Hi!

I just signed up for this course and I am eager to start using this method. I finished watching the videos on the Blind Review Method, and I just want to make sure that I am understanding this correctly.

1. Take the test and/or a section under time constraints and circle any questions you are not 100% confident on. Also, circle the questions where you are not sure if an incorrect answer is actually an incorrect answer.

2. After your time is up, go back over all the questions which were circled and not circled, and go through your reasoning. Talking out loud, go over your reasoning on the questions and if you have to change your answer do so, but make sure you make a note of it.

3. Check your answers.

4. The questions you got right and did not circle, do not worry about them. The questions you got wrong and circled, go over them by watching video explanations. Same thing with questions you circled and still got wrong, even when you changed the answer during the blind review.

If anyone can add anything or tell me if this is all correct I'd greatly appreciate it.

Cheers!

7Sage timer shows error and stops itself sometimes without my knowledge while I am taking a PT, which throws off my time completely. How would you recommend me to time myself with using an analog watch or another timer? For example, when should I give myself a break? After the section 2? Should I account for the essay part? 7Sage PTs are all 4 sections with an essay, unlike the real test, which would have 5 sections...what should I do about that since I only have access to 4 sections PTs... such as what should I do with timing myself with breaks for 4 sections?

Also, I remember there was a previous discussion on whether if it's ok to bring in 3 analog watches in the test room, and set them all to 12, and press start each time the section starts. Is this ok, or LSAC only allows one watch?

During the beginning of many of the logic lessons, a mindmap is shown containing the relevant topics of the logic curriculum. Is there anyway that we can access that mindmap?

Thank you in advance,

Nick

In my studying program I started by focusing on games until I was consistently scoring perfect.

Then I shifted my focus to LR until I was scoring between -0 and -6 total (two sections).

Now that I have shifted my focus to Reading Comprehension, my LR score has been decreasing to -8 or -12. I am also having a difficult time finishing the LR sections on time, leaving 3-4 questions blank and having to guess.

Did anyone else experience this and have any tips to handle this situation?

I am getting really frustrated and it is because my full time job has recently been brutal (ridiculously stressful). My job is directly affecting my studying in the last month. It just drains me and I cannot concentrate. This has destroyed my confidence for the September test. I was on my way to getting the score I wanted, but lately I have been bombing everything. After I leave work I am just mentally drained; I can't make inferences for LG, I forget the stimulus, and reading comp has been terrible. Thinking of canceling my September test, but it bums me out since I was at the score I wanted. It feels like I am burnt out, but not because of the LSAT, but because of WORK.

Any advice would be great. If anyone can relate or has any useful tips.

I need a 160. I got a 147. My last test I got a 152 ( about 3 weeks ago though ). Maybe my score is a couple of points lower than it was before i even began studying at all because I took the test so late in the day and my mind was already kind of scatter-brained.

Nevertheless,

I just bombed the test.

I have 6-7 more tests scheduled before the sept 27 test ( maybe 8 tests )

Anyone experienced gains in such a time frame..with such a score? Good lord lol.

I've been studying for the LSAT for about 2 months now. I started off at 146 and now I am around 157/158. Occasionally I drop down to a 155. In the recent PTs I've been stuck in this same score range (156-159). My reading section continues to be relatively low, I usually get -9. My goal is to get a 165. I am thinking of signing up for the 7sage course. Do you think if I continue studying and add the course, my course would increase? It's frustrating because I have been studying every day usually about from 9am-5pm. What is your advice on moving up when stuck in the same score range? Any tactics? And do you think raising my score to 165 is feasible. Thank you in advance!

Hi! So Sept test day is in 2 weeks. my last 4 PTs (5 sections and simulated conditions) have been 158, 154, 159, 155. (Started at a 138 diag so I am happy to have made these strides but I am aware these scores are still not enough) I have about 5 more PTs to take ( 2 weeks out: Tues, Thurs, Sat, Week of LSAT: Mon, Wed). Any suggestions on the next two weeks? I think at this point it will be sheer luck if I get a 160 since my PT average is floating in the upper 150s, but if theres any advice ill take it. My games section ranges from -4 to -2. LR is about -7 to -10 per section and RC is literally a toss up but usually -12 to -10 (I only am able to finish 3 passages).

Maybe only take 4 PTs and drill more?

