Im freaking out a little... so, I miss way more questions when I do a timed test vs untimed test.

I'll usually miss like 3- 5 questions on a lr section untimed but when I time myself, I will miss like 9 questions on a lr section.

I'll miss about 4-5 questions on rc (my most difficult section), but when timed, i miss like 12 questions or more.

Definitely not good.

Also, on timed tests, i miss more on my second lr section than first...and usually i will start missing a bunch of questions toeards the end of the section. Is this test fatigue?

Has anybody struggled with missing more questions on timed tests and dealing with test fatigue? If so, any tips and advice that might help?

Please and thank you!

Hello, I am new to 7 sage and have a general question. Are there any LSAT formatted questions included within the course work of 7 Sage. Or is the only way you practice those type of questions is on your own through resources, LSAT question bank?

Hi all,

I've recently started my applications and was wondering if anyone would mind taking a gander at my resume

Thanks!

Hi!

Is there a list as part of 7sage's resources or discussion board that shows the schools and whether they require school-specific essays for applications(or specific optional essays)? I thought I saw this floating around somewhere a long time ago and I'm having trouble finding it.

Thank you!

Hi all -

I'm aiming to take the test in December and/or February, with June as a backup.

Thus far, I've finished the CC, taken PT36, Foolproofed games from PTs 1-15, and worked on some LR and RC drills.

From here on out, I'd like to take a PT each Saturday. I'm wondering --

(1) Is it possible/advisable to continue Foolproofing games (PTs 16-35) while also running this type of PT cycle, or should I dedicate myself to finishing the Foolproofing before doing more PTs? (With the latter approach -- I'm worried that I'm not getting enough exposure to full-length PTs).

(2) For those planning on Dec or Feb -- do you all have any recommended PT schedules? If I do a PT per week, I can expect to finish about 9-10 PTs by the time Dec rolls around, and then I plan on doing 2 PTs per week between the Dec & Feb exams in order to get an additional 20 PTs by Feb. (This would also leave me with about 15 fresh PTs until June, in case I need to retake).

(3) Is there a recommended order in which to take the PTs (i.e. might it be best to mix up older and recent tests since time is limited until Dec/Feb)?

Many thanks!

Hey everyone,

So I was hoping you guys could give me some feedback on my recent LSAT studies. I am planning to eventually take the LSAT as I want to earn a JD/MBA. I was studying for the LSAT from January 2016- August 2016 and soon stopped because it got to be too much with my classes; I am a senior majoring earning a degree in business administration. I had quit also because of frustration. I was hitting 154-160 on timed practice tests in August 2016 after studying all Spring and summer; I felt that logical reasoning became my most consistent section as I progressed from getting only 5 per section wrong untimed to timed. My performance on logic games and reading comp was very fickle, though oddly on a good day my highest section scores have been in those sections. Anyways I digress. I took an untimed practice test recently after several months of not studying and got a 165 untimed. This is the highest I've ever gotten untimed and I would honestly be satisfied with anything above a 162 on test day. At this point should I start going back to timed practice? Even though I haven't studied for several months I feel like taking a break has really given me a fresh perspective, but I'm just scared to go straight back into timed practice. Also I don't feel like it make sense to try and postpone practice until you get a 175+...maybe 170. How can I get a 162+

Hi, I am trying to acquire PT77 to PT81. Are there any PDFS or digital versions available that I will get to print multiple times?

So I was just about done with the CC with 4 Logic games to go, when all of a sudden I cant seem to concentrate anymore, whether I am trying to just watch a video on how to do an LG or do it on my own. I don't really understand why I am tired when I usually work through the CC an average of 6 days a week, leaving Sundays as a rest day because I'm busy on that day anyway. Any thoughts or advice? The December Test is almost here so I feel like I do not have time to burn out now.

You will start your week off right. You will get through the LSAT. You will get your score. You will apply and get into law school. You will be a lawyer and do awesome lawyer things!

For any 7sagers out there feeling stressed/ frustrated/ fatigued/ etc, you're not alone; and you are more than your current circumstance. Keep grinding!!

Cheers,

Chris

Did anyone who took the Sept 2017 LSAT with accommodations take the same test as the normal one, even after the normal test date?

Hi everyone,I was wondering if anybody had any strategies on how to study misc or really weird/one of a kind type games?

As an example consider G4 from Prep-Test 72. I bombed that game during my practice test, and I'm not sure what else to do besides watch the video. Its not like bombing an in-out game where you can refer to back to many other examples of in-out games and practice those. This game seems like a one of a kind sort of thing.

I'm writing the test in Dec. and I'm just worried because if something along the lines of the above example game comes up, I don't think I'll do very well on that game. The silver-lining in the clouds here is that I'm comfortable with all the more formulaic or generic types of games (e.g. in/out, sequencing etc.). But if I run into a G4 from PT 72 in dec. that could be a big score difference, and affect my admissions chances for specific schools :/

Hi All,

I'm putting together my resume for my law school applications and I've come across two issues that I'm not quite sure what to do with.

