Hello,

I began studying for the LSAT about 5 weeks ago. I took a practice test back in October on a different site and scored a 151 with logic games.

I just finished the 7Sage curriculum so I took a timed PrepTest yesterday and got a 161. My goal score is 170 or more, and I just feel really discouraged with scoring a 161 after studying all the curriculum. Is it reasonable to expect a 170 by the August LSAT dates, or should I reconsider my goal score and or test date.

I am just not sure how much improvement to expect just by drills and PrepTests. Thank you!

LG used to be my worst section and now I'm ALMOST consistently hitting -2 to 0. But it still fluctuates widly lol. I would say I'm a natural at RC and diagnostic test with -3 and I haven't prepped for it yet. Currently focusing on LR section (Timed -6 to -3; untimed -3 to 0).

Trying to hit 170 above and looking for a study buddy who can drive each other to committ to the test.

Looking for a joint study partner. Stuck in the mid-160s on PTs, and I think having another person to talk thru approaches, drills, and individual questions could be mutually beneficial. Aiming for the August Test so unfortunately don't think I'll be much help to our LG test takers in June - just focusing on LR/RC

LA traffic makes things more difficult than other cities, but open to meeting on the west side after work on weekdays, and could perhaps make it out to somewhere in Orange County on certain weekends.

I'm taking the August exam, which includes practicing with sections of LR, Unscored LR, and RC. However, I consistently perform better on the scored LR sections than the unscored ones. As a result, my overall practice scores are lower. I feel like the way they write questions for the unscored sections isn't helpful for preparing or estimating how well we'll do on the actual exam in August. Anyone else feeling like this?

I'm starting to buckle down on my LSAT study schedule and was wondering if anyone (or multiple people) wanted to form a lil accountability group chat to hold one another accountable for actually studying almost every day. I envision it could be as chill as just popping into a chat to share what you worked on for the day, or as involved as actually meeting and doing virtual study sessions. Also open to Pomodoro-style quiet "body-doubling" video sessions, which are literally just meetings where you hop on for a period of time (say an hour), share what you're working on, then at the end, share what you've accomplished (this is evidently super helpful for people with ADHD). Anywho, looking to create a lil GroupMe or Discord ASAP, so just fielding interest. Any and all LSAT goal scores are welcome, mostly just looking for people who are in the same boat -- tryna go to law school and need to study for the LSAT. Fair context though -- I'm aiming to study at least 5 to 6 days a week.

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official June 2024 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the June 2024 LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, June 11th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

  • the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.
  • a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.
  • overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3
  • The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

  • the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.
  • I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.
  • fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June
  • Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?
  • Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count
  • Good luck to everyone taking the June 2024 LSAT!

    **Please keep all discussions of the June 2024 LSAT here!**(/red)

    I'm scheduled to take my first test in August and am about 7 points away from my ideal score. My RC is pretty strong and I'm confident that won't weigh me down. But LR is a bit tricky for me, specifically the 4/5 difficulty questions. Obviously that makes sense, they're supposed to be the hardest ones. But I need to start getting more of them right if I want to break through to my target score. Any advice on how to get better at those LR questions?

    One of the things I like to is read random things to practice the foundational lessons since the LSAT questions are a finite resource. I try to do this to train my brain to read as if I was reading a stim from the LR section or a passage from RC. I also try to do the translate that was recommend to put things into ones owns words to better understand what one read,

    Would anyone be interested in creating a reading club to practice together? We could share articles or reading material. See what we missed, what works for others or what we can improve upon. Although I would like to mostly focus on non-LSAT reading material, I would not be opposed to every now and then doing some LR or RC to see how we are progressing.

    A while ago I created a discord server but it has not been active in a long time. Although, I gave admin access to someone else who is keen to have a general study group. While they do have admin access, I am not sure if they want to be part of this but I will ask them.

