I'm watching his RC reviews(PT 58+) and I noticed that his videos are unusually longer than the previous series...

Is it the first time he introduced the Low-Res/High-Res techniques and AB technique for comparative passages (and for the rest of PT58+) ???

P.S. I am VERY excited to listen to his detailed ver. reviews! : )

Hey guys,

I just had a general question regarding PT's. So if I wanted to take a 5 section PT, how would I go about adding another section to the PT? For example the PT's within the curriculum only have 4 sections in them and I was confused the other day because there is a 5 section proctor available but all of the PT's are only 4 sections. I don't know if I am asking a pretty obvious question but I couldn't figure out how to simulate 5 sections like i'll need to do test day. Thanks guys and any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi 7sagers

I'm back. I took a 1-2 week break after the Sept LSAT.

I didn't log on to 7sage or look at any LSAT material.

Weirdly and strangely, I miss you guys. LOL From logging on everyday and doing PTs. Checking my work. Taking breaks and looking at the discussion board...and then just going MIA for 2 weeks, feels like forever.

My sept LSAT (first real LSAT) was rough. I was nervous and I found myself not 100% focusing on the test. But instead, sweating and thinking about the time. I'll be honest, I don't think I did that great.

I also didn't cancel my score because I wanted to see what I got wrong and learn from it. Another reason why is because 100% of the schools I'm looking at takes the highest grade.

It's be rough and really stressful. but there is nothing I can do now but prepare for the Nov LSAT.

I feel more confident as I know what the environment is like now. I will be back to studying next monday!

I'm excited....which is weird LOL. but I feel better. I know what to expect. I know the questions. I know the format.

I just feel better this time around! of course I still have the nerves because its the FREAKING LSAT! but...not as much.

I miss you guys! good luck to all.

BACK TO THE GRIND!

Hi,

My 7Sage account is expiring in 3 days. I have taken the September LSAT and am waiting for the results. Is there a way that I can keep my account until I get the results back and decide if I want to extent my subscription then? Or do I have to pay again if I decide to take the November test?

Thanks.

Hey guys,

I know some of the videos are transcribed but I was wondering if there was a way I could use closed captioning for some of the videos if its available? And how would I do this? Closed caption while watching would be really useful to me since I try to sneak in some videos while I'm at work and can't use my headphones. Thank you.

Is there a PT score/BR score combination at which drilling becomes an ineffectively use of time and instead one should solely focus on PTing with BR?

Or do even folks with PT170+/BR near 180 still drill?

I'm trying to grapple with how much drilling vs. PTing I should be doing

Lol, it's dumb but I'm actually seriously wondering.

Can we get away with imperfect bubbling? When taking practice tests, I avoid bubbling outside the circle, but I don't prioritize completely filling in the bubbles - many are mostly filled, but not completely filled. Is that ok?

Hey fellow 7sagers,

Need some studying advice - not sure if this has already been discussed in the forum previously. If so, I do apologize!

So far, I have sort of carved out this studying plan model:

Phase 1) Finish Content of the Syllabus for RC, LR, LG

Phase 2) Do ALL Problem Sets (Goal: Strengthening my knowledge and foundational skills)

Phase 3) Do Timed Sections from PTS 40 - 60 (Goal: To improve my timing and strategy)

Phase 4) Do All PTS from 60 and above (Goal: Putting everything I have learned altogether & fine tuning my approach)

At the moment - I do not have a set date to write the test, but my prep goal is to help reach about 170. With that stated, I am currently in Phase 2 of my studying and I sort of want to maximize this opportunity. I really want to improve my LG and RC skills during this phase. In LG specifically- being able to recognize patterns & speed improvement. For RC - at least try to complete a passage below 10 minutes & find tuning my annotating skills.

With this in mind - when folks have tried to improve in certain sections, do you try to dedicate a block of studying time for a particular section? To clarify - for example, take two weeks of full LG drilling to improve in LG sections and not studying anything else besides. Simirarily doing the same for RC. Has anyone tried this? Is there any other approach?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi all,

I just bought the LSAT Trainer to supplement my studies with 7sage. For context, I started with the Powerscore Bibles, have done 7sage CC, and have taken 6 PTs. Most recent PT was 165 with a 174 BR:

LG -2 (new PR; finished fool-proofing)

LR -11 (higher than usual despite LR drilling in the past, but I neglected LR for a while b/c of FPing )

RC -5 (new PR)

I am wondering what folks think would be the most effective use of the Trainer.

Keep taking a weekly PT and read the trainer in between? Stop PTing and knock-out the Trainer? Some combination of the two with intermittent PT breaks?

Also, for context I work full-time.

