Hey everyone,

I've been studying with 7Sage for a few weeks and I'm curious about your approach on taking notes and keeping track of your work, especially in terms of LR.

For instance, I used to BR problem sets by thinking to myself or out loud and did not take any notes. But lately I started taking detailed notes of the questions that I had trouble with in the problem sets by writing out the premise/conclusion and explanations for each AC on a Word doc. But I found this to be taking too much time (especially because I feel like I should review almost every question in the set) and I feel like it can become a bit of an overkill. I additionally draw some key diagrams that JY's using in his videos and noting down very minimal stuff, which I can easily review afterwards. But I'm not sure if I can/will review my question notes again.

I wonder if you have any recommendations on how to proceed with note taking/journaling. I would appreciate your insights!

I did a mistake this morning. I wanted to print the tickets but I chose the wrong choice, and mistake withdraw my test in Jan. Is there anyone know what can I do? Can I phone LSAC and ask for save my position?

Thanks for you all!!!! I really need help!!!! I was so stupid!!!!!!

Hey all;

Yes, you've read it correctly. After six months of studying, using the LSAT Trainer, PowerScore Bibles, and 7Sage, unfortunately, some of the items I just haven't been able to grasp. Februrary is my last chance to take the LSAT. I did fairly well on the LG Section (17/23) but my LG and RC were awful (-11/-17) respectively.

I figured, since this is my last shot, I'd try something different. On the day of my test, I did not get much sleep that night due to a nasty cold and cough. That contributed to a lack of sleep, which increased my nerves, not to forgo the long drive to the testing center, I figured that had something to do with my poor performance. No excuses though, I've previously prepped at a 157, high of a 162.

7Sagers' I work full time as a Paralegal, and have 8 short weeks to improve to (hopefully) the 160's. Does anyone have any advice on how I could take this. A friend of mine recommended I drill questions, so I upgraded my 7Sage to Ultimate, and plan on drilling questions. Reading Comprehension, in the digital format, do you have any suggestions on how to improve that score, I have a lot of improvement that is needed in that area. Normally I would get -5 or -6 in LR, and I've had untimed test that I've done really well at, minus the RC.

I will take any advice or motivation at this point. My girlfriend doesn't seem to understand the magnitude of how unfortunate this is and the predicment this is having on my mental health. I am a Finance Major, but the LSAT is killing me. Would you recommend taking a practice test (Preptest 80-88) in the weeks leading up to the LSAT and drilling questions by question type in my mean time?

I am having a hard time accessing the PDF files for the questions. The system tells me to enter a password & when I do it says the password is invalid. I have changed my password 3 times and I’m having no luck accessing them. #pleasehelp

I've been finishing my applications for schools and waiting to hear back from them still. Am I supposed to do the FAFSA right now too or can I wait to complete that after they've admitted me?

what does the answer sheet look like ?

I was talking to my brother who wrote the GMAT last year, and he said he cannot study anywhere else but his room. He locked himself in there for weeks when he was studying. I like studying at my desk at home too, but I get crazy cabin fever and end up going a little nutty. You can tell when I've been inside for too long -- my skin gets all pale and translucent lol. I tend to study in places that force me to look presentable - i.e. a nice cafe (instead of being at home in PJs all day which usually results in me feeling kinda gross).

Where is your favourite place to study? Cafe? Library? Home? Rented office space? Just curious to see how everyone else approaches their LSAT studies :)

Hi guys! I'm trying to make the jump from 167 to 170. My BR score right now is 177. I missed 16 on PT 68 and missed 18 on 71. What is your advise? I'm planning to take the LSAT this November. I'm aiming for the top 14, so I don't know if 167 would still be a decent score. I really do want to break into the 170s if possible though. I'm studying full time so please give me your tips

Hi, I understand that UC Davis law school has the following requirement: supplemental material combined with the personal statement must not exceed more than four pages. Supplemental addenda should follow your personal statement and be appropriately labeled within the personal statement document you plan to upload with your application.

With that said, my personal essay is 2.5 pages and my diversity statement is 1.5 pages, so if I combined them, one right after the other, it would meet the maximum. I was wondering if that is acceptable, or if we have to clearly separate the diversity statement in a whole new page?

Thanks!!

Here's to another year of LSAT studying! Let's get those 170s!

I took a diagnostic test on paper, then I circled in my anwers to the answer sheet on 7sage. I also want to circle in my blind review answers, like in the problem sets, so I can get more accurate analytics. I hope this is possible and if so, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on this.

Hi,

I am currently getting mid 150+ and am taking the January exam in 10+ days. My goal for this exam is 160. (Ultimately aiming for 167-170 by May).

Every time I do the digital preptest and BR, I get at least 12-15+ correct question difference.

I am wondering if the difference is majorly because one's on digital and the other is on digital/paper.

I do would like those differences to be reflected on my actual preptest.

Any suggestion?

Good morning everyone! Happy New Year!

