So I'll be finished with CC and taking my first real PT on June 4th. From June 4th to July 23rd I should be able to get in 2 PT's a week (14 PT's total) with drilling in each section (mainly LR and LG) throughout the weeks. I plan on doing one PT on a Monday and the other on like a Friday/Saturday so I can drill in the days between. I'm hoping this is a good strategy, my first cold-PT put me at about 151/152, and my target goal is at least a 160. Any advice?

Hey, I’ve moved on to BRing only circled questions, which is a lifesaver.

BR score actually went up after only doing circled questions because I’m not changing from right to wrong, and it takes me half the time I used to spend on reviewing LR section.

However, I decided to do the rest of the questions before grading, and want to record it separately from my 1st BR score.

I thought I could enter 3rd ACs in the answer sheets because tapping the Q number again after saving it showed 3rd bubble.

But when I saved the 3rd bubble, it just changed my BR score without saving the previous selection...

Is there something I have to check in my account to save them? is there an option to do that at all?

Thank you, and good luck to everyone taking the test on next Monday!!

So I am just now starting logic games and I am somewhat confused on when I should be doing the full proof method. Is that something that should wait until I start to PT, or should I full proof the problem sets from the CC as well? I am completely new to the games, and as expected I struggled on the first sequencing games. I am still having some trouble understanding if I need to go back and do the game over again or not like the full proof method says to do. If so, am I supposed to full proof every single problem set game that I struggle with initially?

Hello!

I just recently finished the core curriculum and took PT 36 so I can do at least one PT a week until test day (July 23rd). I feel that going through the BR process with PT 36 has helped in some regards, however I feel I need to be drilling problem sets in addition to the BR. Unfortunately, I only have access to the 10 or so PT's provided in the Starter Pack because I cannot afford the more expansive options. I would like to do all of those under timed conditions, so drilling those sections won't work.

So for drilling sections and game/question types, should I just buy some of the earlier PT's (1-35) through 7sage, or are there other resources out there (like "10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests") that you guys have used when short on cash?

Thanks for the help!

Hey guys, I just signed up for the November Virtual Course but can't seem to find a way to locate it on the site. Does anyone know where it is? I just paid for it :(

Hi everyone,

I've been preparing for the LSAT for quite some time. Last year, I went through a significant amount of study material and took several prep tests. After completing the application process, I decided to reapply this year, which led me to continue my LSAT prep.

However, I'm facing a challenge. The new prep tests are compilations of sections from old prep tests, which makes it challenging to find fresh prep tests. Additionally, because I’ve done a lot of drilling both last year and this year, I’m running out of fresh tests, especially from 130 downward.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestions on how to approach this situation or find more fresh prep tests? Is it worth completing prep tests although segments from sections may have been drilled previously?

I'd appreciate any tips or resources that might help me keep my prep going strong.

Thanks in advance!

I've been fluctuating anywhere from 158 to 165. I recently scored 165 on test number 60 (the last one I took). I was feeling pretty happy with the improvement I made (diagnostic 154). But I just took the 72 and bombed back down to the 158. I know a lot of people said at first when they hit the 70s, their scores went down. But I honestly can't see why I would have such a massive 7 points down as I really didn't find the fundamentals between the 2 tests that different. Any encouragement or thoughts on this would be helpful. Has anyone seen this happen to them?

Also if you're wondering why I'm skipping around numbers it's because I give my friend a number range and just have her pick one. :)

Hi all! I just started my lsat journey and would love to be surrounded with like-minded peers and finding a study buddy in the philly area!

Has anyone or is anyone taking the March exam at Lehigh? I wanted to go and take a PT there but no one seems to know anything about the lsat. Anyway, they told me that there is no place for me to take a PT but she didn't seem quite sure herself. If anyone has any info on the test center can you share your experience?

I'm writing my lsat on Saturday and i keep scoring 4 points below my goal score.

With my gpa, a score of mid 150 would make me competitive for the law school i want to get into.

