Hi all!

I'm looking for a private tutor that can help me a bit more on some concepts within the exam. 7sage has been incredibly helpful and I'm planning on upgrading my membership to Ultimate - however, I would like to ask if anyone recommends/knows or is a private LSAT tutor in the Boston area?

Thank you for anyone who can help me & I wish everyone taking the LSAT tomorrow the best of luck!

I freaked out during the September test, specifically during RC where i got -13 and scored around 10 points below my PT average. I was worried I would never be able to do this test. I stayed clam this time and answered every single question to the best of my ability, and now i feel like this huge weight has been lifted off my back. I may have missed a few here and there, but i am confident there were no disasters. It's been a grueling 6 months of studying for this test, I'm so happy i got through and am actually looking forward to seeing my score.

I want to encourage anyone who did badly yesterday to not give up. You are fully able to get this test. Yesterday, at the end of the writing sample, someone next to me put down her pencil and I could see the tears starting to form around her eyes, it obviously didn't go well and i remember exactly what that felt like. The writing sample feels like half an hour of torture, and all you want to do is open up your test book and try again, or leave, anything but write about soybeans or telescopes. I wanted to encourage her, because i was there before, and my experience goes to show that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and i firmly believe that's true for anyone who puts the work in.

I had so many bad tests and discouraging moments studying for LG and then RC, feeling like i couldn't even write down the rules of a game or understand the main point of an easy passage, but i just kept studying and doing blind reviews over and over again, and things finally started to click. I did about 95% of the available questions, leaving only a few preptests between 1-7 untouched, that's what it took for me to have a good day. Thanks you to everyone in this community for sharing there difficult moments, they helped me find the motivation when i felt there wasn't much left. For everyone that knows yesterday wasn't there last LSAT, keep putting the work in, you got this.

**Seeing the results of the poll, I get that most people are recommending me to keep my score. Could someone explain why keeping the score is better than canceling for the second time? :o

But thank you all for participating in the poll! :')

Hi folks,

I'm basically in a mid-life crisis, panic zone here. Your help would be so greatly appreciated...

So, I just took the Nov 2018 LSAT. I think I did ok on the LR and RC but I really messed up on one of the games. The other three I had no problem with. But for one specific game about months (March-Nov), I could not understand what the first rule was saying. I was struggling to understand for about 8 minutes and ran out of time. Ultimately, I had to guess on four questions (I couldn't even make an educated guess sadly).

This is my fourth time taking the test. I canceled my last test which was on Sept so I only have two scores. My second score was a 165. Considering that I missed all four of those questions plus -6 on LRs and -6 or -7 on the RC, I would probably receive around a 165 or even lower on this test.

Do you think I should cancel this test (meaning this would be my SECOND CANCELATION which law schools hate) or do you think I should take the chance of just seeing how this score turns out? (even if that means getting a score that is below a 165).

Anyone have any feedback on testing centers in Colorado in the Denver/Boulder area? Has anyone taken the exam at UC Boulder and could provide feedback on their experience?

So I’ve tried blueprint’s in class course, and found that while it was great for helping me get into the 160’s, I couldn’t get any further. I also tried an online course with LSATMax, and didn’t improve much. I have been reading the powescore bibles and feel that I am grasping the concepts, but am not performing as well as I would like to. Both courses didn’t help me much in reading comp and just reading explanations from Manhattan prep and powerscore don’t seem to be doing it

I’m taking the test in January and do not want to take again. I just graduated from college and have spent a lot of my own money, and it honestly hasn’t helped. What should I do? I’ve watched your logic game videos and love them, so that’s why I’m asking you for advice

Hi! I think it would be awesome if, in the course, JY had like a 5-minute video we could watch the night before or day of the exam where he goes over big-picture tips to remember for each section of the exam and hypes us up to do kill it on test day. Idk why but I always feel more prepared to do a PT or timed section after watching him explain literally anything. Just a suggestion :)

What distracts you most while studying? What attempts do you make to stay focused and overcome distractions?

Lately I find myself checking for news on social media once I’ve worked through a problem set as a sort of break. I start to reach for my phone more and more and soon it becomes a distraction. Dang Facebook!

What happens now? What shows on my record ? I was in a car accident 2 days ago and although I've known for some time that I was going to withdraw from November, I stupidly waited and then forgot due to obvious circumstances. Now I'm freaking out.

Hey, what is everyone doing to try and improve speed on LG. It seems I can get through three and the fourth is always a fill in. I have in no way mastered the LG section and probably never will, but I have the basics down. It seems when I pick up speed I miss things.This also happens on RC sometimes. Thanks!!!

When I arrived at the testing center this morning, the proctors were MIA. 9AM rolls around and there are still no proctors. The representative of the university we were testing at called LSAC and they told her that the test would be officially postponed due to lack of proctors, and with that news, we all left the testing center. Has this happened to any of you before? If so, what options did LSAC give you to correct for the situation?