I have been studying for the LSAT since November 2019. I also registered for the February 2020 exam. I decided to "self-study" using only the LSAT Trainer. I used the Khan Academy LSAT for my first diagnostic and scored a 144. Very embarrassing to say the least. I have set out a goal score for a 160 until test day. I have been working on practice drills and my last two PT scores were the same 137. My soul has been crushed especially since I have been set to take this test in February and now I am sitting here with two timed tests at 137. I do not know where to go from here... I have 5 weeks left with my trainer schedule that consists of only PT's after this and 8 more weeks until my actual test. I am a bit skeptical/ afraid to start a new program that will rewire my learning strategies before test day. What should I do?

I have been contemplating on purchasing one of the 7 sage bundles and unsure if it will help me increase my score. I am stuck on deciding whether to purchase one of the bundles (if so, which one) and test on February 2020 or work through the bundle and withdraw my registration until I feel ready. I am feeling the pressure at this point and my ultimate goal is to do my best. Any suggestions for this demoralized soul?

P.S.- I read that there is a customized study schedule/ plan for each bundle. How does this work? Will I need to take another diagnostic? Is there anyone out there with similar concerns? What has worked best for you? Thank you in advance!

the "Logic Games" category on the sidebar of the iPhone app for me is stuck with descriptions of the different LSAT courses 7sage offers, but I'm already signed into my ultimate+ account. I think this might be related to how the LG videos were removed from youtube. lmk if any of you know how to fix this

Hi all,

Do transcripts live forever on LSAC or do I have to re-submit every cycle i apply?Also, do recs carry over or must be submitted every year? i was going to apply, but decided to take a gap year.

I've had my Bachelor's degree completed for some time now. However, I came across a program at my local community college that would get me (yet another) Associates Degree (Legal Studies/Paralegal Program) and would also have me officially certified as a paralegal. This actually sounds like a really good idea for me considering my GPA is below a 3.0. I would; 1. Have the opportunity to take all ABA approved courses which, if I excel in them, would look good on my resume for multiple reasons and show that I have interest in the legal profession; 2. Boost my GPA (I assume, considering how LSAC computes your overall GPA); and 3. Become a certified paralegal which, in the long run, might help my employ-ability (maybe, I hope? :D )

Does anybody see any potential reasons why I shouldn't do this? I'm 25, and about 2.5 years removed from my undergrad, but not rushing into law school since I want to make the absolute most out of it and have the ability to get into a wide range of schools. Also, I live in New Jersey, which means that since I don't make enough money annually, I get to take this program for free! :D I feel like given my situation with my sub-par grades, and since I am not in a huge rush to get into law school and can finish the program in a year, I should do this. Any thoughts? Thanks so much!

I’ve been taking practice LSATs on paper, which just works better for me. Is this allowed? Do I have to use the tablet? How could I request the paper copy?

Hey everybody!

Before I graduated from my university, my advisor suggested I write an addendum for my science grades. He has since changed professions and I cannot get a hold of him. His replacement is not very helpful. I completed 3 and a half years of premedical preparation before deciding to go to law school, and quite frankly, I decided in my last semester. There are two rather dramatic events that are described in my personal statement which caused the change. With science grades included, my GPA is a 3.43 and without them, it is boosted to around 3.7. Is there an eloquent way to write an addendum or should I avoid it completely?

Thank you!!!

After taking PT 76 on paper, I graded my scores on here. After I grade my pt's, the option to blind review comes up. For this pt, the blind review grading did not come up and it said "save and submit changes". My blind review score came up as the same score as my pt score but I was unable to put in my blind review answers. Any solution?

What do the scores on top and the percents at the bottom of answer choices reflect? I tried to search for a previous explanation but could not find it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi folks and Merry Christmas!

PT 89 has just been released and to make sure the January test takers can get full use of this PT I am hosting a blind review session for PT 89 on zoom at 2pm eastern time. This will cover the first 2 sections of the PT (logic games and LR section 1)

The idea behind a blind review session is that you come prepared having completed the assigned sections and reviewed them yourself without having marked or looked at the answers. You can then let the group know which questions you had difficulties with and we can go through them together. As the facilitator I will then analyze your approach to the questions and give you some advice as to why you perhaps had difficulty with the question and tweaks to improve your approach moving forward.

The videos for this PT are not yet available so if you have questions about this PT and you want definitive answers before the January admission of the LSAT I highly recommend you join!

The link to the meeting is below (it is on zoom)

Hi there,

I am trying to change my picture for the Jan 2020 LSAT, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. Is it too late?? The tickets dont get printed until Jan 6.

Thank you!

Should you watch the videos for the questions you got right? Is that recommended or just a waste of time?

I want to put all the HARD questions into a question bank I made on a word document to make them easier to study. However I cannot copy and paste any of the questions, what should I do?

I'm in the process of trying to get my accommodations, yet the process has been taking quite a while now in terms of seeing a psychiatrist that it will be in the next few months. I prefer to take the February test, but If I go in without the accommodation the first time, will I be denied if I retake the LSAT?

Thank you,
