Has anyone saved a list of medium-difficult referential phrasing LR questions (especially forward-pointing referents) and/or multi-clause sentences that use referential phrasing? I'm trying to hone this skill and would love to help put together a list so others can do the same.

51.3.23 is a good one for starters, would love the help, thanks!

Hey guys, I have a question.

This is something I'm incredibly scared about and this is for both my LSAT and I guess undergrad in general?

I get extremely unmotivated to work for it. Life just gets really stale for me that I don't feel like doing the LSAT, even though it's so essential to my Law School dreams and a big determinant!!

What tips or advice do you guys have for combating this, because it'll really help me alot!

Thank you so much! >

I unfortunately underachieved on my November LSAT. Realistically I think I'm going to be looking at waiting until next cycle, but I've been advised to throw a few applications at a couple of T-14 reach schools as there isn't much of a downside. My one worry is that I'm interested in public interest work and so was hoping to get some scholarships. The prospect of paying sticker price isn't super appealing and I'm worried that even if I do beat the odds and get in the money still might not make sense this cycle. My question is, how much would it hurt your chances next cycle to be admitted somewhere but decide not to go and then reapply? I was advised that as long as you wrote them a nice note it shouldn't be a big deal but I can't help but thinking a school might look sideways at you if you were to reapply after already getting in. Any insight is appreciated.

Any 7sagers out there with the elusive perfect score?

I was wondering how different tier 1, 2, and 3 law schools are academically. Will a t-14 school typically be more difficult than a tier 2 school. If so, how large is the difference? Or is the difficulty level similar, and the prestige is what sets these schools apart? Do people sometimes choose schools based on their teaching styles and how demanding the work load will be? Would it be smart to attend a tier 2 school where you think you can excel, or a top law school where you know you will be overwhelmed.

Hi guys,

I plan on following 7sage lesson plan all the way through. My question is can I/should I start with an earlier PT version?

For example, the first PT is from 2007(forget the number) in the 7sage lesson, but I have already bought tests going back to 1999 and plan on taking them all. I know you should work forward only with PTs and am thus wondering if I can start with 1999 and coincide it with the 7sage lesson. Starting from 2007 PTs may not be enough testing for the score I want and from where I'm at is my reasoning for this.

Sorry if that doesnt make sense.

Thanks,

Hi! I have been noticing lately that I miss most of my points on easy games (1 game) and not the hardest LR (8-15) questions. So far, RC is my best part given I have seen them before from PTing, but the same should hold for LR and LG. I am currently going back to the basics and drilling LR and LG by type, but I feel like it has more to do with my mentality than skills.

Anyone encountered that before and managed to break that? Would love to hear any advice.

Stats (average): LG -1~3, LR -5~-7, RC -0~-2

Many thanks!

hi all,

while I did see other posts asking which is better between 7sage/powerscore, I am not sure what preparation stage the other members were at when asking their question.

For me, so far, I consider myself to be still learning the fundamentals. So far, I have read the trainer and bibles. While they have helped me tremendously in reducing incorrect answers when I drill untimed, i feel that I am still not being able to apply what I learn properly.

For instance, on LR, I feel like i don't have much of a problem understanding the lessons about what flaws are, what needs to be looked for, what causes an argument to be come strengthened, etc. However, when I do actual questions, my greatest struggle is not in knowing what to look for, but rather in being able to understand how to apply lessons to actual LSAT questions. Similarly, I feel that I am still missing questions untimed on RC.

while i have read the bibles so far, i don't think I mastered them...I read them rushed when I didn't know exactly when I would take the exam, so i am cosidering reading them again. I wanted to ask that given my weakness specifically in having a shaky foundation, do you guys suggest self studying again(first attempt at this was not as serious as my full potential) with powerscore/manhattan and then 7sage for polishing or 7sage for foundation?

I know that drilling is good for building foundation and ingraining the correct thought process which is what i plan to do intensely regardless of which one i go with..I just am looking for the course that better teaches the though processes so i can better apply them to drills. I also have all the practice tests so I don't find it helpful to join a course just because of all the preptests..mainly looking for the one that teaches the techniques better so that i can apply them more properly!!

