I am just coming to the end of the core curriculum and plan to throughly do the following before heading to PTs:

- Complete the logic games bundle (I am sure this will take far longer than the 48 hours quoted!)

- Do the core curriculum one more time. I believe this second sweep will solidify mainly points of confusion

- Get through The Trainer

My plan is to complete all of this before July and then spent 3 months drilling PTs ready for the October test (or possibly December if I feel I need to push it back).

Does this sound sensible, in terms of allowing three full months for PTs? I am in a slightly better position than most as I run a business from home that only takes about 3 hours of work a day, so I can easily dedicate 7/8/9 hours daily to the LSAT.

Amy advice would be great!

I was picking between B and D. I had no idea it could be C. And I really don't even know which argument form to put this in so please help! Thanks!

I have been receiving a lot of emails from The Council on Legal Education Opportunity, Inc. (CLEO) and I wanted to know if anyone on here participated in this? If so, how was your experience and was it worth it?

Does anybody know how much of these were used in the core curriculum? Also, if it was not a lot, where is a good source to purchase them from?

I wanted to share this post with those that will be starting law school in the fall and also for those in the future.... A lot of good advice on this post. Also, thanks to @"Nilesh S" for sharing with me.

is the site running super slow for anyone else? takes forever for the videos to load since the 21st....

@gqalvi3 I'm reposting this under the "Technical Problems" forum.

I'm also experiencing the same issue...wonder what the problem might be? I'm pretty sure I'm using the updated Chrome browser with the latest version of Adobe Flash...

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone here has already started the laws school prep? If so, what does it encompass exactly? Does it go in-depth with 1L courses? And how will it help?

Hi everyone,

I posted a while back about how I was feeling down and wasn't motivated to do LSAT work. It got better for a couple of weeks but then it got way worse. It's a long story but I'm on the road to recovery. Anyway, I have been out of the loop on all LSAT prep for another few weeks trying to focus on getting my mind in the right place. But now I've been feeling like I'm ready to slowly ease myself back in. I've already accepted the fact that I think I will have to push back to December and may even have to push back law school another year (which I really don't want to do). However, I feel like I need a good review before delving semi-randomly into a question type. I have a decent base of knowledge from being a retaker but this time I've been working through the Ultimate course and I have The Trainer, Manhattan LR guide, and the PowerScore Bibles. I'm thinking it will just be more efficient to just review using my various materials and notes. But there's a part of me that thinks it would be better to just start over. Any thoughts?

I'm looking for a study buddy. I'm strong in LG, weak in RC, and average in LR. My LG ranges -0/-2 and RC is about -6 and worse on the new PTs. i have an lsat score in mid 160s. Someone interested in analyzing the questions, particularly those where the credited answer can be challenging to justify to oneself, can be a fit. If interested, please message me and we can skype.

Thank you so much 7sage for all of your LSAT prep! Thanks to you (and a hell of a whole lot of determination) I just received my first law school acceptance email after having just sent in my application 3 days ago! I swear that has to be a record or something. When I first received my February LSAT score, I was so depressed because it wasn't at all what I was expecting. I went to visit my pre-law advisor soon after having received my LSAT score to discuss it with her. After having told her my score and my cumulative GPA, she told me that I wouldn’t get into law school and that I should pick another career goal. Also, she told me that the LSAT score is a strong indicator of whether or not I will be a good lawyer in the future. In conclusion, she stated that I should go to graduate school instead and study public advocacy. By a matter of fact, she told me that I didn't need to go to graduate school; I could easily find a job in public advocacy without a Master's. I was even more depressed. My mother and I went to her boss to file a complaint about her employee. The boss and her colleague were just as condescending as she was! They told me that I shouldn't apply to law school for this fall and to wait until next year. They said that law school was a "number's game" and no one would accept me- even with my amazing writing skills. I told them "No" and that I would apply for this fall. (You should've seen their faces when my mother told them that her score was even lower than mine and that even she got into law school- priceless.) And now, thanks to my determination, I just received my first law school acceptance email! I can't wait to collect all of those acceptance letters to shove in that "advisor's" face. Never let anyone put you guys down! We are the future lawyers and we will make it! If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!

Please could you share your advice related to law school choices? I most likely want to work in SoCal after graduation and am accepted at UC Irvine, but because of rankings should I go with WashULaw in St. Louis instead? Personally I'm really impressed with Irvine going straight in at #30 and I love the feel of the place and community.

Also, I'm wait listed for Northwestern's accelerated JD program. Should I hold out as long as possible in case a slot opens up?

Thoughts?? -- Many thanks!

Where can I find the schedule for the blind review groups? I'd love to join if my schedule permits!

Hi All-

Shot in the dark...

Does anyone know of a "7Sage" type of online resource for learning to Code?

I used LSAT classes and books and even another online course before finding 7Sage and nothing has been better for learning the LSAT. I'm now trying to learn to Code, so as a shot in the dark, does anyone know of anything close to 7sage for coding?

Hi all!

I desperately need your help! I planned for the February test, procrastinated and postponed it to June. After the winter break, I've decided to take LSAT really seriously and finished the core lessons with 7Sage. Now I have been through more than 10 pts but don't see anything above 161, though my highest br score is 174.

