Hi! I was hoping if some of you could share your thoughts on a concern of mine. I am worried that if law schools decide to hold their classes online this fall that we may see a lot of admitted students deferring their admissions to the following year, making the applicant pool for anyone applying in this upcoming cycle of admissions harder. Worst case, if this is true, I’m thinking it could be worth waiting a year to apply. I know it is too early to tell, but I wanted to share this concern in hopes that someone might have some interesting thoughts or useful info on the matter! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I just found this app and signed up for free trial. I see lot of have written good reviews and positive feedbacks. Is anyone willing to give me an insight and better understanding of the site as I am still deciding whether to sign up for monthly purchase or not. Thank you very much!

I cannot find fault with A or E. Both seem to fit the pattern of reasoning. E seems to be more applicable, but that doesn't make A wrong. Any help appreciated!!

Quick question: I ran out of digital tests for my grandfathered premium account so I've switched over to using LSAC's Prep Plus system. I input the answers after to get my result on 7sage for analytics sake, all good so far.

Is there any way I can input my BR answer choices to continue getting that distinction between my BR score and my normal test score? I want to continue tracking it via 7sage if possible.

Help.

I'm applying this cycle with a 157 from the Jan LSAT.

I have applications pending at several schools, but tbh, this score prob isn't even high enough to earn me a spot on the wait list at some of my reaches. I was signed up for the March/April exams, but ofc this was cancelled.

I'm currently not scoring higher than a 163. My target is a 166-167.

I have about a month until the May test. Is this enough time to reach my target score? Or am I better off just signing up for June?

I need to tighten my timing on games, but otherwise I have a good handle on them. My weaknesses are LR (timing/underconfidence issue, usually end up with 3-4 qs at the end that I can't get to) and RC (I really can't finish more than 3 passages on a section).

My blind review scores are consistently in the 171-178 range.

To mention, I currently work from home full-time about 40 hrs a week. I have evenings and weekends to myself. Any tips on where I should be focusing my time? Also, realistically speaking, am I giving myself enough time to reach my target score? I'm nervous about being underprepared and fumbling on test day.

Any tips/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I took the January LSAT which is late for this cycle but I have heard from every school except one. The school I haven't heard from is one I am very interested in but I also have some good offers. I have been holding off on paying any deposits until I hear from this one school but most deposits are due on April 15. This school has my file completed on Feb 11, it is now April 13 and still nothing. I am considering contacting them, any advice on how to do it? Or maybe don't do it?

Hi,

This question had really tricky answer choices. I was wondering:

How can A be the answer when the word "ignore," according to the dictionary definition and my past LSAT experience, means that the person intentionally disregarded the negative environmental effects of the satellites, and "fail to consider" (in the stimulus) doesn't seem to have this same meaning?

How can A be the answer when "tend to" means "most", and it seems like we don't have enough evidence to make that deduction? After all, C is wrong because "usually" means "most," so why doesn't this apply to A?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Experts/Tutors,

I have a quick question with respect to watching the question-type example videos. I'm at weakening type questions, and watching the question-type introductory videos, where JY goes over example questions.

Question: Is it more effective to watch the video and follow JY as he answers the example question, or to attempt the problem/do blind review yourself, before watching the video?

I am aiming for the Asia June 28th LSAT. I have finished the core curriculum and have about 2 and a 1/2 months of practice tests til test day. How many practice tests should I go through? Should I start immediately from test 36 forward using timed conditions or use 1-2 weeks of tests prior to 36 untimed for initial repetition before adding in timing?

Okay so this is not a personal flex at all. I started out at a 152 with my diagnostic test almost exactly 3 months ago when I began studying. Now, thanks to JY and 7Sage in general, I just hit a 170 today. I seriously would not have been able to do this without 7Sage. Of course it takes a lot of practice and devotion, but I think that the way in which concepts are clearly explained and the blind review method are a huge help. As an aside, JY's often funny commentary throughout lessons makes it all the more enjoyable. I plan to keep studying as I'm taking the July LSAT, and hopefully I'll continue to improve. For all the people out there wondering if putting in the effort is worth it- IT IS!

BR RC?

Hi Everyone! I attended the skipping webinar yesterday which I must say, was SUPER helpful! But I am curious to know how do people generally BR RC?

My strategy is this:

  • BR in the BR digital section
  • If I get any questions wrong, try to figure out the correct answer and the reasoning for each AC, and then watch JY's explanation
  • If I get more than one question wrong in a passage, or I found the passage to be difficult print out a fresh copy of the passage and questions (bc all the problem sets are timed) and do a low res summary next to each paragraph, redo each question, and do the same as #2 for any question I am confused on or got wrong).
  • Is this the wrong or right way of BRing RC? I am so confused!

    Thank you in advance!!

