Sometimes, when I come to this website sometimes it says it is undergoing maintenance. Other times it does not. Not sure what is going on? When I go to the section video I need to watch, nothing is playing. I really need to study, and I am going to fall behind. What can I do?

I am well through halfway of my PowerScore bibles (LG and LR, just started RC) but just started 7Sage two days ago. What should I do at this point? Keep reading both or just focus on 7Sage? I am studying for the February 2015 LSAT. Can anyone tell me specific advantages to either method? I am just scared of getting confused b/t the Bibles and 7Sage. Thanks!

Hi! I am new to 7Sage and just started my online videos/classes today. I am signed up for the Feb 2015 LSAT. I'm just wondering, should I be doing practice lsat sections/tests while I am still learning the material to track my progress or do it at the end? When should I start drilling sections basically is my question. Thanks!!

Sorry if this post doesn't belong in this category because it's about law school applications. I currently am in the process of getting my letters of recommendation from professors. Does anyone know if there is a limit on how many letters of rec you can enter into the LSAC account? I want to get more than four letters and send different ones to different schools I am applying. I would also rather get more than four in case one professor will not finish in time and delay me from applying early. Also, what is everyone's opinion on the LSAC evaluation forms? I'm leaning on not using them as they could potentially hurt my application... I know a letter of rec can only say good things about me, but an evaluation form could say something negative.

Did anyone check out the "Bruce" voice in the 7sage proctor app? If not, I would definitely recommend that you do... :)

I am ok on Parallel Method of Reasoning questions. But, I occasionally encounter those confusing PMRs. So, I am a little bit confused that are we paralleling "the form of the argument" or "the assumptions" of the argument in the stimulus. Some easy questions like "All A are B, not B, therefore not A" are obvious that the right answer present the exact contrapositive statement, while the wrong ones may involve inversion or conversion or existentials. But for less obvious PMRs, it confused me when the right answer's "physical structure" is so different from the originals. These confusing questions seem more like a principle questions in which we extract a generalized principle and apply to each answer choices.

So, could some explain to me what PMR really is. Thank you so much

I live in the Chicagoland area. I am planning to take the December or February LSAT. I want to pace myself through all the lessons and take one practice test each week. If anyone is interested in studying the same way, I would like to bounce ideas back-n-forth. Skype would be ideal.

Thanks,

I started off by doing all of the assignments online and I was just annotating the PDF's and taking notes. Then I got frustrated because I wasn't doing as well as I had hoped, so I started printing off LG sets and PT's. 900 pages later, I think I singlehandedly killed the environment, but my scores have increased substantially. Maybe this is a mental block, but I really perform much better when I can scribble all over the thing. Suggestions? I really don't want to kill all the trees.

PS I am recycling the paper when I am done.

When you complete a practice test are you supposed to circle the questions that require blind review during the test? Or after the test is completed. Lately, I have just completed tests, rested, then came back and completed the entire test over again without time pressure. I think that's what blind review is, but something in my gut tells me it is wrong.

I am about to begin my PT practice. I would like to hear from my fellow 7Sagers and see what you think is the best way to approach my next level of LSAT prep. This is my plan thus far:

- Begin with taking 1 per week and focusing on Blind Review and weaknesses (for example, if I see that I am having trouble with Parallel Method of Reasoning, I will find some of these questions in older PT's and go back to 7Sage's lesson).

- As I progress, I will increase the number of PT's I take per week, but only up to 3 max.

Thank you for any suggestions you have to offer.

Is there a place where I can find all the pdf files so I can print out them all at once. Sometimes I am studying at the library where I don't have access to a printer.

Is there anyone in LA (koreatown area) studying for the Sept 2014 LSAT? I could really use a study buddy. I work full-time, so evenings or weekends work best for me. Shoot me a message if you're down to study with me!

If I want to go to say, session 18 or 20 after I logged out, is there a way where I can go straight to 18 the next time, or do I just need to start with 1 and click next 17 more times to get to where I left off? Just wondering if there is a quicker way each time I log out.

Hi, my name is Erika, I'm looking for a study buddy in the Austin area. if you're interested: e.gtz157@gmail.com

I'm in Carrollton and looking for a study buddy for the September LSAT. My goal is to break 170, but I'm willing to study with anyone provided s/he is kind and hard-working.

Why do the February LSAT's not become available as PT's?

What techniques do you guys use to figure out whether a particular question that is NA requires a bridge or a block? I tend to use the negation test almost always and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Will they do it before September so that we can use this to prepare for the September test? Many thanks!

Hey guys so I used 7sage here to help me reach my goal of 163 on June LSAT with 4 weeks of studying. I crammed the LSAT in that time, crunching PT 50-71 and doing the entire course with Power LR/RC bible. With that being said I under performed on this LSAT to my PTs, going -14 on RC. Any advice on how to prepare for a September retake? Anything under 170 really won't help me very much either.

Guys, when you're exercising or commuting or just putzing around, listen to the podcasts from Radiolab and Planet Money. From a content point of view, you'll learn a ton about science (both natural and social). The way the subjects are discussed is highly intelligent and the entire conversation is a series of arguments and counterarguments that ultimately reveal something deeply fascinating about the world we live in.

So, basically the polar opposite of cable news, where nothing interesting is ever discussed and no intelligent arguments are ever made.

Oh I almost forgot. This will improve your LSAT score.

Anyone receive the score yet?

Q25 Answer Choice (D) states "Draws a conclusion about a specific belief based on responses to queries about two different specific beliefs."

What does it mean exactly?

And why is it a wrong answer?

Help please!

Let me preface this by saying that I know my advice (if I can even call it that) won't apply to all nor will my situation mirror all, but I just wanted to share my experience for those who will eventually struggle with the decision to cancel.

I took the June 2014 LSAT, felt I did poorly on a RC that most people felt was easy, and then had two LG and struggled on both. Going in my average was a 171 but the day before the test I had gotten a 166 on a PT. When I left I thought my realistic scenario for a score was a 166-168. By the time I got home I had started to worry about everything though (smudges, skipped questions, and even whether I had done an entire section wrong by accidentally skipping one bubble). I didn't cancel but I've been reading posts from other who mentioned cancelling scores they felt were going to turn out similar to mine.

For the last three nights, I have had nightmares about botching entire sections and bombing the whole test. I had basically resigned myself to accept the low score I thought I knew I was going to get, and to make sure to cancel on my next test if it felt it was going similarly. As you might have guessed, I ended up doing well (actually a personal best at 176). My advice to others thinking about cancelling or struggling with similar anxiety is to not take someone else's analysis of their of their test and (even subconsciously) apply it to your own. The waiting period is bound to make you question yourself, and in some cases a cancellation might make sense. However, I suspect that for a large number of cancellations, fear and anxiety rob someone of what would have been a perfectly acceptable score. Just a positive experience from not cancelling that I thought I'd share.

Hey I just took PT 49 - just a heads up...

On the first page of Section 4 (LR) it says 22 questions. This messed up my timing a bit.

My score is in the high 160's....but my goal is to score above 173...

I've pretty much completed my course online, and I've practiced blind review for about a month now. I just took preptest 40...and my score has not budged.

I swear, my score has not budged since February. It's so funny because my score is so predictable. For some people it's a range, but for me, it's usually the same exact number time after time....and it's the same score it's been since February.

I am so disappointed because I've worked so hard and have seen little improvement. I'm starting to think I'm not smart enough...Anyone else feel the same way?