My final goal is at least to break 165.

I am not sure if I am ready to take the June test. But I don't think I should postpone again because I have studied for several months. Another three or four months may lead to burnt out, besides my internship starts in July.

However, I am graduating this May from grad school, lots of things going on before graduation. I doubt I will have enough time to score 170s consistently to feel ready for the June test.

Any suggestions/thoughts? Shall I take the June test anyway? Maybe cancel the score if I performed badly?

Thanks for your time!

Hey, curious as to what will be going on with 7sage with these changes... @"Dillon A. Wright" @"J.Y. Ping"

I've been trying to improve the RC section for the last 4 months with little luck. I've tried a few notable methods, but I'm still consistently picking incorrect answer choices in every passage. I do pretty well on LG and LR however so I've been thinking of just allocating the time I'd use on the fourth passage to making sure the first three are perfect. Do you guys think this is a good idea?

I'm not sure what else I can do with RC. Thanks.

Hi!

I'm looking for a study buddy/ group for June 2014. I would like to meet 1-2 times a week to review PTs and go over problems, or review 7Sage material.

I'm looking for an online study buddy because I live in rural Washington state, and I haven't had any luck with finding local people to study with.

PM me! And perhaps we can meet soon to talk about a study plan.

Thanks!

Amanda

Hello,

I wanted to invite 7Sagers to this weekend's group BR session. Please take the full test - BR individually - and prepare for the awesomeness that is group BR! (Or do your best to do all those things. You are always welcome to listen - or provide input if you didn't have time to BR everything).

I, as a June test taker, want to get started on the 50s/60s as the date is coming up quick! But I know that October or later folks may feel differently. So it may be time to split into groups. :,( If you Octobers don't mind skipping around and want to do 54, then please join! Otherwise, post below and we can figure out what to do.

Please send @emli1000 your Skype IDs, if you haven't already, so she can add you to the group. She has mastered Skype much better than I have.

I am planning on taking the September LSAT this fall. I had been considering possibly upgrading from LSAT Premium to LSAT Ultimate down the road for access to more video explanations and practice problems. I was going to wait until I finished the problems I have access too now. However, with the new restrictions, this will no longer be an option since the PDFs are disappearing on April 21st. Should I upgrade my course now simply for access to those precious PDFs, practice problems, and LSAT tests?

I would like to know if there is a way to download the LSAT Prep-Test 1 through 35 on 7sage. Please I really wanna know this as the clock continues to tick for the April 21st deadline.

Hey guys i'm trying to be a realist. I'm aiming for a 160 on the LSAT in June. I started out with a low diagnostic, 142. Since then I've improved about 10 points. it's been about 4 weeks, now I'm seeing PT's between 150-153. Is the jump from 150- 160 harder to attain? I've heard it takes a lot of hard work and months to go from 160-170. I am currently studying about 10 hours a week, then when school ends in mid-may I'm taking an in-class course through Nathan Fox LSAT. I will be able to commit around 25 hours a week a month before the June LSAT. Any tips/thoughts/advice/estimations/theories?

Hello all! I hope your weekend is going well and you are given the time you need to focus on studying for the LSAT!

I was wondering if there was anyway to see the videos, even though I check the box that says "Do not save answers." As I mentioned in another thread, I haven't been able to finish PTs, so I do a lot of sections w/o completing exams. For example, 2 LR, 2 RC, next day 1LG 3 LR, and any other variation you can think of. Unfortunately after I BR, I can only see whether my initial answer/BR answer is correct but I can't watch the videos that explain why I'm right/wrong. Is this intended, going to be changed later, or am I just missing something and I can already watch the explanations? I do plan on having the whole PT scored, just not all at once. So because my BR and review is so staggered I was hoping to review questions without having to officially complete a PT.

Hello friends. We will be celebrating Monday by joining one another in the virtual realm (via Skype voice call): 8pm EST (5pm PST/7pm CST), PT 55.

PM me your Skype handle and I will add you to the list.

I don't know if anyone else has had this happen to them but the LSAT is two months away and I've been taking PTs for about 2-3 months now. I was working through the 40s and low 50s PTs and wanted to start moving into more recent ones so I'll have experience with those. I was scoring consistently in the high 160s and now on my last two PTs (PT 64 and 67) I scored a 159 and a 162. I'm baffled. I don't understand why all of the sudden I'm having so much trouble and it's really hurt my confidence. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Everyone! I am new to the group. I am currently registered to take the June test and I have been studying since January. My studying materials consist of the LSAT Trainer and LSAT prep tests, and now 7Sage.

I am starting to feel really down because there has been no improvement in my score. The LSAT Trainer has helped me understand many things, but my speed and score has not improved. My score is still in the 140s. I am at that point where I am considering whether I am cut out for this. Regardless, I'll continue to do the best I can.

I have made up my mind to change my June test to September/October. And, I just signed up for one of the courses here.

I know my biggest problem is speed. I have not been able to answer all the questions in any of the sections in 35 minutes.

How do I get faster?
