It's January test week. This is your opportunity to shine and show those law schools what you are made of. You are doing something that many people are not willing to do. You are taking a very difficult and important exam, so be proud of how much you have achieved thus far. I am nervous, I am sure you are nervous, but think of it as just another test. Do not let the pressure get to you. Block out all of the emotion and act like it's just another test. Forget the person proctoring you, watching you closely, you made it this far and you will do just fine. I have faith in you. Do not forget that a number does not define you. Don't let it define you. Whether it is your first LSAT or your fifth, prepare for that test with a positive mindset and press the submit button with pride, because on February 5th when January scores come out, you will get the score you were hoping for. Good luck everybody. YOU GOT THIS!!!

I don't know what I am doing wrong, or if I am just not smart enough for this test. I have been studying tirelessly on top of working full-time as a paralegal and being a mom of two. I have even hired a 7sage tutor and have now done 4 sessions with very little improvement. For context, my PTs prior to my November LSAT were in the high 140s. My actual score was 139 :/. I have been studying non-stop since and my PT scores are still 139! I don't understand, once I complete BR I can increase my score to 146. All I want is a 155+ for the January test so I can still apply this cycle. The test is 17 days away and I am no where near where I want to be.

I would love to hear how people have increased their score and what has worked for you in actually seeing PT scores increase...HELP!!

Hi everyone! I saw online yesterday that you need an external camera if you are taking the test remotely, I'm confused by this and want to see if anyone that has taken it at home can speak on this since it will be my first time. I was planning on testing on my macbook that has the built in camera, is this not allowed?

The LSAC applications ask for a list of "all educational institutions attended." I've taken a number of one-off classes at nearby colleges, some of which didn't count as college courses -- for instance, I participated in a six-week course about the publishing industry at Columbia (we didn't have grades and did little actual work) and did a six-month programming bridge course at NYU Tandon (lots of work, but the class was technically not accredited). Should I list "Columbia" and "NYU" as institutions attended? I don't want to imply that I got college credits from them.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to study sections based on the Powerscore Webinar recommendations. In the recommendations they refer to 'PT155 LRII' PT 155 has three LR sections, and the first one is expermintal. Does anyone know if they are referring to S2 or S4 of PT 155, given that S1 is expermintal and S3 is RC?

I am almost through the foundations section of the 7Sage curriculum. I do not understand lawgic and I am disappointed in myself. I decently understand it, however when we put it all together to draw valid conclusions, I get lost. Is this normal? Should I move on to the logical reasoning section or relearn everything in foundations?

Hello guys. Really need help here. I've been in a plateau of 165 for like 4 PTs already (1.5month)? So I stopped taking full length PTs but instead I just do timed drilling mainly on LR and RC for 2 weeks.(before I do drillings during weekdays and one full length on weekend) I saw some improvements from drilling practices, -2/-3 for each LR max and 0/-2 for LG. I am not sure is it because I had done those drilling questions before that when I read a statement from LR I can just directly formulate an answer and look for that answer in AC. So yesterday, I finally decided to take a full length to see my progress etc. (PT71) Though my score remained the same, my LR got so much more terrible, -5 and -6. RC was still the same, LG -3 (boo). And for LR my error is like everywhere(I was still able to formulate the answer after finishing the stem, but still). Before I was mainly getting inference and flaw incorrect, and now I just make mistakes here and there. (So I guess maybe I did improve on inference and flaw?) I am feeling so discouraged:( and anxiety overwhelmed as my test is in September. Sorry if I am writing like elementary, just don't even know how to express this. HELP @"Nicole Hopkins"

I am struggling now more than I imagined and I would like to know how I can improve or be introduced into how to study.

I would like to start this off by saying I am VERY grateful for my score, and know that a lot of people would do anything for it, so this should not come across as complaining.

I have plateaued right around 168, and would LOVE to break the 170 threshold before the January test. What have you done to break into the 170's? I know that with just 15 days before I sit, much of the work has already been done, but what could I do to get that final push?

If I do drill sets will I end up seeing some of these same exact questions on my practice exams, thus making my practice exams less accurate or realistic?

For context, I just started studying for the LSAT for the first time ever. Do you think following 7sage’s syllabus lessons in order is best, or if there is a specific lesson that I think should be a priority, does it matter if I skip to that section? Just don't want to feel lost and regret not following the syllabus lessons chronologically later on.

