Earlier this week I sent this email to Juliet (from student services). If you want to discuss further or are interested in seeing the texting thread (which I didn't add to this message) let me know.

Juliet,

I don't know his last name but his first is Di. His alias on 7Sage is "Heart Shaped Box". Regarding specifics, I reached out to him through the comment section in early January. We setup a payment schedule through Venmo $150 for 4 sessions. On about January 27 we had just completed the 1st of our second set of 4 sessions, so I had a balance and 3 more sessions remaining. As we all know the pandemic was in it's very early stages and my wife is an anesthesiologist in the Boston area. The significance of this is she got sick early Feb, and we have a 2 very small children. My focus shifted away from studying at the time as I needed to take care of our household, and as we all know all hell broke loose very shortly thereafter. I did not communicate with Di (since that last session in late January) until 2 days ago. Following is the text thread of my attempt to reach out to Di and ask for the remaining balance to be refunded. Nothing has been added or subtracted. I have not since contacted him nor has he contacted me.

As I hope you can see/tell, he is refusing to return any of my money because I "disappeared" etc. There was never any discussion of these stringent terms on top of the fact that the circumstances (a worldwide viral pandemic of which my wife works the front line) were far from the norm or what ANYONE could have predicted. If he simply decided to not be so immediately confrontational and talk to me we probably could have figured something out that worked for us both. He never attempted to seek out any understanding of my situation and predicament. Like I said a couple of times in the thread I was so disappointed. I thought we had at least a professional ability to communicate. We actually had a friendly rapport. I really did not expect that sense of hostility that he conveyed. I was totally taken aback and I think any other potential student should know what happened.

Again, I appreciate your help!

I know this isn't quite the right category, but there doesn't seem to be one for feature requests.

Per LSAC's announcement, the interface for the May LSAT-Flex will be very similar to the one used in the LawHub. 7Sage has some awesome features and things like a better font with more visible text and more effective highlighting than LawHub, but those would differ from the test-day experience.

Is it possible to add a "locked down" mode to 7Sage's interface that simulates LawHub and the test-day experience? That would include things like no dark theme, no full screen mode, LawHub's font and line height, no collapsing answers, full passage view mode, no line numbers, etc.

I'd just take full PTs in LawHub, but the section ordering is wrong and there's no easy way to track timing there. I'd imagine updating the 7Sage interface would mostly just require CSS changes and a toggle button so hopefully this wouldn't be much work.

Thanks!

Hey guys!

I was really upset yesterday because I could not understand the 9 valid and 7 invalid argument forms. For everyone else having trouble, taking a break and coming back to it the next day really helps! Sometimes you just need to give yourself a break. Anyways, I started to do practice problems with the chains. If I know how to work the chains do I need to memorize all of the forms?

Any help would be appreciated :)

After having gone through most of the 7sage curriculum, I was wondering about the general difficulty of the LSAT compared to 7Sage. In 7Sage, the question/pssg difficulty ranges from 1-5. In general, do the actual LSAT questions then tend to range around a median of 2.5/5 difficulty with some low, some high, and some in the middle? Or is the difficulty more variable from test to test. In other words, if you were to add up and average all of the difficulties of questions on any given LSAT, would they usually hover around 2.5 like a normal distribution?

Hey everyone, so ever since the quarantine my studying habits have fallen off quite a bit. I used to study for about 4 hours a day, but during the quarantine I have fallen off the wagon, sometimes not even studying at all some days. I can’t help but feel like I’ve forgotten everything I’ve learned so far in the CC, not to mention I had already used a different course prior to switching to 7sage and completed all of those lessons. Should I start completely over with the CC? I am nearly 100 hours in, but as mentioned previously, the last few things I’ve covered have been done inconsistently. Or should I just keep moving forward and trust that I remember everything that I’ve covered so far? I apologize in advance for such a dramatic post, I am just feeling like I’ve messed up big time for taking such a long break and am in desperate need of any advice on what to do moving forward.

Thank you all very much for any help.

Hello everyone,

Some 7sagers have requested we host another skipping strategy seminar because they either missed the first session or because they have follow up questions from the first

So, @"Cant Get Right" and I are going to host another session on Saturday, April 25th at 7:30pm EST

We are going to do a deeper dive this time

As these things work a lot better when we know what to go into detail about ahead of time, please post your questions on this thread so we can tailor accordingly

This would also help other potential attendees know what to expect

If you're seeing this for the first time and wondering what it is, you can find out more:

a) about skipping strategy and specifically about what worked for me here:

b) questions following the first webinar:

Hope to see you there again!

Just had an idea for the best group to do this contact tracing that is going to be needed for upcoming covid19 fight.... law students. You need lots of people who are bright, can handle lots of details and keep everything straight, are hardworking, and most of all understand, value, and respect confidentiality and privacy.. There are 100,000 law students and they could form teams where they are at, take a sabbatical from school, maybe make some money, and save civilization.

