has anyone replaced the battery of their 180watch?

the one I have that was unused for a lontime stopped working probable due to dead battery, and I can't see how to open the back cover for battery replacement.

I love the feature of the discussion boards which highlight the threads I haven't read yet and turn grey the ones I have. Some how my "Mark all read" feature is stuck and they are all grey. I keep clicking on it but nothing changes. How can I fix this??

Thanks!

So I've taken blueprint and testmasters courses and I've increased from 144 to a low 160. Went to testmasters first and I was testing at around 158 by then end. Started studying on my own and then my first diagnostic with blueprint was a 162. Since then, throughout the entire course, I have barely increased at all. I test anywhere from 159-163 and only hit a 166 once. I don't know what I should do. I've taken over ten practice tests and its all within that range. I usually get 18-20 right in Logic games. 20-22 right in reading comp and get around 6 to 7 wrong in each section. Is there any tightening up I can do to increase my score within the next couple weeks?

Anyone else feel like when it clicks, it keeps clicking? I always told myself how randomly I would score on sections, but I am realizing it was because I didn't really have a deep, clear knowledge of the games + LR sets...

Then I went from maybe -7 on LR... to -2/-3.. thought it was a fluke.. then have consistently scored -2/-3 for the last 5 LR sections I have taken... and the same for LG... -1/-2 total out of a whole section... 10 months ago, I used to get 2 games out of 4, and hover around -10 on LR sections...

I am interested to know have people experienced like a point in time where one PT they are all of a sudden scoring at a way higher range, and consistently after? How do you know it's not a fluke! How do I sustain it, keep improving till October LSAT?

pt 61 s2 q17

I am having a little difficulty eliminating answer choice C here. I understand that the single guest is analogous to the standard antibiotic, which leaves me with a and c. I don't understand why it is not the pleasure part though? Ie. the stimulus says one meal that will please a single guest. So to me C looked "righter" because it matches the pleasure concept as well.

I know there's a huge variety of opinions on how much to really study these last few weeks... But how about it? I just took PT 75 today and have BRd half of it and will finish mañana with some additional studying. But how much do you really wanna push it these last few weeks? A few more tests? Just some timed sections and reviewing difficult questions?

I work full time 9-5 and have basically been coming home and studying until I go to bed. I'm feeling pretty worn out as I have been at this for some time. What do you guys think of studying going forward and when to shut it down?

Hi all,

I've been taking a mixture of recent tests (60s-70s) and with some exceptions of outliers on lower 60s tests (165~167), I've been consistently getting the same scores 162 or 163 for almost a month now. I don't know how I'm not improving much nowadays but I find that the LG sections on the most recent ones are way harder than on the old ones. I used to get 0~3 wrong but now I get 4~6 wrong. Also, it seems like when I do well on LRs, I bomb RC and vice versa. I heard that people tend to drop few scores on the real one, and I'm afraid I'll follow that path. I took #71 today at my test centre with a friend who will also be taking the Oct exam and I scored 163 again. Now that there's only a few weeks left until the exam day, I'm feeling some pressure and burnout. My goal used to be 165 but I feel like I might not be able to reach that goal.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Up until very recently I was able to use my old university account to do all my PT printing on campus. I think they caught on and finally disabled it. :1

I'd like to hear from you guys about any other possible (cheap) alternatives for printing PTs . Thanks! :)

hi everyone,

practicing the older games sections now, and i was just wondering if you guys thought it was worth the time to continue practicing and perfecting the games that seem a little strange, like this one: http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-11-section-1-game-4/

one person mentioned on that one that's it's good for flexible thinking and I was wondering if you guys agreed. I don't mind giving it a shot and watching the videos for them but not sure if i should repeat, do the next day and the next week, etc..

thanks for all the advice folks! happy studying.

