Hi all,

Just wondering as I have seen other threads address this; how accurate are the 7sage preptest scores? I have been scoring consistently in the high 160s and when I did PT 82 I bombed it. Very shocking and scary as I am taking the September 2018 LSAT in less than 2 weeks and am scoring where I was scoring before I started studying.

That being said, I have seen other threads talking about the difficulty of PT 82, mainly the judicial candor RC passage so maybe this was a particularly tough PT???

Should I take the 7sage score as the 'real' score so to say or is it slightly lower than the official scoring chart that the official LSAC preptests give.

Thanks!

I only have a minor allergy to ragweed, but it's been hitting me pretty hard. I had to pause several times a section during my last PT just to blow my nose.

I sorely hope that my symptoms have quelled slightly by next Saturday as I don't want to be the guy sniffling throughout the entire test, nor do I want to waste my own time by constantly blowing my nose.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Should I take a pill the night before as I'm heading to bed and once again upon waking?

Good luck to everyone in the home stretch.

I take the Lsat in about a week. I haven’t scored over a 148 yet! I’ve been doing blind review, I’ve been through the videos which are great and really help. I’ve been studying since March. I’ve used a varsity tutors tutor who actually introduced me to 7Sage. I am very worried however. I just need to score a 150 to get into the school closest to home (University of Montana.) I know I am a very qualified candidate with a great resume and background, I know that I will will my way to graduation if I get my foot in the door, and i know that Law School is going to be tough, but I just cannot seem to put it all together when I take the this test. I really don’t know what to do. Am I crazy for doing this? I don’t want to ever doubt myself. I’ve taken almost 20 practice tests now, when does it click? I started this journey thinking that if I put the work in then I would be super successful. I have never worked so hard and diligently in my life but when I take this test all my practice and studying seems to get lost I feel tired like I have no control over my thoughts. Again I am worried and I guess I’m just venting, but this is a big deal to me. I had a really high paying job working as a finance manager at a big auto company and hated the fact that I wasn’t really helping people. I want this so bad I am willing to do what it takes but this is just so frustrating to work so hard and not see the results I want. Granted I am so much better than when I started but it’s crunch time and I need to get it together. I’m goimg to buck up and continue to study and practice up to the test and do my best. Whatever happens happens but I will not give up.

Hey everyone! What should be done on the day before the LSAT? I've heard that it's a big no-no to study, but wanted to hear your thoughts.

Additionally, what should you do the morning of?

Thanks in advance!

This short interview reminded me of something many people discuss in the LSAT community: the difference between our practice and test day. Mr. Danaher is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach at Renzo Gracie's gym in Manhattan. In the past few years he has produced a crop of students that have transformed several aspects of the jiu jitsu game. One of his students won ADCC Gold in 2017 (the most prestigious no-gi tournament in the world) and something only ~8 American males have ever been able to do.

In the video, Mr. Danaher says we should look at test day (he talks about grappling competition day) much the same as we look at practice. That, if all along we have been practicing the way we should be, test day is essentially another practice. I've heard this before in the LSAT community: that had we been practicing properly, test day is basically another PT! To all those taking the September exam fresh or as retake, just remember: look at it like just another practice.

I realized that I tend to focus more and have greater confidence when I have a really sharp pencil. I also always start PTs or timed sections on even numbered minutes. What are some of the little idiosyncrasies or superstitions that you guys have when doing PTs?

Just took PT 84 and scored a 169. I know this is a really good score, but I was scoring higher previously (although some of them were retakes). I'm starting to get pretty scared that all my other scores were just high because some of them were retakes (although I hadn't seen them in a year and remembered none of the answers)

What should I do in the next few days not to lose confidence? I noticed that in the PT 80s, I'm definitely getting tripped up by some trickier LR questions.... :(

Is there any downside to primarily taking practice tests prior to 2007? Would practice tests from 1999 or 2002, for example, adequately reflect what I'll see on the November 2018 LSAT?

Any 7sagers out there with the elusive perfect score?

I've been having serious problem concentrating lately. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I'm not doing the questions timed, and found playing this video while working on questions kind of helpful.

It's a 1:30 interval timer, but the first beep is at 1:24, which is convenient.

I know this isn't the most uplifting topic on here but I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced depression while studying for this test. Studying something for a year, with very little to no tangible affirmation or reward has definitely taken its toll on me. Anyone else experience this?

Hey all, I am not sure how to say this, but I think I just need to let it out. I am having a hard time studying full time while living with my parents. I go to my local university library to study, and I try to put in 7-8 hour days during the week and 4-5 hour days on the weekend. However, I am finding it increasingly hard to motivate myself and get solid work in. I took the test last year around

the same time and scored a 155. I took up studying again during March of this year. I scored a 155 on my first PT. I have been trying to drill and get myself ready for the Nov. 17 test, but I feel like I will have to put it off longer. I feel pretty isolated and anxious. I quit my full time job to study for this test, but living with my parents sucks. Dad is an attorney, but a high functioning alcoholic. I am seeing a psychologist this Friday and trying to become more social through meetup.com. Not sure if I should even be mentioning any of this on here. It somehow feels inappropriate, but I just needed to vent. Hope all of your studying is going well. Good luck

I signed up for the November LSAT yesterday and couldn't choose the test center I would have liked to, which has good online reviews from previous LSAT takers with respect to desk space, lighting, room size, etc. So I signed up for a location that I couldn't find any reviews for: Junipero Serra High School (in San Diego, California). It looks like the July LSAT was offered there, and the upcoming September one is being offered there too.

