Does anyone have a PDF of the little thought bubbles that are shown at the beginning of lessons sometimes? it would really help me to see big picture breakdown. If anyone has this or has made it, please let me know!
Hello friends,
The way I've decided to study for the lsat is by reading the Powerscore books then going through the online tutorial. I was wondering if someone could please link me to a lesson that explains in detail my two biggest sticking points when it comes to logic games: identifying contrapositives and making inferences.
Thanks and all the best,
M

What kind of room: The first time I took the test here in June 2014, the classroom was adjacent to a busy intersection, and there was construction nearby. The second time, in February 2015, I was placed in a large auditorium style classroom tucked away from the busy intersection.

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

Anyone have any 7Sage Success Stories they want to share with me on how 7Sage helped them reach 170+.

Hi! I was wondering how I could apply my Phi Alpha Delta one month extension to my account?
Admin note: closed.
Good afternoon fellow 7Sagers,
I see a lot of study buddy partnerships and groups being formed in many areas, so I am starting one in the San Fernando Valley! I just recently lost my study buddy whose moving overseas, and it'd be great to study the LSAT together! I have a lot of material including the Powerscore books and all the printed practice materials from Blueprint. I am aiming for a 170+, with my current preptest scores ranging from high 150s to mid 160s. Let me know here if you're interested!
Best regards,
Isaac
My webcam showed up as mirrored when I test my equipment through proctorU, so when I hold up my ID it’s mirrored. Will this be an issue on test day/ can I fix this? Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks!
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 :(
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)
I'm living in Jaffa - Tel Aviv right now and taking the test this Monday and hoping against hope that someone out here in the 7sage community is here as well and willing to study with me as I/we prepare this last week.
Proctors: Several available; extremely communicative and helpful. Kept things organized.
Facilities: Clean, quiet and easily accessible.
What kind of room: Classroom.
How many in the room: Approximately 40 to my recollection.
Desks: Long lecture style seating with a seat in between.
Left-handed accommodation: They left a seat in between each person and no one was seated directly adjacent to a wall.
Noise levels: Extremely quiet.
Parking: I was driven to the test but there was plenty of parking.
Time elapsed from arrival to test: I got there early, but approximately half hour or so from the actual time they said to be there.
Irregularities or mishaps: None.
Other comments: Great, professional testing center.
Would you take the test here again? Hopefully I never have to take it again (but a good center)!

I started my journey about a year ago, with about a 140 diagnostic. Went to 148, then 150, now 155 on the last April test. My average for the last 10 practice tests I had taken was from 158 - 163. After the 150 test, I made some serious shifts in my mindset, study habits, overall approach to review and drill etc. I was starting to feel so good, intuitive, confident. I seriously thought I was ready.
I need a 160 on the August test - 5 more points - it truly will be my last try for personal reasons I don't want to get into on here.This is 3 months worth. Is this doable?
If so, how? Drill each section for now, review? Or practice tests and then analytics from there and review? 76 75 84 85 91 69 is the ones I have left that I haven't taken or were taken long ago. Is it okay to retake tests already taken and see the comparative improvement? In terms of material, how do I use it to my advantage?
I feel so lost, confused, and this shook my confidence down by a lot. Figuring out technology for 30 min and starting late, starting at a much later time than most of my past tests, and during the third section feeling my brain already fall asleep - these are the factors that come to mind, if that is of any value. I don't mean to sound self - defeatist and I'm aware that my situation isn't necessarily unique, but I truly do feel disappointed and so low after seeing this. I really think I can do better, I'm just feeling down and confused and lost as to how I can specifically execute that.
Any specific study guidance (moving forward in my particular situation), words of wisdom, and genuine advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for whoever chooses to respond.
Also, here are my analytics from my last 10 practice tests on here:
LR: -5.7 average
LG: -7 average
RC: - 7 average.
I don't understand how I got a 155 on test day and missed that many more points, like I'm truly so confused.
I just took the December LSAT and got the score I needed. Now I am going to finish up my law school applications and submit them in the next couple of weeks. After that I will begin studying for the GMAT.
I started studying for the LSAT using Kaplan. It didn't work too well for me. I found 7sage and had a 12 point increase in my score by studying 6 weeks leading up to the test.
I am wondering if any of you are doing the JD/MBA and if so what prep courses you have found that are similar to the 7sage style.
Thanks in advance!
I haven't taken an official test yet or a proctored exam. I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions about what I can and cannot use on the exam.
1 - Can I have my laptop connected to an external monitor?
2 - Can I use a external mouse & keyboard?
Confirming:
Are there any other significant constraints that I need to be aware of?
Is it just me or does PT B (February 1999) from the SuperPrep series seem more difficult than all other PrepTests? If so do you guys have any ideas on why this is? Maybe I just had a brain fart really struggled with this one haha
Hello everyone. Both test 90 and 91 are from May 2020. What is the difference between them. They are totally different? I mean totally different questions?
I noticed that the graph in the LSAT Analytics page that displays your section performance over various PTs has two different curves for Logical Reasoning. I don't see why this should be so. The curves make no distinction between the two LR sections on each test, nor should there be one in my opinion. I can't glean any insights from a curve if I don't know what dataset it represents, and there doesn't seem to be any relevant distinction between the two LR datasets. So would it be possible to combine those two curves into one that represents the total amount of LR questions missed on each PT?
I have 3.5 months to get score from (just over 12 weeks) to go from 150 to 157 - 160 range.
My incorrect answers are somewhat even on each section, but struggling most (conceptually speaking) on logic games, especially with the speed. I can set up most games but have a hard time attacking the questions.
Should I drill the LR question types I have most difficulty with?
Drill reading to improve efficiency / speed?
Is it better to drill drill drill, then take practice test and review and go from there?
Any specific advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I took the October 2022 LSAT and did my writing sample for it. I wanted to redo my writing for my January test but I got caught up in turning applications in by February 1st that I forgot to redo it. January scores are released tomorrow and applications are due, I wanted to know if I retook the writing tomorrow before submitting my apps if it would count?
