Hi! Since the August LSAT Argumentative Writing section opened today, I had a few questions.

1. How long will it take for the score to be processed, and does processing time impact when I get my score back? I want to spend this week focused on the score part of the LSAT and am going on a 7-day trip the day after my LSAT, so I was wondering when the latest I can do the writing section to still get my score on time?

2. I read the 7Sage writing module, and since it was written a few years ago, have there been any changes to the weight of the writing section for my application?

3. What is the minimum length I should be aiming to hit?

Thanks!

Hey everyone! I am taking the LSAT in September. I have gotten my LR scoring up SO much throughout the last few months and I feel the only thing that is stopping me from hitting that 170 mark at this point is my RC which is so frustrating. Does anyone have any tips and tricks for improving on those sections? Thanks so much in advance.

I think its possible for me to get a 170 by then from what I'm getting now . Here's hoping

I'm taking the Aug 8 LSAT. I got a 167 back in early July which I was thrilled by because I'm aiming for a high 160s score. But since then, I've gotten a 159 (took coming off a red eye so whatever), 162, and a 161. I feel like the harder I work to drill certain question types, review intensely, the dumber I'm getting. Everyone online says to taper off the week before the exam, but I want to cram and I just don't know what do do. Eek!

The question identifiers on the pdfs are in the format PT150-S4-Q6. If you copy and paste into the drill creator or into the question search it won’t yield anything because it needs to be in the PT150.S4.Q6 format. So I waste time replacing “-“ with “.”. Is it possible to have the pdfs use the more easily searchable format? Thank you!

Hi 7Sagers,

I'm planning on taking my LSAT in October and need to increase my score by 7 points, but with work and other commitments, I find myself so unmotivated to study.

If anyone would like to band together for a study group 2-3 times a week, let me know! I'll make a group chat and we can work out what days work for everyone. I'm also open to having a Discord server for those not even in NYC. Let's get into our dream schools together!

Hello! I'm a rising senior she/her and I'm hoping to take the October test, and am currently PTing in high 160s. I'd really love it if I could meet with someone or a group on some kind of basis either to study together or just to stay accountable. I'm super open to whatever schedule might work best for you, but I'm really hoping I can be consistent with meeting on a daily or weekly basis :') so please reach out to me at 404-721-8053 if you're interested in setting up study sessions!!

Was this a harder test? I'm honestly just really confused at the drop. This test alone made me reschedule my LSAT from september to november. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi! My plan is to take the October LSAT, but I keep procrastinating studying and tend to do a lot better when I have accountability buddies and people to talk through questions with! If anyone is interested, please feel free to join and send a message :)

Hello friends! I've missed seeing your faces! Stoked to announce I'm back doing a bit of live content again.

This Weds 6-7:30pm EST I'm hosting a group therapy session in advance of the August test. That moniker started off facetious but turned out to be pretty apt. Come share stories, worries, and inspiration with your fellow Augustinos.

I'm also gonna start doing the Lofi stream again every Tuesday 5-8pm EST, this time on the 7Sage platform instead of YouTube. You can find it in the normal classes list.

so if it made you laugh, you let me know

Does anyone have advice on how to get close the gap from a real pt compared to your blind review score? I consistently get way lower pt scores compared to blind review. I drill and drill and I still can’t seem to overcome this hurdle.

Hi all. If I am still wobbly at argument identification, should I continue on with the study plan or circle back to that part until I am consistently identifying argument structure. I struggle a lot with differentiating context and premises for some reason...

Hi everyone!

I’d like to put together a study group for those who have a hard time studying alone/would like an accountability partner.

If anyone is interested send me an email!

Two pieces of feedback on the study plan feature:

1. More control over individual tasks: I completed an LR section but the system didn't register it as done. It would be helpful to have the ability to manually check off a task when the system misses it. Along the same lines, it would be great to be able to skip specific tasks entirely. For example, I have a limited number of LR sections remaining and would prefer not to use them up on assigned tasks, or to be able to use sections that aren't 100% fresh (some of mine are 80-90% fresh).

2. Section targeting: It would be useful to adjust individual study blocks to target a specific section type more heavily. RC is my bigger weakness, so being able to shift the balance away from LR and toward RC within the plan would make it much more effective for me!

Hi everyone,

I have been struggling with RC for quite a while and I was wondering if everyone could please comment some tips that they wish they knew when they were struggling or some other general information that helped them.

Thank you soo much!

Hi all!

