Hello folks,

I am trying to get some thoughts on the whole Lsac Account issue. My acct expires in May '15. Last time I took the Lsat was in 2010 while in grad school and I've been working full time ever since then. I understand once you register for the Lsat it extends for another couple of years. I was planning for June '15 but after recently joining the 7sage nation, I realized I will definitely need more time. Is it wise to allow my account to expire since I don't know when I will be well prepared to take the Lsat this year? Any feedback will be helpful. Thanks.

Hey 7Sagers,

We recently implemented a new member type to those who (1) was or is a ⭐ member; (2) was or is active and helpful on the discussion forums; and (3) verified with us that they have a 170 or higher LSAT score: Sage! What comes with this new title, you ask?

-A fancy "Sage" title on their username instead of the common "Member" title.

-Everyone else's envy.

So if you see one of the Sages posting on the forum, give them a high five (before you ask them questions :P)

Hi Admins:

I was wondering if y'all can please add an upload photo option? I find that sometimes it is time consuming and confusing for me to write a comment because some comments are better with a picture and not just words and symbols. For example, I'd like to take a pic to show fellow 7sagers my game board set up, and also lawgic drawings that may be confusing even with the symbol indicators. This also saves me lots of time, than to write it out again.

Just a thought :)

Thanks!!

Since PT 1-35 are already used in the curriculum, is there a way 7 sage can provide the full section LR and RC sections for PT's 1-35 to students who already purchased the course?

Hey 7Sagers,

Had someone write in with a question that I thought you could help out with! Here it is:

I’m having difficulty with regards to the accuracy of my BR abilities. I’m already heavily stressed during timed pt. And I don’t have the confidence/ memory to remember to circle the questions.

My mind is already heavily condensed with information. It’s a fault in my capabilities, but i want to be honest and realistic with myself.

So, what about this amended BR method

Day 1: PT 40/Timed

Day 2: New clean copy of PT 40 Un-timed

Then grade both copies/ watch video & keep track of missed questions.

So, my account will end today and I've taken the LSAT and I'm done, hopefully (that depends on my Feb. LSAT score). I've studied for over a year. Unfortunately, it was difficult to balance working 50-60 hours with studies, but it's all in the past. Here's what I've learned, and I hope this helps everyone else who's starting to study or is in the process of studying:

1. Learn the Logic (conditions, reversals, everything)! - 7sage does a wonderful job with explaining it, so spend a lot of time understanding it. The curve breaker questions require heavy use of conditional logic and logic overall, so, if you know Logic, this will be put you up there. I remember a quote from an LSAT book it said "if you don't learn logic, you're destined to go to law school in Tijuana". Sad, but true - although I don't know if there is a law school in Tijuana :)

2. Logical Reasoning - I used LR Bibles, LSAT Trainer and Manhattan study books in conjunction with 7sage, and while some may say they tend to conflict one another, I found them to actually compliment each other (e.g. in my opinion Manhattan LR book does a better job at explaining NA/SA questions than the Bibles do, whereas The LSAT Trainer is the best at explaining Flaw/Weaken questions).

3. Logic Games - Practice, practice, practice. I improved on Logic Games within 2 weeks of studying and what I did, is I printed like 50 logic games, 4 copies of each and I did and re-did them until I got every single one right. Once you see the patterns, the questions come naturally.

4. Reading Comp. - I am not an expert and this was my worst section, but The LSAT Trainer is the best tool along with Reading Comp Bible. But, in my personal view, it is very difficult to improve on this section.

5. Practice Tests - I used 7sage for the blind review, but there were times where I was having hard time understanding the explanations (especially for LR section - sorry 7sage). Two weeks before my test I found lsathacks.com and I think they do the best job at explaining LR. The idea behind LR argument questions is to reduce the question stem into conclusion and evidence and do what's required (weaken, strengthen, find flaw, you get it). Best part, it's free.

Good luck everyone!

Hi Sages, I was just wondering if older PT's will ever go on sale? Thanks for entertaining the idea.

Hi I took the December LSAT after studying using the beginner course (and disappointed), now I plan on taking the June LSAT. I purchased the upgraded course with everything. Looking for advice for hitting these bonus problem sets. Should I do all the weakening in a row for example? Or should I throw some parallel problem sets in between to make it more like the test. Is it best just to focus everything on one set at a time? If you are reading this and have been in a similar spot please let me know what felt right for you. Thanks

Hi there! Has anyone here had the experience of interviewing for a law school? One of the schools I'm applying to has interviews and since it's not the norm, I can't find much on the topic.

If you have interviewed, could you tell me what it was like and what kinds of questions they asked? Was it comparable somewhat to a job interview?

And what kinds of questions, if any, should I be asking them? I'm a little nervous for it so words of wisdom would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Requirements:

PTS - 165+

Be reliable.

That's it :) message me

I'm signing up for 7Sage's Law School Prep course now that my LSAT prep days are over. The 7Sage LSAT course was so good and I've enjoyed this online community so much, I feel confident I'll learn a whole lot - and enjoy doing so - on the law school prep course. Anyone thinking of doing likewise? Would be great to go forth with some familiar 7Sagers!!!

Has anyone taken a BlackStone LSAT Prep Course? I absolutely love 7 sage but I think I need something in person to prepare for June. I am reading reviews and it seems like everyone loves it. Just wanted to check here if anyone has heard/taken it themselves.

thank you!

