Q: If I need more content, can I upgrade at any time?

A: Yes, at any time you feel that you need more content, you can upgrade and only pay the difference by going here while logged in:

http://classic.7sage.com/enroll/

Please note that while purchasing higher packages outright will give you more time (Premium comes with 6 months and Ultimate comes with 9), upgrading from a lower package will only give you an additional one (1) month to your account. You can always add on additional months from the addons section.

https://classic.7sage.com/addons/

Q: How much time do I have left on my account?

A: You can see your time remaining here:

http://classic.7sage.com/account/

If you need more time, you can purchase an extension here:

http://classic.7sage.com/addons/

All of our bundles also come with a +1 month extension.

Q: I accidentally put my full name -or- I want to change my display name! How do I do that?

A: You can change your display name here:

http://classic.7sage.com/account/

Please note that you will still have to login with your email!

Q: What's this "BR" everyone keeps talking about?

A: J.Y. created a whole section about BR (or "Blind Review") you can check out here:

http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/the-blind-review-is-a-habit/

This is available to both free and paid users.

Q: I want to join a BR group!

A: Check the "Study Groups" thread here:

http://classic.7sage.com/forums/categories/study-groups

Q: I heard you guys do live classes / tutor. Where can I sign up for this?

A: Sorry, we no longer offer live classes or tutor. If you need a tutor, visit this page: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/4760/7sages-approved-tutors/p1

Q: Do you have video explanations for PTs 1-35?

A: Yep! We're missing LR from PTs 1-16, but have everything else. You can get access to these videos through the Ultimate+ course:

https://classic.7sage.com/enroll/

Q: Can you reduce the price of the course for me / give me a discount? I can't afford Premium/Ultimate/Ultimate+!

A: Sorry, we don't have any discounts. 7Sage is already the most affordable course out there! We do, however, have a very easy payment plan for Premium, Ultimate and Ultimate+ that many of our students take advantage of.

It's basically our upgrades function. Here's how to do it:

First, enroll in LSAT Starter for $179:

http://classic.7sage.com/enroll

When you are ready, upgrade to LSAT Premium for $170 more, then to LSAT Ultimate for $200 more and finally LSAT Ultimate+ for $200 more.

You get the best and most complete course for 4 easy payments.

The only downside to upgrading vs. purchasing outright is the number of months included in each course. Purchasing Starter, Premium, Ultimate and Ultimate+ normally gives you 3 (Starter), 6 (Premium), 9 (Ultimate) and 12 (Ultimate+) months, but upgrading from a lower course will only give you +1 month per upgrade level.

So, for example, if you purchase Starter and later upgrade to Ultimate, you'll only get a +2 month extension as opposed to the full 9 months included with Ultimate. You can always extend your access here:

https://classic.7sage.com/addons/

Q: What currency is 7Sage charged in?

A: All of our prices are in USD, so keep that in mind when going to purchase. You can see the current exchange rate for the day here:

http://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=1&From=USD&To=CAD

Please note that if you use a Canadian credit card to pay for US purchases, your credit card company will typically do the currency conversion USD->CAD at a rate 1-6% worse than the rates you see on xe.com.

Q: Can I download the videos?

A: No, 7Sage is for online viewing only. Downloading the videos is against our TOS, please don't do it.

Overall: I chose this test center blind as I was traveling to Nashville for a wedding. I registered relatively late and it was the only center left in the are, so I was worried about what I was getting into. Turned out it was great, very timely, very well run.

Proctors: The proctors were great. They stayed quiet, were kind and encouraging (inasmuch as you can be within the script), and kept time effectively. They were also relatively kind with regards to the rules while still being fair - they had bags people could place hats in and leave outside the room; they called someone (LSAC?) to discuss a photo issue while still being reassuring to the student whose ticket was in question; they let someone who brought their things in a clear non-ziplock bag switch to an extra ziplock they had. They had extra pencils and erasers which was nice of them. Very fair, but humane. They were silent during the exam as far as I could tell and definitely had an air of certainty and experience about them. They had an analog clock up in front, a projector projecting the digital time, and an electronic timer running that was the official timer.

Facilities: A standard college building. It was a little hard to find the hall on campus and I ended up taking ~10 minutes driving around but once I was there parking was easy and right next to the hall. There was a soda machine, and the bathrooms were close, although there weren't that many available and the line for the women's room was a real problem.

