When people on 7Sage discuss "drilling" I am confused as to what they are referring to.

Is "drilling" doing Blind Reviews and re-writing the same Logic Game over and over?

Please, please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks.

BLAH.

I took prep test #62 today and had to stop when I couldn't complete the Logic Games section. I just couldn't move past it. That has never ever ever happened to me before in the entire time I have been practicing for the LSAT.

I don't know what to do at this point. I've been studying for an entire year. I took the December LSAT and received a 155. I decided to take the October LSAT of this year, so I've been studying consistently since December.

I started PTing at the end of May and I started with 1 a week. Since then, I've taken 10 exams and my average is 165 with a BR average in the 170s.

I took a mini vacation for a week and a half and managed my first 170 at the end of July.

Since then, I've felt.......... burnt out. I tried to take a few breaks last week (after scoring a disappointing 161), but today I had a panic attack and couldn't even finish the exam.

I don't know what to do at this point. I took some advice and stopped drilling LR sections, as that was probably contributing a lot to my burn out, but if my mark keeps plummeting I don't know if it's in my best interest to write in October?

I just feel lost.

Is there printed material that goes along with the course that I can print all at once, or should I just print the pages as I go when I get to them?

After reading quite a few posts on here, it seems to be the consensus that postponing a test, and nailing it the first time, is better than taking it once and then retaking it later. Exactly how bad is it to retake, though? I originally signed up for October, but I just barely finished the Core curriculum yesterday. I don't know that I'll reach my full potential by then, but I wouldn't be surprised if I did, considering how much I study. It just seems a lot riskier to let everything ride on one shot and only take December. Am I wrong to think that? Wouldn't it make sense to take both in case one throws some sort of curveball and falls way below what I would normally score? Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to default to the 7sage video player?

Hey everyone,

My diagnostic was 149 and I recently finished the 7sage core curriculum. I took three prep tests since then, each scoring in the high 150s and Blind Reviewing at the 170s. My goal is to score above 165 for the december test. What should I do differently and how could I improve my actual score to 165+?

I learn best by explaining to others. Is their anyway that a feed can be created that automatically adds the newest comments on videos/the coarse to a list that provides the link to the problem and comment.

Say you are working through the LAWGIC chapter and you comment that you don't understand contrapositive on slide 34/55. Your comment would automatically move to the #1 spot on a list with a link to the slide, that way you could get an answer within minutes instead of 3 months later.

Just thought it could help people like me really concrete the ideas and also get new studiers a quicker response.

Hey Gang,

I know there was some discussion about Answer Explanations. JY and team are working hard on them, but if you need to look at them now, Graeme Blake has just published his explanations.

Okay. I'd like to say that I've been lsat prepping for about a year / year and a half or so, however, during this time I've been working full time hours, (multiple part time jobs) raising my daughter, finishing my bachelors degree and combating never ending family issues and unnecessary stresses. To be perfectly clear, I've been doing all the above (i.e. raising daughter, working fulltime ect.. for at least the past ten years) Yeah, I just turned 30 too....

What I am getting at is this, I feel so burnt out, depressed and stressed that I have little to no time to "properly" study and raise my scores in time for the October Test date. I've already pushed off the June Test to October. I plan on enrolling Fall 2016 and really stress about pushing the test back any further.

Time restraints are only getting worse. My primary work is starting up along with this upcoming fall semester ( I work for a local University ) and as a Liberal Arts major who studied criminology, sociology and psychology, my kids 4th grade algebra is a nightmare for me; go figure.

I want to say all the (lack there of) improvement is due to the stress and time restraints, but I've dealt with this for so long. I manged to graduate with Latin Honors in a difficult curriculum all while doing the same juggling act; however, this TEST is killing me.

As the title suggests, this is likely just a rant. But, are there any others out there who are in this boat?

At this point, I'm not sure how to study anymore. I've completed the Course/ albeit hastily in some areas; and I've been PT'ing as often as physically possible - which in my case turns out to be once a week! Usually a Sunday, then I sporadically BR throughout the week whenever I can.

Understandably, there isn't a real clear cut and dry answer to woes and restraints. However, there has got to be someone out there in the program who understands this and has something valuable to add to this.

Hi all!

