I just had dinner with the Admissions director of my local law school (social friend) and she said the logic games are going to be shortly dropped from the LSAT? What is this? I stop lurking for 2 months and now they have plans to change the darn test??

Is this option still available for visually impaired?

When I review the answers (either in the examples or the problem sets) there is a small chart representing all answer choices with the correct answer highlighted. If I hover my pointer over that chart, I see percentages for each answer choice along the bottom, and what looks like LSAT scores for each answer across the top. What do these percentages and scores refer to?

Thanks!

Anyone attend this school or is attending this school? I am considering looking into it but concerned if its worth it. If I can do law I would do private practice, immigration, family law or personal injury are the main areas I am drawn too.

Anyone else having troubles with the website? I printed a couple LSATs last week and I did one this week but now there's no where to enter my answers. Every preptest link just brings me to the digital tester (which I don't find helpful at all, i'd rather print and do paper practices). Is this a glitch or was there some update I'm unaware of?

Even if i go to analytics, there's no tab to enter scores.

Hey 7sagers,

since two days ago all of a sudden I cannot use the small gray button that looks like a magnifier underneath "Question QuickView" besides the question number to see the question again after I score a PT. I use that for all the questions I got wrong, just to reread the stimulus and think through it before looking at the correct answer, so this problem has caused a lot of inconvenience. I tried clearing cache but the problem is still there. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? This happened around the same time when the new functions like "printable", "convert" and "delete" (in red), and I have never had any problem with seeing the stimulus again using that small gray button before. Can anyone help me to fix this? Since I don't want to know which answer is correct, it's been really painful to have go back and forth to see just the stimulus.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have the LSAT ultimate+ package and just finished the core curriculum. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all the materials I have to work with. I know I should foolproof the LG bundle, but after that how do I best utilize all the practice tests I have? Which tests should I use for taking whole practice tests? And which number tests should I use to drill timed or untimed sections?

I'm planning on taking the LSAT in Summer 2020 (most likely in July) which gives me around 9 months of study time.

Thanks for your help!

They've just disappeared. What happened??

My plan is this:

Make a Google Calendar where I log the times I studied that day, as well as a brief description of the key points.

I would love someone to do this with me. Studying alone has been so miserably isolating. This would be a great, non-intrusive way to look at what each other are working on and reach out if we see some extended lapses in studying.

Would love everyone's input and help! I have taken the lsat twice, 148 first, and 153 second. My cum gpa is 3.1, while my major gpa was 3.6. I got into Rutgers and wait-listed at Northeastern last cycle, denied from schools in top 20. I have a strong record of public interest work at a public defenders office, where I've worked since college. Do I reapply early before December (if it would help my chances), improving everything but my LSAT, or wait to January, take the LSAT, and apply at the final deadline (worried with my numbers that this would hurt me)? I work fulltime and need to ensure I have the enough study time to improve over 5 points, and hopefully score in the 160s. Goal schools are BC/BU. Please help!

Is anybody else finding this to be the case with all of their PT explanation videos? How do I resolve this?

So I just got 7Sage, however I've been studying for the LSAT for a few months now off and on. I have taken probably ~17 PTs (most of them being pre PT35) and gone through the powerscore Logic Games book as well the Logical reasoning book (didn't find that helpful).

My question is should I put my Practice Tests on hold until I've completed the Core Curriculum? I've only gone through a few units of it so far, but I'm already changing my strategies and seeing new ways to tackle problems.

It seems like it would be a waste to use some of my practice tests before being as ready as I can be from a strategies stand point.

Any input would be appreciated, Thanks!

Im considering buying extra "newer" tests to practice on.

Input appreciated.

Thanks.

I am taking the train into Boston to take the LSAT. Its about an hour way from me. What am I supposed to do with my cell, keys, wallet, etc?? Are there lockers?? I cannot navigate Boston without a cellphone. HELP

Hi. because PT 88 LG was so tough, i decided to have every best explanation available possible for obtaining

best possible understanding.

so i bought starter pack (the only one I can afford) plus PT 88 extension last month

BEFORE JY made big announcement of 7 Sage cannot no longer offer such services of LG videos.

but the 7 Sage policy is after November 15, all 7-sage LG videos will be gone unless premium or higher paid users.

would i able to see 7 sage official video explanations at all for LG of PT EXTENSIONS of PT 88 solutions prior to November 15th?

also, what happens to those people who bought starter pack like my situation, who bought before JY made an announcement with extension of each Prep Test? would LG for purchased PT Extensions such as PT 87 or 86 will be available?

