Looking to swap personal statements with someone early this week. Please comment or message me directly if you're interested.

Do you guys know how I am going to get notified for when my testing date is and proctor U information from LSAC? I am 100% registered but have not received any information from them and I am slightly concerned.

Would someone explain what D is saying and why it is the incorrect answer choice? Greatly appreciate anyone's input.

I know they are generally considered the same level of "hard," but I find myself with a 10 point difference between a test in the 30s and a test in the 80s. I guess it has to do with the way the language has changed and the amount of trap answers that are there, but the gap for me seems insane. It's like a difference of 173 v 164. Has anyone been able to overcome this hurdle?

Does anyone know if you haven’t completed the writing sample for a Flex test are you still able to see your score, but just not release it? Or do you have to do the writing sample to see your score at all? Basically can you see your score without doing the writing? I know you won’t be able to send the score to schools without doing a writing sample, just curious if I have to do writing to even see my score.

Hello! For folks who have registered for previous LSAT Flex administrations, what is the process like? Do I need to have a Proctor U account? And how many days before the first available test date were you allowed to register? Thanks so much!

I think I had read somewhere that with the regular LSAT one of the LR sections is usually easier than the other. Does anyone know if the section that gets obscured on 7Sage in the LSAT flex PT is the easier one or the harder one? Or always the third section, regardless of whether it’s the easier one or not?

Hello 7Sagers,

I have seen a couple of January study groups but haven’t had any luck so far. I am looking for a couple study partners who are currently scoring in the high 150s hoping to break 165+ in January. Right now, I am taking one PT a week, taking a full day to blind review, and working through what I have left of the CC.

I am mostly looking for people who would want to talk through strategy, work through the harder questions and help keep each other accountable to our study schedules.

If this interests you, please drop your email below. Thanks!

For those who have taken the flex, did y'all encounter any games that didn't fit into the other categories (e.g. the Misc games of the 1990s)? In general, how'd would y'all rate the difficulty of LG section in flex?

Who here is taking the January 2021 LSAT and applying this cycle? Are you taking it as a retest or your test? Do you recommend waiting to take January as opposed to November for a higher score or take it as a retake?

I burned out at the beginning of October, a week before the October LSAT Flex Exam(!), my mind would go numb and "reject" looking at anything LSAT related, so I withdrew my exam registration and took 15 days off to rest. I was disappointed, but at the time I knew it was the right call, and I'm registered for the November test anyhow. (FYI I also scored 160 on the July Flex test - an under performance - so getting 177 is a massive shock to me).

Before the October test date, I was PT'ing on average 164-165, with a personal best of 166. So 15 days of rest has gone by and I wrote the PT51 yesterday and scored 177!!

So I'm wondering, was I just incredibly lucky? Or was that a real reflection of my abilities? Of course I will find out the answer to this on my own in the coming 3-4 weeks from PT'ing, but I'm curiously wondering if there are any people out there with a similar experience of making a massive jump in test scores and making that 170+ consistent?

I just took the October Flex on the 8th and am retaking again in November. I have less than a month to improve for the November test but I am feeling really burnt out and unmotivated. Does anyone have any advice for how to get back into studying? Should I drill my weak question types or should I focus on taking as many PTs as possible? Should I take a break or is it too late for that? Any advice is appreciated

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share my experience in case it's helpful to some of you. I took the October LSAT-Flex and am also registered for November. I was getting seriously stressed and semi-burnt out before the October test - studying really hard didn't seem to help much on LR/RC and I would often second guess myself or change correct answers to incorrect ones when reviewing at the end of a section. I was getting pretty frustrated with myself, wasn't feeling like I was getting results despite putting in a ton of work, and reading into traps that weren't there.

I took almost two weeks off from anything related to the LSAT after the October test and it helped immensely - it feels like I can actually learn from my mistakes now instead of just getting pissed about getting yet another weakening/SA/NA question wrong. I just took my first PT since the October test and LR/RC felt great - I could move through questions quickly, trust my intuition, and not read too far into irrelevant details that would trip me up previously. I got kinda bodied by LG due to lack of practice, but still managed to score in the mid-170's after plateauing hard in the mid-160's on previous PTs. My LR went from -8 average to -1. Night and day.

All this to say - if you're feeling discouraged, burnt-out, stressed etc., pounding the pavement harder might be counterproductive. I'd highly recommend taking a week or two to unwind, do something else (apps?), and not even think about the LSAT. Give yourself some time to break out of counterproductive thought processes and habits and come back with some fresh eyes and motivation - you might be really surprised what you can do.

