just wanted to say good luck to everyone heading for that count down till the test.. and to tell a short story, I met a guy at the library who saw me studying and told me his first lsat after studying months getting 157-162 was a 168, and his second was a 173. he said that once he got over the fear of not doing as well as he wanted to, he was more focused and it helped, so I know were all quietly freaking out ( i am ) but remember, .... Paralegals get paid well too.. just kidding, remember its just a test and you can always take it again. As cliche as this sounds, you have to believe in yourself!

Hey Guys, I live in NY, I have been on and off on 7th for more than 2 years now. I almost paid for the testmaster course this week, when it hit me, it would probably be better to spend that money on a 7sage tutor. Are there any available in the NY area? can anyone send me the list of tutors?
I was thinking about taking a postgraduate course before applying for law schools to see compensate for a low gpa, this way i can show that I can do the work and my low gpa was an isolated situation in undergrad. What do you guys think?
I'm prior service and had two of my army psychiatrists write me a letter to send to the LSAT people asking for extra time due to my ptsd and the fact that i have minor ADHD take ritalin and propranolol for tests,how are they with giving extra time? is it a difficult process? anyone think i have a chance?
ok so i live in Yonkers, and im looking for people around the area to study with, keep eachother motivated and kill the test together, I mean i have my motivator @tringo335 that keeps me in check but im down for expanding my inner circle of lsatness.

