Just took a practice test and proceeded to the Blind Review after.
How representative is the score of the Blind Review to my overall success of taking that PT? Should I expect growth to that score?
I suppose this would take a little bit of insider information, but I have received several fee waivers recently from good schools and their site states they won't send fee waivers until they have your lsat? Probably coincidence but would be interested if anybody had any insight.
Hi there! I am from the Milwaukee area and plan to take the LSAT in April. I was wondering if anyone in the area wanted to meet in-person to become study buddies so we can teach and learn from each other!
Are there any 7Sage, Reddit or other discussions/tutorials/lessons about translating English to Lawgic?
The Lawgic lessons were so easy for me to grasp. Super easy. Then I watch some LR videos where YC transfers English to Lawgic and it doesn’t click what so ever. On super simple LR questions in the CC I would find the correct answer by simply thinking about the words and what I need to do. I then try to transfer it into Lawgic and my markings are not similar to YC’s. When YC chains multiple things it doesn’t click why a sufficient on one would be the necessary on another.
I’ve noticed many comments in the CC of people also having hard time with common threads of “when do I use Lawgic?” As well as plenty of people that totally dismiss Lawgic except in the hardest of LR questions so it seems I am not alone.
When do you use Lawgic in LR?
Do you consistently transfer English to Lawgic when you do?
Are there any resources you recommend?
Or is this simply experience with trial and error?
I can see a significant benefit by translating English to Lawgic but only if it is consistently accurate.
Was there a separate session on embedded conditional reasoning?
What does 1 on 1 tutoring do for one's score/test strategy? At what point and how would one decide its worth the expense?
Hi, everyone! Could I know if anyone heard back from Michigan for ED 2? I saw some people already got their offers for ED 2 on Reddit, which makes me really anxious and start to worry if they send offers earlier by patches and rejections on Jan.15th together...
Hi all,
So I am in AmeriCorps, and because of the structure of my program I get the opportunity to do a LOT of volunteer work. And when I say a lot, I mean volunteering for single events for around 10 different organizations. How should I put this in my resume? Should I leave out the more insignificant stuff, or just write something like "Volunteer for X, X, X, X, X, X..."
I've been doing some drills to understand my LR process better because I feel like some questions make me incredibly and irrecoverably slow but when I look at them again, I see the point real quick. So my question here is, if any of you have tried this, how long do you take per average on easy/medium questions vs how long do you take per average on hard/hardest question. Or, do you take longer on a particular Q.type?
I was trying to send out transcripts and have received an error. Anyone else have the same issues?
7Sage Website Gods,
I love being able to take the PT1-35 LG sections timed and then easily check answers after BRing them by clicking on Resources > Logic Game Explanations.
I would love to be able to do the same thing as I work on LR sections from those same tests. I have the questions already, but to find answers, I have to "score" a PT for the relevant test, then find the question explanation links, then afterwards delete the "scored" PT from my history so it doesn't throw off my analytics.
Any chance you could add a page that would only be visible based on your membership level, and that is formatted like the LG Explanations page, but for LR questions?
If such a resource already exists, or there is an easier way than my current solution, and I just haven't found it, could you point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,
-Joe