LSAC said that they would allow test takers to adjust the tablet stand at any angle except straight up(which I think is 90 degrees). Previously you could only tilt it 30 degrees. They made this change to better help avoid glare.

Was your experience In October where you could adjust the tablet stand at any angle? Was that more helpful in avoiding glare? Thanks

Has anyone else had technical issues with the highlight function and text size/wrapping when taking PTs using the Digital Tester lately? The Digitial Tester used to work flawlessly for me, but about the time my iPad Air (3rd Gen.) updated to iOS13, I started having the following issues:

For reference, I am using an iPad Air (3rd Gen.) running iOS 13.1.3. I've tried running the Tester on both Safari and Chrome, but it doesn't make a difference. Likewise, force refreshing and clearing the browser's cache didn't help either. Again, the Tester used to work flawlessly and the only thing I can really think of that might have changes on my end was a software update. Aside from that, I am completely stumped, so I am curious to know if anyone has found a work-around for this problem (aside from using another device).

They are not working for me!!

Hi all,

I feel so honored being able to finally make a post like this but damn does it feel good!

I got my score back from the October Asia test today and got a 174!

This is my personal best. I scored a 164 on the June test and had several 169s and one 173. Looks like I peaked on test day!

I never took a true diagnostic but scored a 153 untimed when I took the June 2007 test before beginning my journey. Guessing it would’ve been in the 140s timed?

I have so many people to thank for supporting me, but I especially want to give a big shout out to:

@"Lucas Carter" @"Cant Get Right", Rav, Alex divine, Jon Denning from powerscore, Ellen Cassidy from Loophole, and the Jedi master himself, JY

This community has been so supportive and helpful throughout my 1.5 year journey. I’ve met so many wonderful people. I really couldn’t have done it without the 7sage community!

Some tips and info for posterity:

I used 7sage and the Loophole for my prep. The LSAT trainer did not help me that much. I think combining the Loophole and 7sage methods helped me get to -1/-2 averages on LR, sometimes even -0.

@"Cant Get Right" method on skipping and moving on when you hit a certain expected value prediction helped me limit time wasted.

reviewing the common flaws daily on quizlet, with LSAT question examples, helped me quickly identify flaws and not waste any time

doing half a section of timed LR sections daily, from sections I have already done (odd questions one day then even questions the next) helped drill pacing, skipping, and my LR approach.

deep dive BR and then thoroughly reviewing, setting questions I just didn’t really get aside in a binder and then revisiting until I got them

practicing translating RC passages into my own words and then being very strict with my POE process in the questions: eliminate inaccurate ACs and picking the ones that required the least assumptions

repeating “be sensitive to the support” as a mantra on every LR question so that I would stay disciplined and attack the gap rather than the premises or conclusions

Lastly, worry about getting good before getting fast!

Best of luck everyone!

Hi

I know it's very last minute since applications are due in 4 hours. But is anyone willing to take a quick glance at my personal statement and provide feedback? I wanted some last and final feedback before submitting the applications.

Thanks in advance

I took a testing here, and I have to say, it was very well done. We were placed only a few people per table, so every other chair was left empty and every other row was empty, too. They divided us up into three separate, smaller rooms. I think fewer people in each class room really helped keep the rooms quieter. Their chairs were super comfy, and the temperature was perfect. Would recommend!

Hi guys,

I am looking for a tutor for the LG section, in particular, for MISC games. If anyone thinks that is their strong point, or if anyone knows someone where that is the case, please DM me.

Thanks so much!

Hey guys! Need some help on study strategy! This is the classic panicked rant of a desperate man but at this point I'll try anything to improve lmao.

I'm taking the November LSAT in just under a month and am scoring consistently in the mid-160's. My last five PT's ordered sequentially from first to last have been: 167, 165, 160, 164, and 164 respectively. I would love to break into that upper 160's/low 170's zone as quickly as possible as test day is getting closer but it seems I can't quite get everything to come together at once.

My LR averages around -5, and RC is averaging around -3. Previously my LG was always around -10 but I really targeted that, as it's supposed to be the easiest section on which to improve. Today I got my LG down to -3, but LR went up to about -15 total... Does anyone have any advice on what my next steps should be? I don't seem to consistently get any one type of question wrong. All the questions I get wrong seem to just be higher in difficulty. I want to be extremely clinical and precise with my study habits over the next week as test day approaches, so if you've got any advice that would be huge! Thanks! :)

The LSAT was the last hurdle for me in order to get into law school, and because of that, it was the exam I dreaded. I was petrified of getting a bad score and having all of my hard work go down the drain after working hard after four years at university. Because I amped up the LSAT so much, I had extreme anxiety over it, and made it seem like the most important thing in my life.