Good luck to y'all on this last leg of preparation before November - we got this!

Just starting my LSAT studies and I've heard a lot of people talk about drilling sections. I don't necessarily understand what drilling involves and what's the best way to do it? Is there a specific method I should follow?

Hey guys-I need some advice after just receiving the lowest score on a PT that I have ever gotten (pre-BR). I just took PT 39 flex and the difference from my pre and post BR score is 11 points and I was not expecting that. I am registered for the November LSAT but after this review, I am feeling so discouraged and beaten down. I have put in SO much work and I know I am capable of reaching my ideal score in BR but after seeing how big of a difference there was between my two scores on this test- I don't know what to do. I would really appreciate any advice/guidance at all (seriously, any).

I would appreciate advice on how to bridge the gap between my pre and post BR scores. It seems like my worst section is RC and I know that is the toughest to improve on in a short amount of time so I have been putting more of my focus on LG/LR and I have been seeing improvements, so I think I did the right thing?? Give me your thoughts.

Also, do I postpone my test until January? I was planning on applying in December but getting a good score is of the utmost importance for me mostly because my GPA is right at median for my target school.

I greatly appreciate any help!!!! I would also be willing to give more details in private messages if needed.

Hi 7sage,

I'm new here, so could someone please tell me how I can create a syllabus on the website just for LG? That's what I am using the platform for and would be very grateful for instructions.

Thanks.

Free tutoring for RC

It helps to know basic supply and demand (25, 4, 7 and 21, 2, 10) and the idea of substitute goods (28, 1, 17 and 26, 3, 3) but are there other economics concepts that appear on LR?

I know we don't have to know the specifics but familiarity with them would definitely help non-econ majors like me

would appreciate any help!

Hi all, just looking for some advice on which GPA to list on my resume. My transcript GPA is 3. 759, which i have always just rounded up to 3.76. My LSAC GPA on the other hand is 3.77. It's such a marginal difference, but i think it might make a difference for some. Any ideas on which one to list on my resume/when asked in other parts of my transcript?

Hi All,

I've been regressing recently - going from a 164 about a month ago to 161, 161, 158, and 158. This is a bit discouraging, especially since the November LSAT is just around the corner. RC continues to be around the -8 to -11 range, while LR is the most concerning going from the -4 to -8/-10 ranges. Any advice on how to best smooth out these edges before November?

Thank you,

Thomas

Just wanted to say that good things come to those who put in the work! Have confidence in yourself, don't get discouraged and take mental health days if you need!!!!! I started 7 sage in March with an initial score in the low 140's and I just hit a new high of 164 on a practice test and a 172 on BR. We got this!!!! I go through the core curriculum if I need to brush up on anything. If you don't understand something the best thing you can do is go back to the videos and review!!!! I am taking the Nov LSAT in a few weeks so heres hoping everything goes well on test day.

Hi y'all I just found out about the LSAT Score Preview Services which lets first time test takers see their score before either cancelling It or letting It be released. To me that sounds great but does anybody knows whether the law schools I apply to will know that I had the option to view my score and if so would that be held against me?

Also I believe that people who got an LSAC waiver do not have to pay for this particular service either. The total is $45 but mine was waived

I know this will vary for everyone since everyone is somewhat going about it differently, but I'm curious about everyone's experience in this section. I had to take a break so I'm not near finished, I moved onto LG which I'm almost done with and then contemplating going to RC or back to LR.

Hey guys,

So far I have been using the lsat flex version of the prep tests. I am wondering if there is a way to still use that second part of the LR section from the exam that was skipped in the flex version. Thanks guys!

Just received an email from LSAC saying my writing section has been canceled. I'm supposed to be getting my Oct LSAT scores back in less than a week and now this. All LSAC told me was that they have not received a "completed reportable response." NO details on what went wrong or how I'm supposed to avoid making the same mistake in my next writing sample. This is the second writing I've had to take, as my webcam literally broke in the middle of the first one. It's a week before scores are released, and they tell me that my second one doesn't count but won't tell me why.

What do I do? Has anyone had this problem?? I SWEAR I followed every rule so I don't even know what to do to make my third writing sample be counted. Naturally LSAC only emailed me about this once the weekend started so I can't even call them for clarification until Monday. Any advice is appreciated.
