So on my diagnostic, i'm not sure I did the blind review correctly. I transferred all my answers over to the answer sheet on 7sage, then it just gave me my regular and blind review score. When do I go back after I complete the practice test to review my answers without time constraints? Before or after transferring them to 7sage?

I have two that I need an explanation to.... if anyone wants to take a crack at them.

PT 9, S2, Question 23.

PT 15, S3, Question 18.

Please & thank you!

Hello everybody,

I often struggle at the beginning of my studies. Some of the time I seem to become mentally alert quickly and other times it takes me awhile to reach my optimal attentiveness. It is often discouraging as when I am very alert I do extremely well (missing zero questions) and a lot worse when I am not. Is the inconsistency normal? How do you guys prepare to study/take PTs? I find that my comprehension is very high and maybe this is just a speed issue....I am not exactly sure what the cause of my inconsistency is but I am sure that I want to eliminate it. Any suggestions/encouragement is appreciated.

I really want to score in the 170s,

Thanks

just wondering if other people think the newer prep tests feels quite different than the earlier ones? I was doing pretty well with the older tests and just switched over the newer tests and not doing so well all of the sudden (4.3 point drop on avg). LGs felt immensely easier, averaging -1 at the moment with 10 minutes to spare. But RC felt a lot more tricky, not so much the questions themselves but the answer choices seem to have more/better attractive wrong answers. LR seems to be less structured as well, but i think i can get this section to catch up pretty soon.

any thoughts?

Has anyone thought that the decision to stop the distribution of prep tests might be good for us competition wise? In the future, LSAT test takers will not have the old tests to review and practice from. Maybe this gives us an advantage.

The method on 7sage seems like it would work, but I have some concerns. This is a category i'm having trouble with improving on. From what I understand, 7sage suggests you should go over the games once you finish, then keep reviewing it until you have it down 100%. I've seen the "Fool Proof Method", but I was wondering if on the LSAT I take in June, is there only a certain number of ways games are portrayed, that can be solved with a set number of methods? This is hard to explain, but if I memorize how to do the LG on the 70-74 PT should I be pretty solid for the LSAT?

I'm trying to access addons to buy PT's. Help!

In the description for the starter course, it says I have access to 300+ printable problem sets. Are these the problems at the end of the lessons or am I missing something?

I am taking the LSAT in June and I am looking to take a course in the mean time leading up to the test date. I've seen a few courses offered in my area, but a lot intertwine with my work schedule. I was wondering if anyone knew of any that met once a week on a weekend or anything of the sort? Thanks for any input.

I am in the DFW area in case anyone knows of any specifically applying to my area.

I don't know if this is coincidental, but I noticed the first set of problems on sections 1-4 were easier. Is this the case in most LSAT's? Or is this purely coincidental?

I've just started the first LG module and am on the first problem set (Sequencing Games Homework Set 1). We're asked to tackle it after doing just four logic games along with JY in the prior few lessons.

The problem is that I don't feel those first few lessons offer enough grounding for us to be able to tackle an entire problem set, aim to do it in 10 mins and fool proof them. Each game, for example, contains a bunch of game rules the prior lessons didn't introduce us to, and we're not experienced enough yet in drawing inferences to be able to see them all.

Is it acceptable to treat these problem sets as video lessons, and work through them with the videos rather then just try to tackle them alone? I feel more grounding is needed before we try to tackle questions alone.

The title says it all - enjoy:

Hey, curious as to what will be going on with 7sage with these changes... @"Dillon A. Wright" @"J.Y. Ping"

http://lsatblog.blogspot.ca/2015/03/lsac-bans-lsat-preptest-pdf-sales.html

Does anyone know if this is allowed or looked down upon. Furthermore, do I need to check my prescription in with someone? I take medication for my ADD, and I was wondering if I would be allowed to take it during the 15 minute break. Please no judgements, this is a completely legal prescription.

So I finally decided to make a free account, do some of the introductory lessons and then do the June 2007 test as a diagnostic. My problem is that I realized I have no real idea how much I can expect to improve from this point on, or how long that might take.

I scored a 166, with more than half of my errors in Logic Games. Lost 3 marks in reading comp, 1 in each of the logic reasoning sections, and 7 in logic games.

I know that the games are meant to be the easiest to improve at, but where could I realistically expect to end up, if going for the June test this year? I was hoping to try for 170-172, but I have no idea if that's possible in this timeframe.

I made a mistake on when transferring from paper to the online answer sheet, I used to be able to see an option to change the answer right below the score portion but it is not there anymore...any other methods?

Hello, everyone!

I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the recent LSAT changes. If you have not here's a recent post with the article attached: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2484/lsac-licensing-changes.

Anyway, I know a lot of people are probably freaking out. Hell, I made sure to DL all that I needed from 7Sage when I first read the news. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered. What happens to 7Sage and other online based prep courses? How will this affect how I study? When will changes take effect, and how soon? How will this affect my subscription? I mean, after all, we all did pay X amount for X amount of time. This all includes the PTs, lessons, and videos for every question. Well, here's the direction I THINK LSAC is heading towards.

