Hello fellow 7Sagers,

I would like your opinion. I will be starting the PT stage for December and of course will be extensively reviewing those. I won't have time, clearly, for PTs 35-70+. I plan on doing something like ~45 or ~55 - 70+. Luckily, I am pretty naturally inclined to perform decent on RC. Of course my timing could use help, but I'm fairly accurate. During the PT stage, I'll mix in some practice of logic games, doing games several times over in my spare time in order to stay fresh. My only concern, though, is not getting my eyes on enough LR questions that will allow me to master the section. I will be able to see where I'm at after a few PTs on the LR sections, but I'd like to be able to get my eyes on as many of them as I can. I don't have the money to buy all of the packets for LR. Would it suit me best to see where I'm at after a few PTs and then maybe target my problem questions with packets? OR, do you believe that just doing PTs and reviewing extensively will be enough for me to get down LR? Thanks in advance for the help and helping to create such a great community to turn to!

Let me know! Doesn't matter which LSAT you plan to take. I am already reasonably well versed in everything LSAT, but I'm out to vary my approach by studying with a partner/group. PM me if you're interested.

How different is the Experimental Section compared to what we are used to? I'm concerned that I'm going to get thrown off and frustrated if one of the sections throws me for the loop (i.e. an Experimental Section).

Any insight into this section?

thanks.

hello all! has anyone had the chance to study CC V1 and CC V2 and recommend one more than other? I have taken the LSAT before but I’m studying to take it again so since I am familiar with the test, I was leaning towards V2 to refresh my mind but also want the most detailed. Any suggestions?

Hi!

I am having some trouble at the start of PT to get my head into the test.

Is there any tactics you guys use to get you started? I do warm up with 15q of LR and 2 games.

I feel like its my anxiety mostly that kinda eats me up at the beginning of the test.

What's your strategy with the notes? I personally copy and paste everything in the text into it and print it all out so I can highlight/annotate it. It's basically the same thing JY is saying right? I feel like I can't grasp the ideas and retain it without a hard copy to work with. If you guys have other ways to take down notes since this is an online course that's better, let me know. I'm using a lot of paper but I feel like it's worth it. Thanks!

Hi 7Sage! I love this forum, sorry to pester you all again with walls of text.

Background: I started studying the June 2007 test. I did well on the RC/LR sections but only got halfway through the second game of the LG section before I hit 35 minutes. I think I got three wrong so ended up 6/23 for the section. Since then my entire focus has been on logic games. I've probably printed out some 40 games and completed them under timed conditions, and I've read the entire Powerscore LG Bible. I still can't complete 4 games in 35 minutes consistently. It's easily my weakest section despite putting all my focus on it.

I knew there was no chance I could study for the February exam with school going on so I decided to take last December's while I was traveling so I could see where I was at. I missed an entire game on the LG section (filled in all Ds for it so I might have gotten me a point or two) and scored a 166.

Since then I've taken 4 timed PTs and scored very well when I complete the LG section in time (172, 175) and worse when I don't (166, 167). Generally I lose very little on RC/LR (they're about equal losses for me) and that hasn't really changed since I started taking tests. That said I think the only way I'm getting accepted into a decent law school in Canada with my abysmal GPA (the program I'm in is terrible for GPA but that's another story) is with a T14 level LSAT. So I know that in all likelihood if continual drilling of LG sections is not improving my speed anymore I really need to be able to count on a -0/1/2 for each of the other three sections.

BUT I also know that reading about LGs dramatically changed how I approach them and how I think about them. In some ways it's good, in some ways I think it's actually slowed me down (surely a lot of my improvement can be chalked down to repetition). I am very nervous about studying RC/LR extensively only to destroy some innate logic I've developed before the LSAT or to slow down my reasoning as I usually finish those sections with 1-2 minutes. I'm also worried of making my logic formulaic (as stupid as that might sound), because the way I approach RC/LR right now feels pretty organic, and the way I do LG feels totally formulaic.

Of the questions I've gotten wrong, no type stands out. The only similarity between them is that they were all 4/5 star difficulty questions, but I have no types of question to drill/learn about specifically. So for anyone who has been at the point where they average -3/-5 or something like that on LR/RC and wanted to take that down to consistent -0/-2 did you manage it? And how did you go about doing it? Or if anyone found LR/RC came naturally to them did you find studying those sections specifically was actually detrimental? And if anyone thinks it's worth studying LR/RC, what would you say I should start with material wise? As for LG, is there any better speed improving strategy than to drill?

Sorry this is so long or if it all comes off as paranoid. I'm just feeling a little nervous after talking to schools and finding out the level of score I'll have to get to be accepted anywhere decent and am kind of lost on how to move forwards from here.

If you have an interest in being a part of this, please message me with your current score, your target score, what you have studied so far (i.e. only 7sage? or other programs as well?,) and when would work best for you (I am thinking to do this over Skype on the weekends.)

Good luck!

Looking for accountability study buddies online in preparing for the June test

Hey guys,

I have a quick question for those who have ordered prep tests from Lsac.org. If I order a prep test from Lsac.org, is the test mailed to me or is there an option where I can download it unto my computer and print it out?

The most difficult for me is the Logical Reasoning and I was wondering if anyone had a perfected study guide for me use. I would really appreciate it! Im taking the LSAT in February and am in dying need of help on this one section as of now!

