Am I unable to blind review a section of a PT until I have completed all four sections? If not, could somebody explain how to do it? Thanks.

Ok i have been doing a different PT everyday, and it seems the pts in the 80s are significantly harder for me in terms of reading comp. LR and Games i find them the same. Is this normal? In the 60s i am averaging 2-3 wrong a section, in the 80s 5-7 wrong :/ is there anything specifically different about these passages that I am missing? #help

Hello,

I am planning on taking the August 2020 exam. It has not been announced yet if it will be flex. Any advice on whether to use shortened versions of PTs (3 section tests) when taking practice exams to prepare for the August 2020 exam in case it is flex? Or is that something we should prepare for if/when the announcement is made? From what you might already know, would it make a huge difference in prep?

Hi guys,

I'm 64% through the CC. I finished RC, I'm almost done wth LR and I'm moving into games very soon.

Considering that we're a month and a half from the July LSAT and I haven't taken any of the practice tests...(besides June 2007 - 153) would it be reasonable to take it in July if I want 165-172 and can study full-time?

ALSO, what is a good PT schedule to follow?

Thanks!

Hi, in a former post I mentioned I did receive accommodations for the LSAT. A lot of people had questions and I hope to address some of those here by explaining my process for requesting.

To give some background, I'm an Army veteran with years of back and neck issues as well as an anxiety disorder stemming from on the job stuff as well as ADHD. When taking the test I would have panic attacks where I'd stop breathing, often I'd have neck spasms and have to stop what I was doing, and I'd just have a hard time staying focused. After the Nov 2019 test I decided to apply for accommodations.

The LSAC was super helpful and courteous. I had to make sure I had official diagnoses for each condition, I filled out the 3 forms for requesting accommodations from LSAC, and I had a doctor verify that each condition actually existed and I wasn't lying. There seemed to be some lack of clarity when I spoke with LSAC reps on who qualified as a "doctor," sometimes a social worker qualified and other times a medical doctor was required. In the end I had a PhD psychologist sign off on mine.

The LSAC was extremely courteous and kind through the whole process and very responsive. They worked with me to ensure I was able to "demonstrate my full aptitude" for the test, something that's written pretty clearly in the accommodations application. When I took the Flex I felt everything had been done so that my limiting conditions had been minimized to a very acceptable degree.

Caveat: The accommodations were NOT a silver bullet!!! This is so important to emphasize. First, your 2.5 hour test becomes a 5 hour test. This is a huge difference!!

Lastly, additional time isn't going to compensate for lack of knowledge or lack or timing strategies. @"Cant Get Right" mentioned in a webinar of his that some of his students' scores went down after being granted additional time.

Hope this helped!

Hello 7Sage!,

Anyone have, created, or know of question type strategy flashcards for all of the sections and willing to share? Or maybe just LR? Getting to the end of the CC and I wanted to know if this exists somewhere for 7sage (not sure if I just haven't gotten there but I haven't seen this yet).

Thank you in advance!

This finally game me a deeper understanding of these concepts, and the visualization really cements the idea in my mind. Just thought I would share. Let me know if this is incorrect or I'm missing something!

Hey, can anyone please tell me the optimum amount of practice tests that one should target to complete before taking the LSAT (read: LSAT Flex)?

Announcement from LSAC:

More information about LSAT-Flex

Did 49.2 as the advanced translation drill at the end of Loophole. Timed but counting up without watching the clock (just wanted to see if I could apply the Loophole strategies in real time), and was able to come in just under time.

Set the camo review (first time trying it) at 8 minimum, and it shot back 8 sequential Q's. No answers changed. -0!

Now I wish I'd done it as a full PT! Not the biggest accomplishment, but feels nice after being maxed out at -2/-1 in LR for so long. I see concerns about compatibility come up from time to time... for me Loophole was a great companion to 7sage CC.

My goal is to take the August 2020 LSAT i would like to increase my score by 13 points. i would really appreciate any tips/Advice to do this in the next 3 months i usually study about 2 hours a day but just started really doing that in May. thanks.

