I took the LSAT back in 2008-2009. I took Kaplan prep course which did not help in any way. The instructor was on speed and just assumed everyone understood what was being taught. I got 140. Then self studied and again, got 140. It was terrible. I honestly felt lost; Defeated. I gave up, hating this test because it just made me feel so stup*d. Anyways fast forward to 2018, I've decided to try again, yes ten years later. -__- I'm trying to find a really good course program, one that does not assume everyone is the smartest person on the planet, if that makes sense. I've been out of school for ten years so I am like literally starting back up from dirt.

I've seen so many online courses, I came across 7sage, Alpha score, and the LSAT trainer. I've read terrible reviews about the LSAT trainer, but haven't really seen any reviews on 7sage and Alpha Score. Can anyone give any feed back on any of these two? I'm really looking for a course that's really going to break down and explain each section to where the average joe (me) can get it.

I feel like I have enough time to really learn how to finally get a decent score on this test. At least I think I do.

Has anyone gone through the coursework who only needed help with one section? My LG is very weak but my LR and RC are already where I need them to be for test day. Has anyone been in this situation starting off with 7sage? Did you find going through the entire course worth the time, or have another approach to using the 7sage resources?

I just saw on Twitter that my test center will be closed due to inclement weather.

Usually what will happen next? Will LSAC give us another test date like in the next week or so?

Thanks guys.

I want to take the test in June. I know I need to study a lot for the LR and RC. I did not do well in any of those two section. Should I study LG first then LR. Or LR then LG. Strength my LG and LR. Need your advise.

So, I took my December 17 LSAT and received a 135. I self-prepped and had anxiety once i took the exam. I decided to join 7sage and prepped through this course until the Feb exam. I felt confident during the exam but time was running out so I had to guess on a few questions. My main question is, is it a bad thing if I take off an academic year to focus on getting a better LSAT score? I graduate with my undergrad degree in May 2018. I just want to make the right decision because I know many schools do not accept June LSAT scores for the fall.

Thanks 7Sagers !

Hi all,

I'm from Canada and am considering applying to the US.

I'm very interested in entertainment law. I'd like to apply to US law schools, but I'm not sure if it'll be a good idea. First off, I'd have to consider cost of school and could only go with a huge scholarship which is easier said than done. Secondly, I know certain Canadian schools allow you to sit for the bar in certain states, but a friend of mine was speaking of NAFTA regulations, Trump and how Canadians won't be able to just "hop on over to practice". I'd also have to consider immigration, I'm not sure if USA jobs offer this option. Either way, I'm considering all of these things because it is something I intend to consider in the near future.

Thanks

I have been having difficulty with the videos loading properly. Many times the videos won't play at all. It won't let me fast forward through the videos either. Getting really frustrated with it :(

Hey everyone, I want to announce that you can now search text within a lesson!

Some of you are thinking, "Wait, we couldn't do that before?" Yeah, that wasn't a thing before. But now it is!

Try it out. Let us know if it's working right for you.

The Lsat has now ruined my:

Thanks for all the warm warm wishes of death, X's & O's (which I wasn't planning on getting anyway), and holiday hopes & dreams.

Was access to certain features recently changed in Starter?

I no longer have the check marks next to items I have completed, nor do I have the option to have the side by side view of notes and video.

This is kind of a bummer.

One of the flash card quizzes early on in the curriculum asks to write out the logic for “Carrots cannot grow in the winter”

JY answered it as G —> /W

I understand this bc it’s just one sentence with one subject so obviously the G refers to carrots. I was thinking of it in the context of a long LR question which will probably have multiple subjects and probably compare diff vegetables, so adding a C in there somewhere is a good idea.

I wrote it as C —> /GW

I know that the way it’s labeled is somewhat arbitrary as long as the meaning is the same. I’m not sure if the saying “if [a carrot] grows, it is not winter,” is the same as “if you are a carrot, you don’t grow in the winter”

I guess this is a question of how to label subject/predicate/object/details modifying the predicate within conditionals.

Thoughts?

Proctors: The two main proctors were Eckerd College students, both with good energy. The proctor running the test did a great job of keeping things going, answering questions and handling things.

Facilities: Auditorium of science building. Five rows of tiered seats/tables with enough room for about 25 students seated every other seat. Fortunately, we had fewer than 25, since the rest of the seats were cut-out desks that look really small.

Left-handed accommodation: Tables are perfect for lefties. They did have left-handed cut-out desk if necessary.

Noise levels: Quiet.

Parking: Ample parking in front of building, with a gravel parking lot not too far away.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: We were to arrive by 8:30. I was the second person to check in. No line or anything. I'd say about two-thirds of us arrived by 8:24. By 8:45, we were filling out forms and even with a handful of minor questions and a request to turn on more lights (which they did), the test started around 9 a.m.

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Other comments: All but about 6 test takers were female and I feared this could be a problem in the four-stall ladies room, but there was never any line, so we had ample time there (that was a big concern of mine!). Also time to hang out in the lobby and eat, drink and take a breather before going back in.

