I've been stuck in the mid to upper 160's for months now and I haven't been able to break into the upper 160's/low 170's consistently. Has anyone else been stuck in this same spot? How did you break through? I've been drilling questions types but when I review my mistakes it seems like most of them come from misreading. I'm not sure if I can slow down much more because I am already finishing the setions with maybe 1 minute to spare. Any advice?

Hi. I am going to give the Lsat in June 2015. I was wondering if anyone else is interested in becoming a partner to discuss plans and goals via email and messages ( i cant study with someone on skype). I will be starting the &sage 3 month course in the next two days. shall be waiting.

Hello everyone,

I'm struggling. I registered for the 7Sage Ultimate course and started prep for my retake in January . I work full-time in a small call center and I feel like I've been sick all winter but I am chugging along slow and steady. But sometime around the last week I hit a road block. Honestly, I'm a little depressed. Right now, I want nothing to do with the LSAT. I haven't completed any drills or games. I was doing a game/drill set a night. I haven't completed a lesson in about a week. I've been concerned with my future over the last few weeks. I'm financially not in the best place. It will be some better when I start law school (most of my credit cards will be paid off) but I will be relying heavily on loans while in school. I'm looking at a long distance move and I'm slightly worried about the financial implications of this goal. I turned 30 in January. I've already put off my law school plans for so long. I was going to go for this year when I originally started preparing but I had to put it off to retake the LSAT. I really don't want to put it off another year. I've been feeling a little down about my situation and wondering if its even worth it. I guess what I'm getting at I was wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom for me. Or anything that motivates them. Or maybe just e-hugs. Hugs are good too. Thanks.

I applied to a few schools recently that interview prior to admissions.

If anyone's interested in a mock interview partner helping one another get better at interviewing and are serious about it, then send me a message and we can do mock interview sessions on skype.

Do they not tell u how many items you got wrong and right in each sections??? I am confused

Congratulations to everyone who went grey yesterday and thanks to everyone for being so helpful during the waiting threads.

I just want to say to anyone who it might affect, please don't be discouraged by people posting high scores, or scores higher than you. You received a percentile grade and for everyone here that posts above you, there are likely some people not posting who are below you.

The important things with respect to your score are that its enough for you for where you want to go. The internet, and less so here, more so on other LSAT boards, tends to be flooded with people disappointed by anything that isn't Hardvard/Yale/Stanford. Of course we can't all go there. Nor should we want to. There are just as many people that have successful law careers going to regional schools, and there are many people who attend HYS and don't even amount to much. Not to discourage anyone from trying to attend these schools of course. All I'm trying to say is, if you set a plan, and achieved the score you needed, congratulations, and don't be discouraged by anyone elses scores here.

To anyone that didn't achieve the score they wanted, I wish you all the best! I'll be re-writing myself so I understand your feeling. If this was your second time writing, I hope you improved from your first.

Hi guys, I found this online. I think it is helpful when sometimes there are LSAT vocab we don't understand

Hello all!

I plan on purchasing the 7Sage course soon and am planning out my schedule until Feb. I have been previously studying for the Dec and postponed due to not feeling ready yet. I'm currently in a Blueprint class set to end in 2 weeks. My first cold diagnostic back in July was a 136...lol. My diagnostic for the BP class on Sept 28 was a 151and I most recently just hit 163 on a PT last week. BP has definitely helped me reach 160 but I feel it does not really cater to the needs of a 170+ scorer.

I plan to complete the 7Sage Curriculum during December and complement with the LR/LG Cambridge Packets for drilling. I'll save the LR/LG "Most Difficult" Packets for January and start section drilling/PT's as well in January. I will drill the RC packets in no particular order, but from Dec-Jan. Can I get some opinions about this brief study plan?

Hey 7Sagers, another fancy new title coming your way!

I'm sure most of you have noticed "Sage" title. Well, we've got a new addition: "⭐" (Previously Mentor)

What does this new title mean?

⭐ (Previously Mentor): We noticed you've been supportive and active. These members are hand-picked by 7Sage staff (and the Students!). ⭐ members are not subject to an LSAT score cut off. ⭐ members are or were enrolled in a 7Sage course.

Sage: Our "Sage" title is still reserved for those who scored 170 or higher (we verify this). To become a Sage, you'll now have to have previously been a ⭐ member. Sages were or are still are enrolled in a 7Sage course.

Keep it up, 7Sagers!

I was studying with a fellow 7Sager and he sent me links of the LR questions that we would BR. I can click on the links and it'll show me the explanations for each question. No problem there. My question is, how can I get to the LR explanations through my account??? Hopefully that doesn't sound too crazy, but I don't see how to get to it when I'm logged into my account. Is it because we have different pkgs? Maybe he has a higher pkg? But, if so, how would I be able to access the info from just clicking on the link from my email? Once I click on a link for a certain question I can then hit the previous and next buttons to get to the previous or next LR question. Does that make sense? From my account I only see the LG explanations listed. Am I missing something? Help! LOL Here is one of the links I have: http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-34-section-3-question-08/

I wasn't able to follow the breadcrumbs though.

I recently received my February 2015 LSAT score and I am greatly pleased by the result. Thanks 7Sage! In addition, I took the LSAT December 2014 and knew the score was adequate for the law school I was targeting. I received this past Friday the acceptance letter and scholarship amount for my admission. However, with this new LSAT score could I request a higher scholarship amount because the score is actually above the median. My original score was dead-on the 25% median.

