Hey all, Congrats to those that finally conquered the LSAT this past Saturday. As an Lsatter that plans to take the exam in June Reading Comp quickly went from my strongest section to my weakest since I began my prep and I was wondering if there were any books that anyone on here recommends for Reading Comp. I have the Powerscore trilogy but the RC book is not as acclaimed. I plan on watching @nicole.hopkins webinar for reading comp for any tips I may find. For people that ultimately did well on RC, was there a source you used for help or was it one of those things that came after practice?(I've also read The Trainer, LG Bible and I am half way through the LR Bible while drilling after each chapter and reviewing afterwards atm btw).

Hi,

Is there a way to make drills based off of questions you got wrong in previous drills? I only saw the option to compile questions you got wrong during previous practice tests, not drills themselves.

Thanks.

Like title suggests. I'm currently thinking about rescheduling my Feb to April. Would like the opportunity to retake in June, but am unsure if it will be the same 3-section format FLEX. The powerscore podcast suggested that it will still be flex, but I am unsure whether the entire format will remain unchanged. Would love anyone's thoughts!

Hi y'all, I am planning on signing up for the July test, does anyone know how it looks like testing in the International Trade Center.

I scored a 158 on my August LSAT. It was about what I was scoring at the time I honestly expected to score worse, but I am aiming to score in the low 160's by October. Is it possible to increase by at least 5 points by October? I'm trying to figure out a better study schedule for the month that is not so grueling, I studied 6 days a week about 7 hours from June to August. Any helpful advice or tips would be lovely.

The title says it all. Join us tonight to BR this fine PT. Only 2 more to go for the October BR cycle.

Add me on skype (nikkers625) to join.

Hello Fellow 7Sagers,

I am interested to see what your overall thoughts are of the PT. I am even more interested to see what your thoughts are regarding the logical reasoning sections. Thank you.

Dear all,

I am usually a logic games guru but the prep test 75 i was complete garbage. idk why but i could not figure out the games in time. Does anyone have any knowledge as to why the pt 75 games are harder.

Proctors: Super strict, fair, but fast between sections (no time to reset watch)

Facilities: Just one bathroom

What kind of room: Small, dilapidated (a little), way too close to a major street

How many in the room: 20 for our test

Desks: Tables with 2 chairs per table. Annoying texture on the tables made bubbling and essay writing a pain.

Left-handed accommodation: Sort of. They put left-handed on the left side of the table.

Noise levels: Not great but not bad. REALLY BAD for us because they were jack hammering right next to the building during our test but under "normal" conditions I think it would be okay.

Parking: None. Horrible. Have to find parking along residential streets or farther away.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Arrived early (8:05) for 8:30 report deadline. Started probably around 9:30.

Irregularities or mishaps: JACK HAMMERING!!!!!!!!!!!, the fallout from jack hammering, and a few others that were less egregious. Yikes...

Other comments: The people who took the LSAT there were an awesome group of friendly and amazing people.

Would you take the test here again? Preferrably not but probably just due to the PTSD of our particularly wacked out administration

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Monday, Sept 26, 2016

Hi there,

I am trying to change my picture for the Jan 2020 LSAT, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. Is it too late?? The tickets dont get printed until Jan 6.

Thank you!

Hi all, Looking for general advice. I am applying to multiple Canadian law schools for the 2020 year and had originally planned to take the January 2020 test thinking it would give me the most time to prepare and that the disadvantage in the application process would be worth it. Currently, I am doubting myself and have set up to write the test in November. However, I am doing applications and haven't had a huge opportunity to do full tests yet as I am still finishing the curriculum (just starting Reading Comp) and I feel I will just do the November test and will do awful. On my first test I took I got a 150 and I am hoping to score above a 165 with the knowledge from the curriculum and with at least 10-20 tests completed from now to November. so I guess I have two main questions - What is the cost of writing in January as opposed to November and do you think I am being reasonable? Thanks for any help!

What PT does Kaplan use as their free test? I took that as a cold diagnostic so I want to make sure I don't repeat it/watch video explanations for it.

Anyone near San Jose willing to study?

Everyone,

"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek." By Mario Andretti.

I would like to say ‘Hi’ to our 7Sage family. I have been here on and off for almost a year. I fortunately met J.Y. Ping in person when I was working in Korea. He is very smart and inspired me. I always find my excuse to avoid the study by doing something unnecessary.

I think this is the time to change and give a commitment to myself that I will make it happen like most of you. I am happy to come here and see many of you improving a lot by studying from 7Sage. I would like to do the same.

Let’s make it happen, TOGETHER!

