I was wondering if anyone knows whether we can take US tests even if we are physically located in other regions with different time zones? My initial thought would be: as long as we can match the time zone of the online proctor, there shouldn't be any issue?

Also, is there any difference in the test itself among different regions?

Appreciate it if anyone can input on this. Thanks!

****hope to get a small group of around 5 people that want to mainly prioritize LR and just hold each other accountable for studying !! current PT around 159

help can anyone explain to me why B is correct? Isn't B strengthening the argument?

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

I have come to a conclusion that with the test of LSAT, it is not about the content of writing but rather knowing the techniques of how to solve each question as fast as possible with minimal error. Could experts in this forum please elaborate more on some techniques that we could possibly learn?

help why is the correct AC correct????

Hello all!

Just curious about everyones experience with diagnostic, studying timeline, practice test average, and LSAT score. Also curious what it took you to get to that final score (or to where you are ready to take LSAT and have had consistent average).

Background: I am 32, a stay at home mom to a 1 year old and have just started my LSAT journey after postponing for so long. My study schedule is 5 am wakings to get in 1-2 hours before baby is up and I usually study during his naps, so I average around 2-4 hours per day (if I am lucky!). Weekends are all over, with mostly taking one day off to do everything else I need to do. I started 7sage in September of 2021, but only realistically started in February (life kept getting in the way). I am still working through the course, which is obviously not going as fast as I would like and was hoping I would be done for now.

How long, how often did you study before you took the leap and took the test? Where/when did you see the biggest improvement?

I missed the March PowerScore Crystal Ball and on the recent LSAT podcast they said the predictions might be helpful for April as well. Please comment if you have any tips or suggestions noted down from the Crystal Ball!

As this cycle draws to a close, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with my outcomes. I applied right before the deadline, so I am wondering if applying this coming cycle as soon as applications open would make a substantial difference. According to 7Sage's admissions calculator, my chances nearly double with an October submission versus a March one.

While I am happy with my two A's, I can't shake the feeling that another shot at the application process would yield better outcomes. My two A's were my top safety's, but I do feel like my stats could take me a little further under the right circumstances. I'm also considering retaking the LSAT to get one or two extra points. I'm curious to hear what others would do in my situation.

Stats: 169, 3.7(High) from top 10 school + STEM Major, 4 years WE, T3 softs

A's: UC Irvine ($$$), ASU ($$)

WL's: USC, UNC, Fordham, UT, Vanderbilt

R's: Penn, NYU, Berkeley, UCLA, Columbia (technically a hold, but preparing for an R)

Top choices: UCLA + Berkeley (I'm from CA originally and interested in pursuing a career in environmental law).

At this point, if I got off the Wl at USC, UT, or Vanderbilt, I'd go, but I am not sure how likely that is. I'm crossing my fingers, but want to come up with a plan B.

Hoping to form a study group for both the June and August exams! Goal is 170+ and I am currently scoring mid-160. Available EST nights and all day weekends! Drop a comment if you are interested and I will reach out :)

Hey everyone!

7Sage tutor Soni here - in this week's LSAT Digest, I discuss the importance of making the LSAT material digestible and how you can do this in your own study: https://7sage.substack.com/p/lsat-tips-make-the-material-digestible

If you could use some help on the way to your goal score and want to work with one of our LSAT tutors, use this link to learn more: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-tutoring/

If you'd like to talk to one of our tutors before committing to a plan, schedule a free consultation at this link: https://calendly.com/7sage-consult/7sage-tutoring-free-consult

I just accidentally revealed the results prematurely, and while I'm pretty pleased with my score, there's plenty left to improve. Is there a way to keep the original test results and only reset the BR? If not, I'll just use a hard copy of PT 36 for my BR, but I will miss the insights gained from doing it here on 7Sage.

Thanks :)

Just started to study again for the LSAT, I have not written it before but I intend to write this September/October. If you are interested in creating a group where we can select a few dates to study together besides individually, let me know!

After a lengthy study journey for the LSAT and applying for two cycles, I finally got acceptances and scholarships from three high-ranked law schools and picked one based on my needs. I cannot thank 7Sage enough for my LSAT study and for the helpful posts on the admission process. The best way to show my gratitude to the study community on 7Sage is by offering some free one-on-one tutoring sessions to students in need.