Back in sophomore year, I won an award for a research project (I was 1 out of 5 winners). There was a ceremony, where we all gave speeches. I ran a Google search for this award and my name. My project came up along with a statement I had written-- all fine with me. However, the video of the ceremony also came up (It's an hour long video and my speech is 3 minutes at the end...but I am also the video "screen shot", so whether or not you watch the video, someone clicking on the page would see an image of me giving my speech). I DO NOT WANT AOs WATCHING MY SPEECH. It is an incredibly immature speech...I joked about how I tend to skip class (which is just not true...I hardly ever skipped class. I said that out of pure nervousness), I was not grammatically correct in more places than one, I come across like an airhead at points...it's just not something I'm proud of. I can't seem to find the video if I just Google my name, but if I Google the name of the award, I can find mine by clicking on the year I received it. If I Google the name of the award and my name, I will find it no problem. If I Google my name and my alma mater, I will find it no problem. My question is-- how concerned should I be that an AO will dig deep enough to find this video? Should I just leave the award off my resume to decrease the chances they will find it? It's a pretty impressive award, so I think it will help my resume, but I'm also convinced that, if for whatever reason, the AO researches me enough, they will find this video. Granted, they would have to make the decision to watch the video or skip through to find my speech--but I am featured as the video image, so that increases the chances of that happening a bit.

I was the President of a club at my alma mater that apparently no longer exists? I guess when I left my school, no one resumed the role of the President and it sort of just ended. I can't find any record on the school website or anywhere else of the existence of this club, which is a real bummer because we used to have a website where I was featured as the President. I'm nervous to put this on my resume because I don't want an AO to try and verify this and not be able to find it. I mean, if they called my school and asked about it, I can only assume the school will be able to verify that this club existed in the past (we were an official club through the student government), but I'm not sure they will put that much effort in. My question is this--if an AO cannot find this club via Google, am I taking a risk that they will think I am being dishonest? Or am I being wayyyy too paranoid? Everything else on my resume is verifiable by a Google search, except for this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I logged into the LSAC's website to change my test center and came across the notice that the December 2017 LSAT scores will not be available until February 2018. I was planning to complete my applications by the end of November/beginning of December but I am worried that I might be at a disadvantage to get into some law schools. Is anyone planning on taking the December LSAT as well? Should I just take the test this year and apply in September of 2018 instead?

I’ve always wondered how people approach the LR section. Do you read the question stem first or stimulus? After that, how do you approach the question - finding conclusion and the support?

Also, what is the best way to review LR? And what are some important fundamentals when it comes to the LR section of the test? Thanks :)!

Have any of you guys ever sent electronic transcripts to LSAC? The clearinghouse states that my undergraduate transcript has been sent, but I have no confirmation of reception with LSAC. If you guys have done it electronically, how long does it normally take to get confirmation?

7sage Community,

I'd like to take a moment to share my facebook page with this community that has been so close to me over the last 12+ months.

https://www.facebook.com/johnny.falcon.3

Please visit if possible, and show support!

I've had the incredible opportunity of meeting of meeting a few folks from the 7sage community. I turn to the discussion boards to keep me sane when I need that break from studying. This time, it's to ask for support. After last night's events in my hometown, I want to help in any way I can. For personal reasons, I am compelled to do what I can to give back to the city that has raised me.

Please note that I have partnered with @"Dillon A. Wright" before posting.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Hi again,

As with yesterday, I made another parallel (flawed) argument for an LR stimulus I had troubles with. I would appreciate it if you could help out by answering :)

:cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie:

Letter to the editor: Your newspaper seems to heavily biased against renewable energy. The study presented in the article "Can We Survive on Renewable Energy?" distorts evidence and shows flawed reasoning. The article states that countries with lower rates of renewable energy had lower average cost of electricity than other countries. However, that will not be the case for long, since the average cost of electricity is increasing in the countries with lower rates of renewable energy. Thus, the evidence actually supports the view that the use of renewable energy should be increased.

The reasoning in the letter writer's argument is flawed in that it

(A)　concludes based on evidence from the article it criticizes

(B)　fails to take in to account the possibility that using renewable energy is often costly

(C)　fails to take in to account the possibility that not everyone wants to use renewable energy

(D)　fails to take in to account the possibility that the average cost of electricity in other countries is also increasing

(E)　does not show any evidence against the viewpoint in the article

Hi All,

So I've started writing practice exams from 9am-1pm on Saturdays to prepare myself for my exam on Dec 2. Heres my problem: whenever I write my exam around 12:00 my stomach starts growling really loudly, I start getting hungry. I'm just wondering if anyone is on the same boat as me? I don't really like eating a big breakfast at 7:30 am so idk what to do.. LOL

I know Sufficient Assumptions! Lol...

Learning is fun, exciting, challenging, and intriguing all at the same time, and so much more!

The LSAT makes me hate myself. That is all.

The title says it all

Hey everyone! Loving 7sage so far! My Starter access expires on Oct. 15. I bought the Starter because I wanted to try out the course before I committed to Ultimate+. I have (of course!) decided that I love 7sage and would love to get the Ultimate+ course. I have a couple of questions though:

Is it better (read cheaper!) to upgrade and add-on more months after or should I just let this one expire and buy Ultimate+ outright with 18 months of access? I definitely want to get a great score and would like to put in at least a year of dedicated prep, so I would need more than the 3 months of additional access that you get when you upgrade.

If I buy Ultimate+ outright or upgrade to it, will the history of work I did in Starter still be preserved?

Looking forward to learning from and giving back to this amazing community!

Thanks!

-Eeshan

[Admin note: Ultimate+ includes 12 months now]

The video doesn't open..any suggestions thanks

I received a 150 on my first practice test. With 8 months until the June test, is it possible to bring this to at least a 165? I feel very discouraged about this starting point.....

Should I start 7sage during this super busy semester (research fellowship, 17 credits, 2 jobs) or begin in January when my load is a bit lighter?

I have a 3.9 GPA and would hate for a crappy LSAT to ruin my opportunities. Thanks for the help, as always!
