I finished the curriculum and did about 4 practice tests so far and i'm seeing dramatic score variations (like from 154 to 163 and back down to 151)... is this normal?? I'm wondering if the 163 was an anomaly and i'm trying not to get discouraged. I know it's still early in the PT stage, but what is everyone's experience with their score varying during PTs?

Hi, I was making up statements to practice and I'm confused about how "no" works when there is a double negative (or what I think is double negative). The statement reads: "No one who fails to come to the party is David."

Based on JY's lesson, we isolate "no" as a Group 4 Necessary Condition indicator. The first idea is "Fail to Come to the Party" (FTCTP) and the second idea is "David" (D). So, I pick either of the two ideas, negate it, and make it a necessary condition. I chose the first idea.

D --> /FTCTP

which, I think, can be rewritten as D --> CTP since "Not Fail to Come to the Party" is essentially "Come To the Party"

Is this lawgic accurate? Some of my friends are suggesting that because of the "fail to", the correct lawgic would be: CTP --> D

and now im confused :(

thanks in advance for your input!

Hi all,

I've been studying for the LSAT rigorously since about mid-March. My diagnostic test was a 154 and since then I've gotten up to the low 160s, but I've completely plateaued in the last several weeks. I can't seem to ever get above a 165, which is really disheartening. Any advice on how to overcome the plateau/pessimism I'm feeling at the moment would be immensely appreciated.

I am sorry if this was already discussed, but I cannot seem to figure out how to enter my BR score into the answer sheet after I already entered my original score. Could somebody please let me know how to proceed?

Thank you.

Why does JY in his videos always recommend reading the question stem first? Can't that be confusing sometimes without having read the stimulus? Also, If you read the question stem before and after reading the stimulus, doesn't that waste time? I'd be really grateful for an explanation as to why reading the question first is the best strategy.

All the different companies use different phrases for question types and I'm getting a bit confused by the different terms. Can someone explain what pseudo sufficient questions mean?

Hey so does anyone know what question types appear the most on the lsat and which appear the least? I wanted to know so i could study accordingly and focus on getting the ones that appear the most right.

retaking LSAT in September, last time i took the test i was not prepared (3 months was not long enough)

anyways i'm looking for those who have studied for this test and worked simultaneously to give me some suggestions on how to handle a schedule that will not overwhelm me and keep studying fun and creative.

im open to ALL suggestions! Please HELP!

I know you can't expect to see a huge increase in your LR score a day after you finish the 7sage course. But any success stories to keep me motivated would be great. I feel like I am really learning with 7sage but people on these forums still recommend buying either a manhattan LR book or the lsat trainer to supplement. I thought 7sage would give you everything you need as long as you drill, drill, drill and blind review is key right? I read through the powerscore bibles and by far I feel like 7sage is so much better.

Any insight would help!

Earlier this evening I was waiting for the train at the Fulton St. subway station when I noticed a young woman walking towards me carrying a violet/purple colored book. The familiar color and size of the book caught my attention. I immediately pieced together my observations and assumed that it was a Kaplan test prep book. Curious to know if I was correct, I fixed my eyes on the book hoping to see the famous Kaplan logo.

The young woman continued to walk towards me and as she came closer, I caught four white letters running across the violet backstrip/spine of the book—LSAT. It was a bittersweet sight. I was pleased to see someone else studying for the LSAT, but another glimpse of the book devastated me. The mere thought of her relying on Kaplan, as her (sole) source of information, was troubling. I had to act fast and recommend this site (7sage) to her.

Luckily, she stopped near me, albeit facing in the opposite direction. So I decided to tapped her on the shoulder. After exchanging greetings, I pointed at her LSAT book and asked her when she intended to take the test. She said this upcoming September—the same day as me. I advised her to check out the awesome and highly effective video lessons on here. She took out her cellphone and proceeded to type the name of the website on her note-taking app. At first she spelled the name of the website “sevensage.com”—which I found humorous—but I quickly corrected her perfectly understandable mistake. Suddenly, we heard the sound of the train as it approached the station. We knew there was not much time left. I made one last recommendation pitch as her train arrived. She thanked me for sharing the information and assured me that she would visit the site.

I was at peace with myself during my ride home because I know I did my part. Nevertheless, I genuinely hope she listens to my recommendation and explores this wonderful site!!

