It completely fills up the photo box.

This is one of those.. had I known back then.. stories. I spent 2 years at a "nationally" accredited college.. not regionally accredited, aka diploma mill or what have you.. I did earn an associate degree (paralegal studies). It was right out of high school, I actually had no idea at the time that my credits were not going to transfer to a 4 year university.. nor did I realize the harm I was doing to myself by going to this school (first generation college student, parents were proud, understandably, that I was actually pursuing college given my unattractive behavior during high school years). I did get a good job afterward and still work as a paralegal so I mean, it could've been worse, I think. Any way, still not giving up on the law school goal, I started over essentially, and 3 years later I am nearly done with a bachelor degree. I do know the LSAC requires the transcript from that school, so I am wondering will the credential assembly services be calculating in the grades from a school that is not regionally accredited? I did call the LSAC and the lady did not really understand my question, put me on hold then came back and said she thinks so but doesn't see why they wouldn't. ??? Anyone have an idea? I know that grad schools will not factor in that GPA. In using the 7sage UGPA calculator, the 2 year school actually boosts my GPA so I am kind of hoping they do count it.. but not sure??

This would be cool and I wouldn't have to use countdown timer . com bs.

That is all.

Hello 7sagers,

I need your advice on how to react to this drop…

I’ve reached my peak score in the late 60 pts scoring 161-164 range which is my target score. I thought I was definitely ready for the September test.

To my surprise, starting with pt69 to 70, I felt like I was so lost in LR and scored 157 on both of them.

Is it just me who feels there’s a dramatic change in LR Qstems?

I feel so discouraged and am even considering to postpone the test..

I believe standardized tests should retain similar difficulties over tests and these differences are such a bummer..

Any suggestions..?

Hey everyone!

LG is generally my strength, but when it comes to In/Out games I absolutely bomb them every time (time-and strategy/diagramming-wise).

What have some of you done to improve on In/Out games to improve your accuracy and timing? Just doing certain games over and over again (basically fool-proof method?). I feel like I try to do that, but in the end I just memorize the answers and I don't get anything out of it after a while.

Would love to get your input!

What is the overlap between these two concepts? It seems like answer choices need to be on a certain side of the arrow to be correct.

I have a somewhat weird question.

You see the LSAT is graded on a curve which means your score also depends on others’ scores.

Does this mean that you’re more likely to get a higher score for the same amount of correct answers if other test takers do badly?

If that’s the case, does it mean that you’re more likely to get a higher score if you take the test, say in Japan where the average test takers’ English proficiency is way lower than say, in the US?

Hi, I was just wondering if anybody knows if 7Sage has a tool that allows a user to download all the notes they make during the core curriculum in those note boxes, in a pdf or word document. I've been searching the site and haven't found one :/

I made a ton of notes and now that I'm done the core curriculum I'd like to be able to print out everything I wrote without having to manually copy and paste content from a very lengthy page of notes under the "my notes" tab. By having my notes printed out, I wouldn't need to have to log in and scroll down pages to look for stuff, I could just flip through a stapled booklet. For me this would make cementing core curriculum ideas into my head easier, plus I wouldn't have to stare at a screen all day.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I have noticed that once every few PTs I take, an answer will be removed from scoring. I was wondering if anyone on 7sage has any insight as to how LSAC determines which questions to exempt from scoring, is any part of this methodology published, are LR questions the only type they exempt etc? I really would just find any additional information about this fascinating so please share!

