I just discovered the blog and it seems to have tons of interesting articles.
But I find that it has a really annoying layout. It would be nice if you can see the article titles all at once instead of having to scroll through every article page after page, or even to filter articles by category.
I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this, or if there are any plans to organize it?
I'm about 90% done the Ultimate course and decided to do a PT yesterday because I was getting tired of watching videos and doing practice sets, and I can't believe I got 177 as an actual score!! Didn't change any answers for the blind review so the score is the same. It was for Prep Test #36 which is the first one I've done since starting the course 2 months ago.
Before starting the course, I got 163 on the June 2007 test and then 164 on PT54 so I feel like it's a huge improvement! Granted I've done some studying in the past (2 months in 2017) so I wasn't taking the previous PTs blind.
Still in shock because I felt like there were so many hard questions that I wasn't sure about but this is such a huge confidence boost, so I wanted to share my happiness and encourage everyone to get the course if you haven't already. Happy studying!!
I’ve been averaging a 164/165 recently and I’ve taken around 16 PT’s. How often should I balance drilling/taking pt’s for the october LSAT?
How did the proctors start everyone at the same time with the Digital LSAT? Also, did you find it easy to use the stylus on the tablet for highlighting sentences?
Hi everyone.
I am needing some advice on how to improve reading comp. To give you an idea of where I am in my prep, here is the breakdown of my last PT:
LR: -4
LR: -6
LG: -3
RC: -12
It's pretty clear to me where I need to be focusing most of my energy. I have another full year before I am going to take the test (if I need to stretch my test date out). I have also gone through the curriculum trying to employ JY's memory method and drilling older PT RC sections, and the LSAT trainer's "reading for reasoning structure" method. Additionally, most of the time I am rushing to finish the last passage. No strategy or drilling has resulted in a significant jump thus far.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to give me any advice on this section. It really has discouraged me, since employing the blind review method and drills have immensely helped my LR score, and fool-proofing is of course the component behind my LG score. I just feel helpless when it comes to making a significant improvement in RC, but there has to be some main strategy to address the section with.
The LSAT question bank is no longer showing up under "Resources" on the website or mobile app. Is this no longer going to be a function on 7Sage? I found it really helpful to sort by question type and difficulty. Instead I only see "LSAT Explanations" which... I think is new, but not sure.
Thanks all!
I've taken 16 PTS so far with an average score of 164. I started out with a diagnostic of 159, and have managed to pretty consistently score in the mid-160 range. However, one practice test I took (PT48) I scored a 172 and that has been my highest score to date. On logical reasoning, on average I'm missing 4 questions, on logic games 6 questions, and on reading comprehension 5 questions. I'm unclear as to my best plan of action for the next couple weeks leading up to the September LSAT. Should I focus on logic games, getting that to a minus 0 before focusing on the other sections? Or should I continue to PT once/twice a week while drilling (mainly logic games) in between?
Even just for superficial reasons - to make the problems look more like the real format? What about explanations where JY uses only the tools available on the tablet (underline, 3 highlight colors)?
I have been using the 7sage iOS app for quite some time, however when I went to check the grader section it automatically makes the app crash. I tried to delete and re-downlod the app and the same issue persists. Everything else except the grader works. I am confused as I was using the grader function just fine up until yesterday. Has anyone else experienced this same issue and/or know why this is the case?
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....

Hi everyone,
On Wednesday, August 7, at 9:00 PM ET, I'll host a webinar with our own Brigitte Suhr, a former admissions reader at The University of Virginia Law School. We'll discuss what Brigitte did, when she gave a file with low numbers extra consideration, and how the files she saw could have been stronger. You’ll get a chance to ask your questions at the end.
:warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.
:cookie: After the webinar, we’ll award one attendee a free Edit Once (see https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/enroll).

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
Example: "earnings is directly proportional to hours worked"
How would you represent this in Lawgic?
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.
I was wondering who I should contact regarding a refund for a course I recently purchased. Is there a particular email address?
#HELP
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.
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.
Planning to write in Novemeber, anyone else?
