I am taking the LSAT in June and I am looking to take a course in the mean time leading up to the test date. I've seen a few courses offered in my area, but a lot intertwine with my work schedule. I was wondering if anyone knew of any that met once a week on a weekend or anything of the sort? Thanks for any input.

I am in the DFW area in case anyone knows of any specifically applying to my area.

Has anyone thought that the decision to stop the distribution of prep tests might be good for us competition wise? In the future, LSAT test takers will not have the old tests to review and practice from. Maybe this gives us an advantage.

So, the rankings for 2015-2016 came out today. California schools seem to be doing much better probably given the improving employment prospects, a huge consideration for US News Ranking. Also, kudos to UC Irvine for ranking so high given that this was their first time being ranked. Here's how Cali schools ranked.

Stanford 2(tie (+1))

Berkeley 8(tie (+1)) - Applied

UCLA 16 (-)

USC 20(-) - Applied

Irvine 30 (NR) - Applied

Davis 31(+5)

Pepperdine 52 (+2) - Applied

Hastings 59 (-5) - Applied

Loyola 75 (+12) - Applied.

In the description for the starter course, it says I have access to 300+ printable problem sets. Are these the problems at the end of the lessons or am I missing something?

I'm trying to access addons to buy PT's. Help!

I've just started the first LG module and am on the first problem set (Sequencing Games Homework Set 1). We're asked to tackle it after doing just four logic games along with JY in the prior few lessons.

The problem is that I don't feel those first few lessons offer enough grounding for us to be able to tackle an entire problem set, aim to do it in 10 mins and fool proof them. Each game, for example, contains a bunch of game rules the prior lessons didn't introduce us to, and we're not experienced enough yet in drawing inferences to be able to see them all.

Is it acceptable to treat these problem sets as video lessons, and work through them with the videos rather then just try to tackle them alone? I feel more grounding is needed before we try to tackle questions alone.

Hi Team,

Just wanted to run this new study plan with you all and see what your take is. I took the exam in Feb and got a 164. I want to aim for the 173+ range so going for it hard again.

Plan:

Restudy all 7sage material and put more of an ephasis on basic concepts i.e logic lessons etc

Cambridge Drills

Manhattan Material ( if needed)

20-25 PTs

BR the heck out of every question till I can explain it to a 2 yr old :P

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Does anyone know if this is allowed or looked down upon. Furthermore, do I need to check my prescription in with someone? I take medication for my ADD, and I was wondering if I would be allowed to take it during the 15 minute break. Please no judgements, this is a completely legal prescription.

I made a mistake on when transferring from paper to the online answer sheet, I used to be able to see an option to change the answer right below the score portion but it is not there anymore...any other methods?

Hello, everyone!

I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the recent LSAT changes. If you have not here's a recent post with the article attached: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2484/lsac-licensing-changes.

Anyway, I know a lot of people are probably freaking out. Hell, I made sure to DL all that I needed from 7Sage when I first read the news. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered. What happens to 7Sage and other online based prep courses? How will this affect how I study? When will changes take effect, and how soon? How will this affect my subscription? I mean, after all, we all did pay X amount for X amount of time. This all includes the PTs, lessons, and videos for every question. Well, here's the direction I THINK LSAC is heading towards.

We all know that 7Sage uses paid subscription, and that we are allotted a limited amount of time of which can be extended at any time. My understanding is, LSAC no longer wants PDF PTs to be free to circulate once someone is done with any course that utilizes these PTs. So, my assumption is they will change the format of future PTs to another file type, and will have all prep test courses that use PDF PTs to switch over to this new file type. This will be similar to renting a digital textbook at any university/college. You purchase the license, and after X amount of time the file deletes itself or is no longer accessible. It's not much different than the current system at 7Sage, minus the PTs will self-delete. It's like losing the ultimate package after one year of being subscribed to 7Sage, we just can't keep the PTs we downloaded a long time ago.

Along with everyone else, I'd like to hear what the higher ups have to say about this. @"J.Y. Ping" and @"Dillon A. Wright"!

If you have any alternate theories or anything that compliments what I wrote, please discuss! Anticipate the worst, hope for the best!

Hey all,

LSAT prep noob here and I was just wondering how much of a better candidate I can make myself with, say a 170+ LSAT. I posted a 157 diagnostic, so from the feedback I've received, 170+ is at least within the realm of possibility. I graduated May '13 with about a 3.4 GPA (<

Hey guys! I can't find the original thread @emli1000 started about BR'ing PTs together. I'm going to take PT3 tomorrow and was wondering if anybody wanted to BR together. I also can BR whichever PTs you guys are taking (though I'll pass if its PTs 50-74, since I'm saving those for when we get closer to the test date).

Aiming for the October LSAT.

I am currently around 35% through the core curriculum. While I feel I have a better overall understanding of things and that stuff is coming together nicely (scoring around 7/10 on the quizzes), I do still feel somewhat lost at points. It's as if some of what I am learning isn't sticking.

Naturally I am just in the infancy of my LSAT career - but is this feeling normal? Or should I be finishing each section in the core curriculum with the "I have a 100% concrete, rock-solid, iron-clad understanding of EVERYTHING I just read" feeling?