BR GROUP NOTES:
I am writing the exam in July and September. Based on my diagnostics, I am pretty average in all sections and LG is not as intuitive for me so I am currently foolproofing LG by type (as in drilling all games in PTs 1-9, 10-19..20-29 in order*). I am on week 2 of this studying regimen. I plan to transition to foolproofing PT section by PT section and then doing timed sections after registering and reinforcing inferences for each game type. I am currently doing 2 PTs worth every day but finding this to be difficult since I am averaging 5 Games past target time and/or not at 100% accuracy.
*- I am drilling like this:10 Seq, 5 In-Out, 8 Grouping etc. some of the miscellaneous games turned out to be the other general games in disguise that I previously foolproof but others are just super old LSAT games that may show up on recent LSATs in some form (give or take 5-7 games that I am not doing for every 9 games so far).
What I'm doing:
LG by Type X-X
Attempt Game
1st attempt Under Time and 100% accurate: Do game a month from now
If not, do it again that day, and then at the end of the week
2nd attempt Under Time and 100% Accurate same day: do game at the end of the week
2nd attempt NOT Under Time and/or 100% Accurate same day: watch JY's video, do that game same day, then repeat that game on the weekend
Weekend Day 1: 1st Attempt Under Time and 100% accurate: Review game 2 weeks later
Weekend Day 1: 1st Attempt NOT Under Time and 100% accurate: Watch video and do game again, and do it again next day of weekend
Weekend Day 2: 1st Attempt Under Time and 100% accurate: Review game 1 week later
Weekend Day 2: 1st Attempt NOT Under Time and 100% accurate: Do Game 2X the following week
So based on this information...
How many games per day would make my review optimal (currently doing about 8 right now, but slowing down)?
Any suggestions and/or tips for full-time studying in general?
I am taking the July exam but aiming to be most prepared for the September exam. I have the most potential to improve on LG games so I am foolproofing these until the July exam with maybe some LR and RC practice beforehand.
Hello,
I am looking for notes/comprehensive summary of the logical reasoning section for each question category. I would really appreciate if you message me your notes on the course.
Thank you so much!!!
Anyone want to share the timing sheets used for video footage? There is one with the live footage for PT 81 but I would love to get a fresh blank one for myself. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the info.

The biggest surprise was the small size of the desktop. Otherwise a great facility.
Proctors: Two were very cordial and professional, stuck with the LSAC script which was fine. Monitored students but not distracting.
Facilities: College building, vending machines in the lobby
What kind of room: classroom
How many in the room: 25 students in a room with 35 desks
Desks: individual desks, tiny desk top, not enough room for booklet without hanging off the edge, challenge for RC and LG to see. LR just folded booklet so one page visible.
Left-handed accommodation: a few lefty desks
Noise levels: quiet
Parking: ample campus parking close by
Time elapsed from arrival to test: no wasted time, very prompt
Irregularities or mishaps: none
Other comments: none
Would you take the test here again? Yes
Date[s] of Exam[s]: September 9 2018
Is anyone near Savannah, GA or Hilton Head Island, SC studying for the September or December LSAT? I'm hoping to find someone to prep with.
Hey guys so some schools ask directly if you have been terminated or dismissed from a place of employment as one of the C & F questions.
I've attached an addendum explaining my case for that question.
For some schools, though, they don't directly ask employment termination questions. Do I just leave it out?
Or put it under C & F question pertaining to "Academic dismissal, probation, termination from college, university, post secondary institution"? Even though mine was an actual job and not a school or college.
Thanks all.
I hit a wall early in my prep. I logged every wrong answer religiously in the notes section. But after a month, I realized I wasn't learning; I was just hoarding my failures in a list I never wanted to look at again.
I was spending hours managing data when I should have been fixing the underlying logic flaws and rewiring my old ways of thinking. I realized that re-reading the same question wasn't helping—I was just remembering the answer, not learning the rule.
The inefficiency was driving me crazy. About 70% of my journal was stuff I had already learned from, but it was buried in with the difficult concepts I still needed to work on. I was wasting an hour a day reviewing a massive wall of text just to find the few questions that actually mattered.
I eventually built a tool to fix the workflow. It filters out what I already know and uses AI to verify I actually know the pattern of the difficult ones by generating new variations. If I got it right, it schedules review for longer. If I get it wrong, it shortens the review period so I can focus on the questions that trip me up most. I went from a 157 to a 173 in a few months, and I really think it's because I used this as a "hyper efficient" wrong answer journal to find the signal in the noise.
Does anyone else have a good system for "pruning" their wrong answer journal? Or do you just let the list grow forever, or skip out on using it entirely?
Hi Everyone!
I am looking for a group of people to study with in the Seattle area. Anyone who is taking the LSAT relatively soon (Nov or Jan '18) and is willing to meet in person would be awesome! Just looking for some people to motivate each other, work through BR, and anything else. Email me at [removed by admin] if you're interested. Thanks!

Hi, is there any way to download practice test score reports with the new 7sage? I believe the classic 7sage allowed this but I'm not seeing the option to do so with the new one. Thank you.
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!
I dont know how to get faster. I've been doing RC practice for so long and I cant get faster. I easily do LG and LR on time but not RC, any tips on how to get faster that you did that worked for you? Skipping words made me do worse.
