Hey all,

Before 7sage, I studied with another program and exhausted through PT's 60-80. (not all of them were used as full length PT's, some were used for timed sections).

How reliable will my scores for PT 60-80 be since it will be the second time I look at the questions? It's been a year since i've looked at PTs 60-80, so I'm hoping my mind wont recall everything 100%, and maybe the scores I receive the second time around could be somewhat reliable.

Not sure if this fact will help at all.. but I was getting like 145-150 on those PT's (lol) and 50% on the sections. (yeah i know, what a waste of PT's)

Any thoughts?

What is your strategy for the order in which you do the RC passages? Do you do them as they are presented? Most questions first? Saving science/art/etc for last? Start with the comparative? Something else? I’m curious!

Hey everyone - I plan on taking the November lsat (non negotiable lol) and apply for the upcoming cycle. I don’t need massive gains I already took the exam in July . But I do need to up my score. What type of schedule/ hours per week would you use for studying? I’ve been

Studying for awhile so it seems like I’m burning out faster ... I’m thinking of knocking out my applications then getting back to the lsat. So I don’t have that on the back burner (due November 1st) .

Anyone have any advice on how to close the gap between those two scores by November? Logic Games is the quickest to improve on. I have only done about 10% of the curriculum. Would it be better to jump right into practice tests or to finish the curriculum?

So, as a military spouse, I am always at the mercy of the Air Force. We live in Japan, and are scheduled to leave here in May 2019. We had intended to move back stateside, and it would be our last base, since my husband is nearing retirement. We just found out that we will be going to Germany instead. I'm super excited - we love Germany, and lived there before. But what now? I am registered for the October LSAT in Tokyo, and I still plan to take it. It does take some pressure off, since I now have additional (like 4 years) to retake and get it right before law school applications. However, I want to make the best use of my time over the 4 years we will be in Germany. My previous education and experience has all been in English and teaching. I see this move as an opportunity to move into something else - but what? I'm even debating getting a JM or perhaps an MBA. I don't know what to do! Help, please! What do I do in these years to stay on track towards law school and continue building a strong application?

Hey everyone,

I'm taking the LSAT on Saturday, and the reading section has been a constant thorn in my side throughout this whole process. I find it extremely frustrating that I've had a reading section similar to this on every standardized test since the third grade, but consistently miss questions on RC. I understand that the LSAT is much harder in difficulty, but nonetheless the idea is the same.

I've tried a few different warm-up methods such as reading another LSAT passage, and science articles, but RC was still consistently my worst section.

Recently, I've started reading extremely old material (think KJV Bible or Shakespeare) as a warmup and it has helped a ton. I now frequently am going -0 on most passages, a noticeable change from an average of about -1.5 per passage. My last timed PT I had a personal best -2 RC.

I think I've read somewhere else that Shakespeare helps, so maybe some of you do something similar. Maybe it's not the difficulty of translating the old style of English that is helping my score, but rather that I am warming up with material that I enjoy. Just wanted to share what has helped me, good luck to everyone testing this weekend!

Hey guys,

I'm prepping to take the November LSAT and I'm starting to enter the final stretch crunch mode, so I was considering trying to find a private LSAT tutor to get in a few high intensity sessions before the test. For a bit of background, I have taken the LSAT twice now (my first score was okay and I ended up cancelling my second test score). I am planning to apply this cycle, but I also work full time so I was thinking that working with someone one on one might help me maximize my potential as best as I can before test day. Does anyone have any personal experience and/or advice on whether working with a private tutor in my position would be useful?

Also, does anyone happen to know of any private LSAT tutors in Long Island, New York that I could check out? I would really prefer someone that I would be able to work with in person and preferably in Long Island, but considering the stakes, I am not opposed to meeting in the city if need be.

Thanks!

Is anyone else having issues printing out practice tests? They keep coming out blurry and illegible. Haven't encountered this problem before. Problem sets are still clear when printed, which is odd.

edit***

saving as pdf prior to printing fixed the issue.

Looking to compile a good pre 1l reading list- what are some the best books to read before starting 1l? Any suggestions? I’m also specifically looking for a book that clearly explains the basic structure of the United States legal system.

Hello everyone, I’ve been having some conversations with various people in the legal field / students and we got talking about mental health. Don’t think if you’re a high achiever that you’re immune to stress / other symptoms of mental illness. It’s important to learn strategies and get help if needed early on ; the lsat is one part of the journey to becoming a lawyer. It’s ok to ask for help. Journal, write , paint , dance do whatever you need to do to feel at ease (besides harmful self destructive behaviour).

