What do you guys think of Prep Test 62? Anybody thought it was particularly difficult? Opinion appreciated.

Hey everyone,

Thanks again for the excellent material. I really wish I came across 7sage earlier in my studies.

I apologize if there's already a thread or section for this, so feel free to just move this discussion. I thought this could just be a place for users to make broad suggestions for the website - whether or not they can be implemented.

In the comments, I've noticed the staff is extremely responsive, nice, and open, so I hope this can be useful to them as well!

For me, the first thing would be, in addition to being able to mark all as completed, to be able to mark off individual lessons manually.

I'm cherry picking lessons that sound interesting because of my limited time, and they're not recording as being completed. This is forcing me to waste time remembering if I did this lesson or not already.

Thanks again!

my plan is take one prep test on Monday and another one on Thursday, while the test is on Sunday (I'm taking it in Asia).

What should I do in the last two days, Friday and Saturday? Drill a bit to stay alert but not too much?

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue with not being able to print some of the LSAT Preptests. I was able to print 47 and 48, but for some reason 46 won't print. It's very strange! Says there is a printer error, but the other two printed. Any advice?

Going to give myself some perspective by listing all the things harder the LSAT. I need a reminder that this test is not the end-all-be-all, that more difficult tasks exist. So if you're getting some June 10th anxiety, feel free to add to the list. If there was ever such a thing as an off-topic LSAT discussion, this would definitely be it.

Things Harder Than the LSAT

the MCAT

law school

the bar exam

finding a job after law school

being the first in your family to hold a post-graduate degree

paying back your loans

curing cancer

nuclear physics

finding the Higgs Boson subatomic particle

putting a man on the moon

This is getting silly but is still extremely therapeutic.

I was wondering if you can whisper to yourself during the LSAT? Or is it strictly no noise during the exam? Sorry this may be a dumb question lol...

Hey guys, we have a really awesome community here that's positive and supportive, thank you for that.

I hope these simple rules to regulate this discussion forum will help ensure that we continue to have a caring community:

Rules

1. Be nice. Behind the screen is a person reading what you write to them.

2. Be thankful for other people's time. It takes time for someone to answer a question. Whether you like the answer or not, they were trying to help.

3. Advertisements or solicitations for services or products are not allowed. This includes tutoring, advertising other companies, webinars that are not from 7Sage, or links offsite to your personal pages (eg. blog, tutoring services, etc). Please also refrain from making threads / commenting, or messaging students about buying or selling products. (This includes LSAT watches or any LSAT materials.)

4. Do not post LSAT questions, any copyrighted content, or links to content that infringe on copyright.

5. Do not ask other students for copies of LSAT questions or to share accounts.

Formatting Guidelines

1. Format for posting questions about specific Reading Comprehension (RC) questions:

"PT#.S#.Q# (P#) - brief description of stimulus" E.g. PT60.S1.Q7 (P4) - social behaviors of insects

2. Format for posting questions about specific Logical Reasoning (LR) questions:

"PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of question" E.g. PT37.S1.Q12 - Political scientist: Efforts to create a more egalitarian

Tips

1. Do not to post your email or phone number publicly. Spam bots might pick up your email & number and you'll get spam. If you want to share contact info, you can use direct messaging.

2. Use the "Flag" button to notify the admins about any violations.

is there a difference between the old lsat preptests and the new preptests. I took my lsat in february (did quite good) and i mainly studied from preptests 1-38. i'm just curious as to what difference there is for the newer lsat 39-60. is there a difference in the logical reasoning?

Hi Alan,

I noticed that for every PT, you have to fill out the answer sheet no matter what in order to get to the explanation video.

I've already taken a few PT's before the LSAT score sheet was implemented and for some of those PT's I don't have my answer anymore (all i have is my PT with writing and scibbles on it which I just use to refer too). I've used my own spreadsheet prior to the implemented lsat score sheet.

If possible, would it be possible for video explanations to have its own little dropbox with a heading like "Video Explanation for Preptest X" in each PT webpage that you can open and close like in the "Progress" page for each PT without having to resort to filling out the answer sheet? (e.g., if you click the title of a group of question types like "Method of Reasoning", it collapses the lessons and uncollapse them clicked on the title again".

What i've been doing when reviewing older PT's that I took awhile ago, I would bubble in one random answer choice, then click "Score" and then scroll and look for the question that I would need a video explanation for.

Hey Juners, if you have questions or comments relating to the June LSAT, please post them here!

Hey study buddies, post your thoughts about your meetings here! Suggestions welcome!

Here's the general idea guys. You're all studying for this horrendously difficult test. Better to do it with someone else than alone. How? Blind Review your LSAT Prep Tests or Problem Sets with someone else (in person or over Google Hangouts). Try to find someone 1) on your schedule and 2) at your level.

