Hi everyone,

I am interested in applying this cycle (Fall 2022) but not sure if it's too late already to do so? I am just getting started with studying for the LSAT. I work full time (40+ hours a week), and really have free time to study on weekends (Fridays included). Do you think I can still make the cut? Or should I just take my time and plan for next cycle? If you think this cycle is still realistically feasible - when would you recommend I take my LSAT(s)? I think November might be too close.

Thank you for any advice!

I'm curious -- for those who have already taken the virtual LSAT -- what device did you use? (i.e., 13" Macbook, 16" Macbook) I have been using a 27" Mac desktop but I'll be taking the LSAT from a hotel and am not sure bringing the desktop will be practical (although it's a possibility).

My laptop is seriously outdated so I'll need to purchase another but I'm kind of freaking out about screen size?

If anyone can help, please reply to this thread with your device and what you liked/disliked about your LSAT experience!

Hi everyone,

After poring over more than two hundred applications, we're proud to announce the winner and runners up of the 7Sage 7K scholarship. Every single applicant was deserving, but the seven ten we chose moved us deeply. We think the world will be a better place when they earn their law degrees.

The winner of the 7Sage 7K scholarship is Reo Hayashizaki. (Reo preferred that we use her full name instead of her username.)

The runners up (who preferred that we use their user names) are LexieLSAT, lady stardustt, Pomegranate, lmedr001, chipotlelover888, FJ15, jtweedle, lalvarez16, and one student who wished to remain completely anonymous.

Altogether, we are awarding $8,000, ten LSAT prep packages, and ten admissions consulting or editing packages. The students who had already purchased 7Sage packages received refunds.

To everyone who didn't win: thank you so much for your applications. We know this was a lot of work in a cruddy time, and we found the choice excruciating. All of you, without exception, will bring something unique and important to the legal profession. You rock.

We'll open applications for the 2021 7Sage 7k scholarship on August 1, and we encourage you to apply!

Hi ... I need more practice with labeling. Where can I get more problem since I have gone thru the 4 problem sets.

October test is 2 weeks away! Just wanted to say you're doing great. You got this. We've studied more than we maybe even thought possible. Keep pushing through these next couple weeks. If you're anything like me, you might be just a bit tired (turns out, working full-time and studying is not the most relaxing combo anyone ever created). Keep getting your reps in for the subjects you need to practice. We've got the knowledge. We've got the repetitions. Excited to see the payoff. If you have any encouraging words for your fellow October test takers, post them below!

I come from a poor household and have been completely self-sufficient throughout college. All of my work experience is important to me. But how do law schools feel about this? I have worked at a number of jobs of all types because that was necessary. I think each of these jobs also conveys something about me that is significant. Harvard's sample resumes, for example, typically only list 1-4 jobs. Other schools also ask to include only "significant" work experience.

Looking to apply in the next 2 weeks, any help is duly appreciated. I am a first gen student with not much guidance. :)

I am curious to learn what everyone else is doing to prepare themselves for the exam. Are you focusing on taking the most recent PTs and blind reviewing?

For those of you who have taken the test before, do you have any recommendations to really get in the exam mode?

I'm having trouble with these type of logical translation and mapping questions - could someone map out the conditional logic of the stimulus and how the AC fits as the NA?

Hello all,

I am extremely frustrated with the education system. So, I am dyslexic (something that never goes away) and I wanted to apply for accommodation or modifications. I got all my paperwork together from public school records, when I got tested, the results, etc. LSAT said that I needed more and had to get retested in the lsat 5 years to see if “I was still dyslexic” Well… the test is $1,300+ and I can’t afford that.

I wanted to get your opinion. On my diversity statement I am explaining my dyslexia journey a bit. I wanted to add a short sentence pretty much saying, “Unfortunately, due to financial reasons I was not able to retest for dyslexia and got denied Accommodations for the LSAT” Because if I only say I am dyslexic, they’ll assume I did get Accommodations. Since,LSAC doesn’t release this info to law schools due to privacy for students with learning disabilities.

wanted to let anyone know that might've forgotten

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before.

LR is my weakest section and I'm looking to compile LR questions I've got wrong on past PTs.

I know I can see all the questions I got wrong on PTs from the Analytics tool, but is there a way to put them into a problem set so I don't see the answer while I'm reviewing them?

Hey everyone, I am new to 7sage. I briefly used it a while ago but I have been using a different platform, I had purchased a package and I have been studying for 4 months with that platform but I have not seen any significant improvement. I have seen improvement in my BR score to 160 but my timed tests remain in the 150s and I actually went down one point. I am inclined to stop using that other program and use 7sage instead given all the great testimonies and conversations I'm seeing here. My question is would this be more harmful for me to switch platforms when I've already started studying with that other program or should I switch if I am not seeing results? I'm not sure where to go from here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have not taken any official LSATs and my goal would be to get to the 170s.

For the SA and PSA questions, I'm getting absolutely destroyed on the tougher ones. I think it is because I am not identifying the stimulus fast enough and missing the small details that get overlooked. Should I just map it out and understand how to piece together the stimulus first and take my time to decipher it and then answer the question, or should I be just mapping it out in my head and getting better with doing it that way? Anyone got any good strategies they can share? Thank you so much.

Hi everyone!

