So you didn't score how you wanted to on the August Flex, and you're feeling discouraged?

That's alright.

I want to share a little quote-perhaps a corny one, but a meaningful one no less- from the Rocky movie: "It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."

Maybe your score delt you a blow, but that's not going to define you. What's much more important, is how you respond to that blow, how you proceed from here.

So dig deep and remember why you set out on this difficult path. Why you dared to dream to be a god damn attorney. Remember what you've been through already and let that fuel you, let it push you forward.

Let's get back up, and let's crush the ever living shit out of this test, and let's manifest those dreams.

Does anyone know of a good reading comprehension tutor? This seems to be the one section I can't seem to master and would love for someone to help me figure out how to improve on this section.

I'm looking for an RC study partner or 2 where we go over at least 1 passage in depth every other night leading up to the October exam so we can all become more consistent in our strategies and answers. I'm PTing in the mid 160's but scored below that on the August exam so I'd like a study partner who is in the same range as me and dedicated to improving. We've got this!

My PT average is 165, and my goal is 170+. I'm looking for a group/buddy currently testing in the 160s to do a blind review "debate/discussion" of one practice test every week, with some optional additional review together.

I'm in Asia now, but the time difference is pretty convenient with US times - 10 hours ahead of eastern/11 hours ahead of central/12 ahead of mountain/12 ahead of pacific

E.g., we could meet Friday night your time - Saturday morning my time / Saturday morning your time -Saturday night my time / Sunday night your time - Monday morning my time. Also open to other options. Best,

Hi all I am really struggling with the games section. I have foolproofed all the games from 1-35 and 60-70 and am still really struggling on my pt’s. I just can not seem to get better than -6/7 and am feeling kind of hopeless and not sure of what else to do. I continue foolproofing the above games during the week between practice tests but it just does not seem to be helping my performance much on new pt’s. Any suggestions on what to do would be very much appreciated!

I want to rant with someone about the LSAT. I've gotten to the point that my brain doesn't want to receive any more info. My head feels congested. Don't want to be weird but finding someone that wants to talk about this on a phone call cuz I need a verbal rant.

Hey everybody, If anyone needs any help with LG I can help increase your score! I’ve done all the available games through 7Sage (I think 380 games in total). Please please message me if you need help!

I'm beyond excited. It feels so surreal. I'm positive I couldn't have gotten this score without 7sage, especially on Logic Games. I'm gonna miss J.Y.'s voice!

Title pretty much says it.

My study schedule right now is prep-tests Monday and Friday, RC, LG and LR practice Tuesday-Thursday and Saturday. I just scored a 162 on the August Flex but need at least a 165 for my target school (Arizona State). My weakness is always RC. I tend to miss 5-8 questions there on my prep tests and I know that is holding me back from getting higher scores. I always emphasize RC practice on my off-preptest days and put more time into RC than the other two, simply because it is my weakest section.

Does anybody have tips for getting better at RC, other than practicing passages over and over? It is very possible that I just need more practice but I figured it was worth reaching out to the community to see if you guys/gals have any other strategies that work for you!

Appreciate any insight here, thank you in advance!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this...but upon hearing the RBG news I actually cried. A symbol of integrity, tenacity, and righteousness for all. I figured since we're all aspiring lawyers, others might be feeling the same way about her.

I read someone else say this on twitter, and found it worth reposting:

"Her rest is earned. It is our turn to fight."

Thanks endlessly to an eternal legend.

I’m really happy with my score but can I get into some T 20 schools with a 169 on LSAT and a 3.33 GPA? NYU is my dream school and I really want to apply there for ED as an international student (Canadian). I’m not sure if I have a chance into these schools?

I'm consistently doing 10-ish points worse under timed conditions (I feel rushed, panic and miss stuff I know). What's the normal difference between the two? Do I have room to improve by the October Flex? tips to not freak out under time constraints?

is there anyway to get in contact with someone at 7sage today? since it is a Saturday

I just wanted to put this here to end off my LSAT journey right. I started studying using 7sage in April. I studied full time, almost 7 hours a day every day for months and ended up with a 165 on my first try. I wanted to put this here to reinforce the fact that studying pays off. If you follow the core curriculum and work hard you will get the score you want. I only needed a 158 for my school of choice and scored 7 points higher because of this community and platform. Thank you so much 7sage!!! I will continue to recommend this incredible network to all of my friends.

