I’ll be taking 4 PTs between now and then - probably all from PT 80s.

Any recommendations to which PTs I absolutely should take (ie difficult ones, trick games, etc)? Non PT 80s also fine.

Want to be ready for any tough scenarios come November!

Let's say I read a word that I don't recognize. Can I open a new tab to Google the definition really quick?

So, I got my October flex score back...148. I knew after how terrible the LG section was that it would be bad...but wow. I was PT’ing around 154, which I already wasnt happy about because I have been studying for a year now. Last year when I took it in July, I got a 150. I cancelled because I figured a year from then I would be doing much better...but no. Im truly confused on what to do. Im registered for November, I will take a PT and see how im doing and worst comes ill move it to January. Either way, I want to apply this cycle and seeing what happens. I had a 3.92 from Howard U and am a URM. Great extracurriculars, unique PS/DS, strong work history...its just this LSAT.

Everything is already going way off of my plans. I didn’t initially plan on taking a year off, but here I am. I don’t regret it because I have a great paralegal job and am getting great experience...but I have to face the decision of potentially taking another year off. What if I do and my score is STILL the same? Towards the end of my studies for October, I got a tutor and I realized I haven’t been studying correctly. Thats the only thing giving me hope. In the 4 weeks I had a tutor, I didn’t see a score improvement but I did notice I looked at LR a bit questions differently. I honestly dont know how to feel still..or what to do. I want nothing more than to be a lawyer and really want to go to Stanford or Berkeley.

Any words of motivation, advice or stories of personal experience would be much appreciated.

Got a 167 on October!! Also if anyone is really struggling with LG, message me. I’ve been helping people with LG for about 2 months now!

I’m taking the November test. Yesterday the May 2020 LSAT-flex came up in the LawHub.

I’m going to take it in a week or so. Let’s blind review this test together.

I've finished the core curriculum logic games section. I feel determined to finish -2 or -0 on the actual Logic Games section come January. When I did the core curriculum. I would do the section timed, blind review, watch the explanation, and usually when I finished the explanation video I would redo the game from scratch and do somewhere between -1 or -0 for those two games in that problem set.

Now that I've finished the whole Logic Games section of the course, I want to do 2 games a day, review them, and repeat the game until I miss none of the questions. I don't think this will take long because after I watch the explanation video, I usually don't miss much and finish with time left. But my question is, should I even bother with doing games from Prep Tests 1-35 since they're old? When I got to the MIsc Section of LG in the course, I noticed how different those games were and how I probably wont see them again in January, and would rather perfect the standard: linear, in/out, grouping etc. games. I'm thinking maybe from now till January I can focus on drilling the Newer/Newest Logic Games?? Thoughts? Also, before I found 7sage I used the LSAC prep books and completed like the first 10-15 Prep Tests that were released on my own, but before I did blind review and had all of the wonderful tricks and tips that I learned from 7sage.

Side note, I did the Logic Games from PT 43 recentlly and went -6. I didn't blind review or time that section, because I was just doing it casually with some Youtube in the background because I was bored.

Hi guys, I'm torn between two choices here: either apply to NYU, my target school, for early decision, or retake the LSAT on January.

My October LSAT came out to be 167, 3 points lower than my PT averages. I have a CAS GPA of 3.88.

I kind of lost confidence to do well on the LSAT anymore because I always struggled with Logic Games in REAL TEST setting. I always panic screw them up. But I also think that my chances are pretty slim with my current LSAT score... What would be the best approach?

I was diagnosed with asymmetric bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and both sides tinnitus. I can't concentrate because of the tinnitus. I hear I can apply for an Accommodation for extended time. if you have any experience or advise please share if my condition will qualify for an accommodation. Thank you all!

The title says it all. Somehow I got a 179!!!

Long story short, took my October LSAT didn't do as well as my PT average. What are the chances of being admitted into schools ranked roughly 50 -100 with a 159 LSAT and a 3.7 GPA? I have good extra curriculars (worked for a political campaign, am a published writer, etc.) but should I consider taking the LSAT again? Or will my current numbers be good enough to get me into some these schools? Any advice would help, thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to say that I'm done with LSAT now (received a 168. Thank you JY!). Congrats on everyone who took the OCT LSAT and good luck to those writing in NOV!

I really need to write my personal statement, but I keep putting it off because I'm quite lost.

I'd like to talk about my religion because it has been my drive during university and the LSAT. It has helped me through depression and has motivated me to keep going. It taught me to be considerate of other people's needs. It taught me to not stress over small details but to imagine the bigger picture. It also taught me perseverence as I study texts every day (I've never had a daily routine until I started doing this!)

Religion had played a huge part in shaping who I am now, but I am afraid if it might put me at a disadvantage if I'm straightforward with it...

Should I talk about it?

