So I am ADHD but truthfully I have not been medicated in years, well since college. I am pretty positive I will have to go back on meds for law school... but anyway I digress... I am finding I am getting frustrated and bored during the sections and then I start rushing to finish and we all know how that can turn out. What are tips you have for that??? I am beginning to wonder if I should go back on medication to help study... but like most adhd folks I hate being on the meds because I feel zombified. How do you keep focused? Even if you are not ADHD I am willing to listen, because I am just drilling 35 minute sections right now... When I start taking tests at the first of the year... I really do not want to burn valuable tests... because of this. Anyway thoughts? and don't worry if you think I need to medicate I won't get offended because my mom and dad informed me I needed to get back on medication so I can nail the test anyway lol

PS miss chatting LSAT with you guys...

So i will be getting my preptest 79 november 28 or 29. what should i do with this preptest before the december lsat? it will only be a few days before the real deal. should i just do a blind review and try the Logic games timed? any advice will be appreciated. I'm sure there are others with this predicament.

Hi

So on LG I meet this kind of rule sometimes

A---B→C---D "If A is before B, then C is before D"

Is this actually bi-conditional in sinmple sequence game?

For grouping sequence game, it may not be necessary true, but for simple sequece game there is only either before or after something, so...

By the way we cannot delete our threads right?

I wonder what if we solve the question before get any replies...do not want to bother other ppl in that case :(

Hello,

I am debating buying a 7sage prep course right now; I am currently using the free trial. However, when I look at the video explanations on my phone for LR and RC for the June 2007 exam on the free trial, they do not load on my phone. I have an iPhone 5. Only the LG video explanations work.

Can you only access the LR and RC video explanations from a laptop? Please let me know!

Hey guys, first time poster here. I've been studying on and off for about 8 months. I've delayed taking the LSAT twice (never signed up) because I didn't feel like I was going to be ready. When I first started in February - May, I was only studying about once or twice a week, so not much. Then I was pretty good for 2 weeks and then immediately took 2 months off. I felt that the only way to kick my but into studying was to register. So I'm currently registered for December, but I am NO where close to where I want my score to be, so I am considering delaying it again, but keeping up the same studying intensity. I am not applying this cycle. I guess the only draw backs is the fact that this will have been the 3rd time I've delayed taking it and the Feb test is undisclosed.

opinions? Thanks!

I just wanted to see how you guys view all of the elements of the application. I know the personal statement is the most important, but how do you guys see the other elements we can add to the applications? Are all of you writing those? Will they push students over the top or are they kind of moot points?

Basically, are they necessary, and will schools look down on you if you don't use them?

I just took sec 1 of pt79. Has anyone else? I did awful!! My score was much lower than most of my LR sections. I am worried.

If I took my first LSAT in June 2015 and decided to take it twice after, when is the next test date after the 2-year period that I could take it? Is it June 2017 or October 2017?

Hi everyone:)

I probably wouldn't be comfortable posting this in any other forum but....everyone in here has been so kind to me thus far so, I figure I can be a little annoying haha!! In my previous post I mentioned that i'm not done my UG but I suspect my GPA should be about 3.8-3.85. I'm not exactly a natural at the LSAT however (137 diagnostic lol). I find myself being someone who tends to easily get frustrated with intellectual work sometimes. I always give it my all nonetheless and I like to think I do good work, but because studying for the LSAT will presumably be frustration beyond frustration (at times anyways), does anyone have any advice on how to manage the frustration and discouragement that I assume comes with months of studying for something and only seeing gradual improvement haha?

Thanks everyone!

Hey, I am just curious, cuz someone told me we have to do all the PrepTest at least twice before taking the exam, how many do you usually do?

Dear All,

I need some advice. I currently work in Big Law and I am struggling to find the time to study for this test. I am taking the February LSAT and would still like to go to school for the Fall of 2017. With that being said, I have rescheduled my exam twice due to my workload. Any advice on how one manages their time efficiently would be greatly appreciated. I really would like to go to Georgetown Law and know that I have a long shot for this admission cycle since most, if not all of the spots, will be already offered. Also, I am struggling with time when taking practice tests. I tend to freeze when I go and do timed sections. Any thoughts on how to handle time for studying and how to practice doing better while timing yourself will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

7Sagers,

On Wednesday, November 16, at 9 pm EST, I’ll do a round of live lightning consultations.

What’s a lightning consultation? Basically, I’ll try to be as helpful as I can in five minutes. We might brainstorm personal statement topics, strategize about addenda, or discuss LORs.

If you want a free five-minute consultation about your law school application, I’ll need you to post a few things in the comments section:

I’ll get through as many people as I can in one hour, working in a mostly random order. Please don’t post to this thread if you can’t show up for the consultation. If you do show up, test your microphone beforehand. Make sure you have a strong connection to the internet, and that you can speak and be heard on GoToMeeting. If your microphone isn’t working, I’ll have to skip you.

Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/175281357

I took a BluePrint course for 3 months and self-studied for the LSAT for a full year back in 2015, but ended up quitting earlier this year after encountering severe burnout and score stagnation. I was lucky enough to find a job at a reputable company in Silicon Valley which was great, but I still have desire to attend law school.

