I started with PT38 earlier this month and I finished PT40 yesterday. I’m taking June 2017, and I'm planning on taking 2 or 3 PrepTests a week in order. Should I start taking PrepTests around PT60s?

Hi all,

As JY has mentioned in many of his videos we should be expecting a "weird game" on the new LSATs, and if it doesn't appear, it's an added bonus.

That being said, where could I find a list of "weird games" to practice?

Also, have the "weird games" on the recent LSATs (PT's in the late 70's and early 80's) been similar to any other games you have seen in the past?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, this may sound or seem like a dumb questions, but where do I find: All PrepTests in Starter (36 - 44) are now viewable and printable as DRM protected e-docs? And what does DRM mean? Thanks.

For anyone who missed it, or for anyone who'd like to sit through it again, this webinar is a new and improved version of my "So I'm done with the curriculum now what" webinar. I wanted to do this one again in order to emphasize that it's not just for people coming right out of the curriculum, it's for anyone who is in the PT phase. Whether you've only just finished the curriculum or whether you've been PTing for a long time, my hope is that there is something here for everyone to use in order to build a deliberate and effective study strategy based on his/her individual performance. We'll be doing one on Monday and another on Wednesday, so I hope everyone can make it!

All,

I'm new to 7SAGE. I haven't started PT'ing yet. I am going through the course curriculum first. How long did it take you to get through the curriculum? Just trying to order some PT's and plan out my schedule. I have a full time job while studying for the LSAT. Planning to sit in September. Thanks!

Hello fellow 7Sagers,

A thought struck me this morning and I wanted to share it with you guys. Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember JY Ping saying that the difficulty of questions (Easy, Easier, Medium, Hard, Very Hard) are based on the data of 7Sagers who take the preptests. If enrolled members adhere to the order of taking the exams from older to more recent, and in the process of doing so, it is reasonable to assume that their logical skills are improving and hence their accuracy, then doesn't that eschew the representative difficulty of questions on the more recent tests (i.e. 50s, 60s, and 70s)?

I would very much appreciate if someone, with the appropriate knowledge of this, could clarify or correct my misconceptions. Thank you.

Has the flash player option for videos been discontinued? Sometimes my computer will not load the default player, and I noticed that the alternative option doesn't seem to be available for me any more.

Is this the case for anyone else?

Is it possible for you to take an LSAT that has a real section that you have done as an experimental on a previous take?

Has anyone taken an Indian LSAT?

I have taken almost every LSAT released while preparing to write my first LSAT lsat December.

Surfing on the internet, I have noticed that there are 4 Indian LSATs available. Although I have heard a few times from here and there that Indian LSATs are much easier than our USA and Canada LSAT, after taking the second one (the first one was the same with Sample LSAT), I felt that this one is not that much easier, maybe only a little.

I would love to know what others think about this one, especially about the second one.

How gauge if we are dealing with a NA “bridge” or an NA “shield” question?

Hello,

I'm not sure how to contact 7Sage customer support. Is there a "Contact Us" feature that I'm not seeing? I initially purchased the Ultimate package with the expectation of taking the June 2017 LSAT; however, I just accepted a new job that requires an out-of-state move as well as juggling two jobs between now and July. Given all these changes, I won't be able to devote enough time to studying between now and June and am hoping to extend my access to the content I purchased through September. Is that possible?

Thanks!

I only have a few days access left in this invaluable 7sage world, and thought it'd be good to reach out to the other ancient (35+ year old) folks who are likewise chasing their law school dream later in life. For me, I see it as a productive use of a mid-life crisis (sports cars depreciate much faster than JD degrees), and something I've always wanted to do. Whilst doing the school tours and tests I'm surrounded by babies/young whippersnappers, but I'm hoping once I settle into a part-time/weekend program the average age will increase a bit. Learning the test seemed a bit intuitive after having spent a decade or so working with lawyers and picking up how they think, but study time was always sandwiched between career, family and civic duties. 7sage was the perfect fit, and I watched my average score jump about 15 points from beginning to end of the course. I've talked a few friends into considering law school as well, and will be singing the praises of this site for years.

So what about you? What inspired the return to school? Challenges? Favorite schools?

This Saturday will be my first time taking the LSAT and so far I've taken more prep tests than I can count over the past months. Although I will probably take it again, I'm one of those people who historically does significantly better when taking the test twice. Thus I'm planning ahead and taking it this Saturday followed by a later try during my last year of college.

Best of luck to everyone and please make sure y'all are winding down and destressing. Take care of yourselves and see you on the other side. (3(/p)

I am taking my first practice test soon. Should I do the circling for unsure answers that is discussed in the blind review method? I am basically confused if this method is for practice tests or just individual sections.

I just noticed that none of my lessons are marked as completed. I still have the different percentages at the top of the page but that's it. If this is a new change how do we now determine which lessons have been completed? I'm logged in from work and haven't checked any other computers or phones. Using Internet Explorer. Can't access other browsers at the moment.

