I'm trying to access addons to buy PT's. Help!

I've just started the first LG module and am on the first problem set (Sequencing Games Homework Set 1). We're asked to tackle it after doing just four logic games along with JY in the prior few lessons.

The problem is that I don't feel those first few lessons offer enough grounding for us to be able to tackle an entire problem set, aim to do it in 10 mins and fool proof them. Each game, for example, contains a bunch of game rules the prior lessons didn't introduce us to, and we're not experienced enough yet in drawing inferences to be able to see them all.

Is it acceptable to treat these problem sets as video lessons, and work through them with the videos rather then just try to tackle them alone? I feel more grounding is needed before we try to tackle questions alone.

Hi Team,

Just wanted to run this new study plan with you all and see what your take is. I took the exam in Feb and got a 164. I want to aim for the 173+ range so going for it hard again.

Plan:

Restudy all 7sage material and put more of an ephasis on basic concepts i.e logic lessons etc

Cambridge Drills

Manhattan Material ( if needed)

20-25 PTs

BR the heck out of every question till I can explain it to a 2 yr old :P

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Does anyone know if this is allowed or looked down upon. Furthermore, do I need to check my prescription in with someone? I take medication for my ADD, and I was wondering if I would be allowed to take it during the 15 minute break. Please no judgements, this is a completely legal prescription.

I made a mistake on when transferring from paper to the online answer sheet, I used to be able to see an option to change the answer right below the score portion but it is not there anymore...any other methods?

Hello, everyone!

I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the recent LSAT changes. If you have not here's a recent post with the article attached: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2484/lsac-licensing-changes.

Anyway, I know a lot of people are probably freaking out. Hell, I made sure to DL all that I needed from 7Sage when I first read the news. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered. What happens to 7Sage and other online based prep courses? How will this affect how I study? When will changes take effect, and how soon? How will this affect my subscription? I mean, after all, we all did pay X amount for X amount of time. This all includes the PTs, lessons, and videos for every question. Well, here's the direction I THINK LSAC is heading towards.

We all know that 7Sage uses paid subscription, and that we are allotted a limited amount of time of which can be extended at any time. My understanding is, LSAC no longer wants PDF PTs to be free to circulate once someone is done with any course that utilizes these PTs. So, my assumption is they will change the format of future PTs to another file type, and will have all prep test courses that use PDF PTs to switch over to this new file type. This will be similar to renting a digital textbook at any university/college. You purchase the license, and after X amount of time the file deletes itself or is no longer accessible. It's not much different than the current system at 7Sage, minus the PTs will self-delete. It's like losing the ultimate package after one year of being subscribed to 7Sage, we just can't keep the PTs we downloaded a long time ago.

Along with everyone else, I'd like to hear what the higher ups have to say about this. @"J.Y. Ping" and @"Dillon A. Wright"!

If you have any alternate theories or anything that compliments what I wrote, please discuss! Anticipate the worst, hope for the best!

Hey all,

LSAT prep noob here and I was just wondering how much of a better candidate I can make myself with, say a 170+ LSAT. I posted a 157 diagnostic, so from the feedback I've received, 170+ is at least within the realm of possibility. I graduated May '13 with about a 3.4 GPA (<

Hey guys! I can't find the original thread @emli1000 started about BR'ing PTs together. I'm going to take PT3 tomorrow and was wondering if anybody wanted to BR together. I also can BR whichever PTs you guys are taking (though I'll pass if its PTs 50-74, since I'm saving those for when we get closer to the test date).

Aiming for the October LSAT.

I am currently around 35% through the core curriculum. While I feel I have a better overall understanding of things and that stuff is coming together nicely (scoring around 7/10 on the quizzes), I do still feel somewhat lost at points. It's as if some of what I am learning isn't sticking.

Naturally I am just in the infancy of my LSAT career - but is this feeling normal? Or should I be finishing each section in the core curriculum with the "I have a 100% concrete, rock-solid, iron-clad understanding of EVERYTHING I just read" feeling?

I'm sure things will really come together when I start drilling PTs.

Any wisdom is welcomed and appreciated!

