So I'm looking through the packages to purchase, and just want to clarify that the starter, premium, and ultimate all have the same amount of lessons, the only thing that differs is the amount of practice problems and PT explanations?

Also I have two more questions:

1) Is it possible to adequately get through the core curriculum in a month

2) For those using the cambridge packets, do you drill those specific questions after the corresponding lesson. Ex. Flaw lesson completed, drill flaw questions.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Just got the book. What's been a good method for folks as far as how to use the trainer in combo with 7 sage?

I took the June 2015 LSAT and I feel like I did good enough to get into the school that I want to get into (but I suppose we shall see within about a week!). What should I be doing until I can officially fill out the application in I believe September? In otherwords, what are some productive things that I will need to have to turn in with my application that I could go ahead and get started on? Thanks!

Hi All,

My beau is in the process of applying for jobs all over the place. Previously, I had thought that we would stay put in Chicago, which is why I was going to focus on LUC and Chicago Kent (ahem, and roll the dice on NU).

Any tips on trying to figure out applying to schools in various locations? My guy is a scientist, so the whole job search process is really topsy turvy, so I feel like I'm in a situation where I just have to cast a bunch of apps & figure things out from there. I didn't really expect to be in this situation. Adventure time? It's kind of overwhelming to try to pump myself up for a major score jump in the LSAT with the idea of applying to a bunch of schools that I'm unable to figure out, except in the virtual world.

Thanks, all!

I have been studying since January, for the October test. On July 4th I plan to make the big transition to the PT stage for the final three months.

However, I am finding Logic Games to be very, very deadly!

Currently on 21 of 35 sets in the LG bundle and I can still barely complete a game (aside from simple sequencing) without having to turn to the video - and that's after 30/40 minutes on each game.

I read on here of many folks who have nailed LG by the time they start PTing, and I am worried that I have slipped far behind with this section.

Did others enter the PT stage still really struggling with LG? I should be able to improve lots in 3 months, but it's going to need to be done while PTing.

Anywords of wisdom, violin playing, welcomed!

Are existing users who purchased the Ultimate package going to have the option to upgrade to Ultimate + once it becomes available?

Getting a little frustrated with all of the sudden changes. :/

@"Alan Cheuk" is there any way for the option to minimize topics stay minimized, even if we go to a different page and back to the course? i thought it didn't save between different computers, and am now realizing going back and forth pages will remove all the clicking i did to minimize topics?

Recently, I have noticed a glitch on the site regarding play speed on the videos. While using the app and the site through multiple browsers, I can't increase the play speed. I only have this issue on Samsung Note Pro 12.2. When I am using a PC, it's fine. Any ideas?

can someone please go through this with me?

I heard that once forgotten games are reappearing ..

Is that mean all those circular mapping games are appearing as well?

Also, does 7sage offer a course about pattern game??

I somehow can't find it...

I didn't even look at those forgotten games..

Hello all,

Add/message me on Skype (nikkers625) if you want to join the BR group tonight!

For most of the lessons there is both a video portion and a written article portion. Are these designed to complement each other, or do they say essentially the same thing? In the interest of time, I have generally been picking one or the other for each lesson, and only reading and watching the video together if I really need help understanding the topic. Sorry if this is a redundant question, I couldn't find it discussed elsewhere on the site.

As most of you know, my original plan was to start my studies by completing the trainer. But I am really thinking about using 7sage as the main curriculum because I find it a lot harder to read and focus with my son around. I also try reading at work,which is more successful than doing so at home, but it is a very slow process. I am making progress but I am not able to adhere to the schedule provided by the trainer and I am at least two weeks behind in drills! Smh. I think maybe if I had 7sage's video course I could move through the curriculum faster and have more time to effectively drill since I won't be as tired from reading.

