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!

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!

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

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

Hello everyone,

I am new to the 7sage community currently taking the Premium Course. After wasting thousands of dollars on another course, and after taking a year off school I am putting all my effort and focus into taking the LSAT for June latest September. I am wondering if it is worth it to purchase the Ultimate Plus Course, as I am not quite comfortable doing only easy problem sets as everybody knows the LSAT is definitely not at all easy. My cold diagnostic is 137 as I did not attempt alot of questions due to the need to work on time management and 151 with blind review untimed and answering all the questions. I at least want to aim to get a 160 or 155 lowest on test day. Money is super tight but I know investing in education is priceless if it can open doors. Anybody find the Admissions package helpful? I would appreciate any insight.

Thank You,

Michelle

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.

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:)

Hello folks,

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

Roses are red

Violets are blue

You should be studying

And I should be too.

Hope everyone has had a decent holiday!

Keep grinding!

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

I took a cold kaplan PT and got a 134 (i know its not a real LSAT exam now) so I started study with 7sage for 6 months and took another PT. I got a 149 w/o a bubble sheet and a 143 with. For the last 5 exams Ive been suck between 146-148 and feel horrible after each PT. I tried BR but I found looking over the answer's I got wrong on the computer without knowing which AC I got wrong was more helpful. I don't know what to do. Any advice? I hope to get a 160

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)

For real. Don't do it. Every so often I come across people who've made the conscious decision to take on the LSAT and are failing miserably at understanding fundamental concepts because they're too focused on searching for a shortcut to hone down the material. Cut it out. The LSAT will challenge every ounce of knowledge you possess. It will humble you and make you feel defeated. Get back up and really try to understand and learn what you're playing with. You have to develop an appreciation for the beast. The skills learned to get good at the LSAT aren't useless. Realize what you are implementing to achieve a high score will give you an astronomical advantage in Law School whether it's discipline in sticking through reading dense material (love you too, RC), scoping out a main argument or discrepancy in a piece of writing,(you are NOT the real MVP, LR) or reading a list of facts to give determination of what is true and what must be false. ( I see what you did there, LG). Bottom line is the LSAT is not something that should be viewed as redundant or extraneous. Seeking short cuts or silver bullets will result in a standstill in your prep and you'll be left to wonder what could have been done if you just went through this the honest way. As Chef said, do it properly or don't do it at all!

It does not say on some law school instructions...how many pages to write in this case?

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation before. Last Saturday my test center was closed due to severe weather and I have yet to receive any information from LSAC as to whether or not there will be a make up test.

My LR score recently improved from consistent -8,6 to -3,2

At this period, focusing on specific question types in detail really helped

However, ever since my score improved to -3 range I stopped seeing any pattern in questions that I miss

and I am actually amazed by the fact that its almost always 3 questions wrong per section no matter what type it is.

(as if I am destined to miss 3...)

Would there be an advice on closing the gap from -3 to perhaps 0?

Hi,

We've all been there. What would you do if you messed up an LG? As in, you either realize 3-7 minutes in that you misdiagrammed a rule by misreading or otherwise, or you made an erroneous inference and none of the questions are making sense. Strategies to minimize the harm done, please?

(Note: This is strictly from practice test experiences, but it got me thinking what would happen on the real test... :S)

Apologies for the dramatic title (and for maybe getting that song from Buffy stuck in your head), but I could really use some advice.

Background:

I took the February LSAT and feel very confident about my performance in 4/5 sections... but on the 5th, I know I missed at least 4 questions. I made an absolute rookie mistake, something I haven't done for months: I skipped over a %$*%ing rule when reading the prompt for Game 3. I just passed right by it like it didn't exist.

I caught my mistake 3 questions into the game, but between redoing the set-up and the questions, I only had 6 minutes left for the last game. I literally bubbled in 3 random choices for the last questions on the scantron when I heard the proctor start the "put your pencils down" sentence, and I was rough-guessing on the other questions anyway.

I've accepted my February score isn't going to be what I need.

...

(mostly accepted it. Okay, there's some small part of me that still hopes that, given the recent flurry of statistically improbable events, maybe I'll luck into a 175. But that small part is stupid, so I'm trying to ignore it)

Current Issue:

I've registered for June, but I'm feeling a bit lost in terms of how to structure my studying. I mean, I feel REALLY good about the rest of how the rest of the test went. I was PTing between 175-179 for my last 10 practice tests. When practicing, I took two 4 section tests back-to-back with a 15 min break between, and the actual test felt short in comparison. With the exception of that one, stupid mistake, I really feel I would have gotten the score I was hoping for out of Feburary. (Not that it matters, but I killed it on the first 2 games on the real LG section and I finished the experimental LG section with time to spare).

So what should I do? Go through all the curriculum again? Take some time off? I had such a definitive plan studying for the February test, now I just feel lost. I'm NEVER going to make the mistake again of not checking off the rules as I diagram them, but how do I prevent myself from making a new, exciting, and equally obvious mistake?

I have PTs 36 - 55 and PT 80 left fresh (took 56-79); I work full-time Tues-Sat, and I'm in CA which makes joining a BR group tough since it seems like most groups are on EST.

Anyway, reading over what I just wrote, it's clear that the main issue is likely just how disheartened I feel. The months of studying, going MIA on my friends, abdicating 90% of household responsibilities to my saint of a spouse, going to bed at 9pm every night: all of that effort and I blew it on the dumbest mistake. It's hard to brush that off and start again, though I know I have to.

###So, good people of 7Sage, what are my next steps? How do I regroup, and what does that look like? Thanks for reading this novella, I really appreciate any and all advice you have to give :)
