Hey guys,

I'm seeking advice on the proper way to check up on a letter of recommendation. I asked a professor, through e-mail, near the end of February, if he would write me a letter of recommendation. He said yes, told me to send him info from LSAC, and that he would have it done by the end of that week. It has been almost a month and LSAC has yet to receive a letter.

Just wondering what the best way to check up on the LOR without being a 'pest,' so to speak.

Thanks

I had to halt my study since last September test (yikes) and I am ready to jump back into LSAT. I only had 3 months to prepare for September 2014 Lsat and was hoping to have a good year to prepare for this coming October test but with a newborn baby (born on Dec, 2014) and a full time job, it just was impossible to make any time for a study.

I hope past study was not a complete waste of time.

I am considering taking 7 sage premium course. Has anyone had a big improvement after taking the course? Also, how does upgrade work? If I start with premium then want to sign up for Ultimate, do I just pay the difference or do I have to pay Thor the full Ultimate course?

Thank you in advance!

So on my diagnostic, i'm not sure I did the blind review correctly. I transferred all my answers over to the answer sheet on 7sage, then it just gave me my regular and blind review score. When do I go back after I complete the practice test to review my answers without time constraints? Before or after transferring them to 7sage?

Hello everybody,

I often struggle at the beginning of my studies. Some of the time I seem to become mentally alert quickly and other times it takes me awhile to reach my optimal attentiveness. It is often discouraging as when I am very alert I do extremely well (missing zero questions) and a lot worse when I am not. Is the inconsistency normal? How do you guys prepare to study/take PTs? I find that my comprehension is very high and maybe this is just a speed issue....I am not exactly sure what the cause of my inconsistency is but I am sure that I want to eliminate it. Any suggestions/encouragement is appreciated.

I really want to score in the 170s,

Thanks

just wondering if other people think the newer prep tests feels quite different than the earlier ones? I was doing pretty well with the older tests and just switched over the newer tests and not doing so well all of the sudden (4.3 point drop on avg). LGs felt immensely easier, averaging -1 at the moment with 10 minutes to spare. But RC felt a lot more tricky, not so much the questions themselves but the answer choices seem to have more/better attractive wrong answers. LR seems to be less structured as well, but i think i can get this section to catch up pretty soon.

any thoughts?

Has anyone thought that the decision to stop the distribution of prep tests might be good for us competition wise? In the future, LSAT test takers will not have the old tests to review and practice from. Maybe this gives us an advantage.

The method on 7sage seems like it would work, but I have some concerns. This is a category i'm having trouble with improving on. From what I understand, 7sage suggests you should go over the games once you finish, then keep reviewing it until you have it down 100%. I've seen the "Fool Proof Method", but I was wondering if on the LSAT I take in June, is there only a certain number of ways games are portrayed, that can be solved with a set number of methods? This is hard to explain, but if I memorize how to do the LG on the 70-74 PT should I be pretty solid for the LSAT?

Hey, everyone. I've been studying for the LSAT for a while now and would like to more fine tune my studying in LR. I remember some mentioning packages by question type, but I cannot remember where they can be found. Would anyone be able to help with this? And if such sets exist, do they interfere with PTs currently left untouched by 7Sage?

I am taking the LSAT in June and I am looking to take a course in the mean time leading up to the test date. I've seen a few courses offered in my area, but a lot intertwine with my work schedule. I was wondering if anyone knew of any that met once a week on a weekend or anything of the sort? Thanks for any input.

I am in the DFW area in case anyone knows of any specifically applying to my area.

I've just started the first LG module and am on the first problem set (Sequencing Games Homework Set 1). We're asked to tackle it after doing just four logic games along with JY in the prior few lessons.

The problem is that I don't feel those first few lessons offer enough grounding for us to be able to tackle an entire problem set, aim to do it in 10 mins and fool proof them. Each game, for example, contains a bunch of game rules the prior lessons didn't introduce us to, and we're not experienced enough yet in drawing inferences to be able to see them all.

Is it acceptable to treat these problem sets as video lessons, and work through them with the videos rather then just try to tackle them alone? I feel more grounding is needed before we try to tackle questions alone.

I took my first LSAT practice blind, without reviewing any material. I Scored a 146. I have about 11 Weeks until the June 8th LSAT. I will be able to study a lot. I don't work full time and I will be able to devote 4 days a week to complete studying. I would be ecstatic if I scored over a 160. Does anyone think this is possible?

Hey all,

I have been waitlisted at University of Washington and Boston College and I'm certain that my LSAT score was the reason for this. I am planning to retake in June to either get off waitlists this year or reapply next year with a better score.

Are people generally successful at gaining admission off of waitlists if they retake the June LSAT and perform better (5+ point increase)? Does anyone here ( hint hint, JY Ping & co. :D) have any suggestions for how to approach retaking the LSAT? I've used much of my study material already...

Does anyone know if this is allowed or looked down upon. Furthermore, do I need to check my prescription in with someone? I take medication for my ADD, and I was wondering if I would be allowed to take it during the 15 minute break. Please no judgements, this is a completely legal prescription.

So I finally decided to make a free account, do some of the introductory lessons and then do the June 2007 test as a diagnostic. My problem is that I realized I have no real idea how much I can expect to improve from this point on, or how long that might take.

I scored a 166, with more than half of my errors in Logic Games. Lost 3 marks in reading comp, 1 in each of the logic reasoning sections, and 7 in logic games.

I know that the games are meant to be the easiest to improve at, but where could I realistically expect to end up, if going for the June test this year? I was hoping to try for 170-172, but I have no idea if that's possible in this timeframe.

Hello, everyone!

I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the recent LSAT changes. If you have not here's a recent post with the article attached: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2484/lsac-licensing-changes.

Anyway, I know a lot of people are probably freaking out. Hell, I made sure to DL all that I needed from 7Sage when I first read the news. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered. What happens to 7Sage and other online based prep courses? How will this affect how I study? When will changes take effect, and how soon? How will this affect my subscription? I mean, after all, we all did pay X amount for X amount of time. This all includes the PTs, lessons, and videos for every question. Well, here's the direction I THINK LSAC is heading towards.

We all know that 7Sage uses paid subscription, and that we are allotted a limited amount of time of which can be extended at any time. My understanding is, LSAC no longer wants PDF PTs to be free to circulate once someone is done with any course that utilizes these PTs. So, my assumption is they will change the format of future PTs to another file type, and will have all prep test courses that use PDF PTs to switch over to this new file type. This will be similar to renting a digital textbook at any university/college. You purchase the license, and after X amount of time the file deletes itself or is no longer accessible. It's not much different than the current system at 7Sage, minus the PTs will self-delete. It's like losing the ultimate package after one year of being subscribed to 7Sage, we just can't keep the PTs we downloaded a long time ago.

Along with everyone else, I'd like to hear what the higher ups have to say about this. @"J.Y. Ping" and @"Dillon A. Wright"!

If you have any alternate theories or anything that compliments what I wrote, please discuss! Anticipate the worst, hope for the best!

I'm sticking to the study schedule created for me as much as I can. But was just wondering if BR/drilling time is factored into the stated weekly hours, and the hours next to each module title?

For example, the first Logic Games module comes in around 7.5 hours (stated by 7Sage) but adding up the video/quiz times comes to much less. Therefore, I'm assuming some drilling time is factored in?

I only ask because, if it isn't, I want to build a schedule where I allocate many more hours to each module in order to drill. Same for the PTs when it comes to BR.

Thanks!

Everytime I use the app it crashes within 3 minutes or so. Super frustrating! I've tried re-installing, closing all other running apps, but the problem perists. Help please!
