Does anyone do this or thought of doing this? Could it be potentially helpful since the passages get increasingly difficult, starting with the harder ones would give you a fresher mind. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, just wondering if I should start doing preptests AS I'm going through the syllabus to keep track of my improvements? Or if I should finish the syllabus then start the PTs? Curious to see what you guys do.

Looking for a PDF that encompasses every type of LR Question ex. MSS PSA SA and the definition. My hope is to have a guide I can review so I can get all these different types of questions down right away. Thanks

I feel like I am hitting a plateau on the LR section, I keep getting 7 or 8 questions wrong every time I do it. I am starting to feel sick while doing the questions and cannot concentrate!!! Anyone with similar problem??? How do I overcome this?

Hey friends,

I just wanted to open up a thread where folks can post particular areas of discouragement ... nagging questions, doubts, weariness. Or, areas in which you need specific encouragement.

We're about 2 months from October, and I know for a lot of us, it seems the rubber has just recently met the road in a new way.

Don't worry about sounding whiney. And don't hesitate to ask the question we've all asked ... "Can I really do this?"

Just for fun ...

... What are your little 7sage secrets? Or 0L/LSAT secrets more broadly? Come on, DISH!

Hi everyone, I am just very cautious. Sometimes I did not have time for POE in PT and I just circled the choice I felt very comfortable with. And then BR this question after PT is done. I almost always end up BRing the whole test even I took 20 PTs( BR score is around 172) already. Is this an issue? Thank you!!

I got confused by A because if you negate it, the argument falls apart. If you negate A and assume people obey commands even without mechanisms to compel obedience, then you can no longer assume that international law is ineffective just because there is no police force.

wait, is it because international law would guide nation states, not people?

I definitely like E, but thought A was the absolute necessary choice when compared to E, after a negating test.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi guys,

I took the June LSAT and got a much lower score than I expected from my PTs - about 5 points lower than my practice scores, and 7 points lower than my goal, so I'm retaking it.

But I bought the "10 most recent LSATs" already and took all of them, I think up through 70 or 71. So I'm wondering how I'm going to find enough PTs to study for October... I'd prefer not to take old tests cause I hear (and agree) that the games have changes recently with circle and mapping games being thrown in there in the last couple years, which I believe accounts in part for my score. I wasn't really ready for them.

I thought I saw someone say that PT 71-74 (maybe) were on Amazon or something, but I need more PTs for October, and I'd prefer to take recent ones to get an accurate assessment. I'd like to have at least 8-10 good PTs. Anyone have ideas and/or links to find good tests?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have been reading my books and also doing drills and I am gearing up to start my PTS sometime mid August.

Could some explain what exactly the blind review method is and why it is effective?

Thank you!!

Since no scratch paper is allowed during the LSAT, has anyone had an issue with not having enough room for notes or suggest some best practices when studying? I use a lot of paper working problems out, but perhaps that gets better with practice? Thanks for a great discussion forum!

Hi All,

I apologize if this question has been already been asked before. For those of you who have already written the LSAT or are deep into PTing, I was wondering if you studied using any material other than just 7Sage (other than the LSAT Trainer)?

Basically, did you find that the curriculum of 7Sage was enough on its own (with appropriate drilling and PTing, of course)?

I'm working my way through the syllabus, and for some of the question types there are a lot of Problem Sets (10, 15, 17, etc). Should I hold off on some of these and use them for practice after PTing, or should I be doing them all now as a way to drill in the material?

This is a constant work in progress! If you see a question that's asked frequently and the answer is not here, please let @studentservice know and we'll add it to the list!

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: What's the difference between the courses?

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there was a reference list, etc. with regard to understanding the meanings of the abbreviations that are used in the discussion forums. I understand the basics such as LR (logical reasoning), RC (reading comp), and I am guessing BR means blind review. I know there are a few others I've seen (can't recall at the moment) wherein I had to think about it for awhile to figure out the meaning but nothing came to mind. LOL! Anyway, thanks for the help!

I know people here have different goals and ambitions but what is everyone's goal school and LSAT score? I'll start... Goal LSAT 168+ and Goal schools are Stanford and Duke.