    Hi all,

    I'm at the beginning of a career transition from professional film production to law. I received a journalism degree in 2018, but otherwise have zero pre-law experience. I took the diagnostic prep test tonight and got a 144 with a 149 BR. Can anyone give me context or comparison on whether this is a reasonable score to move up from in the next four months before the August 29 test? I'm having a hard time finding any information online about good vs not so good baseline scores.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello 7 sage community!

    Just wanted to give those studying hard for the LSAT a glimmer of hope during these hard times. 3 years ago, I was studying for the LSAT for the 3rd time. I had been studying on and off since I graduated undergrad in 2014. It was not until I committed to 7sage and studied full time in 2017 that I began to see results. My first score was a 148 and my final score was a 159. I was one correct question away from a 160. Although that one point was extremely frustrating, I took my chances and decided to apply to schools anyway.

    I know there are a TON of overachievers on this site and you'll find plenty more in law school --- but my 159 helped get me a full- tuition scholarship at Northeastern University School of Law (NUSL). For those wanting to go into public interest, I highly recommend this school. It has solidified my path to pursue social justice and luckily, I will graduate debt-free! That being said, a 159 is still below Northeastern's median LSAT score of 162. I had a ton of public interest experience, am a minority (child of Mexican immigrants), and the first to graduate college in my family. I think this diversity came to an advantage as over half of the school is white. Nevertheless, the big picture is that I am not perfect, I did not have super high LSAT scores, my GPA was a 3.25, but a full ride is attainable! I am now a 2L at NUSL and would be happy to answer any questions you may have!

    Happy studying,

    Stephanie

    I have just completed the June 2007 exam and I am scoring considerably higher on the blind review. I think if I started reading faster which would perhaps enable me to get through all of the questions this could considerably help improve my score. I did not complete each section before the time was up.

    Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?

    Hello 7 Sagers,

    This is a shout out to all you folks who are stumbling along in the LSAT, maybe not getting as high a score as you want, and probably (like me) getting frustrated. After studying for 6 months, I took the LSAT for the second time last January, and I scored a point LOWER than a year prior.

    I struggled with the LSAT, and although I scored in the 90th percentile on some practice tests, I was in the 150s for both my exams.

    But I put together a very good application, and wrote a strong personal statement. There was only one law school in Canada that I wanted to attend, and that was here at the University of Alberta.

    I was accepted today.

    So for all you folks that are struggling and frustrated, keep fighting. And if you're planning on a law career because you have a strong sense of justice, and it's not about the money, then fight even harder.

    Announcement from LSAC:

  • The April LSAT is canceled
  • Students can take the LSAT from their home computers in late May
  • More details:

  • April LSAT registrants are automatically registered for the online LSAT—"LSAT-Flex"—in late May, but can switch to another date
  • LSAC will release the date of the May LSAT-Flex test by April 17

  • LSAT-Flex is different. It will only include one section of Logical Reasoning instead of two. So three scored sections total (LR, LG, RC + an unscored LSAT Writing section). The test will be scored on the usual 180-point scale, though, with an annotation from LSAC that it's an LSAT-Flex score.
  • Students who were granted accommodations for April will get them for May
  • LSAC's full announcement.

    April 16 Update:

  • May LSAT-Flex to be administered the week of May 18
  • Specific date and time to be scheduled individually with LSAC

    Hi everyone,

    I'm still in the beginning of LSAT prepping (currently going over the BR method).

    I know that when taking quizzes you can change the timer to 50% more time, untimed etc. I think I would be more comfortable with shutting the timer off for the time being because I get too caught up in not having enough time and therefore rush through the questions.

    So my question(s) for you is 1) was this something you did as well? 2) if so, when did you start adding time?

    Thanks!

    LSAT

    Hello all. I currently have a high score of 140 (which is my third time: 123,136) and i'm shooting for a 150.

    what's the possibility of getting a 150- my goal so far. Thank you.

    Hi all,

    I am retaking the LSAT and I was wondering whether to do untimed full-length tests first before timing myself. What have your experiences been? How did you structure your study time after covering the basics.

    Thanks!

    With quarantine, I have nothing but time... which can be good and bad.

    I am scheduled to take the July test so I do have some time.

    I burnt out a week ago because I was studying 5+ hours daily and waking up super early trying to get myself in a routine and become a morning person (100% not a morning person). My body was NOT a fan of this.. I had to stop studying for the past week because my brain became mush and fried.

    I need help making a realistic schedule... But I worry, how am i supposed to get through so many PT's before July if I am only studying 3-4 hrs daily as some people suggest you do in order to not burn out?

    I don't know how to achieve balance study/life AND get all the work done that I need to. If you could share with me your study schedule ideas for the day and week, and maybe even how you are de-stressing during quarantine - that would be so appreciated.

    Thank you so much everyone
