June'18 Study Group | Blind Review PT 50 | Tuesday, Feb 6th | 7:30 pm EST

https://media.giphy.com/media/3o85xr9ZKY1wbbJXDW/giphy.gif

I hope you're ready or gearing up to start PTing for the June 2018 LSAT. Join us this Tuesday if you are finished with the CC.

Provisional Schedule: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=f3n8s2l60gkgm2ju8m8kk4vhn4@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York

Note:

For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able on your own; then join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” KEEP THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOURSELF. Win the argument with your reasoning.

These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

Mark any questions you wish to go over on the spreadsheet below!

Fool Proofing Time Line!?

So, as some of you may know games are my lease intuitive section.

I am currently fool proofing PTs 1-35 and I am seeing some improvement. (Using an adapted version of @Pacifico's method)

My question is how many games do you aim to do a day?

A full LG Section worth (4-Games)? More/Less?

Lately, I've been aiming to do about an LG section a day. I follow the fool proof guide exactly as prescribed.

I'm curious to know how those of you who have successfully fool proofed the bundle spread them out? Basically, how long did it take. I know, I know, the journey is never over. But let's assume your first time through fool proofing PTs 1-35?

Also, should we wait until we have done all the fool proofing to begin PTs?

Thank you :)

If you are having trouble with Logic, or maybe just interested in gaining a more in-depth understanding of logic then check out this book:

Introduction to Logic (2nd Edition)

by Gensler

This was one of the first text books I used in in undergrad for an Intro to Logic class. I recently came across it in a box with all my other books from undergrad and decided to give it a quick skim -- turned out to be a great refresher!

It goes way more in-depth than anyone taking the LSAT would need, but still, I think it really has helped me understand the logic that undergirds much of the test. Even reading a few chapters I think would be of great supplement to anyone from beginners to high scorers alike. No need to read the entire thing, even skimming through it would be worth it. Especially the relevant chapters!

@ Any advice? Thanks

There’s no specific advice on the new LR imo. You just have to do enough so that you get used to them. It’s not like you’re going to be doing them any differently.

I disagree that they’re just different — I think they’re harder across the board. Just compare the first 10 questions from a 40s test vs. the first few from a 70s or 80s test. Right away you can see the difficulty differential. A simpler test is just comparing the MP questions from the new vs. old tests. Haha! It’s not all in your head.

Part of getting over the newer stuff is examining and exploring exactly what is making them harder for you. That might be more of subjective thing. I remember always feeling like the newer questions redlined my brain more; like there were more steps to get to TCR. Basically, the newer tests are harder because they force you to really understand your sh*t. There’s a ton of misdirection that you don’t see on the older tests, and that lack of misdirection makes it so you can kind of intuit your way to some of the answers without really fully understanding the argument on the older tests.

So like @ said above me, focus on the fundamentals. That’s usually the answer, even if it’s not what we want to hear.

You will work on them enough so you get to a point where they’re just the new normal. Even so, when I did finally get to that point they never felt as easy at the 40s and 50s did. So just be mindful of that and don’t let it kill your confidence.

TL;DR Just get exposure to the newer tests, focus on fundamentals. At the end of the day, they’re testing the same skills.

Best of luck!

PT58 -- Did anyone find this PT especially easy?

So I woke up extra early this morning before work and took PT58. I haven't finished BR'ing it, so I haven't looked at my score, but did anyone else find this test unusually easy? I'm wondering if my confidence is just playing tricks on me because I was able to finish both LR sections and LG with quite a bit of extra time. RC didn't really seem all that hard either. Either way, I was pleasantly surprised with my performance on it.

Anyone else who recently took PT58 find it on the easier side?

Cycle Recap/Reflections

Hello All!

After waiting for what felt like an eternity, I think my cycle is finally over!

A JD/MBA is my goal, and I’ve been admitted to both NYU Law and Stern School of Business, so that’s where I’ll be headed this fall.

I’m so grateful because I live in SoHo and my apartment is about a 5 minute walk to the law school. It will also be nice to not have to move and be close to my network of friends. It’s made my anxiety much more manageable to say the least.

Here were my other options/results:

-Harvard (waitlisted)

-Stanford (waitlisted; applied late*)

-Columbia (no merit aid)

-NYU $$

-Penn (no aid yet; applied late*)

-Cornell $$$

Thoughts:

If you’re applying in the future, get your apps in early.

-I crafted my personal statement to create a cohesive narrative that tied in aspects of my background, résumé and work experience, as well as how they related to my future goals. I think this is an important piece of advice that is sometimes overlooked. Make your application tell a cohesive narrative about yourself. This is really the time to talk yourself and your accomplishments up. This is your time to shine!

