By this I mean: how do you tackle each section, under time constraints?

For example, in LR I will skip a question that will take up half the page because it will just suck my time.

For RC, I will tackle the subjects I am more familiar with or have an easier time understanding (econ, science).

For LG, I will sometimes skip the last quesiton in the section, depending on how much time I think it will take. I also bounce around in each game, depending on the game and what I see.

Does anyone else have anything to help with the time constraints? I am just beginning to time myself now that I have finished "learning".

Hi, I’ve been studying for the LSAT for 1.5 months now. I finished all three PowerScore Bibles and just started going through Fox’s LR Encyclopedia that drills LR in PTs 40-60 (haven’t even gone through half of this book yet, his explanations are bad). I’ve also been trying to foolproof LG, but I’ve only done about 10 so far and have noticed some improvement; I believe more improvement will come with time as I go through more foolproofing.

I have PTs 19-72. My diagnostic score was 143 on PT 19. After 1.5 months of doing the above, my score on PT 63 was 148 with a BR score of 158.

I initially wanted to take the LSAT in September and October to apply for this upcoming cycle, but I feel that postponing it would benefit me more. I’m willing to take a gap year and work full time as I will be graduating from undergrad in December. I’m aiming for a 170+ and will probably take the LSAT sometime in early 2020.

My question is, which 7Sage package should I get?

I plan to study 4-5 hours per day almost every day of the week and more on weekends as I’m working full time now.

What PTs would be left over/fresh to use after completing the course?

Also, how long would it take to go through the course curriculum? I plan to spend the time after the course for PTs.

One concern I have is that if I get a certain package, what if the video explanations or drills are useless to me because I’ve already been exposed to those materials from my previous study in PowerScore and Fox’s Encyclopedia (PTs 40-60, but again I have barely gone through this).

Hey,

I started my prep with 7sage ultimate + around May 15th. I was initially planning on taking my first attempt in September but now after finishing CC and 2 weeks of drilling I've taken 2 PTs scoring 157 in one (171 BR) and 156 in the other (164 BR). My goal is to get a 170. I don't know if its normal to start the first few PTs with such a low score and then jump up. Looking for any advice as to how many PTs I should be taking each week (was thinking of doing 2) and any other advice would be appreciated!

Hi guys, wondering if anyone with really good time management strats can reach out to me. I am consistently PTing in the mid to low 160s but I go over the time limit on at least one or two sections and I need to really cut this down. I am writing July but will most likely have to write October unless the lsat gods themselves bless me on the 15th and I walk out with a 160+ under time constraints.

Any help is amazing!

Hi, I just recently purchased the 7sage ultimate. I have been studying for about a month now, with somewhere around 25 hours a week. I took my first Practice Test with the June 2007 diagnostic and got -28, which is a 156. Granted, this isnt a cold diagnostic as I finished most of the CC, just not all of the Problem Sets.

I got -6 on the LG, only doing 2 questions on the last game.

-17 in total on the two LR sections and -5 on the RC.

Being brutally honest, is it possible to get to a 170 by the October test date? 25 hours a week was pretty low commitment and I can do somewhere between 5-6 hours a day 7 days a week no problem.

What is a good study plan? I was planning to just do practice tests and blind review, while clearly focusing on LR and LG whenever Im not doing PT.

How do you do blind review with the problem sets when checking your answers? All I see are the correct answers when I go to check my first rounds answers

I just did my first PT which included 2 question types I have never encountered before: Substitution Equivalence LG questions and a Comparative RC Passage. It was pretty stunning to first see them since I have done the entire CC and they were never mentioned. I found the hidden SE lesson in the upper PTs and I dug around a little bit and found JYs strat for Comparative RC but now I'm wondering:

Are there any other new question types from recent PTs that are not part of the CC?

If so, where can I find resources to tackle them?

Can someone tell me what watches are permitted for the paper exam? Thank you. Best of luck studying.

I wanted to know if its possible to use the same LOR and get additional (2) letters?

Or should I just use new LOR for this upcoming cycle?

hey guys im freaking out because i just looked at my admission ticket for July 15th test and it says my first name but then Toronto as my last name. I read that i will have to submit written request to have it changed and it would take 3-5 business days. Am i screwed for July???? Can it still be processed in time???

Hi all and thanks in advance. Is my method of approach optimal?

My target goal is 170+ by Nov and I began studying in Feb. I did not do a baseline BR / PT. I finished Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer, I've done about 4-5 timed PT's and BR's.

I am working through the Lawschooli LR curriculum and will focus on 7sage's LG videos afterwards. My weak points are...everything. In BR I do well on LG but struggle in LR and RC. Is my approach apt if I want to get 170+ in Nov?

This is a bit old and doesn't add a whole lot to this discussion that folks here won't already know, but I really like the simplicity of this part and I share this specifically to echo this sentiment:

If you know you have to be a lawyer, you should probably go to law school. . . If you aren't sure whether you want to be a lawyer or not, do not go to law school. Full stop. End of discussion. That's it.