As I sit here stunned by my LSAT growth on the August Flex, I wanted to give motivation to anyone out there who is trying to study for an exam less than 3 months away. So many people will tell you you're crazy or it can't be done in less than 6 months and I let that get to my head a lot. I know a 158 isn't the score I see people dreaming of on these posts but for someone who studied for 3 months and improved 17 points... I'd say I'm pretty proud

For reference- I started my LSAT journey in May, planning to take it in July. I was using Khan Academy and was working at the time so I wasn't holding myself to a rigorous schedule. Barely even breaking 150 by the end of June I realized I needed to make a change. The r/LSAT subreddit recommended 7Sage as a cost effective and efficient study plan. I decided to push my test back to August and committed myself to full time studying about 5 hours a day, completing a lesson a day, starting in July. I obviously skimmed some lessons and would only complete practice sets if I didn't feel comfortable with a topic. I didn't take any practice tests and just grinded through the CC for 1.5 months. My first practice test after completing a good amount of the CC was a 156. From there I only took maybe 5 more practice tests in the 2 weeks leading to my August test. I was very discouraged, I only started 7Sage 2 months before my exam and everything I was reading said I was doomed for failure.

Only on one PT I got a 159 but the rest of them ranged from 151-156. I felt so good on test day, Logic Games became my greatest strength through 7Sage but reading comp was hard since I didn't have enough time to practice it as I did for LG and LR. I figured my score could go either way so to say I was ecstatic seeing I got a 158 would be an understatement.

My biggest advice to anyone planning to study in less than 3 months- remember that it IS possible. Everyone learns and improves in different capacities. If you're using 7Sage or any other study plan, I recommend reviewing every lesson but only honing in on practice sets on lessons you don't feel too good about. I know everyone says practice is key and you have to do 15+ PT before test day but that's not necessarily true. Play to your strengths. I found conceptualizing lessons and understanding what a right answer looks like in every context was crucial to my understanding, and not necessarily practicing.

Thank you 7Sage, I cannot recommend this LSAT prep course enough. Thinking like JY was truly a game changer on test day. Good luck to everyone out there going through the LSAT process. It's rough but just know that sometimes the time you put in is not as important as the quality of your study hours.

hi guys, just my score an hour ago and i am insanely upset, disappointed, and angry at myself. i started at a 144 and i received a 159 on the august test. i know there are worse scores, but i had been studying for 6 months for 6-8 hours a day and when i walked out of the test, i really thought i did at least above 160. i felt good about it, so i just dont understand what happened. i had been pt'ing 160-165 and br 166-174. i am so upset and i dont even know how i will bring myself to feel encouraged to study for the november exam, as i feel like ill just be disappointed again.

now here i am, gonna waste my whole friday crying about the score and drinking at 1130am...happy score release day lol

i hope that the rest of you are drinking because you got what you wanted, or wasting away ur friday because u got ur goal score and deserve a day off.

thanks for reading

I had a 140's diagnostic around January 2020 and was stuck in the 160's since at least March 2020 (with an occasional 170+ score but these were on older pre-J07 tests only-- I only got one 170 score on newer PT)

Like many of you, I was aiming for a 170+ score on the real LSAT, but I was scared as hell because I was stuck in the mid-160's for sooooo long; to be exact, I was stuck at 166 for almost every single preptest in the 70's and 80's

After I took the 2020 August LSAT I continued to study assuming I was going to have to retake for October, and my score actually dropped from 166 to 164 during these past 2 weeks in the last few preptests I took; it made me so sad and scared

Just found out I got a 170 today

So relieved...