Thanks for everyone's input; I really appreciate it! 7sager's rock

i was doing some brainstorming on ideas for my personal statement

and wanted to get the communities take on them.

i studied abroad in the middle east for 3 yrs and the academy i studied in lacked a gym . the closest gym to us was about an hour away and exorbitantly expensive. i am a fitness fanatic and after a year of working out in my room with whatever objects i could use as weights i decided that this has to end. i went to the school and petitioned them to give me a room in the dormitory to use as a gym, after many long arguments, they agreed to give me a small room as long as the school would have no expenses from the gym. I then went out and fundraised money for gym equipment and new flooring. i was able to raise a few thousand dollars. i travelled 2 hrs to closest gym supplier and purchased whatever machinery and weights we could afford and the flooring, they shipped it to the academy. and i spent a week installing the flooring myself and building all the equipment, for the next 2 years i did the maintenance and upkeep of the gym until i came back stateside.

any thoughts on this idea would be much appreciated . thanks for reading!

I finished the CC in May, have been doing LG and LR drills, as well as taking a mixture of timed and untimed PTs for the past four months. I am writing the November LSAT, how should I structure my study schedule from now until November to maintain my LG score, and to increase my LR and RC scores. Although RC is my worst section, I have been dedicating a lot of time to LR because I think that's where I can gain the most amount of points given the time left. But since I now have more time to study, how should I tackle RC? Drill one section per day? I also struggle to finishing on time. Any suggestions from you will be greatly appreciated!

Should craft a new personal stamenent for a school I’m reapplying to? Also is there any other key things to consider when reapplying? Thanks in advance!

Hey Sagers,

A bit of a strange question here, but here goes: Does anyone know the computer device J.Y. uses (or anything comparable to it) to write on the screen when going through the CC and the questions?

While I am still reserving timed drills and PT's for physical pencil and paper, I think this is a better option to use for drilling other material considering the printing, storing, and maneuvering through hordes of paper of drilling material is cumbersome and expensive. Thus, I am looking for a digital and more eco-friendly alternative.

Any and all help is appreciated!

I am planning to start recording myself while I am doing drills and reviewing my video footage for both LR and RC just wondering if anyone has a system that works for them, especially for RC.

I’m visiting my TC next week and have a meeting scheduled wth an admissions advisor. It’s a 20 min meeting...really short. Do I just ask them what they’re looking for in an applicant and let them talk or am I trying o sell myself orrrr

Hey!

Wondering if anyone has attended one(+) of LSAC's law school forums and if yes, what your experience was like?

Also, is there a way to find out which schools will be attending the forum you're interested in? If so, how can I access that?

171 3.1 GPA. Why does LSN show I have a very small chance at NYU and the Admissions Predictor shows i have a favorable chance? Which one is correct - ED and URM

Hello, everyone! I hope the LSAT prep is going as intended.

So, here's a question just out of curiosity. Why law? Why do we want to study law, and become lawyers?

Hi Friends,

I have a dilemma that I would appreciate some insight on. I have taken the LSAT once (in June) and gotten a 160, which I wanted to improve significantly this September. I ended up going through a break up this past LSAT weekend and felt terrible throughout the test (I thought I was going to have to leave on multiple occasions because I was so nauseous). In addition, I did not finish three questions on the LG section. Other confounding factors that contributed include that I moved at the end of July to be with my ex in another city, keeping my old job and commuting to work 1.75 hours each direction daily. I was interviewing and was offered another position in order to be in the same city as my ex the week prior to the LSAT and accepted, so my entire life circumstances changed within about a month. I say this because I think all the turmoil on test day and leading up to it really affected my ability to focus and perform my best, both in June and last weekend.

Were you me in this situation, would you cancel and retake in November, or keep the score and retake in November? I know schools will see a cancellation, and I would also like to apply early decision, for which September is the last possible date they accept, so I would be gambling on the September score or using the 160, which I do not want to do... I also do not want three scores to look detrimental. I need to decide within about 24 hours, so any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.

Hi all! Is anyone planning on going to the WCC Law fair held in SF this weekend?

Also, few general law fair questions: Is this a biz casual affair or am I pulling a Jessica from Suits? Should I bring my resume? What type of questions do they expect candidates to ask? If you went to a law fair, was it helpful for you? And most importantly, do they give out fee waivers at the table?

I'm ordering my CAS report and my cumulative GPA is 3.492...a very annoying number. Should I choose the category of 3.5-3.74 or 3.0-3.49? I really want to choose the first one haha but don't know if I really belong there:(

Will choosing either one have any advantage/disadvantage?

Hey guys, is it generally true of the 2 LR sections in the test, one section is harder than the other one? I find that I tend to do better in one LR section than the other one. And when I am doing the test, one LR section I find reasonable. Then I do the other LR section, and I think, wow this one is significantly harder. Wondering if anyone else has similar experience.

Hi all,

Does anyone have any recommendations for 7Sage tutors in the L.A. area? I may be open to tutoring via Skype (or other platforms) but would prefer in-person tutoring. My weakest section is the RC section. I am most comfortable with LG and typically do well on LR but often find myself second guessing and choosing a trap answer choice. Thanks in advance!

My current BR average is around 172. I'm wondering if I need to bring My BR score up to the high 170s in order to start PTing in the high160s to low170s. I figure it's gotta be nearly impossible to actually hit a 170 if your BR is only a couple points higher than that. What's a normal BR score for some of you high scorers?
