I'm repeatedly screwing up while transferring my choices to my answer sheet. It's driving me nuts. On my last practice test there were two questions where I had the right answer marked in the test book but the wrong answer on the answer sheet.

The first one I have no explanation for. I clearly circled E in the book but C on the answer sheet. The second one makes a little more sense because I changed the answer in the book but forgot to update the answer sheet.

I'm sitting here like an ass watching videos to figure out how I got these questions wrong only to realize I already had the correct answer. This could be a free 1-2 points on my test. Any advice on how to stop messing up?

So JY always predicts a assumption that closes the gap between the premises and conclusion, and its magically in the answer choices. For those of us who don't have this ability... WHAT DO WE DO. I honestly know there is an assumption that is being made, should I just use that thought alone to approach the answer choices or should I really try to pre-phrase an answer or something. It is just very discouraging to not even get the assumption correct because how do you expect to get the answer right.

Any responses or your own thoughts on how to approach weakening/strengthening would really help!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to improve my accuracy by doing timed sections for both the Logic Games and Logical Reasoning but because I'm still practicing, I'd like to reserve the "newer" LSATs for when I'm doing FULL timed practice tests.

I've been practising with the older Logic Games bundle posted on 7sage (with some new ones mixed in since I understand that the games have changed slightly over the years) but was wondering if anyone knew of a similar bundle I could purchase or download for Logical Reasoning?

Thanks a bunch. Happy studying!!

How To study!

Hi all,

Aidin Again, I have been studying LSAT using 7sage for few months now and I have noticed many comments regarding HOW to use this website. Do you take notes when the lessons are being taught? Which pages should you print out and which ones just go over on the screen? What information between hundreds of hours of video is note worthy? How do you access the big picture spider web looking master chart J.Y. always pulls out that no one gets access to ? If anybody has a good idea about what is the most effective way to use all this useful material to our advantage without being confused please SHARE!

Memorizing Inferences

I've been practicing games according to the 7sage method for a a few weeks now. I easily do the games in or under the suggested time after about 3-4 tries. However, I am still too slow whenever I start a completely new game. Usually a new game takes me about 10-15 minutes, so on PTs I rarely complete more than 2 games. This is a slight improvement. Before I practiced this way my times were a little higher.

My question is what exactly is meant by "memorize the inferences" "or reproduce the inferences from memory"? That may seem like a silly question, but I'm asking because I'm not sure I'm using the method correctly. Like I said I can complete games quickly after 3-4 tries because I make the inferences much more quickly, but I'm not sure I actually have them "memorized". It doesn't seem like this practice is helping me make inferences much faster on new games. So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. When you "reproduce the inferences from memory" do you just do the game again and again or do you write the inferences down first to ensure you have them memorized? I want to make sure my practice will translate into faster times on new games as well.

Hi all,

I'm looking for one or more study buddies who are scoring in the 170s on PTs and trying to get from great to near-perfect. I'm mostly in the 173-176 range right now, and plan to start studying "full-time" tomorrow for the September test. My GPA wasn't stellar, so I'm looking for a 178+ on the day of reckoning.

I love, love, love the analytics tools here, especially the strength and weakness charts, and think it would be really helpful to talk through questions with others of similar aptitude. (Necessary assumption: Some people have strengths where I have weaknesses, and vice versa!)

Is anyone interested?

Thanks!

I can't understand why C is the right answer.

I mean if Stilgoe's case would have been stronger if he used these sources then would that it indicate that their view was more negative towards the railroad then the other writers?

Based on this reason, that's why I chose E, but it turns out E is wrong.

I'm stuck in this question.

Can anyone tell me how C is right and E can't be an answer?

Thanks!

I chose D as an answer based on the whole passage (It talks about literary techniques, right?), but the right answer is A. I couldn't find which part of the passage makes A is a right answer.

I have no idea why D is wrong and A is the right answer.

Can anyone explain me?

Thanks!

Blind Review

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

What is the correct training process for utilizing a BR? After, I have completed all 4 sections of my PT or after I have completed a LR section...

Cordially,

Joe

I scored 166 in June after PTing around 171-175 and am aiming for 173 in September. I'm usually fairly even on a section-by-section basis so I am looking to improve in all areas. I emailed J.Y. asking for tips to improve on a retake and he suggested a study buddy, so comment or send me a message if you're interested!

Logic Games

Hey everyone! Im writing my first LSAT in September. I started with the Powerscore books but was recommended this program by a friend and it has helped me so much! I'm half way through the Powerscore logic games bible and I'm just starting the logic games section on 7sage. Should I continue reading the rest of the Powerscore or focus more on 7sage lessons? I've seen many positive remarks about 7sage's prep for logic games but any additional advice would be splendid!

Hi! I will be a junior at Penn State, University Park this year. I am taking the Feb 2015 LSAT. Any fellow 7sage users that would be willing to study with me this fall semester? I am going to aim to average at minimum a test a week. I want a 165+ and with a bad diagnostic score I have a long climb. So let me know if your interested! E-mail me at milipatel23@gmail.com

Hey everyone,

I am writing my LSAT for the second time, having written in June 2014. I studied for about 5 weeks and got a 149 on the June test. I am a 24 year old male and just graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish , Nova Scotia with a Chemistry Major (I know right).

Now that I have bench marked myself and have a good idea about the test. I am going to work through 7 sage's study schedule and write September. 27th.

If you are in the Hamilton, Ontario area or around there and looking for someone to meet up with every now and again. Whether to chat about test questions, some things that are you finding difficult or someone to write a test along side and then review together. Get at me!

Rec Letters

I currently have rec letters from a business law professor and an attorney who was my supervisor at an internship last summer. Would it be appropriate to have my mentor write one? Google doesn't offer much insight for this topic. My mentor has been extremely helpful to me this past year, and I feel she can speak highly of my abilities and qualities better than any other professor I've had. She just graduated law school in May.

I am wondering if any of you have any recommendations for daily or weekly activities, aside from LSAT specific studying, to help get in the LSAT state of mind. I know reading complex passages from certain publications is often recommended and some even recommend courses in logic. I do not plan on taking the LSAT for quite a while and would like to use all the resources I have at my disposal.

Lack of video explanations

Hey all. I am a couple weeks into my LSAT prep and I must say that I love 7Sage and am recommending it to all my future law school hopefuls. The videos are so helpful in allowing me to understand why one answer is correct and the other four are not. That being said, there are several video explanations missing in the MC/MP lesson sections for LR and I was wondering if JY or Jon were going to upload new ones. Thank the Good Lord that I got all the questions without video explanations correct...

Sound

I just signed up for 7sage Ultimate and began watching the videos. however, the sound doesn't work. Has anyone else had this problem? My sound works for all other websites.

I was wondering how many of those who are studying for the LSAT i.e. law school bound who have not been/are not active job seekers have a LinkedIn account.

I'm a college grad and I don't have an account. I thought I wouldn't derive much benefits from LinkedIn until I get to law school and deactivated my previous one since I didn't use it much.

Do you guys have a LinkedIn account? Should I get one again?
