I read here and there that the newest tests are harder and I should do my tests backwards in case you run of of time on my prep. Has anyone done this?

Hi,

Can schools see your LSAT score on your LSAC profile?

Occasionally an admin will send a message through a chat screen - informing me of a webinar/presentation etc. Once I close the screen I can't find how to re-access it. Is there a button somewhere that I am missing?

Hey, guys! So, I'm working through finishing the 7sage course to prepare for the September LSAT. One thing I've found myself wondering in preparing to anticipate answers for LR questions and to properly pace myself through the LR portions of the test is, "what makes a LR question hard or easy?" Is it the language and wording used in the question stem? Perhaps, the types of tricks employed in the answer choices? A combination of both of these and more?

Additionally, for me, some of the questions designated as more difficult, although, I don't have the Ultimate package so perhaps I'm not the best judge of this, are easier for me and some questions labeled as harder are easier. Is this a commonality among others or am I an anomaly? Your thoughts and insight would be greatly appreciated! :)

Hey everyone,

I'm studying for the September LSAT and have been at it a few months. Until recently, the way I've been setting up for games has been to create setups with initial rules and inferences in pen. Then, for each question I would add new information to my set up with pencil. This way I could easily erase from question to question and always go back to my original set up. However, I recently realized I would not be able to do this on the actual exams, because pens are not allowed (I know, stupid oversight).

So, now I feel a little a slower with games, trying to adapt to life without a pen. Each question I'm having to focus more of my brain's "RAM" on remembering what I shouldn't be erasing at the end of the question, instead of having my full processing power devoted to question itself.

I'm wondering how others approach their set up with a pencil. What strategies have people found to be effective? Do others do this so differently, that am looking at this all wrong?

Hey 7Sagers,

A user emailed me with a question they'd like to post anonymously. Here it is:

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

I am attending law school right now. I scored 148 on the LSAT...not really a head turner. My question is, should I try for a higher score? The school is ok, I'm satisfied here; BUT with a higher LSAT I think I can get more scholarship money. Thoughts?

Hey guys, so I completed the curriculum last week which took around three months. I am aiming to write the test in September 2016. I only wrote one practice test after finishing the curriculum and realized that my LR and RC need more improvement. Timing was also an issue since I could not get to all the LR questions and the last RC passage. Should I be doing PTs right away or go back to the curriculum and drill LR/RC? Also, I know that the schedule recommends doing PT36 to the most recent, but should I skip a few of the older ones so I will be able to complete the recent ones in time for September? Any feedback is appreciated! I just want to know what other 7sagers did after finishing the curriculum but weren't reaching the level of accuracy they wanted. Thank you!

Hi everyone. I took the June LSAT, and got a lower score than on any of my practice tests. I was sick leading up to the test, and probably should have canceled, but I was still stunned on getting a lower score than even on my first practice test ever. I was getting just under my target score up to the test date.

My worst section by far was LG, but even where I normally do very well, I was getting only 65% of the questions right.

I want to know if I should re-do sections of the course, or if I should just focus on taking prep tests....

Thanks!

Because some of us are trying to study for the LSAT . . .

So i'm currently going through the curriculum and when I go to blind review my answers I only change a couple, however about 80% of those tend to be wrong? My original answer is usually right. Am I just overthinking things? Anyone else have this problem?

I have definitely improved on LR and LG, but not really on RC. any tips for further improvement on RC. I dont really see what new techniques I can apply. I saw how Leia take RC PT's on live commentary and I tried to emulate her, but it did not really helped me.

This one's for you America.

Note:

Why is (A) right and not (D)? I cannot for the life of me figure this out

After BR, should I watch still watch the explanation videos of the 1. non-circled questions I got correct with 100% confidence and the ones I circled and got right with no answer change? Thank you!

I'm starting got do the problem sets as drills. Should I time myself to see how long it takes me or set a count down timer for 7 min.

Hey 7Sagers, thanks for taking the time to read this and answer my conundrum. My issue is LGs; specifically - which boards to use and what the setup should look like. Unsurprisingly, if I can set the game up correctly I can answer any question choice. Even more so, if I know what type of logic game it is (during the 7sage course curriculum) I can usually get -2 questions per section. I tried JY's suggestion of repeating logic games with clean copies but when I repeat the game I remember the logic game and the board setup without fail - even after several days. This method has not helped me in improving PT logic games where I'ver never seen those games before; it's like my brain is learning by assigning a setup to specific variables and not the broader context of the game. What are some things that you guys can recommend to help sharpen my ability to decipher the games and to determine which boards should be used on games I've never seen before? My LG is my weakest area by far and it will be the key to increasing from my current 161 average to the upper 160s/low 170s that I'm aiming for. I'm very grateful for your suggestions.

Yours,

Can someone help me with this one?

I don't understand why B is not right. The stimulus I thought was saying that if it's something you don't have control over, then you are not responsible for it. And Therefore, If it's a consequence of something you don't have control over, the you should be held responsible.

Then it says that everyone sometimes acts in ways that are a consequence of treatment they received as infants, so doesn't that make the inference that everyone sometimes acts in ways that they are shouldn't be held responsible for. So therefore, I don't understand how E is the correct answer but B is not supported. Because my thinking was that for E, it talks about adults only, and the stimulus says that everyone, including little children and like adolescents, sometimes acts in these ways that you shouldn't be held responsible for.

So doesn't that mean that you could have been like 12 and acted in some way that was a consequence of treatment you received as an infant, and then as an adult you never did that again. So how is B not the right answer because that's exactly the possible that it captures and E doesn't Also, for B, i was hesitant over its saying "commonly performed" but then, if everyone sometimes does it, that's commonly performed, is it not?

I read this article about the best ways to stay hydrated and I definitely see some instruction worth trying for LSAT practice. If it seems to work, I'll try it during the actual exam. Thought others would be interested in this new study as well.

Looking for where we keep all of the videos of people taking sections with the overhead cam. I mainly am looking for RC but I can't find where we keep any of them. Thanks x1000

I have no clue, why my score goes down, as I take more PTs. I took three so far, and the score went down as I took each one. Hoping it will improve in a long run!

This time last year I was starting to write my personal and diversity statements for law school. I was frustrated and getting nowhere, so I bought different books and started doing online research to figure out what exactly to include in my essays and how to frame myself in a way that was appealing for admissions. After a few months of hard work, I had two quality statements completed.

I know that not everyone has the time or resources to personally review their application materials, or they do and just don't know where to start. There are a lot of gaps, and I'd like to help where I can. I was lucky enough to have a strong support network and access to resources that let me put together my essays. If any of you would like, I can review your essays and provide feedback. Send me a message and we can go from there :)

Hi all,

I recently discovered that I'm in a bit of a pickle. Due to my poor foresight and somewhat recent decision to write the LSAT, my Amazon delivery for PTs 28 - 38, 52 - 61, and 62 - 71 will arrive as early as 2 weeks and as late as a month and a half... Unfortunately, I'll be writing in September and I'm about to finish the core curriculum, and require the PTs rather urgently.

I was wondering for Canadian 7Sagers if the aforementioned PT volumes delivered earlier than listed, or if there were viable alternatives to the paper volumes. Would printing a collection of silent video screenshots suffice?

Thanks!

I need help o Must be true questions. I have noo idea where to begin

So am I understanding right, it's beneficial to practice the same questions? Or do them once & then never again. Or even if get right keep doing again & again or better to move on? My first & main focus is the getting great at the LG as I did well on other sections. Well enough anyway. I'm just trying to raise 10 points & my weakness is LG. I plan on spending then next several doing nothing but games. Along with working full time & raising 3 kids.. Ha