What kind of room: Standard college lecture hall. Big tables with seats on swing-arms that you could slide in and out of so everyone had a lot of room to work. I was worried about feeling crowded with my things and absolutely didn't. I assume this also made it easy for lefties and as a fat person, I was still very comfortable (I was worrying about fitting into one of those tiny desks.)

How many in the room: 25-30. We were well-spaced and had a ton of room. I had a special pencil station area I had so much room. There was another room running a little bit off from our schedule (maybe accommodated testing?) and that seemed even smaller.

Noise levels: You could hear a pin drop, only no one would have dropped a pin, because it would be inappropriate to make noise, and this place was very appropriate.

Parking: Easy, free, right next to the building. It took a minute to find it, though.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Arrival time was 8:30, we got going by 9am and finished around 1pm. I was shocked at how efficient it was.

Other comments: I was really worried about what it meant that I was getting the last available center in Nashville. The only thing I could find about TSU was a horror story about a location mixup; I was worried but it was what I had. This could not have been further from my experience. They were professional, fast, kind, and the center was very comfortable. The only downside was that the vending machine only had soda, ergo I could not forgo my healthy snack in favor of some carby stress-eating (although this is probably not a real downside as I had no sugar crash to contend with.)

Would you take the test here again? Definitely yes.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: 9/24/16

I just received an email from lsac saying the answer sheets from my test center (sep 2016) were stolen so I will have to either take a makeup test on the 8th of october or wait until december!

I'm wondering if this happened to anyone else and if there is any specificity to makeup LSATs that I should be wary of??

Hello,

Just wondering how other students do...

If you have free time all the day, (weekends, summer vacation etc)

How do you study? How many questions or sections do you do&review?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have a question about the blind review method. If I'm taking a practice test, should I BR each section right after i finish them, or is it better to take an entire timed test, then BR all of it? Apologies if this is answered elsewhere. Thanks in advance!

I have been studying for the LSAT for close to 5 months now. I don't know what my diagnostic score would be as I never took one. The first practice test I took, I scored around a 165, and I am now scoring in the 171-173 range. I took the LSAT in September 2016 and I am not confident I hit my target score of 173. I want to retake in December, but the question is - Should I aim higher? Is there a point in postponing until February? It's such a small score improvement that I think I am capable of scoring higher, but I do not want to waste another 3-4 months working at something where I really don't have a chance of improving much.

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of ordering an LSAT watch, any recommendations?

Hello,

I'm not sure whether anyone knows an answer to this question, but could anyone give me advice? :(

So my accommodations are granted, but I found that I may need to ask one more accommodation.

I thought I do not need it, so I did not ask before, but after a long period of studying I found that I actually need it.

Can I email them and ask about this?

Or if I do so would it cause any troubles?

Thanks

Gearing up for the September exam, I consistently made sure to go to bed at 10 pm to wake up at 6 am, but on the night before the exam, my brain was too alert and I simply couldnt fall sleep. I basically went in the September exam after spending all night awake tossing and turning in the bed. This happened to me on a previous take and it had a negative impact on my performance.

Do you guys have any advice on what I can do so that I can calm the brain down and gdtsome deep rest the night before test day? I tried working out consistently, meditation and I had mixed results with melatonin.

I was wondering how is recommended in terms of time to take on Parallel Method of ?s

For those of you who record sections or PTs, where do you upload them? I got tired of trying to find space on my measly 11GB phone and upgraded to the GoPro. However, it takes my computer nearly 5 hours to upload just one logic game recording on any cloud service.

Maybe it's my wifi? Do y'all just go to Starbucks or a place with fast wifi to upload? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Do you guys check the law school ranking by law field? For example, if you want to practice health law, U of Wash in St.Louis is the first school, comparably Berkley is the first in intellectual law. Is general ranking of law schools more important for you (considering you know which law you want to practice)?

For all of you taking the December LSAT, what are you currently scoring and what are you aiming for? Just trying to understand if my goals are realistic. Thanks :)

Just finished the ultimate course, completing all the questions included in the syllabus. Looking at the study schedule, it says that I should start my timed practices post PT36, but should I be finishing ALL the questions I didn't solve in the pre-36 tests?

I will be taking the December test (first time!) and am worried that if I don't dive into the timed practices now, I won't have enough time to train. What do you guys recommend I do?

Thank you!

Did he choose them based on frequencies?

Such as...topics appear a lot in LSAT or if it is RC, structure (how arguments go on) appears a lot, if it is LR, frequently used flaw etc...??

Or did he just choose them randomly?

Just wondering!