I'm preparing to take the September LSAT and am looking for some advice on the best tips & tricks to get myself ready. I've heard some not-so-great things about the environment at the in-person testing centers, so I was wondering if anyone had any advice about how to best set myself up for success. For instance, when I'm studying, should I be in complete silence (which would be ideal) or allow distractions (other people talking, not necessarily TikTok brain rot breaks!)?

Also, any tips about staying focused and increasing stamina would be greatly appreciated -- especially ones that could be recreated on test day!

Thank you!!

Can someone give me some good advice about building up my stamina more for the final section?

For more context, given that I had already had 2 RCs, I knew by the final section that the LR "counted" and can't help but thinking this was an emotional distraction. I think it over inflated the section, made me more stressed, and less focused. I am thinking that I'll spend the week doing timed sections and working on my mental prep before and during those. I'll be taking another PT on Saturday. Any other advice for working on stamina?

That was RIDICULOUS!!!!!! Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All sections were diabolical. I cannot stand the exams that are "harder" with a "gentler curve" because they destroy my mental and my ability to focus. I AM ACTUALLY DEVASTATED after doing that test. WHAT THE HELL WHY WAS IT SO EVIL???????????????????????????? what in the actual fuck was that like I'm sorry WHAT THE HELL????

Need to get confident in trusting my intuition more as the only misses came from reading far too deeply into the stimulus/answer choices, and switching out of the right answer last-minute!! It's frustrating knowing I had the right answers but talked myself out of them, and in retrospect they feel like pretty stupid mistakes, but I'm hoping to channel this as a lesson for the August LSAT :)

Hey everyone, I'm asking for advice from anyone who's been in my position and was able to get into the 170s consistently. I've been able to get a 170-171 twice on my PTs, but after that, I've just been getting 167-169. From my last PTs, it seems like RC has generally been dragging my score down but am not sure how to address it. Should I just do some untimed RC and read more?

Also, I don't know if it's because my sleep schedule is off or if I'm burnt out, but I've recently been crying a lot over this exam. I get really frustrated when I don't get a 170 or above and it ruins my day. I feel like this is a sign I should probably take some time off but am not sure.

Thanks!

For the most recent admission cycle, there are close to 9k applicants with a score above 170 according to LSAC's official data. Yet class sizes at T14 only add up to about 4.5k. Considering most T14s have 25th percentiles below 170, this means that less than 40% of the 170+ scorers end up attending a T14.

Maybe a low GPA could account for some, but I find it hard to belief that 60% of 170+ scorers have a GPA so low that it raises a red flag. Moreover, I feel like most who score above a 170 should be competent enough to not bomb the soft factors too badly.

What are people's thoughts on this? Is it just that 173 or maybe even 175 is now the new 170, or have I overlooked some common pitfalls?

I've been writing explanations/tips for wrong answers in the notes of corresponding questions, and I'm now trying to compile them. Is there a page on 7Sage to conveniently access all the notes I've written?

hi all,

i'm an international applicant with a bachelor's and a master's in law completed on two different continents, and i'd love some guidance on how the process works for people in situations like mine, plus a chance to connect with others navigating something similar.

i'm mainly trying to understand how transcript evaluation works when your academic record doesn't come from a single, familiar system. i know LSAC does its own foreign credential evaluation, but i'm curious whether its somewhat of a disqualifying factor to have prior education outside the US, especially when the original grading system (percentages, first-class/second-class honours, etc.) doesn't translate neatly into a GPA. on a related note, i'd love to hear how others have helped admissions committees actually understand their record when the numbers alone don't tell the full story.

i'm also trying to figure out how to frame my story well, since i already have both a bachelor's and a master's in law. if you've been in a similar position, i'd love to know how you approached the "why more law school" narrative in your personal statement or addenda, so it reads as purposeful rather than repetitive.

and practically speaking, for anyone who's had to coordinate document authentication across two countries, i'd really appreciate knowing how early you started relative to your deadlines. trying to avoid any last-minute scrambling.

beyond the practical questions, i'd genuinely love to connect with others on a similar path, people with law degrees from more than one jurisdiction, working through LSAC's international process. if that's you, feel free to comment or send a message. it would be wonderful to compare notes and maybe build a small, supportive group as we all figure this out together.

thanks so much in advance for any insight!

Hello, recently when an RC question stem refences text directly in the stimulus, it no longer appears highlighted in blue within the actual passage.

I was wondering if this is intended, and will appear this way during test day, or if it is a glitch on my end.

Thank you!
