I confidently blew through almost all of my study materials in preparation for the September test, not anticipating that I would need to rewrite. I was scoring in the high 170s on my PTs, so what could go wrong, right? Well, a HUGE stress-induced bubbling error could (and did). I cancelled my score and will be re-writing in December.

After taking a week off from studying, I want to get back into the swing of things. The problem is that I have just one clean PT: I took PTs 35 - 72 as full-length exams, did the games from every test, and used up the LR and RC from about half of the early tests. The one exception is PT 68, which I accidentally skipped over.

Does anyone have any advice about how to study in the absence of clean PTs? Is drilling with blind review my best bet? Should I review old PTs? Anything?

Hey I'm new to 7sage and the LSAT. I was wondering while going through the syllabus, if you follow the study schedule should you not move forward in the syllabus if you've completed the material for that week and take the time to practice the material covered during that week, or is it better to continue on with the material and do timed sections when you've covered the material in entirety?

I doubt I will have time to take all the prep tests before my December LSAT. Does anyone have certain tests that they found particularly challenging that they recommend be taken for sure?

Thanks,

James

Hello everyone!!! I am currently studying to take the LSAT both in December and February. I am looking to start a study group in the Miami area! So if anyone is interested email me at laura.rodr29@gmail.com!!

Hey guys, I'm currently in the latter stages of the 7sage course and I'm getting ready to start taking practice tests regularly in preparation for either the December or February LSAT. Up until this point, I've only taken a few practice tests intermittently throughout the course. My first question is, how do you guys go about choosing which practice tests to use and which to drill individual sections with? I was thinking about purchasing the Cambridge Logical Reasoning Question Sets, which use problems from LSATs 1-38 for drilling logical reasoning. I would then take the remainder of the practice tests as simulated LSATs in chronological order. That would leave me with hopefully more than enough preptests to review with. If I use the earlier tests (1-38) exclusively for drilling, though, I obviously lose some of the benefit of taking them as simulated LSATs should I ever choose to.

My other question is: how relevant are the problem sets on the older LSATs in respect to the modern tests? I am wondering if exclusively drilling problem sets from old LSATs might cause me to miss out on recent changes. I also have heard that some of the logic games on the older tests are quite different from the ones used today, and may not be worth drilling.

Hi 7Sage Admins,

For PT46 passage 2, only a picture of the video is displayed. I tried several times to refresh the page, and still couldn't view the video. Can you please help me to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Seriously takes me 10 minutes no matter what. I watch the video explanation and can do it in like 5, but every new PT just kills me. Always turns out I miss 1 or 2 per section of LR, around 5 on RC, and bloody 8 or so on LG because I can't finish. And tips for speed other than just drill?

I went through the first 2 things on the course syllabus for grammar already, when should i attach a PT for some baseline stuff? and what PT should i do?

I am working on my personal statement and I need someone to read it and tell me if I need to take somethings out or add additional info to it. Overall give me feedback. I would really appreciate it if any one would be kind enough to do so. I can email it to you if you are willing. Please let me know. Thank you!

Greetings Fellow 7-Sagers...

I know there's recently been a few "should I / shouldn't I" discussion threads on whether or not to cancel a score. Having just taken the LSAT yesterday (in Korea), I now face the same dilemma.

Complicating my choice... today I was just informed by a colleague at work that even though you cancel your score, LSAC still scores your exam and... AND law schools can still see your "cancelled" score.

Is this true ??? WTF ?! Do law schools have access to your cancelled score ? Then what's the point of cancelling ?

Additionally, she tells me that some law schools will ask for a written reason why you cancelled.

Can anyone confirm this ?

Help me Obi-JY, you're our only hope.

This may sound bizarre, but I have such a hard time choosing the answer choice A. It doesn't matter what section I'm working on--I find myself being much more discriminating against A over the other answer choices. Does anyone else have this issue? Or am I slowly going insane?

I notice that 7sage goes from PT 36 to the 70s.

I've been told that PTs are valuable and you shouldn't spoil them.

Should I go out and purchase 1-35 and go through those b4 I get to pt36?

I know the scores won't be released until the 22nd, but I still check the site daily. The other night I dreamed that I got a 170. Then I woke up, drank a glass of water, and dreamed I got a 155. This whole waiting 3 weeks thing is just way too much for a person to handle...

Looking to form a group of serious LSATers in NYC. Please post your email info if you're interested in group PTs on weekends in preparation for the December (or Feb) LSAT. Also please feel free to suggest locations. In a previous post we were discussing room reservations at NYPL; there are also open public spaces in midtown. Looking forward to destroying the LSAT together!

