General · First time using 7sage / studying for the lsat

I agree with the above comment, if I were starting from the beginning I would do a few things:

-devote time to learning the lessons because everything will be easier when you understand the core concepts

-don't stress too much about when you'll start drilling at the start because like the comment above stated, there are practice questions for you to do built into the curriculum

-if you got a question right and you see that the video explanation is long, as long as you understand why the right answer was right you don't have to watch the whole video, this will save you a lot of time. I wish I had spent time watching the full length videos only when I was genuinely confused or lost, you don't get good noodle stars for watching hours of explanations when you don't need them, your time is precious!

-get into the habit of asking yourself why the wrong answers are wrong, I think what I did a lot at the beginning of lesson learning was trying to apply the lessons to questions by asking myself which answer was right, which is great, but if you don't understand why the wrong answers are wrong in the first place you won't understand how trick answers tricked you in the first place

-try, if you can, to get through the curricculum quickly. This maybe feels contradictory to my first statement but the reason why is because it's a long curricculum and I got discouraged after months of trying to get through it, I felt like I was taking too much time on it and that resulted in anxiety because I felt like I wasn't practicing tests qs enough. When I finally sat down and powered through it and started actual PTs I felt a lot better and more confident.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Since you're saying most of your time is going to wondering if you're getting questions right, personally I would suggest picking the answer that you feel is correct and then moving on. If during your blind review (I'm assuming you're doing that with your practices) you see that you got a question wrong that you thought was right, spend more time trying to understand how you got tricked.

This helped me a lot because you start seeing patterns. For example, on some questions you'll notice that ONE word makes a tempting answer wrong, so as you keep drilling and practicing and you begin to narrow down your answer choices to two or three, you'll be better able to look for those key words that will help you eliminate wrong answer choices.

So I guess what I'm saying is that more than being worried about being right, focus on understanding why wrong answers are wrong, because this way even if you're super lost on a question, if you can narrow the choices down to two good ones your odds of picking the right answer are way better!

Anyway I don't know if this helped but good luck on your test!

Starting to Study Again ... Advice?

Hi everyone,

I've been studying off and on for a couple of years now, but only seriously started studying for the LSAT with the 7Sage curriculum back in August. After some health issues and a lower than expected LSAT score in November, I've decided to to aim for the 2025 admission cycle. That said, I'm picking studying back up this week and wanted to know what you would all suggest.

I worked through the 7Sage curriculum in the past in a bit of a hurry and it clearly showed. For now, my plan is to get through the LSAT Loophole for a new perspective, then pick up the 7Sage curriculum again to brush up on the areas that I really didn't understand the first time around.

My plan is to retest in June and possibly one last time in August if necessary, and I'm hoping for about a 10 point jump.

I'd appreciate any and all advice as I pick up this tiring (but surely worth it) journey again!

Admissions · Where to include research experience in resume?

Thursday, Nov 14 2024

I agree with the comment above, you can have an umbrella category just called Experience and it works fine.

For me though, I put my professional experience as one section and research experience as a separate category for clarity because I thought it flowed better. But I have also been out of college for a few years now so it made sense for me to separate my research from more recent work experience.

If total you just have maybe 3-4 things you want to include then maybe a general section would work best and keep things simple; I had three research projects and 5 jobs I wanted to include from the last few years so it just looked overwhelming when I put it all together.

In case anyone else in the future is confused like I was, "did not obtain" basically means "did not happen"

I don't know how or why don't ask me I'm just going to memorize that and move on cry face

I'm having a hard time understanding the double negatives. Is there a places in the syllabus that goes over the grammer of these or how to break them down?