    7Sage Live and Studying

    Hey everyone! I am new to 7Sage and I just got the subscription after reading the Powerscore bibles. I am wondering how those of you who have subscribed to live handle studying and attending the classes. I am struggling with balancing which sessions to attend and finding the time to practice drills on my own. Do you attend most of the sessions or do you pick and chose? For me, there is a huge fear of FOMO and the live classes do help with motivation and getting going but I am on PDT time and some of the classes are crazy early at 6am. What do you all do? Also is it worth doing the 4 star and 5 star question sessions or just building up the skills in 1-3 first before even attending those days?

    I just want to confirm my understanding on this.

    Are these true?

    If sufficient fails then no valid conclusions about the necessary condition, but if sufficient satisfied or affirmed then it triggers necessary, hence we can have a valid conclusion.

    If necessary fails then it would trigger the sufficient, hence we can have a valid conclusion, but if necessary satisfied or affirmed then no valid conclusion.

    and also whats the best way to memorize this? lol

    Hi everyone I was hoping to post this in order to make a study group specifically for the Phoenix Metro, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, etc. area. We all have the same goals of getting into law school but sometimes accomplishing that is not easy alone. I've found myself immersed in months of studying with gradual gains but am hoping to push through with support from people focused on the same goals! I graduated this Spring 2023 from NAU with a BS in poli sci, I currently am working full time as a legal assistant at a PI firm and I am hoping to get people on board to study together over Zoom and etc. I hope to find I am not the only one struggling in phoenix az right now with this damn exam!

    I started a masters degree program prior and finished about 60% of the degree, including a graduate certificate, with a 4.0 grade average. However, I quit and didn't finish the program about two years ago. I'm wondering if law schools will look at this negatively in the application process since they will get my transcript and see that I didn't finish this degree? Schools generally seem to allow supplemental essays to explain things like this, should I be including that in my application? There were many reasons I quit, mainly that I decided that career path wasn't for me after all (it was a masters in economics program, and I decided I didn't want to be in a math and computer coding heavy career).

    Do the new PrepTests allow you to do blind review? Also, are these all brand new unused questions or where did they come from? I used 7Sage for well over a year to study prior to the new LSAT format but I took a break for a few months, now I am confused about what test questions I should be using for drills and which I should be using for full practice tests.

    When I was a teenager, my parents said they would only financially assist me if I attended one of the 3 bible colleges owned by our religion. Well, I got rejected from 2/3. The one I went to has a 95% acceptance rate. I think it's rather implied that if a college has a 95% acceptance rate, their curriculum is probably not that rigorous or challenging. I graduated with a 3.96 GPA, magna cum laude, full scholarship, and regret attending there everyday for numerous reasons and also because I am no longer a part of that religion.

    Will T14 or T20 law schools care about where I went? I know everyone says GPA and LSAT are the two most important pieces of your application, and although I have a high GPA, I'm trying to get a really high LSAT score to compensate for the fact that I attended a college with a 95% acceptance rate, but is this something I should worry about? I really am quite insecure about it.

    Edit: It is an accredited college by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

    hi! as the title indicates, i've done 3 PTs and went from a 166 to a 173, and then back down to a 167. i know studying more doesn't guarantee higher scores, but i was disappointed because i felt like i was on the up-and-up, lmao!

    from your experience studying, what is this kind of fluctuation indicative of? and do you have any tips for scoring consistently at your target? i really appreciate any insight, i'm getting a bit in my head about this so i imagine being grounded by the community would be helpful!

    Hello!

    I recently took PT138 from the August 2024 and later tab and noticed an LR section completely overlapped with one I had taken with a logic game (PT60). Assuming the new tests are randomly distributing an experimental RC or LR section to keep the test at 4 sections, is there is any way we can block or substitute the extra section if we already took it?

    (i.e. PT138 pulls three sections from the Dec 2012 exam and 1 from June 2010 (which in this case I already took); can we substitute that June one with a section from a different exam or just block it entirely?)

    Confirm action

    Are you sure?