I really need help with Reading comp, I have tried everything and I still average 15 Mistakes, anyone who consistently gets 0-5 wrong can you provide any tips for the next 2 weeks.

Thanks

I can open the PDF docs on my iphone but not on my tablet. It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Is there something I need to do, or is the tablet just not capable of opening the docs? Anybody know?

Hi

I purchased Ultimate back in January - one of the best decisions I made for my prep.

I am coming to the end of my LSAT career (fingers crossed), and I do not have tests 69-72 which I want to take before the September test.

My question is, do I have to pay $30 each ($120 total) for these tests? Even though I purchased Ultimate ($500+) close to 9 months ago. Seems like a lot for 4 tests.

I want to be able to enter a discount code before I purchase an upgrade for a course, but there is no field to do so. I don't want to hit 'Purchase' until I see my discount applied. Any suggestions?

Are there explanations for the LRs from Test 33 on this website?

Can anyone help explain how I should translate the stimulus?

I understand why E is the correct answer, but I would love to solidify why this answer choice is 100% correct.

Thanks in advance!

I have two weeks left, and logic games are by far my worst section. I know they are easy to make great improvements in, but I really feel stuck. All of the games seem different to me, and it's very hard for me to make inferences in a time efficient manner. Are there any tips you all have? Do you also have a set of games organized by category that I should memorize to improve my skills. This is very frustrating, and I just feel like I can't progress.

I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve on logic games. The problem is that I can usually only solve 2 LG within the 35 minute time limit and have trouble solving the more difficult 2 even without a time limit. I've been using the suggested method of printing out blank copies and repeating the game. After I've watched the video I can almost always solve the problem the first time within 6 minutes and get 100%. I feel like although this method works for a lot of people it's not all that helpful for me. Maybe I've been doing it wrong? Also I've been practicing and getting my hands on as many logic games as I can. Any advice on another method to improve would be great!!

When I grade my test from one of the preptest books I know which ones I got wrong, but it'd be nice to see his explanations too

This might be a really obvious question, but: if a given LSAT has a less rigorous section, is it usually compensated by a very difficult section of another type? I find that when games are easy, reading comp is a lot harder.

My course expires tomorrow and I'm trying to extend my course, but it says I do not have a full course and to either purchase a full course or log-in. I am logged in. I log-in again anyway... but it still says the same thing. If I purchase the extension is it going to properly credit my account? I don't want to loose my materials.

For RC, do you guys blind review by reading the stimulus and going through the questions? Or do you just forget blind review, and go straight to J.Y. explanations? Or both?

Hey guys! I know not everything works the same way for everybody (don't worry this is not going to be a LR question) but what has worked best for you in terms of brain warm up before taking a practice test?

This recently tripped me up...

But just wondering what words or phrases in an RC passage would indicate that an author is neutral towards a particular subject/theory etc.

Hi,

First time poster, long time lurker. Currently, I am making some slow progress with my PTs. My recent tests have moved from a 155, 156, and most recently a 157. Slow and steady? maybe? A major trend that I am experiencing with all my PTs is that I run out of time on each section and end up guessing 15-20 questions per test (e.g., 1 passage in RC, 1 game in LG, and usually the last 5 questions of each LR section). My blind reviews range from the 169-175- if that matters? Thus, my question is to ask the advice of the 7sage community- how can I improve my speed so I can actually answer those questions that Im guessing? Any help would be greatly appreciated and any similar stories of success with this lagging brain problem would be greatly motivating. Help me 7sage, you're my only hope.

Hi Guys,

I've been progressing in 7sage at roughly a topic per day with 87 days until the actual test. I only have the basic plan. The first thing it tells you to do is to take the 2007 test..Should I use this as a baseline or my score of 132 when I took a PT the first time without any prep at all. I'm not sure how to access other PTs on this site, but what rate should I be doing PTs? One a week, more or less? If you know how to access PTs here or through another method please tell me how.

Also, is there any place on this site where we can practice certain sections and if so how do I access it? If not, what supplemental material would you recommend (books, website, etc)

I saw someone make this comment on the discussion board.

"All I can say is that one full month with your full concentration on 7sage 10 hours a day will actually improve your LSAT score by at least 20 points. Ask around and you will confirm my statement."

Thoughts?/Any actually experience this kind of jump?
