I am taking the September LSAT and have recently been hitting some extremely high scores, and my question is basically as it says on the tin, what can I do to ensure that these scores hold to test day? What sort of study methods should be used as regards maintenance and atrophy prevention?

After finishing the course syllabus I took my first timed lsat in months and scored in my target range with the BR much higher. Since then I have taken 3-4 more PTs and have fallen each time until the latest PT which is the lowest I've scored since before 7 sage. I am signed up to take the Sep test and was feeling very confident after my initial PT/BR but after these last few tests I'm feeling very discouraged and depressed at the lack of consistency/improvement. What do I do?!

I don't know about you guys, but I feel that the LSAT has taught me sooo much, knowledge that I would never have acquired without writing this test, from diverse fields such as literature, arts, science, etc. The best thing though, is that I actually retain these information, most likely due to the fact that I have to actively think about and reflect upon the information I read, and as a result my head retains it, as opposed to boring school stuff that I quickly forget because my brain was not actively processing them or simply trying to remember without thinking.

But of course the validity and truthfulness of the information presented in LSAT is a necessary assumption in order for my claim to be made. Imagine if all the stuff are just made up, how embarrassing would it be when I try to show off my knowledge in front of my friends :p

: )

Especially the dreadmaster's course books I paid a G for. Gonna make a nice, big, fire.

Hey everybody! 180 Watch is backordering until Oct, and I need a watch for Sept 27.

1. Are you selling your 180 watch? Please let me know melina.debona@gmail.com ASAP. I'm willing to pay full price.

2. Also, opinions? https://lsatmax.com/watch/

Probably the majority of us seeing this discussion forum have not taken the LSAT before, but, do you have any special advice, experience, do's and don´ts that you would like to share regarding LSAT test day?

Has anyone taken free mock lsats at a university? Did they use an approved practice test? Did you find the experience useful?

I just purchased the Premium version of 7sage and received an e-mail confirming that my card had been charged, however I do not have access to the premium tools, only the free version that the website thinks I am enrolled in. It keeps telling me to upgrade. Can anyone help me out? Seems that this has happened to other people before.

Looking at all my practice test, this is where I have the most trouble at.

That's a lie.

For anyone who is struggling with logic games and feels like they'll just never get it -- stick with it. It's going to be painful for a little while, a few days, maybe even a week or two, but if you go through the fire, eventually you'll wake up on morning and realize the games get easier and easier.

I am currently scoring 159 consistently and have not been able to break 160. There are less than four weeks for the September LSAT. I was hoping to get a 165, but not sure if that is possible.

Should I take the December LSAT? I am only hesitant because of how much work I have done (all while working), that any more and I will go crazy.

Hey guys! I know not everything works the same way for everybody (don't worry this is not going to be a LR question) but what has worked best for you in terms of brain warm up before taking a practice test?

Originally, I was set to take the LSAT for September, but I am just not feeling too confident.

My scores have been ranging from mid/high 150s to low 160s. The blind-review method has improved my LR sections substantially, but I am getting slaughtered in the LG and RC sections (I usually do not finish either section with the time constraint). I feel that with more time and practice I can also improve my LG and RC, but I am concerned with rescheduling to December. I am worried I may panic during the actual test and may need a "fall-back" test date. I am also concerned about how much it will affect my likelihood of being accepted due to the "rolling applications" process.

What do you guys recommend?

Exactly what the title says. If you fit the description, comment below and lets start talking details.

As it says on the box cover really, I'm mostly concerned regarding the endurance difference that comes from taking a 4 vs. 5 section LSAT. I've essentially been building up endurance using 4 sections up till now, with the intent of switching to 5 section LSATs from here on. What kind of score fluctuations and endurance differences should I expect?

Hi guys,

I'm registering for the LSAT, and saw there's a CRS portion.

how important is it to register for CRS?

Thanks!!

I know the September one is going to be at 8h30am, but I have school, and I have the whole afternoon free. I know I should be consistent but will it have any negative impacts other than not being able to get the benefits of consistency? I will still write other PT in the morning on the weekends whenever I can.

Hello everyone!

I'm curious the order you watch the videos.

I prefer to watch all Reading comp, then all Logic Reasoning, and finally all logic game(also review LR)

I absorbed in the material better this way, or I might forget previous lessons(or cannot be skillful for some techniques, esp. LG)

Does anyone prefer to follow the "Study Schedule", watching RC, LR, LG, then finishing them all almost at the same time?

Besides, does anyone watch the Coursera "Think again: how to Reason and Argue"

Does it help LR?

Since I'm prepared for the Feb. 2015 LSAT, I have time to follow this course, but not sure if it is worth watching.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi all,

I'm taking in September and as D-Day rapidly approches I am PTing pretty often. I take the tests under timed conditions, with the proctor and early in the morning (sine the Sep exam is at 8:30 am). I'm sitting happily on a 170 average but have had one spike score, a 176, and one drop score, a 164. What can these outlier scores be attributed to? How do you manage them mentally? Does anyone know if similar spikes and drops happen on test day.

I plan on attending law school either in the Spring or Fall of 2015; should I visit law schools before or after taking the LSAT?

Hey guys,

I just took my first cold diagnostic test (June 2007) and I got a 152. I know that puts me at around ~52 percentile right now... My goal is a 170+. How many points do people generally jump before and after taking the 7Sage course? Of course I know this differs for everyone but my question is, how realistic is it to jump 20 points if I want to take the Feb 2015 exam?

This is my breakdown for the points I missed:

S1 LG -10

S2 LR -10

S3 LR -10

S4 RC -7

Any suggestions/tips are welcome!

Thanks,

Alice

Hey guys,

I am new to this discussion (and the LSATs). I just started studying on my own last week (read half of an old PowerScore Logic Games Bible) but I haven't taken a cold diagnostic test yet. I was planning to take a Test Masters prep course that'll start in late Sept but after reading some discussion blogs and comments, it seems like self-studying might be more effective and useful (with the right materials)? I've also read a chapter of Mike Kim's The LSAT Trainer.

Currently I have the following:

10 New Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests with Comparative Reading: (PrepTests 52-61)

The LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim

2006 or 2007 PowerScore Logic Games Bible

What else should I buy? Which materials should I start with? Would you guys recommend finishing the LSAT Trainer on my own first before taking a 7Sage course?

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Alice

I signed up to re-take the LSAT in September and apply this year for Fall 2015 admittance. I'm almost done with the 7sage course, but I haven't started taking the practice tests yet. I really want to be positive that I do my absolute best, so I'm thinking of moving my LSAT date to December. However, last year ours was rescheduled due to ice/inclement weather, and we took the test two weeks later. I think the score release was at the same time as the other December test takers. Should I risk taking the December LSAT to enter law school in Fall 2015, even with the slight possibility of winter weather affecting the test date? I really want a good scholarship and to get into the school of my choice.

What are your thoughts on the order of the syllabus? Here is my thinking: For sure my biggest weakness is Logic Games. So, if i jumped out of order and covered the games earlier than listed on the syllabus, i could spend that much longer on the games concurrent to the other portions. If practice practice practice is the key to games, covering the basics early gives me that much more time to spend on them at lunch break, early in the morning, at any given possible moment. I know that there are key logic points to learn first but, i think i could probably get a benefit from starting earlier.
