Hey everyone, I hope your LSAT studies are going spectacular!

It's no secret that English grammar is very dynamic, weird, and convoluted even for the native speaker. Besides the helpful grammar section in the 7sage curriculum, outside review should be implemented in your studies to help get awesome results in your PT/BR performance. I once read a comment from @"Cant Get Right" that really put this all in perspective for me. It was on a post about relearning grammar and he said, "Just recognizing that is a great start. The logic repeats itself over and over and over. They just don't have a lot of options on the logic. So what they do is they disguise that material with grammar. At a certain level, it really does become a test of grammar. Mastering the logic is far from sufficient to ensure a good score On the hardest questions, the difficulty is often not the logic at all, it's the grammar. So this is definitely worth a large allocation of your study time."

So please make it a point to take time outside of your prep to truly understand the logic behind grammar! For anyone interested, I've found this free online grammar course that will take place on February 27,2017:

Let's do dis!

Hi all,

Was drilling LR and noticed one of the areas I want to improve on is "formal logic", i.e. Translating into lawgic type questions. I noticed this types of questions most often appear in Must be True, SA and PSA question types. 2 questions:

Am I missing any question types where formal logic predominantly appears?

Is there a way I can practice only these types of questions? (Like a question bank of something or the sort)

I looked at the 7sage question bank and didn't see anything specifically for formal logic, as it's not a question type. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Alright, I've done this webinar several times before and now it's time to see if I can do it while remaining within a reasonable amount of time! It's a big topic with a lot of information, but I'm cautiously optimistic!

We'll talk about how to determine where you are in your prep, and how to let your level of ability guide your efforts in order to get the most out of each PT and to progress efficiently and effectively towards your target score and beyond. Trying to study once you finish the curriculum can be really overwhelming. By the end of my prep, I had it down to a science. But I had to learn the hard way through trial and much error. But you don't! So I hope to see y'all there!

Hello,

I've been thinking about canceling my February test score (I took the international one on the 19th) for a couple of days now and can't seem to reach a decision by myself.

It was my first time taking the test and as feared, I ended up panicking as soon as I opened the first section (to the point of my hands shaking uncontrollably), which was usually my favorite section, the logic games. I usually finish with about 5 minutes to spare on average on my PT but on this test, due to wasting the first few minutes freaking out, I actually ended up guessing a few questions (which I've never done before). The next few sections I calmed down but the shaky start really did not help me focus on the harder RC passages, which I also ended up rushing on. In short, this test wasn't optimal for me.

On my fully 5 section timed PTs, I range from 170-174, which I know is quite a big gap. Judging from how awful LG felt for me, I predict that it will possibly be lower than 170, counting in some possibility of panic answers in the RC section too. Now I have such strong urge to cancel this score because I'm aiming for the top tier law schools, and especially with my top choice as Yale, I don't want a score below 170 to hurt my chances. I know Yale likes neither cancellation nor retakes, but I wanted to hear from you guys what looks better - a cancel and a higher score or.. a (potentially very) low score and a higher score?

I'm confident that in my next test I can reach my PT potential by doing more timed tests and working under pressure. A downside though would be that because I took the February (undisclosed) test, I'll never be able to a slight sense of what I got. So what would be best for me?! Thank you all for the help.

I had a slip of the wrist and hit "Mark All Viewed." This isn't totally life shattering but is there a way to undo this? I like seeing the distinction between threads I've read versus threads I haven't read. TIA, but really, it's no rush.

A pivotal point to reach higher score bands is to implement skipping strategies and those concepts have helped elevate my score potential. If you can grab the “low hanging” fruit of easy questions, then you can “bank” time to return to the curve breaker questions. However, putting undo pressure on myself to answer the first 10 questions in less than 10 minutes didn’t quite work as I had planned... i.e. PT62 shows that LSAC will throw in level 4/5 questions in the first 10 & have a level 1 question in the midst of a 4/5 stretch which supports the 25 questions in 25 minutes strategy.

The Official LSAT SuperPrep II, LSAC provides a 1-5 ranking of difficulty for every question for PT 62, PT 63 and previously undisclosed PT C2. (will add C2 graph soon)

Hope this helps:)

Hello all, just dropping this quick question by you.

As you go through your studies, is it more efficient to knock out each section of the LSAT one at a time, or to kind of jump around so you do not burn yourself our on one section or waste too much time learning one section and not enough on the other two?

Thanks!

Yesterday I took the LSAT (the test was offered in Asia on Feb 19), and on one section the proctor forgot to give a 5 minute warning, and instead gave a 1 minute warning. In every other section he gave a 5 minute warning, so this threw me off. I had my own watch and noticed at about 3 minutes left that he hadn't given the warning yet, which distracted me. I ended up guessing on the last 3-4 questions on the LR section, which is unusual for me. Does anyone have thoughts on whether I should report it to LSAC? What would happen if I do report? Is there a chance they would automatically cancel, without giving me (or other test takers) the option to see our scores first? I definitely want to see my score. Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi all,

I am hoping to get some input on a skipping strategy (not really for LG). RC is my weakest section (seems like almost everyone says this). When I BR I an able to get 4-5 more questions right because I had made stupid mistakes rushing to get all the questions done. I want to try to practicing skipping questions throughout my next several PTs.

