I'm using the PT grader at this website and find it useful. I sometimes take only a section or retake PTs to drill.
Can it be used to grade only a section of PT or retakes of a PT? thanks.

When I take PTs, I tend to lose concentration after first 2 sections, or sometimes just right after few questions on the 1st section. I found myself keep reading the premise over and over without actually understanding it. Or my mind wonders restlessly. I have never considered myself someone who has a concentration problem, but I do these days. As an international student whose dominant language is not English, I have to focus 100% on the test in order to understand, but these days, I am finding it so hard to do so, and it is extremely frustrating and stressful. Is there any one who is experiencing or experienced same thing or anyone who can help me resolve this? Thank you in advance.
Hey all,
I have signed up for the december lsat but I'm not sure if I should reschedule it. I have been scoring very low on my PT. I am scoring in the low 140s. Would it be a miracle to score in the mid 150s by december? Should I reschedule for a later date? Any comments or suggestions on this
I have fallen behind in my study schedule. This weak I did not study as much as I had to. Debating wether to take a PT this Saturday or not. I am 60% done with 7sage class. Current score is 154 blind review(LR only) 158. Taking the December LSAT.
My June LSAT was right on the median for the schools I want to get into but my GPA is pretty low so I wanted to do the October LSAT to increase my chances. A week before the October LSAT I found out I qualify for the 'mature' category for many of the law schools I was applying to which would put my June score from the median to significantly better than the suggested median and my GPA right where it should be. In essence, there was no real need to write the October LSAT. But since it was too late to get a refund, I had studied for months already, I didn't think my score would go down since all but 1 of the 15 PT's I had done since June had been higher than my June score, and the schools I was applying to use the highest score, I figured, what the heck let's just do the October LSAT. Turns out that wasn't the best idea as I'm pretty sure I did worse than my June score.
I completely messed up LG, which is normally my best section, and all the other sections seemed harder for me than usual. I didn't cancel my score because all the law schools I'm applying to say they are taking my highest score but now I'm thinking it will look bad even if they don't officially count it. My question is, how bad will it actually look? The law schools I'm applying to are in Ontario Canada if that makes a difference . . .
Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble with the LR sections. I can't seem to get a proper hold of when to diagram or when not to, and it usually ends with me taking the trap answers.
I've walked through the 7sage LR guides, but I am not quite sure how to tackle these problems effectively. Does 7sage or does anyone know a drill or another place where I could look.
Thanks in advance.
Politics aside, this is a fun read to warm up for logical flaw description questions. "A CONSERVATIVE GUIDE TO RHETORIC" http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/shouts/2013/10/conservative-guide-to-rhetoric-republican-quotations.html
Hey people,
Wanted to get some advice on whether or not it's helpful to re-do the PTs that you have already done once...?
It obv cannot accurately measure what you are scoring, but it must be helpful in some way?
Any advice / feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you,

JY this is awesome! Thank you for making it.
I just downloaded it today and used it for the first time. You guys should try it :D
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone was interested in a Study Buddy in the East Coast (Skype/Google hangouts fine) stuyding for the Dec.2013 exam? I'm in the Philly region and was going to try to do the PT50s this month and the 60s next month -- and looking for people who were willing to discuss questions missed on the weekdays say 9pm-11pm EST, weekends whenever. I'm thinking of doing PT 51 on Thursday.
Thanks
I feel like I spend too much time on a section when I'm reviewing and just wanted to know what the high scorers are doing.Please help :(
Hello!
I noticed there aren't very many discussions about that answers to older tests from the late 90s, like from prep tests 19-28. I was using these older ones to practice and saving the more recent ones to use as dress rehearsals for the big day under actual testing conditions.
Is this actually a good strategy, or are these tests so old that I can't rely on them any more? I realize they don't have comparative reading, but other than that, are the games and LR sections still good sources of practice?
Thank you!
Hi I'm looking for a study buddy maybe someone that goes to Florida Atlantic University. I'm good at games and reading comprehension just need help with lr. If your struggling with games or the reading comp I can help you and vice versa. If interested just inbox me thanks.
I want to get started on my applications although I am still studying for the December 2013 LSAT. I hope that someone here can answer my question because I have seen such helpful, nice responses to other questions.
