I just scored a 161 timed and a 174 BR on PT 69 (shooting for 170 by dec). I watched the recording of myself taking the PT and wrote down the time I spent on each question, but how can I effectively find some common/frequent problems I am making by analyzing the film? I don't have a particular reason why I scored a -13 on LR timed when I got -2 in BR other then the fact some questions took 2-3 mins.

I just sent a message to a few 7sage tutors for some help (thank you @akistotle for the advice).

Does anyone have particular things to look for when watching a video of PTing?

Is it true? Newer PTs are harder than older ones? Should I focus more on tests 65 onward for December/February? Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone had any tips for improving memory and retention? I'm still on the LR section of the core curriculum but I think it could be something that would be helpful for all sections. I have noticed that while I have a better understanding of the structure of the stimulus, sometimes I do have to go back and reread the stimulus for details, especially when I'm down to two answer choices. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys ,

I am hoping to give the LSAT somewhere around Sep 2018 , I am about to start my prep and I want to know what are the best ways to start my preparations ? My first thought is that I should take a PT available on the LSAC website ( June 2007 i guess ?) , complete it under test conditions so that I know where exactly I stand and what my strong and weak points are and then gradually work on my weak sections . Will that be an effective way to start?

Also , what are some good guides and websites for self study ?

All advice is welcome !

Hey everyone, I feel sometimes the lsat throws in indicator that aren't building conditional relationship. how can you tell when the conditional statements are important in a lsat question or when their not.

Thoughts?

Hello 7Sage Community! As a non traditional prospective law school student who has been out of school for awhile (94) and thinks this is a necessity, I would love to find a mentor to walk with me, share their advice and experience with applying to law school and attending law school. I truly believe having a mentor in the area that you are pursuing your dream/passion is vital. I am new to Houston TX, so I'm not sure what avenues are available to seek out this information. I would like to know if anyone has any ideas and/or suggestions on how to find a mentor. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, first i'd like to provide some background in case some of you have been in my shoes in the past. My diagnostic was a low 150 with a 170 BR. Even though I feel that I understand the material and the language of the test, the time constraint really freaks me out. Like most people here, I want to hit my ceiling and have given myself a year to study.

My question is regarding the expected score increase after CC. What improvement should one expect after completing the CC? In the long-run I realize this isn't all that important, but I want to make sure that I'm not wasting PT's if I haven't truly mastered the material.

If my first PT after completing the CC is still low 150's what should I do?

Thanks :)

Hey guys,

PT82 is now available for $5.97 for a limited time:

https://classic.7sage.com/addons/

If you have Ultimate+, then you already have access to this PrepTest in your Syllabus.

The explanations are not yet complete! We currently have LG videos up, but everything else is missing until we complete the rest of the PT. Until then, you'll receive the printable test, LG explanations, and quickview videos. Once the explanations are complete, they will be added on if you own the PT form 7Sage or have Ultimate+.

Enjoy!

Hi, I just updated my windows today and was trying to print PTs from Chrome but I just can't seem to find the print button.

I have cleared the cache, restarted the computer multiple times but the print button won't show up. All I see is the thumbnail and zoom in button. This seems strange because I was able to print fine before the update.

Please help!

Apparently there has been talks of a GOP tax plan to tax tuition waivers for grad school as income. If this proposal gets passed, does this mean that merit scholarships and stipends will be subject to tax for law school?

I took the actual test in September and got a 163. I did a full blind review once the test was released and got a 180 with fairly little resistance from the test. Now that the test has been released as a PT is there any benefit to taking it as a PT under fully timed conditions?

Is it worth my time taking it?

So I just upgraded to the Ultimate for my last 4* weeks of study before the Dec. test. I saw my study schedule was updated, but now I feel at a loss at where to start. I bought the Ultimate for the newer PT, and I was really interested in the drills, but now there are extra videos/practices in the sections I've already completed. I really don't know where I should begin, any suggestions?

I can't focus at all by the time I get to section 3.

I input the wrong answer (by accident) into the prep test answer bank - how to I correct it after I save and process?

Hi, what are some of the best intro to logic textbooks out there? I am looking to learn more about logic fundamentals and considering reading several books to improve my logic understanding. Thanks.

Hi all--I've been staring questions that are particularly daunting as I'm going through timed sections--how do I get to a list of those starred questions?

Hello LSATers,

I'm wondering if you guys have any tips when it comes to highlighting for the test?

For me, I highlight when it comes to reading passages for key points. There are times in logical reasoning in which I highlight when the text is so dense or I need to do something active to wake my brain up. I heard that in logic games, you can highlight the master board, and add new information rather than making new game boards every question.. I really like that but it's risky when it comes to must be true questions when having multiple game boards set up is critical.

What are your thoughts when it comes to taking advantage of highlighters?

I pre-ordered this on Amazon and got notice just now that it shipped today and will be here Wednesday.

Hi all, it's not a serious mistake but I noticed in S4 (the 2nd LR) that the first page says "22 questions" when really it's out of 25. Not sure if that's LSAC or 7Sage's doing, and it doesn't really affect anything. I just wanted to point it out; I know I was confused when I saw it

Hello Everyone! I recently took a PT and I was very sad by the results. I am still in the 150s after hours of drilling and reviewing (Started in 146). My last pt was an 152 and this pt was a 152. I took a month in between the two test solely for drilling by type. My weakest is LG, but I have not started really fool proofing solely LG. I have put more time in LR and I am seeing results but it varies dramatically per section. For example, last pt I got only 9 right on the first LR and 18 right on the second LR section. I have went back to CC and went over some weak areas. Yet, this does not seem to be enough. For the sake of transparency, my BR score is in the 160s. (161 this last pt, 165 the pt before that one). However, I am at a lost. Because of this, I think I just need a break. Being in school has been difficult because I put more time in the LSAT then my own studies and I feel like I'm not seeing adequate results. Any opinions on whether I should take a break for the rest of this semester and start back in January? Has anyone took that long of a break and found it helpful. Thank you.

Proctors: 4 proctors per room, one reading, 2 pacing

Facilities:new testing center used for other large tests ie accoutning

What kind of room: room with no windows, well lit

How many in the room:12

Desks: tables 4x2' ish?

Left-handed accommodation: own table so not necessary

Noise levels:minimal, except for proctors (note later)

Parking: easy

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 4.5 hrs

Irregularities or mishaps:none really

Other comments: the proctor wore the most obnoxiously loud shoes and often lingered around you while testing. I understand this is required, but it got bad enough to where multiple people considered saying something

Would you take the test here again? I am in december

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Sept 2017

Anyone have a good way to remember how to diagram/translate unless statements? I still trip up on those.

If you took the LSAT in September and had to wait several weeks for your results, did you continue with your study schedule just in case you needed to test again in December? How long did it take to get your results?

I took a PT this past Saturday and got a 150. LR was -9, -12, RC -8, LG -14 (Yikes!) I did not BR the RC and my BR score was 165

Should I focus the majority of my time drilling LG this month? I'm taking the December LSAT. Postponing is not an option.

LG tends to be my worst section.

Please let me know!

Thanks
