Hey guys,

I've been on my LSAT journey since September where I scored an initial diagnostic of 142 (shameful I know...) I'm now scoring in the 154 range timed with my BR being in the 157 range.

I was wondering if anyone has any advice on time pressure during the exam? Do you recommend hiding the timer? I find that when I see it counting down it makes me quite flustered which is hard to control. However, when I am practicing while just timing on my phone I'm able to solely focus on the exam and my accuracy is a lot better.

I know my capabilities are really being hindered by the time pressure so if anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

I've been following 7sage for a while now. I have been studying for the LSAT since June and I am scoring at about 160. I really need to get my reading comp score up! I am taking the February LSAT next week and I've tried many approaches. If anyone has anything (especially if it works quickly) I'd love to hear it.

Thank you!

How many highlight color options are available on the real digital lsat? Pink, Yellow, Orange? Thanks.

If you are looking to study with me for the lsat lmk. I can study on the Rutgers campus. If you attend Rutgers and are pre-law and need to study for the lsat or if you are simply around the New Brunswick/piscataway area and need to study for the lsat and are looking for a study buddy lmk.

Anyone in LA/OC studying for the LSAT and looking for a study group/buddy?

Message or comment if interested.

Can meet online. Thank you.

yes, due to the coronavirus...

But the good news is, I have more time to prepare and then give it a real shot for June test. Let's see how it goes.

I'm at the NA section of the core curriculum (almost done the problem sets) and so far these are the hardest question type for me.

What are some general tips/tricks you guys use to get the questions right (esp. hard questions)? I'm looking for a general rule or mindset to always have in mind as I do the questions to try and get them right.

Hi im looking for a full time study partner until the March LSAT. Im thinking BR a couple questions per day and maybe a full section or two on weekends :)

If possible comment or message me. 165-170 goal pls :)

Hello everyone, I have been studying LSAT from March 2019, currently scoring at lower 160s, and am seriously preparing for June LSAT in 2020. I am looking for someone who is also more or less committed to this schedule and can meet during the week. My time on weekdays are usually flexible. Please email me (ciacduan@gmail.com), if you are interested!

I hit "save and score" without filling in any answers because I don't understand how the preptest page works. Is my analytic page now just screwed up forever because of that 0% score?

For the premium course you get a limited amount of LSAT tests to practice with that are factored into the backwards planning from your anticipated exam date. I believe it goes up to 2009 or 2012 as the most recent practice tests. Being in the year 2020, should I stick to using 2012 and up tests to gain practice in vs the recommended 1990 tests -2009/2012 etc listed for practice? Or at the end of the day is a practice test a practice test regardless of what year it came out?

I received an email from an assistant dean at a school to which I've applied. He asked to set up a phone call to discuss my application. The school does not do interviews. Has this happened to anyone? I'm confused.

looking for feedback/tips, with the 7 sage schedule going through logical reasoning in its entirety before going on to logic games then reading comp, i was wondering if it would be better to follow a approach of looking at a bit of each section every week. was contemplating using the powerscore study schedule (does a bit of each every week) but using the 7 sage material instead of the powerscore bibles. thoughts on what has worked/is working for anyone?

Hi, conditional reasoning is something I have struggled with and wanted to start drilling to become better at. I was wondering whether anyone has ever compiled a list of questions that utilize conditional reasoning as the method to arrive at the correct answer? If so, would you be willing to share that list? Thank you!

Hi folks:

Does anyone here have experience with the Harvard video interview?

Would like to know what type of questions to expect and perhaps some tips on what they are looking for.

I signed up for an official tour of a school to which I've applied. Does anyone have attire advice? I'm wondering if I should wear business casual or if street clothes are OK. I'll be traveling and with my one year old son, so casual is preferred but of course will wear what's appropriate/expected.

Also, I got an interview request from what I considered a safety school. I'm a little freaked out, because I'm under the impression that interviews are offered to candidates in the discretionary group. Can anyone offer insight on the interview process?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am having a tough time with taking notes for the entirety of the 7Sage curriculum. I learn better with outlines where all of the info is there and I just have to annotate and fill in. In light of this, does anyone have 7Sage curriculum outlines/notes that are okay with sharing? Thank you so much guys, this forum really has been a lifesaver for difficult problems and I really appreciate everyone’s help.

I've got a quick question about keeping a log sheet for the questions i missed. Should I only input the questions I miss after BR? i'm assuming the answer is yes? but if not, please drop some quick wisdom on me, thanks!

I feel that I can only spend 2 hours on CC materials per day, though I do have more time to work on it. I just feel that after 2 hours of CC learning, I can't really concentrate on it anymore....

