Hi everyone,

I have formal academic accommodations with my college for time and a half on exams. I have not had them before this and did not use them on the ACT or any previous standardized test. I’m about to take my first prep test and I know the lsat does time and a half accommodations. Should I attempt it with these or without? I have all necessary documentation to be approved for the exams but I guess I’m just not sure if it’s better to err that I won’t get them since I have heard they are very very strict even with documentation.

Thanks for your help!

This is so bitter sweet to post because I had been utilizing 7sage since 2019ish. I saw a lot of these type of discussions and always wondered when it was going to be my turn. This law school journey has not been the easiest and the LSAT makes it even harder. I took the exam 3 times and this was my second time (reapplicant) around applying to law school. From the forum on here to the resources , 7sage has been a tremendous help in my journey. The community here is great especially for someone who’s a first generation law student and really didn’t know how to navigate this type of graduate school. I went from a 135 diagnostic to 157 (I am not a splitter with my GPA) on my last take in 2021. I also took the test in 2018 and 2019 jumping about 8-10 points up each time. I had hopes of going to a T14 law school with a score above 160 lol (it was a priority to me because I am a non-trad and this is my second career-10 years post grad) but I was ok with whatever school said yes at this point because ya girl did not want to see this exam again. I applied to 17 schools ( didn’t pay for any apps, request the fee waiver at the beginning of the cycle) and was accepted to 2 and waitlisted at a bunch more. I’m finally going to law school and will be attending Northwestern Law with a scholarship. With that being said, as many of you might be embarking on your journey, keep pushing ,stay focused and keep your eye on whatever you desire.

Hey Guys!

I am looking for someone who is fully committed to taking the LSAT. I live in NYC located in the Bronx, and I would love to find someone to study in person. I have an open schedule and can host if needed since it is still cold. I am hoping to test in June, but I am considering pushing it back to August depending on where I am scoring next month. I am not new to the LSAT, but I still have much to learn and skills to hone.

If you are interested in gaining a committed study partner, please feel free to message me. I am ready to start with immediately, we can see if our schedules match. I am unavailable on Tuesdays, but I am available any other day of the week.

Looking forward to speaking to you.

Hey I'm looking for a group that can meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm EST to prepare for the August or September 2022 LSAT. Let me know if you're interested and I'll pm you! Was thinking of having it via Zoom.

P.S. I know there is a similar post made not too long ago but I wouldn't be able to make the timings due to my work schedule. So, I'm hoping to provide an option for people in the same boat!

Is there a way to manually (or otherwise) import PT score data--the final score result would be fine--from one's LSAT preparation outside of 7Sage into the 7Sage Analytics tool?

I ask because I have a number of PTs, which I took via Khan Academy, prior to enrolling in 7Sage. As I complete the 7Sage curriculum, I notice that I am re-taking PTs as a result of not being able to track which one's I already completed with Khan Academy.

Just feel depressed. Start officially preparing from February and did 5 PT (mostly 70s and 80s). Average score 159-160 and really don't know what to do about the coming test. cant deal with RC and LG... Always feel a rush when time is out.

Could somebody help me with my study schedule for the April test? Thank you so much and really appreciate it. I guess my mood was just bad today after a 158 on PT78.

btw currently using manhattan RC and LG and feel good about it. Also subscribed to 7sage monthly premium several days ago. Hope these materials help. I also did several skim through and know basics from powerscore bible LR, Loophole and LSAT trainer. Average study time per week around 30 hours.

Hi!

I'm so confused about the strategy for elimination on MOR questions.

I eliminated b and d straight away reading 'positive'. I thought the answer choice should include words of 'certainty' due to 'we can be sure'. Is my elimination strategy too extreme? I usually do this on method of reasoning first eliminating explicitly wrong answers from several cues, but I think for this one was too extreme to just eliminate right away?

Besides, I usually separate 'quantitative' and 'qualitative' + overall structure cues, and match three kinds of cues to each answer choice, eliminate and confirm. Is this strategy okay?

Huge thanks in advance for someone who can advise me for this questions and overall strategy!

Good Evening, Everyone.

Can someone please share some knowledge with me revolving around question 12 of PT.33? My specific question pertains to understanding the written logic, which is used to solve the question.

The lawgic is /S --> J --> H --> /G --> /W. There is an “M” below the J pointing to the H as well; however, what is confusing to me is drawing an arched arrow backward from the H to the /S. Once I have done that, how the lawgic plays out is confusing to me; and therefore, how the correct answer is reached. I have watched the video on this question more than once and I am still confused.

