Hello dear friends,

We will be holding a special Pep Rally to get everyone encouraged and excited for the October 3rd test.

Join us at 8pm ET on Weds ... Special appearance by @mike Kim, author of The LSAT Trainer, and 7sage's own Jonathan Wang—both will infuse our revelry with some expert fist-bumping.

Possible additional special guests ... announcements pending!!

To join, add me on Skype (nikkers625); if you've already added me, send me a message on Skype letting me know you'd like to join.

I know it's in the category of ridiculous questions. Now let's get to business. No one likes to waste time filling in bubbles. And for ADHD + OCD perfectionists like myself, when we read "make sure it's perfectly filled in," we make damn sure it's filled in perfectly, wasting precious seconds on the clock.

So, does anyone know how perfect it needs to be before the scantron reading machine thingy fucks it up? If I leave an imperfect stray mark outside the circle am I finished?

And, does anyone have any strategies for colouring quicker? (if you noticed the U in colour it's because us Canadians spell it the correct way lol) Do you start with the outside ring and work your way in?

And yes, I already bought those tri-conderoga pencils.

Hey just wondering where some of you bought all of the PTs.

On Amazon they sell them in mini bundles. For example, PTs 4-14 and 7-16 etc. However, there is another site called

http://everylsat.com/ They sell the PTs all together. So you can buy all 72 of them together. I want to know if anyone has used this site or if anyone has any other sites where we can buy them

Wanted to check, if Oct 23 is the last date to register for Dec Lsat without paying any late registration fee ? Should i wait for at least few PT results before i register for exams ? I am about to finish coursework and will start PT from next week.

Is it true that in the game section that the 1st game is the easiest and the 4th game is the most difficult?

Is it true that in the logical reasoning sections that questions in the middle (11-20) are more difficult?

Can someone explain how D doesn't strengthen the argument? Wouldn't giving evidence that the sample of the 100 first graders was representative strengthen the broad/general conclusion in the passage? I understand that C is the correct answer, but I don't see how D doesn't as well.

I've been having a Little scratch in my throat, and a bit of mucus waking up for the past week. I am in isolation to not get sick but at times I do have to face humanity and risk it.

Im taking emergenC, vitamins,eating pumpkin seeds but this scratch is no leaving. I am praying it won't plant itself likr a bomb on Oct 3.

If anyone has positive stories of getting a cold on lsat day and still acing it that would make me feel great lol.

I can no longer view my study buddies' analytics. Is anyone else having the same issue? Is there any way to fix this problem, @"Alan Cheuk" @"Dillon A. Wright" ?

So I was hoping for some advice on when to take the LSAT. Here is my story with maybe too much info:

I was planning to take the Dec LSAT. I diagnosed 158 in early August. Started studying with Powerscore then but not too hard because I was finishing a pretty long trip abroad. I came back mid August and started studying pretty hard. I got a 20 hour a week job that started in September. Ran through the PS bibles. Yea, they were pretty bad. Finished them my mid Sept. Took another PT and score 162. Wasn't sure what to do from there because I had no more study material besides PT. Found out about 7sage online and based on its good reviews and lower cost I picked it up.

Now I'm about 35% of the way through the curriculum but just got offered a full time job at a law firm that seemed too good to turn down so I took it. I start next Monday. With that, I doubt... well am almost sure I will not be ready for the Dec LSAT.

The February test seems kind of poop because it is really late in the cycle, likely on an ugly cold day, and if I don't do as well as I am hoping, I don't even know where I did poorly. But the timing seems right and I could at least try to apply for this cycle.

And then, there is June. Which seems oh so pretty. It is in a beautiful time of the year and administered at noon which is a huge plus for this guy. But that means waiting another year. Since I have this pretty cool job that is not so bad but more concerning to me than that it seems so far away. I motivated to study now. I feel it. But I don't know if I could keep feeling so pump for another 8 months. Ugh that's far. Is that too much time? I know JY says 1 year. I know, but that feels like a lot to me knowing how my energy levels for things fluctuates.

My insane plan for now was to sign for the Dec or Feb test, see how I feel closer to the date, if I feel bad: postpone. If I feel good: take it. Then once I take the test, If I feel bad: cancel it. If I feel good: get my score and hope I wasn't dead wrong.

My concern with this plan is that 1) it might a waste of $mula$ 2) I may hella misjudge how I did and end up with a crap score 3) It can really throw off my study schedule 4) I have never heard of someone doing this so it feels silly.

Is my plan for now that bad? Its pretty bad huh? So just put aside my concerns for the Feb or June tests and just take one of those? And if so which one?