I'm sure things will really come together when I start drilling PTs.

Any wisdom is welcomed and appreciated!

Usually when I BR a PT I do every section. I always circle the ones I know I'm not 100% sure about but when I BR I go through the entire PT and write out my reasoning for every single answer choice. It's time consuming but it makes my brain work and do what I've learned throughout the course. So it's kind of a win-win situation. Once I finish BR I watch every single video explanation even though my reasoning is exactly as the video explanation, but I feel that if I skip questions I may miss something important lol so I watch every video. Is this recommended? Or should I just focus on those questions that I'm missing instead? Has anyone else done this before?

I learned in a video explanation that "will usually be" always indicates a correlation? Is that true? I don't think I have that in my notes. Ooops lol

Hi all,

I started 7Sage 3-4 weeks ago and I'm about 20% through the curriculum. Now that I'm on Spring break I hope to finish the rest of the curriculum in the next two weeks and then start with practice tests. But I'm not sure if I want to take the test in June or October. I intend to apply in the fall to enter school in fall of 2016

Thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks! :)

I have never done any studying at all for the LSAT. I will be taking my first test tomorrow to get my base score. Is there anything I can look over or study this evening? I want to dive in but don't know where I could potentially start! I signed up for the starter package. Thanks!

Took my baseline test, and got a disappointing 146. A major factor of such a low score is that I ran out of time in every section.

For section 1, did not get to read the last 7 questions before the time ran out.

For section 2, did not get to read last 8 questions and skipped 1 before the time ran out.

For section 3, skipped 3 questions near the end and didn't get to go back before time ran out.

For section 3, did not get to read the last 5 questions before the time ran out.

Speed is obviously a major contributor to the low score. If anyone has any words of wisdom, or encouragement it would be appreciated!! As you study for this test, I assume you will speed up, but do you think its possible for me to speed up enough to get to all the questions? Thanks for reading!

I have been debating between A and E, both seem very similar. Although I get that the answer is E, can someone please explain to me why is it not A? This video has few comments so I wasn't able to find something too helpful.

Hi all, I have taken the Feb 15 LSAT. I have scored a 145 on the test and was very disappointed with my score. I was really bothered by the test anxiety that had my heart beating very fast and was a big factor because I felt like all of the questions were going past me and I could not settle into the test at all.

I have been preparing for the test for over 6 months and have been scoring in the mid 150’s a score that is sufficient to got into a local law school that I have just been rejected from. I am wondering if I should consult a psychiatrist and maybe even do hypnosis exercises to help me get over the severe anxiety I had when taking the test. If anyone else has had the same issues or has any tips for what I should do please respond.

I know this sounds far fetched to some readers but its definitely real for me. I know this because at home I have done over 30 PT’s and was very comfortable in my own home setting, but when the timer started during the real test I just felt like I was taking my first diagnostic. I felt like I should of gotten a 155, a score that is not high at all but would be competitive for the law school for which I am applying.

Please advise.

Thank you,

Hey everyone,

Some of you may remember my story. I took the LSAT in September 2014, highly disappointed with a 145 but I have no one to blame but myself. I started prep in January for a retake by registering for an Ultimate course but I am going snails pace. I work full-time in a call-center (including commute 50-55 hours a week). I'm up to about the mid 150s guessing. I have zero family and very little friends support. It's really difficult to keep moving forward. I've done a lot of soul searching to determine that this is what I want to do. But its a uphill battle even at my best but I'm working on making that less steep. I have a 3.0 GPA but I can write an addendum that describes the semester that really brought it down. So maybe that will help. My LSAT goal is high 160s-low 170s. But of course the sky's the limit (180). I'm doing better at keeping motivated but I'm worried about the time. At this rate, it will be late spring/summer before I finish the course if I work my butt off. When I start PTs, I will probably only have the time to complete one a week. I'm thinking it may be beneficial for me to wait until December. My only concern is that I may have to rush to get in my applications in for starting school August 2016, but I don't think its too late. I know T14 is unlikely. My instinct says if I feel ready in September take the LSAT in October if not wait until December. But I like to plan things. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hello, all!

I decided to start doing the LG bundle games that I never did (when studying for the December exam). I always averaged about 3-5 wrong which really frustrated me. My best ever was -1 and I was never able to hit that again. I finally hit 0 wrong in 33 minutes and 30 seconds. It feels amazing :)! I need to continue of course, but it feels good knowing my hard work is paying off and that I might have finally gotten over that hump!

Share your success/hump stories as well please :D! it's great motivation :)!

I am making a spread sheet of the questions that I got wrong in this section and I am needing some help. Can someone please help me I am stuck. I am re-writing the question stem in a way that I understand it and then I am writing down the answer choices to explain why 4 are wrong and the one right is correct.

I am not really understanding why the correct answer is D. I picked B. Can any one help me understand why the other answer choices are wrong? Thanks!!!! :)

Hi Sagers

Recently I've been drilling flawed questions. Basically, I try to find the gap in the argument first then attack the argument. However. I have a hard time finding the "right gap" or I find the gap but picked up wrong answers choice. What problem would it be? How would you guys approach flaw questions? Thank you so much! :)
