I just finished the Core Curriculum. I want to take my first diagnostic test. How can I find the diagnostic test or how can I go about it? Thanks!

So I completely had an anxiety attack during my first section of the recent LSAT, and didn't get to the entire last game. I usually go -1/-0, so I know I won't be getting the score I was hoping for -- and want to give myself a bit of a break in studying.

I signed up for the March test as it's the soonest one available, and it's not until the end of that month.

Would waiting until the start of March to dive back in be too long of a gap, or would that be ample time to pick up where I left off? Was a little too all-consumed by the test, so need to take some time off, but I don't want to lose the progress I made.

Thank you

Hi all,

Hi fellow Sagers,

I have been studying and studying for what feels like eternity, and following 7sage CC, an in person commercial prep course, and numerous books and guides, I finally took to some serious self studying. My PTs range from 153-159, with an average of 157. 160+ is the goal for me, but no matter what I do, I haven’t seemed to climb past this plateau. I acknowledge that the curve is less forgiving as you climb up, but I cannot seem to catch balance. My plan for my next (and final) LSAT take has been to use the Digital Problem Set to do timed sections because my PT score hadn’t moved following a dozen exams since my last write. My review process has been as follows:

For LR: I paraphrase the stimulus if it’s an argument in my own words, write it out, rationale for each answer choice, during BR and Review. I try to come up with my own explanations before consulting 7Sage explanations. I completed all of the PTs 60-69 before opting for more timed sections from 36-59. I’m at PT 59 on RC and LG, in the 40s in LR at present.

For RC: High/ Low Res summaries of passage, tracking my time distribution in a chart for how long I spend reading passage vs. the questions, comparing both to JY’s target times.

LG is my strong suit— FPM of every game at 75% accuracy or above (usually above).

My individual section scores in LR range from anywhere from -4/-6 to -9/-12 and I don’t understand where that high upper end comes from as if I had never studied. In RC as well as -4/-5 and on some days -10/-11 as if I had never studied. It fluctuates in timed sections so much I haven’t taken full PTs, but will do individual questions followed by immediate review.

I don’t know what else to do. I don’t see how I can get the score I need to with such immense fluctuations and an inability to hit anywhere near my goal during an official write. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Suggestions, please?

Thank you!

Is there a way to do a pt with an optional 5 section to simulate the actual test? Fatigue is a factor and practicing with an additional section will help overcome that. And if there isn’t a way, how can we ask 7Sage to set this up for us? I’m sure a lot of people have the fatigue issue also and want to have this option too. #Adminhelp

I’m getting rid of practice exams and books that I had purchased. Message me for more details.

Before enrolling to 7Sage, I got PTs 1-58 and PTs 66-89 (I do have a few gaps -missing about 6 tests within this range). Now that I have premium, I have access to test explanations 36-58 (plus 88 and 89). I'm five months into 7Sage and have realized that I would benefit from drilling LR by question type. The issue is that I am on a tight budget and upgrading to ultimate plus just wouldn't be the best financial move for me right now. I have been told about the free resource, LSAT Hacks, that provides free LSAT test explanations. The only thing I am missing is a free/budget friendly resource that would allow me to sort LR by question type. I would really appreciate some suggestions on resources that you guys may know of for drilling LR by type. Thanks in advance!

Okay so I wrote last July, not prepared enough, enticed by the freebie, got a 152 and cancelled, target score is a 163-164. So that means I have the free retake in April but I am only 35% through CC and will also still be taking a full course load, thus I wouldn't as prepared as I could be. It's for these reasons that I want to take in August but I also don't want to wait the April opportunity.

My question to you guys is, Would a hypothetical LSAT score history of a cancelled score, a 155-158 (if I took in April) and then a score of around 164 (goal score for August) look bad to schools?

On any of the explanation videos for practice problems (including lessons), when you click the "Answers" box and hover over the answer choices, on the bottom of each answer choice is a percentage indicating what percentage of people choice that particular answer. Then there are what appears to be LSAT scores above each answer choice. Does anyone know what this means?

Hi, do I get to extend my access for an unlimited number of times? Or is there a limit to how many times I extend my access?

Thank you!

Hi all,

I don't have a set test date yet but I'm looking to start a group to go over PT's, ask questions and just generally pool our knowledge. I've been a part of one before and it's a great way to structure studying and hold each other accountable. Let me know if you're interested!

