I read an article about a study that claimed the genre of music you listen to affects your intelligence. Then I read another article about a more recent study that claimed that the genre of music you listen to does not affect your intelligence. Regardless of which one of these studies is true I was curios to know what you guys listen to in general or before a practice test. And do you think it affects your test-taking skills?

When I was practicing logic games I was listening to Fabolous' Gettho Fabolous album but am not sure if it helped. Logical Reasoning was damn near impossible to understand while listening to music.

Is it in the morning or afternoon? This is my first LSAT and I want to adjust my PT taking time accordingly. Thanks!

Just wondering what's up with the Advanced Logic lessons? All other lessons seem to be working fine, but none of the lessons in the Advanced Logic section are working. I have tried deleting my cookies and clearing the cache, but it did not resolve the problem. Anyone else having the same problem?

Just took my first prep test and I am super dissapointed. I have been reading so much material on the LSATS and doing logic games since about June. I am completely shattered of the thought of getting a 140 on my real LSAT in sept. I do not know where to begin to improve my score and I am registered to take the LSAT on sept 27th. My goal is to get into the 160s. I have a 3.55 cum GPA. Any advice would be great. I just picked up both the power score bibles for Logical reasoning and Reading Comp. I work full time and also go to college full time while trying to study for the LSAT.

Thanks

I wanted to check my understanding on this question vis. all of yours. I got this question wrong, however, in my blind review, I noted a necessary assumption and wanted to see if it's actually necessary to the argument or if I'm fooling myself.

The n.assumption I identified was that the quality of the teachers are more important to the quality of the education than the size of the class. If this weren't true -- if something was more influential to the quality of the education than the quality of the teachers, e.g. class size -- then I don't see a way for the argument to possibly function, however, this isn't the answer. The answer states that there aren't any available qualified teachers. So I was wondering if the assumption I identified is truly required and just isn't one of the answer choices listed, or if I'm really deluded on this issue. Thanks!

Hey, everyone,

I'm kind of at a crossroads with LSAT prep and potentially where I should go to law school. I'd love to know what you guys think!

First, my practice tests are going ok so far (mid-160's as of now) and I am currently signed up for the September LSAT. My goal is to get in the upper 160's on the real thing. I want to apply for law school starting next August/September as well. Should I try and switch my test date to the December LSAT to give myself more study time, or will that be too close to send applications?

Second, if I do well on the LSAT I'm a strong candidate to receive a full ride scholarship to a fourth-tier law school. Should I go where the money is, or is it worth taking on the debt and go for a higher ranked law school?

Thanks,

Nick

Hello, as the discussion title states, I am wondering why there is such a big difference. I have been studying for about 5 weeks and finally took my first PT (the June 2007) and scored 146. After Blind Reviewing, I managed to score a 167. Can someone please help me explain why there's such a big difference and what I can do to actually score my Blind Review score in future PT's I take? Thanks!

Does anyone have the LSAT Ultimate? Did you find significant help from it, and did you see results in your scores?

Which one should I choose, if I had to choose one? I can only afford one....

The reason why I am upgrading is because I recently I took a really hard hit...I've been working on the most recent prep tests and my score, which was averaging around 168-170, dropped to 160-163...

One thing that I thought was really helpful about 7sage was listening to JY review the tests. When I take the actual tests, I can hear his voice in my head and it actually helps me go faster...

I am taking the LSAT in September and really banking on getting a high score. Both semesters freshman year I received sub 3.0 GPA's (2.7 and 2.3), but ever since I have received above a 3.9 in much more difficult courses. Therefore, a high LSAT will further legitimize my progress from freshman year and show that my overall GPA is not truly reflective of me as a student, which is about 3.45 now. I have heard that you can send in an application early, and once you receive your LSAT score can quickly add it. Would it be detrimental to send my application early to some of my more prospective schools or should I wait to start the application process after I receive my score if I believe it will drastically improve my resume? Or will they see my GPA and have a weaker outlook towards me from the onset?

With 34 days left (that's 5 full weeks before "LSAT Saturday") I wanted to ask what everyone's study habits and schedules look like in order to give the 7sage September LSAT community a feeling of belonging, in the sense that there's more than one person here who is routinely sleeping at X:o'clockPM, waking up at Y:o'clockAM, and taking Z amount of PTs a week. It's easy to feel discouraged as time winds down.

What time do folks sleep and wake up? How often are you taking PTs in a week? How many days are you resting? What else do you do when you aren't studying? And any other routines and habits regarding your LSAT study schedule will be much appreciated. Thanks :)

I suppose the title is self-explanatory, but I ran across a question in particular (LSAT 58, Section 4, Question 21) regarding lottery winners and television viewers. I ALMOST selected "D" but felt it was just too close to the conclusion to be the right answer. Essentially, I figured the answer choice was just restating the conclusion. As a result, I went with "B" even though I had reservations (this alone should have prevented me from selecting "B").

