Does anyone have a 180 watch they'd like to sell? I'm looking to purchase

Hello! I feel like I ask a LOT of questions, but oh well.

Necessary assumptions. I'm having trouble with them. I've been through how they're explained via the course, but can someone else maybe offer up an explanation for how to reach a correct answer?

I usually identify the conclusion. Identify the premise. But then how is it best to be solved? I know that there's a whole... negate the answer choice and if your argument breaks down, then it's correct, but I often get lost/confused when I start negating the answers.

Thanks!

Help!

As of recently, I've been working through the trial version, and while the videos were initially playing well, I'm no longer able to view them. Why?

As of recently, I'm receiving the following error message:

"Video not found or access denied: http://videos.7sage.com/lsat/lessons/the-blind-review-is-a-habit.mp4"

I've tried viewing these videos in Safari, Chrome, and Internet Explorer... I've also toggled flash player on and off as my default player, to no avail..

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Dusty

Does anyone know where you can go to look at the official difficulty level for each individual LR question? I know the 7sage analytics rates the difficulty of each question but I believe that is based only on those who input into 7sage. I'm wondering if LSAC releases percentage of students who got a question right vs wrong for every person that took the test officially.

Hey 7Sagers! Another question was emailed to me that I think you could help with! Here it is:

I just took the LSAT on Sept. 27th, and unfortunately, I don't think I did as well as I would like. I have the GPA and Resume of a top 10 law school student, but my LSAT score is just not on the mark.

The reason I am e-mailing you is because I would like to know more about transferring law schools. I would love to attend a top 10 school (NYU, UC-Berkley, etc), but I feel my chances of acceptance are just too low. However, I have heard of students transferring into top 10 schools by succeeding their first year at a reputable law school with a high GPA and class rank.

Do you know if applying and being rejected from one of the above mentioned schools lessen my chances of being accepted as a transfer student? Is there a way to do this strategically (i.e. not apply to these top 10 schools but transfer) ?

HI! Okay. So. I was kind of wondering what everyone's improvement was like/if I'm on track.

Before I started with 7sage, I was probably sitting in the 140 ish mark, maybe even less than that. I started with 7sage, stopped doing the practice tests, and since I have taken 3.

The first one, I didn't blind review it. I got a 154.

The second one, I did blind review it. I got a 155 I believe.

I reviewed those concepts and went over the Logic Games section of that test since then (I wrote it on Monday).

I wrote one today. My mark before blind review was 157. Which is only 3 marks off... from the suggested LSAT mark to get into my University. Obviously I want to improve into the 160++ range.

If I keep on it, doing 2-3 exams a week, blind reviewing each one, practicing old Logic Games to reinforce concepts, is it possible to break that 160++ mark? Has anyone else had success?

Hello! I am reaching out to my 7Sage community folks because I really need someone to look over my personal statement. I do not necessarily have people around me with solid writing skill due to my non-traditional background. If anyone is willing to provide me with a good critique, I would be more than grateful for your generosity.

Thank you

Hi all,

I just tried registering for the LSAT and the site says that the testing center in my area is currently full and that I'll be wait listed for a spot. Has this happened to anyone else and what does it mean? I'm a bit confused because despite being wait listed, I'm still supposed to pay for the registration...?

Hey 7Sagers,

A user wrote in to studentservices@7sage.com with concerns about timing and I figured you'd be able to help. Here's the message:

I have registered for your course since April. I was going to take the LSAT test, but since English is my second language, It took more time to learn the materials that I thought. So, I couldn't finish the material of the course by September and had to reschedule my test for December. Hopefully, the remaining time helps me to master on the most part of the LSAT.

Although I have finished 71% of the course, I feel I need to review the materials again. When I take the test without timing, my score gets about 156- 160, but with timing I only can finish two parts of each section and of course my score is less than above.

Do you have any recommendation?

Thank You!

We're happy to announce that PT 73 will be on sale at 7Sage starting November 1st.

The price will be just $5.99 for only 3 days - November 1st, November 2nd, and November 3rd.

