I see controls in the lower left corner to change the video playback speed, but clicking on them does nothing. The buttons appear in Chrome, but not in Firefox (on Windows 7). I'm using the most recent version of flash. Are we supposed to be able to adjust the playback speed? I would really like to be able to use this feature.

When I take PTs, I tend to lose concentration after first 2 sections, or sometimes just right after few questions on the 1st section. I found myself keep reading the premise over and over without actually understanding it. Or my mind wonders restlessly. I have never considered myself someone who has a concentration problem, but I do these days. As an international student whose dominant language is not English, I have to focus 100% on the test in order to understand, but these days, I am finding it so hard to do so, and it is extremely frustrating and stressful. Is there any one who is experiencing or experienced same thing or anyone who can help me resolve this? Thank you in advance.

I want to get started on my applications although I am still studying for the December 2013 LSAT. I hope that someone here can answer my question because I have seen such helpful, nice responses to other questions.

I already took the LSAT once last year and did poorly, and I will be taking it again in December. As we all know it's better to submit earlier rather than later. When should I submit applications? Should I do it ASAP even before December scores come out in January, say in December? But I'm worried that schools will overlook the part where I check off to wait for a pending score, because I have heard of people who were rejected right off the bat because the school did not wait for the later score. Or should I submit right when the score comes out? I already have my transcript and CAS in, which helps.

I feel like this must be a common situation for many people, yet I get conflicting answers from everyone! Thanks so much for any insight.

Hey people,

Wanted to get some advice on whether or not it's helpful to re-do the PTs that you have already done once...?

It obv cannot accurately measure what you are scoring, but it must be helpful in some way?

Any advice / feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Sujin

Hello,

I've just realised that when I first wrote the LSAT (June 2012), I took PT52 to PT60 to "prepare." This was before I discovered 7sage and I used the "betting method" to check over my answers.

Do you think it will be a disadvantage, if I redo the tests? I have the Premium version of the course, so there are some test that I have never seen before, though there aren't a LOT of new ones... and I did them over a year ago. I have a good memory, but it's not that good, lol.

Thoughts?

I need a bit of help on this one, I am currently working on my MBA and studying for the December LSAT (a bit obvious but I thought I would just make it clear). I am enrolled in the Basic class and considering the Ultimate one, however given that I have less than two months would this make sense? I do not work AT ALL, I am just preparing for the LSAT and working on my MBA. I can devote the full 40+ hours per week to the LSAT if necessary. I could take the Premium but I really want to be as prepared as possible. This is my second and (better be) last attempt. I don't want to waste the money if I won't see enough of a return, however that being said even a few points of difference can make or break an application. Thoughts?

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone was interested in a Study Buddy in the East Coast (Skype/Google hangouts fine) stuyding for the Dec.2013 exam? I'm in the Philly region and was going to try to do the PT50s this month and the 60s next month -- and looking for people who were willing to discuss questions missed on the weekdays say 9pm-11pm EST, weekends whenever. I'm thinking of doing PT 51 on Thursday.

Thanks

Hello!

I noticed there aren't very many discussions about that answers to older tests from the late 90s, like from prep tests 19-28. I was using these older ones to practice and saving the more recent ones to use as dress rehearsals for the big day under actual testing conditions.

Is this actually a good strategy, or are these tests so old that I can't rely on them any more? I realize they don't have comparative reading, but other than that, are the games and LR sections still good sources of practice?

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble with the LR sections. I can't seem to get a proper hold of when to diagram or when not to, and it usually ends with me taking the trap answers.

I've walked through the 7sage LR guides, but I am not quite sure how to tackle these problems effectively. Does 7sage or does anyone know a drill or another place where I could look.

Thanks in advance.

First of all, I hope you all enjoyed LSAT 70. I took it myself, and found it to be a decent test. I know we can't discuss specifics yet, but I wanted to open up the door for post test dialogue between us 7Sagers.

I will say the adrenaline was pumping. But as JY said, once I hit the questions it was just the usual routine and the nerves seemed to fade out. Fortunately, my testing center was great. The room temperature was freezing, but I prefer that over heat.

My overview of the test is as follows.

I was hoping for games or LR for the experimental, and what did I get, RC.

I do not know which one was experimental as they both seemed to be of the same difficulty. I will say that in the past, it has been my worst section, however, both of the sections seemed relatively easy. Which concerned me. That seems to be the consensus on the web right now. Those typically doing well on RC found it difficult, those having done poorly found it easy. Mind blowing. The questions seemed to be obvious at times with no trickery.

The LR was standard. My first LR section was easy- I thought at that time that it was experimental as they had some strange questions that I wasn't used to. The second LR section was kind of a beast. I made it through the whole thing, but I didn't have time to confirm any that I had doubts on.

The games section was easy, probably one of the easiest I've had in a long time.

Now we can enjoy the suspense of waiting for the results.

Looking for a study buddy who is currently aiming for 175+ for the Deccember LSAT.

Time for meetings will be open for discussion.

3 Practice Tests a week with an in-depth review.

A mixture of PowerScore, Manhattan, and 7sage methods will be used, but its not necessary for one to be familiar with any of the above cited methods as long as that person has learned the basics from 7sage.

Anyone is free to join the group, however, the lower your current score is, the more hours you will need to study in order to keep up with the group.

Those interested in joining, please leave your e-mail below for further information about the group to be e-mailed to you.

While allowing extra space for the Games sections clearly has a ton of benefits, I have encountered one big difficulty. I almost always map out my master game board and any potential splits on the first page where the rules are listed, and then have to constantly flip back and forth between pages in order to remember what is being asked/the answer choices and look at my boards. This takes a ton of time and potentially leads to mistakes. Alternatively I could copy over all of my boards on the other pages, but I can't see this being any quicker.

Has anyone come up with a practical way to deal with this?

I just my 7th timed LSAT and received my highest score to date. I got a 159 timed and a 174 for my blind review. My first practice test score was a 148 timed and a 169 blind review. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve the timed? I am just curious. I have been studying for the LSAT for a little less than a whole year, and I feel like my score will continue to improve dramatically! I just wanted to post this, because I was happy. By the way, thanks 7sage.

I just finished the Sufficient Assumption packet and I felt very lost and without control of the strategy. I did great on the video lessons, but this was just not good. I took me 25 minutes to finish 10 Questions. Manly because two questions drained 5 minutes! I got 6/10. That was terrible. Can you please provide some advice! I want to know this type of questions to perfection!

Of course you are. You're about to take an important test. It's not the most important test though. That one you will be taking in December.

Just kidding. Most likely, this is the last LSAT you'll ever take. I'm only trying to remind you that for something as important as this, there are second chances. That's definitely not true for a lot of other important things in life, so that's something to feel good about.

For most of you, you already know what score you'll get. Take your past three recent (i.e., 59-69) properly administered LSAT Prep Tests and average your score. You'll get plus or minus 3 points of that average.

You are as prepared as you can be and there is nothing standing between you and that score. You've already seen everything they'll throw at you and you've amply demonstrated your ability to respond. Saturday will not be new day and the October 2013 LSAT will not be a new LSAT. It will only be "LSAT Prep Test 70" which will be just like PT 69 and PT 68 and PT 67 and so on.

For Saturday, there's only one thing I want you to remember: keep moving.

You will encounter curve breaker questions. Every LSAT has them. Every student who has ever taken the LSAT before you has encountered them. You will too. I'm telling you this now, so you'll be prepared. Skip those difficult questions. Don't let a couple questions break your rhythm.

Just keep moving.

You got this.
