I started legit studying using 7sage and the loophole on july 9, I have been studying everyday for a couple hours. I took a diagnostic and got 138. I m taking it the first week of October aiming for a high 160,

I need help because using 7 sage to learn foundations has left me confused and all over the place.

Can someone recommend anything different?

When clicking on a school, would someone clarify the tuition and costs to me?

Is the Cost of living (off campus) the estimation of only the cost-of-living expenses (rent, groceries, etc) apart from the tuition?

And the actual Total cost is the cost of 1 year or semester? (again, apart from the cost of living).

We should be looking at the total cost for a year's tuition and of course the 3 years for the entirety of the full-time completion. Am I understanding this correctly?

And for the scholarship predictor- this is only for one year correct?

I am broke and first generation. Honestly, I really just want to get into a school in Kentucky. I prefer UofK or UofL. But I will gladly accept NKU. I don't see a thing wrong with NKU, I just know UofK and UofL are more in the areas I wanna be working/living in. Yeah, the T14s and the T30s sound cool, but with the "big beautiful bill," law school in of itself feels like a distant unattainable dream financially. I am fortunate in the sense of not having undergrad debt, but I am currently unemployed. I start work again as a sub teacher soon, but it isn't enough. I don't wanna fall for a "predatory" law school. I want to work in Public Advocacy for sure. Big Law seems interesting, but at the same time it isn't a goal of mine to work in Big Law. (Had someone ask why I wanna be broke on purpose :/). I take the August 8th LSAT, but I don't feel ready. I would move it back, but I would lose one of my fee waved tries and I rather go ahead and take it. Although, I am also taking one in September. And for anyone else in my position, for the love of God, STAY OFF REDDIT.

I have been studying for 2-4 hours a day for about 9 weeks and I feel like I'm really starting to lose my edge. In this last week, I feel like my studying was significantly less deliberate. One thing is that I have recently started reading the PowerScore RC bible and find it challenging to engage with. I try to remind myself that gaining confidence in LR took many weeks on its own. Does anyone have any advice for burnout?

Hello!! This is my goal and I'm willing to work hard. If anyone wants to join me or anyone has any guidance, please reach out!

Hey folks! I'm looking for a buddy to host weekly zoom calls with to review tough problems and talk through strategies. I learn best when I have to explain my thought process to someone else, so am looking for someone who I can do that with :) Let me know if you're interested in starting a regular cadence of weekly, hour-long meetings where we take turns reviewing problems we struggled with!

I'm looking for someone more or less with a similar score range, schedule, + learning style as me:

• Goal score of 173 and currently PT'ing around 168 (I hit a plateau HARD here)

• Pacific Time Zone, available before 2pm

• Focused on identifying patterns in missed problems, and interested in explaining their thought process out loud and talking through different strategies

Hello! I'm starting to prepare for the LSATs and January is the latest I can take it to stay on time with my undergraduate trajectory. I took the LSATs too early during my freshman year and scored a 149. After taking a practice LSAT to diagnose myself before this LSAT cycle, I received a 147. I can't afford the 7sage foundation prep work so I was wondering if people have any suggestions for learning the foundations.

I am seeing so much terminology for strategies etc and I'm not sure where to start in tackling this.

I need to get at least a 170 to qualify for scholarships that can help me afford law school. Has anyone been able to make such a big leap?

Edit: As of now, I am revising all the questions I got wrong on LawHub and it takes me a minimum of an hour to revise each question I've gotten wrong because I'm worried about falling trap to the already knowing the answer so feeling like I understand when I don't.

Hi everyone!

I’m taking the August LSAT, and one of the best ways I learn is by teaching and discussing reasoning with others. I thought it would be fun to help someone while sharpening my own understanding before test day.

A little about me:

• Diagnostic: 150

• Averaging in the low- to mid-170s on recent PTs

• Highest PT: 177

• Previous teaching experience as a teaching assistant, tutor, and snowboard instructor

I’m looking for 1–3 people currently scoring around 150–165 who are serious about studying and would like to go through a few LR questions together over Zoom. My goal is to help you understand why the right answer is right and why the others are wrong, while also sharing the thought process I use when approaching LR.

The session will be:

• Free (the only thing I ask in return is honest feedback afterward so I can continue improving as a teacher)

• Around 1 hour

If this sounds helpful, feel free to comment below or send me a DM. Good luck to everyone taking the August LSAT!

Edit: So far, a bunch of people are interested so I likely will host 2-3 sessions with a few people each. If you could comment/ DM your current PT average, the type of questions you are struggling with the most (even better if you have exact PT, section and question number), and your time zone (I am Pacific Time), I can group people accordingly! Thanks :)

Edit 2: Currently have space for people wanting to work on tougher LR questions but otherwise no more space :(. Might do more after I submit my law school apps!

Edit 3: All sessions are now full!

Hi everyone, I have been struggling on improving on Phenomena Hypothesis questions, it’s usually the only questions I get wrong. Does anyone have any tips on how to think about the questions?

I’ve watched all the videos it’s just one of those things that doesn’t click for me. I pick the trap answers each time!

