Hey y'all! Just had a quick question about using The LSAT Trainer. Do any of you use the study schedules provided by the Trainer or do you just move at your own pace and do the appropriate drills?

I just began the Trainer again and am at lesson 5. I love what I'm reading but just wasn't sure how to go about drilling and whether or not to follow one its proposed study schedules.

Any insight would be helpful! Thanks :)

Hey Guys Just a Question,

I'm not doing very well on the RC. I'm rushing very quickly to get the 4 sections done, and I cannot concentrate very well because of the rush.

Do you think it would be a good idea to aim to only do 3/4 sections? I think I could more correct on the 3 sections if I have more time, and hopefully guessing on the last section can still get me 1 or 2 correct if I guess all 1 letter.

Any thoughts?

Hi guys,

A small question about a translation.

Sentence: Human are always equally content with two things of equal usefulness.

We know from rule 1, what follows always is a NC.

So doesn't it supposedly translate to: Equally Content-->Equal usefulness

This is actually from: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/five-fingers-six-phalanges-strengthen-question/

But I got it the opposite way.

Care to shine some lights?

Thanks,

I posted this on another forum a few minutes ago, so I apologize if some people see this again:

I've been scoring 167-169 lately on tests in the 50s, with a few in the 40s, and one in the 60s (65). I just did PT 70 and got a 165, though, but I've been struggling to balance work and LSAT prep so that is probably a factor. However, I have heard anecdotally that the newer tests are/seem harder. I guess my question is: should I be concerned? I know I've only taken one in the 70s, so I'm definitely going to take more really soon. Does anyone have tips for adjusting to newer tests and for getting over hurdles?

I'm aiming for 170+ (no specific score in mind but I simply want to maximize my scoring) and will be writing in September. Is this realistic? Even more, if I want to get a low to mid-170 by the September exam, is this achievable?

I'll be done work mid-August so I'll be able to study full-time after. I want to know if I'm on the right track for where I want to be.

Edited: For some context, my BR is 175 or 176 most of the time.

Hi team,

I check up on method. brain messed up by the logical diagrams in answer choices. Question is here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-36-section-3-question-12/

So I have a problem with this question between answer choice A & B.

Answer A gives the contrapostive of the missing link. But B is the "exact" phrasing, with this "might" phrase attach in it.

So can I make this general rule that: When question of such where logic diagram is heavily involved, when confused, go for the strong wording and avoid the tempting answer choice "some, might, may..." although the phrasing is exactly the same.

Thanks,

Panda

The Full Schedule

And if you’d like to see the full schedule for upcoming reviews, here it is:

Note:

What is everyone doing to conquer NA? I have a really difficult time on these questions...I'm thinking maybe I need to go back to the curriculum, but even then I'm not sure where to start. Review Assumptions? SA? BOTH? maybe weaken?

Or if not the curriculum, what else is there to do to help me improve?

HELP!

Just curious because the LGB and LRB have both served as my personal Savior. My only reservation about ordering the RCB is that I feel like the skill needed to improve on RC questions can be gained by doing Main Point questions

So I'm working through the problem sets on the harder weakening questions. Through BR I can get 80-100% correct, while doing timed I am only able to get maybe 40-60%. Should this be a concern at this point in time? I have also been doing prep for about eight hours today, so that is one thing I can attribute to the scores. There was a point earlier today I was 25/25 on timed.

Note: My test date is December 3rd, 2016

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.

*clears throat*

Since I love y'all, I'm going to start offering tutoring services. As some of you know, I scored a 169 on the June 2016 LSAT, and I'm gearing up to retake in September.

My "specialty" is working with accommodated test takers and/or test takers who aren't traditional learners. I, myself, have learning disabilities and physical disabilities for which I have been granted accommodations by LSAC for my administration. I have a good bit of insight for accommodated test takers as far as the process before and on test day and what to/not to expect.

I have studied for the LSAT for almost 2 years, and I really believe in the 7Sage curriculum, but some things just don't click or work for some of us in the ways they do for others. I understand that, and I will work with you to accommodate your learning style and share with you some things that worked for me on my administration.

I have over 5 years of tutoring experience in other areas of study including working in my university's writing center and teaching English as a second/foreign language.

If you would like to schedule a consultation, pm me here, and we can work something out. I am based in Boston, and I'm available to meet in person, over the phone, or via Skype/Facetime.

Pricing $20/hour; free 30 minute consultation.

<3 you & I believe in you <3

Hey guys, I found this watch on Amazon, and just wanted to see if anyone has used it before, or have opinions or suggestions on what kind of watch would be best for the LSAT! Thanks in advance!

can anybody help me find prep tests 36 to 44.

So far I've been working on LG and LR. I started with Logic Games as I figured this would allow me to develop formal logic skills necessary for LR and RC. I intend to begin RC as the final part of my studying.

One thing I have been finding is that LR/LG/RC all test cognitive skills that need to be maintained through regular practice. Although I supposed "regular" varies from person to person, I personally find a noticeable drop in performance even if I only take a daylong break from a section. In other words, if I want to maintain my skills level in each section I HAVE to practice that section each day.

