Anyone Else Read This?

I remember the first time I read through this article I couldn't stop thinking about it. Started reading through it almost every night at some point. I got in the habit of writing down “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast”, in my notes over and over. Definitely recommend checking out this guys journey, thoughts?

Also, I found the Logic Games portion he covered the most interesting. Just imagine the advantage you'd have on the lsat flex if you could consistently ace every logic games section during a point in your prep and then be able test in the comfort of your own home.

I don't know if this is possible, or something others have requested in the past (I didn't see any previous requests for it), but I would love to have my settings from my previous quiz saved when I move on to the next one. Or even if there was just an option to "Use Presets" from before so I could activate them in one click — that would be simply magical.

Here are the settings I'm referring to, if you're not familiar:

Ideally, I'd like to be able to automatically activate fullscreen mode (1 click), coffee shop background noise (2 more clicks), select a highlighter (1 more click), and set the font size to "small" (2 more clicks). For those of you counting along, that's 6 clicks for each quiz, before starting the quiz. That can get to be a lot if you're doing 15 quizzes in a row (lookin' at you, Weaken Questions section...).

Obviously, this isn't a "required" feature — just something that would be nice to have. I don't know if there's anywhere to "officially" request features aside from the "Contact Us" option, but I thought I'd see if anyone else thought this might be useful.

What do you think? Would this be helpful for you, or am I alone in this desire?

Hi all,

I need some help on my study schedule. I've taken 4 PT's so far and despite foolproofing all LG problem sets and drills in the CC, I've only been able to score - 6 on my last PT (my best LG score). I have recently started to drill the clean games from PT 1 - 16, and I have yet to reach a level of consistency, meaning I typically score in the - 0 to - 2 band within the allocated time, but for example I got a - 4 today on a fresh game which was quite disheartening.

I still have some work to do in LR and a lot more in RC. I don't feel that focusing exclusively on LG for more than a few days is necessary, as I feel like I can improve by foolproofing throughout the week along with LR/RC specific work. But I'm not sure if this will be beneficial to do as I see many people on the threads focusing exclusively on LG for a much longer period of time. Additionally I feel like I really need to be taking more PT's at this point.

Also I'm planning on taking the June LSAT, but I have a little more time since I will be taking it in Europe on 25th of June, if the current situation allows.

So in short, do you guys recommend that I focus on LG first before serious PT'ing or is it ok to instead focus on my weaknesses in other sections as well along with regular PT'ing?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi everyone!

I am gearing up to take the May LSAT Flex and want to get as many games/general practice in as I can, especially from more recent tests. I don't have access to PrepTests beyond 72 on 7sage, but do have access to the full Preptest 73 through LSAC. I will take this one as a timed practice test. I also purchased the print version of Preptests 72-81. Since the test is three weeks away, I won't have time to do all these practice tests as full timed exams, and would like to use at least three or four of them as section practice with material I haven't seen before. With all that context established:

What are some of the hardest games (and LR sections, if any come to mind) in these tests (74-81) that you have encountered? I'd love to focus my time on these as the date comes up. It's really helpful to see new games variations/different language. Also, if anyone has last-minute tips/de-stressors to help with performance anxiety, I would love to hear them. Thank you!

7sage Course Question

Hey everyone, so I'm working my way through the course so far, and I was just wondering if its recommended to do the problems before JY goes through his approach and ultimately answers the question? Or should I just sit back and look at how he approaches and handles the questions?

A Little Contradicted

So the registration for the June LSAT closes tomorrow night and I was wondering if I could get some quick insight from this amazing community. I would feel comfortable taking the June Flex-LSAT as of right now but I would feel even better waiting for July. I understand that score cumulation is of no issue and I figured, might as well get one under my belt because I will be participating in either the June/August or the July/August dates, or maybe even all three if I'm feeling hardcore. The thing that worries me is the LSAT Flex, I've heard horror stories relating to the recently implemented tablet LSAT, so I think it might be wise to sit back and observe the experiences of students who will have taken the Flex this month before deciding which date to pursue. Who else in this bizarre situation?

Finally, I want to be able to participate in the Flex at least once and my friend who is a full time healthcare worker (Works E.R.) says there's very little possibility the test will be administered normally in July for my state.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

After having gone through most of the 7sage curriculum, I was wondering about the general difficulty of the LSAT compared to 7Sage. In 7Sage, the question/pssg difficulty ranges from 1-5. In general, do the actual LSAT questions then tend to range around a median of 2.5/5 difficulty with some low, some high, and some in the middle? Or is the difficulty more variable from test to test. In other words, if you were to add up and average all of the difficulties of questions on any given LSAT, would they usually hover around 2.5 like a normal distribution?

UPGRADE

Hi everyone! I did my free trial and I really liked it. Considering purchasing monthly ultimate+ and I am not sure what is this bundle plus? Can anyone advise if I need to check that box or not? Do I need to buy it in order to get the materials from ultimate+? Thank you in advance.

Two months ago, I announced that we're collaborating with law professors around the country to develop new courses that will explain the subjects you'll take as a first-year law student.

Although we're still adding new content at a rapid rate, we're opening enrollment to our Property Law Explained course for one week, from Monday, April 20 to Sunday, April 27 at a discounted price of $19.99.

The course is still in progress. We’ve already completed over a dozen video lessons and over six hours of audio lessons, and we’re working around the clock to add more. New lessons will automatically appear in your course as we finish them. We expect to complete the entire course in July or August.

