I am just getting into the LG bundle and would ideally like to complete it in three weeks. With my work schedule, I can devote six hours a day.

Is this realistic? Right now progress is slow as its all new but, my guess is that my average time per game will speed up as my skills grow. I can only manage one four-game section or perhaps two each day right now.

Will this likely get quicker? If I can learn the bundle in three weeks, I will remain on my schedule.

Many and Most

Can someone please explain if there is a logical difference between "many" and "most?" I remember reading or watching in one of the logic lesson videos that there is a difference between "too many" and "most" because the former is a subjective statement. For example: "There are 'too many' social programs in the USA..." would be a subjective statement because Obama might not think there are, whereas Rand Paul might think there are. It's a matter of perspective.

Does this also extend to "many?"

Does Many = some or most? Or neither?

My android tablet doesn't let the videos speed up and it's been pretty annoying because one of the best things about 7sage is bring able to speed up the videos! It's a new tablet so I'm not sure if it's a tablet specific issue, but does anyone have any troubleshooting tips? I've tried the 7sage app, on chrome, and the preloaded browser. Thanks in advance!

Bad Week: New Trend?

Hello you beautiful, beautiful people. So, I've had a wonderful month or so of consistently okay scores. Not where I want to be by June but 3-5 points shy.

I'm now experiencing a dramatic decline across all sections in accuracy and I am FUHREAKING out (e.g., missing 5 per LR section when I had up until last week been averaging minus 4 total for LR). Needless to say I've been pacing like a mad woman who has something to hide because JUNE is now less than 5 weeks away.

Any kind words and/or suggestions would be much appreciated. Kind of at a loss for what to do because my blind review score is still the same, just not in my PTs or drills of timed sections. Merp. Knope out.

Hello everyone! this is my first post, as I am about to start studying for the October LSAT. A lot of you mentioned that the Trainer and Cambridge Drilling Packets are very useful but I'm curious as to how you all incorporated that into your 7sage course? I'm thinking of purchasing them so let me know!

Thanks!

Hi All,

This is my first post here. I have a master's degree and have worked in a professional position for about six years (I'm freshly 31). I haven't taken a university course since 2008, and so I have a big span of time where I've no longer been a student. However, I have kept in contact with a few profs from undergrad and grad school.

My question is - how does someone like me handle letters of recommendation? I currently have the best boss that I've ever had, but I'm hesitant to a) reveal to this person that I'm working on exiting my current career path in 2016 and b) ask for a LOR, in light of the person losing me as an employee.

Is it better to just request LORs from previous professors? I have a few who would be willing, but it just seems odd to request a letter from a prof who oversaw my student work in 2006...Unfortunately, I have a history of "challenging" bosses, and so my current boss is the only one I feel would be relatively appropriate for a LOR.

Worst case...would a LOR from a colleague or direct report suffice? Kind of sounds odd...but I'm throwing it out there.

Please help!

Thank you

Hi everyone, so I'm taking the test in October and I'm currently averaging 167 with BR at 173. While I do have a solid amount of time to study before the test, I'm feeling frustrated over a few things. Any advice on how to fix out some (all, any!) of my current problems would be *immensely* appreciated (thanks to all for your help/support thus far!) So here are my questions:

1. How do I increase my BR score?? What keeps happening is that I second-guess myself on questions I originally got right in LR and then get 2-4 questions wrong in BR (hence the 173).

2. I've scored 167 the last 4 PTs and I don't know how I can analyze my results better in order to address my problems. I usually get between -6 and -4 wrong in LR and between -4 and -1 in RC.

3. Most importantly, where do I go from here? What should I focus on? I've been taking 1PT a week and BRing thoroughly, but should I postpone taking any more PTs and focus on drilling RC and problem question types for LR or is BRing more important? As of last week I've been writing down explanations for every answer choice for every question in LR and RC, so maybe that's the way to go?

PDFs

So I just missed being able to get the PDF files without DRM by a few days! I want to be able to practice them over and over, as recommended, but photocopying out of the book is just a major pain in the rear (yes I realize I only need to do it once for each test - still a pain). Is there a source for the PDFs, even if they have DRM? If I can print it once I'm golden.

The course and LG coverage

Hi All...

Looking at the syllabus, I'm wondering if all the different types of logic games are covered by the course? I bought the lowest level primarily for LG coverage (although I intend to use all of it). I see that all the LGs are explained on the free section of the site but I'm wondering if the course covered how to break down all the different types?

I ask because in one of the videos the instructor said that there are about six types, and I see the Kaplan books I have (on loan from a friend) seems to talk about a bunch of types... Linear, in-out, whatever...

