Here it is future lawyers - how life a 1L will be - @emli1000 you REALLY might want to take a look at this...

So I finally decided to make a free account, do some of the introductory lessons and then do the June 2007 test as a diagnostic. My problem is that I realized I have no real idea how much I can expect to improve from this point on, or how long that might take.

I scored a 166, with more than half of my errors in Logic Games. Lost 3 marks in reading comp, 1 in each of the logic reasoning sections, and 7 in logic games.

I know that the games are meant to be the easiest to improve at, but where could I realistically expect to end up, if going for the June test this year? I was hoping to try for 170-172, but I have no idea if that's possible in this timeframe.

J.Y. can you please put up an explanation for this one?

Hello All,

I started the 7sage course in January 2015. I have being doing PT's for 2 weeks now with 2 PT's/week as I work full time. I bought the Premium package so I have PT's 36-57. This means that by test day, I should have completed all of these at the current rate. However, I am wondering if I should buy the more recent PT's (60 and on) in order to better prepare? This would mean skipping some of the PT's that come with the 7sage package that I have already bought, which is fine if that would be more helpful. Is this preferable? Any recommendations are welcome! Thanks in advance!

I am looking for someone that I can study the LSAT with. I'm thinking of taking October or December lsat so it would be idealistic if my potential study buddy can share this similar time line. But it's still cool if you are thinking of taking June one since we can still motivate and help each other!

Please PM me or leave a comment if you are interested in being my study buddy!

Hey guys,

So I am registered to take the June LSAT but today got email from William and Mary Law school (yes , a rejection letter sigh ). I am guessing they reviewed my application based on a LSAT score from 2 years ago. Is that a common practice among law schools? I thought they would hold application?

(Feb2013 LSAT score 147)

Aiming to get 158 on June lsat :)

Hi everyone,

if I get accepted to my safety school and decide to retake the LSAT in June to apply to my reach schools who rejected me, to see if I have a chance, will the safety school still take me a year later when I refused the offered seat the year prior?

So far my only option is Princeton Review (as far as in person and weekend goes). I have heard mixed things about them which leads me to be hesitant. PowerScore offers a two day (one weekend) course in person but I can't imagine that having any decent effect.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I work full time and learn best with an in person environment, so naturally this is my preference.

My test date is June 2015.

Any input is appreciated. Is Princeton really THAT bad?

For a game I don't understand I'll print out several copies of that game in order to do over and over. My main question is: how do you decide when to redo a game? If I have 5 copies of a game, do I just immediately redo the 5 copies after watching the video explanation? Do you guys have a system for spacing them out? I have every LG from PT1 to recent, I feel like if I space them out I'll start to accumulate too many games.

I am all sorts of confused by this reconcile/resolve question! In general, I'm not great at these questions, but I think they're pretty fun to do so I don't mind working on them. So if anyone sees any errors in how I'm thinking about this question type, also feel free to give any advice/corrections.

I've paraphrased the Q but kept it as close to the text as possible to avoid copyright issues.

Paradox:

1. Strong evidence to show migraines have PURELY physiological not psychological causes.

2. Studies show people treated for migraines have higher anxiety than people not treated for migraines.

So we're looking for an answer choice that can explain: "The cause for migraines is not psychological, so why do people getting treatment for migraines have higher anxiety than people not being treated for migraines?"

Correct choice: People who have higher anxiety are more likely to seek professional treatment than people who have lower anxiety.

So people who have higher anxiety (like some people being treated for migraines) are more likely to seek professional treatment than people who have lower anxiety. Huh?

Is this saying people who have higher anxiety are more likely to seek professional treatment in general, like treatment for migraines?

I cannot find my way out of this one! HELP!

I understood the Lawgic lessons well...but am having a lot of trouble with resulting real LR questions. The actual stimuli on real-world questions don't appear to be as clear-cut as those in the Lawgic lessons, and I'm missing a huge heap of correct answers due to my inability to turn them into Lawgic.

Is this something that will improve with time (I am currently only 40% through the core course and haven't yet started PTs), or should I already be able to convert every LR question to Lawgic without difficulty?

If so, and I am lacking behind, are there any good resources elsewhere for helping to make this conversion more fluid and natural? I'm more than open to purchasing other books, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Rule 4 throw me off. It says

J drives on Wednesdays or Saturday or both, and he may also drive on other days

So basically J can be weds or Sat or both ...which I get. But if J is not both rule is therefore violated correct?

Diagram would be

IF J is not on 3-> J is on 6

If J is not on 6 -> J is on 3

?

Hello 7 sagers!

My name is Jason. I am looking for LSAT study buddy; I've been studied LSAT more than 8 months(but not consecutively). I ran through other LSAT company's books but improved very few points. (Thank god I found 7sage!!)

I'm prepared for Jun-2015, but I also consider Oct-2015 as well.