Thanks so much

Hey guys! Those of you who are practicing the LSAT, what type of small-term rewards are you guys using to reward yourselves when you guys reach a new practice test benchmark/jump?

For example, do you guys eat ice cream, or take a break from the LSAT for a day? Or what? I'm just curious what short-term goals/rewards you guys set for yourselves.

Thank you!

Hey Everybody,

This is my first post and I just completed my first PT. I was told recently that the official switch for the new LSAT format will be after July 2019. I am curious on thoughts about studying towards the September 2019 (or later) exam. Should I not be printing any PTs out and just using scratch paper to simulate test day conditions? I realize now my head will be swiveling up and down quite a bit, so maybe I should start putting in reps?

Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Curious to hear from the 7Sage community about BR strategy. Not sure if I need to go back to the CC to get a better grasp on it, but hoping people could provide constructive criticism to my approaches- I feel good about my BR approach for RC and LG, but not so for LR.

LR: Do you do the whole section over again and do it untimed (while being mindful of questions that are taking longer than 1:25) or only the questions you got wrong and circled? I usually do the latter, but I wanted to see if anyone has benefited from the former or another approach. I want to get the most I can out of PTs, but I do not want to spend so much time BRing to the point where the additional time I put in does not improve my learning.

RC: I read the passage and type out MP, purpose, tone, viewpoints, structure and paragraph summaries in a word doc and do the questions and then watch JY's videos to compare passage analysis and question approach.

LG: I usually just try and do the section again without watching the videos (and try to finish the games under timed restraints) and if I am really stuck I will go to the video to point myself in the right direction. After the section is done, I watch the videos to see how I could improve game board set up and how I can better approach questions (eliminate ACs quicker and developing instincts to test one AC over another).

Hi guys! I am PT ing in the mid 150's (157, 156, 155, 153) but my Br is always mid to high 60s! Time is my WORST enemy. For some reason, my actual score has decreased while my BR has increased. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Do you think it's realistic to have a goal score of 163? I am planning on taking the test in March and June. Any suggestions as to how I should ramp up my studying in the mean time? I really really need to hit the 160's!

Hi all,

I was just wondering how people would advise BR-ing an official test? It's been so long and I don't remember much from the test, nor have I looked at the questions I got wrong (specifically discussing november administration). Would it be better to take it as a timed test and then BR it extra carefully, afterwards checking what I missed in the official test, or to just BR the whole test? Or is there some third method that's best advised?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi everyone,

This past June I took my first LSAT, and didn't do well. I underestimated how hard the exam would be, and tried to cram studying for it. I made the decision at the beginning of this semester (August) to quit studying for the LSAT, and to keep my GPA up. As of two weeks ago, I graduated from college. Since then, I have enrolled in the course, and started CC. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions/comments/advice about how to take on learning CC? Maybe something you would do differently? Or something that worked for you? Anything helps, and thanks in advance!

hi..does anyone know who i should contact to request a refund? I emailed the admin and have not yet received a reply. Thanks !!

Hi everyone,

I would like some advice on what I should do. I am registered for the January 2019 test, which is 1 month and 11 days away. I have yet to reach my goal score of 165 on a PT. I have taken 8 PTs (1per week) since I completed the CC, my score breakdown is as follows:

PT37: Actual - 152 BR: 166 (RC:-6, LR:-12, LG:-11 LR:-10)

PT38: Actual - 154 BR: 171 (LR:-9, LG:-9, RC:-9, LR:-9)

PT39: Actual - 158 BR: 165 (LG:-7, LR:-10, RC:-7, LR:-8)

PT40: Actual - 155 BR: 165 (LR:-6, LG:-5, LR:-13, RC:-10)

PT41: Actual - 156 BR: 166 (LR:-10, LG:-7, LR:-8, RC:-8)

Then I decided to skip to the modern tests to give myself the best shot at a potential January LSAT

PT73: Actual - 151 BR: 166 (RC:-14, LR:-8, LG:-10, LR:-10)

PT74: Actual - 150 BR: 165 (LR:-8, LG-14, RC:-13, LR:-9)

PT75: Actual - 152 BR: 167 (LR:-13, RC:-11, LR:-8, LG:-8)

Right now I am trying to adapt to the perceived heightened difficulty of the newer exams, particularly in RC (although I need to make improvements across the board). Was it a bad idea to skip from PT42 to 73?