My LSAT score is 169. But I got that score from a no-sleep night before the test day, and three internet crushes on the test day. With that said, my practice PTs' average is 173. My strongest suit is the LG. I usually finished section 0/-1 with 3-5 minutes left on my clock. I feel confident about LR too. I can do a medium-difficult section -1 to -3 with 1 /2 minutes left. I struggled with the reading section, but I improved my performance from -10 to -3/-5 and finished all passages on time.

Feel free to PM or leave a comment below if you have any questions about studying for the LSAT or applying to law schools. I'd love to share my experience and opinion.

Taking the LSAT in June, Currently PTing mid to high 160's looking for some one or group to help with the last push and bounce questions off one another. Please reach out if you're interested!

Hello everyone!

First time LSAT taker here. Taking the April LSAT on Friday morning. My RC and LR scores are reasonable enough, but I’m getting killed on LGs, mostly due to timing with constructing diagrams. Pretty last minute…but does anyone have any suggestions for the best method to fix this? What’s the best resource to utilize for strictly LGs? I’ve been focusing on practice LSATs and volume of questions…is this efficient? Thank you!

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you for your help!]

Are there any tricks to identify main conclusion in an argument other than the indicators?

Hi,

My name is Genesis, I live in the LA area and I am looking for anyone who is willing to study together virtually. I have been studying sporadically and need more structure/support. I also find that the gratification in this study process is incredibly low, which affects my motivation.

Hoping to meet during these times, I am a morning person. I don't know for how long, and I don't expect this to be absolutely every single week/everyday I know we all have our own lives going on. I think I just need a space/community to be apart of! I hope to do the same. Make friends and maybe even get into law school together!

Check-in days/talk about how its going plans for the week/day

Monday- Friday: 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM and/or maybe? 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM

study sesh #1

Saturday: 7:00 AM to 10 AM

study sesh #2

Sunday: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

I am looking to score anything higher than 170 and I am currently barely hitting 160. I plan on applying this September. But I want to keep my test dates open, and go more on how I am performing/feeling/confidence..,etc

Warmly,

Gen

I'm registered for the June 2022 exam but I want to delay it to August/Sept but it doesn't have the option for me to to change dates? Does anyone know why is it that we can't see or choose later dates?

Taking test for the second time this week, curious if anyone attempts to apply this late for this cycle? I am planning on applying for 2023, but just curious as I have heard that people do indeed apply this late and get lucky.

Hi guys,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm looking for a single study buddy/accountability partner. I work full time, PST, I'm looking for a study buddy in the same time zone, with somewhat of a similar work/study schedule.

I am scoring in the mid to high 60's. Will be happy with a high 60, but the target is 70+.

Will be taking the exam in August.

DM me if you're interested.

Hey 7Sagers,

A new single mother here of a 6-month old baby girl in my early 30s. I've been working in the legal field as long as I've been avoiding this test lol! So, after putting off the LSAT for a decade for grad school, work, and marriage, I'm finally back into the LSAT game and really want to complete my journey with the LSAT. My LORs, transcripts, and everything is in but the LSAT! I really want to get into law school and want to inspire my little girl. Any words of advice for motivation would be greatly appreciated! Any other mommas out there who kept continuing their journey? It's really hard to study with a little one, but she gives me so much strength to finally face this exam again. My strongest section is LG, just got The Loophole to read for LR, and just a confession--I get discouraged by the RC section because although I have a MA in English, I hate the RC passages on another level lol! It's been really hard to improve in this section the most. But nonetheless, I'm ready to finally get this test out of the way to start my law school journey and am looking forward to reading your tips! My target is 165+ and wish to take the Oct 2022 exam. Thanks! :)

Hi all!

I hope you're doing well! Disclaimer: this will be a longer post, but I have a TL;DR at the end.

I'm planning on taking the October 14th, 2022 LSAT (and most likely the November 11th, 2022 LSAT as well). I am also aiming to have submitted my law school applications by September 30th, 2022.

