I saw earlier where someone mentioned whether they should skip around sections on the syllabus or stick it straight through and was looking for opinions on this. I have gotten about 30% in and feel myself getting frustrated. Not with actual content or understanding, but I think with just knowing that I know once this LR section is done there will be another and another. To combat this I have just begun to work on the reading comp section to shake things up a bit. I can't see any issues with doing so, but was wondering if anyone else has tried section hopping versus working straight through the syllabus.

I don't plan on just picking any old random lessons; it's more like, "Last week I worked on all LR, maybe this week I'll work on RC instead."

Thoughts and experiences? Thank you!

Hi,

My name is Michelle aiming to take both Feb and June. My ultimate goal is June so I would prefer having someone to stay with me and motivate each other all the way until June; but anyone is welcome!

I have gone through Bibles and Manhattan strategies and would like to practice PTs and share opinions with study partner/group.

I would like to meet in person if you are located around Los Angeles, CA or I would like to connect through Email, Skype, Phone etc. I am very committed and anyone who is willing to stay motivated please contact me – michellemoon0708@gmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Michelle

I am awesome at this portion of the test and usually score really well, but for some reason cannot understand why the correct answer choice on this question is what it is.

The argument is #6 of Section 2 of Prep Test 23. They discuss prehistoric chimpanzee species, tool use and humans. I won't type the argument out unless y'all need me to, but was wondering if anyone could help explain why the correct answer is C over D.

So far my timed practice test are not up to my expectations. I'm reviewing my tests and maintaining a positive attitude but I just want to hit my target score of a 160 soon, i feel like it would help my confidence a lot. My highest has been a 157 but my other 3 tests are all in the low 150 range. Is their something I'm doing wrong? Is there anything I could do to improve things? It seems like so far I get a test where I completely don't understand one LG game or or I run out of time on my last reading comp passage. Today on prep test 40 both occurred resulting in a 151 good grief! ( Charlie Brown voice). I'm preparing for the June test

I took the Dec. 2013 LSAT at a certain test location and I really didnt like the test location (tiny fold up desk, one bathroom per floor with only 2 stalls, testing locations was separated into d completely different bldgs according to last names and noisy vent). I signed up for the Feb. test for a retake but thinking of changing the location though it was the closest to my home. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me details (what kind of desk, how the proctors were) for CUNY Law and LaGuardia Community college. Thanking you in advance.

Hey all,

Just signed up with J.Y. and was wondering what my rhythm should be as far as covering the chapters and the amount of hours I need to put in. I wanted to take it in Feb but probably June now. I notice that when I follow the "syllabus", it starts with Welcome to Sage and all the subs (features, how to study for Lsat) and then a Lsat prep test from June of 2007 with the answers and all and then intro to arguments and so on. Do I just start from the top and go down the list if I'm just starting? or is there a correct order to learn the chapters and sub chapters? Also regarding the 2007 exam in the beginning, should I be taking that exam to see where I'm at, or how does that work, more than remotely confused about this. Anything helps,Thank you.

Hi!

I took the December LSAT and I'm retaking it in Feb but I've gone through most of the practice tests already (all the recent ones for sure). To study for the Feb LSAT, should I retake the recent PT's that I already took when studying for the December LSAT? Or should I take the older PT's that I haven't taken but aren't as up to date?

Thanks for the help!

Studying Suggestions

Hi Everyone:

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to spend the next month studying for the Feb LSAT. I work full time and want to make sure that I am using the time I have wisely. And any suggestions on how to improve my test score?

Re-Learning the 7Sage way.

It seems a high percentage of people I have talked to on 7sage have at least some experience with another LSAT prep company. Has anyone that had taken had any other LSAT prep class had any issues "re-learning" using 7sage methodology? I initially had trouble especially with games, but for the most part had gotten use to the new way.

February Re-Take

Hey guys,

I took the LSAT in December, but was not happy with my score. I've done much better on previous PTs.

I was wondering if anyone out there was or is in a similar situation. How should I approach this next month? Should I revisit some of the main concepts and then redo some of the PTs?

Thanks in advance everyone.

In addition to the horrible weather in the Northeast, I received a horrible score last night. The last two weeks before the test, I was scoring 159-161. But on the real test I got a 151. I need to analyze what really went wrong, but I missed about 15 questions on the RC ( I had 2 and the Section 5 was the one that was counted). Should I take the Feb. LSAT so I can apply for this cycle? Did anyone else score significantly lower on the real thing than what they were scoring in weeks prior to the test?