Thank you for reaching out after my last post, it was incredibly helpful! I was wondering if anyone had advice for how to become more fluent in logic? I feel like I'm spending a lot of time thinking it over instead of it being natural. Did flashcards help anyone? Or was it more just heavy repetition of logical reasoning and then intense blind review? Thank you!

Hi guys. I have been hesitant to post my story because I am always super hard on myself and didn't wanna share this but I thought it could be beneficial. I started my LSAT journey 7 months ago, but struggle with severe test anxiety and just general confidence issues. I had been PT-ing in the 160s prior to my August LSAT, but took August and got the lowest score I've ever gotten, even lower than my diagnostic. I had a panic attack during logic games and kind of lost it all. Today, I am preparing for October and I have gotten PT's of 168,169,166,170,171. I write all of this to let you guys know that it is possible, even if you don't think it is. You just have to keep going. Even now, I hesitant to post this because my brain is like, "Will I replicate this for October?" But if anyone needs a push to keep going, you can. My PTs are already 10 points higher than my August score and it's only been a couple weeks. You have it in you, just believe you do!

Just thought I'd let you guys know that registration for time slots for the October LSAT is now open through your ProctorU account! Good luck!

Hello!!

I’m trying to sign up for my Proctor U account but it’s asking for an institution. My university is not listed in the universities that you get to pick from, and it’s a required area to sign up. I’m not sure what to do, if anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

I've browsed through some discussion forums on this passage, but wanted to see if my overall conditional logic thinking was correct. #help

Stim: Fear of retaliation --> deterrence

A) deterrence --> fear of retaliation (switches the logic)

B ) /fear --> deterrence (which also just makes no common sense)

C) deterrence --> fear of retaliation

D) I couldn't figure out a rough logic translation but the overall thought process tracked with that in the stimulus

E) deterrence --> need the best retaliation (which is just irrelevant)

I know this is a very basic necessary/sufficient question but could someone validate the way I diagramed the logic?

Stim:

Professor: both O parents --> only O child

Student: not [both O parents --> only O child], but the student switched the professor's statement around to mean [only O child --> both O parents]. So given his logic, /both O parents --> /only O child (since he's Type B).

ACs:

A) only O child --> both O parents

B) both O parents --> /type B child

C) both B parents --> only O children

D) irrelevant

E) both B parents --> type B children

Hi,

When I did this question, I got stuck between B and D, even after I used the negation technique for assumption questions. Why exactly is D here wrong?

For context, I thought D could be an answer too because when voters are paying enough attention to make informed decisions, then they don't need the press to cover substantial policy issues for them, and thus then they don't need the campaign advisors to stay out of the limelight.

Hey all! I'm just looking for a bit of advice for my situation.

I'm a Canadian applicant (Ontario) and my applications will be due November 1st, but I can take the LSAT up until January 2022.

I am going into my third cycle of applications, and while my situation is different this time around I can't help but feel like I shouldn't apply this year since I don't have the score I need on file - I'm registered for November's test.

Both previous cycles that I applied for were a rush for me, I hadn't even broken a 160 and that was the score I needed, I was clearly applying very prematurely lol. This time around - my latest PT was a 165 and I'm working with a tutor, so the way I've approached the exam is very different.

Anyways, I told myself that if I'm applying this year I need to reconnect with my professors by October 1st so that they have sufficient time to re-upload their LOR's but I am realizing and panicking now because that's next week lol.

I guess what I'm getting at is - I feel like I'm doing the same thing over again which has only ever resulted in failure. While my capabilities and score is much different this time around, I still have anxieties about applying without a score. When I'm weighing my options though, it doesn't seem worth it to take another entire year off when I am scoring above my goal?

Just looking for anyone else who may have helpful advice to offer!

Just a heads up if you planned on taking the 3 shiny new PTs on law hub. PT 90+ is the same test as PT May 2020, just with an added section to simulate the new 4 section LSAT form. If you've already taken the May 2020 PT, don't also take PT 90+ if you're looking for new content.

Hi Everyone!

I was wondering if anyone could share a rough estimate of their score progressions from the first diagnostic to maybe 2 months after the fact? I was a pretty meh student throughout college so I assumed my LSAT diagnostic would be low off the bat, but it ended up being a 156! I was so excited! That was 17 days ago. Since then I've done 8 more practice tests ( I know that's kind of insane, but I make sure to check my mistakes after and figure out why I got them wrong) and the scores were 154, 155, 156, 159, 155, 153, 159, 154, and 159. I'm happy that my initial score was a decent indicator of where I am at and not a fluke, but I'm so excited to see improvement! I feel like I am able to understand the material but sometimes it is hard for me to access the understanding quickly and under pressure. I'm new to the LSAT so I don't know if this is normal, but I have put in roughly 100 hours over the past 5 weeks so I'm just kinda bummed it hasn't gone up more. It seems like I am still in that "band" of 156. Thanks everyone! And like I said I am super new to the LSAT as well as intense studying (got my first ever headache from too much studying this week) so please feel free to share anything that might help.

Hello Guys

As you see, I am looking for a study peer who can be committed to preparing for LSAT Nov in logic games, and I am willing to PAY for him/her towards working together. If you are scoring 160 and above and interested, please message me in private.