Bit by bit, I feel like I am decreasing my variance.

I made a post on here after June's exam, talking about how a lot of the exam took me by surprise. I put my observations in the post, but it was mostly about how the entire thing was a diabolical phenomenon-hypothesis + quantifier + causal reasoning + correlation bomb.

I have worked on strengthening each area that gave me pause, and I think I am better than I was in June. But it is impossible to tell. I scored a 178 today, a 180 on my test before that. Only one question on the Ptest I took today reminded me of what I saw in June (it was a phenomenon-hypothesis question about waters surrounding Shooter's island, which thankfully I have grown wise enough to get right).

But technically, every test I take now is either some % not fresh or I haven't seen the content in a very long time. Literally no score is "representative" and I feel like I could get absolutely decimated on the exam, even though in every "fresh" metric I am mogging my June self.

I got a 168 in June despite multiple mid 175 performances. What has changed between then and now is the confidence I go at questions with. I assume the way I interpret words, negatives, phrases, etc. is always correct and I don't look for "safer" answers. I hope it pays off. But I may very well be shocked again and join y'all this October.

If any tutors/instructors see this, do you have any thoughts about how I should interpret my testing data?

Hi! Since the August LSAT Argumentative Writing section opened today, I had a few questions.

1. How long will it take for the score to be processed, and does processing time impact when I get my score back? I want to spend this week focused on the score part of the LSAT and am going on a 7-day trip the day after my LSAT, so I was wondering when the latest I can do the writing section to still get my score on time?

2. I read the 7Sage writing module, and since it was written a few years ago, have there been any changes to the weight of the writing section for my application?

3. What is the minimum length I should be aiming to hit?

Thanks!

Hey everyone! I am taking the LSAT in September. I have gotten my LR scoring up SO much throughout the last few months and I feel the only thing that is stopping me from hitting that 170 mark at this point is my RC which is so frustrating. Does anyone have any tips and tricks for improving on those sections? Thanks so much in advance.

I think its possible for me to get a 170 by then from what I'm getting now . Here's hoping

I'm taking the Aug 8 LSAT. I got a 167 back in early July which I was thrilled by because I'm aiming for a high 160s score. But since then, I've gotten a 159 (took coming off a red eye so whatever), 162, and a 161. I feel like the harder I work to drill certain question types, review intensely, the dumber I'm getting. Everyone online says to taper off the week before the exam, but I want to cram and I just don't know what do do. Eek!

The question identifiers on the pdfs are in the format PT150-S4-Q6. If you copy and paste into the drill creator or into the question search it won’t yield anything because it needs to be in the PT150.S4.Q6 format. So I waste time replacing “-“ with “.”. Is it possible to have the pdfs use the more easily searchable format? Thank you!

Hi 7Sagers,

I'm planning on taking my LSAT in October and need to increase my score by 7 points, but with work and other commitments, I find myself so unmotivated to study.

If anyone would like to band together for a study group 2-3 times a week, let me know! I'll make a group chat and we can work out what days work for everyone. I'm also open to having a Discord server for those not even in NYC. Let's get into our dream schools together!

Hello! I'm a rising senior she/her and I'm hoping to take the October test, and am currently PTing in high 160s. I'd really love it if I could meet with someone or a group on some kind of basis either to study together or just to stay accountable. I'm super open to whatever schedule might work best for you, but I'm really hoping I can be consistent with meeting on a daily or weekly basis :') so please reach out to me at 404-721-8053 if you're interested in setting up study sessions!!

Was this a harder test? I'm honestly just really confused at the drop. This test alone made me reschedule my LSAT from september to november. Any advice would be appreciated!

Often times when describing a scenario we build our own mental image of the situation. In the lessons we were aided with diagrams in some examples to further demonstrate this technique.

How often do typical test takers engage with visual techniques to understand the passage or stimulus?

A common deceptive trope is the Mind Palace. Popularized through Sherlock Holmes and incorporated as a gameplay mechanic in Alan Wake II, the Mind Palace/Place is a visual safe space that the reader uses to anchor key points.

Could this type of visual accounting be a useful tool for combating RC. The mind map would be limited to context and provide a sandbox to track context without getting mixed up with the content.

Hi! My plan is to take the October LSAT, but I keep procrastinating studying and tend to do a lot better when I have accountability buddies and people to talk through questions with! If anyone is interested, please feel free to join and send a message :)

Hello friends! I've missed seeing your faces! Stoked to announce I'm back doing a bit of live content again.

This Weds 6-7:30pm EST I'm hosting a group therapy session in advance of the August test. That moniker started off facetious but turned out to be pretty apt. Come share stories, worries, and inspiration with your fellow Augustinos.

I'm also gonna start doing the Lofi stream again every Tuesday 5-8pm EST, this time on the 7Sage platform instead of YouTube. You can find it in the normal classes list.

so if it made you laugh, you let me know

Does anyone have advice on how to get close the gap from a real pt compared to your blind review score? I consistently get way lower pt scores compared to blind review. I drill and drill and I still can’t seem to overcome this hurdle.
