Whenever I try to add live classes to my calendar on the new 7sage it redirects me to a download file for apple calendar. I am unfortunately not an apple user and have to use the classic 7sage to then add the classes to my calendar. Is there a method I'm missing or can we have this added?
@Mdwa1999 A few days before the test, I typed up and printed a sheet of things that I normally catch myself erring on during PTs (reading too quickly, not focusing, not catching literal language, A->B and A-m->C = B-s->C, etc. etc.) and just scanned over that a couple times to keep the worst parts fresh.
I also retook 10 questions of varying difficulty (timed) just to get into the groove of reading and answering quickly, but did not check the score afterward so I wouldn't discourage myself.
At the end of the day, I still locked up but having done a first round, I feel more prepared in knowing what awaits me. Just gotta keep grinding at it.
I'm taking the LSAT at home for the first time (had a terrible in-person experience so trying this), but I was wondering if anyone with a gaming PC setup has been dinged for having multiple monitors, mic arms, etc.
I've made a second setup with just a laptop, XL gaming pad, and additional monitor as my "testing zone" but was wondering if secondary monitors/graphic mousepads are dinged and not allowed. Should I keep it to just the laptop and mouse?
Would love to hear about other ppl's experiences testing at home and how I can optimize my setup for seamless testing without having to rework my desk the day of.
IDK if this is prevalent to your case, but I have craaazy test-based anxiety and definitely lock up during tests. What I've done to mitigate it is to take PT's in as similar of conditions to the real deal (I plan to take remotely in Nov). What helps most for me is attending the proctored Saturday exam time that 7Sage offers.
Aside from that, when I lock up during an exam, I take the few seconds to close my eyes and take two really deep breaths. I remind myself to read carefully and try to remember the goal of the question stem. That helps in filtering out what is relevant/not.
My strategy for reducing time is to answer the initial 10-15 questions in a section quickly and efficiently so that I can bank time for later on where questions tend to get very tricky/need diagramming. The key to any LR Q is to know exactly what it's asking of you (i.e. Necessary Assumption, Flaw, Conditionals, etc.)
As for grinding PTs, I would say yes but make sure you're very aware why you got the question wrong and how you plan to mitigate that in the future. That helps so that you're not mindlessly burning away at your question database. Quantity =/= Quality.
