Hi everyone, I'm having trouble with the timing on LR. There's no particular question type that I get stuck on- it's usually the difficult ones in the section. It takes me around 40 minutes to complete a section with 3-4 question wrong but when I hurry I get around 7-9 wrong. I'm kinda stuck not sure what to do, any advice would be appreciated.

A few of the schools I am applying to only accept a personal statement and an addendum. Can I use the section for the addendum as my diversity statement? My personal statement focuses more on a specific work experience so I'd like to include other aspects of who I am through another essay. Thanks in advance!

How do i benefit from the wrong answer journal if i don't even understand how I got the question wrong? obviously, I got it wrong because I didn't select the correct answer and if i know what i did wrong Im sure I would have selected the right answer Lol ..... if anyone can advise me I would really appreciate it. :)

Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out if I should start scheduling law school visits. I wasn't sure if it is "a thing" for law candidates to visit school as much as it was for undergrad. I am still waiting on my August test scores which will give me a good idea of which schools I am really looking at, but do you all think it is a good idea to visit schools this fall? Since I am a spring sport college athlete, I won't be able to attend any accepted student activities in the spring, so I have to focus on that stuff this fall.

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I am a prospective applicant and plan on taking the LSAT next year. My goal is to score in the high 160s, low 170s as of now. If you worked and studied full time, I'd appreciate it if you would be willing to share how you stayed diligent with studying and working full time and achieving your score goals (especially if there are busier months in your field of work than others and how you managed working around that).

Thanks!

Hi all!

I’ve directly enrolled in a study abroad program in UK for one academic year and decided to add it to my LSAC account and request a transcript. However, I’ve just got an email from the study abroad institution saying that they are unable to send the transcript in the post because the campus has not returned to the situation before the pandemic (the majority of school staff remain working from home and students are to receive transcripts electronically), and they can only issue transcripts by pdf.

My question is, assuming that LSAC will not accept any other form of transcript even in such an unusual time, should I request to get this institution removed from my account? (I believe this transcript is not necessarily required) If so, since I do wish to show my academic records from this study abroad program, will I be able to include the transcript as an addendum (or through any other way) later in the application process?

I've emailed LSAC about this and haven't yet got any response, so I'm hoping if someone here has encountered the similar situation and is willing to offer some direction! Any suggestion is much valued :) Thank you so much!!

Hi,

I took the test in August and am anticipating that I have to retake it again (I know I didn't so well). How do you you "re-study" the LSAT? It's like relearning the concepts I already know. Do I re-read and re-learn the concepts, or keep on practicing and watch the explanations video? I am in a position where I am stuck and don't know how to improve. Any tips would be appreciated.

From,

Jack

Two questions here:

I can see that 7Sage has an option for testing that allows for simulating the LSAT Flex with only three sections. Considering the test is back to having an experimental section, should I be prep testing the LSAT Flex three sections or continuing doing the regular four sections? Only issue I can see is that yes, I'd be getting the same stamina on four sections with normal prep test, but it would always be an extra LR section. Thoughts?

Secondly, does moving to three equal sections on the LSAT Flex (no extra LR) change my study habits? I do decent at LR for the score I am shooting for, but do significantly worse on RC and LG. Should I jump around in core curriculum to meet my needs?

Background for second question: For the first three months of studying I had been using another text besides 7Sage, but just became frustrated toward the end of the book because I did not have any guidance when I got stuck on concepts. All this to say, I know I am too late to get the entire core curriculum and appropriate number of prep tests before my October test.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I've been stuck on 158 since over a month. I could really use your help. My main problem is the Logical reasoning section. I get over 10 incorrect answers.

hi! i'll be writing in october and was wondering which PTs i should focus on? are the older ones more indicative of the current LSAT or the newer ones better to review? if anyone has recently taken an LSAT i'd love to know your input!

I received a score of 171 in 3 of my last 5 PTs, but I'm having trouble getting over this hump. My goal score is a 173 based on the new T-14 medians, and I'm not sure whether I should be spending my time before the October LSAT just taking PTs or drilling. I struggle the most with Inference questions in RC and Weaken questions in LR, and I have been drilling these with some improvement. I typically miss between 4 and 6 questions in RC, between 1 and 4 questions in LR, and typically go perfect or -1 in LG. I have gone as high as 177 during BR, but cannot score higher than 171 timed. Any tips would be appreciated!

I am wondering how other test takers stregically use the highlight function. From my understanding, this will be available on test day. I see in the lessons (especially logical reasoning), that circling strong words, underlining the conclusion, etc. is used. How do you all use the highlight function and what do you choose to highlight?

