Hey everyone,

I am curious does 7sage have anything similar to lsat demon with question bank and video explainations following it? Thank you

Hi guys,

I joined 7Sage in June but was with Kaplan for about a year. I’ve taken practice tests 36-66 already. I just finished the core curriculum and I’m not sure which timed PTs I should take. My test is in Nov and I’m worried if I take 67+ PT that I’ll run out of tests way before my actual tests. Should I just retake 36-66 and then continue on with 67+ or should I just start focusing on 67+? Please help!

I’ve been averaging a 164/165 recently and I’ve taken around 16 PT’s. How often should I balance drilling/taking pt’s for the october LSAT?

"lying is often the morally appropriate thing to do"

Is "often" quantifiable?

So this is really silly, but it's starting to become a problem for me. I started to study for the LSAT in February and have been avg out about 5 hours daily every day. I'm mostly drilling right now and the LSAT practice test I took I scored 164 (I am aiming for a 168-169).... I'm still studying about 5hrs untill I take it in Oct.

Does anyone have advice on how to not get sleepy while studying? I'm well rested, but I think at this point I am kind of bored and maybe that is making me sleepy... it's just really annoying trying to study and my eyes just closing on me every five minutes! Has anyone else experience this? This is so dumb but I don't know what to do!!!!

All I’ve seen are digital problem sets... is there a way to access a full digital version of PTs we have on our account?

Hi y'all,

Thanks to those in advance who respond, these discussion forums and people's experiences have been pivotal in my success and progress.

I began my LSAT studies around late March and found 7sage at the beginning of April. I quickly switched and committed to JY's genius and this system. I've been studying around 45-50 hours a week (some days over 10, some days around 6-7 cause of work). I took my first timed digital test 5 days ago (and first timed test period) and hit 169. I then took another 2 days ago after comprehensive blind review and watching every dang explanation of the previous test, and hit 175. At this point I'm really ambivalent. I'm taking the test in October and want to aim for the 180 and not become too comfortable for fear of hitting below like 175-6 or something but I'm also beginning to feel the wear and tear. I've finally seen the fruits of my labor but know that, while I could, it might be counter-productive do this every single day until the end of October. After a month or so without a day off, I feel like taking a day or so helps with the next two weeks, but I never know WHEN or HOW to do this. When I'm not studying all I do is think about the test and I just want to study. How have you high scorers known when and how to pace yourself about 2.5 months before an exam? I know I'm really close, but refuse to take in September (NOT A MORNING PERSON)- so October is my bet to have apps ready early enough.

I just wanted to see if there was any way to access CC for the video lessons? I'm limited in when I can hear the videos, so was curious if there was a way to do this

Thanks!

Do we get scratch paper for all sections on the digital? or just LG?

Why don't I see any questions in the question bank? When I select 'Qbank' in the menu, it says there are 0 questions available.

I just gave my 7th PT and I bombed it. PT 72 is my lowest score so far with a 153 actual score. I was scoring in mid 160s for my previous 3 prep tests so I don't really know what happened with this particular one. I'm planning on taking the test in October and targeting to give 1-2 Prep tests each week.

Any advice on how I should move ahead? LR is currently my weakest section and I'm in the midst of foolproofing LG.

Would really appreciate some advice from anyone who's been in this position!

Looking for a study buddy anywhere in Calgary or in the world .

As soon as I was done with my last section for September LSAT, I knew I had messed up. It was one of those tests that something wrong had happened and I had frozen up. That's never good, I remember thinking. As I walked to the car with my boyfriend holding my hand telling me how hard LR section had been, I suddenly stopped him and said, lets not talk - I feel sick.

Cut to three weeks of waiting and I knew there was no way I had performed my average. My average leading up to the test had been a 170 and I knew I had underperformed. I had felt sick but nothing could have prepared me for how I felt. When I saw that email from LSAC my hand started trembling. I opened it and it was a 164. I got up and made tea. I could hear my boyfriend in the study room talking to his friend about how he was still waiting for his score -I didn't know how I was ever going to tell him this.

So I took my tea and went to my room, locked the door from inside, and cried. I cried for an hour and after a lot of insistence opened up the door to let my boyfriend and dog in. Both of whom knew something was wrong and were waiting for me outside.

I cried a lot last night. I had cried not because 164 is a bad score but I had not performed what I had been performing. I cried because I knew I could do better but I had nothing to show for it. I cried because I had expected more from my score and myself and I had taken PT's correctly with a 10 point difference but my score reflected that I wasn't even close to that range. I felt defeated.

But after a long crying session, I got up and said, lets go out and eat dinner and celebrate your high 170 score. Just because I underperformed does not mean we don't get to celebrate your achievement. So I put on a dress and went out to eat. I ordered dessert first before my meal. I got the most decadent chocolate cake that was filled with chocolate moose - and I ate it. I sometimes cried while eating it but I ate it. I wanted to remind myself of this night and how awful it felt.

I wanted to tell my story because I know at least some of us were where I was last night. We were sad and we felt disheartened. I wanted to be honest because there is something healing about honesty. I hope this story helps anyone who feels alone and feels like they let themselves down. You are not alone. I also want to tell you do not be disheartened. Failures are a part of life and life is all about defeating what holds us back. I want to tell you I am here for you. Yesterday, I couldn't' have done this without my boyfriends support. I realize how vital it is and I am grateful I had someone who knows about LSAT - someone who gets it. So if you need to talk or study or just need anything - I am here for you (3. I know how lonely and sad it feels to not meet your expectation and how much that can hurt. It can really hurt. But you are not alone and we will get through this.(/p)

Today, I woke up in the morning at 5:30 am. I had been sleeping till 8 am lately because I had slacked off and I now can no longer afford that. I want to score my average and I will not let LSAT defeat me.