-LORs: Get them early and have your PS and résumé ready to give to your professors. This way they can write a letter that’s better tailored to your application.

-7Sage LSAT and the community on here is amazing. Literally couldn’t have done any of this without J.Y. and the rest of the lifelong friends I’ve made on here. Truly.

-Utilize the free admissions webinars and articles on the site. The advice was literally invaluable for my application.

-If you’re studying for the LSAT currently, just trust the process. You are in good hands with 7Sage.

For reasons of anonymity, I don’t want to post my stats. If you PM me, though, I’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Best of luck to everyone & hope to see some of you this fall!

I personally found that doing real reading comp passages was most helpful. There is nothing better than practicing with the real thing, and luckily there are so many tests that it's highly unlikely you'll run out anytime soon.

Here's a thread on fee waivers last cycle:

This is great, thank you!

@ said:

How early should we start emailing schools about being considered for a fee waiver? Would love to apply broadly but there's no way I can afford it.

Are you eligible for fee waivers from LSAC? I was able to secure 4 through them and 2 free takes for the LSAT.

For the other schools, I emailed them after I had my score on record, but that was later in the cycle. However, they all got back to me within a few days at the latest.

I don’t think so. I didn’t know about LSACs fee waiver and ended up paying for CAS and two takes. I’m positive I would’ve qualified but since I’ve already paid for it I figured it’s a done deal to get the waiver for apps.

oh, okay. Yeah I was told by a friend after I had already been studying a while thankfully. I wish they would make this info more accessible by sending a mass email or something.

Thank you 7Sage!

I'm at work, so I can't write everything I want to express. But I got my dream score!

I truly don't think it would have been possible without the amazing community and J.Y. for all the love and support along the way.

Trust the process. Do the CC. Fool proof. PT. Blind Review. Repeat as necessary.

Most importantly, keep faith. (3(/p)

@ how often do I have to revisit the CC? Since I’ve done it once..

What I did was use the analytics to guide me. I would return to the lessons and review and drill whatever was giving me trouble. How often varied greatly; however, it was fairly often following my first time through.

Don't sweat it. Your diagnostic score tells you absolutely nothing about where you have the potential to ultimately score. Yes, you have a shot by September!

My advice is that you should use 7Sage and follow the core curriculum and that you should make the 163 the goal to work towards and not the arbitrary September test date. The fact that your BR score is not too far off from the score goal is very hopeful though.

Good Luck

It certainly felt that way when I was studying... At least from the 70s and up.

Anyone else have no life and is about to lose all friends because of LSAT? haha

I am curious how others balance studying and personal life?

When I studied I never had a ton of of time for social stuff. What I did do was make plans to do something fun almost every weekend. Often, this just meant grabbing a quick dinner with my GF or meeting up for a drink with my buddies. An hour here, another hour there type of thing. I generally wasn’t staying out until 2am at the club or going on any weekend trips though.

I took Sundays off from prep and that allowed me to have Saturday nights and all of Sunday to have fun.

Having a social life outside of the test is something I found to be important. It made studying a whole lot more manageable knowing I had something to look forward to.

June'18 Study Group | Blind Review PT 38 | Tuesday, Dec 12rd | 7:30 pm EST

I hope you're ready or gearing up to start PTing for the June 2018 LSAT. Join us this Tuesday if you are finished with the CC.

Provisional Schedule: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=f3n8s2l60gkgm2ju8m8kk4vhn4%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FNew_York

Note:

For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able on your own; then join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” KEEP THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOURSELF. Win the argument with your reasoning.

These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

Mark any questions you wish to go over on the spreadsheet below!

I haven’t researched the schools to know enough to help you make an informed decision, but if the outcomes are the same and you’d be okay with working in TX, I don’t think you can go wrong taking the money. Plus, being closer to family and having some familiarity is important. Those things certainly factored into my own decision.

@ said:

The one thing in common with LR: arguments. Are you correctly isolating them?

Find the argument FIRST before you seek assumptions, strengthen, weaken, etc.

@ said:

Reviewing your fundamentals by going over the cc and doing untimed practice to figure out your thinking process as you approach the questions will help you to see your weak areas and improve your accuracy.

Couldn’t agree more with this advice.

LR is complicated because it has so many different variables and question types. There are no easy tricks or tips, silver bullets or shortcuts to getting better.

As @ said above, a crucial skill is your ability to both understand and isolate the arguments before you do anything else. I would argue that this is the most important skill on LR.

