Hello everyone,

I am signed up for the November and the January LSAT. Was hoping to hit a 162-165 November but my last PT indicates that I may not be ready.

That being said, would anyone have a 2-3 month study plan that they’ve used or perhaps some advice?

Some context on me, my BR is at my target score but my timed score isn’t. I finished CC a while ago. For the past few months I’ve been revisiting the CC and redoing questions and also taking timed PTs here and there. Since August I’ve taken 3 PTS only since I felt I wasn’t ready for most of them.

I’ve also been redoing difficult games.

My main problem during PTs is that I get thrown off by a few questions and it just throws me off for the rest of the PT.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

So I am scheduled to finish the CC this Friday. Haven't taken a full PT since the diagnostic but, should this be enough time with PTs etc to be prepared for the Nov exam/?

Thank you!

So I just printed out the ticket for the test next Monday and was checking test location on google map. However, the weird thing is that the hotel name (which is the test center) does not match the address provided on the ticket! It says “fiesta Henderson hotel,” which seem to locate in Henderson rather than Las Vegas. The address on the ticket is “3510E Tropicana ave, Las Vegas, NV, 89119,” and google map shows no hotel at all in that address. I’m so freaked out!! The test is only one week away and I need to fly to Las Vegas to take it. Should I contact the hotel or LSAC? How fast will LSAC respond? Should I write an email or just call them?

Anything, based on 7Sage's difficulty measure, between level 1-3 I do with ease, I can spot the conclusion, the support, and prephrase an answer almost verbatim. Not quite the same mastery with level 4's, but I can still spot the flaw easily and prephrase a good answer. These level 5 problems are a completely different story. Sometimes I have difficulty even spotting the conclusion, I cannot spot the flaw, and definitely not prephrase a good answer. It is like everything falls apart with these questions, and sometimes when I think I got it down, I am stunned to find out what the right answer actually was. I do these problems with maybe 20-40% accuracy, 20% on a bad day and 40% on a good day. I would like some advice on how to get better at these tough LR problems. Any help appreciated.

Where can I get the 7sage digital tester?

I recently got an email from Yale inviting me to register for one of its online open houses, and the email ended with something along the lines of, "We have carefully selected you as a prospective applicant..." Did anyone else get this as well and/or know whether or not it's just a mass email?

Hi all — I have a question on the admissions process. I took the September exam and received a terrible score (in the low 140s), so I am planning on sitting for the November one. Ideally, my November score would be higher, but regardless, I’m committed to applying this cycle and given my career goals and situation, I am fine with going to a lower-ranked school. A little background about myself: I graduated from a strong liberal arts college in 2018 with a 3.8+ GPA and worked as a paralegal at a big law firm in downtown NYC for about a year following graduation — stopping early this summer to dedicate full-time studying for the LSAT.

Now to my question: am I allowed to apply to a couple of schools where I have a high chance of securing admission (Roger Williams, New England Law, Vermont Law, among others) with my September score right now — and then wait for my November score to apply to a different set of schools, assuming that my score is higher? The rationale for applying right now to lower ranked schools would be to take advantage of getting my app in early and to get a couple of acceptance letters, which would give me the peace of mind that I will be going to law school next fall. Does this rationale have merit or upside? (Would I even hear back from schools before December?) And will admissions at schools like Roger Williams frown upon that or not at all? Moreover, would they delay rendering a decision on my app since they know that I am taking it again and do not want to immediately accept me knowing full well that I won’t likely attend if my Nov. score is higher? As you can discern, I am in the process of processing my September performance and am concerned about admission. In addition, if I apply to a school right now/before my November test, will they wonder why I am applying at this moment, as I assume that they can see that I’m registered for November? Further, I plan to write an LSAT addendum, but if I were to apply before the November test, how would schools interpret that? Will they think: “Why is he writing an addendum when he only took it once and seems to be settling on such a dismal score?”

Any insight and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hey Sagers. So I am a week away from test day and I've been performing consistently well on LR and LG (consistently getting less than -5 on these sections). The one thing that is still KILLING me and when I say killing me, I mean i'm averaging roughly -7 to -10 on this section is RC. I don't expect to see this go down exceptionally within a weeks time but I was wondering if anyone had any RC advice/tips that helped them especially? I would like to go intot this exam as confident as possible, so even seeing the slightest bit of progress would definitely be a boost. Thanks all in advance and best of luck to everyone!!