Background: Ok so prior to 7sage I self-studied. I made my own schedule using the PowerScore books and the LSAT Trainer. After completing my own "core curriculum" I started PT'ing using the Cambridge bundle (1-40 split by type, and 41-70 in four-section PTs). After taking 5 PTs (41-45), I realized that I needed to sign up for a course because I was getting answers wrong and had no clue why they were wrong. Ultimately, I signed up for a 7sage course. I completed 7sage's core curriculum and started taking PT's a couple weeks ago (starting with PT 36). I took PTs 36-40 by viewing the LR questions on 7sage's website (where JY reviews answers of that respective PT), and did RC and LG using the Cambridge "split by type" books... Although my scores for PT 36-40 were not much higher (went from avg of 150 before 7sage to 154 after using 7sage), I am seeing improvement....

Now, here's where I need you to help me out: I just completed BR for PT 41. My real score was a 168 and my BR score was 171 (previously my score for this PT was 150).... Yes, I have completed this PT before....BUT...I legitimately did not recall ANY games/answers for the LG section (went -0), nor any passages/answers for the RC section (went -4... completed 3 passages thoroughly and only got 1 wrong then guessed all "D" for the last passage which got me 3 wrong on that passage). However, I did recall only about 3 or 4 questions in total from both LR sections combined.

What do I make of this huge jump?? Do you think I subconsiously recalled questions/answers??

Sorry for such a wordy post, but I'm cautiously ecstatic and I would really appreciate any input !

Hey people with test day experience,

Are experimental sections typically LR, LG, RC or random? Also, can you usually tell which one it is based on it being too easy or extremely difficult.

I want to be mentally prepared for the possible intense difficulty of an experimental section and not let it disrupt my flow too much

Is it possible to obtain a complete list of PrepTests needed for the Problem Sets that are used for the 7Sage Ultimate Course? It would save me some time because when I get to a Problem Set, I spend time checking to see if I've purchased the PT already, only to find out that I haven't. I've been using the silent videos but I would prefer to have a hard copy and I'm just realizing that the Problem Sets appear to be from PT's earlier than 36. So rather than me jumping ahead to the lessons to accumulate the PT's needed, I figured I would ask if a list is available. If not, then I would like to suggest that perhaps 7Sage consider making a list.

Endurance!!

Hey all. I need some endurance tips or something. I'm writing 4 section PTs and after the second section my numbers fall off a table. Today's test: Section 1. LR: 74% S2 RC: 75% S3 LR: 48% 15 minute break and then S4 LG: 65%.

As for my two LR scores, according to the data on 7sage, the first LR (74%) was in fact harder than the second (48%). I'm still working away but I feel like confidence and practice don't matter as much as mental endurance.... I dunno. Test is 14 days away.... How do you prep for marathon?

thanks,

DE

Hi all,

I can't resist reaching out to you all for some advice, as it's been so quality in the past!

I've finished both the course and LSAT trainer and I'm now two PTs in (not much, I know), and wondering if I should suspend PTs and do some drilling. Or just keep doing PTs with quality BR?

I really memorized as much as I could during the core course, and took my time to internalize the concepts before moving on.

I will take the Dec test.

First PT: RC 19/26, LG 19/23, 1st LR 21/26, 2nd LR 24/26

Second PT: RC 25/26, LG 14/24,1st LR 19/26, 2nd LR 23/25

On the second PT I messed up some rules on LGs and knew I was doing terribly, ended up panicking a bit and I only got to 3 of the 4 games. But my main concern is the variety of problem sections here... after my first test I thought RC was my worst section, now it looks like LG. LR looks much more consistent across the two tests. How can I tell what I need to work on the most?

Any advice for how to proceed? I need high 160s and would be thrilled with anything past 170. I'm BRing around 178, so I given enough time I get what is going on in all sections.

I only got through about half the LG bundle before PTs, and I know it is the least intuitive section for me. So I plan to work through the bundle, but not sure if I should suspend PTs in the meantime. I would like to do 20-30 PTs before the Dec test, but obviously only if that is the most beneficial strategy here.

Thanks for any advice! Good luck to everyone.

Today is the day. I am going to sit down and .... start..... my personal statements. I've applied to a program before, but I'm just not sure what to write or if I'm on track.

I know this may be weird, but does anyone have a PS they'd be okay with letting me read? I just want a general sense of one, to make sure I'm even kind of on track. Or... does anyone know of a place I could go for a reference/help?

Thanks a bunch :D