So after graduating and receiving a Fulbright, I started studying around May of 2018 towards the end of my Fulbright. I came home in June and was rushing and thought it would be a good idea to take the sept 2018 LSAT. Despite having a concussion and having personal things happening in my life that were impacting my mental and physical health, I took it, thought it did okay, and kept the score. Then, my worst nightmare had come true- I had done extremely poorly on the exam, at least 10 points below what I was PTing. After that, I entered a deep depression and even questioned going to law school. Then I began to talk to people on 7sage, who encouraged me to keep going. I knew that first score didn't define my abilities, and that I could do better if I studied the right way. About a year later, I took the September 2019 exam and received a 169 - 21 points up from my diagnostic which was a 148. I went through so many tutors and so many resources that I feel my experience would be helpful with someone who is still in the process of studying, so I want to share some things I learned here:

1- Dont EVER listen to people who doubt you. I drove my family crazy being so obsessed over this exam, and if it was up to my family they would have let me settle for a mediocre score. I also broke up with my significant other because he thought I 'studied too much' and I am not sorry about it. You need people who believe in you.

2- This one is especially for girls. I have always performed really well academically but with the test I was a literal mess; i lost sleep, lost like 12 pounds and was not okay most of the time while studying until a couple months ago. (side note- taking care of your mental health is very important) Even when I had studied hard and knew I put in the work, I always thought I did bad. You need to have confidence in yourself. By and large women are vastly under-confident as compared to men, and obviously this has to do with societal factors and gender roles but practice confidence. A book that helped me do this was called the confidence code. read it. The moment I started to believe in myself is when I stopped having so much anxiety.

3- Try your best not to depend on other's explanations. I started improving when I stopped depending on explanations so much and really trying to ask myself why is this answer right? In the beginning JY's videos helped me alot cause you're so unfamiliar with the exam and its helpful to see the structure of the questions, especially for LR. Also do not use anything else for LG and conditional reasoning except 7sage. It is by far superior than any other resource I have used so thank you 7sage and @J.Y. Ping love u ;*

4- LEARN ARGUMENTATION AND CONDITIONAL REASONING. I cannot stress this enough. Every LSAT stimulus has some logical structure underneath all those words. For example, If I say P then C, you need to know what I am assuming is P ---> C, and then questions will have you weaken, strengthen, or call out that assumption (known as flaw questions).

5- UNDERSTANDING IS KEY. A huge game-changer in my score was the Loophole, by Ellen Cassidy. Ellen is literally amazing, and she taught me that the most important work you will do hinges on actually understanding what the argument is doing/saying. What helped me was reading her book, and then doing an exercise where I would only look at the LSAT stimulus, translate it into my own words, and ask myself: what is wrong with this argument (also known as a loophole). You have to have to be engaged in the stimulus and the loophole is how you do it (if you want more info read her book it is honestly worth every penny). You need to understand that most of the arguments on LR are flawed, and those loopholes are really assumptions that the questions will have you attack in different ways depending on the question type. Dont rush straight to the answer choices before you understand what is going on in the stimulus. Once you understand the assumptions being made in the stimulus and just what is really going on, it becomes must easier to delineate the wrong answers from the right ones.

6- Take this exam seriously. My Fulbright and my work in the US focuses on working with refugees. Alot of the refugees I worked with abroad have literally no rights and do not have access to education. I'm going to law school to change that but you and I have a huge privilege of even getting the opportunity to attend any college at all- something that the refugee women I worked for didn't have the opportunity to do. So if all else fails, have a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep the end goal in mind. Whenever I doubted myself, I remembered the individuals who this law degree was going to be for and that kept me going. I remembered what a privilege it was to even have an education in the first place, and felt grateful. Practice gratitude, and make this journey about something greater than yourself.

7- Dont listen to anyone who says you can only improve by a couple of points because that is a complete lie lol

8- Lastly, I just took the October exam because I am hoping for a little of a higher score. I love the LSAT so much and really want to help people who feel hopeless about this exam because honestly you CAN do it!!! I promise. So I will be offering tutoring for people- if you are interested you can DM me (3(/p)

The LSAT changed me: it made me more patient, a more careful reader, a more critical thinker, and a bigger believer that hard work pays off if you are really dedicated. So thank you 7sage for being on this journey with me and helping me along the way; My journey is officially over!!! (3(/em)
