Hi everyone!

I am one of those converters from Testmasters to 7sage due to the ridiculously high price to reenroll after the initial LSAT. I scored a 154 on the September LSAT and I am pretty satisfied with that! I am however, trying to score a few points higher for scholarship purposes and to get me into some schools I might not be able to get into with the 154. The goal is 158-160 but I have 1 month to go and I just scored a low 142 on my last PT and feel lost. Does anybody have any advice on what I should do for this last month leading up?

Thank you in advanced!

Can someone clarify the distinction between necessary assumption and sufficient assumption questions. I’ve been reading too in to it and it’s gone over my head. Also, to weaken an argument, you want to find an answer choice that is more or less “or this could be the other meaning too” type correct ?

Hi guys, I am incredibly happy to have found this. I just want some advice. I have pushed off my LSAT 2x and rescheduled w/out actually taking it. This is due to working a ton and just anxiety. I have plenty of money in the bank, already graduated undergrad, and am still living with the fam until the LSAT stuff is done. I signed up for Dec/Feb and I'm studying full-time...quit my dead end job.

My point is that I really REALLY feel unable to take a PT since I'm lost and getting nothing right. I have done the first couple lessons on here and I just want to learn how to do logic games and get right down to the nitty gritty. I also have all the bibles/blueprint books at my disposal. Am I personally best suited to run through this entire course, lesson by lesson? I just feel like it'll take forever for me to get to where i want to be. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey all,

Longtime lurker, first time poster. Thanks in advance if you read all the way through this!

I have been studying since April 2017 to take the December 2017 LSAT. I originally bought the kaplan book (useless!), before discovering powerscore and working through the trilogy. On my last 5 timed PTs I have scored between 170-173 (averages: LG, -2. RC, -4. LR, -2). This inflates my preparedness, as these scores are contingent on guesses between two possible answers on a question without being sure which is correct, and the occasional guess on a question after I have run out of time. Unfortunately, I only very recently learned about the 7Sage blind review method.

Because I still have 2 years to go on my BA, there is no need for a December writing, so I have rescheduled to Feb 2018. I currently have around 15 "clean" PTs left, all between 65 and more recent.

This brings me to my questions:

Because I already have done substantial preparation, what is the best way for my to make use of the the 7Sage program? Would you still recommend at start at the beginning of the course material? Would my previous preparation change the way I should study?

Also, what course pack should I purchase? Would it be worth it to purchase the Ultimate+ package even though I only have a few months until I sit my exam (I'm thinking specifically about the explanations of the newer Preptests)?

Anything else I'm not considering?

Does anyone know the phone number to 7sage?

I just started taking timed sections, and I am spending about 3 minutes per question in LR,( obviously too much time). Am I screwed? I feel down and discouraged.

Hellos all,

so i have been experimenting with using the pomodoro technique for 35 min time slabs gearing up for the LSAT....really helpful with focussed study and deep work....and training the brain...

have downloaded tomighty and marinara as chrome extensions on my devices....thought might share the collated list of effective apps to try out....

APPS THAT MAY HELP YOU?

Forest: You can plant a seed in Forest. In the following time, this seed will gradually grow into a tree. However, if you cannot resist the temptation and leave this app to check Facebook or play a game, your tree will wither away. It’s available for both Android and iOS.Link

Tide: It combines the most popular time management method Pomodoro Technique with peaceful White Noise, Tide makes your time more productive and enjoyful. I personally use this app and I love it. It’s available for both Android and iOS.

Tomighty: A free desktop timer for the Pomodoro Technique. It’s not available for your smartphones rather its for your PC or Mac. If you have to study or work on your computer, in such case you can use it as focus agent.

Marinara: No this is not sauce, its Marinara Timer. A Pomodoro-style timer you can tailor to fit your productivity needs. You can set time segments that fit your workflow, reduce distractions and share your productivity timer with teammates to complete tasks more efficiently.

Why are the Tri Conderoga’s so freaking hard to sharpen!

