How does everyone use live commentary? I just want to see if it is helpful and in which ways do others find it helpful.

I'm wondering if it is important to have a different approach for example science passages as opposed to a humanities passage...

Hi, does anyone know if we are able to see to see past drills we've completed? Thank you.

I couldn’t speak more highly of 7Sage. J.Y. got me through the LSAT in three months, scoring 172 my very first time! I honestly couldn’t recommend their services more. You guys truly have an outstanding and spectacular team!

Does anyone know what the difference is between the tags "grouping with sequencing" and "sequencing with grouping"?

thanks!

I'm getting late 160s to early 170s BR, but still stuck in late 150s to early 160s in real time.

Is anyone familiar with teaching students at this stage?

Or better yet, anyone who's been in this situation?

I would love some tips.

I think my LG is good, but the rest...

Hi

I am thinking of doing a few drilling questions but I am afraid it is going to use up the precious PTs from 35 onwards. Does anyone know where the drilling questions are sourced? If they are only within 1-35 then I can do drills worry free.

Thanks so much.

I don't understand why this answer is correct. I chose (B), but the correct answer is (E). Please help me! I can't find an explanation online.

why isnt the answer c here? it states that precision is preferred and class is imprecise so itsn't it supported that the social sciences should use more precise terms?

Dear 7SAGE-ers,

I have been preparing for my LSAT for quite a few months now, am doing well on practice exams, but have a fair bit of variability between my scores. I have scored as high as 177 and as low as 163 on recent practice tests. As a result, I want to take the LSAT multiple times.

I have heard you can take three LSATs a testing year (from August-June) does that mean I could take the LSAT 3 times before that, and still take additional exams AFTER the June LSAT?

Cheers

I signed up for LSAC's field study which is coming up this Friday and Saturday. I am not sure how to schedule a day and time through LSAC. If anyone has signed up for this and knows how to schedule a time please lmk! Thank you.

I did not chose D because it has the word 'interest'. But to me this sounded superficial as oppose to beneficial. I chose E because it shows the exact correlation between the two, but i did think it was a strong statement. Can somebody help?

Hello everyone,

I am planning on taking the January LSAT which is on the 26th, and some of my schools have an application deadline of February 15. Will I receive my score on time for the deadline?

Can someone give an explanation to this one please? I must have had the conclusion wrong. Ill keep reviewing. Thanks!

I have four months till I take my LSAT in April and i'm still more than worried. I can't stop thinking about everything that can go wrong. I took my first diagnostic on the LSAC website but without the timer feature and got a 154. Which I was happy about to have never cracked open a book but now I realize, Its a possibility I set my self up for disappointment now that time is now a factor for me. I'm taking another diagnostic tomorrow and i'm really worried about beating myself up about whatever score I get.

Dear Wonderful 7Sage community,

I have three disabilities that make a test such as the LSAT extremely difficult. The first is severe ADHD, which is common enough that I don't think I need to explain it.

The other two disabilities are 1) convergence insufficiency and 2) astigmatism. The result of these two ailments is that I have severe visual tracking issues which can't be fixed by prescription glasses and can only be mildly alleviated by physical therapy.

I have extensive issues with visual traction and reading. Essentially, when I try to read at quick speeds or for a long period of time, my eyes quickly fatigue, and tracking sentences becomes extremely difficult, As a result of this disorder, I have for years used a text-to-speech software named Speechify and do most of my private reading exclusively via audiobooks, and these disorders severely impacted my ability to do work and get readings done in Undergrad.

My question is THIS: should I request 50% or 100% increased time? These disabilities are quite difficult to deal with, but I don't know what the LSAT policies are like. I feel confident from what I know that I'll be able to get +50% time accommodations. However, I'm worried that if I request +100% increased time I may end up with nothing at all. Is this the case? Or if they deny my request for +100% increased time will I still be eligible for +50%?

(Note: to back up my claims I have a few decades' worth of professional diagnoses, proof of accommodation on the ACT, and additional paperwork. I do not, however, have proof of accommodation from my university since I (unwisely) did not request accommodations.)

Thank you.

Hey guys,

Looking for another (or multiple) 7sager(s) who can help me keep on a disciplined and rigorous study track. Like many of you I'm sure, LSAT studying requires a lot of discipline and forgoing things that I would much rather be doing.

If I have to choose between taking a practice exam, and basically anything else in the universe, it requires a serious effort of the will to take that darned exam.

If you are in a similar spot, message me and we can exchange numbers to create an accountability web and word together to get that 180 :)

So I've now scored a 157 twice and have a 3.52 GPA. My only goal is to get a full scholarship from New York Law School (about 25% of their students get full scholarships). I'm not concerned about getting in but am likely right on the borderline for the full scholarship and I know I can score better than a 157 if I take the January LSAT, but is it even worth it? I feel like I could definitely use a couple extra points to get me over the edge, but I called the admissions office and they said 200 spots have already been given out so I feel like I need to get mine in ASAP.

