Proctors: Pretty good overall. Stuck to time, no errors with the alarm (had my own watch so it wasn't really an issue). Friendly and gave clear instructions. Had spare pencils as well.

Facilities: OK. Pretty old building and the layout is somewhat confusing. Could only find one bathroom (can fit maybe 7 people at the same time).

What kind of room: auditorium with those swivel desks.

How many in the room: 25ish or so.

Desks: swivel type, not that much space. leave the booklet on your lap.

Left-handed accommodation: didn't notice any.

Noise levels: none, dead quiet.

Parking: Unknown. Looks like there were some street level parking. I took public transit.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 15 minutes. Proctor wanted to wait a bit for people to show up, we had about 1/3 absentee.

Irregularities or mishaps: none

Other comments: This place ran slightly cold. This was summer so AC was probably on full-blast. Pack a light sweater if testing in June.

Would you take the test here again? Yes because its easy to get to.

I've come across many posts by @akistotle they refer to as their "Cookie Cutter Reviews". These posts are super helpful and I'd like to read more of them. However, I can't figure out a way to effectively locate more of these specific posts. I initially found them in a comment under a video explanation, so searching the discussion forum obviously wouldn't locate. Would appreciate #help with this!

Why do I only have access to images. it used to be that the images were displayed nicely in pdf files for paper test takers...

Lately, anecdotal evidence has me thinking that the LSAT skews more toward the later answer choices (D and E) in what seem to be harder questions. I wonder if anyone has run some simple statistical analysis on this, and this would seem to be the site that does it.

Here's a few research questions that might yield interesting results (or not):

-For LR, taking the last 10 questions of all sections that have been released and taking a look at the distribution of correct answer choices. Is there a skew toward D or E?

-For RC, take the last 2 questions of each passage that has been released and look at the distribution of correct answer choices. Is there a skew toward D or E?

-For both of the above. Instead of just looking at the distribution, one thing I have noticed is that on many of the more difficult questions, LSAC tends to insert a misleading answer toward the beginning while the correct answer is at the end. This tactic exploits a psychological tendency that people have called "priming" where a given stimulus (like a tempting but wrong answer choice) shapes the way a test taker views later information. So for all questions in which more than 15% of test takers wrongly chose A or B, what is the distribution of correct answer choices? Is there a skew toward D or E?

The last research question is especially helpful because it provides a vital piece of information when you've narrowed down answer choices toward the end. It's a more pointed way at educated guessing than blinding picking D or E. I'd love to hear what people find, if anything.

How did everyone feel about the Retest?

I had RC, LR, LR, LG.

4) 3 interviews: reasources, personel, training for 1, 2 or 3 weeks.

Did anyone else have the same content as me, or something different? I’ve heard some people had different than me but I thought a retest was suppose to be the same content just different question and section orders so I don’t know but curious to see how everyone felt about it compared to first test and type of test

I have a diagramming problem. I can fly through a complex question stem without diagraming, particularly on parallel reasoning and other LR questions but some harder former questions require diagramming and I can diagram for the live of me. Any tips on the cc?

Recently been having trouble with the app. on my cellphone (android). Two problems in particular :

The background noise function is seemingly permanently turned up to 10. It just spits out constant noise even at the level 1 setting.

Oftentimes after like the 1st/2nd section the app will act as if it were the 4th/5th section and play the recording for turning in answer sheets and stop timing. I can fix it just by resetting the app, but it's kind of irritating when it happens in the middle of PTs.

Anyone else have this issue? How did you fix it?

Hey there,

We noticed an issue with our videos not playing on our app after the latest iOS update. Sorry about that!

We're investigating a fix but it might take a while. In the meantime, to access 7Sage on your iPhone or iPad, please use Safari or Chrome and go to 7sage.com and login from there.

Let us know (studentservice@7sage.com) if this is affecting you and we will add +1 month access time to your account for the trouble. 

Taking the August test. Last week I was finishing up the modules and I was flying through them and I felt like I could understand the test like Neo at the end of the Matrix. Then starting this week I have tried to study and I feel like all of that is out the window. In some aspects its like last week never happened and I feel like I'm back to square one. I was told I might be burned out but I don't feel like that at all, I felt really good but then it disappeared. Help me get that feeling back cause it will take me to the promised land!

I am very new to practicing for the writing sample, so I have some questions that might seem like common sense to other people. I'm sorry.

I notice sometimes that when I'm arguing for a particular choice I catch myself wanting to fill in gaps with stated assumptions that are necessary for my point to logically follow. However, sometimes these include outside information or things that are not stated in the prompt. For example, one of the writing sample prompts from an older prep test stated two options for filling in the gaps in a shop owner's inventory: either adding a line of metalwork items from a regional artists consortium, or becoming the sole representative for the artwork in the estate of a deceased painter. This painter lived most of his life in the area but the majority of his works were painted elsewhere. One of the criteria is that the shop owner wants to specialize in locally produced artwork. I was wondering as I wrote if the line of metalwork from the regional artists consortium meant artwork made by regional artists producing in the region. In other words, as I was writing, I was assuming that the line of metalwork was made locally. In these occasions, even if I do not know for sure, should I clarify that that they were made locally?

Another question that I have is about including not just the facts in the prompt, but also considerations to support my arguments. Of course, I know I have to use the facts, but in addition to the facts, can I also write about considerations? For example, in the same practice essay I was writing about how the choice of adding the line of metalwork would help the shop owner fulfill her goal of attracting new customers, since sustainable art is in trend among environmentally conscious art collectors, but such a consideration is not a fact. I am assuming the truth that materials such as metal are more ecologically friendly compared to oil and paper, for example. But, then again, I am making the assumption that the paintings were not watercolors... Then I caught myself thinking that I'm also making the assumption here that the scraps of metal were responsibly disposed of and no mercury or other toxic metals were used. My common sense says most probably not or the artists would also be dead, but anyway, these thoughts still intrude as I write. I need some guidance, or maybe someone to smack me over the head.

Took a drill today and noticed the drilling setup has seemingly changed. Has the feature been removed that allows one to click the x to the right of an AC to eliminate?

The system always says "enroll in a full course", but I'm already enrolled and paid. Now I can't study any lesson except the free trail. Am I the only person having this problem? Plz help!

Hi all,

I’m sorry about all the discussion topic posts! When you finish the CC, which PT you recommend starting with? I plan to take the LSAT post-Logic Games so would it have to be the first PT in the reorganized edition?

Anyone have any tips on how to approach these? Are they essentially just MSS questions?

Who's going this Saturday??

I'm going and would love to meet up with some fellow 7Sagers!

I've read in various discussions about getting back to the basics, or mastering the fundamentals, before PTing. Can somebody please elaborate what this meant for them during this process? For instance, does this entail mastering all the drills and going -0 after BRing the practice sets? I took the LSAT this past February after completing the curriculum and did not perform well. I am planning on taking the test in October or December and want to make sure I am doing everything correctly this time around. I thoroughly went through the curriculum for 4 months, but only left myself 2 months for practice tests which felt rushed. Thanks for any advice!

I took the July Flex after 3 months of everyday studying for the LSAT through a different prepcourse. I am wondering how to approach using 7sage to improve my score for a retake, the amount of content is a little overwhelming.

Does anyone have any idea how many words the writing sample should be?

Hi all,

I have decided to retake and reapply after being waitlisted at my top choices. My Question is: I got a 166 on the LSAT. Is there anyway to update that on my 7sage account, or would I need to take another PrepTest to get my current to get a tailored "what I need to work on".

Not sure if that makes any sense but I appreciate your insight.