Usually when I BR a PT I do every section. I always circle the ones I know I'm not 100% sure about but when I BR I go through the entire PT and write out my reasoning for every single answer choice. It's time consuming but it makes my brain work and do what I've learned throughout the course. So it's kind of a win-win situation. Once I finish BR I watch every single video explanation even though my reasoning is exactly as the video explanation, but I feel that if I skip questions I may miss something important lol so I watch every video. Is this recommended? Or should I just focus on those questions that I'm missing instead? Has anyone else done this before?

I have never done any studying at all for the LSAT. I will be taking my first test tomorrow to get my base score. Is there anything I can look over or study this evening? I want to dive in but don't know where I could potentially start! I signed up for the starter package. Thanks!

Took my baseline test, and got a disappointing 146. A major factor of such a low score is that I ran out of time in every section.

For section 1, did not get to read the last 7 questions before the time ran out.

For section 2, did not get to read last 8 questions and skipped 1 before the time ran out.

For section 3, skipped 3 questions near the end and didn't get to go back before time ran out.

For section 3, did not get to read the last 5 questions before the time ran out.

Speed is obviously a major contributor to the low score. If anyone has any words of wisdom, or encouragement it would be appreciated!! As you study for this test, I assume you will speed up, but do you think its possible for me to speed up enough to get to all the questions? Thanks for reading!

I have been debating between A and E, both seem very similar. Although I get that the answer is E, can someone please explain to me why is it not A? This video has few comments so I wasn't able to find something too helpful.

Hi all, I have taken the Feb 15 LSAT. I have scored a 145 on the test and was very disappointed with my score. I was really bothered by the test anxiety that had my heart beating very fast and was a big factor because I felt like all of the questions were going past me and I could not settle into the test at all.

I have been preparing for the test for over 6 months and have been scoring in the mid 150’s a score that is sufficient to got into a local law school that I have just been rejected from. I am wondering if I should consult a psychiatrist and maybe even do hypnosis exercises to help me get over the severe anxiety I had when taking the test. If anyone else has had the same issues or has any tips for what I should do please respond.

I know this sounds far fetched to some readers but its definitely real for me. I know this because at home I have done over 30 PT’s and was very comfortable in my own home setting, but when the timer started during the real test I just felt like I was taking my first diagnostic. I felt like I should of gotten a 155, a score that is not high at all but would be competitive for the law school for which I am applying.

Please advise.

Thank you,

Hey everyone,

Some of you may remember my story. I took the LSAT in September 2014, highly disappointed with a 145 but I have no one to blame but myself. I started prep in January for a retake by registering for an Ultimate course but I am going snails pace. I work full-time in a call-center (including commute 50-55 hours a week). I'm up to about the mid 150s guessing. I have zero family and very little friends support. It's really difficult to keep moving forward. I've done a lot of soul searching to determine that this is what I want to do. But its a uphill battle even at my best but I'm working on making that less steep. I have a 3.0 GPA but I can write an addendum that describes the semester that really brought it down. So maybe that will help. My LSAT goal is high 160s-low 170s. But of course the sky's the limit (180). I'm doing better at keeping motivated but I'm worried about the time. At this rate, it will be late spring/summer before I finish the course if I work my butt off. When I start PTs, I will probably only have the time to complete one a week. I'm thinking it may be beneficial for me to wait until December. My only concern is that I may have to rush to get in my applications in for starting school August 2016, but I don't think its too late. I know T14 is unlikely. My instinct says if I feel ready in September take the LSAT in October if not wait until December. But I like to plan things. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hello, all!

I decided to start doing the LG bundle games that I never did (when studying for the December exam). I always averaged about 3-5 wrong which really frustrated me. My best ever was -1 and I was never able to hit that again. I finally hit 0 wrong in 33 minutes and 30 seconds. It feels amazing :)! I need to continue of course, but it feels good knowing my hard work is paying off and that I might have finally gotten over that hump!

Share your success/hump stories as well please :D! it's great motivation :)!