I'm really trying to pretend that nobody is having fun on Labor Day weekend while I study. Anybody else ruining a good 3-day with logic games?

Just for some fun lol and a thread to help people vent. Do you think some people bluff about their pt’s when taking to classmates and friends?

Say someone was a bad boy pothead athlete in high school and broke his high school sweethearts heart. He wasn’t doing anything seriously bad just skipping school and smoking pot and getting bad grades. He gets his act together and gets into a top law school...would that change you mind about someone? Not at all suggesting anyone go to law school to prove a point to an ex or anything but just asking if someone resolved to attend a top law school because that’s what he or she wanted then have they seriously redeemed themselves?

It's from like two years ago but I did read it in the future comments that it was uploaded somewhere does anyone know where I can find it?

I was recently browsing a few law schools websites in anticipation of applications opening tomorrow. Interesting to note, Northwestern lowered their early decision scholarship to $120,000 from $150,000 over 3 years. Tuition is $64,102 per year and tuition will be increasing each year. The deal doesn't seem as sweet as it was a few years back. I also noticed that Berkley increased their early decision scholarship to $75,000 from $60,000 over 3 years.

Good luck to everyone taking the September LSAT

“Breaking news! The combined volume for June, July, and September on this date is down 4.9% compared to June and September last year.”

I swear they just recently had a blog post about how there are going to be more applicants and more lsat takers this year??

Any thoughts?

I scored 170 on my last preptest (75)!!! -1/-2 on each LR, -3 on LG, -4 on RC! (-10 for 170 sadly) Theres no purpose to this post, I'm just excited all this studying has paid off! 168 was my previous best a few days ago I ddint think a 170 would ever happen, I diagnosticed at 151. 10 weeks of full time studying at 7 sage brought me up like 15 points! Woot!

I've been studying for the LSAT for a couple of months and I feel like I've run out of fuel, so I just wanted to ask how do you guys recharge? Im sorry, I'm sure this has been asked hundreds of times before but a little more motivation can't hurt.

Hi all!

The LG game section has always been my best one during PTs and I always get max 1-2 wrong. However, during my actual recent LSAT for some reason I totally messed the section (as in I got more than half wrong!!). I think it was a combination of nerves and because the games are becoming slightly more weird/less traditional in the recent LSATS.

Did anyone else experience this struggle in their LSAT experience? At this point I feel like I almost maybe overstudied the games and whenever a rule feels new or different now I freeze and mess the whole game up. I also feel like being nervous affects my games section the most because its easy to mis diagram or something?

Please let me know if you went through something similar and/or have tips to master the LG games :)

Thanks so much!!

I was just wondering if anyone has taken all LSAT practice exams? I am planning to take June's 2019 LSAT test but I still believe that it will be very hard to complete all those exams. I am planning to start taking practice tests in December since I believe that by then I would have learned everything from 7sage and I also think I will take 2 quarters off of school since I am ahead in units. So ill have 6 months to take a practice test every other day, and I was wondering if anyone has done that and if that is doable. Also incase things don't go as planned, is it possible to take a practice test everyday or is that just overkill?

Hey everyone! What should be done on the day before the LSAT? I've heard that it's a big no-no to study, but wanted to hear your thoughts.

Additionally, what should you do the morning of?

Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to drill inference questions in RC. Is it possible to pull up a list of inference RC questions/passages that have inference questions?

All of the tags I see in the question bank relate to the subject of the passage, whereas I can tell from analytics that each question is broken down by type somewhere on 7Sage. Thanks!

Hi all,

Just wondering as I have seen other threads address this; how accurate are the 7sage preptest scores? I have been scoring consistently in the high 160s and when I did PT 82 I bombed it. Very shocking and scary as I am taking the September 2018 LSAT in less than 2 weeks and am scoring where I was scoring before I started studying.

That being said, I have seen other threads talking about the difficulty of PT 82, mainly the judicial candor RC passage so maybe this was a particularly tough PT???

Should I take the 7sage score as the 'real' score so to say or is it slightly lower than the official scoring chart that the official LSAC preptests give.

Thanks!

I only have a minor allergy to ragweed, but it's been hitting me pretty hard. I had to pause several times a section during my last PT just to blow my nose.

I sorely hope that my symptoms have quelled slightly by next Saturday as I don't want to be the guy sniffling throughout the entire test, nor do I want to waste my own time by constantly blowing my nose.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Should I take a pill the night before as I'm heading to bed and once again upon waking?

Good luck to everyone in the home stretch.
