For those people applying to schools in Ontario, Canada (such as University of Toronto) for this November, we need to apply through OLSAS. There are a lot of different things on there and some items might require clarification. Since I think a decent number of us are applying in Ontario, I think it's a good idea that we all ask each other in this thread (perhaps make it a sticky thread). Any random question. Try to make an effort to find out first, then ask here. I'm sure some people have already called OLSAS for things of this nature. Hopefully you all agree this is a good idea. I know I wouldn't mind just being able to ask here rather than having to call if I need clarification.

I spent the entire summer working 50 hour weeks at a law firm and now back at school for my 3rd year of undergrad. I want to get back to studying for the LSAT which I haven't done since May-ish. Somewhat busy now with school and clubs but I do have some time to start studying again. I finished off the complete course in May and now I have to idea where to pick back up, I don't want to start right away with Prep Tests because I feel like I will just ruin my confidence by taking one after being so far removed from the LSAT. Any Suggestions??
So I just looked at the weather and a hurricane will be moving up the East Coast in the next few days.
What are the general practices for the LSAT and inclement weather? Do they ever cancel? This may be the first time in my life I don't want a test postponed.
I am having a hard time distinguishing between Sufficient Assumption questions and Principle questions from the question stem.
Can someone please assist me?
Hi eveyone, does anyone know where I can get preptests 39-51? Those are the only ones I seem to be missing & I couln't find them on the LSAC site.
Greetings all,
Where do you all purchase your PT's? I'm having trouble finding new versions of PT's 41, 42 and 43 at a reasonable price (found each for like $30 on places like eBay and Amazon!!) I would also prefer them to be new, found a couple used copies... used makes me nervous.
Good luck to all the Oct 2015 test takers!!! :)
I scored 163 in Dec/14
Took a break waiting for application results
Resumed studying in June
Registered for Oct
Took some fresh PTs now
No difference from last year
Debating taking Dec/15 instead
How do I overcome this? I've literally taken every single timed PT so many times that I've memorised virtually every answer choice. I don't even need to read the RCs anymore, although I've barely finished them on the new ones today.
How do I beat my best without sacrificing my remaining PT 74 & 75?
Many thanks on advice and experiences :D
Btw I'm doing four month increments. I began studying last year at the beginning of August.
Though, I read JY's article the other day about taking a year to master the test, so I wouldn't be so bummed about potentially taking June/2016
I could do LG with my eyes closed ha ha, but I get wrecked over LR and RC :(
I have the 7 sage beginner program and have not written and of the newest practice tests. The most recent test I have written has been prep test 48, does anyone know how much the newer LSATS differ in range of difficulty. what should i expect for this saturday ??
thanks
Hello dear friends,
We will be holding a special Pep Rally to get everyone encouraged and excited for the October 3rd test.
Join us at 8pm ET on Weds ... Special appearance by @mike Kim, author of The LSAT Trainer, and 7sage's own Jonathan Wang—both will infuse our revelry with some expert fist-bumping.
Possible additional special guests ... announcements pending!!
To join, add me on Skype (nikkers625); if you've already added me, send me a message on Skype letting me know you'd like to join.
I know it's in the category of ridiculous questions. Now let's get to business. No one likes to waste time filling in bubbles. And for ADHD + OCD perfectionists like myself, when we read "make sure it's perfectly filled in," we make damn sure it's filled in perfectly, wasting precious seconds on the clock.
So, does anyone know how perfect it needs to be before the scantron reading machine thingy fucks it up? If I leave an imperfect stray mark outside the circle am I finished?
And, does anyone have any strategies for colouring quicker? (if you noticed the U in colour it's because us Canadians spell it the correct way lol) Do you start with the outside ring and work your way in?
And yes, I already bought those tri-conderoga pencils.
Hey just wondering where some of you bought all of the PTs.
On Amazon they sell them in mini bundles. For example, PTs 4-14 and 7-16 etc. However, there is another site called
http://everylsat.com/ They sell the PTs all together. So you can buy all 72 of them together. I want to know if anyone has used this site or if anyone has any other sites where we can buy them

