Guys!! GUYS!!!

I know some of you are probably tired of seeing these posts, but I have no one around me that knows enough about the LSAT to appreciate this with me. After almost three months of studying and constantly feeling like I'll be forever stuck in the mid 160s, I actually feel like there's hope! I know I shouldn't put too much weight on one PT, but this is quite motivating. ^^

Thanks for the help thus far everyone!! Shoutout to Sami and Josh (Can't Get Right)! Even though I have only attended their sessions/worked with them a few times, their advices are very insightful.

Side note: Like many others I immediately started googling 'is PT53 easy?' to see if it was just an anomaly and haven't found much. Any thoughts?

How can I consolidate all the flash cards without clicking the star? Do we have a subcategory that will allow us to make use of all the flash cards under one tab?

Are there any digital LSAT exams on here? I only see the option where I can print the tests and hand-take them.

Hey all!

I know the topic of retaking PTs and their value has been discussed many times, but I just wanted to get a little more specific advice.

Here is my situation. I scored 167 on the June LSAT and I plan to retake it in October.

Before the June test I used up all the PTs and now I have a problem with a lack of fresh material for studying.

Starting from July I have retaken eighth full PTs (from the 60s and 70s) with an average score of 177 (Section performance is: LG: -0.1, LR: -1.4, RC: – 4). My BR scores are 179-180.

I realize that these scores are inflated, and they do not reflect my real performance.

So, I wanted to get advice from those of you who have studied only with retakes. How did you gauge your improvement from PT to PT? What were your study methods? How did you address your weaknesses exposed in your retakes? What outside materials/unusual exercises did you use in your studies?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

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?

For the PT 87 RC comparative passage 4, the video explanation for the passage B is not uploaded. When you click the video explanation, it just brings you back to the explanation for passage A. So there are 2 duplicate videos for passage A, and no video explanations for passage B.

Hi everyone :). I would really appreciate some advice on the LR section of the LSAT. I have studied the LR section of the exam through 7 sage+ LSAT trainer. I have recently done around 5 sections untimed sections from multiple tests. I have been scoring around 15-16. I would really like to increase that score. I am wiring the exam in October and I want to get around 21-22 questions right under timed conditions. I was planning to keep doing full sections after sections till my score increases, and then time myself. I am also making sure that I read the explanation for why I am getting the questions wrong. I wanted some advice. Should I continue to do individual sections ? Or should I review the LR curriculum again ?

Thank You :)

How much time?

I'm curious how do you guys deal with the fatigue in the later sections. I just finished PT 48 and I had -0 for the 1st LR section (section 1) and -8 for the 2nd LR section (section 4). I feel extremely tried after/ or even during section 3 and don't have the mental sharpness to focus on the logical structures for the 2nd LR section.

How do you guys deal with test day fatigue? What do you guys usually eat during the 15 minute break, anyone having experience taking caffeine pills? Or should I do more PTs and learn to tough it out?

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to keep it as short as I can. Today was my 3rd attempt at this test and it did not go well. In hindsight I didn't think the test was so hard but in the moment it might have well been my diagnostic. I've been preparing for this take since under-performing in June and I believe I did everything right. I started with the 7sage curriculum, moved onto timed/untimed sections, and finally to 1-2 PT's a week with thorough blind review. Following these steps I saw massive improvement and was scoring where I wanted to be a month out from the exam. The PT's I took were all 5 section strictly timed exams with a 15 min break in between at the exact testing location at 8:00 during this time. I was feeling so confident and accomplished as I was up 20 points from my diagnostic just months before.

Anyways I've never had a problem with anxiety before and stress wise I was doing really well up until the exam. The morning of I was feeling a little stress but I meditated and I was feeling fine up until the exams began to get passed out. As soon as I opened my test a wave of sickness just crashed over me and it was like I had never seen an LSAT before. My first section was LG and I was scoring an average of -1.5 on PT's whereas now I couldn't even figure out how to do a simple sequencing game. I had a giant knot in my stomach and a throbbing pain in my head and ended up forgetting everything. I wasn't going through the motions I had mastered so well during my practice and in turn everything else just suffered.

