December Test Takers! This is it! This is what you’ve all been waiting for! One last BR and then on Saturday, it’s game on!

My advice: taper down on effort. You don’t necessarily have to do nothing this week (especially LG. Use it or lose it), but this week should require less effort from you than the past 10 weeks have. In other words, don’t do 5 PTs this week. And if you can, don’t look at the score of any PTs you take this week. Confidence is so important for the LSAT, and you don’t want yours wrecked by one stupid score. Just take the PT and BR and then have fun discussing the test in a BR group. And that leads into the last piece of advice for this week: Have fun and remember this Saturday’s test is just PT 77. That’s it! Best of luck to all of you!

Hope to see tutors, mentors, and friends (maybe Mike Kim again :) ) at the Pep Rally. Show your support even if you aren’t taking it this Saturday!

Be sure to announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76 and PM your email for Google Hangout.

  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.

  • 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."

  • 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 Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    Bailey and Henry dive into what it means to “study like a tutor” and why adopting that perspective can make your prep more focused and consistent. They explain how tutors analyze mistakes, evaluate reasoning, and break down patterns, and they show you how to bring those same habits into your own LSAT work.

    Hey 7sagers. I am doing the in/out games and am trying to print off the pdfs for each practice question. For example, http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/inout-game-2-prompt-and-questions/

    However, sometimes when I click the link to either download the pdf or to just get to the link above through the syllabus page I am instead directed to https://classic.7sage.com/enroll/?_s2member_seekingpage=1256

    I am a member already so I shouldn't be having this issue. Any ideas?

    Edit: Tried on other various links from the "syllabus" page and all links are doing it randomly. Sometimes I click and it will work, sometimes it will take me to the enrollment page.

    Heyyy,

    I am planning on taking the October LSAT in the Middle East. Thing is, I have heard that the only available time slots are usually between 2 am and 5.30 am which is a major disadvantage. I can't imagine taking the LSAT during those times and doing well.

    Any one have any experience with this? Also, how early will the time slots open up for booking...

    I haven't paid for my test yet and wasn't sure if this will cause me to be late on choosing a time slot.

    Thanks :)

    In the lessons about In/Out games there is use of bi-conditionals like J (--) /K. For other prep material they have used a "negative bi-conditional", so J (-/-) K. Do these represent the same things? I assumed they both meant J and K cannot be selected together. #Help

    I can't say enough how revelatory the Blind Review method is. Personally, I think this methodology itself was worth what I paid for the Testmasters course. I feel a pang of despondency having hammered through so many questions through that course without any constructive and pertinent thought. Hopefully, most of you have not had the displeasure of going through the same mistake!

    Happy studying! :)

    Hi all,

    I've been fool-proofing LG for the past week and a half, and as it pertains to sequencing games, it's become pretty clear to me that box items typically exert the most pressure on the board. Hence, whether it's a rule/question-driven game, looking at where to first place the box item will yield key inferences for the other rules. Along those lines, I noticed in some sequencing games with a twist that a rule preventing items from a sub-category from being next to other items in that same sub-category also exerts extreme pressure on the board (i.e. the notoriously difficult PT68G4, and to a much lesser extent, PT65G2). If we were to compare these two generic rules, it seems to me that the latter rule exerts even more pressure than the former. In other words, we should focus our attention first and foremost to the sub-category rule, even before a box rule in a scenario where both appear. Does this sound right to y'all? Also, if you guys have similar findings on some other generic rules that help you make inferences in different types of games, I'd appreciate it if you could share! Thanks and good luck on the studying!

    the June test is right around the corner. i'm still doing horribly in sequencing games. still not being able to make the inferences i need to in order to score better. what are your methods to improve this. i try to drill without looking at the video explanations, so that i can recognize patterns and gather inferences on my own but it doesn't seem to be working. advice please?!?!?!

    Hello! I hope everyone’s June LSAT went well. I am writing because I had to cancel my score for the June LSAT because the proctor bothered me so many times during the first two sections I practically had no focus and was stressed the whole exam. Did this happen to anybody else? I was interrupted many times because apparently I was “out of the camera frame” when I was using my scratch paper or when I came close to the laptop screen and my forehead was cut out. This was really frustrating because I can’t see myself on the camera during the test and I just don’t want to worry about this on the next exam. Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid this? A special camera that people used or a certain distance they kept themselves from the laptop?

    Thank you!

    I've been studying since April 2024, and I haven't been able to move my score out of the 150s. I feel like I've tried multiple different techniques for studying and none of them seem to be working for me. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding how they broke the pattern of not making solid improvement?

    Hi everyone,

    I recently signed up for 7Sage and just took my first practice exam. I wanted to see my results without completing the actual blind review, so the blind review results were obviously the same as my practice test results.

    Is it recommended to complete the blind review immediately after taking the practice test? To people who do that, does that mean you are essentially taking the same exam for 5+ hours?

    Appreciate any insights on the best way to complete the blind review after taking a 3 hour practice test!

    Thank you,

    RJ
