After hearing testimony after testimony on the benefits of combining both The LSAT Trainer ("Trainer") and 7Sage strategies, I finally went out and purchased the Trainer. I already purchased the the 7Sage Ultimate+ package and plan on taking the Nov 17th LSAT.

For those that have employed both programs in their study regimen, what have you found to be the most effective approach in managing these 2 methods? Would you advise reading the Trainer book in its entirety before diving into 7Sage? What have people typically used Trainer and 7Sage for? I heard that Trainer has a solid approach for RC and LR flaw questions and 7Sage for LGs and the balance of the LR question types. Do people generally agree with this?

Not sure how to juggle these two approaches in the most timely and effective manner nor what to use each for. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi - I am reviewing a few videos and they pause and start, pause and start. Specifically, the videos pause for about a minute or two, then start for about 10 seconds and then pause again for another minute or two! Its so annoying! I haven't been able to watch a full video. My internet is running fine - kids on it and no problem for them. I am using chrome and cleared my cache but the videos are still pausing. Please help. I need to finish several videos today.

My computer (15 in macbook pro - about 3 years old) fans every time I do certain things on the 7sage website (ie watch many videos in a row). I use google chrome.

I shut down my computer regularly, quit out of unnecessary tabs and applications (to the point that this website is the only thing open). Any suggestions? I purchased a stand for my laptop that has cooling fans, though sometimes my computer will still fan.

Edit: I've FPed the LG Bundle, but I'm considering going through it again before coming back to new LG sections. Thoughts?

Since finishing the CC I've done 7 PTs, with a 170.7 first take average and a ~175 BR average.

Section splits: -1.9 LR, -2.7 LG, -3 RC.

For LR there's no particular Qtype that's messing me up, and I think I'm getting the hang of RC now. However, LG has always been my weak point, and I just went -6 on my most recent PT (LG section rated easier).

I'm currently doing 2 PTs/week, but I want to bump it up to three while continuing to foolproof LG. My rationale is that that would give more exposure to new questions (instead of drilling old material) and experience under test day conditions.

Is there a reason I shouldn't be too impatient and instead take my time, maybe go back and drill some older LR sections? Or is it okay to go ahead with the PT number bump?

When are you guys planning to work out during law school? Morning, afternoon, evening? I was thinking of doing a 3-day a week full-body workout regimen consisting of deadlifts, squats and bench. What kind of workout plan will you guys follow?

So I may be overthinking this process, but whats the proper way to send a LOCI. Do i attach it in the email as a doc x, pdf, or copy/paste into the body of the email. Also are these suppose to be double spaced or single spaced?

How's everyone doing in their MM brackets? Am I the only one who has NM state beating Clemson? I also had Buffalo, so... before we doubt the stats, I'm curious to see what any of y'all are up to

I can't tell whether its law school admissions, or the fact that I still have a perfect bracket, that's causing me more anxiety...

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted here in a very long time. I got accepted into my top choice/the school where I currently live (thank you 7 sage) and got a small scholarship offer. I'd like to try and negotiate for more money, but the problem is, I didn't apply anywhere else. I have nothing to compare my offer to. I figured if I didn't get in I'd sit out a cycle and try again. My numbers are both above the school's 75th percentiles. How should I go about asking? Should I even bother? Not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum, I'm sorry if I didn't!

Thanks!!

Hello 7sagers!

So I had planned to do the November LSAT, but now I am thinking of doing the January one. I have been studying since December. So doing the November test would actually put me right there at the advised one year mark but something tells me I might need that extra bit of time. So now I'm just wondering in terms of getting admitted, how disadvantaged I'd be to do the Jan LSAT? I'm really shooting for a 170, so if I did get that, am I right to assume I wouldnt be that disadvantaged even though I'd be applying pretty late in the cycle?

Thanks guys,

L

My boss wrote me a good letter of rec for law School and her birthday is coming up on Tuesday. I have a few books I think she may enjoy. Since she’s my current boss, would a book (or any gift past a card) be inapparoriate to give? I sent her a thank you card for the letter but she also gave me a huge (monetary wise) gift for Christmas and of course wrote my law school letter. She’s only been my boss for 1.5 years at this point. The book I’m thinking of giving her is technology related (close to her field)

I have just receieved a full tuition offer from a law school ranked outside of the top 100 nationally however this school is well regarded in its region and is relatively close to where I live. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello!! I have over a year to study and try to reach my ideal score. I have the LSAT Trainer but haven’t started. I’d like to try 7sage. Would you recommend the Starter for basics and then upgrade as needed or read through the Trainer first?

My concern is I can only afford the Starter right now, so if it would make sense to wait I can do that as well.

Thank you in advance!!

I'll start:

That's from two storms over the course of three days. There was no snow on the ground five days ago.

So, what does it look like where you live?

:D

When folks on this forum reference their progress through the CC, does this generally include the full range of problem sets"

I ask because my method thus far has been to only complete 1-3 of these sets for each section, in order to preserve some of these for later drilling. Furthermore, I'm wondering your thoughts on how important it would be to complete the FULL CC (including all the problem sets) before begining to PT?

Again my whole reasoning for saving the problem sets was to preserve them after I discover my weaknesses via PT'ing.

Thanks!

I've been studying for a really long time. I assume I'm burnt out because things that are "easy" are becoming really really really hard. I cannot focus and I get furious when I'm done drilling a section. I'm missing way more questions in LR than I have in REALLY long time. Frankly, I'm fucking mad at this test right now and I know that feeling that way isn't helping. I want to take a break, but I don't know what to do during the break and it's making me anxious. Should I just take a break from LR and work on games or RC. Should I work on like law school essays or something? My schedule is such that I work part-time as tutor M-Th 3-7pm and I don't like the idea of just being lazy and waking up late and waiting for work to start. What do I do? How long of a break should I take? Please save me from myself lol

Would it be possible if we could delete past posts and comments?

Interesting article about how successful comedians perfect their craft...all I could think while reading the article was how similar it is to effective LSAT preparation.

Irvine please respond to me! Lol

Is there any way to aggregate and then print questions from different preptests on a single document? I'd really like to create a workbook of questions I get wrong for use at a later date but am not sure how to organize those questions.

Thanks

Has anyone ever been in the initial review completed- no decision made situation ? It also states that the decision will be made later in cycle. This confuses and frustrates me, since it's my top choice school.

Quick question: what's the difference? Also do you address a director as "dean" like if someone's title is "Assistant Director of Admissions Barney Purple" Do you say "Dean Purple"?
