I created a 22 question PT for myself, but I am unsure how to locate the Video explanation of the questions. I am looking to find the video for each question explaining why an answer was correct or not correct. Thank you

Hey everyone-

I am going through the core curriculum for the second time (a year apart) and had an idea I'm playing with and think is helpful.

I started fool proofing both solving the game completely (as JY often does in his video) and never splitting the board. I realized that when under time pressure, I may not see all of the inferences that lead to a full and complete solve, but I still need to find the correct answers in a timely manner.

For an idea of how this looks from a process standpoint:

*Repeat until I can answer all of the questions correctly and well under time without the fully solved game board.

After doing this, I felt there was another skill set being developed and felt less flat footed going into games if I couldn't fully solve a game board.

I am going to provide these caveats...

What do you guys think? Anyone else experiment with doing this?

Just took a practice test and proceeded to the Blind Review after.

How representative is the score of the Blind Review to my overall success of taking that PT? Should I expect growth to that score?

Was there a separate session on embedded conditional reasoning?

What are the some online LSAT class courses that you all have taken that worked for you? I took Princeton Review before and it was okay. I'm looking to enroll in a new class coming up for better luck. Please let me know if you have any recommendations

So i wished I started preparing for the newer LG types much earlier, but anyways, any tips and suggestions for the ones where the game setup and rules aren't as obvious? Like JY said, put your pencils down and peek at the questions. Any other suggestions? They seem to be getting the better of me.

I have taken 15 PTs since the beginning of May and my scores have ranged from 170-179 with the average being a 175. I have read that this kind of variance above a 170 is not unexpected, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience throughout the last month or so of their prep and how did it translate on test day? I am taking the July exam, so I am feeling a bit nervous haha

What does 1 on 1 tutoring do for one's score/test strategy? At what point and how would one decide its worth the expense?

7Sage Website Gods,

I love being able to take the PT1-35 LG sections timed and then easily check answers after BRing them by clicking on Resources > Logic Game Explanations.

I would love to be able to do the same thing as I work on LR sections from those same tests. I have the questions already, but to find answers, I have to "score" a PT for the relevant test, then find the question explanation links, then afterwards delete the "scored" PT from my history so it doesn't throw off my analytics.

Any chance you could add a page that would only be visible based on your membership level, and that is formatted like the LG Explanations page, but for LR questions?

If such a resource already exists, or there is an easier way than my current solution, and I just haven't found it, could you point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

-Joe

Hi,

I'm pretty set on putting in applications for this application cycle, but know there is a possibility I would want to defer or re-apply during a later cycle so that I can continue to pursue other goals. I'm wondering how declining admission to a school (T14) would impact a later application. I have heard that declining admission if you got off the waitlist looks very bad. Are deferrals ever granted for 2+ years? How soon after receiving an admissions offer does one have to make their decision?

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

My average PT score right now is 168.5 (highest was a 175) with my recent scores in the 169-173 range; my BRs are consistently in the low-mid 170s. My GPA is 3.79 (it's lower than my actual GPA cuz I went to a quarter-system school: kill me).

I have not started writing any essays and I want to apply this fall. Is it worth it to get any kind of admissions consulting? I'm paying out of pocket and there are so many free resources available, so I'm doubting the value of paid consulting. But I also want to produce the best possible application. What do y'all think?

Secondly, I would love to study for the September/October with some peers based in the Bay or the Pacific Time Zone. If you live around the Fremont or Milpitas area, let me know and we can study in-person at a library or coffee shop. If not, I'm happy to use Zoom!

Thanks in advance!

I am having trouble clear printout of pT 49 , it does not seem to print sections 2, 3 and 4 clearly. Section 4 is particularly bad. I know it is not my printer since I am able to print the other PTs (60s) just fine. I am going to try 50 now.