Fordham NY Public Library: 310 Kingsbridge Road Saturday August 5, 2017 9:30 a.m. try doing PT 62 before then.
ok so im a veteran so i get tuition waiver for CT state schools, but my gpa sucked imean it was terrible, after Afghanistan i mustve gone to school just so i wouldnt have to be home. l was able to graduate, but my gpa was a 2.6, i know shame on me, trust me i had some issues focusing on school once i got back. my question is what school do you guys think i need on my lsats to have a chance of going to UCONN? thick skin so dont worry lay it on me
so Einstein has this riddle i'll paste it here .. basically he said 98% of people dont get it right.. not sure if thats true or not, but once i saw it i realized .. ITS A LOGIC GAME !!! its not evena full game its the sitting up of a game give it a try and i'll tell you the answer ...
Einstein's riddle
The situation
There are 5 houses in five different colors.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
These five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.
The question is: Who owns the fish?
Hints
the Brit lives in the red house
the Swede keeps dogs as pets
the Dane drinks tea
the green house is on the left of the white house
the green house's owner drinks coffee
the person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
the owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
the man living in the center house drinks milk
the Norwegian lives in the first house
the man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats
the man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill
the owner who smokes BlueMaster drinks beer
the German smokes Prince
the Norwegian lives next to the blue house
the man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water
Einstein wrote this riddle this century. He said that 98% of the world could not solve it.
haha sorry guys just found out, wife said dont tell anyone yet, so i figured.. well i'll tell my 7sage friends they wont tell anyone she knows lol. so now im doing this for me and my family !! extra motivated now !!
So im definetly taking the December test even though i just took the june one, the goal is start off with prep tests 1 per week till around sept then 2 per week til nov and down to 1 till test day.. BRing during the week before the next week. should i take a two week break or just jump rightback on the settle ?
For the brs i understand im suppost to go back circle the ones im not sure about and re do them, is it completely wrong to first write down the ones i got wrong and re do thoses ? And if i get them wrong twice then i know i need to fully focus on that one, i dont read the answers i just write the number down and re do them, mainly due to lack of them i figured this way im not trusting on just my understanding of what i know and dont know but focusing on all that i dont know. Can anyone advocate why this is less affective?
hey does anyone know where I can purchase prep test c2? I jumped the gun and bought the video explanation without finding the actual test, what can I say it was 7$ lol
my question is, should i keep studying as if i had 35 min per serction? or should i maybe put my clock at 45, this is the best news I could get since the test is around the corner, how can i take the best possible advantage of this as to get the best possible score considering the time extension. ? any tips?
@ said:
If I start Fall 2020, I will be 28 at that time. I just turned 27 in January. I totally feel you on the feeling behind thing lol. But I feel like I'm entering law at the perfect age because I'm sure of it now. I don't care for partying, going out on weekends, etc like I would've maybe in my early 20s. I'm pretty dedicated to this now and don't believe I would've been back then. So it's a good thing!
thats a great mind set, congratulations.
i'm averaging -2 but i'm down with -0 i'll msg you private !
I'm currently creating the hardest LSAT ever, I have searched for the hardest game questions, and the hardest Reading Comp questions, now I need help with the hardest LR questions, there are too many of them and im trying to keep them in a large range so please send me suggestions and I'll build the test. its a good challenge hope people like it.
so i played last week they received my package on monday, and it still says theyll respond within 14 days, has anyone ever applied? maybe tell me something encouraging like "they take about 14 week for everyone" or clear things up like " if they answer in 4 days, its a not" the suspense is killing me.. checked the lsac site 5 times today ...
If you can get a 170+ you can get into a t14 school, use the 7sage predictor where you put in your gpa and lsat school and it shows you the percentage of chance for each school, lets just say if i get a 180 i'm still not getting into Harvard lol, BUT, from a 160 to a 165 the doors of possibilities that open up are numerous.
I had a similar question on a previous post, i think the general consensus is, take your time with the CC and get it down solid, 170 is an ambitious goal in general, specially by july, i'm sure you can do it, what helps me with the CC is the the speed regulator on the videos, if something feels redundant, instead of skipping or ignoring i pay its at 1.4 speed, if i see i got lost i slow it down. There are a lot of variables to consider, your schedule being one, i can only study 3-4 hrs a day, so i'm aiming for september. well good luck hope i helped.
@ said:
Maybe keep your options open--June, July, or September; enjoy this precious time for your family as well.
i know i love hanging out with the family, my oldest is walking now so i dont want to miss him learnign about life, but i know i need to take this test to give him a better future so its a hard balance act.
@ said:
This may seem like blasphemy to some, but if the CC isn't working for you, please branch out to other well-reviewed methods. I put all my eggs in the 7Sage basket, it wasn't clicking for me but I LOVED and still love the community, and I found my stride with another curriculum. Don't tread water or try to skate through peanut butter. I'm also a mommy, so best of luck with your new bundle!! (3(/p)
what other curriculum did you use? i thought abotu taking testmaster live course that begins in april, then I thought maybe i should really focus on every aspect of the 7sage CC and improve as much as I can, i even reached out to some of the tutors here. For example I'm awesome at the games, in LR, I get all my MP questions so I would skip those and focus on RC SA NA etc etc.. But i am not agaisnt trying other things. i'll try anything once lol
Good luck! it was a good question, i cam here to snoop on the answers lol
OHHHH SHIT I just got that feeling we all get after a Rocky movie montage, I need to break some plateaus!!!
@ said:
Also, congratulations!!!
Thank you! i'm very close to the 160 i'm at 159ish, but i think i even made out a decent 15hour a week study schedule, skipping most of the game section ( i average -1, -2 on the game) it will get me to doing PTs by mid june at a rate of 2 per week, i'll get done before the test. sounds solid and not over kill. i think lol
@ said:
Hey bro. I'm a Dad like you, but parenting from a distance. I'm timing my prep before I scoop my kids for the summer. Inbox me, Im actively employing the advice 4 guys (two of which are dads) gave me. It worked for them (graduated Yale, HLS, and one is getting ready to graduate from Columbia). Seems to be working well for me. Happy to chat over the phone if easier. I'll cericle back to this thread in a couple of hours.
thank you, i'll hit you up soon
I took the March test, but my goal was to take two test this year, i'm having a baby late June, and the June 3rd test seems really close, and the July test, well i'll have a newborn to deal with so I'm thinking go for the September test. (even though i wanted to avoid the digital) My game plan, is to start from scratch, zero out my CC and start from scratch really get back to the basics and get the core down 100% and then start the PTs again, does that seems like a waste of time? I need some advise here guys.
I can only wish i had started as early as you, if you're discipline is on point you will get that 170 guarantee, two years will allow you the time you need to become a master at the core curriculum and then take PTs at a once a week pace. Congrats on the early start!
lets get drunk and do logic games, 1 shot for every wrong answer
honestly i love seeing older generation posting in the 40s and up, i have always felt like i started school late because i did my time in the army, but this motivates me, I am turning 35 in May, hopefully I will be starting law school at 35 or 36

