Looking for someone to study with for the June 2014 LSAT. I've been studying awhile for this test, so I have most of the concepts down. I'm in the Midwest, so please consider different time zones. Thanks.

Alex.

Nothing I can do about it now except cry silent tears. The person's first name is missing a letter (so Wayne is now Waye). I'm hoping no one notices.

Lesson to others - CHECK EVERYTHING IN LSAC ACCOUNT. Proofread EVERYWHERE, not just your essays. (sigh)

Looking for around 3 people to join the group. Any more tends to result in a clusterf...

Will be on discord.

This is for people taking October , only.

7sagers that have done the CC preferred.

The point of this group is to go over LR sections, aprox. 3 times a week. During the morning, and afternoons depending on schedule.

Full time LSAT study members preferred with open schedules.

Avg PT score of 160+ preferred.

Repeat flex testers preferred.

Headset with MIC required for discord to go over LR sections. (Webcam not required.)

Anything above PT 65 would be ideal, so this is mainly for people looking to do the mid 60s , 70s, 80s.

Send me a DM if you are interested. I know this seems strict, but just trying to get the right people.

We are very proud of 7Sage's Admissions Consultant, Shruti Swamy, whose new collection of short stories is out! See below for more details.

A House Is a Body: Stories

Dreams collide with reality, modernity with antiquity, and myth with identity in the twelve arresting stories of A House Is a Body. In "Earthly Pleasures," a young painter living alone in San Francisco begins a secret romance with one of India's biggest celebrities, and desire and ego are laid bare. In "A Simple Composition," a husband's professional crisis leads to his wife's discovery of a dark, ecstatic joy. And in the title story, an exhausted mother watches, hypnotized by fear, as a California wildfire approaches her home. Immersive and assured, provocative and probing, these stories reveal small but intense moments of beauty, pain, and power that contain the world. A House Is a Body introduces a bold and original voice in fiction, from a writer at the start of a stellar career.

Hello 7Sagers,

I have been doing untimed sections from the 40's and 50's and have been still missing questions. I'm pretty solid on understanding the stimulus but the AC's always seem to trip me up. If anybody would like to go through these LR sections with me and we can go over the questions to really understand what the stimulus is saying and work through the AC's showing how the right one is right and the wrong one is wrong I would love to have a Zoom/Video chat session to go over them. I'm available on Fridays and Saturdays all day. If interested just comment below or PM me!

More snow here on the East Coast, all schools are shut down in NY & NJ... another storm. Another push back. If you're like me pending to hear from some schools in these areas, don't be surprised if we get a delayed response yet again :(

Hey everyone!

For the last month I've been stuck in the low-mid 160s. My BR scores are consistently low 170s-mid 170s. I take 3 timed PTs a week and then on the in between days I drill the areas that I am struggling with (mostly LG and recently RC). I am taking the October LSAT and am starting to get nervous about if I will ever close this gap between BR and my timed PTs. How long and in what way were you able to close this gap? Thank you so much!

Disregard

Hi guys I'm in dire need of advice. I scheduled for the August flex thinking I'd have enough time to study and get the score I want, however, that's not the case at all. I'm 2 weeks away from the test. I tried to reschedule some time ago, but the deadline already passed. Has anyone ever tried rescheduling last minute with the LSAC before? and if it worked for you at all?

.

Hi everyone!

Thought i'd share my little snafu in hopes of preventing this from happening to anyone else. After endlessly reading 7sage discussion boards of what to do the day before the test, I went to the gym to get a nice workout in to "clear my mind." Well, if you have not been to the gym in a while because you've been studying or because quarantine has closed your gym up until now, this might be a BAD idea.

I ended up working out for a couple hours and herniating a disc in my back and was unable to move. Full on flat on the floor lying on ice and heat for 24 hours. Thank GOD the LSAT Flex lets you reschedule your time. I changed my test to today (Monday) and was able to recover enough to get through it.

Moral of the story - don't do anything too intense at the gym the day before!! :-P

Is anyone else struggling with trying to get peace and quiet at home? I had to quit a prep test in the CC today because no matter how hard I try, I can get total quiet at my house. I'm very worried about taking the lsat flex in these conditions but everything is shut down.

Is it really difficult to get a job at a big firm as an international student from t16?

I got 168 last time and I might still try applying but I am really concerned about the chances of me getting a right position after law school, since it is not just dime and nickels that costs.

I''m not from undergrad in the states nor does I have citizenship.

If anyone has any knowledge about this kinda issues, I'd really appreciate it if you share your opinions.

I feel like I have no one supporting me, no one competing with me, understanding my struggles, and sacrificing with me. I want this group me to be positive af, informative, and helpful. I take my LSAT in January and just did my 2nd PT and hit 160. I want 170 by January! Here is the link to join https://groupme.com/join_group/61773609/7zGuYuR3

If you take a practice test and later delete it, how does that show up in the Problem Sets section where it says "Taken 1 time" etc., If you have taken the section, but deleted it, will it show up as "Taken 1 time" or as blank?

