Alright, first things first, I've never made a forum post before, so I apologize if this one is bad, but I needed to get some insight from people.

As the title says, I'm a bit of a splitter. I have a CAS GPA of 3.43. I haven't taken the LSAT yet, but I took my diagnostic about a month ago and scored a 157, and I'm averaging around a 164 now. I'm aiming for around a 168, but I believe it's realistic that I could score a little higher.

The issue is that I transferred to a different school after freshman year, and it hadn't occurred to me that law schools would look at my grades from that school. Not counting my freshman year I have a 3.65, and every year after freshman year I have consistently increased my GPA. I genuinely believe that I had extenuating circumstances that affected my GPA freshman year, and I'm planning on submitting an addendum, but I'm wondering how much of a difference it'll make.

If one ignores my freshman year grades, then I have a competitive GPA and a presumably competitive LSAT for some higher ranked schools (t50 I'm guessing), but obviously these grades will not just be ignored. I guess what I'm asking is whether or not I could still consider myself to be a competitive candidate for these schools despite my low GPA, or if I should just significantly decrease my expectations.

For context, I have one or two good softs, but generally not great. I have held multiple leadership positions in clubs and my fraternity, was a varsity athlete for two years, briefly competed in powerlifting, and worked with a local music artist who had an album reach the iTunes top 200 chart. I'm also working on an Economic Honors Project, where I'm creating an index to calculate a country's level of geopolitical risk, doing a research fellowship on sustainable energy policy, and am a writing tutor at my school.

My mom suggested that I stay in college for an additional term after I receive my degree to boost my GPA, but this would have pretty marginal benefits, and be pretty expensive, so I think this isn't a great idea.

Sorry I probably rambled for a bit. Thanks for any advice.

Hello, I recently subscribed to 7sage. I already am subscribed to LawHub Advantage Plus using the same email address as my 7sage account. However, when trying to interact with the site I get the above error message. How can I resolve this issue? If not, what steps can I take to receive a refund, as I can't use my account?

Hi guys!

I just wanted to know if I can receive accommodation during the LSAT. I am going through surgery soon in July and would like to take the LSAT in august. I would like to have some extra time to finish this exam.

Has anyone gone through a similar situation? What documentation would I need to submit? What are the chances that I will receive this accommodation?

Thanks!

Hi! I live in the DC area and was wondering if there is anyone else out there who would like to get together and do some studying! Feel free to message me.

I can't believe I'm in this position! Does anyone have any insight on how likely it is to be accepted from the WL after an interview? Do they interview a lot of people on WL to give themselves options? Or do they interview people they are likely to accept. Any advice is appreciated!

Hello! I am planning on taking the LSAT in August. Does anyone want to study together or begin a study group chat? I work full-time, so my best availability is evenings and weekends.

I am testing tomorrow for the second time. I got a 164 in April. (I've seen a 167 twice). If I need to, I will retest for a third time in October. I need people who are dedicated and consistent as accountability partners. My goal score is 170s because I want to be an LSAT tutor eventually. Please DM me if you are interested.

Thank you

Hello aspiring lawyers!

I am taking the August LSAT and was wondering if anyone would be interested in studying and cracking the LSAT (LR&RC) in preparation for the upcoming August LSAT. Please let me know!

People on Reddit or this forum will mention that they drill a section but I wonder if they just use LawHub or something. On 7Sage there's more of an emphasis to drill question types but I don't want to muddy up the practice tests. I'm shocked that it's so difficult find this feature?

Hi guys, Does anyone else feel like they are improving but it is not translating to a better LSAT score??? Like I feel I'm getting to more questions more efficiently and I have a better grip on the test but yet I'm not improving. I'm feeling a bit discouraged still stuck in the 140's. Wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this or feels the same way.-Eric

Hello,

I am a bit lost on how frequent I should be taking PTs. I took a diagnostic test a while back, but haven't taken one since as I am still working on the LR lessons. I have heard a lot of mixed advice on how often to take PTs, so I guess I am just wondering how often you all take PTs. Should I take a PT 2-3 times a week once I am finished with my LR lessons? Or should I begin taking them now? I also plan to take the Aug. test.

I’m trying to gauge whether or not my experience is normal.

How much time does everyone spend on reading the passage? JUST reading it, not answering the questions.

Every time I review a test or drill, 7sage tells me I’m spending about 2-minutes per passage while also telling me that my target time should be closer to 7-10 minutes. I’m not getting every question correctly so that’s not even a flex. I seem to be struggling to slow down but maybe this is just growing pains.

Hi Friends! is anyone out there applying or applied to University of San Diego school of Law? I am to so lets chat! lol I have some questions and can also offer priceless advice. Talk soon!

