Hi,
I was wondering if any of y'all have any tips on how to practice for the four section August LSAT?
I know that the experimental section could be any of LR, RC, or LG, but the regular tests on 7Sage only have 2 LR sections. I want to get as much practice in with the additional fourth section and mix in RC, LR, and LG to see if/how my score fluctuates depending on the additional section.
Would appreciate any tips on what's working for y'all :)
If you're registered for the June LSAT FLEX, log in to ProctorU to schedule your day/timeslot now!
As of this post, dates/times appeared to be available from Saturday, June 12 ~ Tuesday, June 15.
Best wishes, everyone! :)

UPDATE:
If this is your 1st time taking the Flex, you might need to work around the system to schedule early:
I forgot that this is what I did several months before, and it worked for me then! :)
Not sure if this is applicable for international registrants, but can't hurt to try. I'm sure there will be plenty of slots available tmr, regardless!
Aiming for mid 150 and I suck at LR. I guess questions 20-25 and place hold all the NA and SA questions between 1-19 and do those at the end. This way I can focus on the questions that I am good at between 1-19. I am trying to allow myself to get no more than 10 wrong in LR and usually get -12 or -13
For all of my LR sections, I always get NA and SA questions wrong.
Does anyone have any tricks on how to master NA and SA? Even NA being Q3 being easy I still struggle with I do not understand the framework. Getting these right will allow me to break into -10 or even -9
Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to attack an LR section differently? I tried the loophole but do not see the powerful/provable method being of much help to me personally
Any help is appreciated
Hey! I'm an R&R from last cycle looking to make a higher score on August than I did last year. My PTs are in the low/mid 160s maxing out into 170s (i have a lot of inconsistency issues). I'm looking for some chill people to hop on discord or zoom with and just go over sections together up until the August exam. I did this last year and found some great people to study with so I'm hoping for a repeat of that! A little bit about myself - I just graduated from undergrad (am 21), and I'm currently essentially studying full time. Because of this my schedule is super open so I'm down to study late nights, early mornings, whatever works. My LG is the only thing I have "mastered" so I expect to mostly try covering RC/LR sections, though I'd be glad to run thru some LG every now and then!
Thinking of postponing the June LSAT to Aug, which will be my second time doing so (I was signed up for April and didn't take it), but I honestly don't know which will be worse. I'm in such a spiral of self-doubt and self-hatred I feel like I need a second opinion.
I wasted the two months leading up to the April LSAT with a tutor who didn't help, and what's worse, wasted many of the newer PTs because I was told to take 2-3 a week before I had even grasped the concepts. I had a mild freakout a week before the test in April and postponed to June, thinking I could take a couple of weeks off and go back to studying with refreshed eyes and brain.
Well, it's two months later, I've slept, ate, and breathed the LSAT, I actually dream about it, and yet my PT scores haven't increased one single point, and I'm beginning to think I'm regressing on sections like LG that I thought I had down pretty well, having panic attacks and making dumb mistakes. My LG score hovers around the same, and my RC score is only better when I give myself unlimited time.
Worse still, whether I take the June LSAT or not, it will be the last Flex. My score definitely suffers when have four sections to deal with instead of three (I know this from taking LawHub tests vs. 7Sage simulated flexes). I could take the June LSAT, think of it as practice, get a bad score, and cancel it as it's my first and I have that option. But then what if I take August LSAT and the jump from 3-4 sections completely ruins me, and either way I don't get the score I want?
I'm 36 years old and I really don't have the benefit of spending years studying for this and applying. I've made so many mistakes in my life I just want to do something right, get a good LSAT score, and move on. But now I'm thinking that, like everything else I've tried, this just isn't in the cards for me and I should give up. Basically, I know there is no way I'll get the score I want on the upcoming June LSAT, but I'm frozen with fear and doubt about what else to do.
Please help!
Hi everyone,
I registered on ProctorU this morning to schedule a testing time, and am having a lot of issues with testing my equipment. I use Google Chrome as my browser, but it will not allow me to enable ProctorU extension. Further, proctorU keeps telling me to install the newer version, but it is up to date and current. I read on reddit that others have had this issue, and tried Firefox instead. I downloaded Firefox and re-tested my equipment. Using Firefox, I passed all of the tests, but Firefox does not allow ProctorU access to my CPU/RAM information. I have not had CPU/RAM issues in the past, and am currently using a 2017 MacBook Air with 11.1 MacOS Big Sur.
My question is whether anyone else has had issues with ProctorU testing using the Chrome browser on a Mac? Should I be concerned with the inability to test CPU/RAM on ProctorU?
Appreciate any feedback, and good luck.
I've been studying for about two months and registered for June LSAT. When I started studying, RC was the hardest section for me. After about one month I saw significant improvement on my RC section. However, lately my RC score dropped again and this time I almost got all these difficult questions right but constantly miss the ones marked as difficulty level 1 or 2. What's worse is that I don't think I got them wrong because of misreading or something, but because I genuinely didn't understand these questions. I really don't know what's going on. Has anyone been through the same experience? I would really appreciate some advice!
I am scheduled for the June test and just completed a prep test yesterday. I am always content with my LG score and my RC has gotten better. However, I got 14 wrong on the LR section. It seems like LR has gotten worse for me. 14 wrong?? Im in need of useful tips or strategies I can implement in these next two weeks as it is the one thing keeping me from my goal score.
Can someone that knows about games help me do this one in a stacked way? JY explains it in a linear way which is not how it is presented and I am confused on how to do it. Thank you.

