As someone who just scored a 175 on the January 2022 LSAT, I second the 7Sage recommendation. It is an absolute life saver and all I ever needed. It's important to note that not every idea and method was useful to me though. Everyone has a different way of thinking and learning. At the end of the day, you are trying to get the best score possible and you are the only one who is taking the test. If a concept doesn't feel efficient or comfortable, just drop it and come up with your own way that works best for you. I think a big reason why people struggle is that they are trying to take the test how someone else would take it, rather than how they would. My study process involved a lot of soul searching to find out what kind of person I am and how this person would score well on the LSAT. I didn't ever need to write out lawgic or low resolution summaries, but the curriculum ultimately helped me with understanding the fundamentals of the test. If I didn't first have that background information, I never would have scored above my 151 diagnostic.

How much study time did you put in to hit that 175?
@gutar567510 ай бұрын
@@Zeroctb I got through the 7Sage curriculum in a little under 2 months, then took the November test after only 1 or 2 PTs. I scored a 167 timed and 179 Blind Review on my first practice test, but underperformed in November and got a 160. I realized that my problem was timing because I would consistently score 175+ on all of my BRs, but my timed tests were very inconsistent. After November didn't go well, the next test I could do was in January. I spent those two months drilling PTs until my timed score matched my BR score. That being said, I favored quality over quantity. Some people think they need to do every PT in existence, but I only did about 10.

As someone with ADHD, I had a really hard time with 7sage because explaining the points turned out to 5 into 10 minute rambles for one question. Thats a lot when you only have a certain amount of time to answer the question. I kept trying to figure out when there was a point in a 20 minute video going over 4 questions and it felt like studying took forever and made me more fatigued. I like a lot of the newer stuff they're doing but wont revisit. I do appreciate that they did break down the fundamentals well.

This includes doing each logic game about (70 of them) 5-10 times to fool proof it. I am going to finally start practice tests in the next couple of weeks.

Anyways, my question is how many PTs did you take and also did you retake some PTs a second time? Do you think it's really necessary to go through every single PT ever released by LSAC?
@BanterwithBabs4 жыл бұрын
Hi Melody! I've taken every single test after PT 55 under real timed conditions. I have also used PTs before 55 for some light drilling too. Before you freak out, don't worry-I don't think my study habits are reflective of the norm per se. You don't have to take the same, full PT twice under real-timed conditions. However, it is SUPER useful to go back and recycle specific sections from PTs you've taken for drilling material. In light of that practice of recycling old sections for drilling, I can say that I've probably reviewed each question published after PT 55 twice. If you're running short on time, I recommend you at least try to take 10 full PTs before your official LSAT. Also, take the newer ones in the 70s and 80s (they are far more reflective on what you will see on test day). Hope this helps! Babs

@BanterwithBabs7 ай бұрын
Hello! Sorry to hear that your first LSAT score wasn't what you had hoped for. I recommend taking a nice two week break to just completely reset; You tried your best last round and deserve a mental break before you go back into your LSAT studies full throttle with fresh eyes. When you do jump back into your LSAT studies, I recommend trying out a new study routine/schedule. Trying something new will keep things fun and fresh, and give you the opportunity to review your past studies from a new perspective. Finally, remember that the LSAT takes time to conquer for everyone (even for those of us who eventually scored in the 99% percentile). I know it can feel very discouraging to see a score that you know doesn't accurately reflect the amount of effort you know you put into the LSAT -- the LSAT is mentally brutal like that. What matters is that you find the strength to get back up and try again. Best of luck on your LSAT studies, I am rooting for you!

Having been on the butt end of attorneys, I know that lying is something they do better than anyone, lol. No further response came. So I read between the lines, & got my answer! She quit her job & left the practice, as so many lawyers do today. And I think she said her score was 176, a little higher than the 99th percentile. And she quit! Lucrative too, must've been pretty awful. But I knew a fine jazz pianist out of UC Berkeley who took the LSAT, scored in the 95th, & only ended up at Golden Gate Univ in SF! (He's been practicing law for years in SF, lost touch with him long ago! I guess he's out of music altogether, which is too bad.) I guess u just never know. I enjoyed ur little tour from the perspective of someone on the inside looking out. For the other 99% it's the other way around. U're in the luckiest !%.

