At 7Sage, our mission is to make legal education accessible, but talk is cheap and school is expensive. We’re putting our money where our mouth is and offering a series of awards to seven prospective law students. Our goal is to support aspiring lawyers who will work toward a more just future and to help increase diversity at top law schools. At least half of the awards will go to people with backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the legal field.

The winner will receive a scholarship of $7,000 to defray the cost of a legal education, a pro bono 12-month subscription to 7Sage’s LSAT prep course, and a pro bono Admissions Consulting Plus package.

One runner-up will receive a scholarship of $1,000, a pro bono 12-month subscription to 7Sage’s LSAT prep course, and a pro bono Admissions Consulting Pro package.

Five other runners-up will receive pro bono LSAT prep along with consulting or editing services.

3 Section Format

I was wondering if there was a way to take a 3-section test similar to the one they offered with the last format. I essentially just want to take a PT with RC LR LR, just complements my studying style better

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to form a study group in downtown Toronto for the September LSAT, aiming for a score of 170 or above. We can meet either in person and virtually.

The main goals for our group will be:

  • Hold each other accountable
  • Work through problems
  • Schedule practice tests
  • Keep each other motivated 😊
  • I'm preparing for the September 2024 LSAT and would love to connect with someone committed to regular, consistent study. If you're dedicated and interested, message me!

    I have been studying on and off for the LSAT since January but have really started studying in May. I am registered for the August LSAT but I want to cancel since I am not close to my goal score. My BR is closer to my goal but I struggle a lot with timing.

    However, I didn't know if it would be beneficial to take the test to get a feel for what its like to be in the testing center. I know you can score preview and cancel. But I'm not sure how admissions officers view cancellations. I plan to take again in September and then October if needed. I am applying this cycle and now I feel like I am behind. Any advice or help?

    Taking the test in August. Just finished my last practice test and I got a 168, before that a 169, and before that a 167. It feels like I just can't break into the 170 no matter what I do. Should I just be hyper-focusing now on the questions I'm getting wrong and set aside everything else?

    PT11 S3 Q17 (Amazon Climate)

    Hi, I’m confused about Q17, where the video mentions that (C) and (E) is part of Haffer’s hypothesis, but I don’t think it is? No where in the passage does it state that upland is more diverse or more dense than low land. It says that low land is drier (which could imply that rain forest-like organisms likely prefer upland), but this feels like overstepping the bounds of the types of assumptions that we as readers can make. The only thing that Haffer says about the difference between lowland and upland currently is that (1) low land is drier and (2) they differ in terms of species.

    LSAT Study Group GroupMe

    Hey everyone! Every time I post a message on one of these forums I never actually get added to anything so I thought I'd make one for myself! Drop your GroupMe ID or Phone Number and I'll make a big study groupchat for us to collaborate on getting the best score possible!

    Also considering a Discord, but we can discuss that in the groupme!

    Hey everyone!

    So I'm contemplating on whether I should re-write the diagnostic test. I wrote one a couple of months back (July, I think). Scored a 153 (LG: 15/23, LR 1 and 2: 15/25, RC: 20/27) . However, I sort of lost track of time as I was taking the test -- I got really involved with the questions because I found them intriguing and just wanted to spend time trying to figure them out. I think I probably went 10 - 15 mins over on each section. Just an estimate though, not entirely sure.

    I was contemplating on re-writing it before starting the CC. Should I? I honestly would prefer it if I wrote it after completing the CC (partly because I feel like it might be a bit demoralizing). I know people are divided on this so I'm not entirely sure if that's a good decision. Thoughts?

    Remember in "Some and Most Relationship" lesson, JY mentions that "some" and "many" can be used interchangeably because they both have subjective definition. Then how about "few"? Can I treat "few" as same as "some" and "many" since it's also has a subjective definition? Then when I negate it it would be "none" correct? Thanks everyone!!! :D

    Hello all,

    It’s safe to say that my GPA isn’t the greatest, and it’s mediocre at best. I finished college with a 3.3 GPA in Political Science, albeit with an upward trend where I was on academic probation the first year of college. I am hoping to achieve a 160 on the LSAT with one year of studying. Does anyone else have a similar GPA with a success story? I’m really hoping I am not putting in work to realize that my chances at law school are bleak. I know the acceptance predictor exists, but I have a hard time believing how accurate it is.