P.S. For those who wanted to know how I studied, I have used 7sage (obviously) but never did the CC; I had one hour of tutoring but the tutor just didn't work for me, and I am cash-strapped, so I didn't hire a tutor ever again

In addition-- here are my 2 cents:

Contrary to popular belief, the LSAT is incredibly formulaic; so even if you have no natural LSAT gift (like me), by recognizing what wrong answers look like and what right answers look like, the LSAT becomes almost like math

LEARN from your mistakes; and when I say learn, I don't just mean understand why each answer is right and why each answer is wrong; go one step further by learning WHY you thought an answer was wrong (when it was actually right) and vice versa, and then write down what you learned in a journal and review that journal so that you don't miss questions like that ever again

so many questions on the actual test I think I got right simply because I spent hours/days/WEEKS trying to fully understand a few really hard problems (especially in LR); as a result, on test day, there were so many questions where, while none of the answers looked right, I just picked an answer based on pattern recognition of wrong answer choices that I wrote down in my LSAT journal

it is not about how many PT's you take, but how well you review; the 2 weeks before the LSAT, I spent the entire time just making sure I fully understood PT 88 in its 100% entirety; apparently doing that worked

And lastly, THANK YOU to everyone on this forum who has answered my LSAT questions-- I couldn't have done it without you all

A long and hard 8 months and I'm finally done studying for the LSAT. It was my dream throughout this study experience to be able to post something like this. I am absolutely thrilled to see this score today, it is the most fulfilling experience I've had, to see my hard work worth it in the end.

Thank you so much JY for making me a logic games pro and being an absolutely fantastic instructor. Will happily share with anyone how I studied!!!! :) Good luck to anyone studying -- You got this!!!!!

Thank you so much 7-sage!!!!

Cant believe this is even real

hi all. i've been studying full-time for this test since april. my diagnostic was a 150 and after all these months my average is hovering around a 159. in fact, it's been hovering around that since i finished the core curriculum and i haven't really seen any improvement. the thing is that recently my BR scores, which earlier would stay the same or be BELOW my timed scores, are skyrocketing. my BR score went from 160, to 165, to 169, to 172 just now. this is a pretty big disparity and i'm just confused as to why my timed scores are still bouncing around from 157, to 161, to 158, etc. i was told earlier that scoring high during blind review is good because it shows your potential/how much you really understand the test, but i'm starting to wonder how effective it is if my timed scores aren't budging. i'd appreciate any insight on this.

just as a note, i think a 159/160 is a good score, but given my low GPA i need to be in the high 160s to get in anywhere. thanks in advance.

Got my August score back and it was 7 points under my PT average and is not even good enough to apply. I am signed up for November and am wondering where to go from here. I understand the fundamentals of LR, am good with LG, and am restudying/drilling RC. While I understand LR, I've noticed lately I take longer to understand the stimulus so any tips are welcome.

I was thinking to drill LR/RC until the first week of october, then take 2 pts a week with thorough blind review every week until November. any help is welcomed and appreciated!!!

Hey everyone, I'm not here to make a lengthy post or anything but I just wanted to share that yes, it is possible to improve. I was stuck on this test for so long. Keep pushing and keep a positive attitude. Doing those two things while following J.Y.'s lessons have literally transformed my life. You all can do it!

I know im not a member of the 170 club but i think a 27 point jump from my diagnostic to my actual LSAT warrants a post! Took a lot of time and work but thanks to everyone on 7 sage and our lord and saviour J.Y ping, i hit my target score! To give back to the community that gave me so much, I'd like to offer some people help with LG and just give advice and study tips on how i achieved my goal! Thanks again everyone and good luck

I was given a coupon for a free test from LSAC that I used to sign up for the October administration. Upon seeing my August LSAT score I need to postpone my test. LSAC's website says a refund will not be issued if I withdraw though.. does this mean my coupon goes out the window and I have to pay for the November test? Kinda confused

Hi people,

So I got a 154 on the August flex and need to raise this at least three points by November

Games are my weakest section, I'm averaging around -9 or so. This is despite having foolproofed all games from PTs 1-35, in addition to FPing games from 10 other PTs.

Basically, I'm curious whether buying the powerscore bible right now is going to confuse me by giving me a new system this latw in the game (I'm very used to setting things up as J.Y does).

There other option is to keep drilling games the same way and hope to start seeing that infamous "click" people talk about.

I'd appreciate any advice.