I will be visiting Bulgaria and plan to move there (Sofia) next year. Are there many people doing LSAT these days?

I am registered to take the Aug LSAT and been "prepping" since April. Today I took another full length test (3rd one so far), and scored a 159 which is my highest score yet and a 4 point increase from my first practice test that I took at the beginning of April. In that time, I have been focusing mostly on LGs with some LR (necessary assumptions, flaw, and POI mostly). The majority of my improvement came from LGs, went from went from 13 incorrect to 7 incorrect. My LR score has stayed consistent across all three practice tests (around 60% correct), and my RC score has decreased from 100% to around 80%.

My target score is 167. Does that sound realistic based on my current progress? or would ~163-5 be more attainable? Also, what area should I focus on most to generate the greatest score increase in the remaining study time that I have? One item of note, because of a change in more work schedule, I have ~10 more hours to study per week that I have had in the previous months. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello!

I'm fresh off the boat on 7Sage and I'm wanting to take full advantage of the "study buddies" feature. I would be perfectly content with just an online partner but if there was anyone fairly close to Parkersburg or Vienna, West Virginia that would be even better!

Thanks!

Hello! I took the June 2023 LSAT and got a score I'm really happy with, but I am looking to retake in August so I can score a few points higher, which will hopefully put me above the median LSAT for a few of my top schools. I've been taking PTs (both timed and untimed) and reviewing them, however I can't seem to get a score above the mid-160s. Any advice on how to break out of this plateau? I'm not really sure what my next move should be.

Hi everyone,

I am just beginning my LSAT study journey and working through Foundations in V2 of the CC. For the quizzes such as complex arguments, for, since, because and others how many times have you guys retaken the quizzes to get the correct answers?

Here is what I am doing:

If I get the question right on the first try I do not retake the question. However, if I get it wrong, I retake the quiz and answer the questions until I get them correct twice.

What do you guys advise?

ill be done with the CC sometime this week and I am taking the October LSAT, i was wondering how often a week should i be taking a practice test and is one a day to much?

hi, after taking the LSAT last August I am gearing up to take it again. I have done most of the course work on 7sage but tried to take a practice exam recently and realized I had forgotten a lot. I want to know what is the best strategy for studying, should I begin the course from scratch and watch all the videos?

Aidin Again,

As the deadline is getting closer and I am getting busier with the LSAT I am looking for someone in Orange County or southern california area that can help me with picking schools, sending applications, looking over my material, help me with personal statement and etc. This would help tremendously by taking some weight off my shoulder with this application process. We could discuss donation amount depending on the quality and the amount of work the person is capable of. If you or anyone you know does this please send me his/her info to me Firouziaidin@gmail.com.

Thank you !

I don't want to get ahead of myself. But I just finished up taking the LSAT and feel pretty confident about it. Screwed up a tidge during the games, but nothing too crazy. (Got preoccupied and ran out of time, had to guess on the last 4). But I felt great during LR, and RC didn't seem to be that different either. I'm hoping all goes as planned, I end up with the score I've been getting during my PTs and I leave this test in the dust, BUT... in the slim chance that the games ends up coming back to haunt me my question is where do I go from here? I have taken the majority of the tests 50-70 and scattered tests from 20-40 throughout my studies and preparing. (I started studying last March). So my question is where would I start IF I need to retake? Am I getting to ahead of myself? I figured if that does happen I would opt to wait until Feb instead of rushing it in Dec. right after I get my score. What are your thoughts on this? How could I continue after close to 9-10 months of using so much material? Any input or ideas that you guys have if you have seen this scinero before would be awesome. Thanks!

Hi! I will be a junior at Penn State, University Park this year. I am taking the Feb 2015 LSAT. Any fellow 7sage users that would be willing to study with me this fall semester? I am going to aim to average at minimum a test a week. I want a 165+ and with a bad diagnostic score I have a long climb. So let me know if your interested! E-mail me at milipatel23@gmail.com

Hi, please offer your advice! I have now finished LR and RC core lessons - I have no more lessons next. I have decided to take no LG August version, so still have -AMPLE- time to study. I am currently scoring in the low to mid 160's (last PT I scored a 164) and my dream score is 170+. I am extremely determined to get into a T6-T14 and have allocated the time to get my score where it needs to be.

My question is - now that I have finished all the core curriculum... what's next? Should I focus on drilling LR and then RC, work on my problem areas, then begin regularly PTing? Should I switch to books, then go back to 7sage in a few months? I have the Loophole book ready to read. Should I wait to consistently PT until the beginning of Spring to save my tests for when I'm more ready and closer to test date? Should I be focusing on drilling everday? Redo the lessons?

Really just asking what your next steps would be / what your study plan would look like. Any advice is helpful, thanks and good luck to you all!

Is there a shortcut to a locating a specific webinar or a webinar category via the 7Sage app?

Would anyone in the Philly/Delco region (and beyond as long as you're willing to make the trip) like to get together on Saturday, September 13th to take a practice exam? The 7sage proctor with the background noise is great, but I can think of a few bodily noises that it's missing. Nothing like the real thing, but we can come close (to the test simulation I mean). Also, a post-exam review session could but doesn't have to figure into the plans for the day.

If there's a group already doing this, please let me know.