Was hoping to learn some of the strategies y'all use! I REALLY want to maximize my potential on RC- the process has been very rough thus far.

:)

I have the books for all of them, but blind reviewing on a fresh page would be helpful.

Below is a list of LR questions that contain numbers and/or percentages. I'm working through these and I thought I would share. Hopefully this is helpful!

Hi all,

I am many months into studying for the LSAT and still struggling with timing.

A bit about my particular situation: I have gone through the 7sage Core curriculum and other curriculums as well (Powerscore, Blueprint, Trainer). Because of going through so many curriculums I feel like my understanding of the material is decent and my blind review scores are at my target (high 160's/low 170's). I am taking one PT a week and blind reviewing. The rest of the time I am drilling by type or drilling by section.

My biggest timing issues are with Logic games. My question is this: What were the best strategies for you high scorers out there who got faster? (My particular area of need is logic games speed, but tips for speed in the other sections would help too.)

Thanks in advance!

I have a quick question. I don't start law school until the fall and I know that you usually don't do internships until after your second year but I have a question and I don't know if anyone will be able to answer it but here we go. So obviously in law school you learn how to do a new type of resume. My question pertains to the LSAT and whether or not that is something potential employers care about, especially in Biglaw

Thank you @jusinhan for you post - JY's response was so great that hopefully it will help us all in the Study Guide section for future reference:)

Quick question, I've noticed that I am more prone to missing questions on the first RC passage than I should when I do PTs. I think, I could be wrong because things blur a bit when you study for a stupid long time for the LSAT, that JY mentioned in passing in an explanation that students miss more on the first passage....

So my question: is this a thing that people can be more prone to missing more questions on the first passage? Is it like something to do with warming up as you go through the passages? Or am I an outlier hahaha

Anyone deal with this/ have ideas on how to prevent this?

Edit: the more I think about it, I've noticed I make more dumb mistakes in the first couple of questions in LR and LG than I should. Its not as common for me with those sections but maybe theres a pattern....hmmm

Anybody doing LSAT stuff? Daniel does LSAT stuff and he's really good at it. So if you want to be really good too, come and ask him anything.

Hello folks,

Why do the pages look unclear when I print them? Am I doing something wrong?

To all 7sagers who are alone today because we can't have a life while also studying for LSAT or to others who are in a relationship,

Happy Valentines Day! (3 (3 (3(/p)

I hope you all have a love and logic filled day! May you all get each and every single LSAT problem right! ;) And may we stock up on chocolates tomorrow because they will be half-off! Love you all (3(/p)

Sami (3(/p)

Roses are red

Violets are blue

You should be studying

And I should be too.

Hope everyone has had a decent holiday!

Keep grinding!

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anybody familiar with testing accommodations could answer a question. I was wondering if you guys think I will get extra time. I have something called Raynaud's Disease. Long story short, when I get nervous, due to Raynaud's, my hands and feet get numb cold. I can barely move them. I also get extremely short of breath. I am writing to LSAC saying that I have difficulty moving my hands and breathing. I genuinely cannot turn pages or bubble answers quickly. I also have the medical test that proves I have the disease. Do you guys think that this will qualify for extra time? I took the sept 2016 lsat, before I was diagnosed. I have never gotten extra time before on anything; I just got this diagnosis in December.

Hi! I'm looking for a study buddy in the GTA (toronto) area to blind review and keep each other motivated. I'm taking the June LSAT. Message if you're interested

It would be better if I can see which section has the live commentary video. It really helps me a lot with timing and real strategy, but it is hard to find them. Some sections have it, but some don't.

Hey guys,

I just signed up for 7sage but I've been studying for the june lsat for about 3 months now, around 10-15 hours a week. I've gone from low 150's high 140's starting out to averaging 163 over my last 4 preptests. My question is what do you guys continue to work on as your scores improve? I signed up for 7sage for the test analytics and as a way to get a new twist on areas of the test I struggle at the most. Any ideas on how to "max myself out"? I'm currently working on my weakest areas which are LR assumption questions and flaw questions.

What I'm doing right now is trying to go through old preptests I've taken and ace individual timed sections, 35 for LR and RC but 30 for LG, taking at least one test a week. I've taken close to 20 tests. I have yet to actually ace anything but I do -1 to -2 on LG and RC a fair amount but can't seem to crack around -5 on LR. The more tests I take the more I realize you can struggle in 1 section with a -5 but if you can 0 or -2 a couple sections it is huge for high scores.

Hopefully, this isn't to incoherent. I just really want a 170 score and want to spend my remaining 5 months getting as prepped as possible.

7Sagers,

On Monday, February 20th, at 9 p.m. EST, I’ll talk about letters of continuing interest and other waitlist strategies. After my presentation, I’ll answer your questions.
