Hey everyone, we rolled out a new feature recently that lets you share your LSAT results with others. You can find it at http://classic.7sage.com/review-lsat-share/.

Why do I want to share my results?

If you share your results with study buddies, you can help one another see what you need to work on. Makes studying more collaborative and interactive.

Share with your tutor and they'll have the most in-depth information on your LSAT strengths and weaknesses available anywhere. Maximize the impact of your tutor.

Are you awesome at the LSAT? Post on the forum offering to provide feedback to anyone who shares their results with you. It's a great way to help others out and show off your expertise.

How do I share my results?

Go to: http://classic.7sage.com/review-lsat-share/ and enter the email address of the person you would like to share your results with in the bottom right where it says "Share with:". This will give them access to your results.

If you want access to someone else's results, enter their email where it says "Request sharing with:".

What if the person I want to share with doesn't have an account?

No problem, we can send them an email letting them know you want to share your results. They'll get a link to sign up for free and access your results.

Just a simple question. I feel like I could use a break but I feel incredibly guilty if I do because my scores are not where I want them to be and I'm a June test taker. I feel like I'd be wasting time but this test makes me feel like I have a thousand pounds of stress on my back some days.

Looking to have a long-term committed study partner to meet once a week for June '14 test.

Discussing PTs and strategies can provide the benefit of two minds over one; also open to discussing any other sticking points.

I'll be retaking and have invested quite some time on this test by now. Shoot me a message if interested in giving this a try. Best!

Hey guys, I'm starting my Preptests tomorrow and have a couple questions.

I'm assuming when taking Preptests, no one guesses on the answers left blank after time runs out? Just making sure.

And do you submit two scores into the 7Sage Scorer? What you finished and then Blind Review?

I just want to get an idea of what everyone's routine is

I'm thinking

1. Take Preptest

2. Check Score

3. Blind Review

4. Check Blind Review Score

Sound about right?

I am planning to take the LSAT this June 2014, I took the LSAT in December and after studying for a year I went from a diagnostic of 139 to a score of 155(Dec 13). I used Blueprint, Manhattan, Powerscore and of course 7sage. I am wondering how can I use 7sage to continue my studies and reach my goal of 160+? Is this a good idea?

This is one of the last LR type im having issues with and need some guidance. I see this stem, read the stimulus and see five answer choices that say overlooks the possibility and this is where the oscillation comes in. Lol. And I see the core, where there is premise&conclusion, and just like the weaken/support questions we attack the support? All help is appreciated.

To all who study this test,

As I first started to study the LSAT I was immediately drawn to my score. Even after one week of practice I was so concerned with a 160 that I would pause the timer, spend an extra 3 minutes on a curve breaker question then continue the test. This practice method showed me that I was capable of a 165 however, I was not practicing like it was the real thing.

When I was taking the Dec. LSAT, I immediately became nervous and flustered that time was slipping by and there was no option to pause for a question. By not feeling in control of the test, the test controlled me.

I received my score of 152 and as it is disappointing, this mark couldn't be more of a blessing. In life much like the LSAT, failure will come and obstacles will seem tiresome and daunting. The key is to reaffirm faith and believe that the light is at the end of the tunnel. This mark showed me how bad I want to study law and I realize that I can handle failure but I can't handle giving up. What I realize now is that no matter how bad your PT's are, you will grow and succeed for when the real test comes. I hope this little informative shows you that there are no short-cuts for success and I found this out the hard way. I hope everyone can understand that a score today does not mean the same score tomorrow...now go get that score you want.

Approach

Hey everyone! Hope all who took the February test did well! So I self studied for the December test with powerscore, found 7sage at the very very end and used the free resources. Now I will be taking the June test, I purchased the medium priced package here because I loved the free materials when studying for December as well as the BR approach. Now I have a question, I used up a lot of the practice tests because I assumed I would only be taking the LSAT once, I haven't done any tests from the 40s, a couple from the 50s, and then maybe 2 very recent tests. Now I'm planning on taking all the tests included with my plan, should I take them out of order and take the ones I've done before first? Leaving the fresh ones before test day, or the other way around? Thanks!

Many of us took the test today.

I have no idea how I did, I'm simply incapable of judging myself the way I usually can after doing a PT.

So, how do you all think you did?

If anyone needs help figuring out which section was experimental, I'd be happy to help.

Hi 7sagers,

I feel as thought having the ability to practice RC sections indivdually would help greatly. As I am going through PTS, after each one, i think about what went wrong and practice to improve it. this could be like a certain type of game, or type of qustions (i.e. most strongly supported). Id like to be able to have a bunch of old RC sets to practice with in hopes of improving timing. 7sage doesn't offer such adons or include them in updated packages. Has anyone bought something like this anywhere?

Thanks,

Jake

Hi guys so I really need your advice.

I've been studying LSAT for like 2 - 3 months now.

Since Im currently in Korea, LSAT is on Feb 23rd

I'm in a situation where its bit different from you guys.

I am getting enlisted in Air Force on Feb 24th, that's why I tried to get my score before I get enlisted

However, I failed the december one big time...

I need to get at least 164 but scored lower than 160 on dec one.

Recently, I took a few PT 56-57-58 .

At first, it seemed like I was making some improvement as I scored 163 and 160 but then on today's 58..

I got like 25 wrongs without last section of LR.

To me, it feels like my LR skill just got worse. Im getting way too many wrongs on LR section.

