Hey guys are all scores released today? I just did my LSAT writing two days ago

How does one get better at designing their CLIR? This isn’t 7Sage related per say but a few folks here have used or do use Loopholes by Ellen Cassidy and I need help on designing my CLIRs. It’s so hard to answer my “WHAT IF”. I can outline the conclusion, and categorize but I just get lost when I have to connect the dots. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all,

Canadian LSAT taker here.

So my first LSAT score wasn't really ideal (154) and I'm hoping that with the help of 7Sage this time I can get a better score. My question is, do you see any harm in applying this cycle given the fact that the application deadline for my top choice is on Dec 2nd? Even if I get a good score, do I even have a chance or is it too late since admission offers are sent out on a rolling basis?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ❤️

So I took both the October and November LSATs, in October I got a 155 and Nov I got a 150. I'm trying to decide what to do now. Should I sign up for the January LSAT and take that to get my score higher? Or should I apply with my score now. For reference I am applying to schools in D.C., Boston, Utah, and California. Some people have told me to email admissions offices and ask them what I should do. Is that the best course of action? Thanks!

Has anyone experienced a significant drop in their rewrite???! I’m in complete disbelief. I was scoring 150s leading up to test day and for the last few months and did not sleep well the night before the November lsat. Still, I thought I managed alright and was expecting a modest 148 increase with my terrible sleep. I woke up this morning to see 144...I don’t know what to do. I have already finished the 18 applications I wanted this year and feel like I am now a complete reject for all law schools because of this dip. I was honestly expecting a 150 which could’ve very well made my chances okay due to my extra curriculars. If I rewrite, January will constitute my 4th rewrite. Any advice?? I’m just so upset with myself. The lsat is not how my brain works. I understand my scores sucks to a lot of people, but I have an extensive discretionary background that got me waitlisted at 4/13 schools I applied to last year with a 146. But now this...I’m contemplating whether I can even come out of this with any hope. Even if I get 150+ in January. I feel as though schools will view the dip negatively...

I have the loophole, but quit after the explanations just confused me. Any other suggestions on books to add to my regime? Particularly to improve LR.

Thanks!

Hello everyone! It has been months since I came back to 7sage :)

I was preparing for LSAT for three months earlier this year, but I did not have enough improvement as much as I wanted ( I was too hasty), tried to get help somewhere else, and had a really bad experience there. -- I learned how important it is to be in an inclusive community after being shout at my face that I don't deserve anything... I needed to take a break at that point.

Now, I want to studying LSAT again after putting aside all the bad memories.

Do you have any advise for getting back? Probably start with the core curriculum again?

At the end, I just want to believe myself that I deserve to be whatever I want.

I hope you do so too :)

My June-Flex score was a 167, my most recent november was a 156. I was really sick on the day of the test, but based off of what everyone said on forums that I looked up everyone was just saying don't cancel it or whatever. Could this significantly hurt my chances at some schools? I'm applying to some top 20 schools. Also would writing an addendum help in this situation?

Congrats to everyone receiving their scores and no matter what, we made it through! I also received my score today but I am a little bummed because I wanted a higher score. I wanted to come on here because I don't really know what to do. I got a 161 and I have a 3.88 gpa, my top school is BU and I am below their median but scholarship money is something I really need. However, I did some googling and saw that people were accepted and offered money with my similar stats. Should I go through this all again by taking the Jan Lsat or should I take my chances?

Hi all, I'm disappointed to see I scored two points lower on my Nov re-take (first take in Oct). Anyone else scored lower this time around? It's so weird because I honestly thought I did at least a point or two better...

I know admissions takes highest score but does our lower score ding us in some way? I feel like it looks kinda bad not to do better with even more study time. Dang!

First PT since the Nov test. Run up to the test was 174, 169, 172, 171... please baby jesus let me have hit this stride before the test.

What time do scores come out tomorrow?

I signed up for the LSAT in Jan but it made me sign up for a physical testing site. I'm assuming they'll circle back because its Flex. How does this work? Do I just wait until LSAC emails me? Any idea when that'll be?