Is there a way to customize the tests on here? Or any plans to release LSAT Flex preptests?? I thought about buying some from Powerscore since they made some, but I couldn't get their website to work. I suppose one could just do regular PTs on here and subtract one of the sections from their score.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see now that JY posted about this: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/150700

Is there a way to take individual LR sections?

Thank you

I took the July LSAT. It was quite an experience b/c the LG section just threw me off. I felt confident about only one game and had to make a lot of guesses on two games.

I've just been feeling so disappointed with myself. This was my third time taking the test. I was scoring in the early 170s on my practice tests. I worked really hard to get my pt score average to high 160s - early 170s. But everything just went to the drain on the real test.

I can't afford another score below 165. Both of my first two scores have been below 165. I know that the general advise is not to cancel, but I don't feel confident about the July LSAT at all. Doing well on the logic games is so critical for my overall performance on the test. I'm thinking of canceling and taking the September test. What do you think? At this point, I know that I'm capable of scoring 170+ and I don't think my performance on the July test will represent my full potential and how much I've improved on this test .

I was trying to use an LSAT pdf that I had to take a timed PT.

Free adobe reader only allows to highlight the text. But I can't mark or free-hand using mouse to underline/pick text/ACs.

For those who use PDF computer version to take PT, any solutions?

This test really confirmed for me that the only thing that will surprise me or really blind side me is the stuff I didn't study for. No matter how well I did on this test, I know that I didn't do as well as I could have done on RC and I'm confident that any problem in my score will be a result of RC.

Knowing this, I urge all of us to really Focus less on stressing out and more on practicing for a possible retake in September. There is absolutely no reason that we shouldn't be able to raise our scores especially by studying the parts of the LSAT we've been neglecting. By being well versed in each section, we have a safety cushion where we can afford to slip up a point or two a section and score very high. But even if we're doing well on every section but, say RC, then chances are that we make a few mistakes here and there on other sections combined, and come across a hard RC and go -8. Now you better hope that the rest of the test you make only two or so mistakes which is really tough...

We didn't get unlucky with this test. The LG and LR were definitely easy compared to some other PTS. The LG wash breeze and I'm sure we've seen tougher LR. the RC was the hardest ever. Even if it were easier, then the rest of the test would have been balanced accordingly. So the point is to be so good at each section that you can rest your score on the hardest section. If I could do one thing differently that I also wanted to do for the June LSAT which I didn't, it's to start studying now so if I need to retake I'm ahead and if I don't then big deal since my mind was at ease.

Good luck guys, don't be afraid to retake. We all know deep down what LSAT skills we could work on. It's the questions you wish you don't see on your test. Those r the ones to really practice.

Hi Everyone,

I started studying back in November and was originally planning on taking the test in April. However, based on my projected timeline I am planning on pushing my date back until June. I am wondering if anyone knows when the registration dates after April are usually opened?

Hey all, Al here.

Throughout my long (and I mean LONG) journey with the LSAT, I've come across this specific issue more times than I can count! I'd like to give my own personal thoughts on this topic.

Fellow LSAT students (non-7sage included) have reached out to me time and time again about this recurring topic: advice. I think it's safe to say that many (if not most) people think advice is inherently good. It is after all rooted in the premise that advice helps to inform and guides those that are lacking in certain information that can help others in the long run. And in many respects, the right advice can provide an enormous positive impact on the person receiving it.

But what's rarely talked about are the devastating effects of bad advice. Bad advice can lead us to do things that we normally wouldn't consider and the negating effect can be as substantial as any good advice. Not only does it deviate a person from one's initial trajectory, but it can undo a lot of the progress they have made on their own.

But what really is the distinction between good and bad advice? Here's what I think are the major distinctions:

1. Advice is inherently subjective. What may be great advice for one person maybe horrible advice for another.

2. Good advice has specificity, whereas bad advice is openly vague. The LSAT is a great example of this. So many of the nuances embedded within concepts can be very hard to absorb and the advice provided has to not only be logically congruent within the parameters of the LSAT...it also has to make absolute sense to the person receiving it. I've seen many people (including myself many times) THINK they have an understanding of a certain tidbit of advice but really have no understanding at the core of it.

3. Good advice more often than not takes time, whereas bad advice is usually impulsive. I've noticed this for myself when I've been asked for advice. When I have the time to really think about a problem, I more often than not have something worth telling the person asking for advice.

I have been the benefactor of both great and bad advice. All three of these tenets that I've mentioned applied to me. Yes, it does suck when we get bad advice. But the onus cannot be entirely on the person providing the advice...the onus is on the one receiving it. At the end of the day, it's all about personal responsibility and knowing what truly works and what doesn't work for you.

Just food for thought.

Would someone with experience be willing to review my PTs with me to help strategize where I should focus moving forward? I'm planning on taking the test in January and February.