We all know that 7Sage uses paid subscription, and that we are allotted a limited amount of time of which can be extended at any time. My understanding is, LSAC no longer wants PDF PTs to be free to circulate once someone is done with any course that utilizes these PTs. So, my assumption is they will change the format of future PTs to another file type, and will have all prep test courses that use PDF PTs to switch over to this new file type. This will be similar to renting a digital textbook at any university/college. You purchase the license, and after X amount of time the file deletes itself or is no longer accessible. It's not much different than the current system at 7Sage, minus the PTs will self-delete. It's like losing the ultimate package after one year of being subscribed to 7Sage, we just can't keep the PTs we downloaded a long time ago.

Along with everyone else, I'd like to hear what the higher ups have to say about this. @"J.Y. Ping" and @"Dillon A. Wright"!

If you have any alternate theories or anything that compliments what I wrote, please discuss! Anticipate the worst, hope for the best!

I'm sticking to the study schedule created for me as much as I can. But was just wondering if BR/drilling time is factored into the stated weekly hours, and the hours next to each module title?

For example, the first Logic Games module comes in around 7.5 hours (stated by 7Sage) but adding up the video/quiz times comes to much less. Therefore, I'm assuming some drilling time is factored in?

I only ask because, if it isn't, I want to build a schedule where I allocate many more hours to each module in order to drill. Same for the PTs when it comes to BR.

Thanks!

Everytime I use the app it crashes within 3 minutes or so. Super frustrating! I've tried re-installing, closing all other running apps, but the problem perists. Help please!

Hey guys! I can't find the original thread @emli1000 started about BR'ing PTs together. I'm going to take PT3 tomorrow and was wondering if anybody wanted to BR together. I also can BR whichever PTs you guys are taking (though I'll pass if its PTs 50-74, since I'm saving those for when we get closer to the test date).

Hi Team,

Just wanted to run this new study plan with you all and see what your take is. I took the exam in Feb and got a 164. I want to aim for the 173+ range so going for it hard again.

Plan:

Restudy all 7sage material and put more of an ephasis on basic concepts i.e logic lessons etc

Cambridge Drills

Manhattan Material ( if needed)

20-25 PTs

BR the heck out of every question till I can explain it to a 2 yr old :P

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Usually when I BR a PT I do every section. I always circle the ones I know I'm not 100% sure about but when I BR I go through the entire PT and write out my reasoning for every single answer choice. It's time consuming but it makes my brain work and do what I've learned throughout the course. So it's kind of a win-win situation. Once I finish BR I watch every single video explanation even though my reasoning is exactly as the video explanation, but I feel that if I skip questions I may miss something important lol so I watch every video. Is this recommended? Or should I just focus on those questions that I'm missing instead? Has anyone else done this before?

Hello, all!

I decided to start doing the LG bundle games that I never did (when studying for the December exam). I always averaged about 3-5 wrong which really frustrated me. My best ever was -1 and I was never able to hit that again. I finally hit 0 wrong in 33 minutes and 30 seconds. It feels amazing :)! I need to continue of course, but it feels good knowing my hard work is paying off and that I might have finally gotten over that hump!

Share your success/hump stories as well please :D! it's great motivation :)!

Hi all, I have taken the Feb 15 LSAT. I have scored a 145 on the test and was very disappointed with my score. I was really bothered by the test anxiety that had my heart beating very fast and was a big factor because I felt like all of the questions were going past me and I could not settle into the test at all.

I have been preparing for the test for over 6 months and have been scoring in the mid 150’s a score that is sufficient to got into a local law school that I have just been rejected from. I am wondering if I should consult a psychiatrist and maybe even do hypnosis exercises to help me get over the severe anxiety I had when taking the test. If anyone else has had the same issues or has any tips for what I should do please respond.

I know this sounds far fetched to some readers but its definitely real for me. I know this because at home I have done over 30 PT’s and was very comfortable in my own home setting, but when the timer started during the real test I just felt like I was taking my first diagnostic. I felt like I should of gotten a 155, a score that is not high at all but would be competitive for the law school for which I am applying.

Please advise.

Thank you,

Aiming for the October LSAT.

I am currently around 35% through the core curriculum. While I feel I have a better overall understanding of things and that stuff is coming together nicely (scoring around 7/10 on the quizzes), I do still feel somewhat lost at points. It's as if some of what I am learning isn't sticking.

Naturally I am just in the infancy of my LSAT career - but is this feeling normal? Or should I be finishing each section in the core curriculum with the "I have a 100% concrete, rock-solid, iron-clad understanding of EVERYTHING I just read" feeling?

I'm sure things will really come together when I start drilling PTs.

Any wisdom is welcomed and appreciated!
