I'm surprised that no one has asked this.

Mr. Ping seems to be someone that just "gets" it from the very beginning. Maybe he wasn't superb at Logic Games when he started prepping, but would it be a fair for me to make the assumption that his LR and RC skills were already at a high level?

Now that I've bought the course and listened to dozens of his videos to the point where I hear his voice when doing LSAT questions (especially LG), I now suspect that Mr. Ping is a LSAT "natural".

What was your cold diagnostic score, Mr. Ping?

Do you guys ever wonder about the people writing the lsat? My image of them is that they sit around a big wooden table and think and every once in awhile someone will say, "Hey, get a load of this one," and they laugh and say, "Yeah, that'll throw 'em, let's do it."

I am taking the LSAT in September and really banking on getting a high score. Both semesters freshman year I received sub 3.0 GPA's (2.7 and 2.3), but ever since I have received above a 3.9 in much more difficult courses. Therefore, a high LSAT will further legitimize my progress from freshman year and show that my overall GPA is not truly reflective of me as a student, which is about 3.45 now. I have heard that you can send in an application early, and once you receive your LSAT score can quickly add it. Would it be detrimental to send my application early to some of my more prospective schools or should I wait to start the application process after I receive my score if I believe it will drastically improve my resume? Or will they see my GPA and have a weaker outlook towards me from the onset?

I suppose the title is self-explanatory, but I ran across a question in particular (LSAT 58, Section 4, Question 21) regarding lottery winners and television viewers. I ALMOST selected "D" but felt it was just too close to the conclusion to be the right answer. Essentially, I figured the answer choice was just restating the conclusion. As a result, I went with "B" even though I had reservations (this alone should have prevented me from selecting "B").

So down to it: will an Assumption Question answer choice ever feature a restating of the conclusion or premise? Or will the seemingly like sentence simply be a minute assumption that demands a more detailed eye? Hope this question makes sense, and I look forward to anyone's help!

With 34 days left (that's 5 full weeks before "LSAT Saturday") I wanted to ask what everyone's study habits and schedules look like in order to give the 7sage September LSAT community a feeling of belonging, in the sense that there's more than one person here who is routinely sleeping at X:o'clockPM, waking up at Y:o'clockAM, and taking Z amount of PTs a week. It's easy to feel discouraged as time winds down.

What time do folks sleep and wake up? How often are you taking PTs in a week? How many days are you resting? What else do you do when you aren't studying? And any other routines and habits regarding your LSAT study schedule will be much appreciated. Thanks :)

Hi,

I was wondering if any one had any suggestions or advice on when I should start worrying about RC timing. I have been doing practice passages for about two weeks and am still having a hard time with staying under the time limits of the memory method, however i am very accurate. Any suggestions on how I can improve?

Hi all,

First of all, thank you for reading this post. My question is whether or not doing paralegal would provide any clues to determining whether the field is "right" for you + any advantages for applying to law schools.

1) After graduating from undergrad, I've met some people who have worked as paralegals and consequently stopped pursuing legal career altogether because they found that it was "not for them." Are what paralegals experience/see from law firms really representative of the day-to-day lives of lawyers? If so, as far as your personal experiences goes, how much worse (more stressful) do you think the lives of paralegals/lawyers are than those of others'?

2) I have another friend, who just recently got a job as a paralegal. He told me the pay was decent and he said some firms provide LSAT classes for paralegals in addition to other resources that may assist them in applying to law schools (don't know the details...). Can working at law firms really give your application a boost, all things being equal?

3) Simply put, is doing paralegal before law school worth the time (I heard it was usually two-year contract)?

Thank you in advance, and good luck in your studies.

Hey, everyone,

I'm kind of at a crossroads with LSAT prep and potentially where I should go to law school. I'd love to know what you guys think!

First, my practice tests are going ok so far (mid-160's as of now) and I am currently signed up for the September LSAT. My goal is to get in the upper 160's on the real thing. I want to apply for law school starting next August/September as well. Should I try and switch my test date to the December LSAT to give myself more study time, or will that be too close to send applications?

Second, if I do well on the LSAT I'm a strong candidate to receive a full ride scholarship to a fourth-tier law school. Should I go where the money is, or is it worth taking on the debt and go for a higher ranked law school?

Thanks,

Nick

Hi guys!

During my practice tests I have noticed that when I have 6-7 minutes left (Around Q21) in the LR section I start to lose focus and having to reread the question stem for stressing over not finishing the questions on time, even though I know its possible for me to do so. Do you have any advice or specific technique you use?

Does anyone have the LSAT Ultimate? Did you find significant help from it, and did you see results in your scores?

Which one should I choose, if I had to choose one? I can only afford one....

The reason why I am upgrading is because I recently I took a really hard hit...I've been working on the most recent prep tests and my score, which was averaging around 168-170, dropped to 160-163...

