I'm taking the LSAT this month (Feb 2021) and was wondering if I should do anything before the test to prepare for the essay (I haven't done any essay prep yet). Advice would be very much appreciated!

In need of a study partner to help keep each other motivated. I’m planning on taking the LSAT in the summer and I’m currently scoring in the 150’s aiming for 160+. Feel free to message me if you’re interested!

What has been your most useful, in summary, tactic in improving your points in RC? I seem to be doing the standard "summarize each paragraph" as I go but maybe it is just me but it is not clicking. I feel like there is more science to it than just summarizing as you read the entire passage.

Anyone else?

Hello good people... I'm going to try something different this time. I've set up a coupon code on my booking portal that I'll keep open for a limited time today, and cut it off when I reach capacity. It'll be one time use and allow you to book a "standard session" free of charge. It'll be 1 hour... I usually go longer for tutoring sessions but for these we'll try to keep it at an hour to fit more people in.

Hopefully this will allow better access than my usual last minute offerings...

...which I'm also doing again as well. If you are free between now and 8 pm EST and would like to talk LSAT or throw some questions around, let's hit it! If this is up, I'm still open.

Code is: removed

Edit: Done for now so I can control volume. Will likely open back up later. Appointment for today is still open!

Hi all, I got a weird letter from Stanford just now, wondering if anyone else got this letter and how they're feeling about it. I applied to 16 law schools in early November, Stanford was not one of them. With a 163 LSAT and a 3.72 GPA I thought that it would be a long shot and a waste of money. Then today I get a form letter from them encouraging me to apply because they want to increase diversity (I am a gay lady). They told me how to apply for a fee waiver from LSAC but did not actually give me a fee waiver. With the deadline a week a way, this late in the application cycle, and with no actual fee waiver, this seems to me like an attempt for them to just collect more application fees. The fact that they are sending these letters to "diverse" prospective students seems especially fucked up to me. Anyone else get this letter and feel weird about it? If Stanford really wanted a diverse class why didn't they send me this letter right after my LSAT? Or why didn't get give me a fee waiver? Seems like a money making attempt masked as a diversity campaign. Thoughts?

Anybody know if this site has prep tests, and corresponding solutions to the tests? I am not sure how to navigate the PrepTests under "Resources". it does not really seem to have the questions, but rather a way to estimate the grade when we enter our answers. Does 7sage have lsat questions anywhere?

hi all!

I'm getting back on the grind after my January 2021 attempt (I'm aiming to book for early summer maybe june/july). Anyways, my last PT was a 160 before I sat for the January exam and I was heavily using the recent PTs closer to my test date for obvious reasons.

I was wondering how everyone utilizes the different LSAT eras in their studying (ie 1-20, 30s/40s, 50s/60s, 70s/80s)? I have heard of many people using PTs 1-20 solely for drilling, but was thinking of starting there and doing (roughly) one PT a day. I thought this would be a good place to start to get consistent with RC & games, and then got thinking that it wouldn't hurt to dip my toes into LR as well.

I'd love to hear how others are utilizing the different PT eras for studying + what you found worked best for you - just trying to take a different approach this time around in the hopes of seeing some major improvement before the summer.

thanks & happy studying! 🤍

Help!!!!

I have been getting LITERALLY every question in EVERY category wrong for the past 3 days. I know I have been busy and very tired from work (firefighter/paramedic). But I'm really starting to feel like I'm wasting my time. Any advice?

Hi all- I was wondering if you had advice on these two question types.

I don't always get stumped with these, but when I do get questions wrong they tend to be one or the other. I get thrown off with the language when I'm down to 2 answer choices.

What has helped you all in tackling these particular questions?

Thanks in advance!

Stimulus (paraphrased)

Pamela: physicians in training work long, up to 36 hours, shifts and that fatigue impairs their ability to make the best medical decisions during final portions of their shift.

Quincy: Thousands of physicians have gone through this regiment with records to show that the system works. So why change now?

Though I realize I need to work in the stimulus to pick my answers, as someone who has worked shifts before, I know that your relief does not generally show up generously early. So if these physicians work up to 36 hours, they are in the long haul and that fatigue can be a very real risk to decision making towards the end.

Anyways, with everything in mind above, I was left with AC B vs C.

I picked AC C because of my influence from experience...hear me out: emergency-room patients needing continuity of physician care over the critical period after admission, generally 24 hours, would seem as though at any given crucial moment, the expectation would that a physician is able to make the best medical decisions. In the event where there is not a generous overlap between turnovers from one shift to the next, that leaves patients in critical conditions reliant on potentially fatigued physicians that are towards the end of their 36 hour shift. That is why I thought, this would be enough to counter Quincy's argument. Yes, the physicians do need to better working conditions to minimize fatigue that could impair medical decisions.

Meanwhile, AC B has me understanding it as there will be more seriously ill patients during their stay at the hospital than before. I felt like I had to draw an inference on this one. While not everyone in an emergency room may not be in a life threatening state, I guess AC B paints a better picture with more people requiring more attention and the need for best medical decisions??

Please help

I just took PT 89 and did really well! It was a huge step up from my previous scores. I progressed about 7 points from two weeks earlier. Is PT 89 considered to be fairly easy or did I actually improve this much? I set the settings to simulate the LSAT flex so it only consisted of three sections rather than 5.

Just recommitted for a year. Live in the PST, half luddite and willing to learn. First kahn PT 150, 7SAge PT 140. Go figure. Gave up and went away. Reevaluated and here I am. Paid up for a year.

My goal score is whatever honest effort rewards me with.

My vision for a group is one that is supportive, non competitive, mindful, playful and committed. Open to structure and mechanics of connecting.

Newish to 7 Sage mechanics, so not quite sure about how to receive interest (should there be any!).

I'm confused since there has been only two officially announced test dates this year (without january). Will there be more tests after april one? I naturally assumed that there will be at least 5-7 tests this year like last year, but now I am getting worried

Hey all, I've been waitlisted at NU and I feel it'll be a really good fit for me. I'm a non-traditional student with a family, military veteran, excited about NU's clinic and class offerings and I want to do as much as I can to get off their waitlist. Any advice?

Has anyone received any information about scheduling regarding February's LSAT? It's now under 2 weeks away, I haven't gotten any correspondence from LSAC since the day I registered, wondering what other people are experiencing. Thanks!
