Hi everyone! I noticed that in LR, I will have 2 or three questions unanswered because I run out of time. Anyone have any tips on improving timing and completing questions?

Hi! I submitted my applications but I'm planning on retaking the LSAT in January. I would like to be considered with my current score to take advantage of having an earlier application. Do schools look at it negatively when you ask them to review your current score? I'm worried that my target/safety schools will see it as a sign that I'm prioritizing other schools and I'm not sure what to say in the email.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to echo what others have said about 7Sage. It has been an immense help during my struggle with this test! There were times I thought I could not get over this hurdle. I was crushed, I had anxiety, I thought my dreams of attending law school would never be realized. It too every ounce of resolve to defeat this test once and for all.

You know it's tough, for others on the outside to comprehend what we all put ourselves through. The stress is real and you all understand that! I cannot thank you guys in the community enough for helping me through this. I am usually a lurker, and do not post often like so many of you, but it has nevertheless been amazing to be surrounded by so many dedicated individuals.

To JY, I owe you many thanks. Your countless video explanations along with your dry and witty sense of humor made the journey a little more enjoyable. I am sitting at the airport waiting to return home, drinking a blood orange IPA, and it feels good to sit bac kind reflect on my journey.

Thank you to all and god bless 7Sage! I hope you all have a great night, crush the LSAT, and get into the school of your dreams. It's not about the score, it's about your journey. Wow that's a cliché. But the thing about clichés is... they are usually true!

I'm really struggling with trying to intuitively figure out if conditionality is relevant to the flaw for the argument at hand. There are certain stimuli that include conditional indicators that seem to be linked together. When this happens, I immediately go and try to diagram it, to try to see if there is in fact conditional reasoning. Sometimes, I am correct and there is conditional reasoning that deals with the flaw. However, there are many more times when I am incorrect and I end up spending so much time trying to force a diagram. I'm struggling to zoom on the gap in my understanding. I thought I had a solid understanding of conditional reasoning, but clearly it's not the case. Has anyone run into this issue before? Any advice is welcomed. Thanks!

Not sure if this is a thing on these forums, but is anyone interested in swapping personal statements for feedback? I'm looking for general feedback plus a quick check for typos and am happy to do the same for someone else.

does anyone know how many questions you can skip and still get 170+ on the flex?

I've been studying for the past 10 months and have improved from a 145 to a 157. Upon finishing the core curriculum, I began taking PTs and blind reviewed as JY suggests. My issue is that I consistently score in the high 150s timed but also consistently score in the high 170 in BR. My biggest challenge by far is time management, which seems to mess up my flow and cause me to make significantly more unenforced errors. While working full-time at a law firm in NYC, I usually study 20 hours a week and take one PT every weekend. I hope to break into the 160 in the next few weeks.

If you are interested in joining a study group please DM me/comment below. If you are tutor or just want to reinforce the concepts you have learned by teaching them to someone else, please feel free to DM me. If you have experience as a tutor and also have successfully helped someone achieve a 170+, I would be open to paying for tutoring. Recommendations for tutors also welcome!

Hey everyone,

Has anyone recently had an interview at UChicago, and if so, do you have any tips for what kinds of questions to prepare for? I have seen previous lists of interview questions, but they all appeared to be from several years ago, so I was wondering if anyone had more recent info. Thanks!

I’ve been reading posts about now some people have gotten LSAT Flex scores lower than their practice test averages. I got a 155, but was PTing at 163-165 range. I felt the reading section (bipedalism) and logic games were tricky. LR felt standard for me. Do you guys have any advice on how to approach studying? What should I do to get a score around my PT range?

I got a 164 on the November LSAT Flex and I am debating whether or not to cancel my score. I purchased the Score Preview option and have until tonight to decide. I was aiming for mid 170s but panicked on test day and did not perform as well as I could have based on PTs. I know a 164 is considered a great score for a lot of people, which makes me hesitate to cancel it (also I am really sorry if this is a super annoying post), but it is much lower than what I was aiming for and I will definitely take it again sometime next year. I am almost positive I can do better, especially if I continue studying. What do you guys think I should do?

Hey! I am so lost on this question. "A society that has no laws has no crimes." Isn't "no" negate necessary, so that would become, in lawgic speak, L- -> C? (The no when it goes to negates "no crimes" becomes "crimes" in the positive sense. Then, why is AC A not correct?

Hi all! I wanted to post one last time to the forum to offer my gratitude to 7Sage and well wishes for those who are still studying. This program was instrumental in getting me the score I aimed for (146 --> 167). I just got accepted to UGA and am waiting to hear back on eight others. I just want to encourage everyone to keep up the hard work and offer help to anyone who feels they could use some guidance (e.g. on tough LR questions you can't parse, LG tricks, or just a friend to vent to). I'm honestly a little sad to no longer be studying, so don't hesitate to throw questions/thoughts my way. I know how tough this process can be, and just want to do my part and make it a little easier. My access to 7Sage expires in 5 days, so the best way to reach me will be through: dmarwh0@gmail.com.