Can anyone explain to me when to use a blocking or bridging NA, I always find myself getting easier NA questions wrong bc I'm zeroed in on the conclusion and if there is a bridge AC I assume its a Sufficient Assumption AC and it's therefore it's not necessarily true. Then in difficult questions I tend to zero into the conclusion and end up getting those right, but not all the time. I guess my hesitance on bridging is I don't want to mistakenly pick an SA AC but at the same time I know that sometimes the right answer to and NA question can be both a SA and NA. Can anyone tell me when it's okay to pick a bridging AC? and also how something can be sufficient and necessary at the same time? Thank you in advance!
Wondering what others feel is the right time to call it a day grinding LG sections. If I manage to get -0 on almost every section I try, did I "do it"? Like am I done studying? What if I get -0 on the majority I attempt, but there are still many sections that I haven't attempted?
Hello 7Sage neighborhood,
Does anyone have advice on how to seek out legal volunteering & internship opportunities in your local area. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
Happy studying --
I am aiming at 155. I can't complete 4 games in time constrain. Should I skip the most difficult one ?
Up until this point I've only taken 4 section prep test to harden my mental endurance. The June LSAT is flex. My question is: should I do my final week of prep test with 4 sections? Or should I simulate the flex? What are other peeps doing?
I am scheduled for the June test in about 2 weeks, and I am stuck at a score ranging from 156-158. I average -3 to -4 on LG and -9 on RC, however my LR score varies so much and not in a good way. Im in need of ways to get just a handful more questions right on LR to get my score to the 160s :/ Any tips or help is appreciated
Hi everyone! Since the June flex is coming up, just wanted to ask anyone and everyone if you all have tips to make sure everything goes smoothly on test day (to the extent that we can control) and/or tips to keep your cool the week leading up to it. Any guidance will be much appreciated, since this will be my first LSAT. Thanks all :)
When is 7sage going to integrate the 3 + 1 Format of the August 2021 and beyond to the testing software? I think it would really advantage students for real test scenario?
I'm fairly good at LSAT and can pretty much -0 my way in any section on a good day. The moment the timer goes on, it can drop to as low as -11. I've been at this for 10 months; full-time devotion and looking back, I feel grossly disappointed in myself. This was the first time I really took a chance on myself; committed 100% to something. Yet, my score doesn't improve. I'm running out of PTs. I haven't had a good sleep since I started about a year ago {because that's how bad I want it }and now I feel like it's slipping out of my hands. How do you decide, "I'll just settle with what I have and take the test?" I'm not too sure because the timed sections aren't representative of my potential-but the reality is that it's a timed exam with added test day pressure.
Hi! This is mainly a question out of curiosity: Are there multiple different versions of the test each month? Like, will some people taking the June LSAT get a more difficult RC while others have a harder LG section, etc.?
Question: what can we conclude "virtually" to mean in this context? Can I conclude that there is at least one proposal that the so-called environmental group did not raise objections to? What is the opposite in LSAT world to "virtually?"

