Hello all,
Quick question. Is it a bad idea to do some jumping around in the curriculum? The reason I ask is when my brain is vaped out on LR/RC questions I could still do LG questions/sections instead of having to take a break or stop for the day.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? I understand the reason to proceed through the curriculum from start to finish and not make any jumps, but I also think I could make more efficient use of my time.
Thank you for weighing in if you choose to!
How do I print out PrepTest? It wont allow me send it through email due to being "too large" and not able tp print out.
currently scoring -10 ish on all categories. Best tips to improve? have been studying about 25 days.
Does anyone have a trick for answering assumption questions? They are killing me! No matter how many times I re-watch the lessons; I still cannot understand them. Please help!!!
Hi everyone, I’m hoping to start a study group for the NOV 2022 LSAT. I am thinking of starting a discord where we can share study tips/study together/ask questions and more! :)
Looking for a study buddy. Based in Canada
Keep reading about the ABA potentially making the LSAT optional -- most recently that if passed it could apply as early as 2023. Does anyone at 7S have clarity on what that means specifically -- would that be test optional for THIS current admissions cycle? Love to hear any thoughts!
Thanks
Looking for a study buddy! I can meet any day throughout the summer. Urgent!
Hi guys! I am looking for some people to study with for the August 2022 LSAT! Hoping to make some sort of groupme or group chat, and maybe have zooms or something! I am a little behind on my study schedule, but I am hoping to really pick up the pace. My goal is mid 170s, and I am currently scoring around 169-171. Also, I am on EST!!
Hello,
I wanted to get some opinions. I have not done any LSAT prep before, and I just took my first practice/diagnostic exam today and got a 149. My goal score is 170+ and I want to ideally take the October or November LSAT. Given the fact that I have essentially not studied at all yet, do you guys think I have a shot at raising my score 21+ points in time for either of the exam dates?
Thanks!
I have no idea why it is not E
I don't understand how AC A strengthens the argument...so we can't see them when it is a wet year, shouldn't that mean that in '85 the observer would have seen less beetles that year than in '89?

Is anyone able to explain not just why AC B is correct, but why AC A is incorrect?
My understanding from the question stem is that the correct answer choice will be one that establishes either one of the two plans (demolition or rehabilitation). I chose AC A because I reasoned that the principle established that rehabilitation should occur UNLESS the neighborhood association deems the buildings a threat (which they do). So if the neighborhood deems the houses in question a threat, then they should not be rehabilitated, and if there are only two options: demolition or rehabilitation, then demolition would need to take place.
My guess as to why AC A is incorrect is because AC A only rules out rehabilitation as a possibility and does not establish that demolition will occur. AC B used some tricky language and it established that rehabilitation should occur and that makes sense, but unfortunately I read AC A first and understood it as establishing reason for demolition so I was biased in evaluating answer choice B. This question stem was especially odd so I am not very worried about getting confused by it but I would still like to understand this question better.
When I am blind reviewing on here after a full prep test am I supposed to be re-doing the questions to double check or just marking them with the tab button to show that I was not 100% correct on the answer?
Thanks!
Hi fellow students! I'm a bit confused about the question listed above. I don't understand how, based on the language in the stimulus, we were supposed to infer anything about cost. Can someone help explain why B is the correct answer as opposed to C or E?

