Hey 7Sagers,

A user wrote in to studentservices@7sage.com with concerns about timing and I figured you'd be able to help. Here's the message:

I have registered for your course since April. I was going to take the LSAT test, but since English is my second language, It took more time to learn the materials that I thought. So, I couldn't finish the material of the course by September and had to reschedule my test for December. Hopefully, the remaining time helps me to master on the most part of the LSAT.

Although I have finished 71% of the course, I feel I need to review the materials again. When I take the test without timing, my score gets about 156- 160, but with timing I only can finish two parts of each section and of course my score is less than above.

Do you have any recommendation?

Thank You!

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if someone could give me a quick summary of when conditional rules trigger and when they become irrelevant in logic games...it still takes me a while to fully grasp the idea.

Hey 7Sagers! Another question was emailed to me that I think you could help with! Here it is:

I just took the LSAT on Sept. 27th, and unfortunately, I don't think I did as well as I would like. I have the GPA and Resume of a top 10 law school student, but my LSAT score is just not on the mark.

The reason I am e-mailing you is because I would like to know more about transferring law schools. I would love to attend a top 10 school (NYU, UC-Berkley, etc), but I feel my chances of acceptance are just too low. However, I have heard of students transferring into top 10 schools by succeeding their first year at a reputable law school with a high GPA and class rank.

Do you know if applying and being rejected from one of the above mentioned schools lessen my chances of being accepted as a transfer student? Is there a way to do this strategically (i.e. not apply to these top 10 schools but transfer) ?

Hi all,

I just tried registering for the LSAT and the site says that the testing center in my area is currently full and that I'll be wait listed for a spot. Has this happened to anyone else and what does it mean? I'm a bit confused because despite being wait listed, I'm still supposed to pay for the registration...?

HI! Okay. So. I was kind of wondering what everyone's improvement was like/if I'm on track.

Before I started with 7sage, I was probably sitting in the 140 ish mark, maybe even less than that. I started with 7sage, stopped doing the practice tests, and since I have taken 3.

The first one, I didn't blind review it. I got a 154.

The second one, I did blind review it. I got a 155 I believe.

I reviewed those concepts and went over the Logic Games section of that test since then (I wrote it on Monday).

I wrote one today. My mark before blind review was 157. Which is only 3 marks off... from the suggested LSAT mark to get into my University. Obviously I want to improve into the 160++ range.

If I keep on it, doing 2-3 exams a week, blind reviewing each one, practicing old Logic Games to reinforce concepts, is it possible to break that 160++ mark? Has anyone else had success?

I can't find the Logic Games Bundle anymore... Is it still on the site?

Quick question for the strongly supported questions. Is the right answer choice going to be considered the conclusion of the stimulus?

I took September LSAT but ended up cancelling the score.

I am 31 week into my pregnancy and my due date overlaps with December test, so instead of postponing the test, I decided to go ahead and take it for the experience of it.

I had about 3 months to prepare for the September test and the more I studied, the more I felt lost.

Also, with pregnancy and a full time job, I couldn't spend as much time studying as I wished.

My biggest issue is timing. English is my second language and even though I do not have comprehension problem, my reading speed is slow. (less than 240 word/min)

I believe this is something that I can train myself for the next few months.

I do want to make a better study plan this time since I have more time in my hand.

With 11 months to go, at which point should I sign up for 7 sage prep classes ( I am planing to sign up for the basic one)?

Even though I am planning to continue with my study after the delivery, I am expecting December and January will be really difficult to spare a lot of time on studying with the new born.

My only study materials in the past were Mike Kim's 'LSAT trainer' and Actual 10s.

I've used 7sage's LG videos for LG explanation and really liked it.

I do have most of the past prep tests. Do I need to buy any other books?

I have heard a lot of good things about Power Score Bibles. Is 7sage alone enough or will I benefit from more prep materials such as Power Score?

Any thoughts/ advice will be deeply appreciated.

Thank you!

There's been several posts about this, but I haven't found any consensus. I understand that we should attack the support relationship, but is it also proper to directly attack premises (assuming that they legitimately attack them and it's not an LSAT trap)? Does the same apply to conclusions? Is it just so uncommon that a well-grounded on either of them exists that it wouldn't be beneficial to examine questions in that mindset?

