@edress366 Do you mind sharing how the mobile hotspot is more reliable than the conventional WiFi at home or at a hotel? I've also had connectivity issues and have been considering using ethernet, but this sounds like it might be a good option, too. How is using the mobile hotspot service different from connecting to my phone's mobile hotspot?

Are all these Clubhouse webinars recorded? There have been a few that I've wanted to join but could not make it. I only see the "Law School Application Timelines" episode on the podcasts. Where can I find the others? Thank you!

I've tried to use the Advanced Search function for the forums. In the Advanced Search page, I want to sort by date. To do so, I've tried to use the "newer than" function, but that doesn't seem to produce any search results. It's the same no matter what search term I use.

For example, if I search "games" and change the "newer than" to "this month", I get no results. Same if I do "this year." And there have obviously been posts containing "games" over the past month and year. Any idea how to fix this?

Avoid using wifi. Use ethernet cable for internet connection.

Does this work better?

If you are connected to internet via ethernet cable vs wifi you reduce the chances of your internet getting spotty and having glitches. I had that issue when I sat for the LSAT. My internet had some sort of glitch and the test froze in the middle of reading comp. I had to wait for 20 minutes or so to get logged back in and had to do the whole camera view of my room and area. So yeah, I think it is a better idea to not use wifi, plus they advise to use ethernet connection. Most people probably will not have this issue, but better safe than to get flustered over internet issues in the middle of your test.

Thank you for your response! Do you mind sharing more about the what happened once you got logged out? Were you disconnected from the proctor entirely? Did they pause the clock for you so that you were able to resume with the same amount of time left?

I had some trouble when I took the test too. I got the "internet unstable" message and got brought to another tab and a few times. Was this what happened to you too, or did you get logged out altogether?

I have a Mac and I've never used ethernet on this, so I'll have to figure out how to do that.

7Sage is a great resource. I would personally also recommend the PowerScore LR and RC Bibles. I would definitely start by self studying, but once you've reached a certain level, or if you simply feel like you learn better going over problems with someone, then a tutor can be a good investment. Alternatively, you might also find that you don't need to work with a tutor at all, but in this case I think you need to rely more on analytics/data and be introspective regarding your weaknesses, goals, timeline, etc.

Obviously the less money you have to spend on this study process, the better. But I would also say that the money that you spend now on the LSAT or on the law school admissions process can pay off down the road in terms of the schools you get into and the scholarships you might get at those schools, in addition to income you make after graduation from law school.

I think the best schedule will be the one that suits your own needs. Are you working or studying full time? How many hours do you have to study each week? Where are you scoring now on your PTs and what score are you aiming for? What are your weaknesses?

I would actually try to do a good amount of work each day, but not too much. I think the goal is to be consistent in your studying, and not too intense during any given period of time.

I would generally not recommend just going by a schedule that you find somewhere in a book or online. I think you just need to ask yourself some of these questions about your own goals and where you're currently at and then go from there.

Are you talking about the app that you can install onto the desktop, where you can just click on the icon immediately to open the LawHub/PrepPlus library?

If so, I think I used the app the first time I took it, and the second time I used the website version. I didn't actually think too much of it either time, but the second time I used the website just because I was having technical issues and the proctor guided me there.

For what it's worth, I had zero problems throughout the first test experience and a lot of connectivity issues the second time around. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the app vs. website. Might also be because I took the test later the second time, or a number of other reasons that led to the connectivity issues.

Interested to hear what others' experience have been, too.

LSAT · Posting on Behalf of a 7Sage User: Question about Fool Proof Guide to Perfection on Logic Games
User Avatar

Friday, May 28 2021

To be honest with you that really isn't a lot of games. By my estimation there are about 380 games out there, so 89 is 23%, or less than 1/4th, of all the games. I don't know how many games you've already done or what your progress is like, but I'd say that if it takes you 89 games, with multiple repetitions for each game, to get to a comfortable place for games, that's well worth it.

I also don't know what score you're aiming for, but if you want to FoolProof to -0 or -1 or -2 in games, that takes plenty of time and repetitions.