I think I want to use this pencil for test day but can’t seem to get a good point. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also, I’ve been digging the Staedler Wopex. But the tip keeps breaking.

Any other pencils out there people recommend?

Hi everyone,

My biggest issue right now is not freaking out while taking timed prep tests and I'm stuck on how to get over this feeling. I'm BRing in the 170s, so I know that I know the curriculum and that's not the issue. But every time I sit down to take a prep test and I start the timer, I feel my heart racing, I start panicking and I just fly through the questions to get to the end, and it's really impacting how well I'm doing on the timed sections.

I'm not sure what to do to calm my nerves. I've tried doing breathing exercises before sitting down to take a test but it doesn't seem to help.

Any advice would be helpful!

What are some tactful responses you have given to friends and family about this? Thanks!

Hi all,

Will there be any BR calls planned for the September 2017 exam?

Hello all,

I've completed my PS but have a problem. When I double space the essay manually, I get around 900 words and can fit everything I want to say so badly in the two pages i am given. But when I use the double space function on microsoft word, it shoots me to 2 full pages and a paragraph in the third page. Im trying to cut things out that might be a little redundant but Im hardly getting 700 words and dont think this is appropriate.

Can I get by just double spacing manually?

Is it necessary to account for semester breaks during my undergraduate studies? Do I need to provide an explanation?

Do I need to explain my cancelled LSAT test?

I have really bad anxiety but I haven't seen a doctor about it. Do I need to mention this is why I cancelled the score.

The AMA train continues!

Join me on Wednesday for a great discussion with JY about how I worked my way up to scoring a 177 on the September LSAT.

The short answer: the 7Sage community. It truly kept me engaged and motivated to do my best. We will talk about my LSAT journey, the section strategies that worked best for me, studying phases, and more. It turns out that I actually enjoy this test, and I hope this will be a fun and informative conversation.

I hope to see you there!

Hi guys, so I’m currently studying for the December LSAT & finishing up my essays for the application.

Since the test is in December and I won’t know my score until January, does it make a difference whether I submit my application in December (without knowing my store) vs. in January, once I have received my LSAT score.

Hi @"Alan Cheuk" and @"Dillon A. Wright",

Would it be possible to see answers for LR questions in PT1-17 in the Question Bank?

I know there are no explanations available, so there are only Discussion buttons. But it would be great if we can see the answers quickly. (I have to go to e-docs to see the answers.)

Hello All

On my LSAT Official Test in September, I got a 152 (my PTs were averaging 155).

I am retaking it in December, and I just purchased the starter package here.

I wanted a 170, not so sure on that anymore but a 165 is my minimum.

Best tips for jumping 13 points?

I'd be upgrading to get access to 9 prep tests (73-81). Is there that much of a difference in the difficulty of the tests that I should invest in upgrading?

Thanks in advance for your input!

I recently enrolled in ultimate plus and have watched a couple of webinar videos. Almost every video talked about the amazing and supportive community that 7Sage has. I understand that there are study group/BR groups. Can someone tell me how these groups work and further elaborate what is the best way to incorporate the community to maximize my lsat scores? Thanks in advance.

For those of you who have filmed your tests, would you mind sharing your best practices for setups? (Do you use a tripod?) And have you been able to transfer videos off of your phone? I've been experiencing difficulties transferring large video files from my Android phone.

Hi everyone!

I am wondering how long it took you all to start going -0 to -1 on LG. How many LG sections did you complete by the time you started hitting that -0/-1 consistently?

Thanks! :)

For some reason when I try to play a video in Quick View, the video will play but without sound. This is happening in both Firefox and Chrome. Videos that are embedded in pages, such as in lessons, don't seem to be having this problem. It's only the pop-up Quick View ones that are having this problem. Please advise.

Since I have to start writing my own LOR for an old boss I went to the internet to look for some samples and found this site that I thought was pretty helpful. Wanted to share it in case others are in the same predicament as moi:
