Jumped into the 150's

Hey everyone!

Exciting news - I made the jump from the 140's to the 150's.

I've done only a few PT's and was bouncing between the low 140's and high 140's and I did a PT last Saturday and jumped to a 156. I'm not sure what happened or how I accomplished it to be honest - everything except for one game made sense to me and I finally got to the end of some sections within the time which I wasn't doing before. I don't expect to stay that high as I'm sure I'll drop a bit but it's nice to finally see progress.

Just wanted to share :) Have a good day everyone!

Hi everyone, thank you for your replies, I greatly appreciate it.

I am getting back into it now and resuming my full day studying tomorrow with taking a break (the break being my reward) for every hour of studying complete.

I changed my mind from December to June. My cold core was exactly same as yours.

I would say, defiantly take in June or what Nicole suggested, in October. I've been really bad at studying lately due to 4 jobs and lack of motivation so I may even take October if my scores don't improve enough to where I want them to be.

Dont wanna risk getting a crappy score

Matt, I was, yes. I went at it like a cat chasing a mouse. I found it fun and was doing very well. Felt like I found my unicorn because it was weird that I was enjoying Logic Games...

I have taken a break, I spent the last week not doing anything LSAT related.

I've now motivated myself to the point where I am doing problem sets but like I mentioned, I'm just not performing like I normally do :(

Did I burn myself out?

Hey everyone,

I am hoping someone can help me because I feel as if I am in a slump right now and am having a hard time getting out. When I started this 7Sage program, I was very motivated and charged at it like a bull and was killing it…However, these past two weeks I have been slacking HARD and just can't get my head into the game. I have all the time in the world to study and do pt's however I just can't get myself there. Even right at this moment, I am doing problem sets, and blind reviewing but I am not operating at my normal potential and it's making me frustrated because I am missing things that I wouldn't normally miss.

Did I burn myself out? Does anyone else feel totally unmotivated? How do you get yourself out?

I am planning on taking the Dec 5th LSAT but I'm not sure if thats a good idea considering how I'm feeling lately.

Hi there,

Planning to write Dec 2015 LSAT. Terrified. Feb 2016 backup.

I'm also on the lower-GPA-need-a-high-LSAT bus too.

Solid references

EC & volunteer work is solid

Published undergrad thesis

Applying to all Ontario schools, and American schools as well.

However, I am late in the game when it comes to studying for the LSAT. Moved back home to Ontario from Alberta recently so it's been tough adjusting to "home" life again. I'll be jamming live courses and online courses in before December. I live a few hours north of Toronto in Muskoka if anyone is around to meet up and study?

My brain might just turn into the nyan cat video but we will see LOL.

Best wishes all,

General

Frustrated.

Hey everyone,

So it's been a while since I posted on here. My last post was pretty positive, I PT'd a 156 which I was excited about. I wrote the June 2016 LSAT and it kicked my a**, I was suffering from an extreme anxiety attack during the test, there was someone tapping their pencil (which is the worst thing ever!!) and I came out thinking I did "okay". I got my score back and I got a 142 which jammed me into a deep dark hole of depression, self defeat and I've had a hard time getting myself out of that hole from a 142 on my record. My PT's were constant before June, I was staying in the mid to high 150s (which isn't my target) but I was hoping I'd do better.

I'm going to re-do the 7sage core program with the LSAT Trainer and the bibles and hopefully re-write in either Dec or Feb (probably Feb) but I have a lot of avoidance / procrastination behavior (I'm ADD). I can ALWAYS find something else to do (working full time), and I find myself literally avoiding drilling this core material into my head. How do you guys keep yourself focused on the end goal, and not prior defeat? I'm extremely frustrated and mildly embarrassed that it has taken me this long with the LSAT, it feels like a big roller coaster for me.

Hoping someone in a similar situation can shed some light.

Thanks,

Chels

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for your replies.

@ - Thank you. I am in the same boat as I am urged to "just take it" as well and those who say that merely use the reasoning that by just taking it, I can assess my anxiety levels and use it as a gauge for how the next test is going to go. I highly agree with you and everyone else in that it will be better to post pone. I have already postponed taking the test from last year however I was never even registered with LSAC, I was just saying that I was going to take it but never registered as I wasn't ready.

I will postpone until December 2016 and use this thread as reasoning.

This will allow me to go through the 7Sage program, while re-taking my live course (it's free re-takes!) along with taking and BR-ing PT's.

Thank you again.

Questions... Help?

Hey everyone,

I've been on and off the 7Sage course for a while and am currently taking a live in person course near where I live and supplementing with 7Sage. I am scheduled to write in June.

I work 2 jobs basically equaling full time and am dealing with mental health problems and being properly medicated... So needless to say it's been hectic.

I've done a few PTs, my accuracy in LG is 90% but everywhere else I'm bombing it. My PT score is bouncing around 147-149 - I want to be in the high 150's or even 160.

Anyways, here comes the curve ball... My parents would kick my rear end if I changed my test date, only cause I live at home still and well, you know how that goes.... So I'm going to be essentially wasting away this LSAT chance. I keep telling them I'm not ready but noopeeeee I get the "you're 25, get your life together" talk.

I know a lot of you will say, postpone your test date! But I don't feel as if I have an option without causing family conflict. So, say I bomb this June test, when should I realistically plan to take the LSAT again? I'm thinking December to be properly prepared- but any advice welcome!

How do some of you do it? Balance everything, with prepping for this test?

Thanks so much.

@ @ Give this a thought: Get a roommate, maybe a better job, and move out. Someplace close, so you can visit. You'll thank me later.

I just moved back, I lived across the country for 9 months. I already miss my sanity LOL

@ I think anytime people give an LSAT student a hard time---particularly, when they pressure him or her to take the test earlier than he or she should-- they should immediately be given a timed LSAT LR section and then ridiculed for all the problems that they get wrong, in front of the people they respect the most. Shame on them for applying pressure to a process in which they are completely ignorant.

Unless, of course, they’re paying rent and living expenses for said LSAT student. Then, it get’s complicated.

This is one of the best things I have read.

Although, I must say I am living at home… My parents and God-father are pushing me into the December LSAT with only 3 months of prep, I don't feel ready at all despite my efforts. I want to push to Feb or even June.

Hi there, thank you for the replies!

@ I wouldn't suggest taking the Dec. test if you just started studying either. You won't be ready for that.

I started studying in September however I experienced bad bad bad burn out, I went real hard for a bit then pretty well hit a wall so I've been getting back into it. I've been feeling like Dec isn't the way to go… Would you suggest Feb or even June?

@ That's probably the most descriptive username in all of 7sage... :)

Thank you lol

@ A fellow Torontonian!

Thanks for your insight, I'm about 3 hours north of Toronto in Muskoka lol

@.hopkins Lil' Bub is doing your POE *with fire*

The most epic picture ever Nicole! I actually reached out to you on Instagram about chatting :)

@ So perhaps consider your weak area before deciding.

Thank you for your insight. Have you heard of the Richardson prep courses? He has a lot of content on his website, and is holding an advanced LG course in Dec and I am planning on attending but if it isn't any good I wont spend the money.

Supplementary preparation.

Hello there everyone,

happy to say that I finally got myself out of burn out and back into the "killing the lsat while riding a unicorn" mindset.

I am planning on taking the Dec 5th, LSAT (Not sure if that's a good idea or not). I did a PT before starting the 7Sage program and my baseline score was a 137 (I didn't have enough time to finish LG but I thought I was going to get a 120 so I surprised myself for an LSAT noob). I am getting through the 7Sage program slowly as I am going back and re-taking lessons and re-doing quizzes and practice questions so I 100% get it before moving on.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else is taking another form of LSAT prep? Like a course? (I'm in Canada so some courses we don't have here) or reading books? I've heard lots about the LSAT Trainer and the Powerscore LG Bible and I will be taking a LG weekend course in Toronto in Nov.

Just wanted to get some opinions as I kind of feel like the 7Sage program might not be enough. I did buy the Kaplan books last year but I find them very hard to follow and haven't heard good things about the Kaplan program so I want to keep my LSAT mind away from any bad habits Kaplan would get me in.

Thanks :)