Currently i keep scoring between 151 to 152.

When i BR my score gets to 155+.

Any last minute tips to help me boost up my score a couple points?

It's really frustrating because everytime I do LR the first time around i get -8 to -11, but when i go back to look at the questions i got wrong, the answers which were my second choice are always right.

And as for LG, I'm doing well in terms of accuracy, however I'm still spending 8.5 min on each game. Which makes it difficult to finish the last most difficult game.

Proctors: Somewhat strict. Had three proctors just for my room. They spoke among themselves during the test taking.

Facilities: Very old and not conducive for test-taking. Had a small lecture hall desk that could barely fit the materials and my pencils, watch, etc. Needed to use the desk next to me for most items.

What kind of room: Old-school science lecture hall

How many in the room: 50+

Desks: See above

Left-handed accommodation: Yes

Noise levels: Bells were ringing from the main campus throughout the test

Parking: N/A

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About an hour? There were a lot of people at this center and it took time to split the group up into smaller groups and get situated in the test taking room.

Irregularities or mishaps: The bells on campus were weird

Other comments: No

Would you take the test here again? No

Date[s] of Exam[s]: December 2014

Hey 7sagers,

I hope everyone is rocking their LSAT studying today.

I am sure a lot of you are super ambitious and zealous like me when creating your daily LSAT study plans. I am not sure if many of you experience this – but I need some advice. How do you know that you are creating a daily schedule/plan that is doable? For example, one day you plan out that you are going to do 5 LG and 1 set of RC practice questions and unfortunately you are only able to complete 3 LG games. Do you the next day just complete the work that you did not do from the previous day or do you move on with your next day study plan?

For me some days – I am really on my game and complete my daily study goals. However, other days’ certain questions take me so long because I am really trying to make sure that the answer choice I choose is 100% correct. This gets me a little bit freaked out as you feel that you are just falling behind with your studying. I do not know about you all – but I hate that feeling!

If you have gone through this and have any tips on overcoming this – please let me know.

Thanks in advance and have an amazing day peeps!

Dear 7sagers,

So here's my thoughts on my first online format take for the LSAT:

I loved it for LR! It just felt like the process went way smoother and more efficiently. I don't know if it was because I've been drilling and reviewing LR like mad over the past couple of weeks, but nonetheless, the online LR has some evident advantage in my view. First of all, it helps so much that the clock is on your screen. Checking for the time on my analog watch was just a plain damn nuisance for me. Also, not having to transfer your answers on the scan-tron gives me an extra 2-3 minutes to do more questions. Lastly, the online format in terms of pencil vs. mouse/tablet pen, doesn't allow much time to be fixated on labeling. This indirectly forces you to focus on the structure of the argument instead of circling/underling each and every major detail, which was a bad habit for me.

Now for on the contrary, the online format is a freakin' NIGHTMARE for Games! Having to look up and down at the screen between my setup on scratch paper and the test itself on the monitor was unforgiving for me! Right now I usually get through about 3 games; but this time I could barley do ONE! Uggh, I wish LSAC would allow for having a clean paper version of the games to write on, and then transfer your answers on the computer/tablet. How do you all handle Games online? I folded my scratch paper horizontally, with one bigger side for the diagram, and the smaller side for questions. However this didn't help me at all, so I would dearly welcome any and all suggestion on this for me.

For Reading Comp., I still slightly prefer paper, but I believe I'll be able to adjust for online reading. I also believe that the online version, like LR, doesn't allow much time for obsession over labeling, so it forces you to comprehend the structure of the passage, which is what RC is pretty much all about.

PS: I'm registered for the July test, which seems like a WTF that I just now did an online test. However I'm most likely going to cancel and take advantage of the later free test unless I score a 155 or better. So I'd really like those online LG suggestions please!