I reviewed the CC until almost everything was second nature. I did this in conjunction with tons of untimed work. I think there’s a lot of value in untimed work... my thinking was, “if I can’t nail everything and anything untimed, I sure as hell won’t do better under the gun.” And with that in mind I changed my prep. I stopped taking PTs. I stopped doing timed work. I reviewed the CC and did a ton of untimed drills and sections. I consider this to be one of the most important turning points in my prep.

So, if you want to get better at LR, I would suggest doing everything you can to master the basics. Because that’s really all there is ...

Understanding on this test is never binary. It’s never that you either 100% get it or 0% get it. There’s always room for improvement with the fundamentals. Always.

For example, my logic was strong but I was constantly having to second guess myself and diagram out logic chains on easy-medium LR questions. That under-confidence and time spent diagramming out the logic robbed me of time on the harder questions. In turn, my score plateaued until I was able to really know this stuff like the back of my hand.

Use the CC like you would a piece of exercise equipment. The more you use it, the more progress you’ll see.

Best of luck!

Like most LSAT answers, it depends...

Experiment and keep data points to figure out what a sweet spot for you will be.

I found that I did better the more I warmed up. I’m sure there would have been a point of diminishing returns, but I never pushed it that far. I would do a set of games and the first half of an LR section I had already seen. However, for me, fatigue/endurance was never too much of an issue.

I’ve learned there is no best way... try it different things and do what works for you. It’s also going to depend on your personal life and schedule and how much energy and time you have to dedicate to your prep.

I didn’t have a ton and instead studied for 5-10 hours a week over the course of about 2 years. I did mostly timed sections & fool proofed with an emphasis on the modern tests (52+).

When will the "old" tests not be *AS* worth doing?

I've often contemplated and discussed this with many on this forum and others like it.

We now are going to have over 85 PTs available to prep from and drill from. But at what point are we going to have to just say, "only PTs 52-81" are worth doing?" Will there ever come a time? It is unsustainable to keep just starting from tests from the 90s and going working towards the most recent tests.

I've studied a bit for the GMAT/GRE and it seems that the idea of going through 80 tests is insane. When you have more and more tests, it seems we get less and less out of each test because subconsciously we know that there are 79 more left.

There's also the idea of diminishing returns. So many of the games, logical reasoning questions, and RC passages follow such a similar format that doing so many tests may hurt us by not giving us the time to focus on and get every last drop of juice out of newer PTs.

Sometimes I wonder if I'd be better just focusing on PTs 52-61, 62-71, and 72-81 (when released)?

I get the argument that fool proofing and drilling older games is what will help with the newer stuff. However, I'm just playing devil's advocate by asking if this might not be the best approach going forward. Those who oppose this mentality will claim the logic hasn't changed, and that's true, but the newer tests have a different voice and style and perhaps our time may be better spent spending an increased amount of time on newer exams?

Edit: Again, just paying devil's advocate and I don't actually 100% believe this to be a valid solution to the over abundance of tests. Just starting a discussion.

I think it looks like a good plan. I might suggest doing some timed sections to get acclimated and inured to the timing pressure that's inherent in the test. Don't be dogmatic with your studying and be willing to try out different things!

I feel that I can only spend 2 hours on CC materials per day, though I do have more time to work on it. I just feel that after 2 hours of CC learning, I can't really concentrate on it anymore....

And it is 95 hours in total, which kinda kills me... Right now I only completed 18%. Thanks god that JY is quite humorous~

When I was starting out and going through the CC, I would probably do around 2 hours of lessons per day. If it takes longer, then so be it. A good LSAT will change your life!

I have a 3.48 GPA. In college I was a premed major before switching to a BS in Sport Management. The worst grades that tanks my GPA are two classes I took as a premed major. With that being said my dream school would be NYU Law, I've taken the LSAT twice already went from a 148 -> 155. I'm aiming for 167+ (the lower 25th at NYU) and I'm a URM which I've heard helps. With my GPA am i crazy in thinking that I'd ever get into NYU? Any input/advice would be appreciated.

If you can nail a 167+ as a URM, you will have a solid chance at getting into NYU!

What type of URM are you? I'm a AA URM at NYU. If you wanna chat feel free to DM and I'll let you know my stats.

Welcome!

I tweaked it. I would constantly change the date to reflect my progress and anticipated test date.

If you can pull of 20 hours a week, 5 months seems like a reasonable goal to shoot for depending on your diagnostic score and ultimate end goal, of course.

Yes, I found the schedule to be comprehensive enough. The Ultimate package will have just about everything you need to succeed!