One thing that I thought was really helpful about 7sage was listening to JY review the tests. When I take the actual tests, I can hear his voice in my head and it actually helps me go faster...

Is RC similar to LG and LR in regards to the more sections you do it the more you will notice similar questions and therefore be better prepared to answer. I am struggling with this section

Would it be possible to include the "starring" feature of the video lessons onto the video explanations for the PTs? That way, users could also filter their "starred" video explanations and review them rather than going through each PT and finding the question. If 7Sage could implement this, I think it would be a lot better. If other 7Sagers agree, please like and comment on this discussion post!

I know there is no way to predict this, but... anybody with a hunch that this is happening in the next September 27th LSAT?

if i "like" a comment, is that solely for Karma or can i search for those likes to review later?

thanks~

Will practicing the other Games aid in doing well in those random MISC Logic Games? Is there a technique to approaching them? I think it is the initial shock factor that stumps me.

7Sage categorized missed questions on all of the PT's the way that Quizlet categorizes 'missed questions'.

I made a spreadsheet to count the number of missed question types on each PT. It is sort of a hassle to jump back and forth between explanations, answers, papers, and the spreadsheet... but it has helped me recognize which topics I need to review more extensively. I would name my first child 'J.Y.' if 7Sage added something like this.

So, I finished the 7Sage course last week and took my first PT today. I was nervous and a bit panicky throughout the test. I got a 148, even after the course... has anyone else gotten this low even after taking the full course? Also, I took the course seriously and did not half-ass it...

I will be taking the real LSAT this December which leaves me with roughly 3.5 months to grind out more PTs. The law school I am trying to get into accepts on average scores of 158-162. I want to be able to reach 160 so I can be on the safe side. How likely is it for me to reach that goal in this time frame? I will be taking 12 hours of classes, with no job. You can be mean...I just want to know a straight up answer.

Since finishing the 7Sage course, I've been consistently scoring in the 170s. Over the course of 17 PTs, I've had a low of 169, a high of 178, and an average of 174.

The frustrating thing is that I didn't start out scoring 169 and advance to 178; rather, my score fluctuates wildly from one test to the next. This weekend, for instance, I got a 170 on Saturday and a 177 on Sunday.

Equally random is the distribution of my wrong answers. One day, I'll have trouble with an RC passage. The next, it's an LG game that trips me up. Sometimes, it's a bunch of LR questions that push my score down. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.

How have those of you scoring 170+ improved your consistency? Any tips from the pros?

Hello, Can anyone provide a list of games like this? The rules that are like "If G---B----> H----F" Or the other ones where it's an either/or thing like, "Either G---B/C or B/C----G" Or, "Either G----B---->H----F, but not otherwise" (bi conditional types). These games always make me screw up my boards and spend 15 minutes on the game. I need help!

I suppose this is more of an aesthetic problem, but on the main page, and also the analytics pages, I often find that the radio buttons are blocking my most recent scores. Specifically, on the home page, the Section "LSAT Analytics" graph has the top right corner blocked by a layer that says "Scaled, Raw, Percentile." Everything is still functional, but it is an annoyance. If that box were moved, or were a dropdown menu instead, that'd fix it.

Did anyone find this test particularly difficult?

Anyone got any? Aside from BR and perhaps a lot of drilling....

I'm discovering that BR and just simply getting used to the new question types helps me a lot. But I'm still far behind what I was scoring in the 30's and even 50's. On PT 59 I FINALLY broke 170 (almost cried) for the first time ever and then on PT 61 I had a 9 point drop! How discouraging :(. It's like finally reaching the top of a mountain and then finding out that there is still one more mountain to climb..with only 6 weeks left to reach the top (I know, my analogies aren't really original...)

Any help at all would be super appreciated! :)

Hey 7Sagers,

I'm doing 52-63 (I think?) PTs on my own with the book. I love that I can score it, but seems like I can't see the explanations here with the basic. Does anyone know which of the upgrades will include it, or do I have to shell out for the Ultimate?

I'm already burnt out. I don't want to have to shell out 600$+ again in 3 months if I want to keep studying for December...anyone has a clue, let me know.

Anyone else notice that the question whose video explanation you are viewing is no longer highlighted in the question numbers on the answer page for preptests? Makes it kind of annoying to go through question by question when doing your review of the preptest and you want to go question by question but don't necessarily remember the specific number of the question you are on. I know it still says the question number on the top of the page but it still is kind of annoying.

Hey all, as the test date nears I have realized that I am not on track with my PT's. I am considering skipping ahead a few PT's to get more comfortable with the more recent of LSAT's. I just finished PT 49 and with that being said, are there are particular LSAT's in the 50's that I should do? I am not going to skip all of 50-59 but I would like to get into the 60's by the end of next week; I write 3 PT's a week.

Hope I can get some insight!