Good luck to everyone! You got this =)

Hi all! I am taking the LSAT in February 2021 and am applying for Fall 2021. I checked the application deadlines and many schools I am looking at are not due until May/June/July, but do you think taking the test in the same year as applying has implications to admission, other than less time to raise my score? Thank you!

Dear All Future Test Takers,

I am trying to start a study group for the upcoming January 2021 LSAT Flex exam.

We are able to do it via Zoom call.

Let me know which days everyone is free and which works best for us so we can get started.

I noticed that the way the core curriculum is structured has you taking one diagnostic PT very early on, and then has you complete the entire course before taking another PT (and then at that point, it's just PT after PT until you run out).

Is this the actual recommended way to study? Would it not be beneficial to sprinkle in a few PTs throughout the core curriculum to see how you're progressing?

Curious how you all have tailored your 7Sage and LSAT studies to fit your needs, and would love to hear what worked best for you (or if the 7Sage prescribed path is in fact the most fruitful method). Thanks!

Hi, I posted on here before talking about free group tutoring, especially in LR (see post linked below!)

I wanted to let everyone know (and possibly some new people as well) that the time/topic has been finalized!

The group session will on Wednesday 12/2 noon/12pm GMT+9, or 10pm EST. It should go on for around 1.5-2, or so, and I'm going to be covering, roughly, the following topics:

Afterwards, I'll be going through an entire LR section and talking through my approach. If you want to follow along, please have PT20 S1 in hand.

Join the following zoom link @noon/12pm GMT+9, or 10PM EST!

Hey guys,

I am currently averaging a -4 to -2 in LG. I have been in this range for two months now. Do you have any tips on how you overcame this hurdle? I think I scored a -0 only once ever. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

So I took the November LSAT for the first time and scored a 159. I had been studying part time after work and on the weekends since mid June, so I probably put in a solid 3-4 months of study for about 8-10 hours a week. I was scoring 161-163 in practice tests and feel that I could still improve. I feel like I'm under too much pressure to apply this cycle but am worried about waiting another year due to my age.

Been working full time the last 4 years in project management in commercial construction.

Does anyone have any thoughts or have been in a similar situation?

Hi there,

I am an LSAT tutor and former 7Sager that regularly scores in the 175 area and I'm looking to help people out by offering a free Zoom class! I know games is the hardest section to be naturally adept at, so I will teach you guys some of the tricks that I use and teach my students.

Date and time are Monday the 30th, 7pm Eastern

DM for Zoom link

This discussion is for those who are feeling overwhelmed in the process of studying and preparing for the LSAT.

I started with a 129 diagnostic mid-October, I have about six weeks left until the January LSAT and I've improved to a 152 today.

I remind myself it's okay to take a mental break and recoup, keep practicing, stay strong, and don't forget to breathe!

I am aiming for a 170.

I wanted to make sure I was doing correctly, are we supposed to BR every question immediately after done or just the ones we had troubled/skipped?

Hi all! I'm looking for an RC tutor. I feel like this is the one section I cannot improve on despite almost a year of studying and I think I'd benefit from some help.

Hello 7sagers!

@Christopherr and I have been working on a project for you. Given that the May 2020 LSAT-FLEX is now up on 7sage, we know that students will be taking it in preparation for the January LSAT administration. It will still be a little while until the official 7sage explanation videos are up, but we want students to have a reliable way to have their questions about the PT answered in the meantime.

So, @Christopherr and myself both took the May-2020 FLEX under timed conditions and blind reviewed the test. Christopher has written out explanations for every question and answer choice from the RC section, and I have done the same for the LR section. Attached below are links to all of the explanations. Both documents have an outline that can be opened from the column on the left side of the document. This will allow you to select the particular question or passage you want to look at without having to scroll through the entire document.

Hopefully these will help some students who are struggling with some of the confusing language in this PT. If you have any questions about any of the explanations feel free to post them below or shoot either Christopher or myself a DM!

LR Explanations Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d3nrTS7Pe4pE7j5c8O60uJwtf7-vrUsg_aakivEH0zY/edit?usp=sharing

Don’t forget to give @Christopherr a big “thank you” for all his work with the RC section on this test. That was a beast!

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to a new Mac with the silicon M1 chip. Any tech-savvy people know if I might have any issues with proctor U? I've heard that some software has issues because of the new chips

hey everyone, i had a question about writing an addendum in regards to your lsat score.

if you have a score that is 90th percentile or above, but you do not meet the median for the school to which you are applying (for example if you are applying to it as a reach school) is it acceptable to write an addendum? or would that seem like you are just making up a reason for not meeting their median?

thank you :)