I already took the LSAT once last year and did poorly, and I will be taking it again in December. As we all know it's better to submit earlier rather than later. When should I submit applications? Should I do it ASAP even before December scores come out in January, say in December? But I'm worried that schools will overlook the part where I check off to wait for a pending score, because I have heard of people who were rejected right off the bat because the school did not wait for the later score. Or should I submit right when the score comes out? I already have my transcript and CAS in, which helps.
I feel like this must be a common situation for many people, yet I get conflicting answers from everyone! Thanks so much for any insight.
I need a bit of help on this one, I am currently working on my MBA and studying for the December LSAT (a bit obvious but I thought I would just make it clear). I am enrolled in the Basic class and considering the Ultimate one, however given that I have less than two months would this make sense? I do not work AT ALL, I am just preparing for the LSAT and working on my MBA. I can devote the full 40+ hours per week to the LSAT if necessary. I could take the Premium but I really want to be as prepared as possible. This is my second and (better be) last attempt. I don't want to waste the money if I won't see enough of a return, however that being said even a few points of difference can make or break an application. Thoughts?
Hello,
I've just realised that when I first wrote the LSAT (June 2012), I took PT52 to PT60 to "prepare." This was before I discovered 7sage and I used the "betting method" to check over my answers.
Do you think it will be a disadvantage, if I redo the tests? I have the Premium version of the course, so there are some test that I have never seen before, though there aren't a LOT of new ones... and I did them over a year ago. I have a good memory, but it's not that good, lol.
Thoughts?
Just curious.
Looking for a study buddy who is currently aiming for 175+ for the Deccember LSAT.
Time for meetings will be open for discussion.
3 Practice Tests a week with an in-depth review.
A mixture of PowerScore, Manhattan, and 7sage methods will be used, but its not necessary for one to be familiar with any of the above cited methods as long as that person has learned the basics from 7sage.
Anyone is free to join the group, however, the lower your current score is, the more hours you will need to study in order to keep up with the group.
Those interested in joining, please leave your e-mail below for further information about the group to be e-mailed to you.
edit
(Or anything that comes close? I'm basically looking for the best strategy to study for RC and LR, since I know I will be using the foolproof method to master LG).
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance and I hope this helps other people as well. (I watched J.Y.'s video, but I would like to see more strategies that work).
Hi all,
I am strongly considering canceling my Oct LSAT. I feel that I performed no where near my full potential and only took the studying seriously during the last month and a half leading up to the test. I took 18 full PTs and came across this site 2 weeks before the test.
Would you recommend enrolling in one of these courses to prep? Do I have enough time?
Anyone willing to share their experiences/success stories or otherwise, as a December retaker?
Thanks!
Does it impact negatively ..whats worst score cancellation or bad score on profile ?
For someone who has finished the 7sage lessons and is about to start the PTs, what would be a good weekly study schedule? I recognize that taking as many PTs, BR-ing them and training yourself under the time constraint is key to doing well. I have read some posts where people say average 2 PTs per week with a break in between. Let's say I am preparing for the December LSAT. I also work full time. Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Of course you are. You're about to take an important test. It's not the most important test though. That one you will be taking in December.
Just kidding. Most likely, this is the last LSAT you'll ever take. I'm only trying to remind you that for something as important as this, there are second chances. That's definitely not true for a lot of other important things in life, so that's something to feel good about.
For most of you, you already know what score you'll get. Take your past three recent (i.e., 59-69) properly administered LSAT Prep Tests and average your score. You'll get plus or minus 3 points of that average.
You are as prepared as you can be and there is nothing standing between you and that score. You've already seen everything they'll throw at you and you've amply demonstrated your ability to respond. Saturday will not be new day and the October 2013 LSAT will not be a new LSAT. It will only be "LSAT Prep Test 70" which will be just like PT 69 and PT 68 and PT 67 and so on.
For Saturday, there's only one thing I want you to remember: keep moving.
You will encounter curve breaker questions. Every LSAT has them. Every student who has ever taken the LSAT before you has encountered them. You will too. I'm telling you this now, so you'll be prepared. Skip those difficult questions. Don't let a couple questions break your rhythm.
Just keep moving.
You got this.