After that, price goes up $29.99.

With PT73, you can download the PDF instantly and get +1 month access to all video explanations (from PT 73 and everything else you have access to).

Some students were confused about the 1 month access time last time, so please be advised that if you don't already have a course and PT 73 is the only thing that you purchase, you will only have access to the PDF download + all video explanations for PT 73 for 1 month. If you're already enrolled in a full course, you'll get a +1 month extension on everything.

Quick question for the strongly supported questions. Is the right answer choice going to be considered the conclusion of the stimulus?

I completed the 7sage starter course to prepare for the September LSAT, but I'm pretty sure I'll be taking it again in December. In order to continue studying, I was considering upgrading to the Premium course. However, before making the purchase, can someone please tell me in more detail what the Premium course can additionally offer me? Specifically, I want to know which additional PTs with full explanation are offered. I was debating on upgrading vs buying a few of the latest PTs and just reviewing the lessons from the Starter course. Any thoughts/advice for preparing my study schedule as well as the pros/cons of just buying more PTs rather than upgrading would be immensely appreciated :)

I'm completely in a slump. I have done around 10 Pt's so far, and my highest score is a 153....but my blind review score keeps increasing, even to the point of 173 on my last PT. I'm set for the December LSAT, can I expect to break into the 160's? Or am I forever stuck in the 150s.. My goal is at least a 163 from now to the December LSAT which will allow me to get into the law schools of my choice.

Hey guys.

I took September LSAT and I have no idea how I did.

Just waiting for my score..

I registered for the December LSAT nonetheless, and I know I have to start studying again, but I just have very little motivation.. arghh! Anyone in the same boat?

I'm a senior at college so already a lot of work with school.

I know I have to keep my LSAT beat on but it's just so hard!!

If you guys have any tips to share, I would very much appreciate it.

Please motivate me!!

Hi everyone! I've been studying for the LSAT since this June, and I was going to take the Sept. test. I felt that I'm not going to get a good score at the end of september, so I postponed the test to Dec. The problem at this point is that ... I did all my prep tests (didnt stick with Blind Review methods, cuz I came to understand this method from 7Sage only recently), but still not breaking the 170 on new questions. Right now Im just repeating old LSATs and its very frustrating... Did anyone else encounter this issue? Is it gonna be effective if I'm just keep printing out old tests that I've already done and do Blind Reviews?

I earned my highest score to date and thus far I have spent more time reviewing this test than any previous preptest.

What I want to encourage everyone to embrace is delayed celebration & deserved confidence. I had to prove to myself that this score was not lucky. I have seriously reviewed every question that I circled, even in sections where I was -0. I have also written my reflections on the comments sections of video explanations for specific questions. Why? Because we cannot rely on luck for our tests, we must rely on a solid grasp of the concepts.

In carefully reviewing each test, including our best ones, we must gain confidence from answering correctly based on our *processes*, not on whether our AC matches the right AC. This is what Blind Review has taught me.

So I delayed celebrating until my complete review & proved to myself that I deserve higher confidence in my LSAT skills. I have finally tasted the tiniest morsel of mastery, not because of the score that I received, but in proving to myself that I absolutely deserved that score.

I'm retaking the lsat in December, and my 7sage course is going to run out next week. I'd love some outside opinions while weighing my choice of study-aides. Why I wouldn't upgrade: I already have all of the PTs the upgrades provide; I have problem sets (by question type) to work on; and I have explanations for every test, which granted aren't as thorough as JY's but are still helpful.

I need, at minimum, a 6 point improvement to reach my target. Is it worth it to upgrade to premium or ultimate? If I don't upgrade, I'll just buy a few tests to allow me to access the forum and basic syllabus for these next two months.

I am curious to see if there is any other active duty military on here. If so, I would like to stay in touch - perhaps build a community to share lessons learned in this journey.

^ ^ bump bump

Does anyone have any general tips for improving speed? Aside from just taking a bunch of timed PTs, do you use any other methods?