I know many people here are concerned about getting into the top 14 law schools but that’s just not in my cards and I’m very happy with my choices so far.

With that being said, I got accepted to both university of California Irvine and the university of Minnesota. Irvine has a ranking of 23 while Minnesota has a ranking of 20. Does ranking really matter when they’re that close?? Which would you choose?

I’m from Minnesota and would love to get away for the winters but also know how expensive California is. Just looking for some others opinions to persuade or dissuade me!

Hi everyone,

On Wednesday, February 5, at 9:00 PM ET, I'll host a webinar with Gillian Harris, the Assistant Director of Admission at Emory Law. Assistant Director Harris will give us a short presentation on Emory Law, and then I'll ask her some of the questions you're dying to know:

You’ll get a chance to ask your questions at the end.

:warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

:cookie: After the webinar, we’ll award one attendee a free Edit Once (see https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/enroll).

:warning: The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

→ Please register for the webinar here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_U-igONpMTm-vMe3kd5WVaw

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

If you want to ask a question, you should connect via a computer instead of calling in. We also recommend that you join the webinar a few minutes early and test your microphone.

After reviewing answer choice E, I can see how it strongly weakens the argument, but I'm a little confused why answer choice C couldn't be a correct choice as well. If the number of people competing for the elected position isn't more when the pay is high vs when the pay is lower, isn't that enough to prove that these people are not doing it for the purposes of money?

Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [brief description]"

Can someone help me understand what this means? I've received an email saying my initial review has been completed and the committee is not ready to make a decision and that a decision will be made sometime in the spring. Is this different from being on the waitlist? Should I consider writing a LOCI? Is there anything I can do to improve my chances?

I have been struggling to chain up conditional statements together, and am looking for extra practice on this particular skill. I went back to the CC and found a few exercise problems on the following page:

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/chaining-conditional-statements-together-exercise/

However, I really want to drill more of these and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get more of these exercises.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if I am considered a URM. I've always considered myself a minority being that I was born in Ecuador and moved to the US when I was younger. I have double citizenship and both of my parents/extended families are from Ecuador/South America. Spanish was my first language. I can't seem to find updated information on what groups are considered URM's since some old ones from the early 2000s say that only mexicans/puerto ricans are considered URM's. Would anyone be able to provide me with insight on this?

I am only able to see account extension for a period of one month. Can we no longer extend account access for multiple months at a time? Or is that just me?

Thank you.

Okay guys. I'm being super vulnerable here. After going through the 7Sage Curriculum and taking a Kaplan live course, the highest score out of three LSATs was a 140. I freaked out on the logic games when using the tablet, but other than that I'm not sure what happened ----- So I graduated from the University of Arkansas with a 3.5 GPA in financial management and Investments. I have five years of professional experience in the finance arena along with Series 7 & 63 Certifications. Be honest with me. Do I have any chance of getting into ANY law school for Fall 2020 or do I just give up period?

Much love 7Sagers,

Bryce

Not really an LSAT topic, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has recently had an international transcript processed by LSAC, and could indicate how long it took for processing. This Saturday will be the 1 month point from when LSAC first received my transcripts, and I'm beginning to get antsy.

Arguably the best on the planet at LG. However, his low / high resolution method on RC, from the reviews I've seen, has not received the credit it deserves. Double honor sir!

Hey guys :)

I am getting closer and closer to being ready to start taking practice tests, and I would love your input on how best to practice for the Digital LSAT.

I have been reading this Reddit thread which has given me a lot of great info on what test day is like, but I don't know where to start in terms of practice!!

Some guiding questions:

Do you take practice tests on your computer? iPad? Do you use a stylus? Do you purposefully take the tests in areas that will have a glare?

Thank you so much!

I just took the Jan LSAT at USF (University of San Francisco), and the tables were TINY. It was very hard to do logic games because of the limited space. The tablet already took up half of the table!

I don't think this negatively affected my score, however, it was really annoying and I wanted to give you all a tip so this can potentially avoided for you all. I do understand that sometimes the LSAC will assign you test centers that you didn't choose (this happened to me, I actually chose College of San Mateo which is a great testing center).

TLDR: Avoid USF testing center, tables were super small.