I completed the 7sage starter course to prepare for the September LSAT, but I'm pretty sure I'll be taking it again in December. In order to continue studying, I was considering upgrading to the Premium course. However, before making the purchase, can someone please tell me in more detail what the Premium course can additionally offer me? Specifically, I want to know which additional PTs with full explanation are offered. I was debating on upgrading vs buying a few of the latest PTs and just reviewing the lessons from the Starter course. Any thoughts/advice for preparing my study schedule as well as the pros/cons of just buying more PTs rather than upgrading would be immensely appreciated :)

Hey fellow 7sagers!

I'd love to hear some input regarding an issue that's been buggin' me for quite some time.

So I completed my undergraduate degree in May of this year. After graduation, I was accepted into a summer fellowship program which ended in August. Upon completion of the fellowship, I began studying full time for the December 2014 exam using 7sage and the LSAT Trainer. While I feel that I've certainly improved my skills since then, I'm considering to push back the test date to February 2015. My goal is to score a 170 or higher, and feel that spending more time to study will be necessary for me to achieve this.

However, one of my concerns regarding this is the effect it will have on my law school application and what law schools will think when they notice that I was unemployed from August 2014 until February 2015. I underestimated the difficulty of this exam and would prefer to study full time until February, but also I'm concerned whether a seven month gap of unemployment would significantly hurt my application.

Any sort of advice would be much appreciated. Would love to hear what others have to say.

Good luck ya'll!

Cheers,

Kunal

I am curious to see if there is any other active duty military on here. If so, I would like to stay in touch - perhaps build a community to share lessons learned in this journey.

I'm completely in a slump. I have done around 10 Pt's so far, and my highest score is a 153....but my blind review score keeps increasing, even to the point of 173 on my last PT. I'm set for the December LSAT, can I expect to break into the 160's? Or am I forever stuck in the 150s.. My goal is at least a 163 from now to the December LSAT which will allow me to get into the law schools of my choice.

As I've been taking practice tests, I've come across several LG rules that use "neither...nor" language as a conditional. For example: if X then neither Y nor Z. Should this be translated as "Y and Z" or "Y or Z". From my understanding, AND means both, and OR means one or the other or both. Can someone help me with this distinction?

Hey guys,

I know it's a bit early to ask but I was wondering if anyone knows when the September test will be available as a PT on 7sage?

Thanks!

All, when setting up your rules, does anyone advise to number those rules. Im not sure where i picked up the habit but I realized i was doing it.

Any thoughts on whether this is a good idea?

I'm retaking the lsat in December, and my 7sage course is going to run out next week. I'd love some outside opinions while weighing my choice of study-aides. Why I wouldn't upgrade: I already have all of the PTs the upgrades provide; I have problem sets (by question type) to work on; and I have explanations for every test, which granted aren't as thorough as JY's but are still helpful.

I need, at minimum, a 6 point improvement to reach my target. Is it worth it to upgrade to premium or ultimate? If I don't upgrade, I'll just buy a few tests to allow me to access the forum and basic syllabus for these next two months.

I took the September exam, and walked out of the test center confused and flustered. It was challenging, but I couldn't really tell you how I did on it. I was in the mid 150s before the test, and I thought maybe if I had luck on my side I could reach 160 on the real thing. However, I don't think I did, so I'm retaking it in December.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about how I can improve to the mid to late 160s before then. My strongest section is the LG, and my weakest is the LR. I'm tempted to start my prep from the beginning and re learn all the concepts and strategies necessary to do well. But that feels like a waste of valuable time.

Anyone have any suggestions about how to prepare for December?

Thanks!!

I doubt I will have time to take all the prep tests before my December LSAT. Does anyone have certain tests that they found particularly challenging that they recommend be taken for sure?

Does anyone have any general tips for improving speed? Aside from just taking a bunch of timed PTs, do you use any other methods?

I am looking for a study buddy to meet with once a week in the Boise, ID, area.

: )

Anyone having issues pulling up the videos since this morning ?
