Does anyone know if there is somewhere that I can download past exams as PDFs instead of eBooks? I'm looking specifically for PT 72-77 ... not necessarily looking for a free download (if so, then great! lol) as I am willing to pay for them.

Does anyone know where I can find these? Or if anyone has PDFs of them --- would you be willing to share?

Thanks :)

I'm currently signed up for the September LSAT next weekend, but I plan on withdrawing from it because I don't feel ready. I've heard that if I take the December LSAT, even though pretty much every law school is willing to accept those scores, my chances of getting in might be lower/less scholarship money. I'm currently a full time student and I've been studying LSATs whenever I can. I made a pretty big leap from end of August until now, my average is about 162, but the last few I have taken under good, quiet conditions were around mid-160s (164, 166, 166). I'm aiming for a 170 but I'm not sure I can get there by December, nor do I want to lose out on a chance of getting into a great law school because I applied a little later in the cycle. Would it be better to wait for the next cycle (take the June 2017 LSAT, apply in the fall of 2017?) I would have already graduated by then, and would probably need to find a job or internship that is willing to take me for only a year. I've been struggling with these thoughts since September started. Thoughts, anyone?

I'm in need of advice. I've been feeling unwell since the beginning of this week, and I thought it was just another burnout. So I lightened my LSAT workload but kept doing school and work as usual. However, some flu symptoms showed up yesterday and I feel really sick today. I sat down to take a PT this morning, and felt extreme fatigue and had a horrible headache. I'm really worried for the test next weekend. I've been prepping for a long time, and I have been hitting my target score before this week. What should I do?

so hopefully this is a temporary loss of clarity, but I can't quite articulate the difference. In grouping games it seems that both A-->/B and A(--)/B can both be represented visually on a gameboard stacked in a box with a slash no? As in, if A is in a group then B is not; compared to A and B cannot both be in the same group.

Someone get my back!

Hello all! I have a quick question. I'm in the PT phase of my studies, and I'm wondering if 7sage has a tool that shows all the questions I've marked with a star? I typically star the questions I've got wrong on my first go around, and was hoping I could see a full list of those that I marked over the course of my studies thus far. I figured this would be a good strategy for addressing my weaknesses before I continue to move forward. Not sure if this is a thing or not, but any information/advice is always appreciated!

Hey Guys,

I've officially decided to take the December LSAT instead of the September LSAT. I experienced heavy burnout and took the last 2 weeks easy and in order to maximize my score I know I need to take it later.

My question is: How does one use the 7Sage starter package? Do you have any recommendations on how to use the videos to guide my studying. How many hours should I watch per day? Should I supplement the videos I watch with question sets not included in the quizzes? Do you recommend spending a couple days on a certain section?

I guess what I'm aiming for is to use the actual videos to build an even stronger foundation, however I want to finish that with enough time for me to do just PTs for a solid 3 weeks before the December 3rd exam date.

All in all: How did you use 7Sage to structure your learning? Thanks!

lawlz so this question is a monster, but watching JY's explanation helped.

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-76-section-2-question-24/

He explains that the larger argument pattern is:

A --> absurd

not(absurd)

-------------

not (A)

This really helped clarify what I was seeing here. BUT what I can't really fully understand is why we even need to further connect A-->absurd. Isn't A--->absurd already spelled out to us as a premise? Shouldn't we just accept that is what we're given and prove that the necessary assumption is not(absurd)? I understand how "popular" connects "intending pleasure" to "sales figures" but am failing to understand this on a larger level, I think.

w00t for last minute fine tuning with monster questions!

thanks in advance for any clarification here!

The Full Schedule

And if you’d like to see the full schedule for upcoming reviews, here it is:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=7sage.com_ft05lsm54j4ec1s6kj1d1bbpv0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Chicago

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.

    WE ARE UNDER 10 DAYS TO GO UNTIL SEPTEMBER TEST DAY. HAIR IS ON FIRE.

    One of my favorite things about 7sage is the analytics section for viewing trends and trying to understand the data of the test and the group of PTs as a whole for each individual 7sager.. But I was wondering if there were analytics or a way to have some indication as to what to expect from upcoming tests. As an example, I suppose it could be that, historically, the hardest tests are December tests, or that an experimental section question makes a real test appearance after (x) amount of tests, or that a test with a lenient curve is followed by an easier test with a stricter curve. Has anyone looked into this? Are there any broad analytics that can give us an indication as to what we should expect? Any advantage is one worth pursuing as far as I'm concerned!