Have any of you have taken the LSAT there, or are going to in September? I would appreciate any information/insight you have on this test center!

Hello everyone hope y’all are well - for my references I need an academic one (I had one in mind but I’m just seeing if I’m going to go through with it ) that being said I’ve started to look at back ups. I have a prof who offered to do it but no longer teaches . Is that fine ? Looking for opinions

I scored 170 on my last preptest (75)!!! -1/-2 on each LR, -3 on LG, -4 on RC! (-10 for 170 sadly) Theres no purpose to this post, I'm just excited all this studying has paid off! 168 was my previous best a few days ago I ddint think a 170 would ever happen, I diagnosticed at 151. 10 weeks of full time studying at 7 sage brought me up like 15 points! Woot!

Hi all:

I'm curious to know how folks approach post-BR. Do you look for patterns (in your mistakes/wrong answers) in order to drill? Go over your mistakes once more before your next scheduled PT? Etc.

*Also, particularly interested in hearing from those who write out LR explanations during BR // how do you further implement this method into your studying?

I have a friend who moved to the US recently for a job. She’s experiencing some really awful problems w her employer and she’d like to speak w an attorney to explore her options.

My question is, what’s the most efficient way to find the proper attorney? Are there any reliable online reviewing sites out there that you’ve used and recommend? I’m aware of several but not sure whether to trust them or not. Would anyone in the courthouse be able to suggest a handful of firms?

Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey All,

I went to register for the November 2018 LSAT at a recommended location where I live and as it stands is is unavailable!

So, is it possible that a seat will become available again in the near future and I could register? Do people often drop? What are my chances of grabbing a seat at my preferred location? What can be done?

Please advise!

Hello,

Is there a list of 7sage tutors that are still active?

Making this post to thank everyone who has messaged me or replied to my posts the last 4 months! I was really set on taking the test in September but after experiencing burn out and realizing that I'm still not where I want to be, I've decided to take a few days off to collect myself before jumping back in to conquer the November exam. I had my reasons to avoid delaying but I've hit a point where I'm taking things in stride and trusting the process. After all, I'm not starting from nothing - rather just picking at my weaknesses and working on maximizing my strong sections.

Wanted to make this post for everyone who is currently contemplating the decision or is in the same boat as me. We got this and everything happens for a reason! Take it as a chance to restructure your study schedule and make changes accordingly - something I forgot about along the way is that the LSAT is always going to be there. It's better to take it when you're ready as opposed to forcing yourself to sit through the exam and get wrecked because you're not ready. Then you'll have to face the psychological effects of being sad or upset at your score when clearly it wasn't time to take it and enter a cycle of self-doubt and contemplating your law school dream. Don't let your pride get in the way of what's best for you!!!

I am taking the LSAT this January. I have studied for about two months using other textbooks and have around 30 previous exams. I am interested in taking the LSAT Ultimate course, but the amount of hours that are designated for each week are far too unrealistic given that I am a full-time university student with essays and exams between now and January. Although I will find time to study, it will not be to the same 40 hours a week that some weeks note in the study schedule. Would it still make sense for me to enrol?

Nov Lsat

I want to get the ultimate plus but i will start with the base package. How does the upgrade process work? How many months will i get?

So, I have some time from when I am interested in taking the LSAT and when I'd like to start studying, which is roughly 08/27/18 - 01/21/18. However, I do wish to purchase the Ultimate+ packet as I would like to give myself all the resources as possible, my only concern is that in the schedule builder it suggests 36-48 hours a week. This is more difficult to plan around especially when taking classes. What is the general suggestion when doing this course load in terms of time and content. I have taken the LSAT twice now and frankly am not here to waste my time, but I also do not want to be overworked to a point where I get too burnt out too early. Any help is greatly appreciated and I look forward to hearing back from y’all. Thanks!

You know in Toy Story 3 when Mr Potato Head puts his face bits on a tortilla and escapes? Really bothers me. Where is Mr Potato Head's consciousness located? Is he an assortment of bits? A swarm? Is he incorporeal? And the face bits are just the ritual objects which summon him into a host shell? What if we pressed his face bits into a person? Does he possess them?

Every one of his parts is connected to a mass consciousness, all the parts share consciousness. this does mean that in order for the rest of the body to perceive what to do, it needs to be connected to the sensing parts-eyes, ears, etc

It’s clear that Potato Head doesn’t experience constant sensation from all his parts, because he’s capable of losing them and not using them at the same time, but it isn’t required that the parts be necessarily in the housing (which is superfluous) or that they be attached to a single continuous Potato body, as is demonstrated several times when parts continue to function while detached.

One might posit that Potato Head is a spirit force capable of manifesting himself within specially made parts - which are unique to each produced Head - but only if he is aware of their approximate position in space. How he moves the parts themselves or the object the parts are embedded in is another question entirely - is he capable of infinite locomotion? Perhaps the feet are capable of manipulating the object they’re placed into: do they have a limited strength?

How does the Potato Head decide on the nature of a single object to be embedded into? Could he be used as an ontological standard, to describe discrete objects by their Potatability? Could a Potato Head embedded in the ground, given a firm place to stand, move the Earth?