I took the September exam, and walked out of the test center confused and flustered. It was challenging, but I couldn't really tell you how I did on it. I was in the mid 150s before the test, and I thought maybe if I had luck on my side I could reach 160 on the real thing. However, I don't think I did, so I'm retaking it in December.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about how I can improve to the mid to late 160s before then. My strongest section is the LG, and my weakest is the LR. I'm tempted to start my prep from the beginning and re learn all the concepts and strategies necessary to do well. But that feels like a waste of valuable time.

Anyone have any suggestions about how to prepare for December?

Thanks!!

Anyone having issues pulling up the videos since this morning ?

Okay.

I'm writing the December LSAT. Before I took 7sage, I would usually be between 145-150. I took 7sage, went through all the material, and took my first practice test this morning. I received a mark of 154. Which I'm not happy with.

My reading comp I received 19/26 and my Logic Games were 20/23, so you can see that I really really really struggled with Logical Reasoning.

My plan is to work hard to perfect both the Logic Games and the Reading Comprehension, and work through my Logical Reasoning to improve as much as I can. I'm going to try and do at least 2 prep tests a week, blind review, and correct all of my answers to make sure I understand them.

HOWEVER,

I feel as if I set myself up for failure a bit when I wrote this practice. Usually, I get up at 4 AM to go to the gym, but today, since I was writing it before work, I wrote from 4-7 AM. I gave myself about 20 minutes to wake up, had some water, and ate a small snack.

MOST of my incorrect answers (16) came from that first section. I feel as if I didn't accurately wake myself up enough, and I honestly felt myself letting the time get to me. I was constantly nervous and felt like I couldn't focus.

Does anyone have a similar problem? If you do, how do you deal with it? I feel like, if I got my timing down pat and took control of how nervousness got the better of me, I could do fairly well. I do need a lot more practice, but I feel like I'm on the right track.

Suggestions?

After being a long time lurker on TLS forums and more of an active member on 7sage, I wanted to try and bring one of the only positive things I could find on TLS to the 7sage forums. Although TLS is typically filled with a bunch egocentric individuals who likely inflate their test scores for "e-peen" status, there is one thing that I really enjoy, their LSAT Xmonth Xyear threads. I feel as if these threads are a major part of the community on their forums and wish we had something similar here. Some of their posts go on for over 300 pages of discussion. This not only allows the students to discuss their progress, but also provides an opportunity (assuming they are honest and willing to release their scores/breakdown) to get some honest feedback on how to improve. So this is my attempt to bring together the 7sage community.

Test date: Saturday December 6, 2014 at 8:30am

Materials:

1) 7sage (Obviously)

2) The LSAT Trainer (http://www.amazon.com/The-LSAT-Trainer-remarkable-self-driven/dp/0989081508/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412601262&sr=8-1&keywords=lsat+trainer)

3) Cambridge drilling sets (http://www.cambridgelsat.com/problem-sets/)

7sage is by far the best method for self-study. However, there are benefits to be gained from outsider material to supplement & further improve the lessons taught by 7sage.

How to drill:

Logic Games (Credit: taken from Dirigo's TLS post)

Make multiple copies of each game.

Do a game.

Watch the 7 Sage Explanation for that game.

Get a fresh copy of that game and do it again, incorporating what you learned.

Watch the video again if needed.

Move onto the next game and repeat the process.

Do the games you did again the next day and see if you remember how to set them up and solve them. If not, watch the video again.

It's a tedious process, but you're guaranteed to improve by drilling like this. Similar inferences can be made across all games and you are able to make them correctly and quickly the more experience you get.

Logical reasoning

Carve out a problem set (i.e: by type, # of questions, or individual sections)

Set timing according to # of questions/types

Answer all questions under timed conditions

BEFORE checking the answers, BR each question- must be able to provide full explanation for each wrong AC and why correct AC is correct

Check answers

Review any questions that you got wrong or circled as difficult/time consuming

Note: This post is a work in progress, if there is anything I overlooked or you would like me to add feel free to post it in the thread or inbox me.
