Hi guys,

For those of you with 170+, I wanted to ask a question based on strategy.

Let's say that I take PT70 under fully timed conditions, with an experimental section pulled from an old exam. I blind review (BR) the LR section. I fool proof (FP) the LG section. I do the memory method (MM) for the RC section. This happens immediately after taking the exam timed.

According to some of the webinars that I watched, high LSAT scorers have a tendency to redo the questions they got wrong, well after their initial review (BR, FP, and MM) process. Some look at them after a week. For some, a month. Etc...

Question 1: How frequently do you do this? Why?

Question 2: After the initial review, after some time has passed, do you redo all of the questions that you got wrong in LR, LG, and RC sections? Or do you focus solely on LR sections? Why?

Question 3: If you do look at LR section only, which questions that you got wrong, do you redo? Do you redo the questions that you did not circle to be BRed and got wrong? Do you redo the questions that you circled and BRed correctly? Do you redo the questions that you circled and BRed incorrectly? Why?

For contextual purposes, I would say that LG is my strongest section, followed by the LR, and then the RC being the worst section.

Thank you!

I remember when I first found this website last year after 5 months of studying for the LSAT and one cancelled score. I wrote the test two more times and ended up with a mid/high 160s score. Maybe I didn’t quite reach the 99th percentile on the real exam but I scored well enough to be confident about some pretty great tier 1 schools. For that I owe this community a big thanks: I wouldn’t have had the motivation to keep going without you.

I received my first acceptance from my state University on Friday, January 10th. This was a surprise since I had only applied on January 8th and I thought it would take longer. I’m waiting on six more results before I decide where I’ll attend but things are starting in the right direction!

My 2.8 GPA and unusual educational background (hybrid online/b&m while serving active duty military) had me concerned that I would be in for a disappointing cycle. I needed a great LSAT and thanks to 7Sage I did well enough to be above the 75th percentile for almost every school in the country. Granted, my softs are solid (I’m a senior NCO with 14 years in the Army) but nothing helps an application like a strong LSAT. Thanks and good luck to everyone who’s still toiling with the test: there’s light at the end of the tunnel!

Hi guys, it's coming down really heavy in my area. I know it's very unlikely that the exam will be cancelled due to weather, but I've heard that it has happened in the past when certain test centres close. Does LSAC send out an email? How are we notified of weather cancellations? Thanks!

Hi all, does anyone else also find it incredibly difficult to study at home? I don't know what it is, but I always feel a lot more productive when I vary my study venues between coffee shops and libraries. Maybe it's because my brain just doesn't perceive my home as a study location, but instead views it as a relaxing place where I can just hang out in my P.J.s. I'm always paranoid that studying in libraries/coffee shops will be super distracting without me even realizing it, but honestly, I just put my airpods in and listen to lyric-less music and it works really well for me (except when I'm PT-ing, I usually go to a super dead and quiet library and no music). What are your experiences with study venues?

Does anyone have a group of good warm up questions to take in the morning of the exam? I generally do a handful of LRs and one or two games. Was wondering if anyone has a good suggestion on the problem sets. Thank you and good luck to everyone taking the Monday exam.

Hey everyone, My name is Sergio and I am a second semester Junior about to start studying for the LSAT. I am going to buy the Ultimate+ package next week to start studying for one of the summer exams and was wondering if anyone had some tips on how they handled, organized, and used the plethora of material provided. Just looking at what the package comes with is daunting so any help is greatly appreciated!

I am trying to figure out exactly how long the exam will be. If your reporting time is 12.30 and test is 3h 30 mins per website shown below, then does it finish exactly at 4pm or after ? I am have to make another appointment after so I asked.

Hi guys, can anyone help me with not rushing through the RC and LR sessions? I find myself subconsciously skipping reading answer choices which cost me like -7 questions.

i didnt show both sides of the scrap paper to the camera. the program did not instruct me to. anyone get in trouble for this???

Hi,

Since you probably have to uber back and forth to the test center, are cellphones allowed and can be kept outside in some locker ?

Hey guys, just wondering if there are any international students here on 7sage who are currently in law school and working towards practicing law in the US after graduation. I'm Asian, first generation college student and have a low socioeconomic background. I recently got accepted into UCLA, Notre Dame, BC, Duke and UC Berkeley. I'm still waiting for scholarship offers but right now, I'm seriously second-guessing my decision to go to law school in the US given the bleak uncertain future surrounding immigration post graduation. I don't want to work my butt off for 3 years, invest a whole lot of money and time into law school only to be kicked out of the country in the end.

