How do you do blind review with the problem sets when checking your answers? All I see are the correct answers when I go to check my first rounds answers

I just did my first PT which included 2 question types I have never encountered before: Substitution Equivalence LG questions and a Comparative RC Passage. It was pretty stunning to first see them since I have done the entire CC and they were never mentioned. I found the hidden SE lesson in the upper PTs and I dug around a little bit and found JYs strat for Comparative RC but now I'm wondering:
Are there any other new question types from recent PTs that are not part of the CC?
If so, where can I find resources to tackle them?
Does anyone know where I can find access to digital practice LSATs, also how do I go about blind reviewing these?
Hi all and thanks in advance. Is my method of approach optimal?
My target goal is 170+ by Nov and I began studying in Feb. I did not do a baseline BR / PT. I finished Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer, I've done about 4-5 timed PT's and BR's.
I am working through the Lawschooli LR curriculum and will focus on 7sage's LG videos afterwards. My weak points are...everything. In BR I do well on LG but struggle in LR and RC. Is my approach apt if I want to get 170+ in Nov?
I am signed up for the LSAT on 21 September, 2019, and just completed an initial diagnostic test. I struggled to say the least, especially on the logical games section. I want to do the blind review method, but there were very few questions that I was 100 percent sure of. My question is this: should I go back and blind review the entire test, or should I save the blind review method until I have done more studying so I get more out of it?
hey guys im freaking out because i just looked at my admission ticket for July 15th test and it says my first name but then Toronto as my last name. I read that i will have to submit written request to have it changed and it would take 3-5 business days. Am i screwed for July???? Can it still be processed in time???

Hey guys,
In the last two months I've been getting really good results on my practice tests. I've been getting anywhere from 169 to 174, but those were PT35-50s.
On Wdnesday I took PT 84 and got a 166 and then I got a 165 today on PT 87, which was administered last month.
Are the recent tests really this much harder? I'm trying to calm myself because I was really confident to take the July exam, and now I'm back to square one (I got a 164 last year and resumed studying May of this year).
I'm extremely disappointed because I had thought the 7Sage CC has really helped me understand the essence of arguments and how to approach the exam in general. I really wanted a higher score so that I can lessen the burden that my wife has to carry as the sole provider while I go to law school. I had sacrificed all of my shifts at my job as an investment to get a higher score, and I feel like all of that has been wasted.
Any advice? I thought on Wednesday I wasn't in a very good condition but today I was totally fine. Still a lower score. I'm about to lose it.
Thanks for listening though.
I wanted to know if its possible to use the same LOR and get additional (2) letters?
Or should I just use new LOR for this upcoming cycle?
Answer choice D contains the reason why the answer is incorrect.
Honestly, I don't know what's wrong with me. I've been working through the lawgic and the PSA/SA/MBT curriculum for the past month and I'm so bad at it.
I understand lawgic in terms of the rules of translation when I do it in the quizzes. But when I did the SA/PSA practice question sets, for every question I tried to diagram, it took me over 10 minutes and I was always so so wrong.
I don't know why I'm so bad at it-- I don't know what I'm not understanding! Does anyone have any resources for further practice or any advice on how to get better at this? I'm genuinely, completely, 100% terrible at it and I don't know why.
Hey guys,
I am wondering if CPA PEP (Canada) is considered a mandatory institution for LSAC transcript requirements. Its a professional designation for an accounting license which requires module work to be done.
I e-mailed LSAC about it but shocker, no reply for ages.
Can someone explain to me the process of requesting transcripts? If I took advanced placement classes in high school in which I received college credit, do I need to send in my high school transcripts through CAS? What about community college if I didn't actually attend the school, just took a course through my high school?
Hi Everyone. I'm reaching out for advice. I've taken about 6 practice tests and my practice test score has consistently stayed at 148 while my BR is between 161-167. I'm really excited about the BR score since my practice test goal score is the 160's, but I'm trying to figure out why my practice test score has stayed the same. Does anyone have any advice on bridging the gap between the practice and BR score and/or understanding why the practice test score is staying stagnant?