I spend most of my time attempting to read the chapter, getting interrupted during drills, and then going to work only to be met with more interruptions. After my chaotic studies are over for the day, I wake up the next day and barely remember a thing lol. Then the vicious cycle starts all over again. A slow, grueling, non-efficient process that doesn't allow me to maximize my full potential. By no means do I think it will be a magic solution, but I think using the 7sage course will be more beneficial because of my lifestyle. I can simply sit back and actively listen, which is a lot less time consuming than actively reading. What do you guys think? Anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

I am really struggling on making these distinct. I can recognize the stems, but the answers are gnarly for me.

Any advice? I am going through the trainer right now, and I'll have to review, but he seems to be rather brief on these, especially Required vs. Sufficient.

The biggest clue I can read is that the sufficient answers can be crazy, and mention weird things. But, obviously, this is not enough. I am totes struggling, and any help is appreciated. I'm thinking I should get Cambridge now.

Hey! I'm thinking about starting July1st studying for the October write. I already bought the LSAT Trainer and was wondering whether I should do the 7sage premium course after I read the LSAT Trainer, or read the LSAT Trainer after 7sage.

Also what are your thoughts on LG, I heard 7sage is enough for LG so should I skip the LSAT Trainer section on LG to prevent confusion?

I am having a difficult time figuring out how to negate a sentence that is comprised of both "most" and "conditional statements."

For example, if one says, "most people who study at least 5 hours a day for LSAT will get 180," how can we negate this?

Thank you guys!

I'm a little over a month into studying after first starting with the lsat trainer (50% completed) and basic 7sage course (30%) completed. I'm confused as to what my focus should be on right now with an anticipated test date of Oct 2015. What additional materials should I buy for drilling...and when exactly does that come into play following the 7sage syllabus?

While going through the lessons, I've started to find a fond sense of enjoyment in hearing the comical remarks JY makes for many of the outrageously wrong answer choices on the LSAT. Feel free to post anything that made you laugh. Also by no means is this thread restricted to only the remarks made for wrong answer choices.

Took the June lsat and waiting on scores. Anyone have advice/good links as far as where to start with preparing for fall admissions? What should I be doing right now application wise?

I mostly bought the Trainer for some new perspectives on LR, and considered skipping the LG portions all together since I have been doing really well with 7Sage's style and was worried that learning another would mess me up. I ended up starting the LG sections in the Trainer and have actually found them to be a pretty good complement to the methodologies of 7Sage so far. For example, the use of shapes and vertical lists of the elements are two things that I found off putting at first but after working with them a bit I definitely see the value there.

So my question is, for any of the 7Sage/Trainer devotees, what did you like best about each methodology and what have you picked from each to forge your own approach. Do any of @nicole.hopkins , @emli1000 , @blah170blah or anyone else have some insights on this that they would like to share? Thanks in advance!

So just took June 07' exam and disaster is an understatement. I'm 40% of the way through the curriculum and I was expecting to hit 160+ on this considering I've put in a good amount of study time. This was my 3rd practice test (took two diagnostics earlier and scored in the low 150's) and I'm really disappointed with the outcome. To give you an analogy, I felt like a rookie QB making his first start in the NFL. Things were happening so quickly and I couldn't get myself to answer the questions effectively and efficiently.

Here's my breakdown: LG: -6(guessed on 5 questions, one of which I got right) LR-13 (skipped 5 questions) and RC- -6. Total:158

On the bright side I managed to get a 174 after BR: LG-0 LR-5 RC-0.

I have two concerns and I'd really appreciate any input/advice:

1) That I don't have enough time from now until Oct to hit 167+. 3.5 months seems like a short time to make this jump.

2) That I'm just not quick enough to achieve a 167+ score. On all 3 exams I've had to skip a considerable amount of questions, and I can't imagine getting any quicker. Completing all questions within 35 min is really difficult for me.

How many practice tests did it take you guys to get comfortable with the LSAT? Were you hitting your target score after, say, 3-4 practice exams? I've read that the biggest jumps in scores should be taking place within your first few practice tests.