So the registration for the June LSAT closes tomorrow night and I was wondering if I could get some quick insight from this amazing community. I would feel comfortable taking the June Flex-LSAT as of right now but I would feel even better waiting for July. I understand that score cumulation is of no issue and I figured, might as well get one under my belt because I will be participating in either the June/August or the July/August dates, or maybe even all three if I'm feeling hardcore. The thing that worries me is the LSAT Flex, I've heard horror stories relating to the recently implemented tablet LSAT, so I think it might be wise to sit back and observe the experiences of students who will have taken the Flex this month before deciding which date to pursue. Who else in this bizarre situation?

Finally, I want to be able to participate in the Flex at least once and my friend who is a full time healthcare worker (Works E.R.) says there's very little possibility the test will be administered normally in July for my state.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I know in the core curriculum, it's pretty heavily emphasised that you should do the logical reasoning curricula before moving on, but I have my LR scores in an okay place, whereas my logic games is consistently the weakest part of my scores. So I think it makes the most sense for me to jump in with Logic Games to get myself to the same level as I perform with LR, but would this be a mistake? Will I spend a lot more time than necessary on LG material without the LR core?

For context, on the Feb. 1997 prep-test I scored 18/25 on both LR sections, and 8/24 on LG. So I can stand to review LR obviously, but I want to start with what I have to improve the most on.

Given that there will be different sign up times for the May Lsat-flex I'm assuming that means there will be diffrent versions for the exam so that nothing gets leaked? Depending on the time you sign up for will probably determine the version you get...with that being said I feel like it could be luck of the draw with games..

Update: All books have been claimed!

Hi 7sagers

I'm heading off to law school this fall! I wanted to thank the 7Sage community for being a part of my journey. Like most people, I discovered 7Sage through the (formerly) free LG videos. I found JY and this community extremely helpful and I hit my target score of 165. I took my very first LSAT in Nov 2018 with only using books and the free videos as prep and got a 161.

I could only afford a Starter course, but I felt that this community was extremely helpful and helped me make the most of the resources that I had. So I'd like to pay it forward by giving away my books to another 7Sager with a Starter account and/or LSAC need based fee waiver.

These are all the books I have:

Powerscore Bibles (LR, LG, RC)

Powerscore Training (LR, RC)

LSAC Superprep

LSAC Vol 4 (PT 52-61)

LSAC Vol 5 x2 (PT 62-71; I have 2 because a friend gave me one after she changed her mind about law school)

LSAC Vol 6 (PT 72-81)

Please message me if interested.

Thanks!

Practice Tests

*****I started studying intensely a month ago and I am taking the August 29, 2020 exam. How frequently should I be taking a full/time practice exam?

    I started doing PTs a week ago and plan to take 4 a week (from 36 to 89) while doing some additional drilling the days I don't do PTs. This would be quite tight to make it before the July date (13th) and with COVID I do not know what the status of that is. Do people think it will be a FLEX or a regular LSAT by then?

    Additionally, the August date (29th) is quite far out and I would run out of PTs too soon before the exam. I am at a decent score but think that I could get better. I also saw there is no september date so if I have to cancel for some reason I won't have scores to start applications early.

    Would you recommend taking the July and trying to cram as many PTs as I can? (won't have any clean tests if I do end up cancelling this score)? Or slowing down to make it until August?

    UPGRADE

    Hi everyone! I did my free trial and I really liked it. Considering purchasing monthly ultimate+ and I am not sure what is this bundle plus? Can anyone advise if I need to check that box or not? Do I need to buy it in order to get the materials from ultimate+? Thank you in advance.

    I finished the CC and I have been getting lower PTs than before I even started LGs. I was getting -3s on the LR sections of the PTs but now that I have finished CC, I've been getting -12 on LR sections! It's like I forgot everything I learned..taking June test so I don't have too much time. Any advice on how to get my LR score back up?

    Just finished the starter pack. Diagnostic 157, first few PTs after the CC I was scoring in the high 160s but the last 5 have gotten progressively worse scoring 160 on the last one and I feel so disappointed in myself. BR is also all over the place ranging from 166-175.

    During quarantine I was studying ~45-60 hours a week but a few weeks ago I went back to working full time (50 hours a week) so I've been trying to study all day Saturday and Sunday, wake up at 4am to study before work, and study for an hour or so after work and I'm just getting worse.

    Between PTs I keep a journal of every question I got wrong and what I was thinking when I came to the wrong answer, rewatch CC for priority areas, and make problem sets of questions in priority areas I've gotten wrong in the past.

    None of this seems to be helping though. My best area is LG but I always tend to get 1-2 wrong from making stupid mistakes (although this last PT was such a stupid mistake I got almost every question wrong on one game). The issue for RC seems to be timing; it just takes way too long to thoroughly go through a passage while keeping different concepts (especially science) in mind. And for LR I'm constantly falling for trap answer choices.

    I'm so desperate to know what I should be doing differently and for any advice. To anyone who took the time to read this, thank you so much!

    Hello all, my 7sage account is about to expire and moving forward, I want to make sure that if I don't renew my account, I'll still have access to the things I need. And basically, all I need from 7sage at this point in studying is under the discussion forum and and the resources tab. I have a bunch of practice tests, so that's not what I'm looking for from 7sage ~ all I need is the videos that are posted for each and every question to each and every preptest. Does anyone know if this is a free part of 7sage? Or is it under the paid curriculum? Thank you!