So I'm finally getting my hands on the earlier PT used in the CC (I have been using the silent videos)...yay me! This is probably a dumb question, but how are y'all timing yourselves with the question sets at the end of each section if y'all are using paper copies since most are in different tests and maybe even books? Seems like it would be hard to get an accurate time measure switching PT books for one question.

Good morning! I hope all of you are doing well. I am sorry to bother you, but I was wondering what your average growth is? I took an LSAT practice with zero knowledge from the practical 10 about 6 weeks ago, and scored a 147. I only took one in the past month with only the help of the LSAT Trainer and scored a 155, and have just taken one today, after taking this course for about ten hours, and scored a 161. I have studying pretty rigidly over the last five weeks or so, or as rigidly as I can on top of teaching 27 credit hours, but I am worried that I am not on track for June's test. Is there any form of gauge for me to tell, or do any of you have any experiences you could share? Thank you so much in advanced for your time and consideration.

Hi guys,

I want to summarize some stuff in points and hope you guys can chime in and give some much appreciated suggestions!

-studied one month 6-8 hours a day for February LSAT. Went from 149-164 average.

-took February test, Spazzed out on LG and RC , my BEST sections, and missed a section each (guessed) and surprisingly did well on LR when I was doing poorly before *i was more confident though in my answer choices that I got to than I have ever been on my PTs so I guess that's a plus

-GPA is 3.26 so I need a low to mid 170 to get into USC.and a mid 160 for UCI. due to my recent mess up I think USC is definitely out and UCI is in critical condition.

-need to set backup plan in motion.

-I have certain weaknesses such as applying the flaws I see in passages of LR to answer choices, I hate inferences in LR and some smaller stuff which is awefully specific. Powerscore book didn't help me because I feel like it focuses so much more on structure than content. Very basic and generalized I was so disappointed. It didn't help me to be a better critical thinker like JYs videos on say LG did.

-I need a more tailor made approach, I need to read and retain better, and I need to up my vocab as well lol. And my timing needs to definitely improve.

-if you guys think it's possible to get to the low to mid 170s in the June or September LSAT, then I will start studying in about two weeks regardless of how February turns out.

I broke 160 on my PTs very early on in my studying...hit a 166, then started to decline back to 161-162.

Thanks and sorry for the long post. But what do u guys recommend in terms of study guides and options given my scenario?

@"Jonathan Wang" has agreed to have an LSAT chat with us and answer our questions! Think of it as "Jonathan's millennial-friendly nondenominational block of time". Don't miss this awesome chance to learn from his expert advise and ask questions. Please write the questions that you'd like Jonathan to answer in the discussion below.

Don't miss out on this

Do: Ask general LSAT questions like--- "What are 3 common mistakes people make when studying the LSAT and how can we avoid them?" or "What are some ways we can get better at RC?"

Don't: Ask specific case study questions like---"I have a 3.99 gpa and a 168 LSAT score, what are the chances I'm going to get into Columbia if I apply next week at 22:00GMT?" --_-- Please don't do that. In efforts to maximize everyone's time those types of questions will be skipped.

I know it's recommended to wake up early or be ready by 8:30ish to simulate test-day conditions, but what about the June exam that starts at 1pm?

I'm an early-morning person so the June start time is a serious nightmare (or rather, afternoon-mare) for me, because I tend to hit an afternoon slump, or at least feel not as alert around noon. I've tried waking up later, but having a hard time with things like giving up morning runs when there's less traffic, to generally feeling bad about losing that morning study time, when I'm studying full time and usually get a good chunk done before noon. I feel more productive on an early morning routine, but perhaps it's not worth the risk of a mid-day-slump-during-June-exam?

Any thoughts or experience on getting used to the June LSAT start time?

Looking for ideas :) So far I'm finding (no surprise) that waking up around 7-8AM, having a quick fulfilling breakfast (oatmeal, fruit, tea), doing a quick workout (30 mins or so) does wonders to my whole day not just the studying portion. Taking a shower at night before bed also really helps me because I'm able to sleep better and I'm not wasting too much time in the morning getting ready.

Hey guys, I'm currently living in Bellevue and looking for a study buddy. If anyone from the area is interested let me know!

Hi all,

How many times would you retake a logic game when you are under time the 2nd time around? For example, I just did a medium-difficult logic game. I royally messed up on the board and took 20 minutes on what was supposed to be a 10 minute game. Then I repeated the game right afterward, this time doing the game board correctly, and got well under the target time (6 minutes).

At this point, I will definitely be repeating the game tomorrow and a week from now, and maybe further along the line than that. I've read @Pacifico's awesome post and seen the video and guide for the Fool Proof method on 7sage. When you''re hitting under a target time, what "standard" do you use when you know to move onto another game? For example, in the scenario above, would you redo that game or not, and why?

Hey guys just need some advice. So, my first take was yesterday and I have been studying for about a year. I can't really gauge what type a score I will get. If need be, my second take would be June. I just don't know when to start studying for the June LSAT. I am feeling quite drained and don't feel like jumping right into studying but I don't want to get sluggish with the methods either :/. Also, if I don't start studying again would it be wise to focus on weaknesses rather than doing the core curriculum again? Some pointers on that would be great as well.

Thanks again :)
