Once I finish the Blind Review for problem sets how do I advance or see how I did on that set?

I think I might be spotting a technical issue in the curriculum. In the "Introduction to Logic" section, all of the video explanations for the quizzes do not play smoothly. They constantly stop and start, as if buffering. I do not have this problem on any other part of the curriculum in "Intro to Logic" or otherwise. I do not have this problem when watching the impacted videos on my phone. It also does not seem to be a wifi issue as my phone is connected to the same wifi, and all my other sites and videos are playing fine. I have cleared my browser's (chrome) cache. I am on a Lenovo laptop operating Windows 10 Home. Any idea what might be going on? It is pretty frustrating to have to open up only certain videos on my phone if I want to watch them as I move through the curriculum on my computer.

Here is one of the pages on which I have encountered this problem: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/quiz-group-4-translations-1-w-answers/?ss_completed_lesson=10107

Thanks!

I will be taking the June 2020 LSAT and plan to take it once more either in August or October. I have paid for the test itself, but I'm wondering when would be the best time to purchase CAS. Additionally, should I purchase the packages that allow me to send the reports to schools now, or wait until I have taken the test (in case I don't get the score I want)? Or should those be done after I take the second test so that those scores will be sent? I'm new to this whole process, so I would love any advice on this! Thanks!

Hi guys,

I'm new to 7sage. Although I've had an account for awhile (free trial), I finally bought the ultimate course level a couple of weeks ago. My biggest problem is timing. In my diagnostic test, I was barely finishing half of each section on time; but with BR, I increased by score by 16 points.

I'm still working on the curriculum, but I was wondering if it is recommended to go through every PTs before taking the LSAT? If you didn't take every PT, how many did you take, and did you feel like you took enough PTs? Do you have any advice for determining when you are ready to take the LSAT?

Hi all,

I am new to 7sage and trying to create a study schedule for myself. I only want to create a schedule to complete the core curriculum (215 hours) but it's only giving me the option to create a schedule to complete 900 hours of material, which I assume includes the practice tests? Does anybody know if there is a way to adjust this? Any help would be appreciated! :)

So I've been doing a few prep tests, under timed conditions and have seen great results. The past 3 i've taken were a 161, 163 and 165. However, I took one today without feeling 100% focused and got a 157, a decently sized step backward. I was wondering if anyone else has ever run into this, and how you dealt with it

Hi 7sage!

I'm doing timed PTs now and so far I have done 4. I am having such a hard time with timing as right when the timer hits I get stressed and anxious and I just can't seem to do well under timed conditions. Feeling rushed and under pressure takes away so much of my reasoning ability and my brain just goes crazy, which i'm sure is why LSAC does this in the first place! When I do my work untimed I get all the answers or most of the answers all correct.

How long did it take you all to get use to the timing conditions? How many PTs did it take you to feel somewhat comfortable?

Thanks 7Sage!

I've been a long time member of 7Sage... I know the website used to have a section that stores all links for previously held webinars by Sages... but, it looks like the section has been removed from the website.

Is there any way we can have an access to previous webinar series?

Thanks

Hi everyone! I decided to retake the LSAT for the 4th time this June and apply for the 2021 cycle vs remain in the 2020 application pool. My final LSAT score for January 2020 was a 151. I started studying again mid-March as I have had a ton of time now that I work from home. My average for the last 3 tests I’ve taken is a 153. I do a section a day and have scored a 155 through that. I’m hoping to score at least a 160 in June and was hoping someone could offer some advice? Currently I do a section a day, review that section, and then drill the corresponding section + logical reasoning. I also take a PT every Saturday and try to review it on Sunday. I’m hoping a month is enough time but any advice would be appreciated!

So I have finally gone thru all of the 7Sage courseload. I made an outline for Logical Reasoning (as this seems to be the most information/technique memorization section) and made quick flash cards pertaining to all sections for indicator words and other things.

What is the best way to study and review? Drill questions? Obviously do full preptests but i cannot do them everyday. Base studying off of analytics?

Planning on taking August exam, so I have time to blitz thru everything. Just trying to be thorough.

