After completing the CC, how long do you recommend the PT/BR process be? I know some of you might say until you are PT'ing higher than your desired score, but on average, how much time is needed/recommended?

Ive noticed that red pencil crayons stand out more when highlighting reading comprehension passages. Are we allowed to bring them into the lsat test centre for this purpose?

Hi,

I am trying to register for LSAT in Asia for October as I will be there starting next month.

However, I cannot find October date to pop up during the registration process.

Does anyone experience same problem?

Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this, or maybe it's an android only issue, but did you guys know that when you turn on the proctor app it stops the video recording? Either that or I really do forget to hit record that many times :joy: In all seriousness, this is not the issue because I tested it out.

Hello, thanks for all the people at a great community in 7Sage and J.Y., I recently broke 170 for the first time.

I was really surprised because I've been constantly scoring in the range of 163 and 166.

I might have been just very lucky although I hope it was not.

However, whatever I do, my blind review score does not go above 173 and I am wondering if it is possible to improve my BR score and how anybody succeeded in doing so if it is possible. I am feeling like 173 is the max score I can get and although I would be very happy with that score, I am just hoping that I can score better on the PTs because I usually tend to score worse on the PTs than in real exams due to anxiety and etc. I tried reviewing all question in LR and RC sections regardless of whether the questions were circled or not, but I still got 173.

Thank you so much in advance for all your help!

Hi is there anyone who is certain of the answer to this question -

when reapplying to the same school that you didn't get into the first time, can you submit the same letters of references and personal statement, if the only issue was your lsat score so you're reapplying with better score and that's it? I've been out of school a long time and LOR's were really hard to come by

NYU announced today that starting with this academic year, all medical school students will attend tuition free. Not need based or merit-based ... Free!! Tuition last year was $56K but officials said it was discouraging people from attending or selecting certain specialties. Is there any chance that NYU will do this for their law school??

So today July Lsats came out and I hope everyone has met their expectations! Everyone on this site works their butts off, y'all deserve the best

I scored well below my average PT scores,from 163 average down to 155. I'm hoping it was first time nerves that got to me (the first LR section freaked me out). But this result has got me wondering, should I take the septemeber or novemeber Lsat?

I havnt really been practicing since the July exam, and I am registered for the Septemeber exam. Im more than willing to buckle down for the next 4 weeks. However Ive also been considering taking the exam in novemeber?

My target score is the high 160s, and Im not sure what a realistic expectation for achieving that score is at this point. Would taking both exams be a bad idea?

Hello, this is for anyone who knows about accommodated testing. I am scheduled to take the test in September and I just found out that my test is on September 11 instead of the 8th. I spoke with the test center supervisor and she said they have to spread out the tests for different accommodations which is understandable. My question is will I be taking a different test than everyone else? I asked the supervisor and she said she doesn't know any details about the test. I thought about contacting LSAC but it's really not that big of a deal, I am just curious. I didn't anticipate taking it on a different day so I just want to know if I should also expect to take an alternative test. Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone- wanted to get advice on how people got out of the lsat slump / burnout . I took a break after the July lsat but it turned into a vacation lol (not literally). I took on a job on the side so I’m also factoring that in with the recent slump. Need to retake in November.. any advice is appreciated

Hey guys,

I just upgraded to 7sage ultimate+.

It unlocked a bunch of questions for the LR and I just began doing logic games more specifically I’m on sequencing games with a twist.

At what point should I be doing timed sections and how should I review LR while I move on to logic games and reading comp?

Thanks.

I've been studying full-time for the past month and a half and began studying casually using the powerscore books and LSAT Trainer in early June. I'm relatively new to 7Sage but have been relying on the LG videos a ton and found them to be so helpful.

I had initially planned to sit for the September exam but with only three and a half weeks remaining, I'm positive I'll have to postpone until November. In my last five exams, I've scored 165, 162, 162, 161, and 160. My LG has become much stronger, as I missed between 0 and 3 on each exam. But I'm concerned because RC and LR are both really weak, and I've always heard the easy gains are in LG. In early practice exams I would miss no more than 5 questions on RC, but I've regressed, and LR has been consistently problematic, as I miss an average of 7 per section.

Would it be beneficial to go through 7sage core curriculum lessons? I don't think there are major conceptual gaps in my understanding, as I know exactly what to do when I see a question stem and my blind reviews get me to 170. Also, I'm burning through PT's pretty quickly...have about 25 fresh exams left...