I will be spending a large part of my day tomorrow on the road driving back to my college. What are some possible ways to study while driving (in the safest way possible)? I was thinking podcast but I don't know which podcast I should use.

Last couple of days I've been having some technical difficulties where the time elapsed is randomly jumping several hours and when taking PTs my time runs out all the sudden.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Hi everyone, I could use some help figuring out how to best manage my resources!

So, I've gone through the 7Sage Fundamentals and Logic Reasoning sections. Currently, I'm going through the 7Sage reading section. On the side, I'm doing the PowerScore Logic Reasoning Bible so I don't forget any of the fundamentals from 7Sage. I've taken a diagnostic already a few months ago but haven't taken another one yet.

Can anyone help me figure out what are my next steps/how to maximize the practice tests? I want to be able to drill but not use any from tests that I'll ultimately use later for PTing. If it helps you help me, I'm looking to take the test sometime in late spring/summer next year.

Thanks in advance!!

A trend I'm noticing on my recent practice tests (in the last 2 months) is that most of the LR questions I miss have the Causal Reasoning tag. I've been working my butt off to try and improve on this type but for the life of me I can't seem to get any better. I've reread the Loophole's chapter on CausR, the PS Bibles, gone through the 7sage lessons, and have been drilling 5* causal reasoning questions multiple times a day with thorough reviews of the answers and yet I keep missing these questions when it comes to a practice test.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice to offer?

This is causing me a headache.

I was just wondering, what is a tip or trick that you used (or use) on the test that you found to be incredibly useful/helpful.

I struggle with knowing which PT's represent the actual difficulty that will be similar to that on test day. I took one practice test (early 100s) and got a crazy high score that did not feel representative of how I would do on test day as it felt noticeably easier. Can anyone tell me which PT's are closest to how hard the LSAT is in the current format?

Hi guys! I am a senior undergraduate student who just started studying for the LSAT. I want to make sure I am staying accountable on my study journey and thought to maybe see if anyone else was also just starting out.

I've been listening to the 7Sage podcast and really appreciated Henry's description of how he psyched himself up for PTs and tests. (Especially his description of looking himself in the mirror and calling himself a "logic predator.")

I've been loving Taylor Swift's "The Albatross" as a pump-up song. The chorus ("she is here to destroy you") is my "mantra," with the content of the verses neatly lining up with some logical fallacies/traps to avoid (in particular, the lines "a rose by any other name is a scandal" and "Wise men once said 'one bad seed kills the garden.'" But there are actually a bunch of phrases in there that are amusingly relevant to LSAT prep.)

This got me curious -- who else has a pump up song (or other media) that helps them get in the right mindset?

Serious question . How can you apply the read passage a first then eliminate / answer questions based on passages before going to passage b without taking more time to write down the options you do t like bc the law hub doesn’t allow you to cross out answer choices you don’t like o. Their interface the way seven sage provides the x. It makes me hesitant to employ that strategy when it seems like it would be more work to write down. All of the options you did not like as opposed to being able to x them out and definitively know how you feel. What do you guys do in this case or how do you theoretically approach that in your mind bc in mine it feels like it would be a waste of time and my 6 pages to have to list out all the options I didn’t choose .

hey i am writing the january lsat hoping to get 160 or higher ive gotten 156/ 157 160 and a 161 occasionally but mmost of the time scoring low 150s like 153 consistently. how do I score my upper range more consistently please help.

For those who have taken an official test before, what do you find works for you in the final weeks leading up to it? Do you stick with your study schedule, ramp things up, or take a break? Any suggestions??

And good luck to all those who are taking the January test!

Hi All! I'm new to using 7sage but I'm having some technical difficulties. When I review my drills I can see the answer I selected, and not which one is correct. Same with my prep tests. I'm sure it's just a setting I don't have enabled. Thanks!

Hey Im planning to take the LSAT in June and was hoping to find some others who would like to form a study group? If you aren’t in Tampa that’s fine too but would be cool to form a Tampa study group.

If I struggle with the context/strategy switching from one section type to another, is there a way to practice that other than the full length tests? Like if I wanted to do a 27Q RC and then a 26Q LR, or even two RC passages and then immediately go into the first 15 LR?

Seems like only option would be to start and not finish a prep test, but then it would mess up your analytics.