So I have identified a problem that I have no idea how to approach. In any given section, I will miss 4 questions. However, I've found that I always know the questions I'm going to miss in advance and that I typically end up overthinking problems that are not realistically complex (3s or 4s). How do I stop myself from second-guessing the complexity of the question and trying to outsmart the test writers? How do y'all convince yourselves that you are right on questions that seem like they are blatantly attempting to trick you, especially considering the time-constraints?

I know LSAC has been changing it up lately. When was the last time they pulled this baby out? Do we see this happening soon ? I enjoy them more than a lot of other games but I am just curious as to when this rarely used game may be making a comeback

I'm looking for a study buddy in Chicago who would be willing to meet in person maybe 1-2 evenings a week. I'm prepping for the September LSAT and would prefer to work with someone already scoring at least in the 160s but I'm pretty flexible. Send me a message if interested!

Good evening all,

I'm primarily posting to find advice to reach my score goal (likely just like everyone else). I started prep one month ago, first score 144 with equally bad scores on each section. My preperation thus far has included taking 1-2 timed 4 section LSAT's each week with at least one section a day, working through a portion of a kaplan book (dropped because i didn't love their LG method; brother took the course and i got the book for free), a couple insight lsat videos on youtube and 7sage LG explanations. I've taken 8(?) timed lsats and have gotten my score up to a consistent 157. My scores on each section are pretty consistent, 17 to 18 right on each section. I'm fairly confident I'll be able to get my LG score up to around 20 right each time, but I'm looking for advice on what section to focus on i guess. I haven't really done Blind Review at all, is it that helpful? The score I need is a 164. I'm looking to get into U Denver law (Sturm) with a 2.77 ugpa. I'm halfway through my MBA program at a low ranked school with a 4.0 GPA. I like the school because I'd like to live in denver and work in the private sector there or somewhere in that region. Any thoughts on methods or important sections to focus on? Or general thoughts at all? Taking the july lsat and working fulltime/ going to school. Still i reasonably have 1-2 hours a day i can focus on it and 4-5 on saturday/sunday. Thanks in advance.

I have just been watching the videos so far, but I was wondering when I should start doing the practice drills with the videos? Or is it better to watch all the videos before drilling?

I'm wondering if I should upgrade to Ultimate+. Here's my dilemma:

I have PDF's of each question type (with questions from PT 1-35) and they're arranged by difficulty from a previous tutor which is super convenient. The only thing is that I find it extremely helpful to be able to go back and watch J.Y's videos after BR or if I'm having difficulty with a question. Also, I find it hard to organize/make my own 'problem sets'. I feel like I just have multiple running lists of problem types I should be doing with different difficulties but have trouble keeping track of them. I should also mention that I have every PT from 39+ available as well for when I start PTing.

Is it worth it to spend the extra money to upgrade to Ultimate+ given my circumstances?

If I were to upgrade to Ultimate+, how should I go about doing the problem sets? Do you do all of them after each lesson or save the harder ones for later/review?

Hi future 1L's! I'm Briyana and I will be taking my LSAT in February 2017. I'm looking for a study buddy, who is very serious about making a decent score (158+) . I'm actually in the Summerville and Ladson area. I will begin studying in October 2016, but will have materials in September. Not sure if this will work or not but thought I'd give it a try. Good Luck, Happy Testing!

Hi,

I'm starting my lsat studies back up and the study scheduler v2 says to take the June 2007 diagnostic however I plan on taking the new format and I already took that diagnostic when I was originally studying. Should I just start with PT 101 in the new/current format as my diagnostic OR should I skip it and start doing the lessons and save the new format PTs to do once a week. My plan is to start studying the week of July 22nd and study until October, then depending on where i am PT'ing by that point I plan on taking the exam near that time. Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated, thanks!

404 Error everytime i want to review my practice tests

Hey 7sagers,

I am interested in looking into getting a tutor for the LSAT. Before I do so, I was wondering if you have gotten an LSAT tutor, how have your experiences be? What areas did you use them to help you in? How have they helped you improve your mark?

For me I am looking into getting a Tutor for LR & RC, study plans, etc.

Any stories, tips and info are recommended.