With that in mind, I am looking to form a virtual study group that would serve the following purposes:

a) prepping for the test and studying together;

b) creating a space where we can be held accountable for our study time (since I personally have been having a hard time staying on track);

c) providing peer support throughout the application process (ideally, but not required to join!); and,

d) perhaps making a few friends along the way!

Just a few notes before I get into the details:

a) This group is open to everyone, regardless of where you are in your LSAT prep journey and/or your score goals. Put simply, it will be a kind, supportive, and inclusive space for anyone that wishes to join.

b) Everyone has different schedules and so there is no need to commit to studying with the group every day/for the entire duration of the study sessions to be a part of this group.

c) To keep this a judgement-free and safe space, practice test scores and score goals will be kept private from one another, especially since again, we may all be at different places in our prep journey.

d) This will be a virtual study group and we will meet via Zoom/Microsoft Teams (depending on our preference). A proposed study plan/schedule is as follows:

Proposed study plan:

a) Monday to Friday: Silent study arrangement where we can individually go through our own LSAT prep, with the exception of 5 minutes at the beginning and end to settle in and wind down, as well as a break in the middle. We can also decide as a group if we would like to set aside some time (~15-20 minutes) sometime during the week to go over difficult concepts and questions we are reviewing.

b) Saturday: Practice test day! Again, we can decide as a group how we could like to set this up (ideally I'd like to stimulate an actual proctored test), and we can also interchange PTs with drilling and/or other exercises and activities.

c) Sunday: Open discussion and blind review. Sundays will be dedicated to blind review, as well as for the group to discuss and go over any problems, questions, or breakthroughs from the week.

Proposed study schedule (all times in EST):

a) Monday to Friday: 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM; 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM.

b) Saturday: 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM.

c) Sunday: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Again, the proposed study plan/schedule is just that: proposed. This can always be adjusted to better meet the needs of group members and to be more accommodating.

If you are interested, please comment down below or send me a message and I will send you a call/chat invite. I'd hope to have an informal call before we get straight to studying to meet and get to know one another (date TBD). As a quick reminder, however, please don't post any personal information (i.e., phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles, etc.) in the comments.

Thank you so much for reading my post and I'm looking forward to hopefully studying with some of you!

TL;DR - proposing a virtual study group for the October and November LSAT test dates, with a tentative schedule and plan detailed above.

I started 7 Sage back in September of 2021 and it has been interesting to say the least. I decided to take on the course curriculum full time. I have followed and finished the core curriculum full time since September 2021 and am EXTREMELY dissatisfied. How can 7 sage possibly justify only a 12 point increase (136 to a 149) in 7 months of full time practice? In fact, in the past two months I have actually gone down 1 point and literally can't beat my best from two months ago. I put my trust in them and all I hear back is robotic responses. "Study harder", "Try our this and that at $$$$ amount", "Trust the process", "Blind Review". I understand that people learn at their own pace but there is a difference between difficulty of a subject and a complete diminish in return. I have come to the realization that 7 sage will keep me swimming in circles by repeating the same instruction that got me there in the first place. I train just as hard if not harder than many 170+ scorers and my time stamps show it. Unfortunately, I don't have a white picket fence life that allows me to write a check to 7 sage for $3,000 for for the best instruction tailored to me.

Hello everyone, I know this might be rare, but does anyone in UK currently prepare for lsat and want to have a study buddy/study group? I am about to take lsat on August and October respectively this year, and it will be cool if someone can study together :) either online or offline (I will be in london this summer and study part time, but we can adjust the schedule later.

Hello, I quit my job in October and have been studying full time since for the June LSAT, however I was not at all consistent at first and am barely finishing up the core curriculum soon and do not feel like I will be ready for June so I am thinking of taking the August LSAT instead. However, applications begin a month after which leaves little time to prepare my personal statement and letters of rec from professors. Is it likely to hurt my chances if I don't apply within the month applications open this cycle? My undergrad GPA is not good so I am really relying on my LSAT score to get into schools (aiming for 168+, first pt at 155).

Would anyone recommend taking the June LSAT anyways just so I can see where I am at and know how to prepare for August?