Hi there,

I am four years out from undergrad and have had a few time intensive and demanding jobs since then. I do political campaign work and government work and am trying to highlight all of my positions in that field that in my resume. In turn, the resume is over a page. I have never had a ton of free time in general, let alone for volunteer activities but did assist in a letter writing campaign for planned parenthood last year and will be teaching a workshop for women interested in campaign work next month. Question: If my resume is already over a page, should I include those volunteer roles at the end of my resume? Important to include my personal interests (running, hiking etc)?

Thanks!

looking to add about 10 people to a discord study group. Preferably people who have scored 170+ on a fresh PT and are hoping for 170+ on the test.

DM me if interested

Still a long way to go until March but super happy with BR score. Was stuck in low 170s for a bit and now its creeping up :) Press on sagers!

Thanks

I am still planning on taking the November LSAT. I know that scores release about 3 weeks after the test. My fall semester officially ends on December 13. Will I have to submit my application with this year’s fall semester included or can I submit my application with the GPA that I currently have (not including my GPA post-fall semester)?

I know your personal statement is supposed to be about you, but the moment that changed my career trajectory (and made me decide to go to law school) is entirely centered around something someone else did. I mentored students and taught civics classes through a nonprofit organization, and one student who spoke to the school board made me realize law/being a voice for others is what I wanted. He did it, but I was there when it happened, worked with him all semester, helped write his speech, etc. I also can talk about how from there I did other things (president of the nonprofit college chapter, joined a volunteer group, advocate locally for communities), but it's still technically something he did that would be the introductory "story". Any advice on if this is okay to write about?

Hi,

I applied to a number of schools last year, and was very excited to receive an offer from a Canadian law school (although it's for the dual JD program). However, I had to decline the offer due to a number of family reasons.

I am applying again this cycle, and I wanted to know if I can apply to the same law school again even though I had to decline their offer during the last cycle?

I struggled with figuring this out when I first started doing logic games so I hope it helps. If it's a grouping game where we are told each element within one category of elements must be played "at least x amount" (or some equivalent statement, and generally it will be 'at least once') it can be made into a chart. This is because with 'at least' there is no limit on how many times each individual game piece can reappear, making them not unique.

I know that you get something like a notebook with some pages and that you can ask for more if need be, but I wanted to know, what are its dimensions roughly? I imagine it's either printer paper size or like those smaller blue booklets they give out on university exams. Thanks!

I do well on most logic games and have also improved in Logical Reasoning. However, I have seen little to no improvement in RC and am unsure of how to accomplish any sense of improvement. Can you please suggest ways in which I can attempt to improve?

I especially encounter this problem when I run into difficult passages which I cannot decipher in the section but also in passages which I think I understand the content but end up having multiple wrong answers in.

Hello everybody!

With a fresh PT just released and LSAT writings around the corner I figure its time to host another public Blind Review seeing as how the video explanations for the questions are not available and there may be some out there who want to do PT 88 before they are released.

I am hosting a blind review session for PT 88 next Saturday at 11 am eastern. There is no need to register just clink on the link provided below at the right time and you'll be in.

We will cover all the sections but history tells me LR will receive the bulk of the attention. The idea is to come into this session as a true blind review, and to get the most out of this session I would suggest that you do not check the answer sheet and bring the questions you are unsure of during the session. I will provide the answers as we go along so if there is a question that you did not flag but got wrong we can address that on the spot.

Here in about 2 weeks, my Starter status will expire and switch to Alum (I think). I'm currently in my admissions cycle and will become a bit more scarce here. I know 7Sage really helped me on this journey, and I don't know that I could have done as well without the program or this supportive community. (3(/p)

To everyone still at it: keep going. There is another side. I have seen it! It's also very stressful, but it's pretty awesome. :)

For those who have been curious, so far, I have 2 acceptances and 4 apps out. One acceptance came with a scholarship, and the other came with a full-ride offer. I hope to come back and update you guys on how it all panned out in the end. Hopefully by February, I'll know for sure.

Keep fighting the good fight, guys! It's worth it.

Hello,

I just got a very short email from LSAC saying that "due to circumstances beyond our control" my test center location has been changed for the October LSAT. The new test center is an hour further away and I registered several months ago (way before the deadline to register). I really don't want the stress and confusion of having to drive an extra hour the morning before the LSAT. Does anyone know why this happened and if it is worth calling them to see if I can change back?

I know so many people on here are scoring 160+, but I just took my first post-CC PT and I feel great. Diagnostic was a 145, scored a 152 on my first test and scored 167 on my BR of that PT. Lots of time until the February test to continue improving, but just feeling excited to finally see some progress and to not have to guess where I'm at based on problem sets!
