So Jerrald you and I are probably closer to doing the same lessons on 7sage. Amir you are way ahead. I know from previous studies and what J.Y. often emphasizes during various lessons is the importance of teaching or verbalizing different concepts to reinforce the learning that we have had. Is there a way that we can do that with each other? Or is it best to wait until we have started doing the Prep Tests? This test is so important. I just want us to maximize whatever sources we have to do exceptionally well. In October.
Hi everyone, I am taking the test in Oct as well. I've been reading through books and textbooks for the past month, but only just started my lessons on 7sage.
If anyone is interested, some books I would recommend are
A Rulebook for Arguments by Anthony Weston, and
Logic Made Easy by Deborah J. Bennett.
The Informal Logic by Douglas Walton (mentioned earlier) is also a great book. The concepts and terminologies in these books do appear in the LSATs, and they guide you through the concepts pretty smoothly so it wasn't difficult to understand at all.
Here is a few my reading recommendation, i find my logic improved a lot after reading Kant and a few other German philosophers, you should try some english books, i am currently reading Middlemarch, excellent read. Also i would suggest reading new york times book review section, i find it very similar to RC. I hope this helps.
I purchased a 180watch... I will post my 'review' once it arrives. I have a Seiko that I use, but I figured if the 180watch does work, then it would be worth the $50, and I can sell it to a friend for 30ish after my LSAT.
I haven't taken any PTs since the diagnostic because I'm still doing lessons, so technically I can't say how much I have improved. However, I do feel like I have improved with all that I'm learning through 7sage.
When I took the diagnostic I also did it without any prior LSAT knowledge. I wouldn't feel comfortable sharing that particular score with you as I would first like to show that I have drastically improved via 7sage :) In that way, it will serve somewhat as a positive reinforcement :)
I haven't taken any PTs yet. When I do and if I am not completely embarrassed I will share my scores with you too. Your persistence has inspired me. I am even more motivated. Thanks so much for sharing.
I am also taking the LSAT this October. I started self-studying in March, and I've been part of the 7sage family for around 1 month (currently 50% into the material). I'm using other material in addition to the 7sage, however, this is the only course that I will be taking.

@shaughnessykerri652, study in the morning before you go to work, not at night after you come back.

guys PT is the key!
Make sure to do them AND review as many of them as possible!!

Me too! I've been researching different online lsat options and I think this one is the one for me.
Do you think is possible to start now at the end of june and be able for taking the LSAT in October?

I'm also taking the October test. Self-studying didn't work, kept scoring around 155 and never improved. Found 7Sage in early June.

I think you can find it for less than $50. I was going to buy this one which is $25 but has mixed reviews:

Has anyone here bought/used the 180watch? I'm wondering if it's worth getting...

I began in February but have been working on the 7Sage course since April. I'm a bit over 50% of the course.
I have been studying since February. Self studied at first but registered with 7Sage a little over a month ago.
So glad to see your responses! I am still in the beginning stages of doing the 7Sage lessons. How far along are you?
I've been studying since December. I was going to do June, but I am not ready. Hopefully, I'll be ready for the October LSAT.
Same! Using RC sections from PTs A-C this week for drilling. Hopefully I can move on to timing full RC sections by this weekend...
Hi Everyone. Count me in.
Hi DD. I'm strudying for the October LSAT.
Guys if you're taking October LSAT you should have registered by now, but if you have not (like me) because you're too busy studying:
you have from now to Sept 13 but from today onwards there's a late fee...
I think the late fee is $66.