Hope everyone is doing okay with COVID-19! I am a pharmacist, so I am still working but squeezing in study time daily.

Hi,

So lately we have all seen the bad news online and people losing their jobs. Yet, at the same time, it is best to stay at home to avoid infecting others, ourselves, and our families. I really want to help others during this pandemic, but it is hard to come up with good ideas that can really help others without me leaving the house too much. Does anybody here have any good ideas? Anything goes

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I was under the impression that the LSAT is the gold standard for Law School Admissions and while schools will not outright say this - the GRE is viewed less favorably since it's (somewhat) easier.

Anyway, I posted a screenshot on snapchat of a practice test I took yesterday (I got a 171) and this guy I know messages me telling me:

Test centers are closed AND

I should take the GRE instead.

I inform him about the remote proctored version. Before I can mention that the LSAT is a harder exam he goes on about how the law schools prefer the GRE...

He then asked me what my score was - even though he was responding to a post of my score - and recommended I apply to schools (that are not even T50)

I find it funny when people act like this and just thought I would share.

Hello amazing 7Sage community! I would appreciate some feedback concerning my study strategy.

I sat November and got a 158 after going through the Powerscore Bibles and the Loophole. I’m trying to score in the 170s, so I upgraded to Ultimate after receiving my score. I’m plugging through the core curriculum, but am wondering if it would be beneficial to start taking PTs as I go through the curriculum. I was originally planning on taking the LSAT again this fall, but the LSAT Flex is becoming increasingly attractive to me as I hit major fatigue during sections 4 & 5 during a full PT.

Would I be doing myself a disservice by “wasting” PTs if I’m not done with the full core curriculum? I know this process takes time, and I’ve been studying for a year now. I’m just trying to see if anyone else is feeling the fire to try to take the Flex option.

Thank you so much!

I cant seem to find any info on this. Can you cancel LSAT flex scores like you can for normal LSAT administrations like within 5-6 days after taking?

74 - 88 (Most recent)?

OR

Others you think are quite valuable? Mixture of any between 1 - 88?

Hello all,

Does anyone have any advice/tips for how to sustain and intensify focus and discipline throughout studying? I've been studying for the LSAT for a while and even though I wouldn't say I'm burnt out, there's obviously a general fatigue/"I'm so sick of this" feeling that I'm trying to push through. I'm not a big study-er at all and I hate monotonous/dull work, so my focus while studying for the LSAT comes in spurts. When I'm in the middle of such a spurt, I'm very productive and am able to accomplish A LOT. But I just can't sustain that for a long period of time, and I fear that this lack of consistency/lack of sustaining the discipline is impeding my progress/preventing me from making substantial gains.

Has anyone been through this? Has anyone experienced this and still was able to get to their target score? Is this even normal...I always tend to think top scorers don't have this problem.

Thanks a lot!

I accidentally hit the -6% time or whatever it was and it ended my preptest saying "time has expired" while I had 2 questions left. This was a mistake, how do I go back to the section I just "completed"?????

This is URGENT. I need a response ASAP

Hello!

I am looking for some study advice after not getting into my target school this cycle. I have already taken the LSAT twice, once in October and once in January. I scored a 157 and 156. I was PTing higher at around 162, with a few at 164 and 165. I had a lot of test anxiety and the second time around had a RC experimental section, which is my worst section. Two RC passages killed me :( Unfortunately I burned through A LOT of PTs without doing proper blind review (I hadn't heard of that method yet) and didn't have good organization. I haven't studied in almost 4 months and I honestly don't have track of what PT's I've taken, because I went way overboard on the timed sections.

I've read all of the Power score Bibles and have completed one of their online courses. The last few weeks of my studying I stumbled upon 7sage and really liked the methods and the online format however didn't have much time to use it. My goal score is high 160's, as my target school's median is at 168. Sometimes I don't know if it's even possible for me to get my LSAT that high. I'm sure like many of you, I get frustrated because I feel like I study a tremendous amount, yet do not see the gains in my score. Just looking on some guidance on how to spend my upcoming time. My goal date is September, however that is flexible. I thought I'd work through the course material, but am wondering how often I should do a PT? or how much time I should spend full proofing games? I would say LG is by far my best section at around -2 average, however every once in awhile I come in at -5 or -7 which significantly reduces my score. Any guidance is much appreciated! Thanks!