If it were you guys, would u guys cancel Feb one and take the later LSAT?

the only reason i tried to get score before i get enlisted was as I was not guaranteed to study while im there

So, my original plan was to get the score then apply in 2015 and go back to US asap.

But now, I really don't know what to do because my score is simply not going up.

Yeah most ppl take LSAT once and gets it done,

well to me, since it was my dream to be a lawyer, I would not hesitate to take it for three times if necessary.

so yeah I really need u guys help!

hi there,

i have a question about diagramming the following stimulus: "all too many weaklings are also cowards, and few cowards fail to be fools. thus there must be at least one person who is both a weakling and a fool." the question asks us to match the flaw and the correct answer is "some painters are dancers, since some painters are musicians, and some musicians are dancers."

i got this correct simply by process of elimination, but i wasn't 100% confident in my answer choice. i understand the first part: "all too many weaklings are also cowards" = "weaklings (--(some)--) cowards" since "all too many" = "many" = "some" on the LSAT.

the second part ("few cowards fail to be fools") is what confuses me, for two reasons:

(1) i took this to mean that "cowards (--(some)--) NOT fools," but the answer choice seems to suggest that this means "cowards (--(some)--) fools." i'm not sure if i'm overthinking it, but i just thought it was incorrect to assume "cowards (--(some)--) fools" since there is no contrapositive for "some"

(2) can we assume that "few cowards fail to be fools" to mean MOST cowards are fools (or is that too strong)?

thank you in advance!

Hi all!!!

I'm on week 3 of a 19week study schedule. I'm going through little by little and Im on schedule. Some concepts have been easier than others to grasp right away.

I'd like to hear about your(newbies and veterans) experiences. I feel a bit overwhelmed sometimes that I wont beable to remember everything in the curriculum. haha

questions of interest:

1) is it more important to stay on the study schedule or to ensure that we have a very strong grasp on the material before moving to the next topic?

2) what are you doing in addition to watching the videos of the core curriculum?

Thank you!

Of course you are. You're about to take an important test. It's not the most important test though. That one you will be taking in June.

Just kidding. This is likely the last LSAT you'll ever take.

I'm only trying to remind you that for something this important, there are second chances. That's not true for a lot of other important things in life, so that's something to feel good about.

For most of you, you already know what score you'll get. Take your last three recent properly administered LSAT PrepTests (e.g., 69, 70, 71) and average your score. You'll get plus or minus 3 points of that average.

There is nothing separating you from that score except the mere passing of a few day's time.

You are as prepared as you can be. You have already seen everything those crafty LSAT writers will throw at you and you've amply demonstrated your ability to respond with craftiness of your own.

Saturday will not be a new day and the February 2014 LSAT will not be a new LSAT. It will only be "LSAT PrepTest 72" which will be just like PT 71 and PT 70 and PT 69 and so on. (Well, sort of, they don't release this one.)

For Saturday, remember only this: keep moving.

You will encounter a few insanely difficult curve breaker questions. Every LSAT has them. Every student who has ever taken the LSAT before you has encountered them. You will encounter them (again) on Saturday. I am telling you this now, so you will be prepared. Skip those difficult questions. Maintain your rhythm.

Keep moving.

You got this.

Hello everyone,

this is my first post, so go easy on me.

I am assuming that everyone here wants to become an attorney, so I just wanted to pose a question, which has been on my mind for the last couple of days.

Question: If you were to not make it as an attorney, for whatever reason (e.g difficulty in job placement), what would your back up "dream career" be?

I will go first, personally I have two dream careers tied for first place, which are 1) Cyber Crime Detective 2) Becoming an entrepreneur in a tech related field (Sort of like J.Y)

@ J.Y Don't worry I don't plan on making a site for the lsat.

Just a thought - has anyone else noticed an increase in repetitive answer choices, such as getting answer choice D for 14, 15, 16 and 17? It seems like as I've worked through the newer tests it becomes more prevalent.

Hi Ladies and Gents:

I came across this watch on www.180watch.com

this seems really legit on the website, but i cannot justify the price just by looking at it... it is $60.

Anyone who has used this before care to share a review?

OR anyone who has a cost effective way of calculating time? the analog watch doesn't really show seconds very well... and the minutes are hard to read

Thanks!

To: Everyone in the 7Sage community.

As some/most of us may know, law school numbers are down desperately. We all know that this is going to, most probably, lower the accepted GPA and LSAT scores across the board, and extend admissions deadlines.

However, what does the drop in law school students say for those of us that plan on being lawyers?

What are your educated thoughts? (Please be as credible as you can, so we don't get any completely unrealistic responses that take us off topic.)

I'm thinking there's two possibilities here.

The poor economy and panicky articles over the past 2 years has effectively scared a large amount of 0Ls from pursuing a career in law because they fear that the employment opportunities and average wage are not worth taking on between $100k-$250k in debt to attain a JD.

1) They are right, the law field is a bad place to be, and we are all entering a very insecure field. For most of us, entering law school may be a bad choice.

2) They were wrong, the bad economy and panicky articles were overdramatized, and due to the very large drop in admissions and, therefore, class sizes through law schools, most people who are trying to attain a JD NOW as opposed to later are going to ride a wave of success due to the increase in demand for lawyers. Likewise, the decrease in lawyers is going to have more schools accepting a wider variety of GPA/LSAT scores, increasing our odds at placing into the school of our choice, or a school we would usually likely not be eligible to attend.
