Is it a glitch that the timer stops until you press "okay" for the 5 min left... I looked down for a few minutes to do game board preps. When I looked up it said that there was 5 minutes left and the timer stopped. Is this a glitch? Or is this going to be how it is on the actual LSAT? Bc... if thats the case, then you could theoretically get more than 35 minutes on the LSAT....

    Hey everyone,

    I was in one of the test centers that got cancelled on July 15 and finally took my LSAT today. I’m planning to sit for the September exam as well. How long of a break should I take before I begin studying again?

    Hi everyone :)

    I'm trying to annotate my 7sage PDF downloads on a Samsung tablet, but not having much luck. I've tried uploading the pdfs to Adobe, OneNote, Squid, and several others. After entering my pw, I am able to view the pdf, but when I attempt to edit I get a message along the lines of "tool not available because the doc is password protected". Has anyone else found a remedy to this problem? Do not want to print out all the worksheets, and want to get comfortable working digitally.

    Thanks,

    CS

    I'm sitting the September LSAT (it's my second time), and I'm weighing how much time off to take from work. I have 12 days of PTO left for the year, so I was thinking of taking the full two weeks at the end of August to hammer out a bunch of PTs/BR/drills, etc. I'd love to hear from anyone who has used a significant chunk of your vacation time/PTO to study and whether you felt it was worthwhile.

    Hi everyone, I have now taken 3 practice tests on Khan Academy and I find it really hard to stare at the screen for so long with such a short break. My eyes start to hurt and it becomes really hard to focus after about an hour. I have been taking those rather than printing out the old ones because I want to get used to taking it digitally. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to release the tension while I'm taking the test? The 15 minute break helps but as soon as I go back to the screen my head starts hurting again.

    Increase

    I was wondering if I register for October and November will I be able to see an increase? since they're less than a month apart?

    Hi everyone! Thanks in advance for reading. The discussion title pretty much says it all. I'm following 7sage's Study Schedule for the September test and I've fallen almost 2 weeks behind. Not good. Should I continue and push through and really increase my studying where I can? Or should I just pick certain lessons and start doing more frequent PTs?

    Thank you!!

    Hi! I took the June 5th test and got a 159, I was averaging around a 163. My testing center was horrible and the proctors were talking next to me during my test. As I left the test I knew I had to retake no matter what.

    I signed up for the July 15th test but I took a 3 week break and then couldnt get back up to my regular above 160 scores. So I withdrew and didnt take the test. The fact that I couldnt bring my score back up made me think that I have to review foundational information.

    I want to take the test again, and think that I need about a month and a half rest. The course I was using before was really intensive and burnt me out. That being said, I also work full-time and would like to get a 165 or above if I retake. I think i have an OK foundational knowledge but would want to revisit material.

    How do I know which test to aim for and which 7sage package to use? Should I combine this with any of the Power Score bibles?

    How long does it take to get through 7sage’s lessons/course material? Is it written or in videos? Because if its in text I’ll have more opportunities to read the material, on the way to work and etc.

    I’d like to apply to law school this year and am willing to take a 2 month break from work if that means I could take the October test. Thank you very much!

    How many games did you all foolproof and over what span of time?

    Also, how many games do you foolproof a day? For me, I'm currently fool proofing 3-4 games a day.

    Hello there,

    I'm wondering if anyone has any splitter success stories relative to Canadian law schools? Information on this subject is pretty scarce and so far, the information I have been able to find is more than a decade old (2007). I know that US law schools are more receptive to admitting splitters than are Canadian law schools, and maybe I'll end up going to a really good school in the states, but if anyone can provide me with any insight re: this side of the pond, that would be great!

    Hello 7Sagers, I took the digital July exam and am anticipating having to retake in Sept. I am going to only do PTs in the digital version this time, as I feel it made a pretty significant difference in my test performance. I do not see the option to take the test in Digital for PTs for which I've already uploaded the PT BR answers. Is there a way to erase/wipe out my BR uploads so I can retake the exam in Digital?

    Thank you~

    I use 7Sage, completed core curriculum (CC) a while ago and went back to review all of the logic material and I'm currently foolproofing games in the bundle (I've done PTs 1-20 so far, but have since taken a break from them when I began taking PTs). I have taken 3 PTs (June 2007 for the second time after 10 months, PT 69 and PT 73).

    My goal score is 10-15 points (165+) higher than my actual scores and my blind review scores have been up to10 points less than my goal score (154-163). For each exam, my BR score for was at least 10 points higher than the actual PT score. I have also run out of time for almost every LR section and every LG section in these PTs.

    Timing is certainly an issue for me and my BR average is not near my target score. Not sure how useful LSAT Analytics will be to me with only ~3PTs (2 Fresh PTs) so if I should take more PTs, what would be a good amount to take to assess true weaknesses? Timing is obviously a weakness but how much does that matter now--is that a problem to be addressed later or right now?What would be the best course of action? I'm looking to hear from people who have been or are in a similar situation so I can try out a few things to see what might work for me.

    Who kept PTing and started seeing results? Who kept PTing continued to not see results, changed game plan and started seeing results? What was that change?

    Things I've noticed:

    Pretty much averaging -10 on each section from each of these PTs.

  • Accuracy is getting better in LG (-0 in Blind Review) but running out of time during timed PTs so I end up guessing on the last game if I don't get to it or the game I skipped and returned to
  • RC is a weakness--even after returning to the entire section untimed in blind review I am not seeing a significant improvement
  • I have LR specific question type weaknesses and running out of time at the end of timed PTs
  • I plan on taking the exam in September and want to construct a game plan going into August so that I can be comfortably PTing in September with BR scores (hopefully) well above my goal score.

    Long post, I know, but seriously seeking advice because PT scores are making me sad...

    TL;DR: I'm basically asking the same question but I have not yet done or tried any LR or RC untimed: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/13780

    Probably more like flawed thinking but I don't get Test 63 S3 Q6 (bus drivers). The correct answer is D but I can think of a scenario where the assumption is not true but the conclusion would still hold. It doesn't seem to me that D is a better choice than C and neither of those choices seem to me to be required. Does anyone else question this one?

    I'm about 25% through the core curriculum. I don't recall from the CC if I should be timing myself at this point. However, many people are commenting on the problem sets what their time was.

    Should I be timing myself on the problem sets? If not, then when?

    Hi, I just started with 7Sage and got through all of the "Blind Review" explanation videos. I'm a bit confused because in the videos and texts underneath JY only references the Logical Reasoning section but no others. We're supposed to do blind reviews for all sections, correct? Just want to clarify!

    Thanks!

    Hello, I am currently registered for the September 2019 LSAT and was wondering which course would be recommended. I took the Sept. 2018 LSAT and scored a 164, and am currently testing in the mid to high 160s. However, I am trying to lock in a score above 170. Do you guys recommend one course over the other or anything specific that I should be doing to get my score into that range? Appreciate any help in can get.

    Apologies if this has been answered previously - if so, please feel free to smack me around and direct me to the correct thread!

    Is there a way to launch 7sage's digital test taking simulator to re-take sections for PTs I've previously completed (ie, to foolproof previously completed games)? I know I can print them out, but I'd much rather foolproof via the digital tool; I'm also trying to avoid just deleting all of my analytics.

    Thanks!
