Copying game boards used to stress me out a little bit because of the numbering. Every time I copied a game board (which could be 4 or 5 or even 8 times possibly?) I knew I needed to copy over the numbering (1 2 3 4 5 6 beneath the spaces), but found it very time consuming. My way around that is 1. using roman numerals instead of numbers. They are a lot quicker. 2. only marking slots 3 and 5. I borrowed this from the guitar fretboard, where only select frets are marked. You are told which is the 3rd and 5th fret, and from that it's plain to see which is the 2nd and 4th etc. This made copying game boards just a LITTLE bit faster, which made logic games just a LITTLE bit less stressful.

Efficiency 8-)

This might be a dumb question, but if you are blind reviewing do you time yourself when you are redoing questions? Also, are you erasing/making a copy of questions so that your previous work is not there? Finally, do you blind review entire tests sometimes? or are you are only to BR the questions you marked, got wrong,etc?

Thank you in advance for the assistance :D

Hi all,

Aidin Again, I have been studying LSAT using 7sage for few months now and I have noticed many comments regarding HOW to use this website. Do you take notes when the lessons are being taught? Which pages should you print out and which ones just go over on the screen? What information between hundreds of hours of video is note worthy? How do you access the big picture spider web looking master chart J.Y. always pulls out that no one gets access to ? If anybody has a good idea about what is the most effective way to use all this useful material to our advantage without being confused please SHARE!

I've completed all of the coursework and having been taking my prep tests consistently for the past 8 weeks along with Blind Review, but it seems I have hit a peak. I have been consistently scoring in the 158-162 range (with blind review at 170), but I can't seem to take that next step. Any suggestions?

There's no particular question type that I struggle with, and on average I'm missing the same amount of questions on each section of each prep test. RC is my main weakness.

Hi all, just hoping for some of your opinions. I have lots of preptests already (all up to #62) and I am wondering if these are enough to practise off or should I ignore these and purchase "newer" tests? Theres not a lot of time left before June and I would like to study as effectively as possible and I can't do all of them, at most I think I could do 10-12.

What are you doing?

=D THANKS

Just wondering guys do you take notes, as you go along the lessons, or do you just solely concentrate on lesson itself and if needed just re-read/-re-watch it?

Sooo I'm writing the June LSAT here in just over 3 weeks. Prep has been going well enough for my aims (164) or so. For the past few weeks I was writing LR getting 3-5 questions wrong under timed conditions. This was okay for me as my reading comp and logic games as stronger scoring anyway. But for the last 3 prep tests under timed conditions I have scored 17-19 on the logic games everytime. I've been able to stay in the 160s (barley). But that's thanks to some great scores in the other 2 sections, scores I'm not sure I can count on on test day. So now what do I do, I almost feel like I'm over thinking LR at this point and starting to psyche myself out. Not good. Any tips would be great.

...is my theme song for this test. To me, it represents the struggle to achieve a difficult goal.

The main theme permeates the whole piece (ya know, dun dun dun DUUUUN..... dun dun dun DUUUUUUN).

The piece seems to travel between two emotional climates. On one hand, a dark cloud of confusion and pessimism, and on the other hand, clarity and optimism.

That mirrors my experience in preparing for this test so well, that I have been listening to it over and over again. It reminds me that even in my moments of despair or confusion, there will eventually be an ensuing revelation, or a 'light at the end of the tunnel.'

As the piece goes on, the lows get lower and the highs get higher, until the piece ends in a magnificent triumph over obstacle. It really helps me put my moments of self-doubt in context.

I am using this piece to trigger the habit that my brain craves, to get me in the right mind set for the test by repetitively associating my LSAT journey with the 5th. I am going to listen to it as the last thing I do before the test as a warm-up.

Does anyone else have some sort of music that they go to for inspiration or courage?

Here's a link to Dudamel conducting the first movement of the 5th:

Hi everyone!

How do you guys approach Reading Comprehension and what improvements have you seen on that section? Last month I did well on it, scoring 24/27 a couple times in a timed full test. Last 2 or 3 times I did a full 4 or 5 section timed test, I scored -8 or -9 on RC, which is bad enough. But just now, I did 2 timed readings (cause I fell asleep in the middle of the reading the third passage), and I got like 3/7 on each LOL. WTF is happening?! I know being tired is a factor, but I was fully awake during the first passage I read, and then the third one about osmoregulation killed me. help :(

I am having a hard time finding out exactly what room my test is going to be administered in. I'd really like to try to take some prep tests in the room before the test date, so it's kind of stressin' me out. Can anyone help me out?