    Thanks everyone

    Throughout my time studying for the LSAT, drafting my law school application materials, and simply trying to find the motivation to continue on when the going got rough, I feel like I need to share my journey to law school story with others on here who may be experiencing the same things I once felt. I found these post to be extremely helpful when I was going through every stage of applying to law school, so hopefully this will help someone else too!

    Over the past two years I have spent hundreds of hours studying for the LSAT, taking it a whopping four times, to only score a 158 on my highest attempt. Don't get me wrong, this is a GREAT score, so please do NOT feel discouraged if you are scoring in this range! I am grateful for this score, however, I feel like it did not display my true academic, or LSAT potential. Unfortunately for me, I ran into countless difficulties every time I took the test. Whether it was issues with proctors interrupting and closing out my test, unable to access the online exam, and even having my wifi cutting out during the exam, I believed these issues played a big role in me not being able to perform to my test average and because of this I felt like I was not going to get into the schools I was hoping for, let alone with a scholarship.

    In November I finished up applying to all the law schools I was interested in (about 15), most of which my LSAT was below the 50th percentile, even the 25th for some. But regardless of my LSAT score, I was confident in my application as a whole and knew that deep down my GPA, resume, and essays had a good shot at making up for my LSAT score. I believed in the quality of my application and I was hopeful that the admissions committee would see this as well.

    As of today, I have received my first FULL RIDE scholarship to a T-30 school where I was below the 25th percentile for the LSAT. Even without this full ride offer, I have been accepted into many good schools with great scholarship offers. Had I listened to reddit or others on the internet who told me to not even bother applying, I would have found myself in a very different situation.

    I'm writing this all to say please do not give up or count yourself out, regardless of what others have to say. Shoot your shot and don't tell yourself no, let the school tell you no. Hopefully this is motivating for those who find themselves in a similar situation. If anyone wants to know more about my LSAT/application process please feel free to message me!

    Hi all,

    If you're interested in joining an LSAT study group (currently about 6ish of us who are consistent) where all we do is co-work on Discord, keep each other accountable via imessage and support each other message/ or comment below!

    This isn't meant to be a study group where we review questions and Blind Review, but rather an accountability group for people, specifically first-gen/POC/"nontraditional folks" who struggle to keep a consistent schedule and need a little more support.

    If you are the type of person that loves hyping/supporting other people and appreciates words of encouragement this is the group for you :)

    LSAT Accommodations

    So I'm registered to take the August LSAT and as I'm studying I've noticed it's more helpful to either be able to read it aloud or be able to have a physical copy in front of me. I assumed writing the LSAT in person in a writing centre meant it would be a pen-and-paper test however I just found out you'd still be writing it digitally. I have since decided I prefer to write it in person in a writing centre and would prefer a pen and paper test however, looking at the LSAC website I will need to apply for accommodations.

    My questions now will follow: (1) do I have enough time to apply for accommodations and still be approved before having to write the LSAT in August? and (2) I don't have any disability/ diagnosis I notice that it helps me better understand what's being said, do I have to apply for accommodations with a Qualified Professional form?

    In other words, is the only way to get this accommodation through having a diagnosed disability?

    Thank you!

    Hi!

    I'm planning on taking the August LSAT but my study plan has not been the greatest due to balancing a full time job and online classes. I am also registered for the October test and hoping to break the 170s by then.

    My diagnostic was a 156 but have been able to score in the mid 160s since then with my best one being a 168.

    Looking for someone that will be a good accountability partner especially when it comes to practice tests!!

    Hello everyone,

    After reading the LSAC page on the LSAT writing section, it mentions that I will be able to write my essay beginning at least 8 days prior to my in-person or virtual test date. However, everywhere online, I hear of people saying that anyone can write their essay after their test day. Is this true? Where do I find this information?

    How do I skip questions

    I often run into questions I have already seen on LawHub when doing drills. I would like to skip them, but if I don't provide an answer then these questions are added to questions I got wrong. Is it possible to skip questions?

    Just got my first 180!

    First PT was a 164, then a 168 - was stuck in the mid 160s for awhile, then broke through to low 170s, then mid 170s then just today I got a 180.

    Feels really good although I want to keep drilling to ensure that my real score lands somewhere close to this.

    Confirm action

    Are you sure?
