So I just signed up in order to do digital tests to prepare July. I can’t find how to take a practice test other than a pdf version. How do I access the digital tester?

For those who took June test, I’m sure you have many questions on why 1 AC was wrong and why the other 4 were wrong. Or what would be the fastest way to solve a logic game. Please msg me or comment below if u want to have a group call where we can discuss the exam and answer any questions we have about it.

Hi Folks:

With the recently released PT 87 hot off the presses I figure it would be a great time to do another BR session.

This would be especially helpful to people who are taking the July 15th Lsat in just over two weeks.

So on Monday I will lead a BR review of the most recent PT.

We will predominantly cover the 2 LR sections but we will also touch on the LG and RC sections.

Meeting will be hosted on zoom: link is on my post below

I hope to see you July (or later) test takers there!

EDIT

Now that the PT is on 7 sage I will be hosting another BR for those who could not attend the first one.

We will cover all sections of this test.

From what I gather the RC passages were a bit tough.

I could have sworn I saw the June 2019 test uploaded but now it's gone? Does anyone know when it will be posted on 7Sage? Thanks!

Hello!

I don't post on the forums a lot, more in the core-curriculum, but I've been on 7Sage since around April 2017 when I started my LSAT journey. My diagnostic was a 147 when I took it in Feb 2017, and my desperation led me around the internet until I landed on this amazing resource. I'm so thankful to J.Y. and the team for creating a fantastic course, and to this inspiring and supportive community that's helped me weather the ups and downs.

It's taken over two years, and I've taken the LSAT four times. After a promising 166 (June 2018), disappointing 164 (Sept 2018), and a so-close-yet-so-far 168 (Nov 2018), I've finally hit a 174 on this last June exam. My first time crying happy tears in my life, I think.

Although I honestly enjoy this test, it's been an emotional rollercoaster. I know there's still more to come with admissions, but it feels so good to finally be able to say "when" instead of "if" when it comes to my applications.

Thank you all again!

Should I write seperate Why X essays for each law school I'm applying to or should I make one template essay and go back and make necessary changes depending on the law school I'm applying to.

I CANNOT thank 7Sage (especially JY) and the amazing community here enough. I honestly never thought I could reach the 170s (my first practice test was a 139), but on the June 3rd exam I scored a 171, and I COULD NOT have done it without JY's incredible teaching. The moral of the story here is that:

Thank you 7Sage. I can't thank you enough.

Edit: I don't know what month it is, apparently

Well, 7 takes and nearly 2 years of prep has come to a head! I am really happy to share that my June score was a 169! I cannot thank this community and all of you guys enough. For those of you still grinding, keep your head up and know that it will one day pay off. Seeing your dream score in an email is one of the best feelings in the world!! I ultimately learned that the only way to reach a desired end is to fall in love with and find fulfillment in perfecting the means. I already miss prepping. I will certainly make another post with more specific lessons learned and approaches that I found useful, very soon. But now I am off to celebrate!

Hi everyone. I am looking for some general honest/helpful advice from those who have a similar story to me, and who eventually learned this test:

I started studying for this test about 6 months ago, and have increased my score 17 points from my cold diagnostic to my most recently highest scored PT. However, since I have started my PT phase (about one month ago until now), I haven't seen any real change in that score. I linger around the low 150's and can't break out of it with my current prep. I also linger around mid to high 160's with BR. I don't want to keep breezing through PT's when I don't feel as though I am utilizing them well (reflected in my consistent low scores). My main frustration right now is my -10 to -11 average scoring on my LR sections. When I take my full PT's, I feel so slow and uncertain when I complete the LR sections. It is so frustrating when I am that inaccurate and then miss around -3 to -5 when I blind review. I type out explanations for the LR questions I flag, foolproof logic games everyday, and continue to reuse passages to train myself to read for reasoning structure (utilizing the LSAT trainer method, which has increased my RC greatly). However, my scores when I actually take my PT's are still horrible, so I need some guidance on how to study efficiently and how to stop wasting my PT's because my BR method is clearly not sufficient as of now, since I can't break out of the low 150's. I should also note that this is based off of the 6 PT's that I have taken over the past month and a half.

I have another full year to devote to this test, and will sit for the test probably next July. I have about 45 PT's left to utilize and have the drive to learn this test. I just need to learn how to efficiently study for it. I really do believe that this test is completely learnable and that I can increase my score another 20 points, I just also know that it will take a long time with a lot of hard work. If you have any real advice for me, I would greatly appreciate it if you would either message me privately or just comment on here.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and reply back to this.

Hi all!

I got my June LSAT score back and it's a 162 (got -8 on RC, -4 on LR part 1, -5 on LR part 2, and -4 on LG). My scores on PTs range between 160 and 166 so I was not surprised about getting this score. I plan to retake in July (just cause why not since they will give me the chance to cancel after getting the score) and September. Is it realistic to have a goal of getting 165 by July and 170 by September?

Given my score on each section, do you think it is possible to get a high 160s or 170 in September? How much should I be studying? Any other tips are appreciated.

Happy to report that I improved to a 169 on the June test! This was my second attempt, and I am signed up for July to try to get over the 170 hump. As the title alludes to, I feel like this result was in line with my typical scores, but the way I got there was...different...

Typically I get between 3 and 5 wrong in RC, usually 2 or 3 wrong in each LR, and 2 or 3 wrong in LG. Pretty even. Not so on this test. I bombed RC (probably because it was my first section and I was amped up/rushing). Missed 9 questions in the first section alone (-1 P1, -3 P2, -3 P3, -2 P4). I think I've only ever had 1 test where I missed that many in a single section and it was early in my prep. I then proceeded to go -1 LR, -0 LR, -1 LG for a -11 overall.