I'd love to hear your opinions :)

Hello,

I did not think I would be writing this question but I am in a very strange place. I have been studying for the LSAT for many months but I joing 7Sage very recently. I am debating moving my test date from Nov to Jan, because I had plans to teach aboard strating in Jan but with the Covid situation being very unstable it is likely that I will not be departing as planned. I am personally, very torn about what I should do because if I take the test in Jan, I am worried I will be to late to apply this cycle but I could keep studying. (fyi not going for a T14.)

However, there is the possibility that even if I took the LSAT in Nov and applied this cycle, my travel and teaching would be pushed to Sept 2021 and I would have to defer admission. I have to make a decision about this before the 30 of Oct because that is the last day to change without a fee, however, I will not know about my status until the week of Nov 15. (same as test week...)

I would really appericate some advice on the matter and outside viewpoints.

Hi there,

I took my first LSAT this October and got a 147... I am of course booked to write again but am wondering if it is worth it to cancel my score or just leave it? I am worried that it looks bad but I also do not want to lead my application with that score. I do think that I can do a lot better as I have already seen an 8+ increase in my pt's (I also am aware most people advise not to however, while searching the forum this seemed to be the advice for the regular LSAT when you could not do score preview and I didn't see any posts about scores this low). I am also applying to Canadian schools and I am aware that 147 is not a competitive score by any means. Any input is welcome!

I just got back my October LSAT, and received a 174! I honestly am floored, and wanted to thank everyone on the 7Sage team + people on these discussion boards. I pretty much exclusively used 7Sage to study, and have 0 doubt that I would have never been able to perform well on the test without this site and community. Having taken most of the PTs and done the CC, I was helped immeasurably by informative user comments, and by all of JY's absolutely superb (and entertaining) videos.

As an aside, I ended up needing 3 takes and 7 months to finally hit my target (2 high 160s on my first two takes) - if it would be useful for anyone, I'd be happy to type up a much longer post that goes into depth about section strategies/study tips (and feel free to PM about this too).

Thank you 7Sage + JY for the help! Glad to be finished with this test after 3 takes, and to dig into some ice cream!

I never thought I would get to write this post: After over a year of studying with 60+ practice tests taken, I can finally say I am done with the LSAT. I Climbed to 170!

Thank you so much to 7sage for helping me break through to this level! I'm absolutely going to write more about my study patterns, how I adapted to score drops and test-day anxiety, COVID, employment, and more, but first ------ I'm going to go celebrate at 9 AM 😝

Can't believe it finally paid off. I feel like this year just consisted of me crying in my room studying LOL. It was a tough process, but I'm just so happy it's over.

This test sucks ass. It just really does, I have to say it. It literally drained all my mental energy for a year. Trust me, it wasn't like I was good at this test from the start. It took countless hours of staring at a question to figure out what the hell is going on. But hard work does pay off - please, please never give up.

I want to be of help to anyone who is going through this process. Please ask me anything, I may be able to help.

GPA 3.2, October LSAT Flex 167

I got 164 for the July LSAT Flex (my first exam), so I think I could score at least a point higher for the January exam.

Should I apply now (November) or take the January LSAT Flex hoping for a higher score?

My goal is top 30 law schools.

I am confused about foolproofing. When we are printing off 10 copies of the games we have not perfected, should we be trying to set up the board and answer the questions timed or untimed until perfection? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone received an email from the LSAC about scheduling a time to take the Nov 2020 LSAT?

Hello 7sage community!

There have been quite a few threads similar to this one published in the last three years, so I apologize for any redundancy. My situation is complicated... or maybe it's not. Idk. You decide. But do read on if you have time.

I got a 162 (lower than my most recent PTs) on my October LSAT and plan to retake in two weeks. I'm trying to decide whether it would be better to apply now, or to wait until I get my next score in late November, which will ideally be 165 or better. I'm hoping to get into a top 25 school, my GPA is a 3.5 at a heavily grade-deflated school and I have a year of work experience at a top 5 bank, although I've been unemployed for most of this year due to an untimely injury and the pandemic.

Please let me know your thoughts.

*a brief note on grade deflation if anyone cares: looking at stats specific to my school, alumni get into the same grad programs as the avg student w/ a GPA that is +0.2 to +0.3 points higher

Can you highlight stuff during the exam?

Does anyone know when 7Sage will have the new May 2020 Preptest with explanations? Any possibility it could be up before the November exam?

Hi all, I was searching for how to find the exact, word-for-word essay prompts for each school (without adding them all on my LSAC account) and came upon the links below. Re-posting in case someone else finds them useful. The coda doc is awesome. :)

I’m soo happy I’m in shock! I got a 164 on the October flex which is right at BCs median and my GPA Is above their 75th percentile and it’s my top choice. Thanks everyone for all the help on here!!

Do you think the may June and July tests will be flex?