Here are the two reasons that we're opening enrollment early:

  • We want to know if we're wasting our resources. Over the last several months, we've placed a huge amount of time, effort, and money into these lessons. We think they're great, but that doesn't matter unless you think they're great, and I mean great as in "shut up and take my money" great. Otherwise, we're just burning resources that we could use to develop something you actually want.
  • Selling the course now at a heavily discounted price will make it more affordable to more students.
  • I know a lot of you might not be ready to divert your attention from the LSAT, so rolled into this launch is an extra-long access time of 24 months. This way, you can be reasonably sure that you’ll still get to use the course when you’re ready for it, and that it will be complete by the time you do.

    Recap:

  • Early-bird access to Property Law Explained
  • On sale from Monday, April 20 to Sunday, April 27 for $19.99
  • 24-months of access
  • [**Enroll here**](https://classic.7sage.com/lawschool/pricing/)

    After April 27, enrollment will be closed until we complete more content.

    I know this isn't quite the right category, but there doesn't seem to be one for feature requests.

    Per LSAC's announcement, the interface for the May LSAT-Flex will be very similar to the one used in the LawHub. 7Sage has some awesome features and things like a better font with more visible text and more effective highlighting than LawHub, but those would differ from the test-day experience.

    Is it possible to add a "locked down" mode to 7Sage's interface that simulates LawHub and the test-day experience? That would include things like no dark theme, no full screen mode, LawHub's font and line height, no collapsing answers, full passage view mode, no line numbers, etc.

    I'd just take full PTs in LawHub, but the section ordering is wrong and there's no easy way to track timing there. I'd imagine updating the 7Sage interface would mostly just require CSS changes and a toggle button so hopefully this wouldn't be much work.

    Thanks!

    I used to buy preptests to extend my acc, can I not do this anymore? I couldn't find the buy preptest section on mobile version of the site...if I can still do this, can someone link me the page to buy the individual preptests? Thanks.

    I know in the core curriculum, it's pretty heavily emphasised that you should do the logical reasoning curricula before moving on, but I have my LR scores in an okay place, whereas my logic games is consistently the weakest part of my scores. So I think it makes the most sense for me to jump in with Logic Games to get myself to the same level as I perform with LR, but would this be a mistake? Will I spend a lot more time than necessary on LG material without the LR core?

    For context, on the Feb. 1997 prep-test I scored 18/25 on both LR sections, and 8/24 on LG. So I can stand to review LR obviously, but I want to start with what I have to improve the most on.

    Hey guys!

    I was really upset yesterday because I could not understand the 9 valid and 7 invalid argument forms. For everyone else having trouble, taking a break and coming back to it the next day really helps! Sometimes you just need to give yourself a break. Anyways, I started to do practice problems with the chains. If I know how to work the chains do I need to memorize all of the forms?

    Any help would be appreciated :)

    I started doing PTs a week ago and plan to take 4 a week (from 36 to 89) while doing some additional drilling the days I don't do PTs. This would be quite tight to make it before the July date (13th) and with COVID I do not know what the status of that is. Do people think it will be a FLEX or a regular LSAT by then?

    Additionally, the August date (29th) is quite far out and I would run out of PTs too soon before the exam. I am at a decent score but think that I could get better. I also saw there is no september date so if I have to cancel for some reason I won't have scores to start applications early.

    Would you recommend taking the July and trying to cram as many PTs as I can? (won't have any clean tests if I do end up cancelling this score)? Or slowing down to make it until August?

    Update: All books have been claimed!

    Hi 7sagers

    I'm heading off to law school this fall! I wanted to thank the 7Sage community for being a part of my journey. Like most people, I discovered 7Sage through the (formerly) free LG videos. I found JY and this community extremely helpful and I hit my target score of 165. I took my very first LSAT in Nov 2018 with only using books and the free videos as prep and got a 161.

    I could only afford a Starter course, but I felt that this community was extremely helpful and helped me make the most of the resources that I had. So I'd like to pay it forward by giving away my books to another 7Sager with a Starter account and/or LSAC need based fee waiver.

    These are all the books I have:

    Powerscore Bibles (LR, LG, RC)

    Powerscore Training (LR, RC)

    LSAC Superprep

    LSAC Vol 4 (PT 52-61)

    LSAC Vol 5 x2 (PT 62-71; I have 2 because a friend gave me one after she changed her mind about law school)

    LSAC Vol 6 (PT 72-81)

    Please message me if interested.

    Thanks!

    Just had an idea for the best group to do this contact tracing that is going to be needed for upcoming covid19 fight.... law students. You need lots of people who are bright, can handle lots of details and keep everything straight, are hardworking, and most of all understand, value, and respect confidentiality and privacy.. There are 100,000 law students and they could form teams where they are at, take a sabbatical from school, maybe make some money, and save civilization.

    Given that there will be different sign up times for the May Lsat-flex I'm assuming that means there will be diffrent versions for the exam so that nothing gets leaked? Depending on the time you sign up for will probably determine the version you get...with that being said I feel like it could be luck of the draw with games..

    Is it advisable to make a light hearted joke at the beginning of a personal statement? Something that draws the reader in and plays a part in the picture I'm trying to paint. I'm just not sure if it's advisable or not, but if anyone can chime in their two cents it would be appreciated.

    This is the sentence for context: I vividly remember May 24th, 2014, partially because it was my mother’s birthday and I knew she wouldn’t let me live it down if I forgot it two years in a row, but mainly because it was the last day to submit courses....

    I finished the CC and I have been getting lower PTs than before I even started LGs. I was getting -3s on the LR sections of the PTs but now that I have finished CC, I've been getting -12 on LR sections! It's like I forgot everything I learned..taking June test so I don't have too much time. Any advice on how to get my LR score back up?