I've been drilling RC hard these past few weeks and participating in the blind review calls (thanks J.Y.). Hopefully my July performance will be a little more even, but I am extremely happy with this result and grateful to the entire 7sage community. For all you future test takers out there, just remember that if you have a bad section you can still perform well on the rest of the test and get a good score!

Thank you 7Sage!!

Since we can only view one question at a time for all sections, it now seems much less convenient to implement the comparative passage method in which you answer all the questions pertaining to Passage A first then proceed to reading Passage B.

For those of you used to doing this method on paper exams, what is your transition strategy?

Has anyone taken the LSAT in China recently? I am taking it in October 2019 and was planning on taking it in Shanghai as spots were available earlier this week but unfortunately no more spots are available (it is the closest center to me, only 2 hours commute). So I am either looking at Beijing or Guangzhou and I have read some not so favorable reviews for both centers. Beijing and Guangzhou are both around the same distance/same amount of money needed to spend to get there and to get accommodations (a place to stay the night before). So if anyone has recommendations between the two or has had a good experience getting into a test center that has no more available seats abroad, please let me know!

Side note: I called LSAC about Shanghai no longer having availability the day it happened and they stated to call back within the next couple of weeks and see if they opened up more test centers, but from my own research it doesn't seem likely that they would open up more centers. **edit as of 07/01/19, they added another test center in Shanghai so I stand corrected on this and will hopefully get a spot in the new center when I get my next paycheck.

Another side note: I have read all the reddit posts, previous 7sage posts, and all other forums talking about taking the LSAT in China so please do not link me to them as I have probably read them already.

One last side note: I am not considering Hong Kong as a testing center option for the time being.

Thank you to anyone who responds, I have had a rough week trying to figure this out so I appreciate any advice given.

When I hover over the newest 620 question, it says "They closely reflect the style of the MBE." I assume these are still real questions?

Will we get access to June’s exam before July’s exam?

So I took the LSAT for the first time this June, and after getting my score back I'm sitting on my hands wondering how I should proceed. I got a 170, which I know is a good score, but I feel kind of frustrated upon seeing the disclosures on my mistakes. I didn't enroll in the July test, so I would have to sit for it in September (prepping for another 3 months is...not ideal). I'm not sure whether it's worth trying again or if I should sit tight with this score.

I generally wake up early in the morning, and I am the type of person that is productive in the morning and as soon as i do something "unproductive" I don't easily get started again. My question is what do people do (outside of running and meditating) in between waking up and taking a prep test at 12 pm to stay focused? Would it be a good idea to read a somewhat easy to read book, or will that somewhat tire the brain out?

#help

Can someone please help me see how C is correct.

My thought process was this:

P1: high atmospheric winds off the western coast of Africa -> formation of hurricanes threaten US mainland

P2: abundant rain falls in SS Africa -> hurricanes hit with particular frequency

Abundant rain -> promote the ability of the winds to form hurricanes

I did not really see the flaw, but I thought there was some kind of jump. So maybe a unstated assumption.

In another blog I read said it was a correlation/causation, but I do not see that.

Hi I'm considering applying for early decision asap (so october or earliest possible). My numbers aren't spectacular: 166 LSAT with 3.78 GPA, but the LSAT predictor says ill have about a 50% chance at NYU Law and like 23% Columbia. Now, my dream school is Columbia Law, but I would be happy with NYU Law as well. Which one should I apply for? Any advice?

on pins and needles about tomorrow?! I have to actively try to think about anything and everything else.

I just got my June LSAT score back and I'm pretty disappointed. I studied for 6 months and did not get the score I was getting on my PTs at home. I think I run out of time on the day of the exam due to nerves and was wondering if anyone had some advice or could point me in the direction of a private tutor to work on timing in addition to continuing with 7sage. I could really use your help.

So ive been out of school for 5 years. I feel like my current employer would be in the best position to write my recommendation letter, however, my current employer doesnt know about my law school yet. Does anyone have tips on asking your current employer for a recommendation?

Hi All-

When negating answer choice C -> is this interpretation correct? “One eminent scientist trained by J.J. Thomson was not a creative researcher before coming to study with him. OR -> More than one eminent scientist trained by J.J. Thomson was not a creative researcher before coming to study with him.” The “at-least” in answer choice C is throwing me off. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

Some background: I previously applied to law school two years ago, I was accepted, but did not attend. I did not include a C&F addendum on my previous application and I do not plan on applying to the same school during this cycle. I am a pretty anxious person and I tend to overthink everything, of course law school applicants are no exception.

When I was around 10 - 12 I was out with a friend when he was caught shoplifting. I knew he was doing it, but did not take anything myself. We were taken to the back by loss prevention and they did call the police. My friend was older than me and he was charged with shoplifting. I am 25 now and I honestly do not remember many details from the event. I cannot decide if I should include a short addendum about the event since I was involved. Would it be silly to include? I did not include it on my previous application two years ago, if I include it now would that be an issue? (Not the same school)

The addendum would be something similar to this:

"In the interested of full disclosure I am writing this addendum to detail an event that occurred while I was a juvenile. While shopping with a friend at a Walmart, I was present when he shoplifted but did not shoplift from the store myself. The police were called but I was not charged with any crime."

As I said, I am an anxious person. My fear is that it might cause an issue in the future, maybe with the bar C&F.

Thanks for any feedback! :)