Edit: We now have a Study Buddies app on the dashboard! Check it out here:

I just started studying for the LSAT, and will take it in September. My diagnostic test was a 173, and my second prep test was 168. What's the best way for me to improve my score and my consistency? Does it make sense to go through the entire 7Sage curriculum, or should I skip the basics and just focus on my areas of weakness?

I have searched and searched to try and find which tests are included in the Official LSAT Prep Plus, but all I can find is a rough number of how many tests are included. (I have bought a bunch of tests already, so it would be very helpful to know which ones are included before deciding to purchase this.) Can anyone who has purchased the Official LSAT Prep Plus clarify which specific tests are included?

Thanks!

Is it appropriate to direct message a partner at a big law firm on LinkedIn for an informational interview? Or should I stick to associates?

Hello,

When answering principle questions, we want an answer that obviously doesn't violate the stimulusm, and conforms most to the text.

Is too general an answer choice bad? And in using certain words (specifically the medical advance question in the PT 40s) , can we assume that two words can mean different things or that one word can be more inclusive and cast a wider net than the way it is used in the stimulus?

So one question said that medical tests are advancing so that we can detect diseases early, but most of these diseases aren't curable yet by medicine. Then it raises an ethical dilemma.

Now the answer choice I put is "the more we learn, the more you realize how little we know".

The correct answer choice was "advances in medicine can raise ethical concerns".

If we assume that advances in medical technology/tests constitutes an advance in medicine then I understand it. But it states that we can't cure them using current medicines so can we really say medicine advanced?

It was too uncertain to me so I went with the wrong answer, the more general one. Or maybe there is another mistake in what I chose.

Thanks and GL studying !

Does anyone have suggestions for the best place to actually take an LSAT Flex? I am schedule to take the exam in August (guessing it will probably be a Flex), but absolutely cannot do this in my house as there are way too many distractions. I was thinking about getting a hotel room. Would love to hear what others have done in June - or are planning to do in July.

For those of you who have closed a large BR gap. How did you do it? currently scoring around 157 timed and BR around 164/165. I obviously need to do more PTs. Would love to score at my BR level lol. Generally feel like under timed, my brain doesn't catch on as quickly and effectively. I'm starting to recognize some patterns here and there in LR and RC. Questions 1-18 on LR, I can do them fairly easily (though not with perfect accuracy, again my brain just doesn't register as quickly under timed, but when I'm BR-ing, i'm like how did i miss that). It's the questions near the end, they just really eat me up. Tips welcomed!

Also any tips on improving RC?

Looking for any success stories/general tips as a guide. Thanks!

Actual:

LR: -8 to -10 per section

RC -9

LG -5 to -7

BR:

LR -5 to -7 per section

RC -5

LG -1 to perfect

Hey 7sagers,

Probably going to start law school in the fall at Dalhousie (https://www.dal.ca/faculty/law.html). Just wanted to know if there are any books, online courses, prep materials that you would recommend I could perhaps go through in the summer to help me get prepd.

Any help in advance would be awesome.

I'm going through the curriculum right now and I'm up to LR pseudo-sufficient questions. There were some lessons in which I felt sort of weak on (for example weakening questions), though I feel compelled to just keep going as I want to finish the curriculum in the allotted time I originally planned in my study schedule. How often should old lessons be reviewed? Should I drill down those lessons before going on? Or should I just keep going, finish the curriculum and then go back and review old lessons?

I remember the highlight feature was pretty buggy on the digital tablet form of the test (pre-covid). Is the highlight feature more reliable with the flex? I'll be using a wireless mouse.

Hi! I managed to get a 172 on the January LSAT, despite not being in the best mental state. I'm retaking in June and aiming for 99th percentile. Anyways, I just started anti-depressant medication a few weeks ago, and am worried that it might be giving me brain fog/lack of motivation and focus. I feel pretty much the same, maybe just in a bit more of a positive mood. My last PT was a 177 (with medication), but it was also an older test. Has anyone had experience with medications affecting their score? I don't want to be in a situation where it affects my ability to focus on the test, and I end up with a lower score in June....

I've been experiencing a lot of technical issues with the question bank. Regardless of how many questions I choose, only half will actually load. It's also not possible for me to choose multiple question types in LR.I tried google chrome, firefox, and safari.

Is anyone else having issues as well?

On a few of my blind reviewed sections, I have actually performed worse than my timed sections. Most of my errors are due to a lack of confidence, overthinking, or a lack of true understanding of the reasoning.

Does anyone have any thoughts/advice on the following in terms of BR?

Hi all!

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!

I haven't been studying much since I was focused on finding employment after being laid off from COVID, however, I'm happy to say I'll be starting a new job this week, and I feel like I can refocus my attention on the LSAT.

The last time I studied consistently was probably early November. I did a bit here and there throughout November/December, but I would say probably only an hour or two every other week. I feel like I'll be rusty getting back into more of a strict schedule, and like I may have "forgotten" my strategies for LR/LG. Does anyone have any tips for someone who's taken a break for this long and is now returning to LSAT studying again?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you :)
