Hi friends! I've been studying for the LSAT while working a full time job, which means I wake up three hours early every morning to do my lessons and then do a few hours of studying each day of the weekend. I'm approaching the part of my course where I'm just supposed to be doing practice tests, and I was wondering how other 7Sagers in similar situations spaced these out.

I obviously can't complete the whole practice test before work during the week, but I also don't think I can do two practice tests and blind review them on the weekends in between. I was wondering if for the weeks with two PTs, I could do one Saturday and one Sunday, and then spend the rest of the week BRing both of them?

Let me know your thoughts!

Here we are June LSATers..time to wait for scores.

What are some strategies for dealing with this horrible waiting game? Does anyone have cool plans now that the LSAT is over (for now at least)?

How do you all feel generally? Maybe it's psychological, but I feel like I under performed..I'm trying to estimate in my head what I went per section but I feel like I'm assuming anything I was unsure about was wrong. Is this normal? Basically looking to commiserate

I was wondering whether LSAC will be cruel enough to give 3 LR sections in a row ( 2 + experimental). I really hope that is NOT the case!

I asked my university professor if he could give me a recommendation letter for law school and he told me to prepare a draft and send it to him and he will sign it. I do not know what to put in, is there any guidelines or sample that I can use? It would be great if you could give me some tips and ideas about what to put in since he gave me a blank check.

Come hang out and bring your own questions for another rousing edition of office hours! As always, anything goes--we're here to help you however we can, so join us!

See everyone tonight!

Yesterday I finallyyy got my Preptests 52-77 in the mail. I put them away and told myself I wouldn't take one until next week because that's what the study schedule I'm on says to do but I've been studying for almost 2 months and haven't taken another PT since my diagnostic and I'm really itching to take one just to see if there's been any signicificant improvement.... Would this be a waste of a perfectly good PT?

Hello, I've been studying rather ineffectively on my own since January until May, which was when I got 7Sage. Although I must say my understanding and ability to answer questions correctly greatly increased many fold, I am struggling with the level 5 hardest questions, such as RC and LR (THIS one especially). Like many people, I would want to get a 170+ (And I truly believe 7Sage is able to help many people including myself in doing this), I do know that it is best to be able to tackle every question possible to maximize those chances. Is there a specific strategy in tackling these? Or is it the same standard core curriculum strategies, but to a mastery level form? (And extremely careful reading...) I'm doing pretty well on everything else, but once I go up against these level 5 questions, I get destroyed, with the occasional correct one or two.

On another note, I intend on taking the September LSAT. I'm just wondering if 40 hour week study sessions throughout the summer will help me get to the 170+ area.

You spent months not only putting in all the work, but also sharing your experience and wisdom and touching so many of us on 7Sage. And you spent this past week watching us go through relief and anxiety and hope and freakouts, while you had to still stand quietly on your start line and wait for your own GO! whistle to blow.

You got through that and you're still kind and funny. You felt the pressure and didn't crack - as much as it tried, the LSAT's got nothing on you!

There's a reason the Elite athletes run on their own and not with the recreational masses - so all the spectators can concentrate fully on cheering them on. Brittany, you're our Elite athlete, and we're all here, ready to cheer you on tomorrow!

Howdy Folks,

I'm thankfully coming to the end of this course after a long fought struggle with LG. I wanted to ask some of you veterans our there: I've been covering the LG portion of this course with a lot of patience and I haven't touched a lot on my other skills. I wanted to ask what were some of the ways many of you put the course all together for yourselves. Did you begin prep tests and pick a few days a week to go back through the old material? Did you dive right into the prep tests and only review the old material as you needed to while doing your BR? Did you take a few weeks to review old material before diving in? Thanks for any feedback folks, I appreciate it.

Office Hours are live! Come join us!

Hi guys. So over the years, starting from first year I looked at questions from the 2007 preptest just because it was free. Now it is spoiled as my diagnostic...so do I need to take it? I also studied for 3 weeks before taking this course so I have an understanding of what each section entails.

I make a bubbling error nearly every practice test. In fact, I can't recall, the last time I have not made a bubbling error. I record my answers on the Analytics page as they are on the Scantron because I will likely perform on the real test as I do on practice tests (as I have already learned from taking a real test and making a Scantron error). This way, my score reflects not which answers I circle in the booklet, but which answers I successfully record on the Scantron and are ultimately used in my real score.

How do you score PT bubbling errors (if you make any at all... if that's the case, please share your bubble mojo)?

A note, I bubble and double-check after every game, after every RC section, and once before turning the page in an LR section. I'm thinking of changing my strategy, as it's clearly not working for me.