I had LG-LR-LR-RC-LR, all my LR sections had 25 questions. I can say that I definitely did not have any two questions sharing one stimulus nor any questions about blood transfusions.
I'm hoping my second LR was the experimental, everything is kinda blurring together now but I'm positive I had questions in LR regarding:
TMAO/carnitine
bean/medieval agriculture
road repairs
replacing washing machines
disagree over: mayor popularity
disagree over: proposal for chemical plant on lake
parallel reason using aliens
Definitely in my LR3 -- Pharmacist recommendation to doctor, wild animal comparison to dogs, adults and child learning through play
LG: Wu/Zahn, criminals and day trips
RC: labor law, hominids, argentinian lit
Yes, for the LR, I remember the TMAO/carnitine (though I don't remember which one of my 3 LR sections it was). I remember the chemical plant, and the pharmacist recommendation and adult/child play/learning Qs.
So do we think this means that the test is only 100 questions (and that 26-Q LR I had was experimental??)
We had the same test, i cant remember any of the test but seeing your post it all kind of came back, the anxiety, the tears and impending feeling of doom.
@ maybe you surprised yourself! PS - you going to UConn?
IF my score permits me... yes, i get tuition waiver form the army so its basically free school, only paying for the fees, but i'm already back on the studying wagon getting ready for the june test.
@ said:
@.Y. Ping Will the digital tester eventually be able to be used on tablets so as to imitate test-day conditions to the greatest extent? Also, would you be willing to eventually upload live commentary of you or another 7Sager taking a test on a tablet in the near future? The exact settings, movements, use of the scrap paper, and use of the stylus on the tablet would be incredibly informative!
That sounds like a good idea!
@ said:
@ I don't believe so, J.Y. seemed to indicate that the stylus does not include the ability to write freehand on the test. However the interface will allow you to highlight certain sections and color code them. So while it might take slightly longer, you could highlight the premise in yellow and the conclusion in pink for example
I like that, I guess its all about practice I need to actually try this out
@ said:
welp i just purchased the premium package...lets go JUNE 3rd lol
THATS THE SPIRIT !!! lol
This was an amazing review, I really want to take a PT in digital format and see how it feels! thank you for the review!

Can anyone confirm in the LR question regarding intravenous vitamins and salinated water was real?

i'm always baffled but how everyone remembers questions and sections, all i remember is.. 3 LR sec 1 rc 1 lg, and some writing question about musicians, everything else i a complete blur. I was happy to see 3 LR and not 2 RC!
Definitely doing this !
has anyone taken a practice test digital and a paper one digital to see if there is a different feel to it, i know everyone says its the same test and it should basically be the same when taking it, however, i feel like the people who have been studying for months (or years) on paper and now have to switch are at a disadvantage, is the stylus like an actual pen you can write C for conclusion and P for Premise?

I will be 63. Murray Shusterman practiced law until he was 104. That’s my goal. Right now I practice dentistry 40 hours/week. If the LSAT goes well this year I hope to start law school next year. I’m already taking Torts in a paralegal program. If I bomb the LSAT I will work as a paralegal; maybe for one of you!!
AND YOU ARE MY HERO, thats an amazing goal, and you wont bomb the lsat, you're life knowledge and dedication will get you through it, you can sue people and critique their teeth haha
