OKAY, I have been almost mastered my LG skills and have been getting the 100% with untimed pts (under 1 hour ). And most of the time, the wrong answers were from my small mistakes. HOWEVER, I am completely lost with LR & RC. Yes, maybe it is because my reading skills are sucks to comprehend or to make an inference from the passage? I can admit that I was never a reader, never really enjoyed reading, but what can I do ? I have no choice since I want to go to the law school and become a lawyer. I have been studying for almost 2 months, 5 days a week, almost 10 hours a day at the library, but LR and RC are killing me.... It's really painful to see myself just staring at the passages and not even understanding or cant even comprehend with the questions or answer choices.... I really believed that I have been studying so hard but I don't see any improvement on those two sections..

Any advice to save my poor life : (

Can someone please tell me a story where they took the diagnostic and scored like, low 130s, but after months of studying improved drastically? I read a forum of people taking the diagnostic and scoring over 155 and I just feel like crap right now haha. I realize some people are naturally gifted when it comes to the LSAT, and I am happy for them, but I am not one of those people. I'm really struggling here. Just BR an LR section and only got 11 questions right.

Feb LSAT takers, we're almost there!

I've been getting down on myself these last few days, because my LG is not where I want it to be just yet. And so naturally, I've been having another existential crisis. So I decided to sit down and write out how far I've come with my LSAT prep to motivate me to finish strong these next few weeks. It was really helpful, so I thought I'd start a thread so we could all celebrate our growth and keep moving forward.

I understand the LSAT. I know what to look for with each question type.

I finally started consistently scoring -3 in LR. Started off with -11, and this took months and months of work.

I have the stamina to finish tests.

I know how I learn best ( this is my biggest take away).

I can talk myself down from my anxiety in the middle of PT's.

My BR went from 159-178 in 9 months.

What have your takeaways been?

I finishing the LSAT Trainer and I am now deciding what to do next. I'm deciding between 7Sage and the Powerscore Bibles, but I'm leaning heavily towards 7Sage. Is it worth it to buy the Powerscore Bibles or should I just forgot about them and go 7Sage all the way? I'd love to hear about everyone's experiences with either.

from those of you who have already taken the lsat after completing practice tests. how close is your practice score to what you scored on test day?

i have heard that it is easier to make a higher score..anyone else know anything about this?

Went theough the LSAT course, took a preptest yesterday, and only scoring a 135. I felt confident in every section aside from logic games, but turns out I got everything wrong. Should i just go through the course from start to finish again? I was supposed to take the feb. lsat but I think i’ll be pushing it back to june.

Today a friend mentioned that headache you get after staring at a computer screen for a long time. Y'know, the one behind the eyes that makes you feel nauseous? This got me thinking about last semester, where I was taking five classes (all required extensive computer use), had a part time job (again, using computers), and working on 7sage (an online course). I would notice after long day of working on the computer, I was groggy and couldn't quite piece things together like normal.

My classes are about a fifteen minute walk from my apartment and I made it a priority to not look at or use technology while walking to class. No answering texts/emails. No listening to podcasts. Nothing. Just me, my thoughts, and my walk. And I think it truly helped.

Einstein would go for daily walks, no matter what. Getting moving not only helps, but so does having an "empty" mind. If you can, I recommend getting a walk in at least once a day. I noticed things on my campus that I've been walking past for three years now. Did walking alone allow me to score 20 points higher on my Dec. test? Nah. But I do think clearing my mind helped my studying. Now that I drive everywhere, I miss the freedom of letting my mind wonder on walks. If you notice yourself stagnating, try to get outside and move a little. Who knows, it may help.

I just took my first diagnostic test cold today and scored 144. I have a history of doing bad on standardized tests (nerves, lack of confidence, getting distracted, etc.) so I'm surprised that I even got a 144. I will be taking the September LSAT so I have quite a lot of time to improve. My top schools include BU, BC, Fordham, and GWU.

What do you guys recommend my first step be from here on out? I purchased the LSAT Trainer already and I am going to start the free trial on here before I upgrade. Any tips/advice/encouragement would be awesome!

I've been PTing for about a week now and it's not going great at all.

As soon as I turn on the timer or proctored app, I freeze up and can't even read the first question. I'll read and re-read it three times and then will lose 3 minutes because I was so out of it. I'm not sure what it is -- in university, I never got nervous before timed exams but we always had a decent amount of time to complete them, or at least I felt like I did.

I haven't been able to properly complete a PT because I'll just stare at the paper, lose a significant amount of time, and then stop the timer to get up and take a breather.

Does anyone have advice for how to chill out when taking a timed PT or how you went about doing it in a way that didn't stress you out?

What's your dream school? :)

For some reason, I still have access to test explanations even though my account has expired. Is this a bug? Also, it doesn't indicate that I'm a 7sage Ultimate+ Alumni even though my access has expired.

Problem solved... definitely human error on my part!

For the non-canooks out there, that is Toronto. That is our bread and butter. Our maple syrup and poutine. Our HYS. That is a dream of mine fulfilled.

I could have never done it without the sheer quality and brilliance of 7Sage. The guidance on this site is second to none. And that does not just concern LSAT training; I have never experienced any community with such a dynamic and character. It is truly inspiring to see what it has done and can do for prospective law students during their studies.

JY and co., I will forever remember my time as a 7Sager fondly. Thank you so much for providing the best service you possibly can. To the frequent chatters who made this community feel like home for 4 months, thank you as well. I'll have your usernames and profile pictures ingrained in my mind for years to come.

Best,

Does anyone know if there is a specific time frame as to when JY/7sage's explanations for the most recent LSAT will be out? I feel like that would be very helpful before the Feb.2018 exam.

I just signed up for the starter course and purchased the Sept 2017 test. I am still navigating everything so I was hoping someone can direct to where I can find the test I just purchased so I can print it out. Thank you!

I’ve have taken Kaplan’s online course and Testmasters. I honestly need human interaction with someone who gets logic reasoning and the reading comprehension. I’m on OSU main campus and want to know if there is a study group?

I know most thoughts are to use the most recent tests for PT's. But why is this? I know they got rid of the question type where you read a passage and answer two questions (LR), added a comparative RC passage, and have more if a rule changed/is added at the end of LG games, but this seems like a 5% difference. Is there any other compelling reason? I almost feel like since most people (including myself) will focus on the most recent tests, LSAC might use older tests to "recycle" for newer tests. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question: does if A then B otherwise not B translate into a biconditional? Thanks!

Hello all!

Just joined 7Sage and I'm happy to see that everyone is so positive and supportive! I'm graduating this June from UC Irvine and planning to test this September or November. I'm aiming to apply next cycle. Looking forward to studying and learning from y'all! Happy New Year and congrats to everyone who got into law school this cycle!

I am generally getting PT scores of 171~173. I really want to get a 175+ but I have no idea how I can get another 4~5 more questions right. Looking at what other people say, it seems like it might be up to sheer luck or being a super genius from the start. Should I just stop getting so stressed out and hope for good luck? Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve my score?
