How do you want to customize the study scheduler?

I've heard from roughly everybody who has ever used the study scheduler that they want more customization—but how, and why? Start with the problem you are trying to solve—e.g., "I get behind schedule," or "I don't want to do the PT that the study scheduler picked for me because…" If possible, explain why the current functionality (e.g. changing your plan type or end date in study plan settings) doesn't cut it. Then suggest a solution.

Help us make it better for you!

Anywhere you see a tag on the website, hover over it for more information! Handy dandy!

Also, we've added a ton of tags for common flaws like ad hominem arguments and false dichotomies! Dandy handy!

Shoot us any ideas you have for what information you'd like to see in these tooltips. I PROMISE THE DEVS WILL IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENT EVERY SINGLE SUGGESTION.

(Definitions are only available for LR tags currently, but RC definitions are coming soon :P)

I am reading the Economist to study for law school, as someone here or on reddit had mentioned it as a good way to learn how to write in law school. I am wondering if it is also good for reading comprehension. If so, does anyone have any tips for how to study using The Economist?

For example, I am currently thinking of reading an article, then summarizing the main points of the article and the conclusion, and as an extra step, try to state my own opinion on the article. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. TIA

Recently I've noticed that the custom timing feature on LR and RC drills has been a little finicky. For example, if I want to create a drill and set the timer for say, 15:00 minutes, the page will start glitching once I begin entering my desired drill time into the text box. I never had issues with this before, but now, it feels like I have to fight my computer every time I want to create a custom time'd drill. Has anyone else had issues with this?

I wanted to ask the community and also maybe have 7Sage team chime in as I have been drilling with folks using the new "adaptive" feature that replaced the random question type setting. How has it been working for y'all? 🥹

I've been drilling in a group setting but for this past whole week I've been getting only conditional reasoning tag! I thought it was maybe just coincidence, but when others in my group streamed their drills, they got say, only flaws or evaluate. I'm guessing its based off our weaknesses but conditionals have actually been my strongest for the past few months...so even if I wanted to go with adaptive mode, I'm not sure how to impact the questions they throw at me...

Is there a way to change this to be truly random like it originally was?

Maybe I'm missing something... 🥲

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

My law hub advantage expires April 1st and I will be renewing it at a later time in April. My 7sage subscription cycle is also on April 1st but I don't want to pay before renewing my lawhub because I know I cannot utilize 7sage without lawhub. If I pause my subscription March 31 and then unpause it when i resubscribe to lawhub will anything go wrong with my account? What happens when my account is paused? Thanks in advance!

Hey all!! I just recently started really locking in on the LSAT (for 2-3 weeks now). I am planning on taking it in August but hoping to maybe also take it in June (haven't decided yet). I feel so stressed because I feel like I was really understanding the content more, but I don't feel I have seen any improvement. Anyone else feel this way? I was curious if maybe my studying could be improved as I am also worried about burnout. I am trying to do a test/week by doing 3 sections spread out throughout the week, with a day after the section to review mistakes, learn from them, and then drill ( a method I learned from a 180 scorer youtuber). In addition to this, I am following my "balanced" 7Sage study plan and doing the lessons each day, along with 2-4 drill sets of 5. I study for about 4 hours daily, usually. I am really hoping to get to a 175+- anyone have any critiques or suggestions? Also, is my panic and anxiety based in reality or my OCD?????

Does anyone have Bailey's PDF she drops from her Spot the Gap lessons? It looks super dope but I have unfortunately missed it the last couple times and have been dying to get a hold of it for review. So if anyone has it and could email it to me or drop a link in chat, it would be greatly appreciated:)

Hey everyone! I have small ears and was wondering if anyone had a really good recommendation for foam earplugs. The last time I took the exam in the testing center, they gave me these over-ear headphones, but they weren`t enough, particularly when the proctor came to help a student next to me. The closer to noise-cancelling, the better. Thanks!

Hey all,

Very specific question here. Basically, I’m going to be part of a local research team for a study being done by a large national non profit. I’m just wondering how I would put that in my resume.

To give more detail, I wouldn’t be listed among the primary authors, but my name would be in the appendix listed under my team. I suppose I’m curious how one cites that in a resume, or if I even should.

Thanks!

Hey y'all, I am scheduled to take the LSAT next month, and I am not feeling great about my scores. I know we won't get our scores back until after the June deadline, so I am trying to figure out if I should just go ahead and register for it. I have the fee waiver, so I only get the 2 free exams, so I just want to make sure I am using my time wisely.

Does anyone have any suggestions or the same concerns? LMK!!

Hey all! Quick question. Just got through Foundations, about to start up LR in the Lesson Library. I noticed "Fast Track" at the end; has anyone gone through all LR lessons, got to fast track and finished it, and felt like you could've sufficed with just doing the fast track lessons? Or it's better to go through every lesson and THEN do every fast track lesson? I am aiming for that second option to get in as much knowledge as possible, but I was just wondering what it looked like from a different perspective of a fellow student. Lmk what you guys have done/plan on doing/recommend, thanks :)

Is it possible to run out of questions? I know I can always go through them again, but I still have 7-8 months of studying. As of now I have gone through 1800 questions.

Will I run out to PT's and sections to drill?

PrepTests

Hey guys! I'm just beginning my LSAT prep, and was just wondering if people have advice on how I can structure my learning. Should I be doing preptests now or just drills?

I know law school acceptance predictors cannot be taken too seriously but for the sake of seeing ballpark chances I’ve been looking into them. The main ones I know of are LSD and 7sage’s own predictor. But when I put in my stats into both platforms I get wildly different chances (7sage has my chances MUCH higher than LSD does). What would be the more accurate platform? Does anyone know of another, better platform?

I am planning on applying straight from undergrad this fall. For people who went straight from undergrad to law school, what did you focus on most in your application besides GPA and LSAT? My GPA isn’t the strongest partly because my school has pretty tough grading and not much grade inflation. I also haven’t had any legal jobs, but I do have a lot of other professional experience. Do things like internships, leadership, or other work experience make a difference? I am conflicted because when I look for support a lot of people say its difficult which IK but is it impossible?

Not Improving

I have been studying for several months and am stuck in the 150-153 range when taking PT's. Does anyone have recommendations for study strategies? I am specifically struggling with Conditional Reasoning, Link Assumption, and Flaw/Descriptive Weakening areas. However, my current strategy does not seem to be helping enough.