Today, I also set new goals for my LSAT prep that I hope will help me do better in upcoming December test. I plan on doubling down and eradicating anything in my life that does not give me a high return on my LSAT study time. I plan to increase my average to a 175 and up - so if I underperform again, I can still have a high score. I plan on never giving up. More importantly, I plan on being here for everyone who needs me to be there for them.

This thread is for you.

Lots and lots of love,

Sami

Please advise on how to do the highlight function, I bought the tablet to do the beta tester and it's not working :( using Chrome and Android. In the 7sage app it doesn't work either

They open fine on my phone but that's not ideal for LG. Also can't see all of the comments on my laptop. What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Hey 7Sagers, you all have built a caring and all-round awesome community here on the discussion forums. As a small thank you to just a few of the many of you that made this happen, we're giving out awards to the biggest chatterboxes on the discussion boards last month.

If you haven't posted here yet, don't be shy, introduce yourself here, even with just a friendly "Hi"!

Edit: "Chattles" corrected to "Chattels". The shame o_O

Has anyone taken the online writing section? I took the test in July, but still haven't taken the writing. Can I take it anytime or is it only on the test date? I'm not sure if I missed it already

Where is the databank? Also when doing a study schedule why does it just go down the line and not introduce us to reading comprehension and logic games earlier in the process?

Hi fellow LSATers,

I think I might have posted this question on Khan Academy, but I don't think I've ever heard back, so here it is:

Khan Academy has these 5 section practice tests that we can take for free online. Any of you know whether these tests are from the past LSAT exams, or whether they were created separately by Khan Academy for the practice purposes. If the former, do you know if there is a way for us to find out which PTs they are from?

Thanks!

Daniel

I thought that RC is very similar to LR.

So I was just wondering why in the syllabus LG is in between LR and RC

Hi Everyone-

I have struggled with NA questions a lot and found an approach that for me has been a bit more intuitive and grounded in an understanding of how LR questions are made and would like to share it. I am hoping this helps people like me who have struggle (and apologize if anyone else has already posted this)!

-We know that for Necessary Assumption questions, the premises given do not, by themselves, justify the conclusion reached.

-However we know that the author believes that their premises DO justify the point being made.

-The author, in going from premise to their conclusion, has made assumption that they believe warrants the conclusion, but we know whenever an assumption is made it is dangerous, because it represents a flaw in the argument.

-However, for NA questions, you want to study the relationship between the premises and conclusion carefully and see what the author is assuming to get from his/her premise to the conclusion of their argument.

-Then, with the assumption you have, you go into the answer choices looking for an answer choice that allows the assumption to hold (this also works for bridging NA because the author is assuming for example, that from A-->C we can conclude A--->D, so we would have to say that it is the case that C is somehow indicative of D).

For example, from the June 2007 PT section 3 question 11

Premise: Feathers from 1880s have half as much mercury as living birds from same species

-Mercury is derived from fish eaten by bird

C: Mercury levels in saltwater fish are higher than they were 100 years ago

This is a cookie cutter NA question in the sense that they give us a phenomenon and something to do with that phenomena, and then conclude that that thing is the only way the phenomena could have occurred. In another sense, that nothing other than fish could have influenced the Mercury levels. This is the authors assumption, and we go in to the AC's looking for something that would affirm (protect) the author's argument

E is correct because it allows our assumption to hold- that other things did not influence mercury levels by telling us that the process used to preserve the birds did not influence drop in mercury level the premise tells us about. (Making it more likely that seabirds are the reason there was less mercury in the older birds)

When you look at every other ac, you can see if has nothing to do with the assumption and so you can get rid of it. This has helped me go faster and understand that the LSAT is all about understanding the gap between the premise and conclusion, and how this helps you go a lot faster!

Hope this helps you all!

I'm about 90% done the Ultimate course and decided to do a PT yesterday because I was getting tired of watching videos and doing practice sets, and I can't believe I got 177 as an actual score!! Didn't change any answers for the blind review so the score is the same. It was for Prep Test #36 which is the first one I've done since starting the course 2 months ago.

Before starting the course, I got 163 on the June 2007 test and then 164 on PT54 so I feel like it's a huge improvement! Granted I've done some studying in the past (2 months in 2017) so I wasn't taking the previous PTs blind.

Still in shock because I felt like there were so many hard questions that I wasn't sure about but this is such a huge confidence boost, so I wanted to share my happiness and encourage everyone to get the course if you haven't already. Happy studying!!

Hi Everyone,

I want to help others with understanding LR and would love to help people see improvement. I have been studying for the LSAT for over a year, and average around -3/-5 on LR and have scored in the upper 160s (167 highest) thus far. Obviously I am not a master at LR but am hoping to help people who are maybe just beginning see some things I wish I saw when I first started studying. Hoping we can improve together! Message me for details and if you want to get started!! :)

I took the online writing yesterday, and I forgot to show both sides of the paper during the room examination recording. I showed it as soon as the test actually started, but I’m not sure if that will still count. I was just nervous, and I forgot to do it during the room examination. Should I contact LSAC on Monday and ask if this is still okay?

How close does the problem set question structure and interface mimic the actual Digital LSAT? I am curious as I was thinking of ditching all my practice test books in order to test via problem sets. I figured I can just highlight each of the sections individually of the tests I would like to study. Any thoughts on this? Sorry in advance if this has already been answered or suggested.