Ahhh, well if you have made it this far I already love you for reading through my somewhat unexisting problems. Your the best. And if you could give me some advice, well then you are the bestest. So many thanks in advance.

Is it wise to do a final practice test the day before the test or is it better to take that day off and relax or exercise or something? Does anyone have any tips for the day before? Thanks.

TONIGHT! PT52 BR | 8pm ET

We may not have...

for our BR Group. That’s for the other BR group taking the LSAT actual this weekend (See http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/4525/pep-rally-weds-8pm-et-featuring-mike-kim-the-lsat-trainer-and-jonathan-wang), but we do have a very VIP guest joining us...

No, not really. Here’s who we got...

All kidding aside.

Are you ready to BR PT52?

If not, take PT52 NOW and join us at 8pm ET tonight.

Note on all groups

I took my last PT before the test this Saturday and my scores fell a lot I have taken about 15 test where my scores consistently stayed in my target range and then for this test I fell almost 10 points. Am I burnout and should stop studying now or work my tail off for the next 48hrs?

So happy to say that!! I'm feeling really good. My diagnostic was a 153. I've taken about 35 PTs. My last three were all 167s. If I get within +or- 3 of that I'm going to be stoked. 163 is the 75th percentile for my school :)

they say nothing about non-mammals in the passage nor do they imply anything about non-mammals.

I'm taking the October LSAT this weekend, and I was just wondering how much discussion we can have about the test before LSAC releases scores.

I know LSAC states that we are not allowed to talk about the test questions, but where is the line drawn? Would reviewing the tactics of a particular game be unacceptable? Then is it OK to discuss general difficulty level of the sections? How about discussing which section was likely the experimental section?

Thanks!

Sitting for the October exam this weekend but will be retaking in December. Looking for a few people to study and blind review together in person or via Skype. A little about where I'm at, drilled all LR and LG from1-38. Took PT 39-45 and 55-60 averaging around 167-172.

The Chinese characters in my notes now get replaced by "??" on this website. I use another browser and it's still the same. Anyone encounter the similar situations?

It seems to be a tech problem of 7sage, and I will truly appreciate someone can fix it ASAP since I'm taking my test 5 days later....

Hey, I'm about to begin taking PTs 36-65. If anyone else is interested in doing a full blind review of any of the aforementioned tests, let's meet up and tackle this thing. I live in north Dallas, but willing to meet anywhere DFW area. Maybe a campus library if parking is not an issue. I can meet mornings or at night, but we should allot 4+ hours if we are going to master the whole test.

Let's do this!

Hello, I'm planning to take the February test. I am currently reading through LSAT Trainer and PowerScore as well as going to school full-time. I am not confident enough about Logic Games and am considering registering for one of 7Sage prep course. The two courses in contention are Starter and Premium.Though the Trainer is immensely helpful with Logical Reasoning, I find Logic Games difficult to grasp. Which course would be ideal considering this time frame and circumstance? Suggestions and comments welcomed. Thank you!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a private tutor in the Los Angeles area?

I have PT 74 left to take. I was going to take it Friday morning at the same time the LSAT is being held on Saturday. I'm concerned with burnout, as my scores tend to dip if I take two PT's too close together (I've performed better with 4 days between, and worse with less, though correlation/causation could certainly be an issue here).

It's Tuesday. I took PT 73 last night. How should I go about taking my last PT? Should I just do sections over the course of the week?

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.

Can anyone help explain this question? I used The Trainer for my LR prep, since I only found 7Sage a few weeks ago. On Mike Kim's website, it has this listed as a Strengthen question, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I have tried the Manhattan Prep forums but they list it as a Justify question and I have no idea what that means b/c MK doesn't use that category.

For the principle, I got:

Should criticize ---> no serious harm to person criticized + one does so in the expectation of benefitting someone other than oneself

contrapositive:

serious harm to person criticized OR does so in the expectation of benefitting oneself ---> Should NOT criticize

halp

Thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone,

I am hoping someone can help me because I feel as if I am in a slump right now and am having a hard time getting out. When I started this 7Sage program, I was very motivated and charged at it like a bull and was killing it…However, these past two weeks I have been slacking HARD and just can't get my head into the game. I have all the time in the world to study and do pt's however I just can't get myself there. Even right at this moment, I am doing problem sets, and blind reviewing but I am not operating at my normal potential and it's making me frustrated because I am missing things that I wouldn't normally miss.

Did I burn myself out? Does anyone else feel totally unmotivated? How do you get yourself out?

I am planning on taking the Dec 5th LSAT but I'm not sure if thats a good idea considering how I'm feeling lately.