Is this anxiety? Panic? What should I do? Whatever it was I was not prepared for it and I'm looking for advice on what I should do to counter this. I'm taking this test once more in January since I'm required to attend law school this upcoming fall. Please any advice is appreciated

I heard the tablets have a stand. How much can you use them to tilt the screen?

I'm fully aware that scores you get on PTs that you've already seen in the past 3ish months are most likely inflated. In this case, you're encouraged to focus on refining/honing skills needed and mechanically applying approaches learned. And I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Now, how about PTs that you saw more than 10 months ago? For me, 10+ months of time most likely resets my brain. I may remember a couple of LR questions but most of the time it's more like "oh I remember reading about this subject matter in a stimulus' as opposed to 'oh the credited response for this question was C.' I experimented whether or not retake scores reflect my current level earlier this year. Took a PT I hadn't seen in 11 months. Took a brand new PT several days later. They was a 1 point difference.

I've recently been taking PTs in the 60s, which I took last August. So exactly a year has passed. And I've seen massive score increases in three PTs. I think on one of them I had a 12/13 point increase. I really want to believe this is a testament to major improvement as I'm prepping for my third take in 2 months. Any 7sage folks out there that have experienced the same?

Hi, I am bombing PTs and still off from my BR goals. So far I've been studying ~10-20 hours a week since February and my PT average is about 156 and my BR is 165-167; I've been getting almost the exact same scores on PT and BR from May - August over 4-5 PTs and BRs. My goal is 170+ but I'm not seeing almost any improvement in my scores.

I went through Mike Kim's book which is good for getting the basics down but wasn't helpful in mastering LSAT logic. I started Lawschooli.com's LR program because I wanted to sharpen up my LR since it was so lacking. If I have time I plan on doing the 7Sage basic course after the Lawschooli LR program. Should I ditch the Lawschooli program for the 7Sage basic course (especially if I want to take the LSAT in November)?

My BR process is extremely slow but thorough. I have a template for LR and RC as follows.

My LR template is:

Q type and #:

Support:

Conclusion:

Argument:

Conditional statements:

Flaw:

What I predict the AC to be:

A. Then a thorough analysis of my understanding of each answer choice.

B.

C.

D.

E.

For RC I use the 7Sage memory method (which is awesome) and my template is:

Q# and type.

What do I understand the A to be from the passage?

A. Then thorough analysis of each answer choice.

B.

C.

D.

E.

I feel like I am learning a lot by going through BR so thoroughly. Regardless, on my last BR I got -8 and -6 on LR and I just about threw the book when I saw how many I missed (lol). I did even worse in PT with -10 and -9. I am feeling frustrated that something isn't working; does anyone with more experience have any advice? Should I stick with the super slow and thorough template-based BR process I'm using now? Can I raise my score significantly relying on various forums or do you all suggest a tutor?

Does anyone have any help? Anything is appreciated. Thank you :)

I have called and emailed the company several times, I have done everything on my end including the cookies and flash but the video and audio continue to skip. I have not had this problem in the past. When is the nest session the last one was aug 12? Thank you, M

Hey All,

I was studying this spring for the LSAT and feeling pretty confident. I will be taking the test in October 2019. My practice thus far has all been in paper and I know the LSAT has switched to digital only. I know LSAC has 3 free digital LSATs on their site but I was wondering if there are any other places I take digital practice LSATs? I am only interested in taking the tests, I have done enough coursework and I am feeling quite good about my scores, I just want to feel a bit more comfortable with the using a tablet to take the test.

Thanks!

Have a job that requires weekly air travel and many nights a week in a hotel. Working through the Core Curriculum now for an October 2019 write (barring a July testing miracle).

