Hi everyone, Im looking to join/find a study buddy/group to keep me accountable. We could zoom/facetime. Im on Central standard time zone. Im JUST staring to study, not sure what test Im aiming for yet, probably Aug-Sep. Anyone interested?

So far I have only taken the diagnostic and am half way through intro to logic on the syllabus. When should I start taking full length practice tests? I do not want to waste them if I am not ready... thanks #help

On the logic games, I am SLOW. I've been working on them combining 7sage and the PowerScore Logic Games bible. What I am finding is I either have great accuracy and can complete like 1 to 1.5 games or I am able to complete them faster, but my accuracy suffers. Is this a hurdle to improvement or am I pushing for more speed than I am ready for at this point. For context, I am taking the LSAT in April, so I don't have forever to study.

how long is your writing sample "good for" before you need re-do it?

I don't know much about this and was wondering if someone could fill me in on how competitive this current cycle is vs. how competitive the next cycle is supposed to be? have LSAT scores been higher with the flex/how is 4 sections expected to change that?

Hey guys, I'm currently prepping for the August LSAT, PTing in the mid 160's, and looking to break well into the 170s. I'm studying full-time and looking for someone who would be down to meet up (via Zoom or FaceTime) once a week to BR a PT together consistently-- ideally with someone scoring in a similar range.

If you're in a similar situation and are interested in working together, please feel free to shoot me a DM! :)

it seems my initial choice is usually the right choice. when i go to do blind review i second guess myself and pick something different. I am also doing worse on my diagnostic tests. I am wondering of this is a normal part of the process or I am just regressing and doing something wrong

Is it okay or even wise to let a school know that they're your first choice and you would withdraw your other apps if accepted (via email or during an interview)? For reference, its a state school with around 65% in-state population and I'm OOS with loose ties. Thanks for your insight!

I'm on my first run through the LG part of the CC. I'm having some trouble in the later stuff (In/Out with sub-categories, etc) and LG timing in general. Should I stop and make sure all of those practice sets are 100% within time, or should I finish the CC, do a PT, and see what I still need to work on?

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?

Hey everyone! I'm finishing up my resume right now and just wondering if I should mention the pandemic as the reason for my unemployment? Post-graduation I tried to find full time work during a gap year to study for the LSAT, but the pandemic cut that search short and I instead remained unemployed while studying for the test instead. Opinions?

Can someone please explain why D is right and E is wrong?

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.

When is the last possible test date you can write this year so you can apply to start law school in Sept? (Canada)

I was wondering if we wanted to start a post/thread on all the funny/crazy things JY has said on the explanation videos? A little something to make us laugh during the limited-human-interaction we've had during Covid and maybe learn something in the process.

Weak areas are Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension (mostly the latter.)

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.

Hi all,

I'm offering free tutoring for people scoring in the 150s and low 160s. I'm most open to helping with LR but would be happy to help with some LG and RC as well. I'd like to take one or two students in for a weekly session. Message me if interested!

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

So I got 171 in last Flex, but my GPA is like real low and ppl with170+ really increased a lot since Flex. Scholarship and location are not any issue if I can get into a T14. And I wonder if I can't be accepted by a T14, can I get into school like UCLA or UT-Austin?

Any opinion will be appreciated!
