Hi all,

I am new to 7sage. Previously, I used a Kaplan prep course that was from Jan-March. During this time, I had a few hiccups in life and couldn't dedicate all the time I intended to my LSAT prep but did learn what seems to be the fundamentals. In the last month, I have hunkered down and devoted a lot more time to studying and reached a plateau in my progress, especially when it comes to Logic Games. That is how I ended up at 7sage.

Right now, I am scoring a 162, and I want to raise my score at least 10 points. I work full time but still plan on devoting about 20 hours to studying each week. I was initially planning on taking the August LSAT. However, the 7sage ideology of not studying with a specific deadline and instead studying for the greatest possible score I can achieve really resonated with me. That being said, I am looking for advice on how to use all the resources of 7sage. My questions are:

  • Since I have done a Kaplan course already, should I be going through all the resources in the CC? Or should I get to the preptests using the foolproof method and BR a little quicker?

  • Is it feasible to still try to take the August lsat, now about 3 months away, intending to increase my score ten points with 7sage? I don't mind pushing it back. But if possible, I would like to take it so I can still apply this cycle.

  • What do people think is the latest one can take the LSAT and still competitively apply for an application cycle? I was thinking August but wanted to hear everyone's thoughts.

    • Thanks in advance!

    Just decided to postpone last minute cuz my scores weren’t consistent and I really wanted a 170+ and it would be my fifth take... feeling pretty defeated ;/

    I really hope this isn’t a mistake. but excited to work with all the November test takers!!

    Does anyone know how to get a hold of someone to ask about live classes? I study mostly in the evening pretty late, and I was hoping to ask someone about getting different classes at night as they seem to rotate relatively similar classes.

    Thanks!

    I recently completed the core curriculum and decided to take PT 36 completely untimed. I scored a 172, and although I know this is not indicative how I will perform under actual testing conditions, does anyone have tips on how to improve timing? I am aiming to hit the 170+ range timed by the end of August (not sure if this is reasonable).

    I was listening to an older 7sage LSAT podcast from before this new website was launched and they were talking about changing the settings on the analytics page to show more updated stats from the last 3 PTs taken. Is there a way to do this on the new website? I'm not sure if I'm missing it, but it would be super helpful to track recent progress. Thanks!

    Proctors: Laid back and professional. Although, for one of the sections they forgot to call out the 5 minute warning... good thing I had my watch.

    Facilities: Clean, comfortable, easily accessed. I walked from my apartment but there are parking facilities on campus so driving shouldn't be difficult. Brought a sweater but didn't need it -- comfortable temperature.

    What kind of room: Lecture hall.

    How many in the room: 30-40

    Desks: Long tables. We were spaced about two chair lengths apart.

    Left-handed accommodation: N/A but wouldn't have been a problem since it was tables not desks.

    Noise levels: There was camp for young kids going on next door and they were incredibly loud but none of the sound came through the walls. We could only hear it during the break and beforehand.

    Time elapsed from arrival to test: 30 minutes.

    Would you take the test here again? Oh hell yeah. Ideal conditions in my opinion.

    Date[s] of Exam[s]: June and July 2018.

    Just a thread for fun and some motivation. Any stories, hopefully positive, here of people pulling all nighters or spurts of no sleep in law school? I would imagine there are perhaps many interesting 1l stories? Just curious because I am graduating from undergrad in 3 months and haven’t got much sleep lately even during my break. I’ve just been reading lots of nonfiction for fun to increase my reading capacity. In retrospect, I thought I did a lot of reading in undergrad but now am beginning to realize I didn’t even know the half of it.

    Update: the chat lounge experiment has been concluded. Thank you all for participating!

    Hey 7Sagers,

    This week, we'll be hosting a global chat space. While the room is open, you can join here.

    This event is intended to gauge community interest in a more permanent sitewide chat space. Pose a question, review some material together, or maybe meet a new study buddy!

    Note that this is a space for student interaction, and the number of people in the room will vary throughout the day. If you're interested in chatting with other 7Sagers but don't see anyone in the room at the time, I encourage you to pop out the chat panel and just leave it running. You can separate Zoom's chat into its own window by clicking the button at the top right corner of the panel:

    alt="popout_chat_panel"/>

    The chat lounge will be open 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Eastern Time) from 1/22 through 1/26.

    Let us know what you think in this thread. What features do you look for in a chat space? If there were multiple spaces dedicated to different LSAT topics, what would you be most interested in seeing?

    Hi!

    Has anybody taken the LSAT at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center?

    Can you describe your experience there? (types of chairs, desks/tables, air conditioning, proctors, etc.)

    I took the LSAT at McGeorge Law School (Sacramento, CA) in July. I've been taking practice tests and preparing for the LSAT at the McGeorge location all year. I'm a little nervous retaking it at a place I've never been.

    When an answer choice says “it is a statement that the argument provides grounds to accept and from which the overall conclusion is inferred”, is this essentially the premise.

    Or is the premise “it is a premise offered in support of an intermediate conclusion of the argument “?

    We the people want to know

    Hey guys,

    The last few weeks I’ve been trying to fool proof the logic games section and I stopped reviewing my lr notes.

    I dont know what to do because I literally forgot a lot of stuff. Should I restart the lr section of the cc?

    I forgot how to answer a lot of the questions. I’m not sure what to do. And if I do remember how to it’s really rusty.

    I work full time I’m not exactly sure how to approach the lr section this time. While continueing to move forward reading comp after the logic games.

    Any advise will help.

    Thanks guys

    I am an older applicant and am going to hire a professional service to research my background for any character and fitness issues. I had a situation come up that caused me to have significant retrograde amnesia that is likely not reversible. My family and friends tell me there is nothing major in my past in terms of C and F, but I will not be able to vouch for the absence or presence of some of the smaller issues myself that could have happened in college, etc., which is now many moons ago. Should I write a short addendum explaining such?
