I've done all the games sections from PTs 50 - 56 so far. I've gone between -0 and -3 on all of them, and I finished all of them under time, some with 5-8 minutes to spare. Are these sections easier than normal or I am just getting better at games?

I keep getting the message "video not found or access denied".

It was working fine till yesterday, I've restarted my computer, deleted cookies, and tried changing the settings to flash player.

Is it just me?

Hey guys,

I am currently focusing on LG, and I decided to try the LSAT trainer in combination with 7Sage. However, I find the Trainer to be a bit complicated and confusing thus far ( I am currently on chapter 10 of the book). Has anyone else experienced this, and is it worth completing the LG portion?

Thanks!

Anyone else find the the reading comprehension and logic games on this test were significantly easier than others but that the logical reasoning was more difficult? I scored significantly lower on this practice test and I have been scoring on others. I have been averaging around 163 but I only got 160 on this practice test

7sagers in school/working/parenting, how do you balance all of your responsibilities with your studies? I just started school again this week and I already feel like I'm drowning. With 30 days until the LSAT, I'm scoring above my goal. But, I'm still worried about having enough time to complete all four logic games. Agh! Give me some experience, strength, and hope, please.

My LSAC GPA is lower than my UG GPA. I took some classes in high school at a local college and that lowered it a bit. I am worried it will hurt my chances applying to some schools where my degree gpa is at the median but my LSAC gpa is lower than the median.

Can somebody explain how to use the calculator for LSDAS GPA? I went to one school my freshmen year that did plus/minus system and received 2 B's 2 B+'s and 6 A's. Then my next school does not do plus/minus but counts A's as 4 points. Does that mean I enter these in as A's or A+'s? What does 3 passing and 4 passing mean? And also do I put the total number of points I received (at the first school my A's were 3 points and at my final school the A's are 4 points) in the section that says five point? I am really confused.

The undergrad institution I am about to graduate from has the 10 point, or A/B, scale. We do not have A+/- scale. I currently have a 3.93 GPA. Will the LSAC change my GPA? It shouldn't change based on the LSAC requirements, as I have not failed or retaken any classes. How does this work? Thanks.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give a big shout out to Alan for hosting our 7sage event last Thursday night in Toronto, Ontario. I know it's safe to say on behalf of everyone that attended that we all had a great time and appreciate your efforts to bring us all together to finally meet face to face.

To all that could not make it, there is still lots of time to exchange contact info and set up local group sessions :)

If those of you are not as email-savvy as myself, feel free to use this thread to get in contact with students in this area. You can also message me directly if interested in future studying.

Here are a couple of photos from the night (sorry to all who left before this)...

pics to come....

Hi guys i'm wondering if I could get some advice. I started casually studying for the LSAT about two months ago and i'm through 60% of the curriculum. In the fall ill be taking about 9 credit hours of classes so not too bad. In your guys opinion do I have enough time to squeeze in drilling through the cambridge packets for LR and LG then get in enough PT's for the December exam? I hear that some people just do logic games for a month..I would like to do that but it would take too much time away from scheduled PT's. Another option could be February but I will be taking 16 credit hours so I don't think ill have enough time...However the February exam is in the first week of so I could squeeze it in before the pressure of midterms. The next time I could take the test would then be December 2017 probably. I think my first diagnostic after I'm done the curriculum may give me a lot of info too..If I score around 152-152 I may just go ahead and write in December as my goal score is only 160...what do you guys think.

Thanks.

Breakfast: Oatmeal, cereal, hard boiled egg, avocado, pancakes,...etc?

During the test: nuts, fruit,...etc?

I am taking the December LSAT. Should I start writing the PS while studying for the LSAT(now or in a month or so), the day or so after the December LSAT, or the day I get my score back?

Also, could I use the same personal statement for every school or are these schools that have different personal statement topics from the general open ended topic? If so, which schools are these?

The September test is fast-approaching. I've been getting mixed messages online with regards to prep in the last two weeks before the exam. I had a couple questions that I thought I'd put up for discussion. I realize a lot of this might be up to personal preference but wanted to see what you guys would have to say.

1) Do you write any *new* PT's in the final week?

2) If yes, is it really worthwhile to write the most recently published one. (I.e. PT 78 before September 2016 exam?) Wouldn't this limit your chances of reviewing and possibly affect your confidence if you write poorly considering it's most likely to reflect what the actual test would look like?

3) Assuming you are in a position to clear your schedule the week before the test, would it be better to do light review (i.e. drills and timed sections) or try to take time off of the lsat and relax (seeing as how I find frequently mentioned - you are unable to change little if anything in the last week anyways)

Recently there have been a theory that accommodated test takers will have to take the experimental section of the LSAT. I have contacted the LSAC through an email and I have stated:

"To Whom it May concern,

I am writing to the accommodations department of the LSAC about individuals who have extra time on the LSAT. If individuals have time and a half or double time to take the LSAT, will they be required to take the experimental section of the LSAT or will they only take the 4 sections and the writing sample like they have done in the past? For example, I have taken the June LSAT with time and a half due to my disabilities and was only required to take four sections and the writing sample. For the upcoming September LSAT I was approved for double time on the LSAT, so will I be taking four sections and the writing sample or 5 sections and the writing sample?"

Once I receive an answer ( I will receive an expedited answer due to an argument I had with an LSAC representative) I will inform everyone with a screenshot of LSAC's response. I have provided a link down below that outlines the lawsuit between the ADA and LSAC. I hope we may get an answer in our favor!

If anyone has sent an email to LSAC regarding the situation, may you please share your email and their response so we may get to the bottom of the situation at hand. Thank You!

Hi 7Sagers,

I was hoping to get your advice on a current issue I'm having. I am signed up to take the September LSAT in about one month, and am PT'ing roughly in the 165's, trying to break 170. I unfortunately found out about 7Sage late in the game, and I had always been told that I shouldn't take PT's until right before the actual test. Of course, I've now learned that's ridiculous, and I should take at least 20-30 PT's before the real exam - but I only have 5 weeks left. (I started taking PT's 2 weeks ago, and have taken 5 so far.) My question: is it better to take a PT every single day (and blind review that same day), 6 days a week? Or, conversely, take a test one day, blind review the next, then take another PT the day after, and so forth. If I did it 6 days a week, I would complete 33 PT's by the test date; if I do every other, I'll have done 20.

Taking a PT AND BR'ing every single day definitely doesn't seem to be for the faint of heart, but it also seems there's a very high correlation between number of prep tests taken and score (I also do struggle a little with time constraints).

Any advice from you guys would be really REALLY appreciated. Thanks!

Is it true that the newer LG sections are easier than usual? I've heard that the most brutal LG sections are in the early 2000s. Is there any truth to this? June and February 2016 test takers (if there are any left) what kind of games did you run into on the actual test?

Thanks!

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!