I am taking October test, so I want to form a study group that studies LR and RC.

I am usually available on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Please send me a message so we could discuss further!

Since this upcoming June test will be the last test that includes the Logic Games are we predicting the games will be relatively easy or relatively challenging? For example PT 80 Logic Games were extremely hard for me, I couldn't even finish the section. Whereas the LG for the June 2007 PT were relatively easy? What are your thoughts?

Hello,

The previous prep tests that included LG had PDF versions of them. I usually like to print them out and take them that way so that I can mark it up. I don't see PDF options for the new prep tests. I'm retaking the test in August and was wondering if 7Sage will provide PDF versions of the new PTs.

Thanks,

I just began the 7Sage curriculum and want to take a diagnostic test to identify my starting point. I plan on taking the test post August 2024. Is there a test that I should take or do I just pick one? I figure I should start with the older ones now and save the most recent tests for later?

I just finished the Core Curriculum. I want to take my first diagnostic test. How can I find the diagnostic test or how can I go about it? Thanks!

Hello All!

I am hoping to take the test in August 2024 & October 2024 before submitting my apps in November, and I just switched my syllabus to the newer August format…but I am alarmed that that is not enough content to study with. Am I wrong? Any tips or advice for studying? Anyone know if there is something I am missing? How are y’all prepping?

Thank you :)

Over the course of using 7Sage, I sometimes get headaches and eye fatigue from staring at the bright white layout for long periods of time. Today I got that same eye fatigue and headache and decided to see if 7Sage has a nightmode, and they do! Great! I turned it on and to my disappointment it's just inverted colors and... it's really bad.

First, everything is inverted, and it just looks bad. The color scheme is now elementary school Halloween party, and with profile pictures (and all pictures) being inverted, as another user with my complaint said https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/34156 , gives off paranormal horror film vibes. Scary! Also the results page for drills and prep tests is a complete eyesore. The entire site turns from pretty to ugly :(

The other user I linked to mentioned that there are some problems in the lesson and explanation videos because of the inversion, like when pictures are brought up or when colors are used and referenced. I don't know how that could be fixed other than rerecording each lesson in nightmode (lol,) but out of the hours of videos on the site, those specific issues are so few and far between it's not really an issue to me.

There are also some visual problems not entirely related to aesthetics. The most glaring is the highlight function on drills and prep tests. I like to use all three highlighter colors on reading comprehension, but nightmode's inversion makes the yellow and orange practically indistinguishable. The current nightmode also puts more strain on the eyes. The inversion of everything makes the color scheme visually hard on the eyeballs, and some things are just crazy bright, like the bright orange at the bottom of the screen. Some buttons are harder to read and find, especially when it's a dark orange or dark gray on black. The pitch black background (as opposed to a grayscale design) contributes to the visual fatigue as well. White text on the black background creates a high contrast making everything slightly harder to read.

Currently, nightmode does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do! I, and I assume many other users, would really enjoy a more visually comfortable studying experience! Please make an update!

Thanx for reading :)))

I am feeling overwhelmed and stressed with my first lsat exam coming up next week. I don't feel very prepared and i feel alone in this process. I think i am becoming mentally drained and taxed from studying and not seeing results I want. i am super busy and a undergraduate playing soccer and working. I have been studying for 6 months for the june lsat 3 days a week for 2 plus hours. Im not sure if im studying wrong. i take practice exams twice a week. Is reviewing and doing the drills the best way i learn i feel like the way im studying now isnt working and i would like to try somthing new for when i take the lsat exam in November. im tyring to decide if i should just cancel the june lsat and take my first one in novmber or at leat take it and get some exprience im not sure.

I have both accounts necessary paid for and the site is still telling me I don't have an active account.

I had originally been scheduled to take the LSAT in June, deferred it until August due to my strengths being in LR and RC, and now am unsure of how to proceed.

I have an extremely firm grasp on the LR and RC and do not wish to study the small, pedantic details for a 2nd and 3rd time because I do not want to get into my head and overthink.

But also I am worried that if I strictly take practice tests for 2 months straight, I will be burned out for when I take the test in August.

Has anyone else experienced this and how did you proceed?

-Thank You

I started using V1 back in February when I thought that I would take the LSAT with the logic games, but now I need to push back more because I’m not ready. I’ve done over 300 of the LR lessons, when I switch to V2 it goes back to 0. Can I just keep using the V1 for LR if I’m taking the LSAT August and later?

I subscribed to the LawHub Advantage this morning after linking with my 7sage account and for some reason it is not recognising the fact that is has linked and I'm not sure why. What can I do to fix this??
