With a week left until the June exam, I’m wondering what consensus exists here in the wisdom of tapering off the study schedule? Like a marathoner, I believe that while it’s certainly unwise to abandon studying altogether this last week, there may be some benefit to tapering off slightly.

There used to be an option to grade your test right when you open up the app. Anyone’s know where that went? Also can I find that option on the website?

Hello, I am 48. A career changer and considering using this forum to study....I am trying to review the logic games for free before I commit to a purchase. I can't seem to find any answer to this question: Does this review course require the purchase of a book to go along with the videos? Or, is the information such as a text, included? Any information would be greatly appreciated

How do you differentiate between the context and the premise? Do you always have to have a premise indicator in order to have a premise?

I am viewing the lecture videos on both Chrome and Firefox and don't seem to have the variable playback speed? Any possible fixes to this?

Hi 7Sage!

I've seen quite a few posts on here and Reddit advising that the week or two before the exam is spent getting in a nice, relaxing routine so that you're rested and at your best on test day.

Which is great, if you are taking the test somewhere that allows you to get in a relaxing routine.

I am taking the test in a country I've never been to (it's the closest testing center to where I currently live!). The two weeks before the exam will be spent doing some really intense travel that I absolutely couldn't get out of (Indonesia -> Malaysia -> Vietnam -> Singapore, none on very long flights though, as I'm already in the region!). I'm in Singapore, where I'm taking the exam, for two days before the test itself, but that's not exactly a great deal of time to get in a routine.

Given that I'm going to be hopping around from one place to another, with waking hours and diet varying pretty substantially, does anyone have tips on how I should approach test day?

It's going to be hard to do full timed PTs on this schedule. I can do timed sections, hopefully.

Currently scoring 170-174, and aiming for a 173+ on the exam, so mostly looking towards perfecting LG and maintaining other sections as I skate into these next 20 days.

What do I do?

I have taken three prep tests and have the following results:

#1 152 - BR 162

#2 157 - BR 164

#3 157 - BR 169

Clearly the results are encouraging and I am improving. But is there a takeaway to be made if my BR is getting better but my score results didnt between test 2 and 3? I think it means that under pressured time constraints, I seem to perform lower than my potential. Is there anything else that can be deduced? If not, what should I focus on to get better on the initial test. Or does this get solved with more PT and more time? Thanks!

So my cold-diagnostic was a 151. Just finished the CC and took my first timed PT after completing it and I scored a 156. I know I messed up in RC by running out of time on the last passage, and one LG game threw me off which I can work on. I also am a bit rusty on LR since I haven't drilled LR for about 3 weeks while I finished LG and RC core curriculum stuff, so I missed a -9 on each LR section.

I got about 7 weeks to go before the July LSAT, if I just drill LR and LG while sprinkling in some RC, do y'all think I could realistically crack 160 by July/September? I plan on drilling LR 3 times a week and LG twice a week (which I can switch up depending on how well I'm doing in either).

Already have Legally Blonde down :)

and can you bring it to the LSAT?

I am trying to assess my readiness for the July exam, and want to know the range I should be scoring in if I want to get a 170 on the actual LSAT. I've heard people say +3 points from the score you are aiming for, but others say at least +5.

So when the proctor says "Put your pencils down", can I pick up my watch and reset the time on it? Or do I have to wait until the next section begins before doing anything with my watch?

Hey guys,

I'm taking the June test in 3 weeks, but I am still struggling with LG. :(

I've already foolproofed 1-35, and did 36-60 twice. But when I took timed tests this week, I'm still missing 5-6 questions. Granted, I've improved a lot from just couple months ago, when I missed like 8-9 questions. But I do want to prep my LG as much as I can for the upcoming June test.

Do you have any suggestions for last minute drilling in my case? I'm planning to take 2 PT's a week also.

Thank you and happy studying for June takers :)

Hello my fellow 7sagers.

I need opinions/advice. so I have been completing the 7sage cirrculum as per usual - currently STILL in the must be true Logical resoning section. I want to the write the september or Nov. lsat and im feeling like I should have started logic games section by now.

DO you reccomend I continue following the cirriculum order - and slowly go through LR as I currently am, and start logic games when I get there? orrrrr what if I started that section of cirriculum too and alternated between LR and LG studying 2 hours LR and 2 hours LG. or LR one day and LG one day? or is that too much brain fuckery? I thought it would help prevent burnout from one section (LR)....and also get me ready for LG. i study 4 hours max daily.. :(

I just feel like im going through the cirriculum slower than most and panicking I wont have enough time to improve on LG. since it is already June & I totally suck at them. BLAH. I'm also struggling with Must be True section of LR - feeling quite discouraged to even move forward. :(

any suggestions with regards to studying both sections or staying on one .. i feel like im moving at the pace of a turtle...

or any advice for the discouragement I feel :( with MBT Q's & continuing the cirriculum regardless..

thank you all

you're the best :)

Hi 7sage community,

I've been studying for the LSAT for almost a year now. Here's my history:

I took a 2.5 month course with Testmasters summer 2017 and studied for the December LSAT, scored a 161

I started studying again in January for the February LSAT and scored a 163.