Hello there,

So I bought the LSAT starter and am about finished with the course and I want to upgrade to the LSAT Ultimate plus, but I see that I can only get 3 more months with that course. I should've bought that package to begin with as I didn't realize that I'd only get 3 more months with the course from upgrading. Should I keep extending the time of my course or re buy the entire course again? Which one is more cost efficient?

Starting back in January 2017 I began 7sage with a 144 diagnostic. The thousands of hours studying lead up to today, November 17th, 2018. The journey has been a roller coaster of emotions to say the least, but the feeling of walking into test day confident as ever made EVERYTHING worth it. 7sage continues to be the best course out there and the community is even better. Thanks to everyone in the webinars, to those who indirectly helped me by leaving comments/posts, to those who that gave me a good laugh after being stumped by a question, and, most of all, J.Y. Ping. I never thought this day would come so fast, but almost two years later and here it is!! I think I hit somewhere in the mid 160's today and I couldn't be happier.

Time to get those applications ready. I wish my very best for those of you studying, cheers!

The air quality in northern CA is bad and getting worse because of the fires. Does anyone know if LSAC is going to do anything about that this Saturday? I'm testing at College of Alameda. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow to see what's going on. Maybe we'll just have to test while wearing masks...

I'm reapplying with my low 170s score this year, already getting much more favorable results just on the basis of applying early vs. late. With most of the pressure of initial decisions hopefully being alleviated by Dec./Jan., do you all think it would be worth it to retake a score that is already at/above median for all of my target programs? GPA is above 75th everywhere.

Mostly, I would be retaking for a shot at maximizing scholarship offers or getting a late admittance if I end up WLed at a target school. I've only been studying on and off since I took the exam last February, but I'm fairly confident I could get 175+ on a retake, especially without the added nerves of admissions decisions hinging on the score.

What do you all think? Is it worth the stress of 3 more months of study for what may or may not increase $$$ or get me off a WL? The scholarship/WL game just seems so uncertain...

Any input from someone in a similar dilemma would be much appreciated!

Are there any supplemental sources you suggest? I've been looking at getting either the LSAT Trainer or the Manhattan LR but was not sure which one would be best fit. My weak areas are Flaw Method of Reasoning Questions, MSS, and NA/ Pseudo NA questions. I've went back to the CCs but still feel like I'm not completely grasping these question types. I would appreciate any advice! Thanks!

Hey guys,

I took a BluePrint course 2 years ago and have used the free analog watch that I got during the course for 2 adminstrations of the LSAT with no problems (1 of which was the Dec 2017 LSAT). I'm scheduled to take the test again tomrrow, 11/17, and didn't think this watch would be any issue again, but I just saw that there have been some new restrictions on which watches are acceptable during the test. Since it looks like they implemented these new rules in June 2017, and I had no issue using my watching in Dec 2017, I'm hoping this isn't an issue but does anyone have more recent experience with using the BluePrint watch (or any similar watches) during a more recent administration?

Here's a link with a pic of the watch, if you haven't taken BluePrint, or haven't seen what theirs looks like before: https://blueprintlsat.com/lsatblog/lsat/my-best-lsat-advice-watch-it/

Thank you all in advance, and good luck to anyone else taking the test tomorrow!

How long will it take it improve?

Hi guys,

I have been studying for the LSAT for 2-3 months now on my own. I am doing well, but I really want to take it to the next level. I am taking the November LSAT in a few days and I know for sure that I would like to take it again in the future. However, 7sage will be my partner this time around. How much time should I plan to study? If I aim to take the test again in June 2019, is that an ideal test date if I start Ultimate Plus on December 1st?

I've FP'ed all the games up to this point, and I didn't do TOO badly on this game, but it definitely tested me pretty hard. The other three games were extremely standard so they weren't a problem. Are these games (like Game 3) worth focusing on, or are they so unique it will be difficult to carry anything substantial forward from them? I know JY said there were several games in PT 1-35 that are no longer very applicable, and I'm wondering if that goes for any of the games in 35 and up.

Some of these explanations are so long, verbose, and full of stuff that's not relative that I'm having a hard time paying attention. JY is all over the place. Do I really need a nine minute video for two minutes of information?

Hi Everyone! I came across a some most drill in a LSAT text book which ended up having some trouble with. I thought I would post the question here and get some feedback.

Drill:

Most of the dishes at Oldies Diner are unhealthy and most are offered on special during luncthime. The dishes on special come with the customers choice of free fries or a free soda. All of the dishes offered on special are written up on the chalkboard.

From this information I was able to come up with teis inference:

Oldies most Special---> Chalkboard

The question states "True or False, most of the dishes on the chalkboard are on special".

The answer is true but I am unable to understand why. Thanks in advance! #help

My gpa is 3.66 and I am aiming for the T14, so I have decided to delay a cycle to test in June! I am asking for strategies to go from 161 to 170+. The highest BR I have had so far is 170. How exactly should I study and improve? What tips do you have?

When I open 7Sage, make it so it doesn’t close my damn music! Lol this might be a problem unique to me, but it’s been a problem forever!
