Thanks, @ I had seen this list and it was what I was referring to when I talked about the high prices.

I cannot find 39-51 for a low price on Amazon, sorry! Here is 41-50, but it is VERY expensive: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1453820698/ref=olp_tab_all

I'd much rather put my money toward 7Sage than to the keepers of the exams, but I understand. Thanks, again.

Thanks everyone for your comments, but I guess my post was not clear. Everyone coming to 7Sage's defense is reassuring and reinforces my decision to use 7Sage.

Like I said, I understand there are things out of 7Sage's control. I think it's a good product and I'm still using it as a tool to prepare for the LSAT. I wrote this as a suggestion to 7Sage to change the tests offered in the starter bundle (PT 36-44 + June07) to make it more cost effective for those of us who don't have PDF access to all the PTs that come in our course.

I could have researched it further before I purchased the course, but 6 out of the 10 PTs I have 7Sage explanations for are not found in the 10 actuals books. Would that have affected my decision to use 7Sage? I don't know, but I find the PT explanations helpful.

To break it down, the 10 Actuals books cost about $25 each and have 10 exams in each one. For some reason they do not have exams 39-50. To get the PTs that I have 7Sage explanations for, I would need to pay $65-100 for a book that has 4 of them and get the others as individual tests for about $8 each.

I was simply suggesting that since 7Sage cannot provide the PDFs, they shift the exams they offer in the starter course to exams that are available with a cheaper option.

@: I posted this comment in the suggestions for 7Sage section of the discussion board, which I think is the right place to make this comment and I do believe my suggestion is still valid.

Feeling a little cheated

So, I understand why we can't download PDFs containing actual LSAC exam materials, but I can't help but feel a little cheated. I signed up after the whole download period ended. I know someone wants to reply and tell me about licensing fees and how 7Sage still has to pay all these fees for actual questions. I do understand.

My suggestion is to change the exams and PS that come with the the bundles to PTs that are available in the 10 Actuals books. Although not ideal, they are definitely a cost effective option. Having to pay full price for individual exams that are not available in those books or high prices for books that include 6 of the 10 exams that are included in the starter course just feels like a slap in the face and certainly does not make me want to invest even more money to upgrade my course.

I am not trying to come off angry, because I am not, but I do feel like I paid full price for half the product that other people received. It's a good product, but it used to be much better and I missed out.

General · Law Admissions Timeline Issue --Help!!

@ I think it's great he is trying to prioritize your goals. My partner went through the residency match 4 years ago and fellowship applications last year. I was still finishing undergrad. I know it's super stressful and also exciting. His applying to programs where you also will be happy is a good start. My advice is to not stress out too much about the nuances of admissions at particular schools yet and just make sure there is a school in the area you would consider attending (which it looks like you're already doing). Once he starts receiving interview invitations, that will help narrow things down and you can get into all the details with the law school adcoms in those places.