Is anyone else whose LSAT days are over feeling a bit rudderless after their final test? I'm flipping through books I put off reading because of LSAT study but can't settle to start one, am flitting from one thing to another, and am basically lacking direction! I thought it would be straight up celebrating and relaxation but somehow I'm in a zombie-like state of withdrawal following the months of intensive study and knowing what my top priority was every moment of my life outside of work. I know I'll adjust but it's like some sort of mega adjustment today - I feel rudderless!

Anyone else experiencing a weird post-LSAT mental state? Is it just me??

Hello all,

Me again. I'm starting PTs excessively early. I'm Blind Reviewing but not reviewing too intensively yet on incorrect questions. I'm a retaker so I have a base of knowledge and know my problem areas on the entirety of the LSAT but I'm not too far into my 7Sage course. I'm looking at October for a retake which is what I think will be honestly more than enough time to get to my target score of 170+. I work full-time and I know it will be very difficult for me to do 2-3 PTs a week when it gets close to game day. I took the June 2007 PT last month scored a 149 timed and 155 Blind review. I took PT 44-October 2004 this weekend. I got a 153 timed and 160 Blind Review. Now, that is higher than any of the PTs I took for preparing my first "real" LSAT in September and the September score was a 145 about average to what I was doing on PTs at the time. I never dreamed of seeing a 160 this early in my prep, even on BR. And I'm having a difficult time giving myself credit for improvement. Admittedly, its not huge but its an improvement nonetheless. Essentially what I am getting at is I've heard the older tests are easier and how indicative of improvement are the older tests? And furthermore, its just two tests that are better, should I consider consistency? I know I need more improvement but to see improvement is good I think, but I worry about giving myself any sense of false confidence. Any advice would be appreciated.

Just looking for some advice. I'm right at the start of things....

Just completed the 'Most Strongly Supported' module and averaged 72% on all of the 54 practice questions at the end. As I am unlikely to encounter this question type again until I start drilling practice tests...could I improve during that stage?

Perhaps I'm not wording it correctly (It doesn't read right to me!): Is it possible to improve on a specific question type will drilling PTs, or have I reached a plateau on my standard because I've completed the theory module?

Any advice welcomed!

Well, LSAT over and today was my last LSAT day EVER as I've already been accepted to what is probably my #1 law school choice, taking all factors into consideration. Remembering the LSAC/7Sage rules of confidentiality, how did it go for fellow 7Sagers? I felt it went okay though it will make a difference which turns out to be the experimental section as one went better for me than the other. Cockroaches in my hotel room last night didn't help me get a relaxed night's sleep but the test center did a really good job - efficient and pleasant. Hope you all did yourself proud :-)

It seems that no matter what I do, I can't get any better at these things. I think that most of my problem is that I am relatively slow at critical reading, but I have always been like that and I don't really see it changing much. Not much that I really am expecting to get out of this, I just felt like taking a break and whining.

I saw that the December NYC group had a ton of replies and was wondering if anyone is interested in doing one for June. I live in upper Manhattan and can commute (as long as its under 1 hour each way).

I work full time and also am in grad school so weekends work the best for me but I can also do some week nights as well. Strengths are RC and some LG but currently terrible at LR, so I will be focusing on those quite a bit.

Hi!

I'm looking for a study buddy/ group for June 2014. I would like to meet 1-2 times a week to review PTs and go over problems, or review 7Sage material.

I'm looking for an online study buddy because I live in rural Washington state, and I haven't had any luck with finding local people to study with.

PM me! And perhaps we can meet soon to talk about a study plan.

Thanks!

Amanda

Hi,

I was wondering if you guys were reading any good books while studying for the LSAT? I wanted to know if any of you could recommend any? It's make RC easier for me :)

Hey 7Sagers, I think it would be great to get a bunch of Calgary LSAT geeks together to work towards the June 2015 exam. PM me if you'd like to set something up!

... Unless you like spam. But I don't think you do.

Here's the deal: Spambots are peeking at the discussion forum, taking down your emails and setting it up for junk mail. That's no good - I should know. I had to change emails quite a few times in the past. (Personal Note: Microsoft is junk about junk mail. No proper settings. Gmail is better.)

So: Don't include emails! PM them instead. :)

On my ticket it says the test can take up to 7 hours. Can it take more than the standard 3 hours? I can't imagine a timed test could go over...

hi i am starting my prep june 2015 exam. i have been looking around at various prep courses but i think 7sage is the cheapest and makes sense for me 4 months left. i have taken two prep tests and scored around 152.

I will buy the 3 month package i was wondering if any one else is on the same page as me.

Hi guys, I'm not sure where to post this - I apologize if it is in the wrong spot.

So I received a fee waiver in over the summer and I found out [in December] that my information did not arrive and I quickly re-registered for February 2015 and faxed my information to a direct line. Everything was all set, even though I knew February would be tough because I don't have normal work hours and I had to request time off for December.

My unit is e-duty this weekend and I was last on rotation for emergency calls, but "as luck would have it..."

I'm leaving in about 30 minutes to pick up a kid who ran away from his placement for the third time in 6 months. Four hour round trip, not counting amount of time we're going to spend looking for an appropriate place tonight/this morning.

I was trying to find something on LSAC which indicated what to do for emergency illness or situation on the day of an exam, if you have a fee waiver. I can only find deadline / cancellation details.

I don't know if it's better to no-show and let someone know an emergency came up or if I should try to contact someone right now. I don't want to lose a waiver for two tests, but I realize that may happen. I'm hoping to at least reschedule for June and keep part of the waiver, but I don't know if this will disqualify me in some way.

There's probably information on here somewhere, but I'm throwing on clothes and getting phone calls and alerts on my work cell, so I can't think clearly. Any direct info or insight would help me so much. Thanks.