Long time user of 7Sage here. I've studied for the LSAT for a while now and I scored a 170 on test day and I'm planning to retaking for a high 170s score. My PTs have ranged from 169-178, but I am still quite inconsistent within this range.

I've been considering going through the Core Curriculum. I've watched a few videos before but have never actually sat down to go through the whole thing. I'm now considering going through the CC because I have decided to apply not this upcoming cycle, but the following one, and so I do have more time to study. I'd like to improve in all 3 sections but my current weaknesses are:

Formal Logic (not including conditional logic, but just operating the Most/Some statements and those questions).

Weird games (pattern games, mapping games, circular games in PowerScore language. Think Employee Workpiece game or Virus game).

Rule substitution questions.

Science passages in RC.

Curve-breaker RC/LR questions.

Consistency in all 3 sections (to go from -2 to -3 to -0 to -1 consistency.

I'd say that I'm strong at LG (able to go -0 to -3) but I'm also seeking more consistency. Would you say that the LG portion of the Core Curriculum is worth going through if one has already done all the games there and even watched most the explanation videos for those particular games? Is there anything different between the explanations for LG within the CC vs. the explanation videos for the games taught in the CC (found under Problem Sets > Explanation Videos)? I've heard rave reviews about the LG portion of the CC specifically from quite a few people, so I'm wondering if it's worth going through or whether it's more for someone who's still making a ton of mistakes?

I don't think it's really necessary for me to go through the CC, but I do think that it might help solidify my knowledge and cover any remaining weaknesses I have.

How long did it take you to go through the entire CC (not counting doing the actual PTs included in there)?

I was thinking that I would skip some of the LR/RC Problem Sets because I've developed my own system of allocation for the PTs and I don't have that many fresh PTs left, so I want to be careful not to use up any fresh PTs/sections. How long would just watching the video lessons take (not including the problem sets)?

I would also love any advice about how you went about going through the CC/what to skip/what's important. Did you take a lot of notes? Did any of you high scorers (170+) do something similar where, for a retake, you went back to the fundamentals? Did it pay off to do so?

Hi! I was wondering how I could apply my Phi Alpha Delta one month extension to my account?

Hello,

I am currently looking for a tutor for my January LSAT. I had one for the October LSAT, who was great. I just want to try out new tutoring styles to see if one will click. I reached out a few from the list of tutors on 7sage, but only one responded, leading me to believe not all are currently active. If you have any suggestions of a good tutor (esp for an ESL student scoring in the 150’s), please comment below!

Thank you in advance!

As someone who is by definition an overthinker, I wanted to give those who fall prey to the same way of thinking some encouragement.

Stop overthinking your studies.

Overthinking leads to analysis paralysis where you'll end up worrying/overanalyzing/overthinking your LSAT studies instead of actually doing them.

Get a plan, stick with it, and work hard. The rest will come to you.

Hey does anyone have any links to informative websites discussing the waitlist process and what to do. Also I'm looking for help regarding LOCI; any samples to read from? Thanks.

Hey All! I'm looking for a study partner to review concepts and go over PTs. I live in Long Island but would be willing to come into the city to meet up or we could talk via Skype. I'm scoring in the high 150's and am shooting for 165+. Taking the LSAT in June. Email me if interested vjgogia@gmail.com

Best,

Vijay

Hi! Does anyone have any notes on a google doc or word document they are willing to share? My computer crashed and my notes were lost :(

Over my last 3 PTs (37, 38, 89), I have scored a 158, 174, and 158 again.

Has anyone experienced similarly large differences in scores between PTs?

If so, have you found the cause to be more of a knowledge gap or more from other factors (tiredness, mood, etc)?

I need someone to study with. I am okay with in person or zoom/FaceTime meetings. This journey is something else, and I find it easier when I have someone to study with to be able to discuss this monster with. Any takers?

Hi all,

I've decided to delay my exam to the October 3, 2020 test date in hopes of improving my timing and score -- currently PT-ing in high 140s/low 150s and BR-ing in high 150s, goal score is 165. What are some timing tips to close the real PT/BR gap for LR and RC? I've been BR-ing and drilling on non-PT days, and have seen improvement in my BR, 3-4 point BR gain, in the last couple of weeks but can't seem to improve my actual timed exam score (stuck in low 150s!!).

Second, how have you been studying with 1-2 months left? Drilling your weak areas? How many PT's do you take each week? I've found that taking 2 exams per week (in addition to drilling) is adequate to get a full BR + review of each exam without feeling burnt out but I'm not sure if I'm doing too much/little. If you take more PTs, are you splitting up sections and taking those separately instead of full PTs?

I thought it'd be important to note I'm fortunate enough to have been able to take this summer off in order to study for this exam full-time, but since I'm delaying the test until October I'll be getting a part-time job soon. I'd appreciate any advice or tips you have!