Thank you!

Anyone have a good study schedule they're willing to share with me? Maybe like a weekly one, for example like Mondays is logic games and Tuesday is LR and how many hours do you spend on it. If that makes sense....thank you!!

So I've been struggling with reading comp... my first diagnostic I got around 8/27... after practicing for awhile I was able to inconsistently get a few points higher. I have now started reading actively and I find this is helping a ton. I'm up to 17/27, but the question types I am now struggling with are inference. Anything that requires me to infer something from the passage I can't seem to wrap my head around. I've never been a strong reader and RC has been a challenge to improve on. Just wondering if anyone has any advice for inference questions, or RC in general.

Hi all!

I recently saw the new LSAT medians for some of my top schools go up considerably. I was in the 75 percentile with my LSAT score, and now I am at the median or below the median for some of my schools. I was strongly hoping for a scholarship, and felt that my current LSAT was good at the time I took it (June). However, now I'm not so sure, and it is too late for me personally to retake. Any suggestions or advice? If you were recently dropped to the median or even below the median for a school, is there any hope at all for scholarship?

Thanks all for the wonderful community !

Intro - What's up my putitassss - it's your slaveboi lsat_sus back at it with "anotha one."

Hook - "the LSAT is the Great Equalizer" (to an extent). This is the best quote of all time. I personally couldn't/still can't find a damn "normal" job with my jankyass resume, but law schools might at least take a look at me if I ace this shit. Perhaps some of y'alls can relate to this hopeful idea.

Body - This is the second of hopefully many many free tutoring vids I'm tryna do by next cycle. It's gonna have errors but I got a -2 timed/BR on this section for the PT so I think I got these Q's in the bag.

The structure will be similar to the first, but this session will be more open to questions. I'll be explaining the Q from top to bottom, and opening the floor up for questions on that particular question. I can't really guarantee answers but it'll be a good exercise between us nonetheless.

Conclusion - Mind you, this meeting will be "rEcOrdEd for quality and training purposes." Both yours and my little box on Zoom will be included in the video if you ask a question. So please be mindful of that if it matters to you.

Hope to see some of y'alls in a bit!

Gosh I can't hold it anymore, I am taking the October LSAT, barely a month from now. All I wanna get is a 165, ideally 168. I practiced so hard for the whole summer, like a PT every two to three days and smashed the Bible trilogy and LSAT trainer. But my grades just keep fluctuating...

I went from a 147 diagnosic mark (2 months ago) to a 151 (a month ago) to 156 (two weeks ago), to a 160, BR 162 ( last week, PT 88). I was so happy, but I dare not to celebrate cuz I know whenever I am contented with my LSAT grades, something bad just follows right away. I put away my PTs and revisited the LR Bible cuz I feel like I can make the biggest improvement in a short period of time. And my grades started dropping, like till they meet the deepest point of Mariana Trench. My LG is pretty much stable, at the -6 to -4 range. But my LR just fluctuates SO BADLY. I was going from a -13 to a -5 over the past few months, but then it just happens that I went back to the starting point again... I tried three LR sections today, ends up -10, -12 and -12. What's happening out there... I reviewed the questions I got wrong, they are TERRIBLE CARELESS MISTAKES, if I had a second chance, I am definitely getting them right...

Can anyone give me some guidance on how to attain stable grades in LR? I don't know why but every time I broke my record, I just restart everything and need a whole week or two to get to another peak. I am so frustrated right now. My poor little heart... I'm so afraid that I will be performing like this in the actual LSAT...

Hi everyone,

After poring over more than three hundred applications, we're proud to announce the winner and runners up of the 7Sage 7K scholarship. Every single applicant was deserving, but the seven nine we chose moved us deeply. We think the world will be a better place when they earn their law degrees.

The winner of the 7Sage 7K scholarship is Iesha Phillips.

The runners up are Diann Pena, Frank Pereira, Joanna Mendoza, (who said we can use their real names), cldennis94, kryshypp, LINgLoNw (who preferred that we use their user names), and two students who wished to remain completely anonymous.

Altogether, we are awarding $8,000, nine LSAT prep packages, and nine admissions consulting or editing packages.

To everyone who didn't win: thank you so much for your applications. All of you, without exception, will bring something unique and important to the legal profession. You rock.

We'll open applications for the 2022 7Sage 7k scholarship on April 1, and we encourage you to apply!

Just in case it helps anyone’s spirits, I struggled for 3 years with the LSAT and never got a high score. But I got into my top choice school and got straight A’s my first semester. Now I just have to keep my foot on the gas pedal.
