Is there a great disadvantage to taking the November test? Probably the soonest I could be ready. Obviously not early.

Not through cc yet.

Goal score 160

Diagnostic 150

Cannot do October.

Strong GPA

I am a non traditional, (very much older student), applying only to 2 hybrid programs.

Both have said this date is OK, but I'd like to hear from this community.

Many thanks.

I started my first attempt to do the Blind Review after trying out many other study methods.

I’m hoping to do the Blind Review in the most effective way or do it appropriately at least.

I would like to ask for advice from those of you who improved score from Blind Reviewing.

Could you share in detail what you did when you do the blind review?

-What do you write out on your note? Other than Question type, your thought on stimulus and each answer choice?

-After making a comparison between your note and J.Y’s explanation videos, how do you revise your note to prevent you from choosing the same wrong answer or from approaching the question in old ways?

How long should I take to do the blind review?

How do you keep up with improving your weaknesses in certain sections while improving the ability to finish the test within a limited amount of time?

-I’m concerned about not doing the timed full test while I try to invest my time in Blind reviewing and Core Curriculum. At the same time, I do not want to waste my time doing PTs by repeatedly making wrong answer choices.

After BR one PT, do you retake the same PT and then try new PT? Should BR method for LR and RC similar to the Fool Proof method for LG?

I would really appreciate your advice.

Hi,

Anyone have recommendations for tutors that specialize in working with students w ADHD?

We had another discussion post in which 7Sagers said that we are not supposed to do all problem sets within a section in order but rather jump back and forth as we progress through the CC. I am confused because JY did not create an instruction on how to go through the CC. What I have been doing was just go through the CC in order, and I am almost done with the LR part and am about to move on to the LG part. My original plan was to do the entire CC in order and then do the PTs. I was advised to take the timed test, blind review, watch explanation videos, write up wrong question notes, and drill. I was also told to listen to the podcasts. Can anyone tell me if this plan is incorrect? What should I do?

PS: I read older posts about this question, and people are giving different answers. People replied in the older posts to do them in order, or "sequentially."

I'm talking about physical copies

About how long, on average, should someone study for the LSAT before taking the real test? Or, does it depend on how ready I feel via target scores on the practice tests?

Hi, I'm studying the lsat in South Korea and was wondering if there was a tutor I can study with.

Its saying I cannot extend it what do I do?

Hi! I really need help improving on LR, I cannot get below -8, which I get consistently. My test is in August. Please message me!

Hi

I am still on LR on the CC, but I am having a difficult time with four-star and five-star questions on the problem sets on the CC. I usually get three to four questions wrong per the four-star and five-star difficulty level problem set. I was just wondering how many of these four-star and five-star questions are on the actual LR section of the PT. Also, is it normal to get three to four questions of four-star and five-star questions wrong on the problem set during the LR section of the CC?

My golf coach always advised me not to see the game of golf as a war but rather a game. However, that is golf. Is it appropriate to conceive this LSAT journey as an act of going on an all-out war against the LSAT? How do you see yourself against this test, whether we want to call it a behemoth, beast, monster, etc. I am sure this test isn't just a piece of cake despite the fact that it is still just a bunch of papers stapled together.

Hi, does anyone know the rules on using scratch paper for the LSAT? Is there a limit? Can we only use it for some sections and not others? Thanks.

Hey 7 Sage Community!

The course has been very helpful and I started from a 143, on my first diagnostic to the early 160s (180-163) range. I'm starting to hit a slump where I don't really know how to progress as of a week ago. Does anyone have any overarching strategies they've used to break through their slump periods? I'm hoping to get out of this slump, even if it's by one point. Testing Date: August 2021.

Thanks!

here's a poem that i've found to be relatable to the pattern of studying for the LSAT, answer choices, strategies, etc. It's okay to miss questions--don't be so harsh on yourself, go for the balance: understand the mistake you made or what in the question tripped you up, and see it as a learning opportunity--you'll never make that mistake again!

"Balance is everything, is the only

way to hold on.

I've weighed the alternatives, the hold

as harbor: It isn't safe

to let go. But consider the hover,

choices made, the moment

between later and too late.

Hesitation is later, regret

too late. You can't keep turning

and turning, or expecting

to return. This earth

is not a wheel, it is a rock

that erodes, mountain by mountain.

And I have been too soft,

like sandstone, but there is a point

where I stand without a story,

immutable and moved, solid

as a breath in winter air.

I have seen my death and I know

it is my neighbor, my brother,

my keeper. In my life

I am going to keep trying

for the balance,

remembering the risks and the value

of extremes, and that experience

teaches the length of allowable lean;

that it is easier — and wiser —

to balance a stone as if on one toe

though it weigh a hundred pounds

than to push it back against the curve

of its own world."

Hey guys - wanted to ask a quick question for those that struggle with anxiety on tests and anxiety in general.

Thanks so much.

I took a test on Lawhub, is there a way to transfer it to 7sage?

Would you minor in Japanese and aim to become a trilingual and guarantee all As from each class? Or just take some extra social science classes to broaden your perspective in law (or polish up my writing skill as I am not really a native English speaker)

I am a South Korean born international student, but Japanese to me is like guaranteed As. All 5 unit classes. No sweat.

My Major is Cognitive Science!

Hi! My timing got messed up (my fault) on a practice test, and I knew I did really bad on it so I just skipped two sections. Is there a way I can delete this from my analytics / stats like you can for problem sets?

Hi all!,

I just started the 7sage course after doing 3 months of book study/lsat demon live courses. I feel like with the demon I never really got the fundamentals and ended up being 6 points off my goal score for the June LSAT and will be taking the August LSAT (and October if needed). I was wondering what strategy I should take? I am currently bouncing between LR-LG-RC day by day. So I started the LR section of the course, now I am on the introduction of Logic Games for example. With so little time to August is this a good strategy? Note I work full time and do about 2-3 hours a day.

I am really loving the course and completely regret not doing this, I feel like I didn't really learn anything with the Demon.

Thanks all!

Hi, I just wrapped up blind review for a section and the only question that I got wrong and then BR correctly has a (?) next to its pin. What does this mean? I haven't spotted this in any of my other problem sets.

I am following the schedule of the for the October 2021 test. While reviewing the weekly curriculum I noticed that after week 5, I start taking 5-6 LSAT's a week up until test day. Is this recommended? I feel like it takes me at least two days to take a test, blind review, and watch/review explanations to any missed questions. Not sure I would have enough time to do that many in one week. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to write this because I felt it important to demonstrate that with hard work and dedication, this test IS learnable. I still have a long way to go but don't give up, I have seen a few posts in the last couple of days about a member not feeling like they have seen any improvement, or just struggling with the test, I am here to say that is possible with hard work. I am an older student (mid 30s) with a family, work, school full time and it CAN be done. Do not give up, if you are struggling rewatch the CC or hire a tutor if needed. I started to actively study end of May, my score was a whopping 146, my test today after a month and a week, 161. I was so defeated and still am at times but I have seen a huge improvement in the month that I've been studying. I have attached screenshots of the first test and one that I just finished now.

I want to thank this community, although I am not one to post, I am always reading and appreciative of the support and advice shared.

Goodluck to everyone taking their tests soon and a big congratulations to those who already took it.

-Cynthia