I just started taking timed practice tests at the end of July and have noticed that I need to improve my speed in all sections. In logic games, I'm usually able to complete 3 games and then am able to complete 1 or 2 questions on the last game before time runs out. In logical reasoning, I'm usually able to complete 23/25 questions and then have 1 minute or so to split between the last two questions. In reading comp, most of the time I can complete the whole section in time, but sometimes I run out of time at about 25/27 questions.

Any suggestions? I plan on taking 2-3 practice tests per week until the Oct test (I know... it's approaching so quickly, I'm terrified) but does anyone have anything concrete I can do to make sure my pace picks up before the test?

Does it matter if I skip all over the syllabus? Should I be doing the curriculum in order?

I have not taken an official LSAT in a test center yet so I am confused how it works.

When the section you are working on is done then what happens? How quickly do you move on to the net question? Also Do you need to guess during the section you are on or can I fill in all C's before I start the next section? I am also confused do some people look back at previous sections if they finish a section early? What is preventing you from doing this? Last how many people are in each test room?

what question type appears the most frequently on the LR section of the lsat?

Is everyone using the 180 watch? There is also another option? What is best to use?

Hey All,

I was just wondering what the average discrepancy between your actual scores vs. your BR scores are after taking a PT. I know I average about a 10pt difference between actual and BR scores. Is that too high of a discrepancy? What should the difference be between scores by the time Test Day comes around? And for those of you who have closed the gap, how have you lessened the gap?

I'm not sure what to search to find the answer to this, but I was curious how question and passage difficulty were determined by 7Sage? Is it by the percentage of people who answer correctly?

Hi guys, I just finished the core curriculum and decide to take some days off before start taking PT. I will be a senior student this fall semester. I wonder what is the best way to take PT. J.Y. asks us to take stimulated LSAT practice. However, I doubt if I have 4 hours during the morning when the semester begins. Is it ok for me, let's say, to break a PT into 4 different sections and finish them separately? I hope you can give me some advises. My new semester is about to come, although I have the ambition to balance my LSAT and academic goal, I started to feel stressed because I don't know if I can handle it. Please suggest me the most helpful way to take PT. If it is really necessary, I can still make the four-hour morning stimulated practice happen. In addition, do you think 1 PT per week is enough and reasonable for a full-time student? Thank you so much!

Are they? I am only doing 4-Section PTs

Hi guys, did you ever encounter this issue: After you read a RC passage, you think you understand this passage, and you know the support for argument, but when you get to questions, you can't refer some ACs back to passage and you are not confident enough to eliminate wrong ACs? It happens to me sometimes in RC. Thank you all. I am still recovering from burn-out after I found out I was not really recovered on this Thursday, :( :(.

LR sections= BR

Games= Fool-Proof Method

Reading Comp... how do you guys review?

I started 7sage's lessons on RC today and I still feel clueless/helpless. First, I'd like to ask if anyone has seen dramatic improvement using the memory method. I gave it a test run today and I'm a bit skeptical (not counting it out, just my $.02 at the moment!). Fwiw, prior to 7sage I did a lot of practice sections and I would miss over half of the questions... In addition, I'm thinking of incorporating ideas from the trainer into 7sage's ideas, would you recommend this? They're not that drastically different.

Hi! I don't know if an announcement was made or if someone already asked this but does anyone know when PT75 video explanations will be made available? Thanks!

Hey guys,

so i started doing prep tests today and i really need help with RC. I scored a 149 but my LG and LR are doing not bad, still definite room for improvement, but what killed me was my RC i got 7/26 (timed) like WTF!!!!! if i would have gotten 10 more answers correct i could have got a decent score. This is the lowest ive ever scored but i cant have this problem during my October test otherwise its bye bye law school hello becoming a janitor....ok maybe not that drastic but you get the point.

Anyways i really need help with this section obviously and i am looking to you beautiful people to help me out. My biggest issue is definitely timing. I am guessing on average 10 questions each timed section.

Also, i have been hearing about this LSAT trainer. For those who have this, is this better than the method JY teaches? Would anyone recommend this? Do you think i would have enough time to figure out this method before the october LSAT

If you guys have any tips or recommendations for me it would be greatly appreciated

Best Regards

The Chupacabra

So, I am finally finished with the 7sage course, this is when things start to get interesting. I would like to know what you guys recommend I should do. Should I do a PT or two first and drill based on the scores of the PT's? or, should I drill a bit first and then take the PT's? I also want to mention that I have little practice with time. As I was working through the course I just kept track of time on a stopwatch, but essentially gave myself unlimited time to work on accuracy, and understanding.