EDIT: Email not needed. Just realized that we can have group conversations on this site. So just post that you're interested and I will add you to the conversation.

Hello,

I dont know if any of you have any advice on this but I would be very helpful for some imput. I signed up for this course a few months back and I love how JY explains everything in depth and detail. It really makes me feel more confident in performing better on the LSAT. Anyway, my boss found out I was taking an online course and offered to pay for me to take an in-person class (Testmasters) since she thought it would better prepare me for the exam. I didn't want to seem ungrateful so I let her pay and enrolled in the Testmasters course for the December LSAT.

I just went to the course yesterday but everything seemed too fastpaced but there were a couple good tips too. I dont think I will feel ready for the December LSAT since JY explained that it usually takes a year to really understand the principles for the LSAT but I don't know if doing both courses would be detrimental to my learning. For example, they introduced a logic game yesterday and since I havent got to that part of the course on 7sage I was completely lost-so I went back today and started the logic games section in 7sage.

I don't want to just stop going to the Testmasters course because I think that it could still help me in some ways but I like 7sage better. Should I stick to both and get more in depth with 7sage after the Testmasters course ends or should I just stick to one?

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi-

Wondering whether the following is worth contacting LSAC about - even if it's just for due diligence.

There was a Rap music performance in the parking lot of my test center. The college usually hosts a relatively quiet trade fair. But that day it was a different event that had live rap performances. The supervisors apologized and said they didn't know this fair would have live music.

I could hear the music even after they shut the windows.

Does this warrant contacting LSAT - even if it's just to make them aware?

What do they do when they get complaints?

I took the LSAT on September 27th. I do not feel like I did well. My guess score would be somewhere between 140-145. I plan on studying and practicing more PT's, spending more time with blind reviews and taking the test again on December.Is it better for me to keep the score (even though I know i did not do well) or cancel the test score and just focus on doing better in December. I have been told before that Law schools usually look at the higher score when making decision on an application. Is that true?

With only one day left to decide if I want to keep my score, I feel torn inside!

Any advice and comments will be much appreciated!

Thank you

Okay.

I have finished 100% of the material (yay).

I was wondering what other people have done at this point? I've decided to wait until Monday morning to write my first practice LSAT test, and take tonight, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to review all of the Practice Tests in all of the sections, and work through some of the harder Logic Games that I didn't completely understand.

Did anyone do anything similar? I want a refresher before I dive right into the practice. :)

I have a question. I am new to 7Sage. I am used to books. I am used to crossing off wrong answers. I am used to taking notes as I read. There are no traditional books for 7Sage. Does anyone on here find it easier or harder or anything? I am thinking of just printing off as much of the material as possible. Any feedback on the lack of books would be appreciated. Thank you.

Anyone have tips for writing personal statements ??

Can someone explain "blocking" the alternative hypothesis? I am doing the strengthen causation questions, I got them right and went back to make sure I understood why, even though I got them right, I wasnt 100% sure why. I am also not totally understanding what you mean by "blocking. " Please elaborate, clarify so I can understand. Thank you

I took the Feb 2014 exam. I am studying again for the LSAT. I am wondering if you have a teaching of a logic game that was similar to the one that threw us for a loop on the Feb 2014 exam....I know you dont have access to that, but it was something about a round table, maybe how people were positioned.....I definitely do not remember the details, I just recall it was something like that. Hoping there is now a lesson for questions that like.

I'm not a Saturday observer but I do play college basketball and we have a game the day of the dec lsat. What are the rules to not take a Saturday test? Could I possibly switch it to the Monday? I don't practice that religion but the only way I can take the lsat this winter is if it isn't on a Saturday. Wondering if you guys have any advice or experience with a situation like this.

So I took the June LSAT, by going through 7sage pretty quickly and the LSAT Bibles I got a 153.I took the test last weekend and am going to cancel my score due to proctor problems but was scoring around high 150's during PTs right before. I skimmed through 7 sage and mostly did practice tests and reviewed wrong answers.

So now I am registered for the December LSAT and kinda stuck on how to study for it. Should I go through 7sage again or the Bibles again or just really focus on my weak area of RC? I was planning on started 7sage from scratch and going through the whole thing but not sure if that is truly the best use of my time. Im usually missing -7 or -8 in each LG,and each of the LR and missing about -11 to -13 on RC.
