I got my LORs in Dec 2019 - I planned to apply for this 2020 cycle but decided to apply for the 2021 one instead. Should I reach out to LORs for letter resubmission? I checked my LSAC account and was not clear should I ask them to resubmit or to edit the existing one. Does anyone have an idea on this? Thank you so much for any input in advance!

Hey all -

When I checked my laptop functionality last night on ProctorU, it said my RAM exceeded the limits. I deleted some old things and it seemed to work fine. However, I checked again this morning and now apparently my RAM is over again. Has anyone else had trouble with this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey guys I need some advice. I have been studying on and off since October 2020 for the LSAT due to military deployments. I took one diagnostic and scored a 140. I really need a 165 or 170, any advice on how to study for this?

I notice I often misread a question, which can either waste a lot of time (if it's a logic game and the board no longer makes sense) or lead me to the wrong answer. On paper you could avoid this by underlining and marking things with your pencil. Unfortunately, you cannot do anything like that on the LSAT flex with the digital interface. Are there any tips to reduce misreading errors on a digital interface?

Hi Everyone! Can someone please share their game plan for 7sage? What should I start with first? I work full time and can only study 2 hours daily. How long is the core curriculum? Any guidance will greatly be appreciated. I am planning on taking the test in June.

Hi 7Sage!

I have been studying for this monster of a test for almost 2 years now (working full time) and have finally realized I should probably get a tutor for extra practice. A bit late, I know, but now I can actually afford one. I have seen some Instagram LSAT tutors who have great reviews and are pretty popular. But I also heard of some 7sagers who provide tutoring services I think. Any recommendations? Any advice before you ask an LSAT tutor for their services?

Thank you!

Hey all! This is a vulnerable post for me to make so I'd appreciate no judgment, just constructive advice!

I have really struggled with the LSAT and it has made me question my capabilities of attending law school. I am an incredibly driven person which is why I'm not giving up on my law school dreams, but upon entering a fifth attempt I know I need to be strategic about the way I approach it.

My past scores are:

1) 146 (Nov 2019)

2) Cancelled (Jan 2020) - I'm pretty upset about this one now that I'm going to need to utilize a 5th take. I tried to appeal to get another attempt. Long story short I have a permanent medical condition and my endocrinologist switched my dosage causing severe stomach cramps DURING the exam... she wrote a doctors note but LSAC still rejected it; if anyone has had success with appeals for another attempt please don't hesitate to PM me.

3) 151 (February 2020)

4) 150 (January 2021) - my latest and greatest disaster (not that it's a bad score - for anyone who is scoring there now - but I had worked for a year to push past an early plateau and had finally gotten to a place where I was consistently scoring high 150s/low 160s. I was absolutely devastated to find out that I had scored worse than I did a year ago.)

Going into June I know I've done the hard part (increasing my score from my first diagnostic which was a 142). After studying for this exam for nearly 2 years, I decided to take a plunge and speak with my family doctor who prescribed me beta blockers for performance anxiety. I will be practicing with them each time I take a test until June.

I would love to hear from others who achieved their goal score on a fifth attempt or simply had to take one and was nervous about the pressures of it. I would also love to hear from anyone who has had success using beta blockers.

I tend to put a lot of pressure on situations, which I think is what causes me to set myself up for failure. Ultimately, while this will be an important exam for me I am trying not to put the weight of the world on it but instead focus on doing the absolute best that I can.

Thanks to anyone that took the time to read this or comment, it means the world to me to have a safe space like 7Sage.

Best of luck studying.

As the great Gucci Mane once said.... "Nobody cares. Work harder!"

Currently feeling lack of motivation to study.. nothing does the trick like a little Gucci. Hope this inspires some of you peeps too.

Back to studying I go. :P

I have searched for about an hour and haven't found the information that I'm looking for so I'm hoping someone here could direct me to where this was mentioned but legacy accounts can't be extended so the price is jumping from 25$ a month to... what? $69? For the exact same information or is there going to be more included?

Hi! I am planning to take my LSAT this April 2021. I am looking for a virtual study partner to work through LR questions or just hold each other accountable and go over strategies/questions/concepts. Message me if you would be interested! Thanks.

I applied to 18 law schools, with most law schools acknowledging receipt of my application between December 8th and 16th. Most of those law schools fall within the top 20. So far, I have only heard back from 1 school (an acceptance), and that was the single school that I had applied to in January. It's been total silence from the other 17 schools -- no interview requests, rejections, or acceptances. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could possibly provide some advice for the situation that I am in. I am scheduled to take the LSAT this weekend and I have been preparing since October.

Two weeks ago, I was out for a run and I slipped and hit my head. I sustained a concussion and I have not studied since as I am still experiencing symptoms. I have documented the concussion/symptoms with my doctor.

At this rate, I know that I am not in the best position to do well on the exam and I probably will not be taking it.

Given the circumstances, will the LSAC allow me to move my test date to the April exam free of charge?

Has anyone else had a similar circumstance where they were not able to take the LSAT due to a medical reason?

Hi all. I wanted to write this post because I have struggled immensely with the LSAT for over a year. I have never struggled on an exam/anything school related so much in my life. I have always done very well in school and considered myself pretty smart but, most importantly, a very hard worker. With the LSAT I have worked very, very hard and truly given it my all and tried everything. I've taken it twice and both times, unfortunately, my score was much lower than my expectations & practice tests. It has been so frustrating to me to put in so much effort into something and not see the results of that labor.

The LSAT has challenged me tremendously and really affected my mental and physical health in ways that I have tried so hard to work through for years. All that being said, even though my scores have been disappointing, I'm proud of myself for giving it my all. I'll be studying for a few months and giving it one last shot but I've made a conscious decision not to go crazy over this exam. I will find another way to get into the schools I want, and wherever I end up it's where I'm meant to be.

As a first-generation college grad, immigrant, and low-income woman of color especially this exam has made me doubt myself in so many ways and doubt whether I am good enough to even go to law school. It is incredibly upsetting and unfair how much importance is given to the LSAT in the admissions process at top schools. In my opinion it is a way of gatekeeping certain kinds of students out and that is so unfair and angering.

YOU ARE MORE THAN THIS EXAM. Your LSAT score does not define you.
