Guys, I still have 12 complete PT (57-68) intact. Taking June LSAT on 6/23 (I'm taking it in Asia so the date is different).

Trying to divide entire 48 sections into 9 full PTs with 5 sections each and remaining 3 sections to keep me engaged during the last two days before test. Any thoughts? Good/bad idea?

Hey guys, I have heard from a friend that retaking an old PT (that you have done in the past) under timed condition is a good idea because after all, PTs are scarce and by repeating an old PT, you get to re-engage and consolidate the thinking process.

Good or a waste of time?

Thoughts?

This question is presumably directed to Alan (who is a tech-wiz ferreal): can you put a feature to star explanations?

I'm cataloging the hardest questions I've come across and want a way to mark them, similar to how individual lessons are marked. Can we already do this?

I find it is difficult to do the entire prep test in time. I have trouble circling questions I'm not sure on. I also find myself not reading LR Q stem first before stimulus (wasting time). HELP!!! How do I go about blind reviewing the test with not many circled questions? I know the process via videos, but should I redo the whole test under non-timed conditions? Also, I skipped a whole RC section and about 1/2 a LG section. So I don't even know what I don't know on that stuff. I want to improve LG and RC more than they currently are AND I HAVE TO focus on skipping high difficulty LR questions QUICKLY. Any advice on how I can use my time more effectively 1) to study & 2) to get through sections quicker... I would like to spend my last 5 minutes in LR marking answers and trying the 3-4 problems I skipped corrected and "FEELING GOOD" versus racing through the last 4 problems and marking answers like a SAW victim with time running out...

So I've finished most of the independent sections on 7sage but had not had the chance to take any prep tests under limited time. And I just did a mock test in the afternoon and scored in low 150.

I guess I am not used to time limit so I was a bit nervous, made many mistakes, and left at least 5 questions in each section blank. When I went back and finished the unanswered questions with no time limit the score goes above 160.

I am curious if it is realistic for me to reach 165 if I do 5-6 prep tests per week before June 10th?

Thanks a lot for anyone who shares his/her opinion.

How much does the writing portion at the end matter? Does anyone really "study" for it? IS there a way to study for it?

Pretty much everyone I know studying for the LSAT kind of just ignores this part... I know it gets sent to law schools and that LSAC doesn't grade it....I've heard that it's not that important since law schools know it's placed at the end of a tough, long test... and that they have a better example of your writing in your personal statement.

Hi Everyone!

Based on the discussion title, what should be the average increase in points from the diagnostic to the second test we take?

I went up 6 points in the second test and I'm feeling a bit down. What I thought to be my strongest sections in the LSAT became my weakest ones on the second PT.

Ex: On my diagnostic, my strongest sections were LG and RC. After taking the test, my most improved section was LR, and I bombed RC and LG.

Should I take a small break from the tests to do more drills in LG and RC? Or should I "keep calm and carry on" with the prep tests?

Thanks a ton!

I heard a bit back that the new tests give all takers 2 pages for each LG & I just confirmed it. Yay for more space to diagram! Just thought I would throw that out there in case it's news to some. Keep studying hard everyone! :)

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?

Bret

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?

how did you guys study using the core curriculum/practice tests? did you go through the entire core curriculum as is (ex: doing several of the weaken question problem sets in a row) or did you not do all and go back to them? I'm just confused as to what I would use for drilling after I go through the entire core curriculum in order? (also, the core curriculum is just considered everything before you reach the practice tests correct? or is it everything before diagnostic?)

Proctors: The proctors at the test center were really quiet throughout the test (which I highly appreciated). They gave us a 5 minute warning and enforced all the rules they were told to follow for test day.

Facilities: The building was pretty easy to get around. Right outside the building where the test was at, there was a sign that let you know the LSAT was taking place there. The bathrooms were right across the room where the test was being held. The slight downside was that when we finally got our 15 minute break, there were only 2 stalls in the women's bathroom and so it took a bit for all the girls to get to use the bathroom haha.

What kind of room: The test was in a big, open room. The room felt comfortable in terms of temperature. The lighting was bright as it should be.

How many in the room: I believe 20 people registered to take the test but only 15 showed up. The room could have easily fit 50 people so I was actually really happy that not that many people were there to take the test. Made my experience a whole lot better!

Desks: Desks were long, spacious desks that could fit multiple people. There were about two people placed at each long desk and there was about 3 open seats between me and the other student taking the test. I had a lot of room to spread out my exam materials.

Left-handed accommodation: Since the desks were just long tables, I assume that left-handed people would have no problem with taking the test on that kind of a desk. I am right-handed so I wasn't really paying attention to whether or not it affected any left-handed people.

Noise levels: The room was pretty quiet. I never heard any outside noises. A few people in the room must have had a cold that day because I heard a lot of sniffling as well as people coughing. For the most part, it never really bothered me.

Parking: Parking lot was really close to the hall. It took about a minute to walk to the building. It was also free parking which was an added bonus.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: I got there really early so thankfully I was the first in line. Since there were only 15 people who showed up for the test, checking us all in did not take long. The test started for us at about 9:10 a.m. after instructions.

Irregularities or mishaps: None!

Other comments: All in all, it was a really good test center. Muhlenburg College is only 15 minutes from my house so the drive was pretty quick. Due to my experiences there I would highly recommend that anyone who lives within this area take the test there!

Would you take the test here again? YES!!!!! Except, I am really upset that Muhlenburg is not an available test center location for the June 2016 administration (which I am of course signed up to take). The only time they administer tests at their location are for the December, February, and September/October administrations. This makes me so sad. :( So if anyone knows anything about the Penn State - Lehigh Valley test center, please let me know and post it on here!

Are there any tips on how to take notes of stimulus and passages on digital LSAT?

Are they better to send sooner or later? I plan on applying for fall 2021, and I am about half way thru my graduate program. I have a 3.94 GPA. I know graduate transcripts aren't really weighed much but would rather have them see this number than a lower one.

Suggestions??