How long into your prep did you start to add time, and become strict with time? and how did you get good with timing besides practice?

I need advice.

I started doing my PTs 4 weeks ago (have done10 PTs so far) - aiming for October.

So my concern is that my scores are fluctuating greatly. Last week I scored a 160 (BR 169) and this week I scored a disappointing 153 (BR 163).

This leads me to my question...

So I have seen improvements in the LG section (used to be - 7--10, now around -2 ~ -4) - of course it still needs work.

RC ... really depends.. sometimes it's -3 and some other times it's -6.

But my biggest problem is the LR section. Except for One PT where I had a 85% accuracy rate, I am consistently getting loads of questions wrong (- 20 ~ - 23, on bad days).

With 2 months to go, I decided to stop doing Prep tests for this week (maybe next week as well) to simply drill more LR questions.

I know that PT is an essential part of the learning curve and I want to do as much as I can before the exam, but I feel like I need to drill more. Instead of exhausting every Cambridge Drill questions, I am thinking about only doing the question types that I am struggling with for now.

Do you think it is better for me to drill more questions, in my current state, and start doing my PTs perhaps next week or the week after? Or should I simply do as much PTs as possible + BR? (I have gone through the core curriculum + the LSAT Trainer- LR )

With 9-10 weeks left, time is gold...

That being said I don't need a 170+... more like165+ or even 160 +

I just got past the 2007 test and am venturing out into the lessons. Did any of you guys actually buy the other tests that have the silent videos available for them? Which tests should I buy first? When I purchased the "ultimate" 7sage program, it stated that the tests came with it. They don't, which is fine, but I'm having trouble figuring out what to purchase first. Can you tell me what you purchased first?

I am new in here. So can anyone please help me to understand what exactly the karma mean here?

I have been redoing LG games and they're very helpful. I wonder for difficult RC and LR questions that I've blind reviewed before, is it a high yield activity to redo the difficult RC and LR questions? If so, what do you think a good time before reattempting them (eg: 3 days, 1 week or longer). Thank you for your help.

Someone added me as a study buddy,today. When I tried to send a message using the button next to their name, I got the error "You must select at least one recipient", even though the user's username was in the "Recipients" field. I tried in both Chrome and IE, in case it was a browser problem. Any help would be appreciated.

I am confused as to how the U.S. law school application process works...many schools begin accepting applications as of Sept 1., but their websites do not provide any information for applicants applying for this upcoming cycle. How are we supposed to know what the components and directions of the applications are (e.g. personal statement, optional essays, etc.) when they do not post the directions for the upcoming application cycle?? Do they only post information in late Aug, which only gives a few weeks to complete the whole application for those who want to submit in Sept?? I know that you can roughly estimate the requirements based on the requirements from last cycle, but I would not want to complete my current application based on last year's instructions. If someone can elucidate this process, that would be tremendously helpful!

Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere. I have been at this since December and just finished taking my 14th PT. My BR scores are high (174+) but I still find myself circling a lot of questions for review. I understand that this can vary from test to test due to difficulty, but should I be concerned that, for example, there are still some LR sections that I circle 18? When I circle that many, most are correct a large majority of the time. I've always had a bad habit of second guessing myself, but I don't want to chalk it up to that if it signals an underlying problem. I would be a lot more concerned with it if my BR weren't where I want them. I just can't figure out why I'm still not 100% sure on so many questions at times.

Hi All,

Lots of people have nervous habits. We have the biters, scratchers, sighers, snifflers, pickers, chompers, mutterers, blinkers, tappers, grimacers, finger-flutterers, foot-jigglers, and so on...

I shall confess here that I'm a picker. It's most pronounced when I'm testing. If I'm on a particularly stressful question, I may pick a scab or a piece of dry skin so hard that I start bleeding a little. Besides good ol' medication (which as we know isn't a magic bullet and can affect our mental sharpness), what are some tips on how to calm these behaviors down during the LSAT?

I was inspired to write this post as I just finished a LG section and realized that my forehead and parts of my neck are inflamed (91% correct makes it worth it though, right?). Time to go clip my nails...