I feel like in the last two months alone, 7Sage has introduced new tags (especially for LR) out of blue? While I appreciate the ability for more detailed analysis, it's a bit anxiety-inducing to discover there's a new dimension on this test that I need to master. How often does 7Sage add/discover tags?

Looking for people to study in 209 area

Howdy, 7 sage!

If anyone is in college station and taking the June LSAT, and would like to study together for it, message me.

Just looking for people to study with and keep each other accountable with studying. Think it could be helpful to get feedback and input from other people and whatnot. Message me if you're interested

Hi,

I've seen a few message boards concerning group chats. However, it's not clear whether these message boards are translating to real groups being formed. I'll offer to start a discord group for anybody that is aiming to take the LSAT in September and or October, as I am.

My user is @dcforrapii

Send me a message, and I'll start it up :)

Is anyone near Savannah, GA or Hilton Head Island, SC studying for the September or December LSAT? I'm hoping to find someone to prep with.

JY mentioned that he would go over the difference "later," but I couldn't find it...

Does anyone know where this lesson is, and/or can explain the difference to me?

Thanks!

Hi guys! So I spent the summer working through the 7Sage lesson prep and now am at the stage where I just drill PT's and review them. BUT I am a junior in college who is majoring in Finance and a minor in Econ aka a lot of course load. I also am in a frat and want to join an extra finance club but any suggestions on time management? I am thinking about definitely taking a test every friday and reviewing it sat/sunday. Then taking another test on like monday but taking the tuesday-thursday to review it (i.e. in between my classes and when I have a spare hour) granted there will be weeks that I can't get both tests in can I just get advice from anyone else who has had success balancing work/school with LSAT studying? BTW I am taking the LSAT in February of 2014. Any advice would help!!

Hi guys,

Here is the gist: I have a scientific background and tend to do well on science passages. I suck at art and humanities passages.

It seems like I can go -0 pretty easily on 1 and 2 star passages, -1 on 3 star passages, and anything between -2 to -4 on 4 and 5 star passages.

Obviously I have difficulty with the hard and hardest passages. I find that I read the stimulus in about 3:30 minutes and usually that is enough to understand 1 to 3 star passages really well to get most of the questions right. Spend the same amount of time on 4 and 5 star passages though, and I get a lot of questions wrong timed. I know that it is because a) I spin my wheels on difficult questions and b) I did not fully understand the passage.

I know what I have to do in order to address a), but for b) it seems to be a case of... I need to do a drill set/intensive on hard reading comp passages. I went ahead and printed all the 4 to 5 star passages from PT 7 to 35. Going to do them timed and blind review. And then put them away/archive them and redo them after some time has passed. What do you think?

I am confused by question 8. I was down to C and E, ultimately chose E, but only due to pure luck.

I don't know why C is supported but E is not.

The potential support for C is in line 23, where it says "one problem in studying the effects of drilling waste discharges..." But it just says there is a problem in studying. It doesn't say that the study is done. Perhaps the study wasn't done due to the problem. Who knows? Another potential support is just the whole second and third paragraphs of Passage B. They tell us that WBM is less harmful than OBM to the environment. That potentially implies that a study was done?

The potential support for E is in line 32, where it says that Drilling mud is normally released during the drilling phase of a well's existence. We know that the mud is discharged, although we don't know if it is continuously discharged into the sea.

To me, C and E both have weak support. I don't know why C is more supported than E.

When you are retaking a section, how much time do you allot yourself for the entire section? Do you stick with 35 minutes or do you decrease to 33 minutes?

Hello, looking to see if there are other individuals in the NYC area wanting to meet on weekends to discuss wrong answers and go over practice problems together. I have been advised that really focusing on wrong answers and understanding them will help significantly; thus, I wanted to create a study group just focused on this. I am prepping for the June exam as I work full time, thus, I need more runway to study. Feel free to message me!

I applied to Duke towards the end of October. File complete on 10/30. Just went under review today. I'm not on the priority track. Does anyone know how long non-PT applicants generally have to wait before hearing back?
