Hey everyone,

I've been studying with 7Sage for a few weeks and I'm curious about your approach on taking notes and keeping track of your work, especially in terms of LR.

For instance, I used to BR problem sets by thinking to myself or out loud and did not take any notes. But lately I started taking detailed notes of the questions that I had trouble with in the problem sets by writing out the premise/conclusion and explanations for each AC on a Word doc. But I found this to be taking too much time (especially because I feel like I should review almost every question in the set) and I feel like it can become a bit of an overkill. I additionally draw some key diagrams that JY's using in his videos and noting down very minimal stuff, which I can easily review afterwards. But I'm not sure if I can/will review my question notes again.

I wonder if you have any recommendations on how to proceed with note taking/journaling. I would appreciate your insights!

Hello all,

I'm currently studying to take the February exam and I have a goal of about 170-172 in mind.

I recently started taking timed practice tests and my average score is around 164-165. When I take practice tests untimed, I score around 168-170. I find myself going over the 35 minutes in reading comprehension and occasionally in logical reasoning.

I have about 1.5 months left of studying and I'm open to trying new techniques to improve my score! If you don't mind sharing your ways with me, I would really really appreciate it!

Thank you~

I am having a hard time accessing the PDF files for the questions. The system tells me to enter a password & when I do it says the password is invalid. I have changed my password 3 times and I’m having no luck accessing them. #pleasehelp

I've been finishing my applications for schools and waiting to hear back from them still. Am I supposed to do the FAFSA right now too or can I wait to complete that after they've admitted me?

Hi, I understand that UC Davis law school has the following requirement: supplemental material combined with the personal statement must not exceed more than four pages. Supplemental addenda should follow your personal statement and be appropriately labeled within the personal statement document you plan to upload with your application.

With that said, my personal essay is 2.5 pages and my diversity statement is 1.5 pages, so if I combined them, one right after the other, it would meet the maximum. I was wondering if that is acceptable, or if we have to clearly separate the diversity statement in a whole new page?

Thanks!!

I took a diagnostic test on paper, then I circled in my anwers to the answer sheet on 7sage. I also want to circle in my blind review answers, like in the problem sets, so I can get more accurate analytics. I hope this is possible and if so, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on this.

I've had my Bachelor's degree completed for some time now. However, I came across a program at my local community college that would get me (yet another) Associates Degree (Legal Studies/Paralegal Program) and would also have me officially certified as a paralegal. This actually sounds like a really good idea for me considering my GPA is below a 3.0. I would; 1. Have the opportunity to take all ABA approved courses which, if I excel in them, would look good on my resume for multiple reasons and show that I have interest in the legal profession; 2. Boost my GPA (I assume, considering how LSAC computes your overall GPA); and 3. Become a certified paralegal which, in the long run, might help my employ-ability (maybe, I hope? :D )

Does anybody see any potential reasons why I shouldn't do this? I'm 25, and about 2.5 years removed from my undergrad, but not rushing into law school since I want to make the absolute most out of it and have the ability to get into a wide range of schools. Also, I live in New Jersey, which means that since I don't make enough money annually, I get to take this program for free! :D I feel like given my situation with my sub-par grades, and since I am not in a huge rush to get into law school and can finish the program in a year, I should do this. Any thoughts? Thanks so much!

After taking PT 76 on paper, I graded my scores on here. After I grade my pt's, the option to blind review comes up. For this pt, the blind review grading did not come up and it said "save and submit changes". My blind review score came up as the same score as my pt score but I was unable to put in my blind review answers. Any solution?

Hi all,

Do transcripts live forever on LSAC or do I have to re-submit every cycle i apply?Also, do recs carry over or must be submitted every year? i was going to apply, but decided to take a gap year.

the "Logic Games" category on the sidebar of the iPhone app for me is stuck with descriptions of the different LSAT courses 7sage offers, but I'm already signed into my ultimate+ account. I think this might be related to how the LG videos were removed from youtube. lmk if any of you know how to fix this

I've been prepping on and off again over the past few months in preparation for the July test. It's only recently that I've gotten consistent with studying and have been increasing my hours.

I'm sure some others have also felt this, the disparity between the days that I enjoy lsat prepping and the days that I dread it have exhausted me. To be frank, I feel like I'm never going to get through the core curriculum, even with the % completion increasing every day.

Do any of you have tips for staying motivated or building discipline?

The only thing that has kept me from giving up is knowing what my goals are. Sometimes I'll say them out loud to myself or write them out on paper over and over again. Even if you don't believe in the power of manifestation (I'm not sure I do either) there's a lot of power in remembering what you want out of life.

I would love to know how you guys keep your heads up when the lsats are trying to drag you under.

Best of luck. x

Hi folks and Merry Christmas!

PT 89 has just been released and to make sure the January test takers can get full use of this PT I am hosting a blind review session for PT 89 on zoom at 2pm eastern time. This will cover the first 2 sections of the PT (logic games and LR section 1)

The idea behind a blind review session is that you come prepared having completed the assigned sections and reviewed them yourself without having marked or looked at the answers. You can then let the group know which questions you had difficulties with and we can go through them together. As the facilitator I will then analyze your approach to the questions and give you some advice as to why you perhaps had difficulty with the question and tweaks to improve your approach moving forward.

The videos for this PT are not yet available so if you have questions about this PT and you want definitive answers before the January admission of the LSAT I highly recommend you join!

The link to the meeting is below (it is on zoom)

I received a cold diagnostic score a week ago scoring a 144. Then I have done roughly 20 hours of this online course for a week and took a practice test and scored a 152, I did not count any questions I guessed on for this score, however I did not take logic games since I have not studied it so I held it constant at 9 correct answers since that is what I got on my prior practice test. Any advice to get my practice score up to 160-162? I am preparing for the February 2020 LSAT and my goal is a 160-165. Is this obtainable even though I can only study for 20 hours a week due to work and school?

Quick Question: My 7sage access expires in about a week. Right now I am registered for the most basic plan and have been thinking of upgrading to LSAT premium. If I upgrade, does that mean I get to use it for just an extra month or more?

Hey Guys,

I am a first time test taker and I honestly don't know where to start. I don't know what study materials to use and I truly need help building a study schedule. Can someone possibly give me tips that can help me out?

Thanks so much