I definitely relate to that feeling -- the LSAT has a funny way of pushing you to your mental limit and making you feel like you're never going to break through to your goal score. My advice is to acknowledge that these feelings are 100% normal, and remember that breakthroughs happen when you least expect it. Keep at it, you got this!

I love how you stated your SCORE. NICE VIDEO AND THANK you so much. It is always best to state it so that people can follow you. Do you think power score is a great book? how many months of study did it take you to score 175? God bless you

Happy to help, Stella! Transparency is everything. I have heard good things about Powerscore-it just wasn't a perfect fit for me because I like having some lessons in a video format (as opposed to a book format). I studied for one full year. Here's a link to my video, HOW TO STUDY (Effectively) FOR THE LSAT | How I Scored a 175.

Thank you for sharing your valuable resources with us… they are extremely helpful and life saving for me😂 Thank you sooo much!! Apart from those three resources, would you recommend any other LSAT textbooks that you used? (Or just 7sage is equivalent to those textbooks?)

Thanks for the video Babs! I started with LSAT trainer and am currently in Lesson 8, would you suggest that I combine my LSAT trainer prep with 7Sage at some point? I too get bogged down with details and thought that maybe gaining a sold foundation through trainer would be a better option for me.
@BanterwithBabs3 жыл бұрын
Hi Sal! First of all, great choice by starting off with the LSAT Trainer! Have you started drilling yet? If so, how is your logic game performance? If you're really struggling with logic games, 7Sage is the way to go. If you're doing alright, getting 7Sage might not be totally necessary. Ultimately, it really depends on how "perfect" you want to get your logic game score. If you're striving for 170+, you can start 7Sage anytime! :) Hope this helps, Babs

Thank you so much! This video was so informational. I am a freshman and I'm skeptical on how long I should study before taking the LSAT. When did you take the LSAT and how long did you study for it?
@BanterwithBabs4 жыл бұрын
Hello Jocelyn! The amount of time it takes to study for the LSAT varies per person. If your goal is to score above a 170, the timeline varies from 6 months to over a year! There are some outliers that have scored above 170 by studying for 3 months, but this is rare and I would not recommend designing your study schedule around this expectation. I studied for one full year and scored my 175 on the July 2019 exam! Hope this helps, Babs

Hi Babs! Thank you for this insightful video! It is currently January and I am scheduled for the LSAT In June. In the video you said you went from 7sage to lsat trainer to khan academy. Is that the order you recommend? This has been by far one of the best videos I have seen so far :) Hope your law journey is going well.
@BanterwithBabs3 жыл бұрын
Hi Nina! Thank you for your kind feedback. I actually recommend the following order: Read the LSAT Trainer and supplement it with drills from Khan Academy. Resort to 7Sage only if you feel like you need a more-in depth approach. Good luck on the June LSAT! Babs

Hi Kaylhan! If you want to attend law school directly after your undergraduate studies, then it couldn't hurt to start studying now! If you are planning to take a gap year or two after graduating, then I wouldn't start sweating about preparing now. Most people don't study for the LSAT for more than a year. Babs

Here’s an easy way to start. Freshman year work on reading comprehension only. You can master reading comprehension in one year. Every major standardized test has reading comprehension. Therefore it is the easiest section to begin your preparation. One of my students that I helped get into HLS was a master of RC. This successful young lady in the video gave you the answer at the very beginning. Start early, be thorough and don’t faint in the face of adversity. I guarantee you that you will face great adversity during your preparation. Please realize that no matter how well you have prepared, at some point during the exam you’re going to feel that you’ve blown it. Don’t panic in your mind during the exam. You have the first key to success already- DESIRE!