The idea behind the repetition, as J.Y. says and as many people here will tell you, is that you learn the inferences that repeat themselves. You really have to see a lot of games for this to work.

I don't say all this to make studying sound daunting. But at various points in my studies I've had to adjust my expectations as to how much work I have to do, and invariably I realize that there is more work to be done. It takes a lot of games to really reach mastery for LG.

Best of luck!

Long time user of 7Sage here. I've studied for the LSAT for a while now and I scored a 170 on test day and I'm planning to retaking for a high 170s score. My PTs have ranged from 169-178, but I am still quite inconsistent within this range.

I've been considering going through the Core Curriculum. I've watched a few videos before but have never actually sat down to go through the whole thing. I'm now considering going through the CC because I have decided to apply not this upcoming cycle, but the following one, and so I do have more time to study. I'd like to improve in all 3 sections but my current weaknesses are:

Formal Logic (not including conditional logic, but just operating the Most/Some statements and those questions).

Weird games (pattern games, mapping games, circular games in PowerScore language. Think Employee Workpiece game or Virus game).

Rule substitution questions.

Science passages in RC.

Curve-breaker RC/LR questions.

Consistency in all 3 sections (to go from -2 to -3 to -0 to -1 consistency.

I'd say that I'm strong at LG (able to go -0 to -3) but I'm also seeking more consistency. Would you say that the LG portion of the Core Curriculum is worth going through if one has already done all the games there and even watched most the explanation videos for those particular games? Is there anything different between the explanations for LG within the CC vs. the explanation videos for the games taught in the CC (found under Problem Sets > Explanation Videos)? I've heard rave reviews about the LG portion of the CC specifically from quite a few people, so I'm wondering if it's worth going through or whether it's more for someone who's still making a ton of mistakes?

I don't think it's really necessary for me to go through the CC, but I do think that it might help solidify my knowledge and cover any remaining weaknesses I have.

How long did it take you to go through the entire CC (not counting doing the actual PTs included in there)?

I was thinking that I would skip some of the LR/RC Problem Sets because I've developed my own system of allocation for the PTs and I don't have that many fresh PTs left, so I want to be careful not to use up any fresh PTs/sections. How long would just watching the video lessons take (not including the problem sets)?

I would also love any advice about how you went about going through the CC/what to skip/what's important. Did you take a lot of notes? Did any of you high scorers (170+) do something similar where, for a retake, you went back to the fundamentals? Did it pay off to do so?

@theodolfmagat611 What is the process of becoming a tutor on 7Sage? Is a Star member just a full time member? What is the approval process like? Does one just need to submit one's official test score screenshot? Thanks!

I've been PTing in the 170-178 range, with quite a bit of fluctuation in this range. I scored a 170 on the actual exam and I'm aiming for a score in the high-170s.

Given my personal schedule/commitments, I'll basically have to take 4 months away from studying for the test. During this time, I really won't be able to study with the exemption of possibly one day per week. I will have time to study after these 4 months, though. I'm not in a huge rush to retake the test.

I think I know the fundamentals very well, with the exemption of some topics: I'm not 100% solid on Formal Logic yet and I haven't really spent a lot of time working on the rare game types, namely pattern games, mapping games, circular games (according to the PowerScore classification).

I'm not quite perfect on any of the sections yet, but I have gotten in the -0 to -3 range for each. I probably need more work on all three sections.

After about 4 months away from the test, I might need some refreshing of the fundamentals. I'm not sure exactly how much I'll have forgotten. But I'm sure I can get the knowledge/speed/fluency back quite quickly even after 4 months away from the test. I've been on 7Sage for a while now, but I've just never used the Core Curriculum. I've mostly just watched the explanation videos by J.Y.

Is it worth going through the entire Core Curriculum? How long does it take to do so? And will someone scoring in the 170s already find value in doing so?

Also curious about those of you who have gone through Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer. I've already read the PowerScore LG and LR books and the Manhattan RC book. I've watched a lot of J.Y.'s explanations for all three sections. I bought the Trainer a long time before I actually started studying but I've barely touched it. I've heard good things about it. But I'm just wondering whether this is just far too basic for someone already in the 170s.

Thank you all!
