as a general rule of thumb, what do you guys do regrading watching video explanations after a PT? I know you watch videos you missed on BR. What about the ones you changed and got right under BR or the ones you didn't have time to get to but got correct? In the interest of time you think its okay to not watch those videos... I know the BR instructions says we don't need watch those videos, but the little cursor msg in the PT thing says that I should sometimes lol

Hi everyone,

I am taking the LSAT next week (Feb 8th), and am feeling very discouraged and losing a lot of confidence in myself. I'm from Canada and want to apply to a law school in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where they accept mid 150s-160s. So my goal for this LSAT is around those scores. I've been planning to take the LSAT since last August (2013), with the intention of taking it in October, and then December, and eventually delaying in until this Feb. I'm in my last semester of undergrad, and I have been struggling with keeping up my GPA and studying for this exam (but who isn't?) I don't want to further delay the exam because the application deadline is the beginning of March, so this is my last chance to take it. I've been studying consistently since the beginning of Jan (having already taking a PowerScore course and 7sages course previous to that), but my scores are not where I want them to be. I haven't gotten above a 150, and took a PT yesterday and scored a 146 (the worst I've ever scored). This is really destroying any confidence I have for the LSAT and am honestly just embarrassed because I have been working really hard at this. I've tried different strategies and approaches to see if my scores would improve, but to no avail. My LSAT is in a week, and it's completely unrealistic to think my scores will improve within a week. So I'm at a stand-still because I have been studying very hard, I've been focused, and following the routine that 7sage recommends (waking up at the same time everyday, exercise, eating healthy, etc). Has anyone else struggled with this? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated! I'm totally panicked.

**Please note - I am ONLY applying to Canadian law schools!

Hi,

New student here. I wanted to see, does anyone know of an easy to way to print out all of the materials for an upcoming lesson? If I could see and print all of the attachments (quizzes and such) that are part of each section, that would make the logistics much easier, because then I wouldn't have to spend as much time planning around access to a printer.

Quick poll:

How much of an increase in your score have you seen with the 7sage program. I personally have a +12, which puts me in the 160s. I am wondering though what is the general consciences .

Hey guys,

I don't know if I am the only person having this problem but when I click on to my syllabus to continue my course it takes me to the page that says "Enroll in an online LSAT prep course" but I'm already enrolled and my course doesn't expire until June!!! Please help!

is there a short cut key that allows you to pause a video while you're scrolled down below the box the video is being played in (say b/c you're taking notes but after the answer choice of interest has stopped being talked about you want to pause the video). this is a very particular and perhaps unnecessary question but it would probably save a me several minutes over the span of a couple hours.... lol

I wanted to thank the entire staff of 7sage for your excellent program. My first diagnostic test was in the 130's. I almost thought of giving up on the idea of going to LS. I am a 41 AAM and grasping some of the concepts in LG and LR under timed conditions gave me fits. I got your program and studied for a few weeks for several hours per day. This may not seem significantly high but my score I received today was a 155. I was 5 points off from my goal. I it felt great to know I can get untangle the circle talk and head games. Again thanks to you all!

I find myself often finding something very helpful within the comments and discussion for different lessons.

It would be nice if students could bump up / like / upvote / etc comments so that the most relevant and insightful comments/discussions can be seen.

A feature of this sort will help most later in the site's existence when there are hundreds or thousands of comments on one video.

Hey guys/gals,

I'm a very serious undergrad doing 8 to 12 hours of studying LSAT a day, the rest is dedicated for sleep and school.

Shooting for a 170+

Let me know if anyone is in my area and wants to be as serious, or if someone wants to study online by doing the same LSAT tests, problems, comparing our answers/logic, etc.

English major.

Hey all,

Having a hard time finding material around this website. I see that there are some questions after each lesson as practice to do. But where all the 300+ or 900+ or whatever deal you got printable questions? I can't find the link to that. Also, where can I download and print the 6 or 21 LSAT TESTS? Can't find those either.

I am prepping to take my LSAT June 2014 looking for study partners in the Down Town Long Beach, CA area. Fairly new to the LSAT world.Please LMK if interested!

Hi 7sage(rs),

Should I be following the syllabus as is? I'm starting it now and I am a little bit ahead of schedule based on the syllabus. I noticed that the practice tests aren't until the very end. Should I be following it completely straight through and back to back by taking the 4 exams listed at the end of my syllabus or? Sorry if this question has already been asked. Trying to get the best of this program.

Last time I took Power Score and hardly understood anything that was going on. This time around I'm changing my study habits to studying in the morning prior to work given that I work 40 hour weeks and dedicating my weekends to studying also. Any advice on following the syllabus or not would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to score upper 150s. Thanks!

I plan on taking the June 2014 LSAT should I not receive my ideal score on the Feb. 2014 one.