If anyone can share anything regarding this question, I would appreciated it. I hope my question makes sense.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I am scheduled to take the April and June 2022 LSAT and am aiming for a 155/160. Looking to meet a few times a week via Zoom (EST), or potentially in person (Staten Island). I am studying full-time so I am flexible with timings. Would be nice to be held accountable and gain insight from each other. Please reach out if you think we'd be a great fit and want to crush this test together! :-)

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone from CT (preferably from the Fairfield County area) is interested in meeting regularly at a coffeeshop, library, park (once the weather gets warm), etc to study? We could just do our own thing and just have each other's company as accountability/motivation or we could talk through the 7sage curriculum!

Hi guys, I was hoping someone could help me out here. I'm taking the June 2022 LSAT and I've been studying since February daily for around 4 hours. I got a little distracted for two weeks because of spring break and while I am back on my grind, I've run into a little problem. I'm about two weeks away from finishing the Core Curriculum, but I'm stuck on the Logic Games section. I know that for the LGs, I should do each question I get wrong ten times, but should I be doing them ten times right now, or after I finish the CC and start practicing? Once I finish the CC I'll have about a month and a half of practice time ( I'll be studying 6 hours each day including weekends) but I don't know if I should I should try to master the LG now and then save the practice later for other things, or finish the CC first. I'm scared I wont get through the CC if I spend too much time on the LG section, but at the same time I don't want to risk it. Please let me know your thoughts or opinions I feel so lost!

Hello, Study Buddies!

I hope all is well and that studying has been going relatively smoothly. As you know, we are nearing the end of our second week of studying since we formed as a group-- go us!

I wanted to let you know that our GroupMe has been growing and the information, resources, and tips everyone has shared has been incredible. One of our most recent and exciting resources for our group is the opportunity to have an hour seminar with 7Sage’s Scott Milam.

As a group we are currently trying to find the best day and time to meet and are in the process of ironing out an agenda for our seminar, so if you have not had a chance to check out our GroupMe and pitch your ideas and availability, I encourage you to come to one of our study sessions or to reach out to me and communicate to get the link to our GroupMe if you don’t already have it. The poll to vote on the meeting time with Scott closes March 27 @ 9:35 PM PST in the GroupMe (that’s 3 days from now; the sooner you can vote, the better.)

Our burgeoning group of study buddies have been supportive and friendly and have far exceeded my expectations. To my study buddies that have been coming to the sessions and communicating with me and each other, thank you, you are truly amazing!

If you haven’t had a chance to drop in to a study session yet, or maybe you feel too much time has passed, or you feel awkward, or any number of reasons why, I want to let you know that you are still welcome in our group and that there are folks (including me) wanting to (e)meet you, encourage you, and study along side you. Please reach out and let’s get you plugged in.

Mark Twain once said, “The secret to getting ahead is getting started.”

Hey guys! I hope you are doing well! I have a question that really needed some advice!

I scored 173 last August and am applying for the 2022 cycle. I have multiple scores on my official record. I still have one last chance to retake the LSAT if I want to.

I am thinking about retaking the LSAT because I was waitlisted and rejected by all of the schools I am applying for. Although I am still waiting for the last three schools, I am worried.

I read on some discussion forums and blogs that for Asian who has a lower GPA and is aiming for T15 Law schools, the LSAT needs to be 175+.

If I retake, and my score is lower than my previous, it will get ugly. On the other hand, how much better off if I have a 175+? It seems very risky, but I really don't know anything else to do now. For the schools that waitlisted me, I don't have many updates. I saw many people with higher GPA and LSAT than I were also waitlisted. I am afraid I won't have much chance with a slight update on my resume.

So I am really frustrated and hoping someone can give me a suggestion on whether to retake or not? And other than retaking the LSAT, are there any other soft factors that can improve my chance of getting in?

Thank you very much for your help! Good luck studying the LSAT and applying for law schools.

Hi everyone,

I studied for about 4 months last year and finished 85% of the CC and took two practice tests, but I stopped studying towards the end of December. Its been so hard for me to start studying again. Does anyone have any advice on how to start after you've taken a "break"? For reference, my strongest area is LG, and my weaker areas are LR and RC.

I have a tutor I have been working with for about a month now, she's not 7sage affiliated and I feel sometimes we have a disconnect about what a good session looks like. She definitely knows the LSAT, but I'm not sure if we are getting the most out of our sessions. I'm working through the curriculum and she feels I should be testing more often. Does anyone have any advice on How a good tutoring session should go? (What success looks like)