Hi there! I am scheduled to take the September 24th LSAT and I am needing advice on whether I should postpone and take the December LSAT or go ahead with the September LSAT as a trial run and cancel my score and then take the December LSAT. I have only taken three PT's as of last week, my first, which I bombed with a timed score of 136 and BR 161. However, my second PT, I went up 6 points to a 142 and BR to a 164 and third PT remained at 142 but BR score went up to 166. My weakest area is LG-- I have not been able to successfully complete the section in its entirety (taking over 10 minute a game) but I am improving. I figure once I have the LG down then my score with dramatically improve. Also, I have completed the curriculum and have been studying since the beginning of May 2016. I have been studying at least 4 hours a day during the week and 8 hours/day during the weekend. I can’t seem to shake the test anxiety under the timed conditions and I fear this with a lack of confidence in my LG section is really hurting me. I am now planning now on doing 4 PT's a week until the exam date and strengthen my low points in between PT days. I have been researching discussions on similar situations regarding postponing/canceling LSAT's and it does discourage me and make me question whether I should do the same. I realize that there is a month before the September LSAT but I still believe that I can raise my score to level my BR (mid 160's) within the month despite how foolish it may seem. My plan as of right now is to go through with the September LSAT regardless but I would only keep the score if I see significant/consistent improvement in the next two weeks (leveling with my BR score or close to) and If I do not see significant improvement then simply use it as a trial run and cancel my score after, then retake in December. I REALLY do not want to postpone for next year and really want to do anything and everything to be able to attend law school in fall 2017. Does anyone have any good advice/considerations/tips haven't taken into account? Will taking the December LSAT hurt me as far as admission applications? Is a cancellation a bad idea? I really appreciate any helpful advice.

This may be more of a therapeutic post than an informative one but maybe it will help some who are in the same boat! =)

I initially registered to take the February 2016 LSAT. I was a full time college student and thought a few months and I would absolutely be ready to take on this beast. Little did I know how much of a beast this exam actually is. As the test date approached I realized how unprepared I was and decided to postpone until June. With all the excitement of graduation and finishing the last hurdle of my final semester, I was again unprepared for the June exam and postponed AGAIN until September. Here it is, now the end of August and I have been back at work full time since graduation and have not dedicated nearly enough time to this. I thought about postponing again until December but reading a few posts on here and finally waking up, I decided to cancel my September exam and I will not be registering for the exam until I feel absolutely ready! (June 2017 is my secret, not so secret anymore, goal though, hehe).

This was a difficult decision to make for me. I put restrictions on myself such as "By the time I am 30 I want to be........" And have finally realized how unnecessary and detrimental that is. Putting off law school for another year and a half, two years is scary but I want to give myself the best chance possible and that's what we all need to do...allow ourselves the best chance to reach our max potential regardless of how long it may take. We are worth that!

So here I am, end of August, not registered for the LSAT, re-starting the 7Sage course and feeling thrilled about it. =)

Hi,

I’ve completed my schooling this year and I’m confused in selecting the right career option that suits me. I’m interested in welding and love to select it as my future job but don’t know much about this. I’ve gone through this website *removed* and I am interested in the courses they are offering. Is there anyone working in this field? What can be the working conditions like stress, physical comfort travel etc? What are the opportunities for someone who enter this career? Does this career provide time to balance with family and work? Please share your experiences.. Thanks in advance….

Hello 7sagers !

I have been watching the discussions closely, and I first want to say congrats on all of your progress !! Many of you are doing extremely well. Unfortunately I have hit rock bottom. I took a course over the summer and my initial diagnostic score of 144 went down to a 138 by the end of two months. I was supposed to take the September LSAT, but I have moved it back to December because I want to get the best score possible. I am working on LSAT every single day. I feel i am getting better but i have yet to see any improvements. I would be extremely satisfied if i could get to 160. I know i have unmatched work ethic, but it seems like im having the time of my life trying to grasping the material. For now I am reading the powerscore books, using practice tests, and flashcards to help me. I think i can make the biggest improvement in Logic reasoning because I enjoy it so much. However, I need to make at least 18 correct in each section to get a 160. Please help!! I am not sure what to to do. What are some techniques that have helped you all? Im familiar with LSAT now with all the practice i have put in over the past three months. I just need to break through.

PLEASE list the key components that helped you piece things together for each section. Was their key videos that helped you make sense of everything ? Please let me know.

Admin note: Hoy moly, please dont post titles in all caps...

I haven't had any score improvement from ~3 months of studying. I just took a prep test after going through ~50% of the 7sage curriculum in the past 2 months and my score actually got worse. I got a 157 a few days ago, my last PT (2 months ago) I got a 160. I feel more confident in answering the questions, finished almost all of the logic games (before I wouldn't be able to finish them), but I still got pretty much the same amount of questions wrong. I took PrepTest 52, the logic games were kind of different than what I've encountered so far. My wrong answers in LR are now more concentrated in the "hard" questions instead of all over the place, so I guess I'm happy with that.

Do I just hope for improvement in the next month and take the September test and then take December if I don't like my score?