Thanks and greatly appreciate all the help I received from 7Sage and its members! Truly the best LSAT Prep course in the world! lol

The scores will be emailed to you on March 3, 2015. At least that's what it says for me on LSAC.org. I took mine at Brooklyn College in Bklyn, NY, so I don't know if that date applies to everyone.

Anybody in the OC already in/want to start a study group? I'm moving back home temporarily to study with no distractions on the 15th and would love to study together, even if we do nothing more but have LSAT books on top of a table and are sharing the same space.

If your decision is contingent on finding a study buddy who is similar to you, I will message you my stats :)

Just curious , while studying do you guys listen to music? (of course not during timed exams)

They seem to make me less stressed during games or do you recommended no music while studying at all ? (sorry if this question sounds totally silly).

I've run out of practice tests, so I'd like to take the India LSATs, as previously recommended by @Litian.Chen and @"Nilesh S" http://www.pearsonvueindia.com/lsatindia/#handbook .

I noticed, though, that the Games section for the first India LSAT is the same as the one in the free June 2007 preptest, only with Indian names and places used. Are the other three India LSATs also just re-hashes of other available preptests?

My icons are grey. This is not a drill!

I haven't taken a PT since early December, but my lowest score was 146 and my highest was a 157. I started Last September with about 2 months of not studying in between (finals, Midterms, Xmas break, etc.).

Hi all,

So a while back, I remember reading a post where a number of students were asking the instructors to share a real-time video of writing a PT. I think I remember someone mentioning that in one of the PT review videos (one of the 60s PTs, I think...), JY did post a video writing an LR section. Could anyone verify that please, and tell me exactly which PT that was?

Also, right around that time, I came across a video of Johnathan(?) writing an LR section (in 18 mins....) on Youtube. I have no idea how I found it, but I lost it since and I wanna rewatch it for purely entertainment purposes. If anyone has that link, could you please share?

FYI, I came across videos of JY writing an RC section for PT5 (too fast, too accurate).

Hey!

I just wanted to share with you all this deal I came across on Ebay. I actually paid $11 to get the print edition of The Economist for a full year! If that's not a deal then I don't know what is! lol But since I don't like reading stuff through my screen I looked into getting a subscription and this was totally worth it. I feel that I spend more $ on printing 4-5 articles daily. So I gave in and in all honesty I think that this has helped my RC score. Also I am more aware of what's going on in the world. Which is important for all of us especially since we all want to practice law one day. It's like I'm so used to reading a couple of articles throughout the day that when I don't I feel like I'm missing something. And I'm sure when I'm done with the LSAT I will still find pleasure in reading these weekly articles. So if anyone else has been looking for a cheap subscription to purchase I have posted the Ebay link below.

Hi everyone! I'm just wondering whether any of you are applying for a JD/MBA program and also need to study for the GMAT? I feel like I've been extremely lucky and spoiled by finding 7sage right away in the beginning of my LSAT prep and am having difficulty finding any online course or study material remotely as comprehensive and well designed in the world of GMAT. Also, I am having trouble deciding how much of GMAT prep is repetitive in terms of RC and logical reasoning, so whether I should start from the beginning of a course or where to jump in... Any advice would be much appreciated!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that always participated in the discussions and shares their notes/ study methods/explanations and so on. But it truly makes a difference being able to get on here and knowing that I'm not the only one prepping for the LSAT and talking about the process. It's a lot better when you have an entire community willing to help each other out. So I appreciate all of you on here ^_^

A few weeks ago I was going to purchase The Trainer and somehow I was asking about it before I purchased it on Ebay and @"Nilesh S" so happened to be sharing his experience using this book along with 7Sage so I figure why not ask him if he's selling his copy so that I can purchase it from him instead since he's probably never going to open it again. I rather buy it off someone from 7Sage then someone off Ebay. That was my way of thinking when I made that comment to him. It so happens that he said he was not selling his copy but instead he would be willing to mail it to me for free. Which I was not expecting him to say all of that lol but I am thankful and I hope that when I am done with the LSAT I can also bless someone on here with this book and everything I have that's LSAT related. ^_^

Have a great day everyone & stay warm!

I have been studying for three months now, and I have seen a 19 point increase insofar (147-166); however I scored a 157 on a PT today, with a BR of 167. A lot of my mistakes were due to misreading, rushing and not paying attention to great detail. My RC is consistently -8 or -9. My PT scores are listed below.

PT 36: 166

PT 37: 165

June 2007: 162

PT 38: 157 (BR- 167)

Any advice? Do any of you seem to make careless mistakes on PTs? Have I plateaued? Would it be a bad idea to take another PT tonight, or is two in one day overkill?

Hey 7Sagers,

Added a study guide / cheat sheet sub-category:

http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/categories/study-guides

Put your study guides in there so you don't lose them in the forum clutter! :)

I also added a suggestions sub-category last week:

I am really confused on strengthen LR questions (assumption family). So I learned that if you attack strengthen questions fhe same way as "must be true" questions it will screw you up. Makes sense, but sometimes the right answer to strengthen questions seem like a must be true. So I'm confused.

For example, February 1996 LR 1 Q. 11 about space stations correct answer seems to be a must be true even though it's a strengthen question type.

So I was wondering what techniques I could use to prevent myself from making the same trivial errors. I've noticed that I'm making the same mistakes during timed practice, that I don't make during untimed, but for some reason I can't prevent myself from making them. It's weird. I'll take a timed section, make a mental note not to make a certain error during review, and then when I take a second time section and I'm confronted with the same type of question, I'll mess up and make the same type of error I sought so hard not to make.
