Any general tips? I keep doing this to myself and then by the time I realize it, I am already burnt out.

How in the heck do I balance not over-doing it but also make sure I get through PT's and material before the July test. I am already done CC. Just going over it occasionally for my weak areas after PT'ing.

I am so stressed out that I keep burning out from over studying and become unable to do anything at all. Then, I take a one week break to recover and repeat my bad habits of over-studying and so on

Hi Everyone,

Now that the June LSAT Flex has been announced, how are you planning on taking your PTs to adjust to the new 3 section versus 5 section? Are you still practicing with 4/5 sections?

Thanks!

Are you struggling with improving your score on the Reading Comprehension section of the LSAT? You're not the only one. Of the three, RC by far is the most difficult section to gain meaningful improvements on. Even worse is the fact that there is a lot of conflicting advice out there on how best to attack the RC section, some of which may actually harm your performance rather then help. I managed to improve my reading comp score on average a full 8 points from my base and I want to share some of the things that I learned along that journey with YOU, my fellow 7 sagers. Join me on Friday as we tackle PT 79, specifically the Eileen Gray and Woodland Clearing passage. I will breakdown the passage and apply my personal methodology for tackling RC passages. Whether you're an LSAT Vet who is just looking to polish off the last few details for the May LSAT or you're just getting started I'm sure you will find something of value in this session.

Hello,

I am a sophomore in college who is new to the LSAT preparation scene. If I am correct, there are only 80 practice exams released that I could use to prepare for the LSAT. I have been kind of hesitant to start taking tests because I want to make sure that I am maximizing my score from one test to the next. Can anyone give me any advice?

I have been studying with 7Sage for 6 months, with the first 3 months only spending about 1-2 hours per day. Recently with quarantine freeing up some time I have really ramped up my studying, and will complete the Core Curriculum in the next 2 weeks. I have signed up for the June test, but it has recently been announced that it will be a Flex test. With this test not being in person, I am now conflicted as to whether I should just take the June test and hope that August is in person for a second test, or push the test back to July and hope that one is in person. Obviously, pushing the test back would give me more time to study, but it is also unclear if any tests in the next few months (or even the rest offered this year) will be in person.

I would love to know what you all think about the Flex test, and how you are making your decisions as to whether to go ahead and take the Flex test or push your testing date back.

How does LSAC normally handle appeals for registering after the deadline? I failed to realize the June 2020 registration deadline was April 24th (largely due to finals for school, but that doesn't excuse it. Are they normally forgiving?

This may be a silly question but when I star a specific question from a prep test or star a page from a lesson, do they all go to one place on my account? how do I go back and find everything I've starred?

Hi!

I'm having a hard time distinguishing when it would be most helpful (and efficient) to use charts in grouping games. On the June 2007 practice test, I used a chart for game 4 - the recycling centre question and it worked for me but JD doesn't use it in his explanation video. I guess it did take me a bit longer using the chart, but I can't quite figure out the precise characteristics of a grouping game where charts would be most beneficial.

Help!

I'm new to studying for the LSAT. I have been working through 7Sage's CC and am on the LR section of Causation. I study full-time but have been shocked by how long it takes me to go through the videos, work on a problem, and BR it...

Based on 7Sage's custom schedule, I've been very behind despite studying as much as I can each day...

I have to work on accuracy as well as comprehension speed. Despite being a good student, I need to refrain from reading the stimulus 3 times to understand it... I have had a goal of taking the LSAT the first week of October to apply to my dream school early decision (I've asked and the school said they do not know if they will extend the ED deadline due to COVID19 so I doubt they will).

Is this realistic?

Edit: My goal is acceptance at T14 school that guarantees a scholarship for ED. I believe the Oct 1st LSAT is the latest exam they will accept for the ED deadline on Dec 1st.

Hello!

I am new to 7Sage. I am a sophomore, and I am looking to get a score of 175-180. Any suggestions in terms of studying?

Hi all,

I am 22 and planning to take the LSAT in a couple of years. I was wondering: If you had the opportunity to go back to age 22, and knowing that you would be taking the lsat later, what are some useful habits you would have cultivated to give you an edge at the lsat? would you have read more, read more difficult stuff, practiced grammar in some way,...

Many thanks!

Is anyone else having issues registering on Proctor U? The site keeps saying 405 not allowed.