I wish we were able to download sections of the core curriculum but I don't think it's possible, yet hint hint JY

Does anyone have suggestions for traveling and studying? It's difficult enough to balance with work and setting aside time in the hotel room to go through some lessons but I really think those hours on a plane could be put to much better use than The Office reruns.

I am currently in my third week of the 7Sage Core Curriculum and have found that as I move forward with the content, I tend to being to forget some of the information that I learned in the previous lessons. I am sure that I will have to go back through some parts of the CC once I get into just doing PTs and Blind Reviews. However, I am trying to minimize the amount of time that I spend going back through CC. I want to get as much of the fundamentals down now. As I have reading through some of the discussion boards, I have read about people who have found success from pairing the CC with other resources. This is where I need help. What other resources would you recommend pairing with CC?

Is there a way to quiz yourself on being able to identify the question type from just looking at the question stem?

Hi 7Sagers,

So far I have taken two PTs and they both have me around a similar range. I got a 157 on the one I just took (PT52) and a 156 on the previous one. I know it's just two practice tests, but I'm a bit worried about logic games since everyone says it's the easiest to improve on and I'm still stuck getting around 16-17 right. I'll go back to the games portion of the curriculum since I seem to be missing something. However, I started foolproofing a couple of weeks ago and while I feel like I understand some inferences better (especially relating to in and out games), I'm not seeing a clear improvement yet. How long does it typically take to improve in games? I'm also having trouble finishing the RC passages (which annoys me to no end because I've always been good at RC in other tests). Finally, I'll be going back to the curriculum for some parts of the LR section, especially the conditional logic/SA part. Fortunately, my LR hasn't been too bad but I'm still looking for ways to improve.

My goal is the mid 160s and I'm taking the test in September. However, I have made peace with the possibility that I may have to retake later on.

Aside from going back to certain parts of the CC, what else do you guys recommend I do? I'm having a serious problem with time in RC and LG because I can't finish the last passage and game for each. I know improving RC is hard, but is it possible? How many games do I need to foolproof to see a marked improvement? Finally, I get nervous when taking the PTs and that also contributes to time loss/inefficiency. Any tips to minimize that?

Any help/advice would be great.

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if you guys have any tips on how to read better. By this I mean being able to read quicker and being able to retain more info from the passage.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I just upgraded to Ultimate+ from the basic package. I have 2 official scores on file, a 159 -> 162. My last few PT's have been between 164 and 168. I have worked through the core curriculum and I want to begin polishing my skills for the September exam. My BR score tends to be in the mid 170's so I am confident I can attain this come September.

I need some advice on how to utilize the Ultimate+ to efficiently practice. I have no idea how to really use it, especially when creating drill packets.

Hi all - how are you able to simulate the 5-section test experience using the digital PT? Any tips? Thanks!

I have registered for the September test but I am not well-prepared for it. I think about applying for law schools one year later so I may not change the September test to a different test date. I decide to withdraw my registration but I still have two questions about withdrawing.

I know that for canceling scores, my law school report will reflect that my score was canceled at my request, If I withdraw my registration, will it be shown on any of my report or transcript?

For the new test-taking limit policy, there is upper limit for how many tests I can take within certain periods, for example, three times in a single testing year. I have never taken LSAT before, if I withdraw this time, it that mean I can only take two tests for this testing year?

Thank you!

JY and company,

I was wondering if there is something that you can set digital LSAT on 7Sage to match extra time for accommodated testing on the real LSAT since I have been approved extra time in November 2019 LSAT. I noticed that there is not a way to set the time to match what I was approved. I want use the digital part. Please, help with my request. I want to be able to have it time set for 50 minutes to match my approved accommodated testing time. The digital LSAT for 7sage is set for 35 minutes.

Just wondering what the optimal timing might be in the cycle to make a first visit to a campus that you have on your list? Thanks.