Good luck :)

I wish I would have known how important the most basic fundamentals are to your success. There’s really not a whole lot of advanced knowledge and strategies required to do well. The most important thing is having a strong understanding of the fundamentals outlined in the CC. If you can master all of that, no score is out of reach.

What do you mean when you say “good” school? Like a T14? Yes. You’ll be a super splitter, but with a high enough LSAT >75th%tile you’ll have at least a shot at some great schools. Apply early and broadly because splitter cycles are highly unpredictable.

I know Northwestern seems relatively kind to splitters and put a heavy emphasis on work experience.

Good luck!

How to Score a 160?

In my tenure on 7Sage and TLS it has always seemed like a 160 is seen as the minimum respectable score. I receive many messages a month about people asking me what it takes to hit the 160 mark. I get that it's not a 180, but it seems to be a score a lot of people are chasing. Perhaps they will continue to improve, but it still seems to be this benchmark that people generally strive to hit.

I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread where those who have scored a 160+ can give tips and advice on what skills, materials, and practices one should focus on to reach that score.

Disclaimer: I believe everyone should aim for a 180. Period. However, there are tons of people out there just aiming for a 160-165 range and I think it would be helpful to put together a thread with tips advice geared towards hitting that range.

Hey Ya'll,

So it is official that my last day of work will be the end of the month! It has been a great 2 years and I've learned a lot, but sometime around the holidays I realized working crazy hours and the non-stop stress was hurting me from moving forward with my LSAT prep. I'll still be working part-time doing some random things, but I'll be able to kind of do those on my time frame.

So for those of you who study full-time, what does your daily schedule look like? I'm sure everyone's is different and possibly vary greatly, but I'm just looking for some ideas. I am kind of crazy and feel like I'd just study from like 9am-9pm and burnout. This is something I really want to avoid.

I'm aiming to take in September or December 17'. I'll admit that I'll postpone until I'm PT'ing consistently where I need to be. 174+

I was thinking something like this:

8am: Wake up, work out, shower, etc.

9am - 11am Prep (Not sure what at this point)

12pm-1pm: BREAK for lunch and just stay sane. I'm used to taking this time from work anyways.

2pm-5pm: Prep more.

I think after 5pm I'll take a break until 7pm or so and then maybe prep more.

I'm kind of lost because I've never really had a whole day that I can design myself and study when I want.

What do you guys think?

Thank you so much for the response Castillo! I started really studying in November as well and am planning for an April take. Can you give me an idea of your study schedule? I ask because sometimes I get stuck on a section and focus on that only for too long and then feel like I get behind on another. Thanks again for the awesome response!

I bet almost anything you can make that score jump! Take stock of your score breakdown and see where you can pick up some "easy" points. Use the 7Sage score tracker to look for patterns and let that dictate how to move forward. I used to try to do 2 sections a day. Always an LG + LR/RC.

So a typical week would look like:

Mon - LG/LR

Tue - LG/RC

Wed - LG/LR

Thurs - LG/RC

Fri - Practice test

SAT + Sun BR + Review

I found this helpful because I was always keeping fresh on every section & perfecting my timing.

NB: This was after I had completed the CC and FP'd games.. Also, I'd take days off to review if any obvious problems arose. For example, there were def game types and LR question types that I found really unintuitive. I'd take all the time needed to study and address those issues. Lastly, check out some of the tutors on here. Looking back my only real regret with the LSAT was not getting one sooner. Oh, and maybe using Kaplan and Powerscore before I found 7Sage lol.

Good luck :smile:

So I didn't purchase a score preview for the August test. I want to purchase it now if its still possible, but I cannot find where on LSAC the option to purchase it is. Does anyone know if I can still buy the score preview, and if so where on LSAC? I went through the whole website.

Thanks

https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat/lsat-scoring/about-score-preview

It appears from the LSAC website link above that you still have time to purchase the preview (6 calendar days after test administration). This is assuming you are a first-time LSAT taker.

I can't access my old LSAC account right now, but I would call the LSAC tomorrow. I also can't find where to sign up on the site either.

I am taking the LSAT in October and November and am applying in hopefully November or December. Should I start thinking about my application materials like personal statement now, or should i spend all my time studying for the LSAT?

I'd highly suggest starting on your application materials. I think the PS that I ended up submitting when I applied was like version 4-5. It's certainly something you want to have sufficient time to revise and edit! More importantly----make sure to reach out to profs for your letters of rec early! One of my LOR took about a month. Profs are busy during the school year and can take a while to get back to you. So you'll want to leave plenty of time to follow-up.

Good luck!