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to best proceed for the November exam? My goal is 168+. I will be starting grad school next week, so I won't be able to devote nearly as much time, but luckily my undergrad grades are locked in.

Any advice would be so so appreciated...

Like the title states, I'm looking to buy 5-section PTs, specifically PT 76 onward. I know Amazon sells packets that are 4-section PTs, but is there somewhere to buy the full official 5-section ones?

Thanks for the help.

So, every time I enter my ACs into 7sage for a given PT, I put my left hand on the number keys and FLY through it without looking. This skills is, without a doubt, Guitar Hero muscle memory resurfacing after 10 years. I wonder what a PT would sound like mapped out on a fretboard...

Has anyone else had this thought?? Just thought it was funny and wanted to share.

I forgot where I saw a clip of a taped section. After much resistance, I have decided to do it. Can anyone point me to where I can find a clip? Thanks!

Hey 7Sagers! I took the July administration as my third take, and scored a 166. I was PT-ing around 170 before the test, so I think I may have a decent chance of scoring at least a 169 in my next take, which would be November. I was wondering what is the better strategy: applying early (September) with a 166/3.4 GPA or re-taking in November and potentially scoring a 169, but then applying later in the cycle (early December when scores come out). My goal is to land at least a T-14, but more than happy to go to T-20 with scholly money. I am not a URM but a female Pakistani immigrant working in immigration law. Any advice is appreciated!

I'm hesitant to post this, but it's driving me crazy, so here goes:

During a study break, I went down a rabbit hole and came across this article: https://www.theroot.com/the-five-types-of-becky-1798543210

Now I'm sitting here translating this and feeling confused. I'm also wondering if I'll ever be able to read anything again without translating it to lawgic.

Obviously I understand the point of this statement, but my brain that just reviewed the existential quantifier lessons cannot make sense of this: Not all white women are Beckys, but all Beckys are white women.

Translation:

Some White women are not Beckys

BUT

If you're a Becky, then you're a white woman. (Beckys --> White women)

I'm envisioning a circle representing "white women" world with a smaller circle inside of it representing "Beckys" world. Where I'm thrown off is that "some" indicates an intersection relationship and my representation seems to be more of an all encompassing relationship.

Thoughts?

Hey everyone,

I'm not done with the CC, but am just curious and I'm playing around with my calendar...

I see that about half of 1~35 LG, LR sections are included in the CC. I have no idea about LR.

I plan to start drills for all LR, RC and LG after CC.

I know repetition is important for LG, but would it be necessary for LR and RC too?

I read that earlier PTs are not as important, so I'm thinking it might be better to just continue on to PT37.

How did you do your's?

hey all,

so for a few weeks now, i've been doing 1 PT a week.

This is my schedule (i'm also studying full time):

Monday: PT in the morning, Blind review/redo LG in the afternoon, watch JY's LG video explanations in the evening

Tuesday: Blind review RC (reread passage, low-high resolutions, etc.) in the morning, watch all of JY's RC video explanations in the afternoon, hand write out analysis for questions I got wrong and what to pay attention in the future (evening)

Wednesday: BR (Which I do by analyzing every single LR question, but especially those that I circle/skip) 1 LR section - all day

Thursday: BR the 2nd section LR section - all day

Friday - Watch JY video explanations for every single LR question(this takes like 5 hours, but I find it helpful as JY often breaks down cookie cutters in each explanation). When needed, I also look up LR explanations on Manhattan Prep and Powerscore LR forum. I also hand write out analysis for questions I got wrong and circled - this takes all day.

Saturday - foolproof LG. Review and cookie cutter every single question (LR and RC) in that Practice test

Sunday - foolproof older LG games. Do confidence drills for previous LR sections.

So this is my weekly schedule to do and fully review 1 practice test. it's a lot of work, and it's taking me a ton of time to finish a COMPLETE ONE practice test cycle of doing a PT and and then reviewing it.

I'm trying, however, to increase my PT rate to do 2 Practice tests per week (because I want to get more exposure to PTs in 70s and 80s), but I'm realizing this is really hard to do. I tried to do 2 PT this past week, and I felt like I was rushing so much in this cycle. By rushing to do 2 practice tests in one week, I find that I don't have enough time to foolproof LG and don't have enough time to fully review LR and RC.

Does anyone have any advice on this? Any comments or suggestions appreciated. Thanks so much.

Also - (my BR scores are in 175ish but my timed scores are in the low 160s).