And it is 95 hours in total, which kinda kills me... Right now I only completed 18%. Thanks god that JY is quite humorous~

Hi guys,

I wrote the January exam, and it looks like I am going to write it again. I plan on writing it in September 2020. I am also looking for a job on the side, preferably part-time. If I cannot find anything part time, I was planning to go for full-time. I realized that I have been studying the wrong way for a while now. I was also pressuring myself a lot. I would like to restart everything again, and i want to take the slow and steady wins the race approach.

This is the strategy that I have in mind:

I wanted to know that is this a good study plan ?

I believe that this method would work well with a part-time job. But if I end up landing a full-time job, would it also work ? Or should I write it after September ?

Lastly, is there a tutor or someone I can privately speak to in regards to study strategies ?

I would really appreciate it :)

Thanks

over a year and a half of on and off studying and I'm finally done. The content here is super helpful, esp the LG and LR videos, and the new thing where you can make a custom made problem set. also thanks to all the people who post a lot and spread a really positive attitude.

156 after cc -> 166 jan 2019 -> 169 july 2019 -> 172 jan 2020 (curious as to what the breakdown was. I'll never know). a lot of ups and downs. wait till your PT score is where you want it to be before you sign up for a retake. take breaks. keep a journal. believe you can improve and find your weaknesses. find a strategy and stick to it

be more specific about where and how you are missing questions when you make posts asking for advice (this forces you to understand why you're dropping Qs.). take some more breaks. do something while you watch LG videos like yoga or stretching or clean.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if there are available past recorded webinars and how to access them? I’ve done a search within the forum and see there were numerous webinars, but no links to access them, just the original links to sign up.

Any direction on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a 3.48 GPA. In college I was a premed major before switching to a BS in Sport Management. The worst grades that tanks my GPA are two classes I took as a premed major. With that being said my dream school would be NYU Law, I've taken the LSAT twice already went from a 148 -> 155. I'm aiming for 167+ (the lower 25th at NYU) and I'm a URM which I've heard helps. With my GPA am i crazy in thinking that I'd ever get into NYU? Any input/advice would be appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some advice because I feel lost, speechless and honestly I am not sure what to do next. I have never really posted on a forum before so here it goes.

I diagnosed at a 135 and then I studied for about 6 months for the LSAT and I was taking practice exams and my scores ranged from the lowest being 145 to 150. I intended to take the January 2020 exam hoping for a 150 (this isn't the score I am truly aiming for). I aimed for a 150 because I was trying to see whether or not I may have a chance because I had applied to a few Canadian law schools. My overall GPA for my degree is 3.2 and my best two years (also my last two years) are overall a 3.4. Overall, I have outstanding volunteer experience, work and internship experience, I have also gotten my research essay published and received an award.

Originally, I aimed to score a 161 on this exam, but I decided to take the exam anyway in hopes of getting a 150 and maybe a Canadian school may consider me (still not sure as I have not heard anything back).

I took the January exam and scored a 146. I wasn't upset at first but now I am. I am not upset at the score that I received, I am upset because I don't know how to move forward from here in terms of how do I raise my score? I have had a hard personal life and I don't have anyone to go to, to seek advice, or someone to guide me on how to improve on this exam and this is why I come to you all. I know if I can work hard, I will get in.

Here is a little bit of information on how I study and how much I score on each section usually:

LG: BY FAR MY BEST SECTION, while taking the exam timed I usually get a 11 or 14 out of 23. When I blind review, I get 17 out of 23 or 22 out of 23.

LR: I really hate this section. It is literally hit and miss for me. Timed, I usually get a 8 or 13 out of 26. When I blind review, I get 14 or 15 out of 26.

RC: This section is also hit and miss. Timed, I usually get 12/27. Sometimes I blind review and most times I don't because I am not sure how it helps, but if I do blind review, I get 15/27.

I WISH I COULD SEE WHAT I GOT ON EACH SECTION FOR THE JAN 2020 EXAM

I have used 7sage, Kaplan, Powerscore LSAT Bibles, YouTube. Do you guys recommend I ask a tutor here on 7sage? Should I go through CC again? An outline of advice would be really helpful.

Extra Information: When I studied for 6 months, I didn't have a job (I was looking for one) I found it extremely challenging to focus. Now, I work at a really great job, its full-time from 8 am to 4pm (I also have the option of going in at 7-3 or 9-5). It is not a lot of work and I literally do my job and leave (its clerical work). Usually after work I am pretty energetic, so I feel like I could either study in the morning or afternoon after work. I get weekends off.

I come to you all with complete sincerity and desperation. Please if anyone can advise me on how to move forward and what to do next, I would honestly appreciate it from my heart. Like I said again, I don't have anyone to ask for help and I come to you all because I hear 7sage is an amazing family with lots of love and encouragement.

Thank you!

Ron

I was just wondering what people have found effective, I want to continue with the 7sage material but was thinking of using the powerscore self study schedules, where I do a bit of lr lg and reading comp every week, as opposed to going through the entire LR then on to LG and then RC section by section. any feedback on what has worked for others would be great.
