When is the next one - will there be one before the July test?????

Hey guys, so having signed up for a slot for International Flex with ProctorU, it seems like both LSAC and ProctorU are operating in US time zones.

In my case, for AEST, my available slots were between 6pm to 7am, and I signed up for a 7:20pm one.

I've never taken a night time standardized test, I've noticed that my timed PTs are scoring 5-7 marks below my morning averages.

Any tips on how to prepare for this kind of timing?

Does anyone else think the JY sounds just like Michael Barbaro from the Daily?

I can't unhear it!

Word around town is that the July exam is going to be one of those exams that LSAC pulls out of the vault from several years ago, so doing PTs 75-83 might not be the best way to prepare for it.

Curious as to how far back yall are going in the PTs?

Personally don't think they're gonna go back too far so I'm doing pts 60-70.

Is it recommended to do the core curriculum in order? It was my understanding that most people begin with logic games, however logical reasoning appears to take up the first month+ or so of studying. Is it ill-advised to go out of order for the core curriculum?

Hello, I seem to be having a major issue when reviewing problem sets that make navigating the site near impossible. The answer choices, question difficulty and stimulus difficulty info are completely absent and the priority and explanation video are located to the left of the succeeding question. Has anyone else run into this problem/know how to resolve this issue? I have reviewed older problem sets to see if this bug impacts them but they seem to be perfectly formatted still.

Kind regards

Hi all, I am registered for the July Flex and was wondering if anyone who took the June Flex has any tips/insights? I am nervous about taking the test in my home and I've also heard some horror stories about proctors not showing up on time/not muting their mic and other technical issues. I also have been practicing on a tablet however now that we have to take it on a computer I wanted to know if that posed any specific issues for anyone? I took on PT on a computer to see and had a significantly lower score than usual, so I'm not sure if its just a fluke or if there are any strategies to taking a test on a computer vs a tablet I can employ. Also I am PTing in the low 170s and I generally miss 1 LR in one section and 3 in the other and so forth, so I am nervous about the LSAC only giving one LR section and doubling that score as it could either really help or hurt me.

Honestly any insight into the flex format and helpful strategies would be greatly appreciated!

Hey,

So I started studying and using the LSAT Prep Plus interface to take practice exams before subscribing to 7sage. Is it possible to import my test results from my completed practice exams into the 7sage interface to take advantage of the Grader for scoring and tracking?

Thanks

Hello All!

I am considering applying for accommodations based on severe panic attacks that I often get while testing (in addition to other situations). I have a few questions regarding the requirements:

Question 1: Do I need an official diagnosis?

My primary doctor has been treating my condition. She understands that I have General Anxiety and panic attacks, but she has never given me an official diagnosis. Instead, she just keeps refilling/monitoring my two prescriptions—one for the general anxiety and one for the acute panic attacks.

Do you think that I could get accommodations without a diagnosis based on a letter from my primary doctor supporting my request? Or, is an official diagnosis necessary?

If it helps, I also have a therapist who has been treating me and she has agreed to write a letter on my behalf.

Question 2: Is a diagnosis from a Psychiatrist better than a diagnosis from a Psychologist?

If I do end up needing an official diagnosis, does it matter whether I have one from a Psychologist VS a Psychiatrist? Do you think that either of them might be seen as more authoritative?

Thank you all in advance for any input!

Hi! Is there a way to print the logic games section from tests I've taken?

I want to redo them?

Trying to delete post.

I used to be able to find individual PTs to buy, but now I can't find the page. Could just be my fault.

Hello, I am about 2 weeks into studying for my October LSAT. I have been studying 5-6 hours a day and about 8 on weekends. My diagnostic score was a 150 about 2 or 3 months ago and I hope to raise my score to a 165. I am writing in here to ask a few questions about this whole experience.

Do I have enough time to raise the 15 points?

How long will it take me to finish the Core Curriculum at the rate that I am studying?

How long should I be doing PTs before my October LSAT date?

I figured maybe 2 months of 5 LSATs a week, (with blind review, obviously) but I’m not sure if that’s overkill or if I should spend more time focusing on the Core Curriculum and my notes from it.

Thank you all and best of luck.

This was a very useful drill that I did everyday to warm up and I can't find it anymore. It was a long list of fruits that you hook up using conditional statements. Any help finding which section it is in would be appreciated.

Hi there!

I was scheduled to take the July Flex test, but after careful consideration, I decided to move it back to August. I have been studying since beginning of April (gone through the power score books and Khan Academy), however, I just recently discovered 7sage and have only gone through about 15% of the CC. My last 3 PT's I have scored 159. My goal is to consistently score between 161-163.

I am very close to having mastered LG and usually get -1 to -5. RC is usually around -6 to -9 and LR -6 to -9 as well.

