I've been subscribed to 7Sage for at least six months. I'm starting to run out of actually new reading comprehension passages, and I was wondering if anybody else has been running into this issue? When I select fresh on a drill, it says I don't have enough passages to fulfil this requirement. I'm confused about how this can be because I find it hard to believe that I have done all of the available Reading Comprehension passages, especially since I know that I still have more practice tests on LawHub that I have not yet taken, and I'm also not running out of LR despite training sections of that just as frequently.

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago, and I'm still figuring out what works best for me. For those of you who also have ADHD, what study strategies or schedules have helped you make progress without feeling cognitive overload or losing focus? I'd really appreciate any tips or routines that have worked for you.

Hi,

I accidentally submitted my test before completing my blind review, and I’d love the option to go back and complete it afterward so I can compare my untimed answers with my timed results and see whether my answer patterns are consistent.

Is there any way to do this after a test has already been submitted?

Thank you!

Question regarding addendum

My Bachelors undergrad GPA is a 3.81, with my final semester being a 4.0, but my cumulative is much lower because when I first started college (to get my associates degree) it was at the outbreak of COVID + my living situation was not the best and my grades suffered. Should I be worried about this as it was now 6 years ago and since then I have been constantly getting presidential's list, etc.? Is this something I should write an addendum for? I feel since I have consistently gotten dean's and presidential lists since, then those alone show that I am a good student, but is it still important to write an addendum to explain the difficult situation I was in? SHOULD I RETAKE SOME OF THE COURSES I HAVE LOWER GRADES IN FROM 6 YEARS AGO?

GUYS!! RC has always been my weakness, In my last 2 LSAT administrations, I have consistently done subpar because my RC would be like -8 to -13 scoring mid to low 150's. But recently, in the last month I have been grinding out RC and reviewing all my AC's really hard. My RC score is now consistently in the very low single digits. Furthermore, my LR has been spectacular too. This feeling is amazing - never give up y'all, because it WILL get better.

Personal Statement

Is this a good personal statement topic?

I am planning to write about how I feel that I have two feelings of "home". One in Ireland and one in the United States. I am going to write about how I have struggled with feeling stuck in between the two places, then tie it into what skills I learned as a result of my experiences. And how those skills would benefit me as an attorney.

I have been studying overall for ~6 months but more intentionally for the past 3 months. My diagnostic was a 153, my highest PT so far was a 167, and my average PT score is roughly 163/164. My goal is to break 170 in either the August or September LSAT. I feel I am plateauing in the low/mid-160s, despite consistent, thorough Blind Review, WAJ entries, and targeted drilling. Looking for a private tutor to hopefully find and address flaws or shortcomings in my study and testing habits.

I'd like to know my confidence level on each question while doing my blind review so I can see if I'm missing questions that I'm overly confident on. It would be similar to the "estimate score" pop-up at the end of section or practice test, but optional and less intrusive. Like a scale on the bottom of each BR question. Thanks!

Hi I am looking for either a study partner/group that would be interested in helping each other study, especially with memorization, and using mnemonics, and quizing each other, helping each other explain things, and who might be able to explain things differently, in a way that I can understand, perferably ppl who can explain things to ppl w neurodivergence. I am trying to take the LSATs in october which is a condensed timeline, but hopefully someone is able and willing to help me out !

RC glitch?

Hi is anyone having the issue where when you scroll towards the end of an RC passage it bumps you back to the top over and over again? I was just taking a PT and lost a lot of time trying to simply read the last paragraph because my computer kept glitching out. Has anyone found any fixes?

RC Drill vs. RC in PT

I have a problem concerning the difference in accuracy in my RC drills versus my RC in PTs. It is common for me to score -1 or -0 per passage in RC drills, but when I try and replicate this in PTs, I average around -3 per passage. What is making me do this? Any tips?

I would soooo appreciate it if we could turn off the "i" previous of why 7Sage flagged a question for Blind Review while still in the process of BR. I struggle soooo hard to resist the temptation to preview it, and see if I even got the question wrong. It can be helpful on drills and practice, but for a full PrepTest, I feel like it defeats the whole purpose of BR. For me at least!

Hi! Could we get the new lsac format on BR as well? That way we can remain consistent in our highlighting patterns and also get more practice with it?

I know this may not be a universally shared interest but just an idea!

Anyone else taking the LSAT from abroad? I'm a Peace Corps volunteer in Cambodia and since I'm not allowed to leave the country in the last couple of months of service, I'll be taking the international test date in October. I'm a bit nervous about all of the new changes to the LSAT and the online proctor, so I figured I'd reach out to see if anyone else was in the same boat. But no matter when or where you're taking it, good luck!

Hi! I am Lauren and I'm hoping to start a study group in the MD (PG County) area. I am just starting out, so not a lot of experience, but I would love to have a buddy or three to study with.

Really loving the Logic Links game as someone who needs to improve both accuracy and speed on conditional logic.

Some new terms in there that I have not found grouped in the lessons... what groups would "is enough", "is sufficient", "guarantees", and "is necessary" belong to?

RC Reading Advice

Hi! This is my second time taking the LSAT; I've been studying for about 6 months total now, and I have progressed well with LR, but I feel like my RC has been stagnant.

I find that my biggest issue is even if I spend 5-6 minutes reading the passage, I don't understand the full meaning (especially with the added timed pressure) and have to rush through the questions. Many say that taking notes on the author's opinions, tone, structure, etc. takes up too much time.

Any advice on what I should do to have better understanding of the passage? Not sure how to truly make myself be more of an "active" reader, as I see with other suggestions.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!

149 PT score

I am trying to get past the 149 jail. I have been there for weeks and I at least wanna break into the 150s. I take the test in August and September. Any tips? I haven't taken a full PT in awhile. Should I?

I had the opportunity through an internship to draft a legal memo that roughly follows an IRAC structure. Would it be a good idea to link this to my resume as I am applying? For context, I am applying with a 3.95, have a 166 on my record, but I am retaking in August; my recent PTs (and individual sections) have been in the high 170s. I would assume it's unusual, which would be a good thing, but I am also somewhat afraid that if it's "not T14 quality," it would hurt my chances. Opinions?

2

During my timed PT I am doing significantly worse than my BR. I know there is some controversy about the truth behind BR but I definitely find myself making simple mistakes when the pressure of time comes in. I don't know how to stop that. I feel like I have reached a plateau at my timed score as I keep scoring around there. I feel like something needs to click in me, but it is not and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Are you sure?