What size does the photo that we upload have to be? Is it 2 x 2 inches (5 x 5 cm)?

Thanks!

How can I do this?

How do I get the name that is displayed with my discussions to be my newly edited nickname?

So, I have been reading a lot of posts on here and it seems like those who score in the 170s (my dream score), studied for about a year to a year and a half.

What I want to know is that is this time spent from start to finish, non-stop? Or on and off?

I've been at it for about 11 months on and off, and approximately 3 months consistently (at least an hour everyday with days of break every now and then).

Any help and/or info is much appreciated. Thanks all!

I am currently working through the course and I am wondering do you typically complete the entire course lessons before taking another test? My diagnostic was test 56, so I still have the 2007 I can take. Should I take it now, that I have a more basic understanding... or take it once I am completely through the starter package course??? I guess I am semi desperate to see some improvement :)

Thx guys

Hey guys,

I am taking the September LSAT and after reading a good number of people saying how the June LSAT was easy to moderate I am getting nervous. While my "theory" has not evidence to back it up whatsoever I am afraid the September LSAT will be much harder. Could there be any truth to it?

Hey team,

Wanted some input on the optimum time to conduct a BR session. Do you find it more beneficial to BR an hour or two after you PT, or is it more effective if you wait to BR the following day? Since I'm a re-taker I'm cutting ZERO corners this time around, at the same time, I know for BR to work you need to be very meticulous and disciplined during review. I know this process, however rewarding it may be, is still taxing. What approaches did you take to properly PT/BR in conjunction with drilling your weaknesses whilst avoiding burn out?

Thanks

Happy Saturday!

I finally decided to take another yet hopefully last LSAT next year. Would you please introduce anyone who achieved the significant jump? I really need to learn from those and it will put me on the right track later.

Disclosed Administrations

If you take a disclosed test, you will have online access to the following information:

your LSAT score

score band

percentile rank

writing sample

a copy of your answer sheet

a score conversion table

a copy of the scored sections that contributed to your score (available online for six months following the test date)

If it is true that most schools other than Yale do not penalize for multiple takes...

Unless something happened during the test that was extremely detrimental to your scoring potential, I would not cancel...

Post-test anxiety is a given but you never want to waste a take.

7Sage and the BR process has given us pre-testers a way to try to evaluate our decision choices under "optimum" test conditions. If you sat for the test and cancel your score, you have nothing to gain from the experience other than sitting for 5+ hours in a testing room and have to trust your memory on AC's once the test is released to everyone.

Why would you want to give up the chance to have your answer sheet and the scored test for you to evaluate your decisions and choices during "real" conditions? The opportunity to be able to seriously BR the heck out of the test could mean serious gains on the next take if needed.

Always a personal decision, but I hope this helps:)

Hey Guys,

I know it's not a fun topic, but I am really struggling with the question of whether to cancel my score and would appreciate some advice. My situation is a bit unusual so I've found most of the advice out there to be not that helpful. (tl;dr - too busy at work, wasn't ready for June but took it anyway, will do better in sept., should I cancel?)

In January, I registered for the June exam. I am a legal assistant at a v5 firm and shortly after registering was assigned to a new case that was going to trial. I worked 85+ hour weeks from mid-March thru 2.5 weeks before the June exam, and thus did no prep at all during that time.

The biggest problem at this point was that I hadn't yet "learned" logic games. I knew I couldn't do that in two weeks, but continued to work as hard as I could, prepping 7 hours per weekday and 10 on weekends, plus 6 hours of tutoring. The tutoring was great, and gave me the tools I need to work most effectively over this summer for September. I went into the exam knowing well that I was not ready and would not perform to my highest potential. I took the test because I paid for it and felt the test day experience could only be beneficial. I was PTing around 160 and getting at least half wrong on LG. The test went fine, but I think I scored somewhere in 159-161. I am going to take September and am planning to work extremely hard until then, and I won't have the same issue with work hours. I am certain that I will do much better in September. I am aiming for at least a 165.

The question, then, is whether it is worth having a lower score on my record if I know for a fact that I will do better in September. It seems to me that the best choice is to cancel, and that all I would get out of not canceling would be having the ability to see my score - nice, but worth it if I can avoid having a 159 on my record? If I don't cancel, I would write an addendum explaining the circumstances leading up to the exam. What do you guys think?

Thanks so much!

Hello I am just curious to see how 7sagers felt about the 7sage course and their june LSAT. is there anything you would have done differently? how did you find that the course prepared you?

I know I'm not the only one.