    Thanks for your insight,

    James

    I have just upgraded to ultimate+ from ultimate for the sake of newer PT explanations. I was almost finished with my core curriculum in ultimate account and now the progress bar rolled back.......

    Lost some patience/confidence when I logged in again. Wish there could be a function to let us choose the lower account material only.

    Hopefully there is enough time for Dec Lsat.

    Hey everyone,

    I'm sure some of you have seen discussions about this too. Can anyone provide conclusive evidence that the writing sample must be written in cursive? I have been told that it needs to be, but I can't find anything that suggests this from the LSAC or in the directions for the writing sample. I really would rather not have to write in cursive, so if someone could put this to bed, I'd be very appreciative. :)

    Hi guys, I was helping my friend out with conditional logic today because I thought I had a grasp on the material but it turns out I dont....

    So there was a statement from one of his textbooks he asked me to help him out with and I got it wrong.

    Dmitry might play volleyball or squash, but he cant play both.

    (edit meant to say might play not, might can)

    So I thought great this is a bi-conditional because I see or but not both.

    So I made it into: (~V (---) S) & (V (---) ~S),

    But it turns out in his textbook the answer was (S -> ~V) & (V -> ~S).

    So is this a different way of showing the same relationship, if so do you prefer one method over the other?

    Hey,

    I am having trouble paraphrasing/anticipating the flaw in flaw/descriptive weakening questions that do not possess the typical or cookie cutter flaws.

    I read the stimulus, isolate conclusion and premises, and yet i cannot pin point what is exactly wrong with the stimulus.

    Again, this is more so for the questions that do not fall under the typical flaws we see time and time again.

    I should note, however, that once i get into the answer choices, i seem to do a good in applying the 2 step flaw test which leaves me to getting the answer choice correct or at the minimum , i am left with two possible AC's.

    Now with respect to paraphrasing or anticipating the flaw, Is this something that some of you experience as well, or is it just me?

    also, do a lot of you simply rely on the 2 step test for flaws or are you paraphrasing/ anticipating the answer choice most of the time?

    thank you.

    I finished community college with by GPA a little over a 3.8. I now have a bit over a 3.9 after a year in the university I transferred to. LSAC processed my GPA as a 3.72.

    71.4 hours earned as As. 14.7 hours Bs. 3 hours C. 3 hours D.

    I repeated that class I got a D in and got an A in it...signed all those forms so that the D wouldn't count against my GPA...LSAC still counts that?

    I also had 4 A+s in university, I thought that LSAC bumps your GPA up with A+s?

    I was thinking I would for sure have at least a 3.8 and I'd be in the 25th percentile of my top schools GPA wise and definitely be able to get merit scholarships if I did well on the LSAT. I'm actually not even in the 50th percentile (3.74 at UCLA).

    I really regret going to community college, I was told even by school counselors that law schools don't even look at your community college GPA, I had no idea that D would effect my life.

    *Should I rethink the schools that I apply to? Should I not even apply this year and stay a 5th year to finish my double major and get my GPA up?*

    I have started my senior undergrad year, and can only study around 10 hours per week instead of 20-30 that I was in the summer. My PT score has decreased over the last few tests! Is it because of the decreased time spent on studying??

    Hi Friends :)

    I'm feeling pretty good and ready and confident for 9 *HOLY COW* days from now. Not feeling terribly enthusiastic about taking another PT this weekend. Not sure it'd be that useful. But still might for routine's sake.

    What're your thoughts? Are you going to take a PT this weekend?

    I have not done PT 67 and 68 and am stuck between saving them in case I need fresh PTs for December (if I need to retake) and using them so I am familiar with the games in them. What do people with experience in those PTs think? I know from discussion threads I have seen (and from looking at the games categorizations) that 67 and 68 both have an unusual game in them. Will I be better off looking at those games or saving them? I certainly feel prepared for a good showing on this exam but with the LSAT you never know. I might be needing to do it again come Dec.
