Okay, I am in need of some advice that might sound strange to some. So, I'm not exactly a small person, in fact I'm six feet eight inches tall so I don't exactly fit into a lot of things very well. Mainly, the desks in a classroom. I find when I do some timed PTs I am slumped way over in my seat, and after about three sections my back starts screaming at me. It got to the point last Friday that I had to stop my test and stand up for a minute to loosen up and stretch. Are there are other 7sagers who have this problem? I am worried because on test day I know I will not be able to pause my exam like a video game. My back really hurts after about two sections and it takes away from my concentration. This is making me feel like an old man at the ripe age of 23. Thoughts?

Good evening, all:

My time at 7Sage is coming to an end, as I’ll be taking my last LSAT retake on Saturday. I just want to thank the 7Sage staff and community for all their help, insight and transparency throughout my time studying. Before my account expires, to all the test takers, I just want to offer some advice. My score has increased since my diagnostic, but not only because of the sacrifices I’ve made for devoting most of my time to studying, but also, and more importantly in my opinion, is that I have made taking this test and studying for it exciting and fun. I think that everyone should be excited to take this test and not dread it when the time comes to take the actual test. This is the first step to becoming a lawyer, and regardless of what type of lawyer you want to be, this test is the first step, or one of the first, in getting you there. So for all my February test takers, and all the ones who are taking it after Feb, enjoy this experience. Enjoy taking the test. You are going to be reading and analyzing things your whole career now, so you might as well enjoy it and make it fun!

Thanks again to all the staff. JY, you have a phenomenal service and are doing the community a great service.

Cheers!

I have two test options equi-distant from my home. Taking a complete day, I visited both test centers and realized that all of the advice on this site is paramount to finding the most optimum site to take the test. My two options are polar opposites: one is in an amphitheater venue accommodating over 100+ and the other has small rooms with no more than 20+ per room. I was fortunate on my visit that I met the director over-seeing the LSAT for both sites and she unequivocally said that the amphitheater environment was a detriment to the test takers due to the time necessary to validate all test takers credentials upon entry and after the break. They took me on a tour of the actual rooms where the test is administered, showed me where the bathrooms were and gave me advice about where to park. I went immediately to check out local hotels and with such a small mountain town, I found a quiet "Express" type hotel that I have booked for the night before the test.

With over a year invested in studying for the LSAT, my test site will hopefully be the least of my concerns.

Hello everyone, I have narrowed down my weakness in LR section to Flaw, PFlaw and SA questions. Mostly getting these questions wrong. I was wondering if there is anything I can do besides just drilling a bunch of these question types?

I studied hard for the October 2015 LSAT . I think I studied around 6 months but only managed to pull off a 154. I took November and December off from studying and started 7sage in January 2016. I felt like I had burnt out studying for the October exam because thats all I would do is study everyday for long hours (I am not enrolled in school and do not have a job). This time around I decided to do more of a less stress-intensive approach (I'm focusing on 3 effective hours per day). I just finished the course from 7sage and now I will be doing full LSATs and reviewing them thoroughly. Do you guys think I will be able to break 160 by June from doing LSAT prep-tests 35-75? I am focusing on 2 pre-tests per week. Also has anyone else had a similar experience to my struggle with this exam?

Be sure to click the link of the conversation you’re attending and announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

February Test Takers Schedule: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6609/february-test-takers-group-br-schedule-very-tentative

Fine Print (NOTE: you all want to be lawyers; reading fine print is what lawyers do, so READ IT!)

BR GROUP NOTES:

  • If you want to attend these sessions, you MUST click that link.
  • Here’s an FAQ on GoToMeeting.com: http://www.gotomeeting.com/meeting/online-meeting-support
  • Then, download the application (for your computer or mobile device).
  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; 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.” Use 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.

    I was reading the Trainer and I came through a simple example "She does not consume too much caffeine because she only drinks one cup of coffee a day and one cup of coffee is not too much caffeine for a person to consume daily"

    Coffee is the only substance she consumes that contains caffeine - this is something which fills the gap but is not necessary. I am, however, having trouble in understanding this cause its negation can really hurt the way premise supports the conclusion. Could anyone help in clarifying?

    Hello,

    I usually try to wake up around 6 - 7 AM to go work or study. Since I am taking the June LSAT and want to condition my mornings as close as possible to the morning of June 6th, how should a morning person best prepare before taking the PTs/LSAT exam at 12:30 PM? Does anybody have any special routine that has worked for them leading up to 12:30 PM without hitting a mid-afternoon slump? Possibly how to keep your brain functioning at peak level?

    Hi!

    Can you circle the question numbers on the scantron for later review during the real exam? Not sure if I would have to erase the circles once moving onto the next section or if I could just leave them. I would hate to be docked points for having an additional circle on the scantron.

    Also, how much does a filled in bubble need to be erased? I'm waiting for my ticeronda pencils to arrive (after seeing a former great 7sage post) but in the meanwhile I have been using crappy pencils from Target that leave faded pencil marks still in the bubble, although I've erased so hard that the scantron bubble itself is nearly missing. Is this a problem? How sensitive is the machine that reads the scantron?

    I haven't taken a scantron exam in 10 years.

    Thanks!

    Like PT77 game 4, how do you know if grouping game can be done using a chart ? During my preptest i used 3 column (x,y,z) with three rows (L,S,T) and it took me lots of time to complete. Is there any clue, that shows a game can be done using a chart ?

    Looking at my admission ticket, it only has a line that states

    Last 4 digits of Social Security/Social Insurance or LSAC issued #.............

    Should it contain my entire SSN and my LSAC account number?

    When I go to watch the walk through of the logic games, the youtube version of the walk through is no longer an option for some reason and I can only switch to the 7sage video player. I would like to use the youtube video though, is there a setting that may have turned off somewhere?
