Hi all!
I'm in the process of studying for the September 27 exam, and I'm wondering whether there are any 7Sagers who would like to get together to take PTs and discuss problems/study methods/etc. Ideally, I'd like to meet up on either a Saturday, Sunday, or Monday morning somewhere in Vancouver (location suggestions welcome - maybe a VPL branch?).
If anyone is interested, let me know!
The study schedule gives 12 hours as the recommended time to complete the Practice Test's, complete blind review and then go over questions you missed with video explanations. I'm wondering how long this actually takes other people to accomplish? Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how long that process takes for them.
I am working on logic games, and they definitely seem to be the section that I need to improve the most in. One of my biggest problems is knowing when to make inferences, knowing when to split up the board, and knowing when it's time to head to the questions.
I get really intimidated by the games and don't feel confident as I work through the scenarios. I always run out of time when I time myself. Everything makes sense when I watch the games on video, but it's very hard for me to make deductions on my own.
From what I've seen on the course, repeating the same game over and over with correct inferences will allow me to make inferences in similar games. Is that really true? What would be the best thing for me to do?
I have been studying close to three months now. I took a month long prep course through my university to kick off my studying. My diagnostic was low as expected. Although I have literally stayed at the same score with a slight 2 point improvement a few weeks ago. I took a PT today but it was one I had already taken by accident and obviously scored the best because the material was familiar. I just am so frustrated and cannot get the improvement I am wanting to see despite studying 5 days a week. I would love to personally talk to someone where I could give them more details about my situation etc. Someone please help
I know there are a few UMBC students looking at law school, but don't know if any of those peeps are using 7Sage.. If Anyone is in the area and is looking for a study buddy during the semester, let me know!

Anyone can tell me why option D is wrong? Passage A mentions an objection to progressive taxes when it highlights the incentives for avoiding it and the opportunities to do so and passage B mentions the objection of unfairness in the first paragraph. Just how can D be wrong? Anyone is with me in sending a complaint to LSAC?
Hi
Wondering if others are seeing this. There used to be a chart for how many incorrect/correct questions on the exam in LSAT Analytics. I dont see that chart anymore.
I can see where you used to be able to select if you wanted to view incorrect/correct, individual/stacked, and blind review/actual. The selections are sitting above 'Section Performance.' but the chart is missing.
I've tried a few different browsers, but am getting the same "error."
I'm interested in a few study buddies scoring in the 165+ range to put my competitive nature to use (and hopefully do the same for you!)

Thanks.
So, I came across this comic today and thought it would be worth sharing! It's certainly an interesting approach to trying to understand "lawgic" and the different types of flaws. Let me know what you think!
Hi everyone. I am taking the 7sage course, and I am about halfway through. I am taking the LSAT for the second time in September and am aiming for a score in the high 160's-low 170's. I have the next two months to dedicate to this full time, and am willing to do whatever it takes to get better.
Right now, I am at the Sufficient Assumption portion of the course but am skipping ahead to finish all of the logic games sections (my weakest section). I want to finish the course as soon as possible and start taking multiple practice tests over and over. I am a little overwhelmed with needing to finish the course, do blind reviews, and do clean copies of logic games over and over.
What is a good point for me to finish the course, and am I considered behind schedule?
I'm currently taking the 7sage course for the September 2014 LSAT. Everything is going really well, and I'm learning a lot. Logic games are definitely the section I need the most work in, and I think repetition is the way I will see the most improvements. I like the method of memorizing inferences and doing clean copies of specific games each day. However, I'm curious as to which games I should choose.
I am now only using the games mentioned in the course. I know that there are a ton of practice tests with games sections. Are there specific games out of those sections that would be beneficial memorizing? I can't do repeat every game over and over, so I want to make the best use of my time.
I am having a very difficult time in setting up the premises and conclusions on sufficient assumption problem sets 1 and 2... How are you doing them? Are you also having trouble setting them up? Tips?
I was breezing through the course with ease up until this part.
So JY always predicts a assumption that closes the gap between the premises and conclusion, and its magically in the answer choices. For those of us who don't have this ability... WHAT DO WE DO. I honestly know there is an assumption that is being made, should I just use that thought alone to approach the answer choices or should I really try to pre-phrase an answer or something. It is just very discouraging to not even get the assumption correct because how do you expect to get the answer right.
Any responses or your own thoughts on how to approach weakening/strengthening would really help!

