I would definitely look through JY's new lessons on reading comp. I've been implementing the low/high resolution summary methods and it's actually worked really well. On the comparative passages, it's been helpful to read passage A and then answer any questions that I can before reading passage B. I find that I can retain more information this way. Another approach that's been helpful is that of finding parallels b/w reading comp. questions and logical reasoning questions...the two sections have similar question types. You can use the approach that you take to LR questions to similar RC questions.

I didn't end up getting a tutor but if you have the resources to do so, I would go for it!! It took me a while to figure out what I was struggling with and I think a tutor could really help with that.

Cancel or not...

I took the July LSAT. It was quite an experience b/c the LG section just threw me off. I felt confident about only one game and had to make a lot of guesses on two games.

I've just been feeling so disappointed with myself. This was my third time taking the test. I was scoring in the early 170s on my practice tests. I worked really hard to get my pt score average to high 160s - early 170s. But everything just went to the drain on the real test.

I can't afford another score below 165. Both of my first two scores have been below 165. I know that the general advise is not to cancel, but I don't feel confident about the July LSAT at all. Doing well on the logic games is so critical for my overall performance on the test. I'm thinking of canceling and taking the September test. What do you think? At this point, I know that I'm capable of scoring 170+ and I don't think my performance on the July test will represent my full potential and how much I've improved on this test .

Hi all,

I'm studying to take the September 2017 LSAT. I've just enrolled in the 7Sage Ultimate+ course. For those more experienced with the course, what advise would you give for someone starting out?

Should I just go through the syllabus..? Was there a particular study schedule that worked better for you?

Thanks so much!

I'm so happy for you. Have been very inspired by your resilience and determination.

Hey all,

I'm trying to figure out how to study better. On my latest practice test, my actual score was 164 and blind review was 178. The problem is that I'm very inconsistent with my performance in each of the sections.

RC usually is the best for me, I miss 2-3...but on this practice test I missed 6. The subject matter in the last two passages were really boring so I was struggling to get through them.

LG - I've been drilling games crazy for the past two weeks but one of the games in this practice test really threw me off and messed up my pace in the entire section. In blind review, I was able to get all the questions right.

LR -In one section, I got -2 and in another section I got -6. I'm not missing a particular question type. It's more that I'm not reading the stimulus carefully and missing out on key inferences.

This week, I'm going to keep drilling LR and LG sections. I'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly I need to work on. Should I try a consultation with one of the 7sage tutors? If so, which one would you recommend?

Hey all!

The law schools applications have a section on education. I put in the high school and college info..but do I need to include my rankings and gpa for high school? I haven't been putting that in for some apps I've submitted b/c I honestly don't remember..I was my high school's salutatorian but beyond that I don't remember my gpa or anything.

Question bank issues

I've been experiencing a lot of technical issues with the question bank. Regardless of how many questions I choose, only half will actually load. It's also not possible for me to choose multiple question types in LR.I tried google chrome, firefox, and safari.

Is anyone else having issues as well?

I took the LSAT yesterday. This was my second time. On my PT's I was scoring in the mid to high 160's. My ideal score is 167 or above.

I just don't know how I did yesterday. I don't know how to assess my performance in any of the sections on the test besides LG. I was able to figure out every game except the second one in which I had to guess on 3-4 questions. In my PTs, I was getting 2-3 wrong on LG.

I can't risk another bad score. I did terrible on my first LSAT in which I totally bombed the LG section (got -15). I worked the heck out of LG games this time so I don't think I bombed LG again unless I screwed up everything. I thought LR and RC on yesterday's test was normal, besides the passage about the judges.

I don't know what to do. I really don't want to cancel because I have some applications that require the September score. I would be fine with a score in the mid-to-high 160's. I just can't get the same score as last time or do worse because that would just destroy me. Is it possible to do worst than your first LSAT??? I put in two full months of studying in this.

I'm just curious how others who are relying on the September score are thinking about what to do next, especially those who didn't take the test for the first time yesterday.

PT 84 - score went down...

I am taking the July LSAT. I just took PT 84 and my score dropped significantly. I went from scoring up to 175 to mid 160s. RC was my worst section. I had RC down to -3 or less but this was just bad. Don't know how to feel about this.

Thank you all! This is very helpful. I got everything in last night and my letters are complete today. I'll just email the school to make sure everything is ok. I can email from the school early morning saying that they had received my application.

Thanks guys! This is really helpful. The break has been longer than I expected. So I'll write a short note with my application. I just don't want them to question anything.

Hey all!

I've been taking a break after my fellowship for family reasons and to work on my applications. Do I have to include anything in my resume? I'll be working again in January so I was planning to send a updated resume when I start a new position.

Do I have to do anything else...I was told by some people that since it's normal for people to take time off after a fellowship, I don't have to do anything. I can just update the schools when I start something.

I feel you. Took PT 80 today, got a 166. Got -7 on the first LR section - all in the last 10 questions. The other sections were more consistent with how I've been preforming recently. This is really annoying b/c I've been working so hard on LR.

I haven't gotten my score back yet but just wanted to express how moved I am by the posts here. It's incredible how y'all are moving forward and not quitting. I don't know what I'm going to face when I get my score in the coming days but this is puts things into good perspective.

How to study full time over the summer..?

Hey all,

My circumstances allow me to take two months of the summer (July & August) off to focus solely on LSAT studying. My goal is to take the September test. This isn't my first time studying for the LSAT so the fundamental concepts are familiar to me - it's a matter of really pushing myself to refine my understanding and application.

I'm currently working through the core curriculum with a full time job. I don't know how to structure my studying currently knowing that I'll be studying full time in July & August. I'm not being consistent with studying right now b/c my work can be intense and exhausting. Any advise would be appreciated!

Need some rule-driven games to practice

Hi all,

Hope your weeks are off to a good start.

I was doing really well on the logic games section on my practice tests (0-2). But in my last two practice tests, my performance has gone down all b/c I can't figure out one game in the section. I've noticed that both of the games I missed were rule driven, games that don't have allow for a lot of inferences and you just have to rely on the rules to solve the game. I've struggled with rule driven games before as well.

What are some games that you think I should practice?

Hey! I'll be in the Sacramento area soon in a few days. We should connect.

Hey all!

Just wanted to see what others who are attempting to take the September test are studying right now..what's your study plan until the test date? I just went through the core curriculum,drilling Logic Games right now. Trying to figure out practice tests schedule right now. I'm studying full time until the test date so trying to figure out how to maximize my potential.

Resume margins....

Hey all! So I submitted a resume for a school that comes out fine out of my printer but I'm worried that my narrow margins might not work for every printer. Should I email a resume with better margins to the school - just to be safe?

I feel I'm just making silly mistakes like this in on my apps.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