How do you consistently get -1 (or -0) on recent LG (~70s)? I now linger somewhere around -4 ~ -0 on recent tests because at times there is an odd question stimulus, a completely time-sink for me (which often takes me 12-15 min to tackle it).

I am hesitating what should be my primary focus: drill those bizarre, hard time sinks, or other easier ones to bank more time (so I could have more time to tackle a hard one of a given section) ?

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I want to take the Jan LSAT and wanted to know if you think is doable. Im not working right now, so I can study full time.

Im not new with the LSAT

I appreciate any suggestion.

Hi guys, I finished CC and I've started taking PTs about 2 week ago. I noticed that in order to keep up with the study schedule, I sometimes only have 1 day between PTs. I would like to have more time to review- i.e. go back to certain CC lessons to review my weak points but since I usually only had 1 day in between PTs, it's really hard for me to have time to review.

I'm worried that if I keep trying to keep up with the study schedule and take all the PTs, I will end up running out of PTs while not really having enough time to review my weak spots. I really don't want to waste PTs. What should I do? Should I still try to keep up with the study schedule at this point? Or should I try to space it out so that I have time to review?

Fyi, I'm planning to take the April 2021 test.

Thank you all in advance for your help :')

Hi everyone - 7Sage recently updated some of the target times listed for logic games. They used to be just JY's recommended times (10min, 6min, etc), but now it's more specific and according to @"Theo --Student Service--": "The system calculates your target time based on collected data from top scorers." https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/25465/explanation-vids-now-showing-target-times

I've noticed that for some sections, the total of the 4 games target times exceeds 35 minutes. For example, for PT17 & 21. Just an FYI to be careful since even if you meet the targets, the overall section will still be over 35 minutes.

Is there anyone who’s scoring between high 150’s and low 160’s that would like to meet up weekly to BR prep tests? My goal is to consistently score in the high 160’s and get in the 170’s by then!

Okay so in this one I chose AC A at first glance, but after spending 20 minutes trying to understand why A is wrong I think I've finally got it.

A) Some babies utter individual words that they do not understand

I understand that we don't actually know if the conditional is true because it's nested, and since with most answer choices there are often multiple reasons why a wrong one is wrong. I tried to start looking for any reason and came up with the following: dictionary definition (in the conclusion) vs. do not understand (in AC A)

In my mind I was inferring that 'these babies do not understand words' FROM the statement that 'clearly there are people who do not know the dictionary definition of some words they utter'.

I understand why AC E is right but need clarification on if this shift is a valid reason for crossing off AC A. Maybe there are babies who do understand without knowing the actual dictionary definition.

One last question: are questions with the stem 'which follows logically' an MBT question? I sort of saw this as a soft assumption question but wasn't able to categorize it in my mind. If someone could clarify what this type of question is that would be very helpful. Thank you!

I've taken the LSAT-flex twice. I already have one recent writing sample on file and I'm happy with it.

Still, is there any benefit to completing a second? Does anyone know if schools, on average, have a preference for one or more samples?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hey y'all, I am curious if anyone has any guesses as to whether the LSAT will ever return to in-person testing. I had a horrible experience with the LSAT-Flex in October, and I cannot guarantee that I will not face the same issues in the January, February or April-Flex. What do you think?

Please share any blogs/podcasts/etc. you came across that address this question - I would really appreciate it!

Hello everyone I started studying for the LSAT at the beginning of this month. Since I don't work I have been completing 25-30 hours of 7sage core curriculum which usually takes longer than that. I will be starting a new job and I will be working from home starting December. The fellowship is closely aligned to my interests in Environmental Law. But I will be having less time to study now. I have ADHD so I feel like the LSAT flex gives me an advantage since having to take the test in a room with other people distracts me a lot and would have an effect on my score. If I have to push my testing date and application cycle then I will. But I would just like input in how many hours I should be doing now but still be on track to hopefully take the flex next year. Or study schedules that have worked for you while working full time?

Does anyone know when the November Scores are going to be released? Want to see if I need to sign up the January LSAT or not

Looking for a study buddy to share this journey with :).