I'd really appreciate any insights/advice you guys have on the matter!! Thank you in advance.

What has been the most effective(books, time management..) at helping you study for the LSAT?

Hello! I am interested to hear what folks' think about the above law schools and how they match up against each other. If one is interested in going into Big Law after law school in NYC or securing a federal clerkship (let's say that person does not need financial aid and for our purposes, he/she has the same grades at each of the schools), what school makes the most sense for these specific goals? And relatedly, which one of the schools above has the best reputation/standing in the eyes of Big Law firms in NYC?

A couple of thoughts:

Seton Hall is higher-ranked than both St. John's and Brooklyn, but my sense is that St. John's and Brooklyn have stronger alumni networks in NYC than Seton Hall. Is the higher ranking negligible, then? Should one take stock in Seton Hall's higher ranking nationally?

Cardozo - Yeshiva is higher ranked than all of the three other schools, but it has a shorter history than St. John's and Brooklyn. Based on my research, Cardozo - Yeshiva is deemed an "up-and-coming" law school and is highly ranked in part due to its superlative IP program. In the eyes of a big NYC law firm, does Cardozo - Yeshiva carry more weight than St. John's and Brooklyn -- all things being equal, that is? What would lead one to choose Cardozo over Brooklyn and St. John's, or St. John's over Cardozo?

A more general question: in the case of the four law schools that I identified above, how significant is the gap between Cardozo - Yeshiva (the highest rank school at 52) versus St. John's (the lowest rank school at 77) (i.e., how should one view the 25 rank difference)? Is there a material difference?

Any and all opinions/takes would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Can you take LSAT writing on the day of the exam ? I am assuming the link is available at midnight.

Is it possible to take the exam in the exam center ?

So I just got 7Sage, however I've been studying for the LSAT for a few months now off and on. I have taken probably ~17 PTs (most of them being pre PT35) and gone through the powerscore Logic Games book as well the Logical reasoning book (didn't find that helpful).

My question is should I put my Practice Tests on hold until I've completed the Core Curriculum? I've only gone through a few units of it so far, but I'm already changing my strategies and seeing new ways to tackle problems.

It seems like it would be a waste to use some of my practice tests before being as ready as I can be from a strategies stand point.

Any input would be appreciated, Thanks!

Hi all.

In short, I've realized a major issue for me is my ability to stay concentrated and to not lose focus during full length tests. I'm fine when I time drill individual sections, but during the full length test I start to get a headache and my mind wanders. And the length is just daunting. Any of you who struggled with this: what did you do to reduce this issue or get more comfortable with the length/duration of the test? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I’ve used the search tool, which is just not easy for some odd reason. They used to be nicely displayed under resources tab at top. It seems very hard to find them now...suggestions welcome. Thanks!

I have recently noticed the language difficulty really plays a role in my LSAT score.

Under time pressure, I would not have enough time to read the stimulus and answer choices CORRECTLY to pick the right answer.

This leads me wonder if anyone has experience overcoming the language difficulties in LSAT? What are the things I can do to effectively improve in this area?

Also anyone can weigh in the trend of language difficulty in LSAT these years? I have recently done LR in old LSAT test, 20-40, where language seems to be quite a challenge.

When you apply to Yale or Harvard through the LSAC website. They want you to disclose if you have taken the GRE as well as the LSAT. Is that like a mandatory requirement? Why do we have to disclose this information?

Do they have a way of finding out if you have taken the GRE if you don't disclose that you have? Or is that voluntary admission they want us to do?

When will PT 89 be available on 7Sage for practice? Thank you! #help

How many games appear on any section ? A quick glance shows not more than 4 games which should total 23-24 questions.

hint is here: http://www.west.net/~stewart/lsat/logic-games-tutorial.htm

What are the main differences? Thanks so much!

Hello all,

I'm currently studying to take the February exam and I have a goal of about 170-172 in mind.

I recently started taking timed practice tests and my average score is around 164-165. When I take practice tests untimed, I score around 168-170. I find myself going over the 35 minutes in reading comprehension and occasionally in logical reasoning.

I have about 1.5 months left of studying and I'm open to trying new techniques to improve my score! If you don't mind sharing your ways with me, I would really really appreciate it!

Thank you~

Any idea when these might be available on the site?