I have inadequate knowledge as to whether or not having taken the LSAT twice adversely affects my shot at getting into a good law school. Any thoughts?

3 weeks away :) how's it going, February takers? Feeling good? Report!

In a full LSAT, which games are usually the easiest and which ones are the hardest? I thought it was usually the first one is the easiest, then the remaining 3 are a combination of medium games and hard games (2 medium 1 hard, or 2 hard 1 medium). It's always better to start with the easiest ones so I'm wondering if there is any definite order to the level of difficulty of the games.

Would anyone be kind enough to list the prep tests available for download for the premium and ultimate course?

Hey everybody,

I've been going through the curriculum for a few months now and have just taken my first timed PT. I did not do as well as I had hoped. Introducing the timed element to the questions really through me off, which has slightly discouraged me since I was getting most questions right when going through the syllabus. I know it's only the first test, but I would like to maximize my efficiency from this point forward, can I get some feedback from fellow 7Sager's on how you guys handled the timed element once you started taking PT's, and what method you used from this point on to review and enhance your score? Thanks so much everyone.

I teach quite a bit, and have a number of close friends who teach all over, from ESL teachers in other countries to teachers in high schools and universities -- and depending on the community, but especially in university, one thing that constantly comes up from students is this idea that we are living in a post-racial society.

It's hard to imagine anyone really feeling this way -- but what it suggests overwhelmingly is that so, so many people of this and the adjoining generations are completely sheltered from their own privilage.

I spend a lot of my time thinking about and writing about gender and race issues, and when stuff like the link I'm sharing below comes to the surface, it's hard not to feel sick to my stomach for days -- but it's also why this career choice of ours is important.

It doesn't even matter really what type of law you plan to go into. If you want to be a BigLaw partner and do corporate law, great. If you want to do PI work, double great. But on the road to obtaining that job, we will all be living for three years surrounded by the laws of our country. We will come out of that experience at the very least with a deep appreciation for why law is important, and most especially, the POWER that it has to do both great good and permit great evil.

Check this link out. Get angry over it -- please. Add it to your list of reasons why you want to go to law school: whether you want to work actively to end this kind of bullshit or not, one day after graduation you WILL bump into an opportunity to be a part of righting a wrong. This is the world we live in -- and we are going into one of the few professions that has a shot at changing it.

Let's kill the LSAT. Then, let's dominate in law school. Then, let's be the kind of lawyers and citizens that we want to be surrounded with -- and when opportunities arise to make a difference, let's use that education and experience to PROVE that's what we want.

okay guys im preparing to take this Feb one but im having a problem with LR section.

so, when i do the blind review, I always end up changing 4 -5 answers. and end up getting like 3 - 4 wrongs.

I guess the positive side is that those second guessed answers are mostly right

but Im bit worried as it indicates i would have gotten 8 - 9 wrongs without having a chance to second guess myself.

I had this problem for few weeks now

Any tips or suggestions? help!

They're all over the damn internet. Some are written by obnoxious, pompous, and incredibly aggressive individuals hellbent on degrading certain schools. http://thirdtierreality.blogspot.com/2011/03/pioneers-in-solid-waste-second-tier.html

Others are a bit nicer about what they're saying, but still carry the same message. Essentially, you'd be an idiot in going to law school. http://insidethelawschoolscam.blogspot.com/

How do you guys feel about these blogs? I can't say I'm too happy about their existence as well as the fact that they pop up whenever I'm browsing law schools. A bit discouraging to say the least. Is this all bullshit? All true? Are we all idiots for taking the LSAT and trying to go to law school?

I've noticed that all of my incorrect answers can usually be found in the range of 13-19. Do the questions get harder around this range or is it just me? I was thinking of speeding through the first ten questions to have more time to tackle the ones in the range mentioned above. Any thoughts?

Hi everybody! I am new to the 7sage community and I am finding that I am waaaay too slow at these questions! Is that the case with anyone else? On the problem sets I set a fifteen minute timer, and I often have one or two questions left when it goes off! That is pretty bad because that means that I am spending over a minute on each question and probably suggests that I should skip. In general, I think the problem may be choosing my answer choice because I narrow down to two answer choices and then I get stuck deliberating them for only God knows how long! Does anyone have any tips on improving speed other than taking practice tests over time?

Just curious -- I noticed that all of the difficulty ratings seemed to adjust yesterday or the day before, with most of the sections now being rated significantly more difficult than they were before.

Thanks in advance for your response :)

Looking a study buddy in the Indy area, but am open to studying with others via Skype. I am pretty dedicated and looking for person with whom I and he/she can keep each other focused when we get antsy and want to go do other things. Also bounce ideas and problems off each other. if anyones interested let me know!

Best,

Jake