So down to it: will an Assumption Question answer choice ever feature a restating of the conclusion or premise? Or will the seemingly like sentence simply be a minute assumption that demands a more detailed eye? Hope this question makes sense, and I look forward to anyone's help!

Hi,

I was wondering if any one had any suggestions or advice on when I should start worrying about RC timing. I have been doing practice passages for about two weeks and am still having a hard time with staying under the time limits of the memory method, however i am very accurate. Any suggestions on how I can improve?

Do you guys ever wonder about the people writing the lsat? My image of them is that they sit around a big wooden table and think and every once in awhile someone will say, "Hey, get a load of this one," and they laugh and say, "Yeah, that'll throw 'em, let's do it."

Hi,

I'm not using any of these test prep books because of what I've read on law school forums about how they're not very helpful and not "actual" LSAT questions. But I'm just curious to know, what makes them unhelpful? Is the making of an LSAT question so complex that it's just impossible to replicate unless you are an LSAT test writer?

I'm surprised that no one has asked this.

Mr. Ping seems to be someone that just "gets" it from the very beginning. Maybe he wasn't superb at Logic Games when he started prepping, but would it be a fair for me to make the assumption that his LR and RC skills were already at a high level?

Now that I've bought the course and listened to dozens of his videos to the point where I hear his voice when doing LSAT questions (especially LG), I now suspect that Mr. Ping is a LSAT "natural".

What was your cold diagnostic score, Mr. Ping?

Hi guys!

During my practice tests I have noticed that when I have 6-7 minutes left (Around Q21) in the LR section I start to lose focus and having to reread the question stem for stressing over not finishing the questions on time, even though I know its possible for me to do so. Do you have any advice or specific technique you use?

Hi all,

I am looking to form a small group of people interested in taking at least one practice test a week until the upcoming LSAT under actual conditions. I already have a few people involved but would love to get a few more on board. Not sure on exactly where we will meet up but we can decide that as a group. Hope to hear from some of you!

Best Regards and good luck

If 7 sage came out with a T shirt , i'd buy it. Just sayn.

Hi admin, et al...

I have noticed a 5 point difference between my scores from older test vs. more recent (30s vs 60s), with the lower scores being the most recent. Are the newer tests simply more challenging than those from ten years ago? Should I really only be basing my potential score estimates on newer tests? Should I save those recent tests for last? Anyone else notice this same effect?

I just want to make sure that my increase in score is not an artifact of the test difficulty itself.

Thanks!

Is RC similar to LG and LR in regards to the more sections you do it the more you will notice similar questions and therefore be better prepared to answer. I am struggling with this section

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-69-section-4-question-02/

Can someone explain why answer A is incorrect I really can't understand.

Thanks

Okay. So, this may sound stupid, but I THOUGHT that I was only able to take the September LSAT, so I've been studying since June & have stressed about it constantly. I must have misheard or misunderstood something, but it turns out that I can take the DECEMBER LSAT and still am able to apply for Law School that following September. Which is great - it gives me an extra 3.5 months to study.

I'm considering taking the beginner package on this website. Right now I score between 152-155 on the practice tests I've taken, and I am registered for a 30 hour LSAT course in late September, but I want to do something more. I'm thinking that studying on my own can only get me so far.

So I'm wondering - do you guys recommend taking the prep through 7Sage? From everything I've seen, I would say it would be worth it, but I'm having qualms about it. Specifically, I think I study best with paper, pencil, and a book, but I've already been through two prep books, and my mark isn't budging much. Do you guys find using the website to be effective? Has it improved your mark?

Thanks a lot!

I suppose this is more of an aesthetic problem, but on the main page, and also the analytics pages, I often find that the radio buttons are blocking my most recent scores. Specifically, on the home page, the Section "LSAT Analytics" graph has the top right corner blocked by a layer that says "Scaled, Raw, Percentile." Everything is still functional, but it is an annoyance. If that box were moved, or were a dropdown menu instead, that'd fix it.

I know there is no way to predict this, but... anybody with a hunch that this is happening in the next September 27th LSAT?

September retaker here - my average was in the mid 160s (Feb. 2014, studied by taking all PTs 40 onward, doing the 7Sage Logical Reasoning curriculum, and looking at 7Sage Logic Game explanations) and I'm hoping to break 170 this coming fall!

I'm looking for a study buddy in the Madison area who would be interested in meeting up about once a week for 1-2 hours to talk over pesky questions that keep bothering us even after we pore over them. I had a study buddy in Houston for the Feb. test, and it worked out wonderfully between us - we turned out to be great resources for each other throughout the studying process. I'm hoping to find a great study buddy here in Madison as well!

Anyway, please message me if you're at all interested; I'd love to hear about your progress and would be more than happy to do a number exchange!
