Hi - My question is whether or not it makes sense to retake the LSAT in April (if I can improve) as a potential tool for getting off of a waitlist (in addition to LOCIs)? I know nothing is guaranteed, but if it could help me get off reserve and accepted, prepping is worth it, but I don't want to do it for nothing. If anyone has any experience with retaking the LSAT as a waitlist tool or any advice, please let me know!!

I have a 163 from the October and November tests last fall. My score didn't change between tests even though it had drastically in prep - I only started 7sage after the October test. I applied with that 163 this cycle. I got waitlisted (reserve list) at Cornell, which is my first choice school. My BR pts had hit 17mid and my official lawhub practice tests well above 163. Honestly the idea of retaking it makes me nauseated, but I do confidently believe I could do better than a 163 on test day after the past few months of a break from the LSAT and applications.

Follow up question: Would the schools I have yet to hear back from see my April LSAT registration? Is there a risk they might put my application to the side as a hold for a future test this late in the game, and is best practice to email all 12 schools I haven't heard from to say don't hold, or is that unnecessary? Pretty much every single remaining application is currently under review (I applied in December), so I don't know if I should call attention to it, but I certainly don't want to delay my decisions through the end of April!

Thanks!

Hi! I'm curious to everyone's experience w/ tutors? I have been studying for about 2 months now and am plateauing at around 160, which is very frustrating for me and I'm not sure what to do. I am considering tutoring, but it is just so expensive that I'm not sure if it is worth it.

Have people seen big jumps? What do they help you do? Is there anyone specific they suggest?

Thanks!

Hey I have been attending Baileys live classes and recorded classes. she by far my fav 7sage instructor and I like how she organizes things on CODA. Does anyone have her study plan or general notes. I have been trying to find her email on 7sage and I cannot find it. I am a bit tech deficient so it is probably a me issue.

I've been having trouble staying positive/motivated when looking at my sealed vs raw scores. My highest scoring PT was from last month and was a 161 (75/104) but my most recent was a 156 (76/103). The difference in raw scores is very minor (in fact, the 156 is better?), yet a 161 and 156 feel like very different scores to me (and I assume, law schools). There is a greater trend of this happening in my analytics, but I'll spare the additional details.

I understand that which sections are scored/experimental makes a difference as well as whether is is 3LR/1RC or 2LR/2RC (I usually do better on the tests with more/3 LR sections). Is there anything I can do in terms of my studying to increase my chances at consistency/better sealed scores? And how can I stay motivated when my numbers are consistent yet my scores are dropping?

I'm registered for the April exam, aiming for at least a 160. It's hard to feel confident I can hit that when there seems to be so much variation.

Hbcu guys

lol I was inspired by a Howard grad to shoot my shot with finding some hbcu guys to get into this test with. I graduated from NCAT and I have a few people to study with already but I would absolutely love more hbcu people in general. HMU 🫡

Hey all,

I was thinking of writing a gpa addendum. My gpa isn’t low at all, but it is below medians for my dream schools. The thing is, I do have a concrete reason why my gpa is lower (disability). I fear it will look weird to have an addendum with my gpa, but I’ve also heard that if you have a clear reason, you should mention it. Thoughts?

Blind Review

I came across this feature once and now I can't remember where or how. How can I switch the BR from circling my wrong questions and random questions to only recommending the questions I got wrong?

Regret

I honestly wouldn't recommend this course, I began with an 145, I am about to take a prep test and I know for a fact that the instructors have confused me more than help me, just tell me why and which answer is correct not make me think why the other answers might be correct is annoying, I hightly regret taking this course

Hi!!

I'm looking for study/accountability buddies in CA. I want to do it virtually, because I don't have a car and can't meet in person.

I took my LSAT already in February and got my scores back and...well...I'm retaking the test. I figure that maybe having a group this time might help. So I am looking for both folks that have taken the test and are planning to re-test and I'm also opening it up to people who haven't taken it yet too.

Best,

Sabina :)

I'm currently averaging -3/-5 on RC sections, doesn't matter if it's a section or full PT. When I BR, -1/-0. I'm taking the April LSAT and I'm hoping to clean my RC up within the next month. Does anyone have tips as to how I can improve my accuracy under timed conditions? Maybe I just need to get more reps in, I'm not sure. Usually I end with 1 Q wrong per passage and they tend to be one of the earlier questions per passage. Any help appreciated thanks.

LSAC Strategy Booster

Has anyone used the offical LSAC strategy booster or found it helpful. I received an email about it for signing up for the April LSAT. Does anyone have any tips for using it and/could there be a class on it?

Hey, I know that reviewing mistakes and understanding where I went wrong is important. Sometimes I am able to have that aha moment and other times not- does anyone have advice (other than blind review)

🙃 Confused

Feeling lost on the drill feature

Hi all! I just started the course, and I was looking through the study plan to see where and when we should use the drill feature, but I don't see anything. When should we start using the drill feature? Would it make sense to go through the basics of different LR and RC questions, then start using them?

NYC TUTORING

Hi Everyone!

I've been practicing for the LSAT for a bit over a year now and have been stuck in the 160s. I need help getting to that 170+ mark which though at times I feel defeated I know it's within my reach. I'm open to tutoring or really any advice on what I can do? In the spirit of being honest I know that consistency is an issue and is something that I think having the accountability of tutoring will help with.

If anyone knows of or is an amazing, Affordable tutor in the Manhattan or Brooklyn region please reply.

Thank you!

Video Explanations

Hi I have been doing drills & reading the questions explanations but wanted to check out the videos. Everyone I look it just had a button that says J.Y.’s version but no video ever populates. I thought it was because I have the core package but I believe the videos are included. I have tried switching from Chrome to the app but I can never see the videos. Needing some help on what I am doing wrong😭.

Study Group For June Test

I’m looking for someone or people who’s interested in creating a study group. I’m trying to approach the LSAT differently from when I took the test November and I didn’t reach my goal.

I’m located in DFW, in person is great but virtual is also fine. My goal is high 160s if anyone has any pointers.

Hello 7Sage Community,

I am a first-gen, Salvadoran American UC Berkeley graduate and Questbridge Scholar currently preparing for the LSAT full-time. I qualify for the LSAC fee waiver and am navigating the admissions process while supporting my mother.

My goal is a JD/PhD in Public Policy to eventually work with the World Bank on poverty alleviation. I have a 3.3 CAS GPA and a 3.5 MBA GPA, and I am highly motivated to bridge the gap to a high LSAT score.

What I’m looking for:

  • A study group that meets regularly via Zoom/Discord.

  • Occasional peer-to-peer tutoring or mentorship

I am a dedicated student and a collaborative partner. If you have a spot in your group or are a high-scorer looking to give back, please message me. Thank you for your time, and best of luck to everyone!

Study Schedule?

Hi everyone! I’m curious how many hours you all study per day and what your weekly study schedules look like. I’m trying to structure my own plan as effectively as possible. For context, I’m currently not in school or working, so I’m able to study full-time.

Skipping BR on Accident

I keep accidentally skipping blind review and not being able to go back (which I fully acknowledge is 100% user error). Could there be a secondary pop-up or something when you hit "skip to results" that checks if you are sure before you accidentally skip BR forever?

Confirm action

Are you sure?