I am feeling a bit defeated already with changing the date, but I do believe I can achieve my desired score with 2 more months of solid prep (with a little bit of help!).

Thank you!!

I have taken PT 81,68,80, 66 & 79. Are there any recommendations which ones I should include these last few weeks? I generally take one every other day. Thanks - (I'll cross post this)

159 --> 178. Still in shock, but I know I have a debt to pay J.Y. and the rest of the 7Sage Staff!

Hey 7Sagers!

It's time for another photo contest. This time we're looking for great student-submitted pictures for our website. Here's some examples of past photos that we've accepted:

We're not looking for the exact same type of pictures shown above, those are just examples of what we've had in the past. Think outside the box! We love that stuff.

Here are the details:

Need some ideas to get you going?

#Deadline is June 30th 2020.

I found this article insightful as I am sure, at sometime during our prep, we will absolutely hit a plateau. Enjoy.

I've read so many horror stories about bad proctors on ProctorU from people who've already sat for the May and June flex tests. How do I go into the July flex with a positive attitude without feeling like the system is dooming us from the get-go?

Is anyone else nervous about this? If so, what have you been doing to help your nerves? If anyone has had a positive experience with ProctorU, I'd really appreciate it if you could share it here!

I have just taken the June test and scored a 167 - I plan to take the test in August and my goal is to score 170 or better. If you are in a similar situation or have been in my shoes, what would your study plan look like? How many PTs per week should I shoot for, and how much time should I spend drilling materials/LG etc.? I plan to spend a lot of time foolproofing games as that is the largest variable in my score (on PTs I have been anywhere from -1 to -8) as well as going through the Loophole strategy. Thank you for any advice!!!

Hey guys,

With all these major success stories being posted (congrats to you all, you're an inspiration for the rest of us), i would love to hear from anybody a little bit further along in their LSAT/7 sage journey. My question is about how many pts with rigorous BR did it take for you to start noticing improvement?

a few details: i've finished cc. my diagnostic was 148 2 years ago and just took my first 3 pts within 2 weeks, all 158,159, and 157 (mentally struggled on this one). these were pt 40, 41, and 42 btw. each section is actually pretty even in terms of stats (-7 LR, -8 RC, -5LR, -9 LG). i am about to start fool-proofing LG in conjunction with ~2 pts/week. trying to take August 29 and planning for October 3 too, as i would like to apply this cycle.

my BR strategy is pretty intensive. i quite literally retake the entire test and reconvince myself of every answer, and on questions that are not immediately obvious I convince myself of why every other answer choice is not correct. as a result my BR score is pretty high (173, 175, 171) for where i'm at in studying. It does take me about 2 days to do this fully.

My reason for posing this question is I want to know that i'm not wasting time with the extensive BR that i'm doing. i am putting a lot into studying for this thing - it's a labor of love, really. but i only have so much time before these exams and i want to be doing the most effective strategies possible. is the extremely extensive BR strategy worth it? or should i just be devoting more time to LG foolproofing upfront instead? i don't know how long fool-proofing will take (i was a math major in college and i can solve the entire section almost flawlessly in BR) but i'm hoping it will only be a couple of weeks so i can continue to focus on BR.

Would love to hear anecdotal advice, critiques on strategy, really anything for how you guys saw your scores increase over time!

Thank you in advance!

I just finished the core curriculum. I am taking the actual October. How many should I take a week until then? Where should I start, should it be more recent tests or should I start along somewhere in the PT50s?

I will be taking the FLEX using a desktop computer that has a camera, and was wondering if anyone has experience with how to make this work with the flex requirement to show around your testing area (really would not be easy to pick up the entire monitor and show under my desk lol). Does anyone know if I could get another detachable camera to use? Or if I would be able to get a mirror and angle it to show my surroundings?

Hi all,

I'm a recent student of 7sage and must say I'm loving the content! The information in the first 2 weeks are very detailed, granted it can seem dull, but I understand the approach. It might be just my years as a philosophy student that makes me see the overview as overkill, but, I do understand this may be completely foreign to some people, and quite necessary.

Anyway! My question is, since this is the first time I'm studying for the LSAT (highly nervous), I think I overshot with the prep materials I purchased. Before I came across 7sage, I purchased all the Powerscore bibles. I started reading the LR bible last week, but I found it a bit too detailed and convoluted. I seemed to be more confused after reading the first 2 chapters, and doing their practice drills, than if I didn't read the chapters. Not sure anyone else felt that way?

But for those of you who have purchased the trilogies in addition to taking the 7sage course, do you feel it's a necessary support to your study prep? Trying to figure out if I should even bother keeping the books.

I'm struggling internally with not reading every single prep material that is considered the "holy grail" of LSAT studying. I feel like if I don't include it into my study schedule, it'll be reflected in my score. What do you all think? Is it necessary to have those bibles?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks :)