FYI I'm taking it at U of Toronto St George campus. Test centre 0980

I am registered for the June LSAT. In the past few weeks (as the date approaches), I have held onto the possibility of putting the exam off until September just in case I didn't feel prepared for the June date. However, it then dawned on me that putting it off until September is not a possibility, because I have done every prep test available except for 66-71. I have just enough time (I hope) to squeeze in these 6 prep tests before the test, but I think if I put off the test til September, I'll actually harm my chances at a good score...

To me, stretching 6 tests out over 3 months would be too little practice to be useful.

It seems, then, that I'm locked into this June date whether I feel ready enough or not.

No turning back.

Anyone have a similar experience or perspective?

On the flip side, does anyone think that putting it off until September, given my situation, could be helpful? If I did, that would mean one prep test every 2 weeks.

It is very hard to talk to friends or family about this test. I think only those who are actually preparing or the test can understand how hard it is and how emotionally draining it can be so I thank you all for understanding. I have decided to postpone taking the LSAT in June and taking the September/October. This time I will prep with a 7sage tutor, (maybe he or she can identify mistakes that I don't see) and read more as reading comp is my worst enemy. There were a lot of you who have messaged me when you could've used that time to study. I just want to say I really appreciate you all

Hey Guys!

You guys have been super helpful so far.

I feel like i’m burning out!! I’m 4 -6 points away from my goal score, i just need to tune up my LR and RC section…

What are some tips on how to regain the brain power? Not sure whats going on, i royally bombed PT68 today and it was over a mixture of STUPID mistakes and fell for probably EVERY trick the LSAT had to offer me, especially in LR.

I’m thinking about taking a day off.. but on that day, can i read a lot of articles from the economist? or should i just not even touch a book?

Hi Everyone, I have been studying For the LSAT for the past few months and am not where I want to be (score wise, High 140, Low 150). I Just graduated Last year and Don't have other material or courses to study but this. Knowing that the score that I will get the FIRST time around ( I don't want to take it, get a bad score and then retake) will really be the most important aspect in this test, what are you guy's advice on when to take it. I have done a quite amount of research and it seems that the June test considering how late in the day it's offered, giving you more time to prepare letters and statements and also giving you the chance to apply early is the best choice. Following the June test, September seems to be the next best choice, For it still gives you time to apply given that every other part of your applications are ready and be considered "early" and that give you time during summer to study (less time to enjoy summer) but is offered in the morning ( which is a downside for me). Please advice me on how much I'll be missing out if I postpone my test to september instead of the June test coming up. Thank you, looking forward to hearing all different ways of thinking about this situation and really appreciate anyone's point of view.

Does anyone remember which game Ping drew a star to indicate the shared rules between each entity? I would like to review all abnormal game types before the June test and was wondering which PT that game is from. Also I would love if anyone would share any game they feel is different than the cookie cutter games we are used to, we can all be better prepared if the LSAT can't throw us any curve ball games, like the Feb circular sequence game.

Hi there,

is there anyone prepping for October LSAT in Daegu, Korea?

I'm flying back to home in early June.

My PTs range in 160s.

I would be more than happy to have a dedicated study buddy(s) who would PT/review,Q&A and etc.

I am looking forward to hearing back!

Subject says it all. I am hypersensitive to noting that several events occurring together is always correlative (yet often mistakenly construed by authors as causal), but I am wondering whether this will ever come back to haunt me.

I suppose that more specifically, I am referring to flaw questions. Tangibly, I want to make sure that whenever two (or more) phenomena are said to occur, and an author draws a conclusion based on those phenomena somehow being associated, I can be sure that this is a mistake because it is concluding causality based on events that haven't been shown to necessarily be causally connected.

Is it ever the case that when two (or more) events are said to have occurred in a premise that they are, in fact, necessarily causally connected, and so any conclusion that assumes such is fine? This would mean that the flaw lies elsewhere.

Thanks in advance.
