I have 7 more classess before I complete undergrad. Do you think it's okay to submit an official transcript to LSAC now or should I wait? Thank you for your assistance.

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.

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!

Hey all, I am wondering if anyone has any great resources for the essays. Trying to identify what they are about and what admissions councils will be looking for. Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to access all my starred questions together, instead of clicking into each practice exam? Was marking questions up while going through the core curriculum and I wonder if there is a quick way to access all of them besides the LSAT explanations page. Thank you!

So ive been studying for the lsat for two month (not seriously) but i took a three week break of studying BIG MISTAKE! i was scoring 14-15 per LR and other sections around that as well or maybe more. But i decided to get back to studying and actually take it seriously so yesterday i did my a section of Logic Reasoning and I got A FREAKIN 9 i also took another one today also got a 9 which is what i first got the first time i ever did an lsat. i cant understand why my score decreased so much i feel so unmotivated and shit about it. like it doesnt make sense at all like what the MY NEW SCORE IS TELLING MY IS THAT I LOST ALL THE KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION AND HOURS OF STUDYING BC I TOOK A BREAK. (sorry for the lack of punctuation). has the happened to anyone before? also any tips? im screaming

I am looking for study advice. I just graduated from University with a quite a high GPA and am looking for a goal score of 168+

I started the core curriculum on June 5th ish. I have been studying since then, for about 3-5 hours every single day. I didnt take a cold diagnostic, I took the june 2007 free test after finishing the core curriculum, scoring a 156.

Since then, I have taken 3 practice tests, all under strict timed conditions. I scored 162 on the PT 36. I scored 163 on PT 52. And a 165 on PT 38. So in total, I have been studying for close to two months. I am wondering where to go from here. I am planning on taking the October Test, but am willing to wait a full year and study full time and take the test in 2020 if it means I can possibly get a higher score.

3 main questions:

Should I increase my studying time? I can do 5-6 consistently every day. It seems that 3-5 has been working well but I can definitley increase it.

How should I really study? Currently Im just doing 2 timed sections a day plus BR. Or sometimes Ill do a full PT worth of sections in a day then review it the next day. Sometimes, and I know this is bad, ill just do random stuff... I also try to do as much LG as possible, since Ive only finished the games from 1-10 plus whatever Practice tests ive done.

Lastly, is a 170 possible within 3 months? Im not familiar with score increases. Assuming im about a 160-163 right now,can I go 7-10 points in 3 months? Or should I prolong the test to next year?

I don't understand how the July 15 takers are supposed to get a free retake in September if the cancel options is not available yet and we cant see our scores until the 28th of August to see if we want to keep or cancel? Am I missing something? Can anyone please clarify?

Hello all,

I just signed up for 7Sage ultimate a few days ago. I've been studying for about 8-9 weeks now for the LSAT and have improved from my diagnostic of 140 to a 164 average. I noticed when signing up that there are study guides. I am taking the October LSAT and signed up for the study guide for October. Should I complete all of the core curriculum and should I finish the core curriculum before starting PT's?

Does anyone know if there exist or will exist a live commentary of a digital LSAT practice exam?

Hi everyone,

The July test is my first LSAT test. I’m debating over whether I should registered the September test or should I waited to just take the October test with a canceled score for my July test ( I don’t think I will be happy with my July score and more than likely I need to retake anyways). Giving the consideration that the September test is less 10 weeks from now, would it be a wiser choice for me to just wait for the release of July score, then canceled. Or is it better for me to go head and take the September test and hoping I don’t need to take the October test?

I’m currently scoring between 155 to 160 range and is hoping to apply for this coming application season.

Thanks for all your help!

What is the best approach to doing logic games during blind review?

When I started PTs I was doing foolproof drills (isolating each game to work on getting it under target time and then checking for accuracy until target time is reached or under target time and game is at 100% accuracy). In other words, I'm checking for both time and accuracy (so I basically foolproof them until I have the correct Acs and enter an LG Blind Review score of -0). However, I'm wondering if that is not okay and/or does not make for an accurate representation of my blind review score and/or my strengths/weaknesses in LG.

Would it be better to:

A) Aim for accuracy: do the entire section untimed and enter blind review answer choices (without checking for correct answers until after blind review score is shown)

B) Aim for target time/under target time: isolate each game, look up the target time for each game via 7Sage and do the game until it is on or under target time and enter blind review answer choices (without checking for correct answers until after blind review score is shown)

C) Do what I already do?

I am trying to get an accurate representation of my blind review score but that could mean - 0 or - X amount depending on what method I choose. I also want to get the most out of my blind reviews of my PTd LGs.

Hey everyone this probably one of the most repetitive questions you all might see on the fourm.

So I finished CC probably in February (a year before I had run through it once but never really PTd) and I started to just practice some problem sets and RC passages and had to take a break for about a month due to finishing up my courses. My goal and what I need is between a 161-165.

I just need someone to help me organize a study schedule and advise me on how to study as I do find 7sage daunting but helpful!

Is it just me, but is the October 2019 test have VERY FEW locations? I went from having a testing cite 4 miles away from me for June/September, to that site not being open anymore and the closest cite being 20 miles away.

So I completed the LSAT Trainer on my own and thought, maybe I should do 7sage since it gets all these great reviews and it seemed like a great investment. But I found out that I can get all the LG videos for free and I can still use other aspects of the website without having to spend a dime...my question is it worth going through 7Sage curriculum if I've completed the LSAT Trainer since so far it seems very similar as it is in fact the same guy who wrote the book (JY).

Hope this doesn't offend anyone, I just honestly didn't realize there would be a similarity in the course and to anyone that's done both I was wondering if I maybe made a mistake? Thanks!

Edit: Alright Thanks for all the responses I will take it into consideration I have 2 weeks left before refund runs out. Thanks again!

How many PTs did you take to reach a score you were happy with?

And if you don’t mind sharing, what was your diagnostic score, your goal score, and how long did you study to achieve that score?

I took the July LSAT there, and the proctor's unprofessionalism ruined my entire test experience (I registered at a different test center, but was somehow reassigned to Sonesta). Let me recapitulate what happended during the test day. I took the paper based test in July.

Before I entered the test room, I had everything inspected by the proctor. Nothing was wrong, she let me in, and I finished the first three section undisturbed. However, after the break and shortly before the start of the fourth section, the proctor approached me with a gold ticket, saying that I had violated the test policy by having a eraser with a sleeve. I was so confused and angry, and had a hard time focusing on the rest two sections. Of course I had the eraser inspected by her before I entered the room, and it is pointless to consciously hide a eraser with a sleeve (like, what can I even do with it?). So afterwards, I approached the proctor, and asked her what is going to happen next. She said do not know, because she is just a contractor, and I need to contact LSAT. This is just ridiculous.

I know someone is going to say that I should learn to read if I want to be a good lawyer, and I completely agree. But I think the main issue here is that the proctor is confused and inconsistent with the rules. She ruined my entire test by not understanding what she is supposed to do. I also don't get her motive, like is she trying to show that she is a professional and dedicated employee? I just don't get it.

Also, she forgot to instruct us to copy the certifying statement before collecting our admission ticket. Luckily someone pointed out her mistake, and we wasted another ten minutes for her to hand back the admission ticket before the test start.

I just took my first practice test two days ago and my score was significantly lower than when I take timed sections. Even the first section was low comparatively.

What I mean by this is: timed LR section I've been around -3. But on my PT I was just about -6 on each section. Just curious if this score discrepancy occurs for others as well? If so, does it mean anything? tests I used for sections and prep tests were 48 and 51, respectively.