Full-disclosure: English is not my native language(which is Mandarin), and I have never been to the U.S.

I live in Taipei, Taiwan (GMT+8).

Anyone who wanna discuss LSAT (via skype) or mentally support each other is welcome.

Or if you live in Taiwan and are fighting for the LSAT, we can fight together.

P.S. If you are likely to be distracted in the U.S. while you study, I suggest you come to Taiwan for some advantages:

1. LSAT June-2015 in Taiwan(Asia-Pacific) is at the end of June, you get two more weeks to prepared.

2. You may not be bothered(or tempted) by your friends and therefore you can focus on your study.

3. Living cost in Taiwan is relatively low, and Taiwan is visa-waived for U.S. citizens.

(3 months for Taiwanese to the U.S., I guess it's same for U.S. citizens.)

Warning: Taiwan is a great place and you may be tempted by food, people and everything you want to explore. In that case, it may cost you an arm and a leg, and then you won't have time studying the LSAT.

Look forward to my LSAT partner, just PM me.

So on my diagnostic, i'm not sure I did the blind review correctly. I transferred all my answers over to the answer sheet on 7sage, then it just gave me my regular and blind review score. When do I go back after I complete the practice test to review my answers without time constraints? Before or after transferring them to 7sage?

Everytime I use the app it crashes within 3 minutes or so. Super frustrating! I've tried re-installing, closing all other running apps, but the problem perists. Help please!

Hey guys,

I'm seeking advice on the proper way to check up on a letter of recommendation. I asked a professor, through e-mail, near the end of February, if he would write me a letter of recommendation. He said yes, told me to send him info from LSAC, and that he would have it done by the end of that week. It has been almost a month and LSAC has yet to receive a letter.

Just wondering what the best way to check up on the LOR without being a 'pest,' so to speak.

Thanks

Hello everybody,

I often struggle at the beginning of my studies. Some of the time I seem to become mentally alert quickly and other times it takes me awhile to reach my optimal attentiveness. It is often discouraging as when I am very alert I do extremely well (missing zero questions) and a lot worse when I am not. Is the inconsistency normal? How do you guys prepare to study/take PTs? I find that my comprehension is very high and maybe this is just a speed issue....I am not exactly sure what the cause of my inconsistency is but I am sure that I want to eliminate it. Any suggestions/encouragement is appreciated.

I really want to score in the 170s,

Thanks

I have two that I need an explanation to.... if anyone wants to take a crack at them.

PT 9, S2, Question 23.

PT 15, S3, Question 18.

Please & thank you!

I took my first LSAT practice blind, without reviewing any material. I Scored a 146. I have about 11 Weeks until the June 8th LSAT. I will be able to study a lot. I don't work full time and I will be able to devote 4 days a week to complete studying. I would be ecstatic if I scored over a 160. Does anyone think this is possible?

The method on 7sage seems like it would work, but I have some concerns. This is a category i'm having trouble with improving on. From what I understand, 7sage suggests you should go over the games once you finish, then keep reviewing it until you have it down 100%. I've seen the "Fool Proof Method", but I was wondering if on the LSAT I take in June, is there only a certain number of ways games are portrayed, that can be solved with a set number of methods? This is hard to explain, but if I memorize how to do the LG on the 70-74 PT should I be pretty solid for the LSAT?

Hey, everyone. I've been studying for the LSAT for a while now and would like to more fine tune my studying in LR. I remember some mentioning packages by question type, but I cannot remember where they can be found. Would anyone be able to help with this? And if such sets exist, do they interfere with PTs currently left untouched by 7Sage?

Is there anyway I can change this setting? On some video explanations the video is enlarged to the point that I cannot read what's on the screen.

I'm sticking to the study schedule created for me as much as I can. But was just wondering if BR/drilling time is factored into the stated weekly hours, and the hours next to each module title?

For example, the first Logic Games module comes in around 7.5 hours (stated by 7Sage) but adding up the video/quiz times comes to much less. Therefore, I'm assuming some drilling time is factored in?

I only ask because, if it isn't, I want to build a schedule where I allocate many more hours to each module in order to drill. Same for the PTs when it comes to BR.

Thanks!

I don't know if this is coincidental, but I noticed the first set of problems on sections 1-4 were easier. Is this the case in most LSAT's? Or is this purely coincidental?

just wondering if other people think the newer prep tests feels quite different than the earlier ones? I was doing pretty well with the older tests and just switched over the newer tests and not doing so well all of the sudden (4.3 point drop on avg). LGs felt immensely easier, averaging -1 at the moment with 10 minutes to spare. But RC felt a lot more tricky, not so much the questions themselves but the answer choices seem to have more/better attractive wrong answers. LR seems to be less structured as well, but i think i can get this section to catch up pretty soon.

any thoughts?
