I just finished the core curriculum. I am taking the actual October. How many should I take a week until then? Where should I start, should it be more recent tests or should I start along somewhere in the PT50s?

So I was setting up the rules for Game/Preptest 44, sec 3 game 3.

Game stem: A tour group plans to visit exactly five archaeological sites. Each site was discovered by exactly one of the following archaeologist - F,G,O and each dates from The 8th,9th, Or 10th century. The tour must satisfy the following conditions:

There was this rule that stated: Exactly one of the sites was discovered by Gallagher, and it dates from the tenth century.

  • What is the term “exactly” modifying ?!What fact is it stressing!!!
  • 2)How do I know G and 10 are not a Block, I’m sure many people create it as a false block. What modifier in the statement let’s me know it’s conditional ?!?

    3)when it does state “exactly”- is it implying that G is in the game ONLY once Since the game stem isn’t requiring all variables to be present, but that ALL sites be occupied by once the archeologist and when G is Summoned it’s carrying the century Variable with it ?

    When I took the LSAT for the first time I did horribly. I got a 143 and was in the 20th percentile.

    After 4 months of studying (2 of which were here on 7sage - the other 2 were on Khan Academies official LSAT course) I took the June Flex test and got my results back.

    I have increased my score by over 20 points to165 which puts me in the 91st percentile.

    I am about to register for the August test so I will be here for a while but I really wanted to express my gratitude to the entire 7sage community and to JY in particular!

    As of today, the trajectory of my life has changed. I am forever grateful.

    Now I can confidently say "I'm [going to be] a lawyer" in my best Harvey Levin impersonation.

    HI everyone! First post on here. I found out this morning that I scored significantly lower on my June LSAT-Flex than my PT average. Just signed up for 7Sage Ultimate+ to keep practicing, but I am feeling SO discouraged. What I thought would be my safety schools are now barely target schools. I am scheduled to retake in August - I know this is a quick turn around, but I want the option to apply early. Does anyone have advice for improving my score and/or getting my confidence back up?

    I received a 167 on the June test and have a 3.98 GPA. Georgetown and Vanderbilt are top 2 choices, but I'm wondering if I should retake the test in August to increase my chances of admission and scholarships. I am a little worried about getting a lower score, which I don't anticipate but I guess is always possible.

    Just took my first LSAT in June and received a 170. I had been consistently scoring 172s on practice tests and sometimes hitting 174. Timing was never an issue for me and I usually scored -0 on LG. Any advice for retaking it in August? Do you recommend redoing the curriculum or just sticking to taking practice tests?

    I'm looking for other motivated test takers to discuss getting as close to a 180 as possible (including, of course getting a 180). Anyone interested?

    I think its important to talk to people who have similar goals, both for motivation and for sharing tips, study habits, and generally getting into the mindset that scoring a 180 is very doable. In talking to others who have scored a 180 or close to it on the actual test, they have also talked about the importance of finding study partners who have similar goals.

    Let me know if you're interested!

    My last three PTs were 175, 176, 179

    hi, this might be a silly question but after you input your answers for a preptest into the answer sheets on 7sage, how do you go about inputting answers for a blind review session on that same preptest?

    (i did a preptest directly on lawhub and then manually transferred all the answers into the 7sage answer sheet for that preptest, now i'd like to redo the test using the blind review method, but not sure how to put in my answers on 7sage).

    Hi everyone, I really want to improve my LR score, so I am currently working through the Loophole book. I'm trying to learn how to do CLIR-ing properly, but I'm not sure if the loopholes I am finding for argument stimulus-types are correct. Does anyone have any tips for dealing with this/or any insight on how this strategy helped them improve in LR? Thank you so much in advance!!

    Hey yall. I need some help. I looked at my score this morning, and I am no where near where I want to be! This was my first LSAT, so I expected a lower score and to take it again, but I am still FREAKING OUT. I am planning on signing up for the August test, and I am REALLY hoping that it is a FLEX exam. I have terrible ADHD and I don't know if I can make it through a five section test phahahah. I am wanting to make about a 15-16 point jump before I feel comfortable to start applying. Is it too early to take it again? Should I give myself more time? Also, I still have access to my Kaplan self study plan until the end of August, so I plan on continuing to use that. I spent wayyy too much time getting through all of the fluff in videos and lessons, so I think that was my problem (very frustrating because I spent way too much on the program). I am going to commit to focusing on practice rather than content this go around and hope that I can get where I want to on my next exam. Please leave some suggestions as to if taking the exam again in August is too soon and ANY tips on how to increase my score! Thanks!