Hi Sagers

Recently I've been drilling flawed questions. Basically, I try to find the gap in the argument first then attack the argument. However. I have a hard time finding the "right gap" or I find the gap but picked up wrong answers choice. What problem would it be? How would you guys approach flaw questions? Thank you so much! :)

Does anyone ever take an extended break?

I’ve entered into my second bikini competition for this May (17th). Basically, my calories will be reduced heavily, especially in the weeks as we get closer to it. I’ll be doing weight lifting and quite a bit of cardio, so a lot of my time will be spent in the gym.

I am planning on writing the October 2015 LSAT, as I want to not rush this prep or my LSAT studying and make the most of both. So far, I’ve been working out from 3:50-5:30 AM, getting to work for 7, studying from 7-8:30 AM, studying on my lunch break from 12-1, and taking the nights off.

I’ve gone through the LSAT Ultimate course twice now. I just finished the second time. In the AM I go through Cambridge Reading Comprehensions. First time through I do it under timed conditions, and second time through (sometime later on in the week) I go slower so I can really focus on identifying AO, OPA, and reading for structure over content.

I then do 1 LG set. I note the questions that are tougher and drill them on the weekend. I also do more reading comp on the weekends. During my lunch break I drill by question type for LR. I’m doing 1-60 of all of the packages first, and then I’ll finished 60-all when I go through my prep tests and need additional drilling for questions. In the AMs when I get ready I read through notes that I have made.

Since the LSAT is in October, I struggle a lot with mentally letting go of not studying 4-5 hours a day like I did before the December LSAT. Does anyone see anything wrong with my study method? I think it allows me enough exposure to everything so I can gain skill and not lose ability. I fear that, if I were to go right into the prep tests now, I would be so tired/exhausted from my low calorie diet that I wouldn’t be making the most of them.

Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks!!

Anyone find the LSAT Trainer's notation of Logic Games (especially the characteristics and categories chapter) a little redundant? I'm wondering if I should just skip these chapters...any thoughts?

Hey guys,

I'm stressed over this decision. I just want to hear opinions. I took the LSAT twice. 156 and 167. The rest of my credentials are good, but it looks like it is true that the LSAT is the most important factor.

I'm wait listed at multiple T14 schools. I've gotten everything from Full tuition at regional schools to 60k scholarship at a T25 school. However, even with full tuition there is quite a lot of debt from living expenses.

I'm really nervous about the job market. I think I want to work in a big law firm. It's possible with some of the schools that I got into, but it also comes with a load of debt and still not fantastic chances. I think that the Law School prep can help me get good grades, but it is no guarantee. Should I risk trying to get top 15% or just retake the LSAT?

Should I retake the LSAT if I am confident I can score 172+? I did score in the 170's a few times right before I took the real thing, and I know that test day was not my best.

I don't want to delay going to law school, but I also don't want to look back 3 years from now and wish I went to a t14 school with less debt. And the way everything is going, it looks like the coming years are going to be rough on law schools, students, and the job market.

What do you guys think?

Hey all,

I purchased the Premium package a few days ago and I just finished the June 07 LSAT but for some reason my account is denying me access now that I want to go back and review the score and answers. All of the lessons from the June 07 LSAT link including the video explanations are now locked and highlighted in yellow. I tried logging in and out a few times but its still the same. What could be the problem?

Thanks,

Matt

Rather than falling under the category of comments, could 7Sage implement a highlighting system that colours what is a question comment from just a comment, or separate out questions from recent comments for people who need questions answered in the lessons? Comments fill the recent comment box resulting in questions receiving belated answers, unless someone actively looks for them after each lesson/question or happens to come across one while doing their lesson.

Guys ... If you are ever in need of mild amusement ... Just search for the #lsat hashtag on Instagram. Lots of Kaplan/Barron's/Pton Review pics and "OMG #LogicalReasoning is so easy!!! #$1500CramCourseDayOne Thanks Dad #FutureLawyer"

Dying right now. I can't.

Okay, this may sound random. In group one it goes

Ex: "All Jedi use the force"

J -> F

/F -> /J

Group 2 goes:

Ex: "Only the good die young"

D -> G

/G -> /D

Why in group two does it go right to left on top versus left to right like group one?

Did i miss something in the videos?