As the title says, I got a 146 on my diagnostic. I was pretty devastated. I took it last week. I was planning on taking the LSAT in October. I'm finishing up my senior year of undergrad currently. My GPA is very high (3.98). Thus I am aiming to attend a T-14. But I am not sure if attaining a 165-170 LSAT score this October is realistic given my diagnostic. So I have been considering entering law school in Fall 2022 rather than Fall 2021. Any advice for me? Should I aim for this October? I have read the article by 7Sage on the "Three Worst Mistakes of LSAT Prep." It said that one should study for a year. I just wonder if that would lead to burnout. Thanks for the help!

Hi all. So I recently did my first few PTs after going slowly and diligently through the CC. I went from a 152 diagnostic to a 165 on my last PT. (Would definitely advocate going diligently through CC---I was able to increase my score this much without drilling yet beyond CC and a few full length tests.)

So my main concern here is timing. On my last test that I got a 165 actual, I got a 174 BR. I plan on taking the June test and want to know what my best approach is to getting timing down. On my last few PTs, I have missed 1-2 LR questions per section and the rest I missed from LG and RC. Does it make sense for me to focus on doing timed sections of RC and LG for the next month and a half? Should I keep taking timed full length PTs or just focus on LG and RC?

Hello Everyone! I've heard a little bit about top scorers toggling between 'Active Hunter Mode' (anticipating and searching for the ACA) vs 'Passive Receiver Mode' (contemplating each answer choice) and am hoping to pull the sages on some advice and best practices.

Do you toggle in between the two based on question type and/or your level of understanding of the stimulus? If the former, are there certain question types you believe more predisposed to one mode vs. the other (this is my hypothesis of the breakdown in LR ONLY):

Passive Receiver:

Strengthen

Weaken

Must be true

Most strongly supported

Must be false

Necessary assumption

Resolve, reconcile, explain

Active Hunter:

Sufficient assumption

Pseudo-sufficient assumption

Principle

Flawed method of reasoning

Parallel method of reasoning

Parallel flawed method of reasoning

Main point

Argument part

Depends:

Point at issue

Method of reasoning

Miscellaneous

Is the current mode that you are in the 'foreground' of your mind as you start to read the ACs or have you drilled it to be operating in the background? Basically, do you repeat to yourself, "okay, I'm in X mode, now" ever? I've just started trying to use this so not sure the extent to which I should expect this to be drilled into my subconscious.

Do you make an effort to be more in Active Hunter Mode in RC relative LR because of the amount of material?

Appreciate any and all thoughts!

If you're registered for the March or April LSAT like me, you probably got an email with this sentence in it: "Candidates currently registered for the April 2020 LSAT will be automatically registered to take the LSAT-Flex in the second half of May unless they choose another option (see below)." So of course I assumed I didn't need to do anything to be registered for the May LSAT-Flex test.

I was surprised then to see this tweet from Dave Killorian (CEO of PowerScore and a must follow for updates):

https://twitter.com/DaveKilloran/status/1250101285879042048?s=20

So I log into my LSAC account only to see a banner at the top of my home page that indicates I have to OPT-IN to take the May LSAT-Flex, and that the deadline to do so is 4/17. I don't know what the hell LSAC is doing telling people they are automatically registered and then requiring people to opt-in, I was so pissed.

All this to say, if you were signed up for March or April, log into your LSAC account and DOUBLE CHECK that you are registered for the May LSAT-Flex. You may still need to opt-in.

Just heard back from LSAC - as of now they have not decided whether or not scratch paper will be allowed. So for anyone taking it in may should prepare for the possibility that it won't be allowed...

Hello. I'm working on the MSS section, and when I go to different review sections with videos, it takes me to a Wordpress site and the webpage says "This site is experiencing technical difficulties." I'm using Google Chrome on my Macbook 2017 with the latest IOS, if that is helpful. IDK. However, when I go to other sections of this course without videos, it works just fine. Is anyone else having this issue? Can someone please help me, please? I'm worried. Thanks!
