Ever since LSAT Flex was announced for the July test, I have been saving the second logical reasoning section for last. My logic here is to try and simulate the experience of a varied, three-section test before completing an "extra" section at the end. That being said, I've struggled to maintain my discipline in the fourth section mostly because I know it won't be there on game day. While I could stand to motivate myself more here, what would be the point, exactly? It's not clear to me how extra time on logical reasoning is necessary in the blind review process if I want to start emphasizing other parts of the test which will now be weighed more heavily than before.

Under its 7Sage Flex Score Calculator, our friends at 7Sage make this recommendation: "... you've already been given the best converter in existence from the LSAC itself: the regular 4 section PrepTest. Take 4 section PTs. That will be the best predictor of how you will do on a 3 section Flex test. On test day, frame the loss of 1 LR section to yourself as a treat: 1 fewer stress inducing nerve-racking task to do."

Hi all I have a question for those who have had to push their test date back. I started the curriculum at the end of February after trying to study on my own for two months and not getting anywhere. I recently finished the curriculum and am in the process of foolproofing before I begin the pt phase. I was hoping to be ready for August and last resort October. However, I watched a 7 sage video last night about the post curriculum strategy by a sage named Josh who describes the three phases after the curriculum. After watching this I realized even though I finished the curriculum I still have a very very long way to go with this test and it does not seem like I will be ready by August and possibly even October. This is kind of disappointing because that is the date I had my eye set on for a while. I am wondering how anyone has dealt with the disappointment of having to delay your test date and sort of the mindset that helped you get over that disappointment. Thanks in advance for your responses!

Hi all, every time i do the individual passages before the problem sets on RC, i almost always go -1 or -2 with 9-10min/passage and questions. However when i do the problem sets for the RC, my score tanks to -4 to -6. Is there anything i can do to help me from rushing through the passages and stressing out about the time constraints? thanks for any feedback.

I'm about to start the advanced PSA and SA portion of the CC, and with the PSets I've been realizing a recurring theme:

I have 6:40 to finish the 5 questions so I try to balance out the time to about 45 seconds to 1:15 per question and a little extra time on those that are longer/more convoluted. 80% of the time, I end up speeding through parts of the PSets because I'm running out of time, but once I hit blind review, I can take my time and review everything and end up getting everything correct or perhaps miss one.

My question is if that's just because I haven't done enough practice problems yet. I'm able to do the questions and understand the concepts, but application takes longer than I want. How can I speed this up? Can I even speed it up? Or is it just about how much time I put into analyzing it so my brain can start developing shortcuts?

Planning on taking the August 29th LSAT btw.

Are these separate classes or one course?

Hi all,

I am new to 7sage. Previously, I used a Kaplan prep course that was from Jan-March. During this time, I had a few hiccups in life and couldn't dedicate all the time I intended to my LSAT prep but did learn what seems to be the fundamentals. In the last month, I have hunkered down and devoted a lot more time to studying and reached a plateau in my progress, especially when it comes to Logic Games. That is how I ended up at 7sage.

Right now, I am scoring a 162, and I want to raise my score at least 10 points. I work full time but still plan on devoting about 20 hours to studying each week. I was initially planning on taking the August LSAT. However, the 7sage ideology of not studying with a specific deadline and instead studying for the greatest possible score I can achieve really resonated with me. That being said, I am looking for advice on how to use all the resources of 7sage. My questions are:

Thanks in advance!

I am taking the June 14th LSAT Flex. However, in the prep tests I'm doing, they have 4 sections - 2 LR, 1 LG, and 1 RC. Since the LSAT Flex only has one section of each, how should i prepare for this? Is there a way to make a unique prep test with only 3 sections? Or should I just take them as normal?

Thanks!!

I'm seriously struggling with taking tests/reading on a computer screen. There's at least 10 point decrease in all 4 sections when I take the test online compared to when I take it on paper. I'm registered for July and August LSAT and honestly am not sure if I can improve my scores by then when I'm struggling this much. Losing all the confidence here!

For some reason the pages will randomly stop scrolling up. It makes it so you can’t see the content below whatever loads originally. I have to log out and log back into the app when it happens to continue moving forward. It’s happened on random pages with a video, and on question pages.

Any help appreciated, Thanks

Hello,

I recently started the 7sage course and I'm about a quarter of the way through the core curriculum. I was wondering if you all would recommend finishing the core curriculum and THEN taking practice tests, or taking practice tests (i.e. timed sections that correspond to the core curriculum topic) throughout the core curriculum lessons?

I guess I just feel a little bit of a rush because I haven't take a practice test in a while since starting the course and I'm hoping to take the test before the end of the year..If anyone has any input on what approach worked for them, I'd really appreciate it!! Thank you!

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?