My high school band director had a policy to do everything he could to dissuade any student considering majoring in music. I was a hardcore band nerd and knew I was going to major in music. I had already earned quite a large scholarship and was pretty much set. So, he pulled me out of rehearsal one day and we talked and he told me all the reasons I shouldn't major in music. He explained to me that if I could be talked out of it, if he could even plant a seed of doubt in my mind, that music was absolutely not for me. Music is a hard profession and most people that go into it are never able to make a living. I majored in English, and I'm forever grateful to Mr. Goff for that conversation.

I think Rainer Maria Rilke--the greatest poet most people have never heard of--put it best (as usual) in Letters to a Young Poet.

This above all--ask yourself in the stillest hour of your night: must I [be a lawyer]? Delve into yourself for a deep answer. And if this should be affirmative, if you may meet this earnest question with a strong and simple "I must," then build your life according to this necessity; your life even into its most indifferent and slightest hour must be a sign of this urge and a testimony to it.

Hi Everyone. I'm reaching out for advice. I've taken about 6 practice tests and my practice test score has consistently stayed at 148 while my BR is between 161-167. I'm really excited about the BR score since my practice test goal score is the 160's, but I'm trying to figure out why my practice test score has stayed the same. Does anyone have any advice on bridging the gap between the practice and BR score and/or understanding why the practice test score is staying stagnant?

Hey guys,

In the last two months I've been getting really good results on my practice tests. I've been getting anywhere from 169 to 174, but those were PT35-50s.

On Wdnesday I took PT 84 and got a 166 and then I got a 165 today on PT 87, which was administered last month.

Are the recent tests really this much harder? I'm trying to calm myself because I was really confident to take the July exam, and now I'm back to square one (I got a 164 last year and resumed studying May of this year).

I'm extremely disappointed because I had thought the 7Sage CC has really helped me understand the essence of arguments and how to approach the exam in general. I really wanted a higher score so that I can lessen the burden that my wife has to carry as the sole provider while I go to law school. I had sacrificed all of my shifts at my job as an investment to get a higher score, and I feel like all of that has been wasted.

Any advice? I thought on Wednesday I wasn't in a very good condition but today I was totally fine. Still a lower score. I'm about to lose it.

Thanks for listening though.

I’ve began studying for the September LSAT. Where do I even begin? I only have enough money for self study other than taking practice tests at my university.I’m new to this app any study tips would be great.

Can someone explain to me the process of requesting transcripts? If I took advanced placement classes in high school in which I received college credit, do I need to send in my high school transcripts through CAS? What about community college if I didn't actually attend the school, just took a course through my high school?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently studying 6 hours a day on the core course. I wanted to know after taking the diagnostic if I should focus on doing weekly full tests to see where I am at?

Any reccomendations?

Thank you,

I wanted to ask if there is any way we could watch all the videos of a lesson at once. For example, instead of moving from one page to another on the most strongly supported videos is there an option where we can watch all 73min in one video. I am not sure if it is only me but moving from one page to the next (waiting for the video to load) really slows down my studying process. I thought it would just be more efficient to just watch everything, from one lesson, all at once and just keep pausing the video when necessary. Only me?

THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP

I am signed up for the LSAT on 21 September, 2019, and just completed an initial diagnostic test. I struggled to say the least, especially on the logical games section. I want to do the blind review method, but there were very few questions that I was 100 percent sure of. My question is this: should I go back and blind review the entire test, or should I save the blind review method until I have done more studying so I get more out of it?

Does anyone know where I can find access to digital practice LSATs, also how do I go about blind reviewing these?

I am still 10 points away from my goal score. Should I do Sept or Oct I am not sure if its enough time?

I work 35 hours a week so I get most of my studying Fri-Sunday Mon-Thur I try to get 2-3 hours depends.

I have to drive to Cleveland this weekend (4hours each way) and wondered if anyone has successfully taken their LSAT studies mobile so to speak. I've listened to an LSAT related podcast but after an hour I feel like I've gained little information other than hear the two guys speak. I'll be driving so I can't work logic games as I go, but would be open to suggestions on how I can gain information rather than just passively sitting.

I have seen a few posts here and on other forums about accommodation, didn't think much about them back then. But now as the July exam is within 2 weeks I have just found out what it really means: it means if you can prove yourself to be disabled/with learning disability/ADHD and whatnot, you get extra time in most cases. I learned about this from a friend who said, without awareness that I am studying for the lsat, that he would do fine because his parents got him a doctor's note so he could receive accommodations for the SAT, and guess what, for the LSAT as well.

It makes me really hurt and depressed, thinking about the many difficulties, intellectually and financially, that I had to overcame to prepare for this exam. I do not regret spending 1000+hours to master the logic and skills required for the LSAT, nor do I have anything against people with real disabilities, like if they are blind or deaf or have an IQ of 80. But for some others I have to admit that their actions seem seriously questionable.

Funny I thought this is a standardized exam. Does anyone think the same?
