Well I got my score back today and for the first time taking the official LSAT I received a 155. While I’m disappointed a bit because I was scoring in the 156-160 range on my PTs, I’m still proud of how much I have progressed from my diagnostic, and maybe I’ll take the test again this Fall and focus on my weak areas.

I'd like to start off by thanking the folks here at 7Sage. I initially started off with a 150 diagnostic, then a 158, then a 168, and now I am sitting here with a 173. I have been a tutor for 3 years and taught standardized testing myself to kids, but J.Y.'s commentaries and lessons here are fruitful in their straightforward, candid, and common-sense simplicity. It's thanks to him that I owe him this immense score and the beginning of my law school journey.

So I started at a 151 on the timed diagnostic LSAT, and I'm hoping to hit in the 163-167 range on the LSAT. I'm planning on taking both the July and September LSAT's (might as well right?) and I've been studying for over a month now. I feel more confident for sure -- I'm just finishing up LR and I'm missing on average about 3-5 questions per LR section now instead of starting off missing 11 questions on the diagnostic. Did anyone start like me, and what's your success story with 7Sage? Everytime I read a success story it gives me a huge confidence boost that I'm doing the right thing, and I'm sure there are a lot of other people who feel the same way. Post away! (If you want).

Anyone in the IE also studying for the LSAT? Leave a comment with contact info if you're interested in making a study group!

Hi everyone! anyone in the bay/ norcal looking for a study buddy/ maybe forming a study group?

I started out doing really good on weakening questions. When the strengthening questions came into play, they were a bit more difficult. Now that they are intermixing, I am extremely overwhelmed and confused. Any tips?

I plan to take the lsat in April and probably again in June or August 2025. I am looking for people on the same track to meet virtually to push each other to do well come test day!

Would love to meet up with some OC people to study! I am looking at taking in summer.

Hello- if your taking the lsat in fall of 2024 , comment your GroupMe so we can get a group

Hello,

I dropped by 2 points the second time I took my LSAT. Neither score are ones I am happy with, idealing wanting to jump at least 8 points. Should I risk taking a third time? What if I get even worse the third time around or they see three rounds of no improvement? Not sure what to do!

Anyone else having this issue? I have been trying to load PT142 for ages and it just doesn't work?

Thank you 7Sage for helping me improve my LSAT Score by 16 points! Utilize all that they have to offer, it works!

I'm having trouble translating without claims back into english after using logic. For example:

"There can be no rule of law without individual freedom"

Negate sufficient: ROL ---> IF

But when I read this back to myself, how would I frame it?

"If there is rule of law, then there is individual freedom?" Is that what would work here? Please help!!!

I almost always do considerably better on the experimental section than on the scored one. Generally speaking, improvement is still happening on LR questions, but it's infuriating for my scores to be somewhat static because I do better on the unscored section. Anybody else experienced this and/or found a fix for it? Is the experimental easier?

Anyone local want to study? I can be anywhere in LA also

Hi! Just curious -- the "you try" lessons seem to pop-up hours or days after I've already completed a section of the syllabus. Is that normal or am I going crazy?

Hey guys, I just made my account and started studying for the lsats and I'm a little lost. I plan on taking the test either late this year or early next year, can I get some tips or advice to make my studying easier please? Thanks!

Hi! Does anyone want to peer review personal statements, if applying this cycle? Let me know! :)

Hi hi!

It is officially the last week of the February 2025 LSAT and I have been receiving mixed advices of what to do in this last week. Some say do around 2 timed sections per day and don't do anything the day before the test, and some other say keep it chill, do at most one section per day or drills, don't do too much.

I am kinda lost, and I don't really know what is "too much" or "too little," so I would appreciate any advices, thoughts, or past experience on this. Thank you and good luck to whoever is taking it this month!!!

Hi everyone- I am currently going through the foundation section of the curriculum and I am now under the Conditional and Set Logic portion. Is it necessary going through the entire foundation curriculum before going into LR. Since there is so many question types in LR I was hoping to learn a new LR type each Monday and focus heavy on identifying the question type, breaking it down and answering it.

Am I wasting time? It has been very helpful but I wanted to know if you all went straight through it or bounced around... for time purposes. I am hoping to take the test in April, but may push back to June.

Looking for a study partner.

When is too early to ask for a letter of recommendation? There is a certain teacher I would like to ask, and it would make sense for me to ask for one now instead of later. However, I am unsure if it could be deemed too early, or if I will need to reach out to the recommender when submitting my application to have them submit their portion.

Hey everyone, I'm scoring around low 160s and having a lot of trouble with Flaw/Descriptive Weakening questions. Even after reviewing the core lessons, I'm having trouble identifying an approach beyond this test: "1) descriptively accurate 2) describing the flaw." I feel like this approach is vague, and it rarely singles out an answer for me. Anyone have some tricks they can share for approaching those 4/5 star Flaw questions? Thanks.

My current University GPA is a 3.94 which could basically get me into any law school if my other factors are good enough. The only problem is that I took dual credit courses in high school that will lower my LSAC GPA to a 3.7. I started dual credit my freshman year of high school, so I was only 15 years old when I earned the majority of these poor grades. Any reasonable person could assume that the bad grades I made when I was 15 and fresh out of middle school do not reflect my performance as a law student/lawyer, especially considering that my university GPA is a 3.9. Complaining aside, my genuine question is: will law schools take this into consideration? Or will they just look at my 3.7 and immediately dismiss me?

I know a 3.7 can still get me into law school but all my dream schools have 3.8 or 3.9 medians. I'm feeling extremely discouraged because I totally forgot about these dual credit grades until now. I've been studying extra hard to meet these schools median LSATs and now it feels kind of pointless. Any insight into the brains of admissions councils will help!!