I wanted to ask if there is any way we could watch all the videos of a lesson at once. For example, instead of moving from one page to another on the most strongly supported videos is there an option where we can watch all 73min in one video. I am not sure if it is only me but moving from one page to the next (waiting for the video to load) really slows down my studying process. I thought it would just be more efficient to just watch everything, from one lesson, all at once and just keep pausing the video when necessary. Only me?
THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP
Is there an estimated date when this will be available to purchase on 7Sage? I know explanations won't be available before the July test but I'm really hoping to take it as a Digital PT before the July test. Thanks!
This is a bit old and doesn't add a whole lot to this discussion that folks here won't already know, but I really like the simplicity of this part and I share this specifically to echo this sentiment:
If you know you have to be a lawyer, you should probably go to law school. . . If you aren't sure whether you want to be a lawyer or not, do not go to law school. Full stop. End of discussion. That's it.
My high school band director had a policy to do everything he could to dissuade any student considering majoring in music. I was a hardcore band nerd and knew I was going to major in music. I had already earned quite a large scholarship and was pretty much set. So, he pulled me out of rehearsal one day and we talked and he told me all the reasons I shouldn't major in music. He explained to me that if I could be talked out of it, if he could even plant a seed of doubt in my mind, that music was absolutely not for me. Music is a hard profession and most people that go into it are never able to make a living. I majored in English, and I'm forever grateful to Mr. Goff for that conversation.
I think Rainer Maria Rilke--the greatest poet most people have never heard of--put it best (as usual) in Letters to a Young Poet.
This above all--ask yourself in the stillest hour of your night: must I [be a lawyer]? Delve into yourself for a deep answer. And if this should be affirmative, if you may meet this earnest question with a strong and simple "I must," then build your life according to this necessity; your life even into its most indifferent and slightest hour must be a sign of this urge and a testimony to it.
I CANNOT thank 7Sage (especially JY) and the amazing community here enough. I honestly never thought I could reach the 170s (my first practice test was a 139), but on the June 3rd exam I scored a 171, and I COULD NOT have done it without JY's incredible teaching. The moral of the story here is that:
Thank you 7Sage. I can't thank you enough.
Edit: I don't know what month it is, apparently
Hi everyone.
I have a quick question - I am incredibly bad at MBT and SA questions. When I come across them, I sort of freak out and try and figure out the logic in the stimulus and end up getting the question wrong and wasting a bunch of time. Does anyone have any tips at getting better at these? I've been trying to drill them for the last couple of days and I still can't figure out how to get the logic mapping done correctly nor quickly.
I am still 10 points away from my goal score. Should I do Sept or Oct I am not sure if its enough time?
I work 35 hours a week so I get most of my studying Fri-Sunday Mon-Thur I try to get 2-3 hours depends.
I took the June LSAT a week after my grandfather passed away. The week leading up to the exam was one of the most emotionally draining/stressful weeks I've experienced to date. I ended up scoring 3 points short on my PT average/goal score, but also 3 points higher than my take in November. I've decided to take the September test. Any advice on getting back into the groove after a month off? I'm planning on taking 1 PT/week and BRing during the week while working full time.
I sat the June test and did less than stellar (below median for schools that I was hoping would be my safeties). I immediately signed up for the September test, but am admittedly so worried that I'm already contemplating signing up for October 2019 as well because I'm hoping to get my apps in before Thanksgiving.
Long story short:
I work with a bunch of attorneys and bless their hearts they're so kind and excited for me, but they also inadvertently make me very nervous (and I'm already naturally a worry wart!).
Thanks in advance for your input!
I swore I saw Preptest 87 on the analytics page recently, was it removed?
Hello,
My name is Carlos . I am a rising Junior and plan on taking the LSAT sometime April or June of 2020. I know I still have a long way to go until I take the LSAT. But I was unsure on which LSAT Prep course to purchase from 7sage. I really want to aim on getting into the high 160s and low 170s range. My diagnostic LSAT test was a 147. But I know that with a prep course, I can move up to the 160s. I plan on starting my prep studying this Monday.
I am stuck between getting the LSAT Ultimate and Ultimate plus. Money is not to big on an issues since I see this as an investment to my future. But what would you guys recommend for me to get ?
Thanks
I have to drive to Cleveland this weekend (4hours each way) and wondered if anyone has successfully taken their LSAT studies mobile so to speak. I've listened to an LSAT related podcast but after an hour I feel like I've gained little information other than hear the two guys speak. I'll be driving so I can't work logic games as I go, but would be open to suggestions on how I can gain information rather than just passively sitting.
Hello everyone,
I just read an interesting explanation to a question that in part used "The Principle of Charity" to help wade through the answer choices (PT 74, part 3, q6, answer c). The explanation said that "The Principle of Charity" is applied throughout the LSAT as part of the foundation of the test. I was wondering what other, if any, principles underlie the LSAT? It seems to me it would be very helpful to know them.
Thank you!
Nick
