Hi there. IMO, deciding to cancel depends largely on (1) your goal score relative to your average scores; (2) when you need/want to start law school; (3) your responsibilities outside of learning the LSAT.
Going from an average of 160 to 140 is a s…
Hi everyone. Sorry that I haven't replied to any messages or comments since I began law school. It has been a very busy last 2 years.
I wanted to revisit this forum because I really appreciated the community here at 7sage. It is crazy to realize th…
Thanks for all the comments and kind words, really bringing tears to my eyes!
If anyone has questions please DM me so it's a little easier for us to communicate!

This is really nice to hear! I'm currently stuck at a 150 and felt like I would never improve but your post gave me some motivation! So for the first half of your PT's did you take them untimed?
Hey, please message m…
How complete or incomplete are each of these courses? Since you are still adding videos to certain sections, I'm wondering if the videos that are currently available (purchased version) are sufficient to help a 1L with their 1L year.
Thanks 7sage!
Bryce, if you can get a 3.5 gpa in undergrad, I'm pretty confident that you can score a 160-165 with about 4 months of full time studying. You have a good gpa, don't waste that, and definitely don't give up on law school because of a low LSAT. It's …
If you have time after a LG section and you're missing a few on silly errors, then I'd advise you to take that extra time and eliminate more A/Cs - especially on the questions that were tough for you. I did this, and I started going -1 to -0 more of…
@TChalla thanks for your note, will do. wakanda forever.
@jsolomon759 the consensus seems to be reading for structure > reading for details. I think my issue is lack of practice and trying to learn everything the author is saying. Sometimes I f…
@Markmark I don't, sorry bud, i didn't use any tutors. I do know that @Sami has awesome study sessions that she offers. I haven't joined any yet, but I hope to before my exam in 2 months.
I think it's definitely possible. I would say 160-165 is possible even in just a month of you are 1) full time (20-30 hours of week of studying), and studying the right way. The bulk of those 4 months will likely be trying to escape the dreaded 165 …
I'm leaning towards delaying. I'd like to be at a 165 but I'm barely scraping 160, which means if I took the text next week I could get a 160, but I also could have a bad test and be in the 150's. For me, a late 160-165, is better than an on time 15…
I score from -1 to -4 depending if there's a MISC game or not.
But to address your question, I think it's really important to check all the A/C'cs, if it wouldn't eat up more than 30 seconds or so. Some A/C's can be knocked out super quick, and in …
Going from 155 untimed to 165 TIMED would be really hard. I don't think it's impossible, but it is unlikely. I'd argue that your untimed score would/should be in the 170s if you want a 165 timed score.
With 2 months until the Jan exam, my guesstima…
This is unfortunate. Those free youtube explanations were exactly what lead me to being an Ultimate + member on this life-changing website. Shame shame shame. Thanks for letting us know JY.
@chamayaharris @ebby_luna It definitely was not 2 years of straight studying.
I would say that my progress (138-160) is achievable in 4 maybe 5 months of 20-25 hours per week. I am a slow learner, so I definitely think 3 months is possible.
I've t…
The LSAT has 3 sections; LR, RC, and LG, but there is a 4th "section" to this exam and it's the toughest one - time.
I'm having trouble with timing myself, but a lot of people, and myself, would agree that timing can be defeated by mastery. Your BR…
Hi there!
First of all, your LG and RC scores are so good! Great job on that.
LR was one of my weaker sections, too, and considering you are at -9 to -13, I would say that you are missing the core foundation skills of LR.
I also had this problem!…
Many people on this forum, especially myself, will encourage you to study study study study until you are at, near, or even surpassed your goal score. The LSAT can open so many doors for you, and it's something that deserves your time and patience.
…
I'm at about your level in LR. I also can get 15-20 right on LR (Higher is probably due to lucky guesses), but I can get anywhere from 21 to 25 right on BR.
I've been advised to incorporate skipping strategies. If you read a stimulus that you don't…
If anyone is interested, I am beginning Pts 60 - 87. Love to BR and pick each other's brains. I am taking the Nov 2019 exam. I plan to take 2-3 Pts a week + BR (I am a full-time LSAT student)
Please reach out! It doesn't have to be FULL BRS, but I …
To echo @cooljon525 's comment, I would not ED to a school that you have a 85% shot of acceptance.
Generally, you ED when you 1) Need a boost (I'd say anything under 60%), and/or 2) you're OK with paying sticker. Because often times you forfeit you…
Honestly, I'm still doing old school paper and pencil, but I think it may be valuable to start switching to scratch paper + a pen, and using a device (considering this is what it is like on test day)
When i make the switch ill let you know how it g…
Missing -1 to -3 untimed is very good. This would suggest a pretty high BR score (For LR). With that said, I would definitely start to do things timed. You seem to have the LR skills down; you now must incorporate time, since the real thing is a tim…
Yes, there are many schools that are considered "splitter-friendly" which means that they accept students with very high LSATS (above their 75th percentile LSAT), and low GPAS (below their 25th percentile LSAT).