Hi everyone,
I've been studying for the LSAT for about a year now. I've dabbled with 7Sage in the past but ended up going with a different program. I'm back because I love the podcasts and hear great things about the community.
3 months up to this June LSAT I had scored a 167 three times on PTs (along with an unfortunate 164 and 160). My original goal was 170, but I was feeling proud of myself so I decided to go through with June and aim for high 160s. Test day my nerves got the best of me. I didn't even finish games which I typically get a -0 to -2 on. This snowballed to affect LR, which I also didn't finish (usually -2 to -6). Never been great at RC but hoping to change that. After my meltdown I am considering on pushing back another cycle because I am backpacking Europe this summer. I will still be studying, but PTs will be impossible so August LSAT seems out of the question. I'm thinking of taking more time and evening increasing my goal into the 170s.
I am here just asking for any advice...what now? I have taken the most recent PTs and I usually understand the logic behind LR and LG (although I can always improve). I am unsure if it's worth it for me to go through the entire 7Sage curriculum at this point...is it? Or if anyone has a tutor they could connect me to that can help pinpoint what I need to work on so I'm not wasting too much time on the fundamentals? My priorities are currently to foolproof games, correct my weaknesses in LR and RC, and find concrete strategies for each section so I don't crumble on my next test day. I'll take any advice, thank you!!
Hi everyone! I am starting on my personal statement this week and I am really struggling to get started. If anyone has any advice that would be amazing
Hello all, just had a few quick questions about the LSAT on exam day. I am signed up for the August LSAT.
Even though there are only three graded sections as of 2020, we still take the full four section exam, correct?
What is the timeline for exam day? Should i expect a 5-10 minute break in between each section, or are they strictly back to back?
Also, has anybody actually legitimately prepared for the writing section? I've been studying since around January of 2022, and I haven't done a practice writing a single time. My score keeps on going up when I'm studying the graded portion, so i don't want to waste any time on something that seems to be far more inconsequential.
Would love to connect and hold each other accountable! It's tough balancing home responsibilities with studying, but I am confident we can do it with some support!
Hi all,
I have been studying 7sage for 5 months - started with Khan Academy, etc. I just took my first PT since December (140 score) and scored a 143 today (PT 83 Dec 2017).
I was hoping to see ..much.. more improvement within this timeframe, and feel concerned.. all the time and money I have invested into the course. Accountability is due - my syllabus has 24 of 219 hours fulfilled. How is this even possible?
Did I make a mistake by focusing only on curriculum these past months? I used to take weekly PT's and felt similarly discouraged not seeing my scores rise. I feel like I am missing stamina and key ideas such as "Flawed pattern questions" and "Substitute constraints".
LR1 8 of 25
LR2 15 of 26 (How did I manage to double my score from first LR portion?)
RC 10 of 27
LG 11 of 23 (Guessed last game, didn't have time)
Hey everyone! I'm planning on taking the LSAT in October, and I would really like to study intensively for several months before the exam. I'm wondering if anyone would like to form a accountability/study group?
Hi Folks,
I haven't seen a lot of discussions regarding study tips tailored to those with ADHD. I wanted to share some things that I have found have been working for me, and tips I wish I knew before beginning my LSAT journey. I hope it helps you too! (even if you don't have ADHD) I doubted a lot of my potential because of my diagnosis however, these things have really helped my confidence to know that I am 100% capable of scoring above my goal, and getting into one of my top choice law schools.
I downloaded the Flow App (free), and it has timers to work/study, then timers for breaks between work. It blocks apps so that you are unable to open them during your study session, and only on breaks. You can set the duration of the study periods and breaks (even include a larger break in the middle.) I did pay extra to have to ability to have the "commitment mode" so you can't pause the timer, and you can block websites in addition to apps (Only $1 per month).
SCHEDULE! I put into my Apple Calendar and/or Microsoft to do App exactly the duration my study period will be and what I would be doing (ex. prep test #, reviewing etc). Act like this is any other important appointment that's non-negotiable. Find out what time is optimal for you. I study best in afternoons and evenings, so I rarely scheduled study sessions in the mornings to make sure I set myself up for success.
Physically put your phone in another room on DND. It might seem obvious but it will help you from subconsciously grabbing it, or responding to texts or calls that can wait.
Do prep tests on zoom with a friend or study buddy. Even though you're not communicating, it keeps you and them accountable and in sync.
Regular exercise, especially at the beginning of the day. This can be a struggle, but every time I do it, I notice I am much more energized and attentive that day.
If you have a diagnosis request extra time!! I didn't know this at first, and almost missed the deadline for submitting the accommodation request for June.
Please add to the discussion if you have any tips or recommendations to add.

I currently go to a top 100 undergrad, but my specific college within my university has a good reputation with many of the top law schools since many students go on to succeed there. I've heard a lot of different things, some people say going right through is easiest since you don't have as many responsibilities, but others say that work experience is becoming far more important for T14 schools. My GPA is a 3.8mid and I'm registered for the August 12th LSAT. My scores have been 16mid but I'm showing fairly steady improvement as I get better at focusing on the test for the entire duration. My goal score is a 175+ and I am fairly confident that I can get close to it as I keep practicing.
However, I'm worried that my age will make it difficult for me to find work experience, since I am graduating from college at 19 since I'm doing my undergrad in 3 years. I think if I have a few more years before I get into the "real world", then it will be a lot better for me. I have 2 internships so far, 2 e-board positions in school organizations, I mentor for 2 different organizations, and I'm a researcher for my school's Human Rights Lab. I hope that my school involvement can make up for my lack of work experience, and I hope that the leadership positions will show maturity and ambition despite my age. My GPA was also a 3.8high before this past semester, but I have heard that you can include an addendum to explain a slight drop in grades, since this was my first fully in-person semester of college and many of the facilities were not fully operational, making the semester especially difficult.
I would really appreciate any thoughts!
Thanks :)
Hey All,
I've been studying for over a year now, and have quite literally seen zero BR improvement in the last 6-7 months. Currently BRing in between 170-172. I hardly go above or below these numbers. Any and all advice would be much appreciated!