Do you flag and come back to hard questions at the end of each passage in RC, or do you come back to them after attempting all 25~27 questions in the section?

Similarly for LG, do you attempt all games before coming back to a flagged question?

Hello fellow 7 Sagers,

I’m cramming to study for the JULY LSAT Flex so just wondering what questions should I focus on to maximize my points/score. Also any quick tips that would help that I can focus Mainly LR but really all sections! Thanks again.

I'm working through the CC and I frequently have time during the problem sets to BR any questions that I've flagged. I've been using the extra time to go back on questions I'm not sure about. There have been times were I have been able to clarify my reasoning for AC being right/wrong and reach certainty but when I can't reach 100% certainty it isn't due to a lack of time, but rather a knowledge gap. Given this should I still be blind reviewing?

I am concerned that I can get fewer questions wrong to get the score I want with the flex as opposed to the original LSAT. Does anyone know how LSAC has explained this? Thanks!

Hi everyone! It’s my first post on 7sage so here goes..I just finished my diagnostic test and am getting ready to start the blind review process. I haven’t done much of the core curriculum. When I circled questions while doing the test I found that I was certain about almost none of the questions. On one LT section I have twenty questions circled. Is this too many to be beneficial? Or is this pretty typical when first starting out?? Thanks!

Does anyone know when your LSAT scores expire?

Hi everyone! It was just announced that the July LSAT will now be administered online as the LSAT-Flex format. I was hoping that anyone who took the previous LSAT-flex administrations could give advice to us who are about to take it!

Here are some question I have:

Did anyone get a loaner tablet from LSAC for their May FLEX test? If so, how was the user experience? And was it easy to navigate and read comfortably?

At what point should you feel comfortable that you have "mastered" a particular approach to a LR question type, so that you no longer need to review all the answer choices? or should you ALWAYS read all the answer choices? For Example, in MP questions, if you find the answer choice to be "C", do you continue to read thru the other answer choices, or just select it and move on? Is there a difference to your strategy if you think "A" is the right answer choice, do you read all choices in that situation? Plz share any info on answering strategies to increase speed and accuracy. Thnx!

LSAC just announced it.

Hi everyone! I'm an international test taker. As LSAC announced today, our paper test in June is becoming FLEX in July. This makes me very nervous since I've never experienced digital LSAT. So according to your experience, what kind of equipment works best for FLEX? Desktop v. Laptop, Mac v. Windows, with a mouse v. without a mouse, touch monitor v. non-touch monitor. Any advice is welcome! Thank you so much!

Hi, I was supposed to take the 28 June test in East Asia but it's been switched to FLEX, and I'm trying to make an account for ProctorU for taking the FLEX.

When I try to make an account it says "choose an institution" but my uni's name is not on the list nor can I choose the LSAC as my institution.

How did y'all make your accounts?

thanks

Hi guys,

I am registered for the July 13th LSAT. (Today is May 27th). I am contemplating whether or not I should invest into the 7Sage course. According to the Study schedule generator, I would have to work 134 hours per week. There is a total of 168 hours per week. Assuming I sleep 7 hours per day that gives me 112 hours per week. Which seems impossible. However, I have been self-studying since August of 2019 and my score increased from my cold diagnostic of 147 to my most recent being a 160. I have also did the powerscore bibles on logical reasoning and logic games. I want to maximize my score as much as I can and I find the 7Sage course breakdown one that I could productively follow rather then just doing preptest over and over and not seeing much improvement.

Would it be a good idea/possible for me to finish the entire course by July 13th given that I have a moderately advanced understanding of most topics in the course but I feel relearning them in a different way will help me become more effective at the LSAT. Or is that just wishful thinking and I should just continue doing preptests and reviewing. Moving my test date is something I do not want to do as I am planning to apply to Canadian law schools for the fall of 2021 which opens up this coming summer.