I've been practicing games according to the 7sage method for a a few weeks now. I easily do the games in or under the suggested time after about 3-4 tries. However, I am still too slow whenever I start a completely new game. Usually a new game takes me about 10-15 minutes, so on PTs I rarely complete more than 2 games. This is a slight improvement. Before I practiced this way my times were a little higher.
My question is what exactly is meant by "memorize the inferences" "or reproduce the inferences from memory"? That may seem like a silly question, but I'm asking because I'm not sure I'm using the method correctly. Like I said I can complete games quickly after 3-4 tries because I make the inferences much more quickly, but I'm not sure I actually have them "memorized". It doesn't seem like this practice is helping me make inferences much faster on new games. So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. When you "reproduce the inferences from memory" do you just do the game again and again or do you write the inferences down first to ensure you have them memorized? I want to make sure my practice will translate into faster times on new games as well.
Hi all,
I'm looking for one or more study buddies who are scoring in the 170s on PTs and trying to get from great to near-perfect. I'm mostly in the 173-176 range right now, and plan to start studying "full-time" tomorrow for the September test. My GPA wasn't stellar, so I'm looking for a 178+ on the day of reckoning.
I love, love, love the analytics tools here, especially the strength and weakness charts, and think it would be really helpful to talk through questions with others of similar aptitude. (Necessary assumption: Some people have strengths where I have weaknesses, and vice versa!)
Is anyone interested?
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I'm looking to improve my accuracy by doing timed sections for both the Logic Games and Logical Reasoning but because I'm still practicing, I'd like to reserve the "newer" LSATs for when I'm doing FULL timed practice tests.
I've been practising with the older Logic Games bundle posted on 7sage (with some new ones mixed in since I understand that the games have changed slightly over the years) but was wondering if anyone knew of a similar bundle I could purchase or download for Logical Reasoning?
Thanks a bunch. Happy studying!!

I'm repeatedly screwing up while transferring my choices to my answer sheet. It's driving me nuts. On my last practice test there were two questions where I had the right answer marked in the test book but the wrong answer on the answer sheet.
The first one I have no explanation for. I clearly circled E in the book but C on the answer sheet. The second one makes a little more sense because I changed the answer in the book but forgot to update the answer sheet.
I'm sitting here like an ass watching videos to figure out how I got these questions wrong only to realize I already had the correct answer. This could be a free 1-2 points on my test. Any advice on how to stop messing up?
I can't view the graph on section performance within the LSAT analytics.
I downloaded the Logic Game Cheat Sheet, but what about some language/word indicators of which kind of game it is. Hints, ideas? Appreciate it.
If you're in the Philadelphia area and want a study partner (for the Sept LSAT), let me know. It would be cool to hold each other accountable and share strategies. Respond if you'd be interested!

Now I know the opposite of some is none and the opposite of some .. not is all. What about the opposite of most and most .. not? I can see the opposite of most would be at most half, how about most .. not? Thanks!
Struggling with reading comp, any tips, advice etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Hey everyone! Im writing my first LSAT in September. I started with the Powerscore books but was recommended this program by a friend and it has helped me so much! I'm half way through the Powerscore logic games bible and I'm just starting the logic games section on 7sage. Should I continue reading the rest of the Powerscore or focus more on 7sage lessons? I've seen many positive remarks about 7sage's prep for logic games but any additional advice would be splendid!
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
What is the correct training process for utilizing a BR? After, I have completed all 4 sections of my PT or after I have completed a LR section...
Cordially,
Joe