Timed Scores (average):

LR -6 -6 = -12

LG -3

RC -7

BR scores

LR -1 -1= -2

LG -0

RC -2

When I registered for the Sept 2018 LSAT about a month ago, the only available testing center nearby was "LOS ANGELES AREA TEST CENTER." I'm in Orange County about 45 miles away (not bad I know considering how far other people have to go). But when I checked tonight, they've opened new ones nearby that weren't available when I initially registered. Has anyone had success appealing the $125 fee? If these spaces were available when I initially registered, I would have no need to change. As it is I don't even know my testing center for the LA area since it seems they're so overbooked...

Also - anyone have recommendations or advice as to Irvine Marriott, Irvine Valley College, Argosy, or Chapman testing centers? Heard good things about Argosy & Chapman but they're a bit further than Marriott and IVC. Would rather not take my chances with traffic.

How much improvement did you see by the end of it? Were you going -0 on your next PT? Or was it the PTing that really solidified your LG skills?

I'm about two weeks into foolproofing and I've made a good bit of progress, but I'm curious about what other peoples' experiences have been.

I have a day now to digest my July LSAT score and really reflect on my LSAT experience. First I want to say thank you to 7Sage and the community as a whole. Bluntly put, there was no way I could have been successful without this program. From JY and the CC to the discussion board and community, 7Sage has given me the confidence and the techniques to succeed. It does all of this while being more affordable than other prep programs which expands access to the legal profession. I want to give a big shout out to my Blind Review call group. If you have the opportunity, I highly suggest you join one (I believe @keets993 is leading one now). The ability to create new relationships with fellow 7Sagers was crucial as it allowed me to approach questions with new perspectives. I was able to bounce ideas off of them which allowed me to understand more about myself and how I approached the test. Big shout-out to @twssmith @BinghamtonDave @teamteamvicster @Jane1990 @Hamaseh_S @necessarynaomi @happyLSAT and everyone else on the calls. I would also like to thank @"Daniel.Sieradzki" for being a great tutor, often coming on the calls to say hello and give advice. With all of your help, I was able to go from a middling diagnostic to a 177. I could not have done it without you.

I am writing this to give thanks but also to catch the eyes of anyone considering 7Sage. This is a great community at a (more) affordable price. Please consider joining a Blind Review group and above all else do not be discouraged by your first take. I got a 169 on my first take and then improved on my second.

Lastly, I studied for this test with medically diagnosed Attention Deficit Disorder. I took no medicine and did not request accommodations. I am considering writing an informal guide for other takers that may have ADD or Dyslexia. If anyone has experienced taking the LSAT under these conditions and would like to contribute or share what worked for you, please feel free to message me.

Thank you 7Sage and all those that are here experiencing this crazy journey with me. The destination is great, but the journey was a pleasure in itself.

My best,

ChaimtheGreat

So I feel like I'm moving at a really slow pace when it comes to BR, checking answers, and foolproofing.

I take my test and then I normally wait till the next day to BR so I can rest my mind. ( I get so tired after taking a PT, my brain just hurts and doesn't want to focus anymore) I normally take 1-2 days to BR and really going over my answers (even the ones I get right).

Is anybody else doing the same thing? or is 2days too long? I do feel like I am going at a slow pace, but it makes me recognize my mistakes more and I feel more relax and not as rushing/cramming.

Hi everyone,

I am new to the 7sage community, and desperately need advice. I am graduating this December with a 3.97 GPA. I began studying for the LSAT this past February by reading the PS bibles (all three) until the beginning of May. After that I moved onto the PS workbooks, which weren't as helpful as I hoped. Even though I felt like I wasn't ready, I still went through with the June exam, and scored a 147 (so embarrassed). After I received this score I convinced myself that I didn't have enough time to practice, and just needed to drill more. This was a mistake. I kept practicing problems (timed and untimed) and getting the same results.

About a month ago someone recommended to check out the games explanations on 7sage, which I did. This was probably the best decision I have ever made. I have already seen improvement on this section. The problem is I am scoring -13 on LR sections, which I know means I haven't learned the fundamentals. I am thinking about purchasing a course from 7sage, and hopefully retaking the June 2019 LSAT. I just keep wondering if I am making the right choice?

For those of you who have enrolled in the course, how long have you been studying for the LSAT? Did you take time off to study? If anyone wants to share their own journey on studying for the LSAT and the application process I would really appreciate it! I need all the advice I can get. Thanks.