Any advice/comments would help. Thank you.

It seems to be a trend to unsubscribe from this sub after getting your score. I'm going to be staying here to help people out and answer questions regarding the LSAT.

A little about my journey. I had originally planned for the June 2013 LSAT but changed it to October after PT'ing a 148 2 weeks prior. After reading every Powerscore book, I was able to bump up to a 153-4 but that wasn't what I was aiming for. I was aiming for something in the 160's. I thought I had plateaued because every score from PT 30-45 was in that range. It was frustrating.

I then decided to reschedule once more to December. It was do or die for me. I was recommended 7Sage, and will recommend it to anyone, especially if you're doing Powerscore as well. I was able to score in the 160's 3 weeks before the December 7th for the first time. To make sure it wasn't a "kag" I kept taking PT's. Ended up staying in the low 160's for all of them. I was satisfied and confident as I walked into test day.

Just got my score a few hours ago, and am extremely proud to say that I scored in the 160's, which is what I was aiming for. I ended up getting -0 on the LG section, my first section of the exam.

Wanted to give a huge thanks to 7Sage & the community. You guys answered a bunch of things I was curious about considering the test. Sure I didn't get in the 170's, but I did improve drastically from my PT in before the June exam. (Even more from my diagnostic which was a 139)

TL;DR Don't lose hope if you're a future test taker. Improvement is possible with dedication and hard work. Don't listen to anyone that says a 20 point improvement from your diagnostic is impossible because that's BS.

Second Chance

Ex-Blueprint Prep student here. I received my test this morning. I did a lot worse than I was planning on a logical reasoning section and about my usual on the others. I'll admit that there were some weekends when I should have been studying but I was out partying instead, but overall I felt like I was ready to get around a 162 on the test. My practice tests reflected this. I don't know if it was the stress of actual test day, that my timer was a minute or two off, or whatever, but I feel awful about my score because I feel like I failed myself. I plan on taking it again in June and am willing to take the test even more seriously this time. I know, I know. I shouldn't be naive, but I'm totally psyched about killing the test come June. Can 7sage help with this or should I look elsewhere for the next six months? Thanks and sorry for the novel of a post.

JY,

Happy New Year!! Hope the Holidays went well. The 7sage learning experience has been excellent. I was wondering if you were developing a flash card feature to help review and reinforce some concepts on the 7 sage phone app. I think it would be very helpful when commuting on a train or when you have some downtime to quickly review information. Just wanted to see if anything like this was in the works.

Sincerely,

I was scheduled for the december test but it was pushed to February. My entire group that I usually review with took the December test, so I'm looking for a few people to review PTs with. We usually reviewed via google hangout or skype.

Scheduling:

Most likely PTing some 30s, some 40s, 52-71. I'm open to changing around the schedule to different material. I just really want someone committed to staying on track and keeping a schedule.

Stats:

Highest pt 155; mainly low bc of RC.

-0 to -2 LG. -10 to -8 LR. RC is terrible.

I'm hoping to find someone that really wants to pt and review every other day with one day off a week. If anyone is interested please let me know.

Hi,

I am currently attending University of Chicago for a one year MA and plan on applying for law school next year. My goal is taking the october Lsat. My Lsat study has been on and off. I did study a bit for the test and got 155 on a diagnostic, but then I decided to go to grad school so i shifted my focus to GRE. I started it over since summer and have been working on logic game and LR. I am current working on logic game by type (Cambridge's categorization) and assumption family questions. Skype is preferable but if you live in Chicago or even go to UC or near UC we can meet in person. My email is cnguye15@gmail.com. Thanks

STUDY BUDDY IN SOUTH OC, CA

Hi,

I am looking for a focused study buddy who wants to improve on LR. I would like to do individual questions and/or sections and discuss answers: why 1 right, why 4 wrong. I consistently miss 5-6 LR questions. I also need to improve my LR speed. I am good with LG and RC and can offer support in those areas if needed. I am taking the Feb exam.

Please email me (pitrufquen5@gmail.com) to see if there is a fit or post a reply in the forum and I will contact you.

Thanks and good luck to those taking the Dec LSAT!