Sorry for rambling, but the LSAT is constantly making me apprehensive. I have a really good GPA and it's the only thing holding me back at this point from attending a T-14. Any help, advice, input, or stories from your prep experience would be extremely helpful. Thanks 7sagers.

I had to take a small break from LSAT Prep and 7sage due to a serious family emergency but now I have decided to resume studying. When I had been previously studying, the PDFs were on the verge of disappearing so I decided last minute to upgrade from Premium to Ultimate and quickly download all the PDFs/PTs onto a flash drive. Now that I have returned, I have been having some difficulty navigating through the new 7sage layout and I'm fairly confused despite going through several discussion threads. I have some questions that maybe some of you could answer:

1.) Are there no more video explanations or answers to the PDFs that I downloaded? I can't find any answers or explanations but I have all these PDFs. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that the video explanations were not going to disappear but I can't seem to find them.

2.) What was the total number of PDFs/PTs available to "ultimate package" students prior to the PDFs being removed? I just wanted to make sure that I downloaded them all.

3.) Should I ignore the new problem sets that have been posted and stick to solving the ones in my old PDFs? Is there some benefit to sticking with one or the other? Should I be doing both old and new?

4.)The "percentage completed" is no longer accurate now because of the old PDFs being removed, correct?

5.) Why are the new problem sets fairly easy as compared to the old PDFs?

I apologize for bombarding everyone with all my questions but I feel lost and off track due to the break I took and the major changes in the structure of 7sage. I hope someone can help clarify these for me, that would be greatly appreciated. I would also find it really beneficial if someone who has all the old PDFs and has access to the new problem sets could elaborate on their study methods for going through the problem sets. Thank you!

I just saw that there was a new video that showed a very good student working through an LSAT logic game in real time, with JY providing color commentary. (could you imagine a TV channel that did nothing but this?). http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-35-section-3-game-4/#comment-30736.

I also remember seeing @"Jonathan Wang" doing an LR section in real time (25 questions in 25 minutes no less--- bows and incants “we’re not worthy!!” over and over again) on the boards, but I can’t find it anymore.

I think there are even more out there, but I’m having trouble finding them. Is there a way we can organize finding these videos in an easier fashion? I guess this is more of a question for LSAT Forum guru and all-aroung awesome guy, @"Dillon A. Wright”

I’m at a place now where I really understand much of the LSAT. I just don’t have the most efficient process to execute the LSAT in the time allotted. I think watching people knock it out of the park could really help.

Hey everyone,

So in roughly 2 days I should be done the core curriculum ultimate course. As I've been going along with the course I've bought the huge LR packet for LR, which has all the questions for every question type, like weakening, main point, NA etc.

While I've been doing the massive packets I've been putting every .pdf I've completed into the completed folder, and I was assuming once I'm done the 7Sage course I'll probably be done them all.

So unfortunately I have 4 .pdfs leftover. The first one is called Complete the Passage, (which one of the following most logically completes the paragraph, they have a big ____ in the stimulus). There's only 19 of these Questions so I'm not too concerned, I'll just apply the skills I learned from LR to do them.

Second one is also just 16 questions labelled evaluate, and the question stems say stuff like which one of the following would be most relevant in evaluating the conclusion of blahblah. Again not super concerned.

The third one is Paradox questions, and I've seen that term thrown about here in the forums too. There's 126 questions, and I don't see 7Sage having any lessons for them which kind of worries me.

The last one is called Principle (Identify), note that this is not the same as Principle (Apply) questions. I did those questions already, and they related to the lessons that 7Sage provides on principle questions. But these principle identify questions seem a little different, so I'm not sure how to approach them, maybe the same way I approach principle apply questions?

Sorry for the lengthy post but I really needed some feedback! I know lots of people here complement the Cambridge packets, so I thought it might help other people as well.

Also I'm guessing I'll most likely just have to use the skills I learned in LR from the other questions and apply them to these question types, but I'm hoping maybe 7Sage has some examples, especially for the Paradox questions.

I need more space for the games!