I'm finding this makes spending any large amount of time on any one section difficult.

Thoughts?

For the brs i understand im suppost to go back circle the ones im not sure about and re do them, is it completely wrong to first write down the ones i got wrong and re do thoses ? And if i get them wrong twice then i know i need to fully focus on that one, i dont read the answers i just write the number down and re do them, mainly due to lack of them i figured this way im not trusting on just my understanding of what i know and dont know but focusing on all that i dont know. Can anyone advocate why this is less affective?

Hey, I am sorry if this seems super obvious. But I was trying to access some games that I had marked by clicking the "star". I was hoping that later on I would be able to see a list of them, and watch the videos for them again. They are not part of a lesson but particular PT's. I can see how under "syllabus" you can see if you have starred a particular lesson or PT. I was wondering if there is a way to just access games or questions that you mark with a "star" that are part of Practice Test.

-Thank you :)

Im confused about these webinars. First off, what are they? Are they live? I know theres one coming up this wed at 9, how do I access it? How do I access past ones?

Hi guys, I need some advice for how to go about my third LSAT

I took the LSAT for the first time in Dec of 2015 and cancelled my score (that LG petrified me). I retook June of 2016 and got a 160. I was a bit disappointed because I had scored a 166 a couple of times, but to be perfectly honest a 160 was a pretty accurate score given my last few PTs. I am applying to law schools in the fall (aiming for T20s only) and I really need scholarships so I have decided to take the LSAT one last time in September.

I haven't looked at anything since the June LSAT and I am wondering if anyone can give me some direction for how I should start studying. To give a basic overview, I did blue print the summer of 2015 leading up to the Dec LSAT, took a couple of months off and did the 7sage cirriculum in March of 2016 and used it leading up to the June LSAT. My paid 7sage membership has since expired and I am wondering if I should get a new membership, get the LSAT trainer that I keep hearing more about, or if I should just take a lot of PTs and isolated sections since I have already gone through the basics so many times.

Without a doubt, my biggest weakness is RC. While I was averaging -2 on LG and -4 on LR, I am lucky to get less than -10 on RC. For example, one of the times i scored a 166, I got -13 on RC but did really well on the other sections. If anyone has any advice on where to go from here I would appreciate it. I have actually gotten to a point where I am thinking about giving up on RC because I feel like I have tried everything (including the RC bible) and I still suck at it but I am also still able to pull of a decent score by doing well on the other sections.

Thanks in advance!

Hi 7Sagers,

On Wednesday, July 20, at 9 p.m. EST, I’ll give you a bird’s-eye view of the admissions process. We’ll touch on almost every component of your application:

• Personal statementsDiversity statementsCharacter and fitness addendaExtenuating circumstances addenda“Why school X?” essaysRésumésLetters of recommendation

I’ll will take questions at the end.

To join, just follow this link: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/501860757

Use your microphone and speakers (VoIP). A headset is recommended. You can also call in using your telephone:

We’ll use Citrix GoToMeeting. The meeting ID is 501-860-757.

I have noticed a dip and performance when I am tired. I'll misread a weaken question, have trouble with conditional reasoning, amongst other things, when I am tired. As I mentioned the other day, my last practice test was a 158 and I know that isn't great but I shouldn't have struggled with simple weaken questions. In most subjects, one can push through being tired and I don't want to go to bed. Any advice on preventing a dip in performance?

Hello 7sagers and future sages,

Is anyone in the Boston Area interested in meeting to study, particularly about high difficultly questions and advanced techniques? I've heard that getting a real time perspective into your thought process can be eye opening and helping explain something forces you to get to that next level closer to mastery. If nothing else it would be fun to meet up and see how other people approach this beast with which we all must tango. Send me a message if you're in the area or want to Skype, and I look forward to conquering this mountain together!

Best Regards,

Peter Jones

- I have noticed, at least on my last two test, that I just have difficulty doing the first couple of questions on my first LR section, between the question # 2-9. This is especially true if that happens to be the first section on the test! I'll end up skipping like 3-4 questions within the first set of questions. And I am too nervous at the end anyways when I have less than 5 minutes to complete those question to do them calmly.

But on my second LR section I usually fly. Finish on time, my skipped questions are not mostly congregated in the first couple of questions, and even though I am still nervous at the end when little time is left, I am a bit more relaxed because I know they are harder and I have got all the easy ones right (at least hopefully). Whereas on the other one, I know those are easy and I just have a block against them. Which probably makes me more nervous!

Or at least I think that is the issue that's going on.

1) What can I do to not have this block?

2) I have noticed this pattern before on the last two test and have thought about a warmup. What length of warmup is appropriate before a test? And how long before a test should I do that warmup?

3) Also, I have only recently started using the skipping strategy. So could it just be nervousness?

What do you guys think? And what do you all do to before a test to help get your brain going :D

hey does anyone know where I can purchase prep test c2? I jumped the gun and bought the video explanation without finding the actual test, what can I say it was 7$ lol
