on all other in/out sequencing. What was this section???????

PT85

I just wanted to ask everyone for a little tips or advice they have for each type of questions in Reading Comp or LR. Like for necessary assumption questions we can use a little tip by using the negating technique.

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

As you may already know, the site went down yesterday, June 8th, at 3:20pm EDT and did not fully recover until 4:30pm EDT.

It was due to the introduction of a piece of third-party code into the website. That code had been working without issue on our Bar Prep site (7sage.com/mbe) for a few days. We decided to activate the same code for the LSAT site (7sage.com) but it unexpectedly swamped our database with 300x it's normal load. We noticed immediately and started trying to revert the change. However, the load on the database made it very hard to do so. We partially reverted it after about 25 minutes, and it wasn't fully reverted for another 45 minutes.

Here is a timeline of what happened:

3:20pm EDT - Site went down

3:20pm EDT - Problem is noticed and we start trying to fix it

3:45pm EDT - Changes are partially reverted on some servers and slow access is restored for some students

4:30pm EDT - Site fully restored for all students

We are so sorry for the outage! We know that preparing for the LSAT is stressful, and we hate any outage, even just for a minute, let alone for 70 minutes. Our deepest apologies.

If you have any questions, concerns, or issues please reach out to us at studentservice@7sage.com.

Hey everyone. Honestly I am just looking for some positivity right now as I go into the Flex this Saturday. This will be my second time taking the test and I cannot seem to get into a positive mindset to encourage myself. My score on the first test was much lower than I expected and I can't help to think that it will happen again so any positive reinforcement will help! You cannot take this test in a negative mindset so please help me become encouraged!

I just took the May 2020 prep test and got a 161. I am excited about this because I had not reached the160s yet and it is the most recent prep test! However, lately, I am consistently getting 11 wrong on LR. If I could just get get four or five less wrong, I would be hitting mid to upper 160's which is my target. I specifically see that I need to work on flaw, strengthen, RRE, and MSS. Any tips or strategies for these?? I am scheduled for the June test on Sunday and haven't been doing this bad in LR until recently

I'm not a native speaker and my English reading speed is only around 200 wpm. With this reading speed I need about three minutes to finish reading a passage. I heard people saying that RC typically requires the reading speed of 250 to 300 wpm. I do constantly run out of time on RC section. But JY sometimes indicates that he spends two or three minutes reading a passage. I'm wondering whether my reading speed is the major problem here. How much time do you guys typically need to finish reading a passage?

I want to write the August LSAT and currently freaked out because my diagnostic was a143. Was anyone else in the same boat but managed to turn it around? I would love to hear your stories and tips!!!

I just restarted my 7Sage subscription after not doing as well as I liked on the Nov. 2020 LSAT. Is there any way to completely restart my progress on tests and lessons so that I can go through the program from scratch again? Thanks!