Hi all,

I plan on taking the LSAT in November and since I just started and I'm on a time crunch I was wondering if any of you have suggestions on how to study? I'm also a student so I'll be taking classes in the summer and full-time in the fall. Would it be a bad idea to go through the curriculum to understand the concepts and only do a few practice sets (not all since it is a lot and takes up a good chunk of hours) and then get done by mid-july and just keep on doing practice tests until November?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any thoughts on how the LSAT will be able to avoid questions being leaked with so many times being offered on ProctorU

Hello 7sagers,

kinda bummed because a couple weeks ago after hitting my highest blind review score (163) my most recent BR score has plummeted to a 157. Looking at the blind review stats there were a handful of questions in the LR section that I changed from correct to incorrect. Any advice on how to correct that going forward, taking the LSAT-Flex in 3 weeks so any advice is welcome.

I am registered for the July 2020 LSAT, I have been scoring low 160s and I want to improve my score into the low 170s. What are the most useful 7sage courses you have used so far and that I recommend doing. The course planner is saying I need to spend 90+ hrs a week to complete all the material, but I don't think all the material is 100% required right?

Please let me know what you all think, I'm an LSAT newbie.

Does anyone know if we still have normal tools for lsat flex? Or if the highlighter listed on the materials list replaces the virtual highlighter we would usually get

I've taken full advantage of remote-working over the past few weeks to focus primarily on the LSAT. I've seen meaningful progress and a slight bump in my PTs because of the quality and quantity of time I've committed to studying. Now that quarantine appears to be loosening its grip for those in different work situations, I can't help but think of how much time I WON'T be able to dedicate towards studying.

Are there other Active E's or O's also studying for the LSAT?

How are others with demanding job hours - anything outside 9-6 - looking to prioritize studying? What did you all do prior to the pandemic?

what's the password for printing out practice quizes/tests?

Hello,

I just have recently started studying for the LSAT and I am about 60 hours into the Core Curriculum after about 2 weeks. I am going through massive up's and downs when it comes to LR as it is very new for me. I am just beginning to introduce myself to Must Be True questions and I did a problem set with a high difficulty but got 0 correct even after BR (fucking abhorrent, I know) which is really discouraging. I was just wondering how long it took some of you guys to see significant improvement in LR?

I am determined to get a good LSAT score and keep going. My GPA is nothing to worry about but I really want a good LSAT score as well. I guess this post is me wanting to know if there is light at the end of this tunnel.

Thank you!

I remember the first time I read through this article I couldn't stop thinking about it. Started reading through it almost every night at some point. I got in the habit of writing down “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast”, in my notes over and over. Definitely recommend checking out this guys journey, thoughts?

Also, I found the Logic Games portion he covered the most interesting. Just imagine the advantage you'd have on the lsat flex if you could consistently ace every logic games section during a point in your prep and then be able test in the comfort of your own home.

Hey everyone, so I'm working my way through the course so far, and I was just wondering if its recommended to do the problems before JY goes through his approach and ultimately answers the question? Or should I just sit back and look at how he approaches and handles the questions?

The sound of JY's videos keep going away for a few seconds. Wondering if it is just my computer or if anyone else is experiencing the issue

Hi all,

I need some help on my study schedule. I've taken 4 PT's so far and despite foolproofing all LG problem sets and drills in the CC, I've only been able to score - 6 on my last PT (my best LG score). I have recently started to drill the clean games from PT 1 - 16, and I have yet to reach a level of consistency, meaning I typically score in the - 0 to - 2 band within the allocated time, but for example I got a - 4 today on a fresh game which was quite disheartening.

I still have some work to do in LR and a lot more in RC. I don't feel that focusing exclusively on LG for more than a few days is necessary, as I feel like I can improve by foolproofing throughout the week along with LR/RC specific work. But I'm not sure if this will be beneficial to do as I see many people on the threads focusing exclusively on LG for a much longer period of time. Additionally I feel like I really need to be taking more PT's at this point.

Also I'm planning on taking the June LSAT, but I have a little more time since I will be taking it in Europe on 25th of June, if the current situation allows.

So in short, do you guys recommend that I focus on LG first before serious PT'ing or is it ok to instead focus on my weaknesses in other sections as well along with regular PT'ing?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi everyone!

I am gearing up to take the May LSAT Flex and want to get as many games/general practice in as I can, especially from more recent tests. I don't have access to PrepTests beyond 72 on 7sage, but do have access to the full Preptest 73 through LSAC. I will take this one as a timed practice test. I also purchased the print version of Preptests 72-81. Since the test is three weeks away, I won't have time to do all these practice tests as full timed exams, and would like to use at least three or four of them as section practice with material I haven't seen before. With all that context established:

What are some of the hardest games (and LR sections, if any come to mind) in these tests (74-81) that you have encountered? I'd love to focus my time on these as the date comes up. It's really helpful to see new games variations/different language. Also, if anyone has last-minute tips/de-stressors to help with performance anxiety, I would love to hear them. Thank you!
