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

Hi All,

I want to have all my apps in by end of February and really want to enroll in Fall 2018. I am currently scoring in the150s and studying while working full time ( been studying since end of July). I plan to take December's test and then study all of January ( hopefully not working at all) and take again in February.

Wondering if anyone could help weigh in on whether or not this sounds crazy... I am 30 and don't want to wait another year to go to law school, but do currently have student loan debt from a Masters in Studio Art so scholarship $$ will be a significant factor.

Thanks,

P

Looking for advice as to how comfortable you should be with a section (LR, LG, RC) before moving onto the next one. Is it best to feel extremely confident in the section before moving on, or should I just try to make my way through the CC before working towards mastery?

Hey guys,

I recently finished the core curriculum and began doing preptests. On my last two (PT 39 and PT 42) I got a 148, but in the BR i got a 167 and 170 respectively. I feel as though I have enough grasp of the material, but under timed conditions I either have to skip a lot of questions that I dont have time to come back to, or I try and rush though them all and get a bunch wrong.

Would I benefit from doing individual sections timed, or should i go back and do problem sets? I'm a little confused. Any tips that has worked for you in the past in terms of getting your timed score closer to your BR?? Would greatly appreciate any help!

Came across this earlier today and thought I'd share. Interesting outside perspective of what we've all been doing for months.

If a 158 was essentially his diagnostic, he'd do well after some 7-Sage fool-proofing!! (Also, I want to know how he did on judicial candor lol)

Hey I have a question for those consistently scoring 170 or above. During a timed test, do you actually read and eliminate all 4 answer choices (AC) before moving on? Do you think it's a better use of your time to just choose the AC that seems right and quickly move forward (and not 100% read and consciously eliminate all the other AC's before moving on)? As I am getting better, sometimes the right AC just pops out at me, or it very closely matches my prephrase, so I have a strong feeling it is right. I am still struggling with timing (If I could have 38 min, I'd do so much better!), so those last few minutes really count for me.

I think this is a convergence of timing and confidence issues for me. If I felt very confident in an AC, I could move on quickly and use that time I would have spent eliminating wrong AC's on a harder question. But I have read over and over that the highest scorers always find a reason to eliminate 3-4 AC's before choosing their correct AC and moving on to the next question.

One concern I have with the approach of sticking to what pops out at me, is that a highly attractive trap answer might 'pop out' at me, and then I have confirmation bias when trying to quickly skim and eliminate other ACs.

Any insights or tips from the high scorers (170+) on how you approach timing and confidently choosing an AC would be appreciated! I feel more confident choosing an AC in LG and moving on without eliminating the other 4 choices, more than I do doing that in LR or RC.

I've only seen a handful of these, but they popped up on September 2017 and PrepTest 75.

Their question stems are "Which one of the following is most appropriate as an analogy demonstrating that the reasoning in the argument above is flawed?"

And the answer choices look like:

"By that line of reasoning, we could conclude that it is better to eat red meat than to eat fish, since red meat is cheaper and more accessible to everyone else."

I haven't seen question types like this covered in the core curriculum, and I have no idea how to approach them.

Any suggestions?

Per Spivey Twitter:

“This is huge and breaking news. In multiple tweets. The ABA Council has recommended...

...that every law school can determine what makes a test valid and reliable for itself or whether or not it will even require an admission test...

As of this moment we are unsure of this recommendation needs to be finalized, or if it is a final decision.”

Thoughts?