So... past two weeks got into the high 160s, Last PT hit a high of 172.
LR was once my strongest section, I’ve honed LR and RC to be more reliable and better scoring now however.
I’ve noticed some patterns reviewing recent LR Sections for me. The main being that I always seem to get incredibly stuck and destroyed by one of the easiest questions on the test according to the curve. I’ll get anywhere between -1 to -5 very variable. But invariably among the misses will be one of these questions.
I’ll find a few behaviors/patterns on these questions. They tend to be early, within the first 12 questions, as early as the 2nd or 3rd. It usually tends to be between two answer choices (usually one is the right one too). I end up spending too much time, crossing out all the other answers, flagging it and moving on to keep pace. On my 2nd round I return to it, then come back and still feel unsure about BR. Then when I get to the explanation JY kinda explains that the other answer choice is obviously bad and just scratches it out (lol I get it its a lot of answer choices on the test, but I’m dumb and dont get it, pls help me).
I can’t seem to find a rhyme or reason, they’re different question types etc. What could I be missing? Just more study?
For those curious, here’s a couple examples of the questions I’m talking about missing.

🙏🏼 thanks to anyone who has any words or advice in advance
Hi,
I have an lsac prep plus account which I bought with this 7sage account. However, I created another 7sage account when i forgot the password to this account. I am getting red boxes on the new account that "your account must be linked to an active LSAC LSAT Prep Plus account to access licensed materials. Link your account to continue your access".
Since I still have a subscription to the LSAC LSAT Prep Plus with my old 7sage account, I do not want to buy a new one with my new 7sage account. Is there anyway to resolve this discrepancy?

Hi y'all, I've been seeing a tutor on a weekly basis for the last few weeks, and while it has been beneficial to work through difficult questions with someone, I don't know if it's "worth it". Typically my tutor and I go through questions that I missed in my most recent PT but I'm wondering if there are better ways to utilize that time.
What do you all do during tutoring sessions? Is there something that you found more useful than reviewing missed questions?
Hey y'all,
I'm wondering if any of you have tips or strategies on how to manage test anxiety while taking the test. I feel like as soon as I realize that my pace is too slow on a certain section, my heart rate goes up, I don't think as clearly, and that's all she wrote. TYIA 🙌🏻
I've been studying for the LSAT on-and-off for over two years now. I work full-time, and by the time I get home I am already too emotionally and mentally checked out to actually focus on studying. I have not taken a prep test since February because after receiving my January score back, I decided I needed to approach the LSAT differently. I decided to hold off on applying for another year, so I am really hoping to apply for Fall 2022. I feel pretty stuck right now. I have been thinking about quitting my full-time job to study full-time. For those that have and/or currently working full-time and still managing to find the mental and emotional capacity to study, what does your schedule and/or strategy look like?
For context, I am a social worker with CPS so you can imagine how much that can impact my mental state after a full-day of work. My typical day looks as given: 6am-get ready for work, 7am-drive an hour to work, 8am-5pm-work, 5pm drive back an hour home, 6:30-7:30 gym. Can I study before and/or after work? Sure, but my day doesn't always run on the same schedule since the job itself can hold me after regular work hours, thus shifting my entire schedule. Can I just find a new job that doesn't cause so much stress? Yes, but I'd have to go through all the orientation/trainings etc only to stay for less than a year (assuming I get accepted in FA2022). Asking for advice before making a final decision on either staying or leaving my job to study. Thanks!