Thanks,

Hi guys,

So I've been studying on an off since last summer. I took the exam in February but deep down inside I knew that I was unprepared. This time around I've been studying a lot more. Bought books, took a prep course, and took a ton of PT's but for some reason I still cant raise my score. I know how to approach every type of problem when attack the questions one by one but for some reason I have trouble doing that when I am taking a full PT. Every PT I take i plateau at 148. When I BR'd or took a timed section Individually I went up as high as 164. Any tips on how to break through the plateau? Im taking my exam in December! thanks!

Hey guys,

I was talking to my friends about some comments I saw on the LSAT Reddit that, out of context, sounded really silly. Thought I'd share them all with you, too. ;) (Also quit stressing! I'm sure you did fine and if not, it's not the end of the world. There's always next time.)

Those of you who took the September LSAT will be very familiar with these quotes. Enjoy!

Warning: Some posts may have foul language. Expect it.

And, finally:

Hi, i'm hoping to get some advice from 7sagers who may have once been in my shoes.

Some brief background: My diagnostic was a 164. The 7sage curriculum has made me much more confident in my answer choices. Before doing the core curriculum I just kind of had a feeling an answer was correct without being able to articulate why and confidently move forward. This vague understanding often led me to miss the more difficult questions because I was spending too much time on the simple ones. However, since I have started taking regular PTs (2 per week on average), I have been hovering around the 165-170 range. I am not struggling with a particular section more than any other at this point, I feel like I have found every possible combination of section scores to get to a168. I am generally not missing lower difficulty questions and I am BRing at 174+ so i'm not sure what this prolonged plateau is all about :( I would like to be scoring in the mid-170s consistently before I take this test.

Can anyone share their experiences with breaking into consistent 170 PTs? Any "ah ha" moments or things you wish you would have realized sooner?

Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

I'm trying to decide if I want to cancel my score from this last September test. I really don't know how well I did, because LR/RC aside, I really messed up on LG....I ran out of time to bubble in my answers for like 8 frkn questions. I'm predicting a score in the low 160s.

How bad will it look to the committee if I have - Cancel - 173 - Cancel? I'm also on the fence about retaking the test if I don't cancel.. just to make prove to admissions that 173 wasn't an outlier...

Help.... :( and thank you!

^Posting for a friend.

I took the LSAT on Saturday. I surprisingly did not freak out at the last game, I was calm, and just kind of went for it. But after they called time, I looked down, and realized I had only bubbled 22 questions and not 23. I have never ever made a bubbling error in the past, but I remember skipping one question early on. I will add this is my second take and I have been studying for about a year and a half.

I either just forgot to bubble question 23 or I messed up when bubbling. I have been debating canceling. Should I? I

Hi,

After you do PTs, how do you review RC sections?

Do you re-do RC sections like you do for LG sections?

What is the best way to review it to increase scores...??

Thanks!

Can anyone tell me exactly how to access the problem sets??? Sorry guys I know it's a dumb question

Hi there!

This was my first time taking the LSAT. When we receive the scores in a couple weeks, will we also be able to see the questions/passages/games and such, or will we only see the score?

Thank you!

Proctors: Exemplary, except they started checking in all 205 people at 12:25, resulting in some serious delays. I was in a room with about 60 people and maybe 6 proctors. One proctor was running his hand down a railing next to me, but other than that things went well. Time was kept precisely, etc.

Facilities: Nice, modern lecture hall. Good bathrooms. Nice building.

What type of room: Toered lecture hall. Important note: Each row of seats has one continuous desk, and people were spaced out every other seat. There is a small, raised microphone implanted in the desk that was in my way and forced me to change my usual placement of my booklet and answer sheet. Just being aware of this beforehand is preparation enough.

Lefties: No idea.

Noise: pin-drop quiet except for occasional faint sounds. I think the room has sound-absorbing walls, and there's a buffer area between the room itself and the hallway outside that probably reduces outside noise.

Parking: there's parking and they said there were discounts for LSAT takers, but I just had my momz drive me so can't comment on parking location.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: got there at 11:30, we probably didn't start till 1:15.

Irregularities or mishaps: none, thank god, except for the brief railing incident mentioned above and the delay checking in. Lots of people brought cell phones for some reason.

Other comments: you're going to have to move your answer sheet further away from your test booklet than usual because of the desktop mics. This wasn't as big a deal as I thought it would be, just be prepared.

Anyone excited? I kind of regret pushing it back because I haven't been able to study much, with my 21 credit load but there is plenty of time from now until December.
