Both 7Sage and LSAT Trainer cherry pick individual questions to correspond to particular lessons, which is a good thing. I keep meticulous records of all those questions in an Excel spreadsheet (conditionally formatted to mark any I missed). That way, after I finished my core study, and begin to PT, I will know what tests are truly untouched.

My question: will it throw off my 7Sage analytics to input those scattered individual questions to identify my problem areas? Are the algorithms designed for whole PTs only? I don't want to do it if it will obscure my PT improvement.

Hi guys, On my last 3 PT I've takdn at the actual test location under timed conditions I've had much more trouble finishing the sections on time and my scores have really dipped. I have no issues when I take a strict timed PT at home so I guess this is psychological. I keep putting myself in the test day environment but I haven't seen any improvement. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to handle? I'm worried because my scores are like 7-8 points lower when I'm testing at the test location. Thoughts?

Site Changes

I've been trying to answer a lot of people's questions about the changes going on with the site, and I trust that y'all have a plan in place for the new problem sets and all that. However, I don't get why all of the explanations have been removed from the analytics page. It was so easy to jump right into reviewing after I BR because I could just open a new tab right off of the analytics page with my scored PT breakdown showing individual links for explanations for each question. After poking around I finally discovered I could still access the explanations, but now I have to go to the syllabus, find the PT I just did, and then go to a page with no information on my performance and select whatever questions I'd like to review. I'm hoping this is just a byproduct of some ongoing transitions behind the scenes because it was much more user friendly in the previous setup. I know that y'all work hard to make this site what it is, so @"Dillon A. Wright" or @alancheuk could either of you shed some light on this for us? I know I'm not the only one with these questions. Thanks for all that you do for this community, we really appreciate it!

I'm sure that I'm not the only one that noticed there are a bunch of new problem sets shoved into our study guide. This really stressed me out, since I was just about to finish the old problem sets, and now I have no idea which ones I have done or should do. I am planning to take the test in October, and I don't think I'll be able to finish them all in time while doing the PTs at the same time. Is anyone else in the same boat?

PT46 BR Tonight at 8pm EST

Dear friends, did you awaken with a sense of undeniable joy that today is LSATurday? I know I did. Because I, like you, love the LSAT.

If you do not yet love the LSAT or are looking to rekindle the flames of your desire to immolate it by means of your passion, then join us tonight for our group blind review of PT46. We will light your candle, and you ours.

Note on BR groups/how to join/our process

  • For the newbies: PM me with your Skype handle. You can also add me on Skype, using handle nikkers625 .
  • For the regulars: Please let me know if you DO NOT plan to join tonight's session.
  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.
  • Note: We prefer not to check answers during the call, and ideally, you will not have checked your answers before the call. We check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :)
  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATter (does such a person exist?).
  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.
  • To mix metaphors a bit:

    Order of PTs

    After starting PTs a couple weeks ago with 36 and going in order from there, I started to wonder what other approaches people take to doing PTs. So for those of you that are in PT mode I was curious about strategy. Does everyone just do them in order and eventually see a decrease in their scores as PTs get harder and then their scores rise again when they adjust? Or are some of you mixing it up a bit and either doing them randomly or deliberately in a different order, but perhaps saving a few of the most recent for right before your real LSAT?

    All lessons with problem sets are not available. For example, "Main Point and Main Conclusion Question Problem Sets" and "Most Strongly Supported Questions Problem Set" and their corresponding answer pages are saying "page not found". Any ideas what's happening?

    Hey, guys!

    I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with the Law School Prep course here at 7Sage. I love the community, the program is amazing, and I'd like to continue supporting this program as it supports my growth and ability to do well in law school. I've watched all the free videos, and I'm confident that my familiarity with 7Sage will be a nice fit with the Law School Prep Courses offered. However, What does it include that programs like "Barbri" and "Mini Review" do not? Maybe this is the wrong section for this, and maybe I'm asking too many questions, but I'm not exactly sure what to look for. Am I looking for just practice exams at issue-spotting? Am I looking for more than that? Will I need to go beyond 7Sage like some others do for the LSAT prep course (LSAT Trainer mixed with 7Sage)? I love 7Sage, and I trust their product, I just want a bit of a nudge haha! Hope all the waiters are dying with anxiety like I am :D! Good luck to those studying! This is an awesome course.

    I am using the most recent version of Chrome (Version 43.0.2357.124) and about a week ago or so I started having issues with the Recent Discussion links on the dashboard page. I can see everything on the dashboard just fine but I can't access any of the discussion board topics from the dashboard. The little white glove still appears to indicate a hyperlink, but nothing happens when I click the topic titles. However, I can access the discussion forum from the top banner and then everything works for me from the main discussion forum page. Is anyone else having similar issues? It's not a huge deal, just thought I'd bring it up because I usually access the forum through comments on the dashboard and now it's not working. Thanks for any help in this matter.

    Quick question. Do you guys watch all video explanations of all the homework and exercises (games, RC, LR) in the core curriculum? It's taking me awfully long to finish it and I want to know if I should change my approach here. Thanks in advance you beautiful people!

    I have some study materials I need to rid myself of. I have about 20 preptest (that have been done but can either be erased or used as study materials) and 3 Power Score Bibles (lr, rc, lg) clean, no marks. I am willing to send this stuff to the first person who wants it. Free, just send me a message. My husband will appreciate you, he is sick of finding a prep test in every room of our house.

    October

    I took a long-ass break from the LSAT to focus on work. Now, I'm getting back into LSAT mode for this October. For those of you in the same boat as myself---how does everyone feel about their prospects? It's been said (with more or less accuracy) that the October test is the most popular time to take it. Did that factor for or against your reasons to go with this October? All opinions are welcomed! :)

    Hello all,

    I started PTing recently after finishing the curriculum. My timed PT was 137 while my BR was 166!

    Any hope for me? What can I conclude from this? Any suggestion is appreciated

    Does anybody know when the personal statement program will start?

    Just saw the discussion thread for that and I wish I had submitted an essay to him while he was offering to revise them for free :(. But it still sounds like something I want to be a part of! Maybe I missed another discussion about when this program will be ready to start? Does anybody know? Thanks in advance!! :)