(now) I started studying again in April for this upcoming June LSAT.

My target is 168 minimum, best case is low 170s. So:

Thanks so much for your help! Minor stressing recently..

I would like to practice family law in the NJ/PA area....is t14 worth it for this type of practice if i dont get a substantial scholarship?

I have hit the most literal plateau, and I take the test June 11 (also signed-up for July 23).

On my past FIVE tests I have scored a 167. No more, no less.

The good news is that this is my first time taking the test for real, so I think that a 167 is a fine score to have on record for my top choice schools (NYU, UofM, UC Berkeley). However, I'm so frustrated that I'm not pushing through to a 170+.

Each test I can feel the one section that does it to me - it is usually the second logical reasoning section... I go into it and feel fatigued looking at the questions/it is directly after break and I feel just out of it (-2 on first lr section, -6 on second).

Whenever I do logical reasoning outside of a PT, I get between -1 and -4, usually -1 to -3.

I feel like, at this point, I should be able to push above 170 for the real test in July (I hope). My blind reviews are consistently above 176. This plateau is just so frustrating. I also am hoping that the adrenaline rush on the day of the test might help keep me focused (usually adrenaline keeps me focused vs distracted).

I’m currently using the Premium pack and I was wondering if I should practice the older tests (37-58) first then use the newer ones (72-81) closer to the exam or vice versa? I obviously won’t go through all of them so I’m also trying to decide which specific tests I should use for PTing then keeping the extras for fool-proofing and experimentals.

Thanks!!

Hi All - I start my study schedule in a few weeks for the 11/17 exam and was looking through my schedule to week 16 and it states the following: "LSAT PrepTest 58, 59, 60, 61, - 3 lessons 3 hours".

Does this mean I am should be taking 4 full LSAT exams in one week? I have read folks taking one exam every week or maybe 2, but 4? Is my reading of the schedule correct?

Hello 7sagers,

I am trying to develop a collection of as many early preptests as I can so that I can practice understanding question types. I understand how to get the latests PTs , but I cant seem to find a few on amazon. I need preptets: 1-6, 8, 17, 39, and maybe many tests in the 40s. Am I missing something ? It seems like they do not exist . I want to give myself enough tests to practice with and I cant seem to find them in numerical order , if at all.

I've actually gotten better at managing my anxiety, however, any time I try meditation I can never focus hard or long enough. I always get too distracted, too bored, too side-tracked, etc. I know I'm making excuses, but I have really really tried to no avail. Can anyone help?

I just wanted to share a bit of good news because it never hurts - I just scored my first 174 on a 5 section, timed practice test! I started with a diagnostic of 155 in February 2017. For the past few weeks, I had been only scoring around an average of 168. Also, granted,this test was a retake, I took this PT in March 2017 and didn't BR at all and just tossed it aside after grading. This was during my stupid phase of "do as many PTs as possible" (10/10 would not recommend this). In short, this sudden increase has shown me what I am capable of. So thank you 7sage for providing such a comprehensive curriculum and thanks to all the community members for providing your expertise and support! Only excited for whats ahead. :)

What constitutes mature student? I’m referring to Canadian and American law schools. For some reason I thought it meant applying over the age of 25

Could someone explain Argument part and also tell me where JY talks about it in the content?

Hey everyone,

I'm not typically the person who turns to forums for help, but I am falling apart here and have no idea what else to do. After more than 30 PTs, my scores are not consistent. They have ranged anywhere from 161-175. I hit the high160s on my first few tests, and I was taken aback, and I thought there was only one place my scores could go, and that was up. But even now, after all of these tests, I still feel like I roll the dice every time I sit down to take one.

I always know when my score is going to be good. I feel good, my head is clear, and I have a killer instinct for most questions, especially in logical reasoning. But when I'm off, I know it, and things fall apart quickly. I'm unfocused, get frustrated, and second guess my answers. Sometimes I even struggle finishing a section. I have done everything to try and replicate the former state of mind (exercise, nutrition, rest, etc.), but nothing seems to keep me performing consistently.

My last 10 tests, taken about one day apart, were, respectively: 171, 164, 170, 164, 169, 163, 164, 171, 168, 175.

It's been quite discouraging and frustrating constantly going from a high score to a lower score. I have been studying since January, and I wanted to sit for the June exam, but I just couldn't because I am so inconsistent. I moved my test date to July in hopes of remedying this issue.

Should I allow a few more days in between my PTs? Has anyone experienced this type of issue?

All suggestions are welcome! Thank you so much.