My diagnostic was 160 and I am aiming to break 170 by December. Would anyone in NYC like to collaborate?

Hi All,Aidin Here,

I've been studying with 7sage for about 5 months now getting ready to take the September LSAT. When taking PT's I notice that there are some concepts that I haven't fully understood and since I started with J.Y. I would like to keep his methods and not mix it up. I'm looking for someone that is In Orange County area that is scoring above 168 and that can tutor me for couple hours maybe 1,2 sessions on the things I missed out or simply couldn't understand on my own. I wouldn't mind donating for the time spent since I know everyone is busy with school/work/family. Email me please if you could be of help Firouziaidin@gmail.com

Hi Everyone,

So I don't know if it is ok to post this on here. But, I finished taking the LSAT this past June and scored VERY well. I was accepted late to my school of choice with a scholarship. Now I have SO SO SO many books and notes and PDF's of tests/notes/books that I would really like to get rid of. Let me know if you're interested. I spent a lot of money and time on these materials. If you're local (Boston) that would be best because shipping could be expensive.

If you need materials send me a message. thanks.

Decided to take a sabbatical from work (well, technically quit) to focus on the test. Time to own the LSAT.

I took my first LSAT in June 2014. And with just the help of 7Sage I got to 152 from 138. But my score is still way far from my goal. I will be taking the September test. I extended my account with 7sage but I feel I may need more .I have a very tight budget and I heard good stuff about The Trainer. Any experience with this book? Should I get the book as well?

I just got a 177 on PT 67 in a proctored environment. :D I don't know how accurate this score is since I've taken the test before (out of takes!) and know the infamous zones game very very well (drilled it at least 10 times). But hey, I guess my logic is still dead on and I'll blind review later.

RC -1

LR -3 (-1 for not bubbling due to time)

LG 0

So my question is: how happy should I be? It's a retake, so realistically, this is an inflated. I took it in early May the first time and scored a 166.

I seem to be scoring only in the 170s now. Probably because these are all retakes! My lowest score is a 173. Am I basically screwed for Sept? :(

Has anyone used one? How much did you pay? Was it worth the money? Was it in person or via skype? Would an LSAT buddy be just as useful?

Would love if someone could elaborate on their experiences.

Hi all!

I'm in the process of studying for the September 27 exam, and I'm wondering whether there are any 7Sagers who would like to get together to take PTs and discuss problems/study methods/etc. Ideally, I'd like to meet up on either a Saturday, Sunday, or Monday morning somewhere in Vancouver (location suggestions welcome - maybe a VPL branch?).

If anyone is interested, let me know!

The study schedule gives 12 hours as the recommended time to complete the Practice Test's, complete blind review and then go over questions you missed with video explanations. I'm wondering how long this actually takes other people to accomplish? Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how long that process takes for them.

I am working on logic games, and they definitely seem to be the section that I need to improve the most in. One of my biggest problems is knowing when to make inferences, knowing when to split up the board, and knowing when it's time to head to the questions.

I get really intimidated by the games and don't feel confident as I work through the scenarios. I always run out of time when I time myself. Everything makes sense when I watch the games on video, but it's very hard for me to make deductions on my own.

From what I've seen on the course, repeating the same game over and over with correct inferences will allow me to make inferences in similar games. Is that really true? What would be the best thing for me to do?

I have been studying close to three months now. I took a month long prep course through my university to kick off my studying. My diagnostic was low as expected. Although I have literally stayed at the same score with a slight 2 point improvement a few weeks ago. I took a PT today but it was one I had already taken by accident and obviously scored the best because the material was familiar. I just am so frustrated and cannot get the improvement I am wanting to see despite studying 5 days a week. I would love to personally talk to someone where I could give them more details about my situation etc. Someone please help

I know there are a few UMBC students looking at law school, but don't know if any of those peeps are using 7Sage.. If Anyone is in the area and is looking for a study buddy during the semester, let me know!

Anyone can tell me why option D is wrong? Passage A mentions an objection to progressive taxes when it highlights the incentives for avoiding it and the opportunities to do so and passage B mentions the objection of unfairness in the first paragraph. Just how can D be wrong? Anyone is with me in sending a complaint to LSAC?