    Hi everyone,

    I just took the June flex exam after spending only less than a month on 7sage (unfortunately I didn't find this website in time). I'm not satisfied with the score I got the on the June exam, I had only spent two months prior to it getting ready, and am planning to take it again at the end of August. I've already gone over most of the videos available in the course, should I start from scratch or focus more on taking more prep tests and my weaknesses? Any advice would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    I just got the same score as my diagnostic, been prepping for about a month. My scores seems to fluctuate widely and the logic games section kills me every time. I'm genuinely getting worse and worse at this

    Hi everyone,

    So I started my LSAT journey 2 months ago and got a 144 diagnostic.

    I had this idea in my head (probably ill-founded) that 4 months is all one should need to study if you study close to fulltime.

    So I put in 4/5 hours a day for a good month and half and have now upped my efforts to around 6-8 hours a day -this is chiefly due to anxiety about not being prepared for the August test.

    We're two months out and I have only completed 65% of the CC (I'm trying to be thorough: BR, Foolproofing LGs etc).

    I'm getting pretty anxious because I've only started LG a week ago and while fairly accurate, I'm quite slow at them. Moreover I've seen many people here mention that one should FP the LGs from PT 1-35 before taking PTs and there's no way I have time to do all of that- I could maybe, maybe do half.

    Best case scenario I finish the CC and have a month to take PTs. I guess I just wanted to reach out and see if people have seen substantial improvement with only a month of PTing, given they've spent a good amount of time on the fundamentals.

    I've signed up for the October test as well just in case, although even then, I've heard a month between takes is too short?

    I'd really appreciate any advice!

    Hey all, I have a question about admission 2021. Recently I‘ve heard a lot of people are going to or planning on deferring.

    So if there are too much people deferring this year, would that be shrinking the next cycle admission pool?

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    The June flex scores are suppose to be released today. Will LSAC send an email or do we have to check our account?

    I am far too nervous to check my account.

    Also, we have until July 31st to write our essays right? I already have one on file but wanted to do it again.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm taking an Aug test and need an advice on how to continue studying before the test.

    I completed the CC and did 4 untimed PTs with full BR. It takes me somewhere 5-6 days to complete one PT, I translate and write down every stimulus, write down my assumptions and go through every AC in details. With only couple of months left I worry that I won't be able to go through enough PTs if I do one PT a week averagely.

    I'm really struggling with the daily schedule. I'm studying 6 days a week, 5-6hrs a day. Should I be doing untimed PTs or should I start timing them? Should I be doing a full PT or just one section at a time? How should I schedule LR, RC, and LG so I spend enough time on each section before the test?

    Any advice would be appreciated or if you could share your daily schedule 😊

    Need advice from anyone who has participated in 7Sage admissions consulting. I have been looking into the option that provides unlimited edits for one document, so I could really focus on my personal statement. For reference, I took the June test so I don't have my scores back, but I have been averaging a 169 on PTs and really want to push my application into some top-tier schools. However, I will be paying for law school apps and haven't been able to work many hours due to COVID, so I really want to be sure that paying for any sort of consulting would be worth the money. Please let me know your experience or any thoughts you have!!

    I have been studying for about 2 months and am still in the LR section of the CC. I am getting nervous as to how much time I will be able to devote to PTs before my exam in August to have a chance to retake before fall 2021 admissions. Approximately how many should be completed and BR before taking an actual test? Does anyone have any advice on getting through the CC quicker, or which sections would be most important to focus on? Any advice in general would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

    Hey all! I have been wanting to search for threads to see what people are saying about the LSAT-FLEX. However, when trying to search for anything related to the FLEX in the search bar, nothing relevant is provided in the search... anyone else having this or a related issue in the discussion search? Thank you!

    I was reading the LSAT FAQ on LSAC, and I noticed this statement: "The online, remotely proctored LSAT-Flex tests do not count toward this total as they were administered as an emergency response to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic." I am a bit unclear on what this means. So if we take 2 LSAT Flex tests, they will not be counted towards the limit of 7 tests in a lifetime?
