I love the site, and am 2 seconds away from ordering the Ultimate+ package. I just have two questions:

1) is there an easy way to see ALL bookmarks across the entire site? When I go to the "Course" page, I have and see bookmarks there that do not show up when I click "Bookmarks" on the "Discussion" page. Is there one universal bookmarks page?

2) Is there a way to see everything you've liked? Kind of like the feature on Instagram? Many times I will "Like" JY's or a user's explanation for something buried in the comments (and sometimes can't remember exactly where I found it/them), and it would be VERY useful to see my entire history/collection of likes as I study, as another reference point.

Thanks!

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on improving confidence in LG?

I took the December LSAT and got two LGs. In BOTH, I misread a rule in sequencing games, realized my mistake while doing a later game, and redid the whole game (and bombed the section in general as a result). I usually go -0 to -3 in LG. In the December take, I went -10. I'm not sure if the reason for this was test day pressure, lack of skill, or the fact that I had done so many games in the past, I generally started getting brain fog during the games.

Since then, while doing LG, I have been reading and re-reading every rule in every game because I have a nagging fear it will happen again. The trouble is that this has slowed me down a lot---to the point that I can't finish sections in time. I can't help but think that this isn't the right way to deal with this problem.. Any thoughts?

Hello, I have a question about the system...

Where is the transcript requesting form?

I registered my schools, but I do not see the forms.

Also, it says it takes about 2 weeks to proceed...what if it will not be done by the deadlines of school application?

How long did it take for you?

It requires my signiture, so can I just type or do I have to print it and mail to my college? (I cannot attach it to email when I ask my institution when forwarding transcript?)

Thank you for the help in advance.

This isn't really a technical 'problem', but it is related to 7Sage tech. Anyway, is there a way to enable push notifications for the 7Sage app for iOS?

Now that I'm done with undergrad, I have nothing but time on my hands and would like to get more involved on the message boards. At the same time, however, I don't want to be in front my computer the majority of each day.

Thanks!

I forget the name of the program, but it costs around 65 dollars if I remember correctly. It helps track the LOR's and transcripts, and send them out to each school you apply to.

The reason why I ask is because I have yet to spend money on it since my applications have yet to be completed. Since I will send them a couple of weeks before deadline, that service will still be available right?

Hey everyone,

So with Feb. fast approaching i've been trying to master my morning routine but can't seem to figure it out. I'm waking up at 6am, but frankly, its just not enough time for me to cook breakfast, meditate, go on a light jog and conduct a proper warm-up session --especially if you consider i'm gonna have to drive at least 30 minutes to get to the test center on test day (which I'm yet to factor in/emulate). Does anyone have any suggestions on any adjustments I can make going into the next few weeks? I went through my analytics and noticed I frequently struggle on the earlier sections (regardless of section type) and fare much better on the second half of the test (also regardless of section type). Perhaps I'm not warming up sufficiently/enough? On the flip side, I don't want to burn out on the warm up because it usually takes me at least 30 minutes to do 12 LR questions, 1 game, and 1 Passage. I'm considering eliminating the passage and replacing it with a read from the economist or scientific American while I eat breakfast. Thoughts?

For you TV fans, it's times like this I wish I had the discipline and efficiency of Dexter's "Morning Routine."

Hi all, again about PS :P

So to be honest, I have not decided to pursue which field yet...I'm interested in a couple, but have not chosen yet. I thought I want to decide after I enter law school, so I am choosing law school which have both of the fields that I am interested in.

So I am not going to talk about why X field in my PS, but when I read some samples, it seems people have legitimate reasons about which law they would like to practice. (and I understand it because it would be one of the reasons they choose the school.)

If I do not indicate one, would my PS look weaker? I may want to honestly say "I have not decided yet" but would it look bad?

Should I just do more research and decide which one before I even apply law school?

Thanks for your insights.

Ok, so I'm having a little difficulty with something. I'm currently aiming for the June 2017 administration, and I've covered a lot of the fundamentals in my studying so far. However, I do have one issue that I'm struggling with and it's "balancing my schedule".

I work full time in the litigation department of a large firm. I also work out a few times a week with my significant other other (who is a professional and is not studying for the LSAT, though accompanies me to the library to study). I'm having a hard time fitting all of my studying in while balancing work and working out. I typically tutor the LSAT throughout the week as well.

