Hey Everyone,
I was thinking about starting to take PT's in 40's starting this week. Is anyone else also planning to start taking them soon? I wanted to see if maybe we could get through some of them together. We could go over even RC sections ( I kinda feel like we neglect to get each other's help on them) and it ends up costing us points.
Moreover, it would be nice to know who is in same phase <3
The mood I am in <3

For LR questions asking you to express the main point or the conclusion, how do you know when the answer is going to state the exact conclusion sentence in the stimulus or if the question wants you the conclusion that comes from combining the premises and expressing what the argument is saying overall? I can elaborate if this makes no sense but I feel like with some conclusion questions the answer is basically a restatement of the particular conclusion sentence in the argument but for other questions it's looking for me to combine the premises and overall conclude what the argument is getting at.
I heard 72 and 76 are brutal...Which prep test in 70s is your personal best?
For some reason...I miss a lot on this question.
What some strategy worked for you?
I tried to find whether they agree, disagree, no opinion strategy but it did not really work for me...the part I thought they disagree turned out one of them does not have opinion and something like that.
How do you tackle this type of question?
I know Yale, Northwestern, UVA, Michigan ask for optional essays...are there any others among T14 schools?
should I write optional essays?
Hi,
I found I miss points especially on this question.
Sometimes we have to find info from sentences located in different place in passages...and its hard to find the right info immediately.
How do you answer those questions?
Do you re-read the whole passage again or just answer by memory?
Hello all.
So i'm currently in the core curriculum trying to do the exercises and I have no problem uploading the exercises in pdf format, but I am not provided any option to print or open in iBooks.
Is this feature only available on laptops and computers? Help!
Or do you blind review every single question and if so, do you watch JY's explanation for all of them as well?
Just wanted to know what people do.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I am debating buying a 7sage prep course right now; I am currently using the free trial. However, when I look at the video explanations on my phone for LR and RC for the June 2007 exam on the free trial, they do not load on my phone. I have an iPhone 5. Only the LG video explanations work.
Can you only access the LR and RC video explanations from a laptop? Please let me know!
Hey guys! If you're taking the December LSAT (which is on my birthday this year!) and your account is inconveniently set to expire a few days before the test date, just email me and I'll extend your account for free through the December test. (Make sure you include your 7Sage email!)
I can guarantee you that my inbox will fill up with these, so give me time to reply to them all. If your account expires by the time I get to your email, don't worry, I'll reactivate it for you. :)
For those of you who are expiring after, good luck on the LSAT! We here at 7Sage are rooting for you.
So i will be getting my preptest 79 november 28 or 29. what should i do with this preptest before the december lsat? it will only be a few days before the real deal. should i just do a blind review and try the Logic games timed? any advice will be appreciated. I'm sure there are others with this predicament.
I just wanted to see how you guys view all of the elements of the application. I know the personal statement is the most important, but how do you guys see the other elements we can add to the applications? Are all of you writing those? Will they push students over the top or are they kind of moot points?
Basically, are they necessary, and will schools look down on you if you don't use them?
Hi
So on LG I meet this kind of rule sometimes
A---B→C---D "If A is before B, then C is before D"
Is this actually bi-conditional in sinmple sequence game?
For grouping sequence game, it may not be necessary true, but for simple sequece game there is only either before or after something, so...
By the way we cannot delete our threads right?
I wonder what if we solve the question before get any replies...do not want to bother other ppl in that case :(
I'll just leave this here...

I just took sec 1 of pt79. Has anyone else? I did awful!! My score was much lower than most of my LR sections. I am worried.
If I took my first LSAT in June 2015 and decided to take it twice after, when is the next test date after the 2-year period that I could take it? Is it June 2017 or October 2017?
Hi everyone:)
I probably wouldn't be comfortable posting this in any other forum but....everyone in here has been so kind to me thus far so, I figure I can be a little annoying haha!! In my previous post I mentioned that i'm not done my UG but I suspect my GPA should be about 3.8-3.85. I'm not exactly a natural at the LSAT however (137 diagnostic lol). I find myself being someone who tends to easily get frustrated with intellectual work sometimes. I always give it my all nonetheless and I like to think I do good work, but because studying for the LSAT will presumably be frustration beyond frustration (at times anyways), does anyone have any advice on how to manage the frustration and discouragement that I assume comes with months of studying for something and only seeing gradual improvement haha?
Thanks everyone!
My booklet just came in today! Looks like it has a very tough curve. Anyone take it as a PT yet? If so, how did it go?
Hi,
I am writing in December and my goal is to get 167/8. For people who got 167/8 on the test day, what was your average score like? :)
Took the the test 3 times. twice when I wasn't ready and the 3rd time I didn't break 170.
Those of you reading this don't take until you are ready or else you will end up like me.
Anyways is there any material about advice tips etc. I know the basic stuff (3 times 2 year period etc.) so yeah any help of information would be great! thanks fam.

obligatory Harambe pic because why not.
I assume there are thousands of law school students, and lawyers who have been caught doing some silly stuff in college. I got an underage drinking ticket when I was 20, and that is the only stain on my record. From the best of my recollection, it is not on my record. Should I still admit to this in my application? Will it impact my chances if I do?
I am writing this post because I wished someone told it to me one year ago. This post is to all those 7Sagers who are considering to sign up for the course but they are not sure 7Sage worth it or not. I want to say do not hesitate, your time is the most precious asset you have in your LSAT prep and it is limited. 7Sage explains fundamentals concepts in a very understandable and simple way and do not try to make concepts more complicated than they are. I try to explain it using my personal experience.
I was watching an LG game explanation for the second time, going through the game after 11 months and it hit me why 7Sage is superior to many of other courses out there when J.Y explained not both rule in less than a minute. I remember more than one year ago when for the first time I encounter the concept of not both rule in one of Kaplan LSAT preparation books. Kaplan explanation was correct but it was so long and confusing that the one concept itself convinced me to sign up for their in person course. Fortunately for me they did not have any in-person course in my city which forced me to search for online course that lead me to compare them with 7Sage and give 7Sage a shot .
Some of the courses out their try make concepts complicated in their self study books with the primary goal of sign you up for their over priced in person courses, give 7Sage a shot before signing up for that overpriced in person course.
Please understand this is my personal opinion as someone who started below 150s and improved my prep score more than 16 points in a year thanks to 7Sage and its helpful community.
Hi guys, you have all been so helpful thus far. I am only a senior in college and have realized thanks to these forums and the Thinking LSAT podcast that I should not rush into law school. I am not completely sure that law is for me, and have realized that law school will always be there. I am currently looking for jobs and was wondering how you go about finding a job as a legal assistant/intern? My bachelors degree will be in Finance. I would ideally like to work in Boston. I have heard time and time again that this is a good way to figure out if law is for you. Would you all agree?
Please feel free to be completely honest with me, what advice would you give your 21 year old self?
Is there a reason why there is no set length requirements in applications this year?
Generally speaking, it should be 500 words, correct?
Also, is double space a bad idea?
Dear All,
I need some advice. I currently work in Big Law and I am struggling to find the time to study for this test. I am taking the February LSAT and would still like to go to school for the Fall of 2017. With that being said, I have rescheduled my exam twice due to my workload. Any advice on how one manages their time efficiently would be greatly appreciated. I really would like to go to Georgetown Law and know that I have a long shot for this admission cycle since most, if not all of the spots, will be already offered. Also, I am struggling with time when taking practice tests. I tend to freeze when I go and do timed sections. Any thoughts on how to handle time for studying and how to practice doing better while timing yourself will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