Practice Tests

I started out my prep with the LSAT Trainer, and have done two timed prep tests (one diagnostic and one after a few weeks of study). I just signed up for the 7Sage course, and I am wondering if anyone has any advice on whether I should focus on finishing the 7Sage course entirely before taking any more PTs?

I just finished the invalid/valid argument form lessons. I just trying to put the pieces together but it is not working for me. How does this tie to the Logical Reasoning and Logic Games? is it only for MBT questions? I have all the cheat sheets next to me for reference but I still don't see how is going to help me. If you guys don't help me, I won't get a 165. /H -------> /165. Thank you family.

Averaging LSAT Scores

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could provide some information on how schools take multiple LSAT scores into consideration. Say I take 2 tests: what I've heard in the past is that most schools will take the higher of the 2, but that the top 14 schools will average the 2, unless there is a +/- 6 point difference between the 2 (in which case they will take the higher). Does anyone know if there is any truth to that? Thanks in advance!

Hi All...

New here, and hoping to take the LSAT in June, with just 5 weeks t prepare. Crazy, if I don;t PT with an acceptable score I'll delay until October, which of course means no law school this year.

Anyhow, to give myself the most study time possible I need to make these videos run on my Android tablet. When I try I just get a big black square and nothing resembling video. Does anyone else having it running on an Android tablet? The tabled is a B&N Nook running Cyonagenmod.

Thanks!

Just beginning!

Hi Everyone,

I'm just beginning to study for the LSAT. I'm a long ways away from actually taking the exam and suspect my actual date would be no sooner than 2016. However, I wanted to get started by aligning myself with some strategies/technique before I even begin to touch the prep tests. (Because of you, I understand not to go near them yet!!)

I am going to pick up some books but wanted to gain some feedback from you guys first. I would like to follow a schedule similar to PowerScore's 4 month program. I may add a month or two to the program in order to spread out the time and avoid burn out. I would like to use PowerScore's LG Bible and PowerScore's LR Bible. Based on your reviews, I would like to use Manhattan's RC Prep to fill that piece.

What are your thoughts about this combination? Are there any supplements I should add to this list of material? Once I finish this self-study program, I anticipate increasing my intensity through the three-phase cycle recommended by 7Sage. (Accuracy, Time, Endurance) Please let me know your thoughts! And thank you for all the feedback.

Best,

TM

Hi so today's test was higher than last week's timed. I'm a bit bummed bc I missed br on a logic game ( 6 points )I thought I rocked .

My BR was only 10 pts higher on ones I circled. so I'm missing some basics. Today scored 154.

My goal is 160 in 6 weeks. Is that feasible ? I reviewed video and Manhattan for LR n comp. Also, I note several ones I missed I either misread or changed my answer during timed portion/ not br. Anything I should pay attention to?

Logic games are still my worse but it was june 2009 dinosaur game so I still have hope.

All suggestions are encouraged.

T's Progress Journal

Hey 7Sage!

I am very excited to finally get started on my journey towards law school.

A little information about myself. Im starting 3rd year in September at a University in B.C., Canada and I'm double majoring in Finance and International Business. I thought I would post all of my results from the prep tests and problem sets as I go through so that future students could have something to compare too as I see many people asking questions about their baseline etc. Also if any current students have any advice or thoughts please share!

Cheers

To those scoring high in RC

Do you read for specific details? Or do you just vaguely remember where details they are? I'm trying to cut down on my time in RC, but I'm having a problem quickly locating detail questions. How do you do it? For me, I can read a passage and understand the main point, the relationships between the paragraphs, and the author's attitude, but I take too much time on detail-oriented questions. It's either I look at a passage broadly, or in detail, but not both.

Thanks.

I just started scoring in the low 170s and noticed that I'm averaging a bit over 5:00 minutes left per section after having gone through all of the questions. This, of course, allows me to check over answers and even get a few right that I would not have otherwise. As exciting as this is for me, I'd like to know if this is something I can expect.

I have been a registered premium member of 7sage since Jan 2015. I raised the question if 7sage would remove all PDF files from the lectures (http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/14447) in light of the policy change dated Apr 6, 2015 (you can search my username in the post). However, later on, due to work, I didn't get a chance to log into 7sage until today. Consequently, I missed to download all possible PDF files, posted on Apr 8, 2015, which are no longer available up to today when I just logged in and checked. I wasn't notify by 7sage at all that they had posted all PDFs that is available for downloading. The lectures without proper reference of the real & printable LSAT questions are useless, while the price for the preparation course remains as if the proper preparation materials are still being present.

I am pretty sure this would not be a problem for myself, and there are other users possibly experiencing the same. I was wondering if there are any other ways that could help solve the problem in an efficient way (other than purchase each of past LSAT tests for the questions that are referenced in the 7sage lectures).