My rational for wanting to test in January is as that I am an anxious test taker and feel like experiencing the real test will allow me to be more relaxed if I have to retake (probable). Also, since most law schools only care about the highest score and there is no limit to how many times one can test, I feel like I might as well try.

I am also registered for March 2019 and plan on taking June and July if need be.

I work part time while studying for the test and will continue to do so until I reach my target. My daily study schedule looks like this:

7 days a week:

from PTs)

This makes it all the more discouraging as my score has gone down, but I'm confident I will reach my goal eventually.

I feel as if the majority of my missed points stem from sacrificing accuracy in the name of trying to get 2 passes at the questions in LR. When I take a fresh PT I usually get to the last question in 29-30 minutes, but have rushed through and doubtless circled too many questions to review the rest in 5 minutes.

Should I take January to get the real "game-day experience" and hopefully feel more relaxed when I go for a re-take or do I postpone? My gut says to take a shot.

Any advice is appreciated.

Hey Everyone, I've got a friend who's pondering studying for the LSAT. Was wondering if you guys/gals might know a short introductory article or video that would help better explain this exam?

Hi everyone,

I have a bunch of untouched older material (PT 1-18, 29-35) that I planned to utilize for my January retake. Am I shooting myself in the foot for studying from these older PTs/would I be better off retaking newer PTs?

Would love any advice y'all can provide. Thanks!

Hi, I've been trying to avoid using phones or other electronics except for my basic kindle, but now have a problem with proctor since it seems like I can't put mp3 files in the basic Kindles anymore.

Does anybody know of a lsat proctor on audible?

I’ve seen comments here and there about gulc being like a law school scam and they game their numbers by having such a large class size. NAALP data looks good though unless I’m reading it wrong.

Just got invited to a group interview, nice to have some movement on my apps.

Hi everyone! I know this sounds like an oxymoron, but is there such a thing as a family-friendly law job? Thanks!

Just wondering if there is any one in the downtown area in NYC city wanting a study partner or study goup. Let me know if interested. I am planning on taking January Lsat and we can all meet in the library.

My LSAT journey is starting to feel long and it is still not over. I'm aiming for a 170 or higher. And I've been studying on and off the LSAT since July 2014. One day I will do an AMA with JY about this journey. I've done Powerscore course, I've self study, but it wasn't until I discovered 7sage last year after my first take in Dec 2017, a 153, that I upped my game. So I studied everyday, did the CC, Foolproof 1-35, took PT where I ranged from 156 - 172, but I was averaging PT of 163 by September and even scores a 172 in Sept so I signed up for November, got a little pressured by my study partner, who scored a 167 in September when we had originally thought to take it but I didn't feel ready, especially not for my goal of 170 or higher. I took November and got a 159. I was blown. I was expecting at least a 160, and I changed a little strategy, not that it matters, my letter of the day was C instead of my usual letter D, did the math, I would have had 163 if I chose D, but anyway. I took a 5 weeks off and I'm ready to get back to study. I need advice by Sage or anyone where to start. Timing is an issue for me, I usually get 84% correct of what I complete, but I usually leave about 7-10 questions to random guessing. I've got grit, and I know I'm going to get this +170, just need some advice and encouragement before I continue the journey.

Hey everyone! So I am looking to take the LSAT for the second time this coming January. I took the November LSAT and scored a 145, which I know is not too great. I did self study and I am quite scared to take this again and end up with the same score. I don't know which direction I should go in. My goal is learn and study as much as possible to raise my score to the 150s. If anyone has any advice or recommendations, I would really love to hear them!

Happy Holidays and Thank you!