Would you take the test here again? Yes. Was very low key and stress free.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: 2/10/18****

Someone saw and asked me what happened

My answer? The lsat

Hi guys,

Forgive me for doing this but i just feel like ranting just a little bit, and hopefully finding a possible solution if there's one. So i've taking the LSAT twice before and i'm taking it again. The college test center that I have and will take it at (since it is the most convenient test center for me) did not provide a spot to place our prohibited belongings (phones, bags, etc). On both occasions I literally hid my phone in a BBQ grill outside the test center hoping that no one steals it whiles i'm taking the test, and the second time fortunately someone offered to keep it in their car together with my backpack, hopefully that we'll both be done in time so this person doesn't have to wait or worse drive off with my stuff. (Also, two girls got kicked out for having their phones on them. I'm assuming if they weren't gonna use it to cheat then maybe they had on them because they had no place to store them).

I absolutely understand why LSAC doesn't allow cellphones at the test center (to prevent cheating), but it seems wrong to not provide a place where people can store their things. It is not everyone who drives there or has a convenient place to store their prohibited items, and in the case of cellphones, we rely so much on them to warrant being fearful of losing it or it getting stolen.

Also, why is LSAC adamant on no mechanical pencils when taking the test? I'm assuming the machine that marks the tests can only read no.2 or HB lead pencil markings, but i literally just went to five stores closest to me (2 dollar stores, Ross, 7eleven, and my gas station shop) to buy a sharpener for tomorrow's test day in case i need it, and literally non of them had a regular/manuel sharpeners so I bought a $4 battery-powered sharpener. I'm not taking it to the center because i'm sure their not gonna allow it (even though there's no rule against automatic sharpeners), but could they either change this rule and allow mechanical pencils, or perhaps provide sharpeners assuming the center wouldn't have a wall sharpener?

Ok my rant is over. Goodluck to you all :)

I took the Dec. 3rd LSAT at CUNY Law in Long Island City, NY. Here is a brief synopsis of the testing facility experience:

- The location is right next to a subway stop for the E, M, and 7 trains.

- The building was clean, modern, and well-equipped.

- Approx. 120-150 people showed up and were split into 3 different rooms, based on last names.

- I was in a 2nd floor lecture hall that had long desks (no partitions) and they sat students in every-other-chair. There was plenty of room for my test booklet, answer sheet, and elbows.

- The room was quiet, comfortable, and ideal in every way for test-taking.

- The proctors were a group of 4-5 older women. They were prompt, courteous, and did everything correctly and by-the-book.

- I will likely re-take in June of 2017 and will definitely choose this testing site again.

I hope that helps, everyone. Good luck on future LSATs.

is there anyway that i can buy the drill pack and question bank for my LSAT starter course ?

Does anyone has a tracker or spreadsheet that they use for LR and/or RC? I know that using a tracker/spreadsheet for LG is common but I was just wondering if anyone has something to track LR/RC progress before I try to make one from scratch and then realize there is one out there floating around which just so happens to be superior to the one I have created.

Applying to Canadian Universities

Queens, Western, UofT, Osgoode

Applied in Access/ Diversity Category (Legitimate claim that effect my Undergraduate GPA).

I am scheduled to write the LSAT this February 10th. This will be my second write as the first time I scored 148 (Terrible I know). I have not been scoring where I want to be in the last few weeks, ranging between 154 and 157.

Overall CPGA of 3.2

Year 1: 3.44 Year 2: 3.18 Year 3: 3.00 Year 4: 3.41

Should I delay my LSAT and apply next cycle? Or should I risk getting another low mark?

Question: Does LSAC send an email confirming your decision to withdraw? I never received an email and I don't see it listed on my LSAC profile. I want to make sure it was recorded!

Can your LSAT ticket picture be in black and white. Even though it’s still clear

I do not consider myself to be a genius, but I don’t think I’m dumb either. I started prepping for the LSAT back in September. Since then, I had a house fire (Dec 22, 2017) and lost everything. Along with that, I lost previous study time. I’ve been doing the best I can with the hand delt, but I have been scoring around 150-153 on the prep tests. I am walking in to test day expecting a 150. I feel like everyone’s posts I read all say they are getting 160-170 or above. Is anyone else scoring in the 150’s ? Should I feel ashamed for scoring there? Are you all freaky intelligent? I’ve always done well on tests and in school, but this test has me feeling like a big fat dummy! PS I am not trying to get accepted into a top school. I will likely go to a private school. P

Only three days away!!! I feel I'm not fully prepared.

A little about my current situation: I am a junior from a top 15 college. This is my first time of taking LSAT. I have been studied LSAT for the past three months: finished all core courses; finished a least 50 timed sections of LR, 20 sections of LG, and 20 sections of RC. However, I just did one 5-section prep test and scored 165 due to schoolwork and my part-time internship.

In general, I got 3-5 wrong on RC, 3-6 wrong per section on LR, and 2-3 wrong on LG. I am aiming for 175 eventually.

Should I postpone the exam to June? I am tempted to do, especially with the added July test. Or should I take it and possibly cancel it after taking it.

I am trying to do the main point and main conclusion questions problem set number 1. However, when I click on any of the problems set (1-3) nothing happens. Also, I am unable to adjust the speed on the videos. Is this problem happening to anyone else? Or could it just be my computer glitching?

I just want to say thank you, so much, to 7sage for having such a great, affordable LSAT curriculum. I followed their advice and studied for about a year before taking the December 2017 LSAT. I scored a 162 and got into the University of Calgary, my top choice since I want to study environmental law! I'm super excited to start my program in September (and move somewhere slightly warmer than Winnipeg, Manitoba)!

Thanks 7sage!!
