Hi,

I was wondering if any one had any suggestions or advice on when I should start worrying about RC timing. I have been doing practice passages for about two weeks and am still having a hard time with staying under the time limits of the memory method, however i am very accurate. Any suggestions on how I can improve?

I'm reviewing RC heavy, and I got stuck on this question, specifically answer choice A (I'm using the Pithypike plan, where I'm doing RC untimed in the 1st month). Now for my own written explanation to myself, I stated A was wrong because the author wanted ALL groups of professionals to be viewed from a new perspective. However, the Kaplan answer choices stated A was wrong because the author wanted physicians to be viewed from the current perspective, and not a new one.

I'm confused, as in the text, the author states that some believe....xyz about physician, and that is _____. He then goes on to criticize and correct/amend their views. Is that not trying to promote a new perspective on the work of physicians? Or am I misinterpreting this? Please clarify this if you can! Thanks!

Do you guys ever wonder about the people writing the lsat? My image of them is that they sit around a big wooden table and think and every once in awhile someone will say, "Hey, get a load of this one," and they laugh and say, "Yeah, that'll throw 'em, let's do it."

Hi,

I'm not using any of these test prep books because of what I've read on law school forums about how they're not very helpful and not "actual" LSAT questions. But I'm just curious to know, what makes them unhelpful? Is the making of an LSAT question so complex that it's just impossible to replicate unless you are an LSAT test writer?

I'm surprised that no one has asked this.

Mr. Ping seems to be someone that just "gets" it from the very beginning. Maybe he wasn't superb at Logic Games when he started prepping, but would it be a fair for me to make the assumption that his LR and RC skills were already at a high level?

Now that I've bought the course and listened to dozens of his videos to the point where I hear his voice when doing LSAT questions (especially LG), I now suspect that Mr. Ping is a LSAT "natural".

What was your cold diagnostic score, Mr. Ping?

Hi guys!

During my practice tests I have noticed that when I have 6-7 minutes left (Around Q21) in the LR section I start to lose focus and having to reread the question stem for stressing over not finishing the questions on time, even though I know its possible for me to do so. Do you have any advice or specific technique you use?

I have a question about the memory method.

I have arrived at PT 52 and now have comparative passages on my PTs.

I know the memory method suggests pausing after each paragraph to absorb and rethink about what you just read, and then run through each paragraph again once you finish reading the passages before you start the questions.

But what about the comparative passages? After I read passage A, should I run through passage A paragraph by paragraph before reading passage B? Or should I read passage A, then read passage B, and then remind myself of the paragraph contents of both passage A and passage B? Which does the memory method suggest I do?

Hi all,

I am looking to form a small group of people interested in taking at least one practice test a week until the upcoming LSAT under actual conditions. I already have a few people involved but would love to get a few more on board. Not sure on exactly where we will meet up but we can decide that as a group. Hope to hear from some of you!

Best Regards and good luck

If 7 sage came out with a T shirt , i'd buy it. Just sayn.

Ok, I just finished PT 68 with a 166. I found the Logic Games to be remarkably easy and I've heard people say that the LG's have been getting easier. I haven't taken 68-72 yet, but I am curious as to whether or not this a characteristic of the newer tests. What do y'all think?

Hi admin, et al...

I have noticed a 5 point difference between my scores from older test vs. more recent (30s vs 60s), with the lower scores being the most recent. Are the newer tests simply more challenging than those from ten years ago? Should I really only be basing my potential score estimates on newer tests? Should I save those recent tests for last? Anyone else notice this same effect?

I just want to make sure that my increase in score is not an artifact of the test difficulty itself.

Thanks!

In recent practice tests I have experienced some difficulty with consistency in Reading Comprehension. In some respects this section is a "wild card" of sorts for me in the sense that I had scored as well as only -3 in the section but will sometimes get as many as 8 questions incorrect. However, most times the majority of my incorrect answers come from the last passage that I do not get to fully engage. Has anyone had a similiar experience, and or have any suggestions for solving this issue?

Is RC similar to LG and LR in regards to the more sections you do it the more you will notice similar questions and therefore be better prepared to answer. I am struggling with this section

Can someone explain why answer A is incorrect I really can't understand.

Thanks

Okay. So, this may sound stupid, but I THOUGHT that I was only able to take the September LSAT, so I've been studying since June & have stressed about it constantly. I must have misheard or misunderstood something, but it turns out that I can take the DECEMBER LSAT and still am able to apply for Law School that following September. Which is great - it gives me an extra 3.5 months to study.

I'm considering taking the beginner package on this website. Right now I score between 152-155 on the practice tests I've taken, and I am registered for a 30 hour LSAT course in late September, but I want to do something more. I'm thinking that studying on my own can only get me so far.

So I'm wondering - do you guys recommend taking the prep through 7Sage? From everything I've seen, I would say it would be worth it, but I'm having qualms about it. Specifically, I think I study best with paper, pencil, and a book, but I've already been through two prep books, and my mark isn't budging much. Do you guys find using the website to be effective? Has it improved your mark?

Thanks a lot!

I suppose this is more of an aesthetic problem, but on the main page, and also the analytics pages, I often find that the radio buttons are blocking my most recent scores. Specifically, on the home page, the Section "LSAT Analytics" graph has the top right corner blocked by a layer that says "Scaled, Raw, Percentile." Everything is still functional, but it is an annoyance. If that box were moved, or were a dropdown menu instead, that'd fix it.

I know there is no way to predict this, but... anybody with a hunch that this is happening in the next September 27th LSAT?

September retaker here - my average was in the mid 160s (Feb. 2014, studied by taking all PTs 40 onward, doing the 7Sage Logical Reasoning curriculum, and looking at 7Sage Logic Game explanations) and I'm hoping to break 170 this coming fall!

I'm looking for a study buddy in the Madison area who would be interested in meeting up about once a week for 1-2 hours to talk over pesky questions that keep bothering us even after we pore over them. I had a study buddy in Houston for the Feb. test, and it worked out wonderfully between us - we turned out to be great resources for each other throughout the studying process. I'm hoping to find a great study buddy here in Madison as well!

Anyway, please message me if you're at all interested; I'd love to hear about your progress and would be more than happy to do a number exchange!

JY mentioned that he would go over the difference "later," but I couldn't find it...

Does anyone know where this lesson is, and/or can explain the difference to me?

Thanks!

Would it be possible to include the "starring" feature of the video lessons onto the video explanations for the PTs? That way, users could also filter their "starred" video explanations and review them rather than going through each PT and finding the question. If 7Sage could implement this, I think it would be a lot better. If other 7Sagers agree, please like and comment on this discussion post!

Will practicing the other Games aid in doing well in those random MISC Logic Games? Is there a technique to approaching them? I think it is the initial shock factor that stumps me.

7Sage categorized missed questions on all of the PT's the way that Quizlet categorizes 'missed questions'.

I made a spreadsheet to count the number of missed question types on each PT. It is sort of a hassle to jump back and forth between explanations, answers, papers, and the spreadsheet... but it has helped me recognize which topics I need to review more extensively. I would name my first child 'J.Y.' if 7Sage added something like this.

if i "like" a comment, is that solely for Karma or can i search for those likes to review later?

thanks~

Getting started for September test, and would definitely want to meet up a few times over the summer before September 27th.

I work on the Hill but also commute out to Annapolis and Bethesda area, if anyone else is preparing and wants to meet up.