I would like at least a 160.

I know the pretty obvious answer would be that taking the test shouldn't be based on hoping for the best and of course I should postpone. The problem is the December LSAT is the Saturday before my finals (I'm on quarter system at a UC). I can definitely handle studying for the LSAT along with studying for my finals and just showing up to take the test on that day, but I really doubt I'll be in peak mental condition. I get pretty bad test anxiety even though I do always end up getting good grades.

Maybe my GPA & personal statement will be strong enough that if I get a bit under a 160 I'll still get into my TC ? :(

I am registered for the September LSAT and I scored a 171 (!!!!) on my first timed, proctored, new PT out of the curriculum (December 2008, PT 56). I realize consistency is key with this, so what are everyone's recommendations on how I should keep this going?

Did you guys use a passport photo to upload for your ticket, or did you take a really good selfie at home?

How might I obtain the LSAT Prep Test #43 by Tuesday? While there are a couple on Amazon, they all will arrive past Wednesday. I was hoping to purchase the test and have it arrive Tuesday... so I can join the BR group Wednesday evening.

Hi guys! Hope y'all had a great weekend! Just a really quick question for you guys.

So… JY's memory method didn't work for me at all-- I tried this a WHILE ago multiple times. Nicole's strategies, however, have been far more helpful to me. Now, do you guys think that these two methods are complementary? I feel like they are quite different…if not the opposite. I've been really confused. Oh yes, Mike Kim's RC tips do help too and his is more closely aligned with Nicole's. Like Mike's, Nicole's strategies don't require that we memorize the key components of the contents even though I do concur that both methods insist that we focus on the reasoning structure. Has anyone felt the same before? I'd like to know what y'all think about this. Thanks!

Hi everyone, what's the best way to get a printed copy of the exercise problems? Has anyone successfully printed out images of the silent videos?

Thanks.

I would like to know the best guessing strategies regarding the LSAT in each section

I have had access to 7sage for pretty much a year now. I am writing the LSAT in September and decided I would take the Oxford Seminar LSAT prep course to get a little extra prep in. I still have a session tomorrow and I can honestly say, without a doubt, that it is a useless course compared 7sage. Like honestly, 7sage is far more superior in every single way. Just like J.Y says, they use convoluted names for questions and logic games which end up confusing people. They even discouraged splitting game boards initially!!!! The worst part is that they had us write a Practice test and IMMEDIATELY corrected the answers without a blind review. I actually ended up walking out and going home to BR. If people are thinking of doing condensed seminar courses like the Oxford Seminar, spend that money on upgrading your extension or version of 7sage. Seriously 7sage you the best LSAT prep out there. I may be a scum bag for doing this, but I suggested to all the other students that they purchase 7sage instead of continuing in the course.

Goodluck with your studies everyone and keep on grinding !!!

Hey Guys,

I've been trying to practice and grind on Sufficient Assumption questions. I know how mechanical these can be, but I have found out that I am having trouble translating the stimulus. Overall, I understand the lawgic and everything else, but it has been frustrating because I am having trouble at the first step and not even being able to utilize lawgic. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

In the past those who wrote with accommodations did not take the variable section. Starting in September on and onward accommodated testers will be taking the test with the variable section.

Hello,

I'm considering purchasing add-ons. I discovered 7sage pretty late, and I'm already a year into my studies and will be taking the September 2016 test. I'm scoring in the mid to high 160s. I feel that I have a solid grasp of the concepts and I just want to iron out my wrinkles. I've already watched tons of 7sage LG videos on YouTube, read several prep books including the LSAT Trainer, and browsed a lot of forums.

That being said, I'm now working on the PTs in the 70s+. I'm hesitant to purchase 7sage's full packages because they're pricey and so I'm considering purchasing just the individual add-ons from 72 to 78.

- Am I allowed to purchase add ons without purchasing any of the main packages?

- If I do purchase just the add-ons, do I also get access to the basic tutorials (in case I need to reference some terminology in the individual explanation video)?

- Can I purchase one add-on at first, and then purchase the rest later if I feel that they're worth the money? Would this extend the duration in which I can view the add-ons or does my counter start over for the subsequent purchases?

Lastly, I'm interested to hear what everyone's thoughts are on the add-on explanations and whether you think they're worth it.

Thanks.