Is it true that in the game section that the 1st game is the easiest and the 4th game is the most difficult?
Is it true that in the logical reasoning sections that questions in the middle (11-20) are more difficult?
I've been having a Little scratch in my throat, and a bit of mucus waking up for the past week. I am in isolation to not get sick but at times I do have to face humanity and risk it.
Im taking emergenC, vitamins,eating pumpkin seeds but this scratch is no leaving. I am praying it won't plant itself likr a bomb on Oct 3.
If anyone has positive stories of getting a cold on lsat day and still acing it that would make me feel great lol.
I can no longer view my study buddies' analytics. Is anyone else having the same issue? Is there any way to fix this problem, @"Alan Cheuk" @"Dillon A. Wright" ?
So I was hoping for some advice on when to take the LSAT. Here is my story with maybe too much info:
I was planning to take the Dec LSAT. I diagnosed 158 in early August. Started studying with Powerscore then but not too hard because I was finishing a pretty long trip abroad. I came back mid August and started studying pretty hard. I got a 20 hour a week job that started in September. Ran through the PS bibles. Yea, they were pretty bad. Finished them my mid Sept. Took another PT and score 162. Wasn't sure what to do from there because I had no more study material besides PT. Found out about 7sage online and based on its good reviews and lower cost I picked it up.
Now I'm about 35% of the way through the curriculum but just got offered a full time job at a law firm that seemed too good to turn down so I took it. I start next Monday. With that, I doubt... well am almost sure I will not be ready for the Dec LSAT.
The February test seems kind of poop because it is really late in the cycle, likely on an ugly cold day, and if I don't do as well as I am hoping, I don't even know where I did poorly. But the timing seems right and I could at least try to apply for this cycle.
And then, there is June. Which seems oh so pretty. It is in a beautiful time of the year and administered at noon which is a huge plus for this guy. But that means waiting another year. Since I have this pretty cool job that is not so bad but more concerning to me than that it seems so far away. I motivated to study now. I feel it. But I don't know if I could keep feeling so pump for another 8 months. Ugh that's far. Is that too much time? I know JY says 1 year. I know, but that feels like a lot to me knowing how my energy levels for things fluctuates.
My insane plan for now was to sign for the Dec or Feb test, see how I feel closer to the date, if I feel bad: postpone. If I feel good: take it. Then once I take the test, If I feel bad: cancel it. If I feel good: get my score and hope I wasn't dead wrong.
My concern with this plan is that 1) it might a waste of $mula$ 2) I may hella misjudge how I did and end up with a crap score 3) It can really throw off my study schedule 4) I have never heard of someone doing this so it feels silly.
Is my plan for now that bad? Its pretty bad huh? So just put aside my concerns for the Feb or June tests and just take one of those? And if so which one?
Ahhh, well if you have made it this far I already love you for reading through my somewhat unexisting problems. Your the best. And if you could give me some advice, well then you are the bestest. So many thanks in advance.
Is it wise to do a final practice test the day before the test or is it better to take that day off and relax or exercise or something? Does anyone have any tips for the day before? Thanks.
The Chinese characters in my notes now get replaced by "??" on this website. I use another browser and it's still the same. Anyone encounter the similar situations?
It seems to be a tech problem of 7sage, and I will truly appreciate someone can fix it ASAP since I'm taking my test 5 days later....
Hey, I'm about to begin taking PTs 36-65. If anyone else is interested in doing a full blind review of any of the aforementioned tests, let's meet up and tackle this thing. I live in north Dallas, but willing to meet anywhere DFW area. Maybe a campus library if parking is not an issue. I can meet mornings or at night, but we should allot 4+ hours if we are going to master the whole test.
Let's do this!
Hello, I'm planning to take the February test. I am currently reading through LSAT Trainer and PowerScore as well as going to school full-time. I am not confident enough about Logic Games and am considering registering for one of 7Sage prep course. The two courses in contention are Starter and Premium.Though the Trainer is immensely helpful with Logical Reasoning, I find Logic Games difficult to grasp. Which course would be ideal considering this time frame and circumstance? Suggestions and comments welcomed. Thank you!
Does anyone have any recommendations for a private tutor in the Los Angeles area?
Hey everyone,
I am hoping someone can help me because I feel as if I am in a slump right now and am having a hard time getting out. When I started this 7Sage program, I was very motivated and charged at it like a bull and was killing it…However, these past two weeks I have been slacking HARD and just can't get my head into the game. I have all the time in the world to study and do pt's however I just can't get myself there. Even right at this moment, I am doing problem sets, and blind reviewing but I am not operating at my normal potential and it's making me frustrated because I am missing things that I wouldn't normally miss.
Did I burn myself out? Does anyone else feel totally unmotivated? How do you get yourself out?
I am planning on taking the Dec 5th LSAT but I'm not sure if thats a good idea considering how I'm feeling lately.
Hello,
It seems like my 7 sage grader is not working I tried with another device, and also deleted and downloaded the app twice to make sure it's not my phone. Has any body encountered this? if so would you please tell me how to resolve it?
thanks

If link doesn't work, my page currently says limited to 31/77 completed tests, and then lists 27 tests. I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out when I bought 34 tests, and I have 7 tests left, 31+7 != 34.
Just FYI. Not a big deal at all.