After throughly going over BluePrint, PowerScore, and parts of the LSAT Trainer, I still couldn't get my score over 155. I feel like I tried everything, and in some ways, I'm still hesitant about starting again due to fear of failure. Is there anything in the 7Sage curriculum that distinguishes it from the rest? I'm planning on purchasing the Ultimate bundle, but I don't want to waste money if it won't help me with the problems I faced the first time.

Thanks

Hey guys quick question, is /J (-) L the same thing as J (-) /L?

Could you explain why they are/are not the same please!

Thanks

Hi guys,

I'm about 2 weeks into the 7Sage curriculum and was wondering about time management and efficiency while studying. It's been taking me quite a bit longer to complete each lesson than the time estimated on the schedule, perhaps 1.25X - 1.5X the estimated time. I've been taking notes, taking the practice problems seriously, reviewing concepts that are unfamiliar, etc., which helps with learning, but it also adds to the time to complete each lesson. Is it fairly common in the community for studying to take longer than the estimated time to complete a lesson? Should I focus becoming more efficient and speed up my the studying to move along with the pace of the lessons or should I accept that learning takes time and simply budget more time?

Thanks for the help!

how often do you usually diagram? In which question?

Sometimes I feel not diagraming is easy but other times I found diagraming is better...but not sure when and when not to.

Do you read all answer choices in LR by the way? Especially those early questions...

Hi guys, you have all been so helpful thus far. I am only a senior in college and have realized thanks to these forums and the Thinking LSAT podcast that I should not rush into law school. I am not completely sure that law is for me, and have realized that law school will always be there. I am currently looking for jobs and was wondering how you go about finding a job as a legal assistant/intern? My bachelors degree will be in Finance. I would ideally like to work in Boston. I have heard time and time again that this is a good way to figure out if law is for you. Would you all agree?

Please feel free to be completely honest with me, what advice would you give your 21 year old self?

Is there a reason why there is no set length requirements in applications this year?

Generally speaking, it should be 500 words, correct?

Also, is double space a bad idea?

I assume there are thousands of law school students, and lawyers who have been caught doing some silly stuff in college. I got an underage drinking ticket when I was 20, and that is the only stain on my record. From the best of my recollection, it is not on my record. Should I still admit to this in my application? Will it impact my chances if I do?

Hi all,

I had just finished the first "chapter" or LR, which goes all the way from MP to PSA and now into RC.

In previous posts, I had read that many had recommended to do a mini PT through out the way for LR when you are actually studying for RC.

But before just dive into books of problems, I had read also that I should not waste problems.

So! How do you have mini effective PTs on RC?

@twssmith?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Panda

So i'm taking the December test with a goal of 164-165+ and I really feel as though I'm ready. I sometimes take PT's and make such silly errors though. For example, I usually get the easy questions correct but on my most recent PT, i missed a 1/5 star question for logical reasoning and a 2/5 star question. I know those ratings aren't fully accurate but it's just that i'll sometimes miss that very "easy" question but then get the harder ones correct. Does this happen to anyone? Because upon review, its so obvious what the right answer is but once in a while, ill just get an easy one or two wrong and it bothers me a lot haha because I just feel like I could've gotten a higher score had I not missed those "easy" ones.

I'm preparing to take the test in February, and I have the LSAC book that contains PTs 52-61. I have taken 52, 53, and 54, and I'm scoring very well. Is there a substantial difference between the PTs I've been taking and the most recent PTs? I'm trying to figure out if I should buy more of the recent PTs to take in preparation for the exam.

Where does the definition of pen stop and the definition of a highlighter begin?

Are Pape Mate Flair pens considered pens if they are felt tipped, neon colors? Are Crayola thin markers pens or highlighters?

What's the smallest a highlighter tip can be and still be defined as an LSAT-legal highlighter?

Hey @"Dillon A. Wright" ,

I was wondering if you guys were doing one of those deals where you'd extend access for people who run out a few weeks before an upcoming LSAT administration. Mine runs out with a little bit more than 2 weeks to go until December 3rd's LSAT. Would you guys be able to extend my access until the December LSAT is over, please and thank you? Thanks a bunch, I love this place! I just hope I never have to use it again after December! LOL

I learned of the 7Sage blind review method months before I started using it (from exploring the website). Boy, do I wish I had started using it earlier.

Here's the rundown: Yes, it absolutely *does* take longer to go through. I often take up to 5-8 hours to fully blind review my PTs and then review them with the correct answers. But this process forces you to confront your mistakes and misunderstandings and allows you to get to the root of what you don't understand. It sounds weird and you may not believe it, but I really do feel like I understand the material better thanks to this method, even if my scores aren't always immediately reflecting it. What's more, I finally feel like studying for the LSAT is enjoyable again. The problems and games feel a little less daunting now that the blind review method has taught me to be more patient with myself and to delve deeper.

I hope this helps, for those of you who are new to the process or to 7Sage!
