Aight folks. It has become a weekly habit of mine to give some sort of motivation on these forums. Even while my confidence falters (a 164 on my last PT, WTF!) I think hearing some motivating words always helps. Even if it's a fleeting moment of increased confidence it might help you sit down and do one more question than you normally would have.
This week I'm going to twist it a bit. It'll be motivation post but also a thank you. 7Sage is hand's down the single best LSAT community around. We all know about the other forums out there. Reddit, TLS, PowerScore etc. and we all have different opinions on them. The difference is, they all lack a few very important elements. Those forums lack compassion, respect for the human, and most importantly understanding of individual needs. You can be brutally honest with someone without destroying their confidence. You can give honest advice, without taking away hope and destroying their dreams and passion. This is how 7Sage is different.
Some people consider the 7Sage community to be "too nice." They think we fill each other with unrealistic expectations and don't face reality, which to a degree, might be true. What we certainly don't do is tell people their dreams are impossible. We don't put out their fire before they even get going; and we don't tell them things are not possible.
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." - Helen Keller.
The people on this forum offer optimism. They give the people the hope and confidence they need to continue chasing their dreams. They don't belittle them, instead they point out weaknesses and tell them to push hard to achieve their goals. They share experience and wisdom but they don't stomp on people. This is why each and every one of you is amazing. This test might seem like the hardest thing you have ever done in your entire life. This test can bring people to tears of frustration. The important thing to know is you're not alone. 7Sage is a community of people that are all in the same boat. We ALL can improve on this test, and we ALL run into plateaus and walls. 7Sage is a group of people who have never met, and yet can call themselves friends. Nothing brings people closer together than a common struggle, and for each of us the LSAT is a struggle.
Thank you 7Sage for being amazing people. Keep it up.

I love you

I'm not crying.
Aw, I love this! I got a 164 on my last PT too after hitting in the 170s for three in a row. So sad. Now I'm like how did I even score that high? I guess only time will tell. Gotta keep going.
It happens to most people. Review it, learn from it, and kick ass next time
Feeling the pain. Right ther w u @RafaelBernard and @LSATcantwin . Was getting those 170s till last weeks PT.. 164 crushed me..
Keep grinding, took 78 today and got a 170!!.
BR it, squeeze it for everything its worth then... move on, thats my motto.
To quote Dory, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming"
@LSATcantwin I think you're forgetting something ... LSAT can't win. Good luck!
TWIN! Took 78 today and got a 170 as well!
babble babble
Did u get that one wrong?
@TheMikey ?
That's awesome! Congrats to both of you! Yes, gotta keep grinding....
@RafaelBernard we got this too man. Dips in score happen. I am realizing my mistakes and trying my damnedest not to make them again. Keep your mind fresh and sharp and don't burn yourself out!
babbler question? nah I didn't. did you?
I went LR: -2/-2, LG: -1, and RC: -5
3 of the 4 I got wrong in LR weren't even harder questions, which is upsetting. what was your breakdown?
Great job, Mikey! Gunna slay it next month
thanks! my RC is still complete ass but hoping for the best haha
RC -4 lg -1 LR -4/-1. Yeah wasn't warmed up for the 1st LR. Missed some easy questions
there was a main conclusion question in the 2nd LR that made me feel incompetent lol. it was probably one of the hardest ones I've ever done, and MC question typically take me seconds to do.
how did you do on the tokens passage?
So i missed the inference question about there being less abstract coins
20? yeah, that's the only one I got wrong as well lol.
literal twins
Yeah. When i did the review, i saw it but b4 i was just trying to work out all the info
let me guess, did you originally choose A? if so, TWINS!!!
Ha, this is too funny