On a typical day my schedule looks like this:

Wake up at 4am (usually at 5am), study until 8am, get ready as fast as humanly possible in 20-30 minutes and be at my desk by 9am. Work from 9-5, sometimes later depending on what my work day looks like, I typically tutor the LSAT for about 3 hours after work, and then I try to fit in a work out, but most days I don't get to it. I get home, and I'm exhausted. I shower and sleep and then repeat it all the next day.

I've tried in the past two weeks pushing my workouts to the weekend, which has helped some. But I'm starting to feel like maybe just cutting out tutoring altogether might also be helpful. If I just stick to studying + work + light exercises on the weekends, how should I best structure my schedule?

One idea I had was that I wanted to start PTing on Saturday mornings, and then spend every morning before work (that 4am-8am time period) doing the blind review. Maybe taking Friday to relax.

If others have done something similar to what I'm doing now I'd love to hear it. Or, if you see something I'm doing wrong please point it out. I'm aiming for a 170+ but certainly want to hit the 174+ range. I'm in the 160s at this point.

Hi, I would appreciate if anybody could give me more information about the binding program. Do I have to go to a law school if I get admitted through the early binding program?What is the cost of not going after get admitted? Also, is the binding means that I have to finish 3 years in this law school and can't transfer to any other school?

Thanks!!!!!!!

Hey guys! I am not sure how the blind review method works since I have only attempted it once (for the diagnostic)... not sure if I am doing it correctly. Could someone please elaborate? I have found it to be really time consuming but I would like to get the most out of it since I understand it is really helpful in prepping for the LSAT.

Hello,

I have been hearing a lot about the massive amount of importance that 1L can have on one's career. I have also noticed that a common thread among successful 7Sagers on the LSAT is that they seem to study a lot more than most people. >1 year vs 3 months for your typical student.

Given these thoughts, I've been toying with an idea for succeeding in 1L. I don't know much about law school classes or the process so this might be totally off, but I figured I'd put it out there and see what you think. Here it is:

Deferring enrollment for one year before 1L in order to "ghost" the classes. Ghosting classes is where you take classes that you are not enrolled in in order to learn the information without being given an actual grade (and sometimes without even being enrolled in the school). I've heard of it being done in undergrad and possibly MBA programs, but haven't heard of it in law school. Given that 1L seems to have such such a large impact on the rest of your career, it seems that having 2 years of exposure to the material would put you at a large advantage and be very beneficial.

Ghosting would give the opportunity to get introduced to the course material, to experience the workload of law school and the study habits that are effective for it, and would allow you to begin to make the outlines. I've heard that the 1L class load is fairly similar across schools, so this may be effective even if you are ghosting at a different school than you plan to attend.

Given the immense importance 1L has on your career, it seems that having 2 years to study for it versus one would give someone a large advantage?

What do you guys think? Would this be feasible and possible to do in a law class setting? Would this be beneficial and effective? This was fairly off the cuff and I am certainly no expert in law school, so please feel free to correct any incorrect assumptions I may have made.

Thanks so much for the help!

I know it may not be much, but I finally broke an LSAT barrier and scored in the 150's 150 and BR 157! Again, I know it's nothing amazing and very mediocre for many people, but considering all of my prior PT's had been 144 and below, I'm glad I finally got into the 150's haha.

I'm preparing for the June exam and kept telling myself I better break into the 150's soon if not my confidence and motivation was just gonna be horrible. Really motivated to study now and reach my goal of +160 by June. Thank you to all the awesome people here at 7Sage!

Note:

* For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able on your own; then join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

* Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” KEEP THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOURSELF. Win the argument with your reasoning.

* These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

* The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

I needed to post about this because *sings* "for the first time in forever" I have broken a barrier! I'm now ten points up from my first PT and feel as though I'm making new progress. Thank you to everyone on this forum for being so kind and gracious in your advice. May we all conquer the LSAT!

In the games videos, when JY sees the rule "if P, then not Q", he writes:

P -> Q

But when he sees "if Q, then not P" he writes:

Q -> P

But these mean exactly the same thing. Why write it one way but not the other?

It seems to me that something like P (-|-) Q would express the symmetry better, and visually indicate to the reader than P and Q are "equal" with respect to their relationship under this rule.