I have met my LSAT goal this past Wednesday and applied 8 law schools in Texas this past Friday. It is time for me to move on. I thought about tutoring and decided against it because I would not have enough time and other commitments would interfere with teaching. Here is what i learned you have prepare to how handle the stress. Many do not prepare to handle that part entirely. How I prepare was making the PTs 6 sections. Every Saturday I would schedule my PT around 4 pm in the afternoon. But, I order a good lunch and watch latest movies on Blue Ray. I call it LSAT,Lunch and a movie. I did this every Saturday like clockwork. About 2-3 o'clock I would make hazelnut coffee in mug before the exam. It did help to maintain the calmness before the exam. When I was done with drinking the coffee, I would do breathing exercises and mediation for about 15 minutes. It always worked like charm. I didn't worry about the final number nor did I obsess with the final number. Instead, I just focused on skills and making certain that skills were at the top of my game for each section. I knew that LSAC likes to stick the hard questions in the middle whether is LG,LR and RC. I call it the drain stop because it is designed to slow you up and to keep you from finishing. Now, the drainstop I discover would appear someplace after question 15 on LR and would like more than likely until question 22. I would avoid the drainstop and come back to it. I would stop at question 15 and go on to question 25. I would work my way up to question 16. After I completed question 16, I would validate my answer to make sure they were correct. I did this for a couple of passes to make sure. On RC, I would save the comparative reading for last because I feel that it take more time to think about what is being said versus the regular reading passages. With LG, the drain stop would happen with either 3 or 4th game. The heart of the strategy is do the easy questions first and save the hard questions for later and allowing you maximize time. Also, it helps to go back validate the work to help alleviate doubt and uncertainty. Also, I recommend as you get closer the LSAT, try to pick movies that keep you feeling calm and not focus on the test at the moment. I would avoid movies such intense dramas or horror movies. Calm mind is a focused mind. do not obsess with which section is the experimental. You should treat it like a work order for work like in the real world. If you prepare 2 LGs and 2 RC with PT, it makes a big difference because you are not surprised and do not care about which the experimental. You just do it and focus on your skills and validate the questions after completing answering them. If you the score you receive go down slightly, it is good idea to focus on the skills and not focus the score. Your skills determine your ability to do well. Not the final score. If your score is going down, ask your self is it my skills or something like feeling nervous or scared and evaluate on the basis of that. If it is going down, it means that you are not ready. There is nothing wrong with waiting a bit until everything fits into place. Also, obsessing the final number cause you tense up and won't allow you focus as easily as someone who is calm. Just look on Reddit and Twitter at the people who constantly obsess with number. You can see as people get closer to score release. They check constantly like 5 days before the official score release.. They are wound tighter than a baseball. It is like being in room full of nervous Nellys. I decided that I would not before the score was release. The same thing I applied the same logic to guessing about the experimental section. It saved me from stressing about it. Secondly, I decided against revealing my score online because I wanted to remain humble about it and knew other. I saw how it made others feel online and saw that it made some feel less than. I saw one person brag on Twitter about his score and say this" F*&* U B*(&&es, I am going to law school". I decided I was not that way nor would do like him. I felt it would dishonorable to blur it out and make other feel bad like this person did. I do not like to use profanity. The score I received was very good and allowed me to apply to the schools all through Texas. I guess rambled on way too much. It is time for me to call it quits since I met my personal goal and move on. My next goal is buy law school prep course and materials. This is the direction I am heading. I bought my really nice leather brief case to celebrate my victory over the LSAT and went to IHOP last Friday to treat myself. I got myself Gingersnap hot chocolate and Apple Crisp French toast. It feels good to be done with the LSAT. It is more like permanent vacation the way I can describe where you can watch cheap dvd movies and enjoy the fruits of being done. My Saturdays now are empty in a good way. I am going to wait to hear back from the schools

Hi all,

Any advice on how to incorporate the live classes into the CC? I just purchased the Monthy+Live plan and am planning to take the lsat in about 9 months. I am wondering at what point I should start seriously utilizing the live classes. I noticed the live classes include questions from prep tests beyond the 30 old ones saved for drilling in the CC. That made me weary of joining any of them before I have taken a fair share of the newer practice tests.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi there, would anyone be able provide an explanation in regard to how to identify advanced linear vs hybrid games?

Thank you!

I took the November LSAT and I was not happy with my score. I scored 8 points lower than my PT average. I had so much going on and I wasn't in the right state of mind to be taking the test that day. I need some advice on how to study between now and the January test. What do y'all recommend I do to make the best use of my time? Prioritize weak areas? Start from scratch with the CC?

Thank you:)

Hey guys,

Is this the experimental section always the third or fourth section for the new online LSATs? I remember earlier when they first rolled out the online LSAT there was no experimental, but now there is.

Did anyone attend Powerscore's webinar last night? They gave specific topics to study for RC, which blew my mind. How accurate are they on that? For example, they said to have a general idea who Ansel Adams is. I asked how they know this stuff in the chat and was told by other attendees not to ask questions lol.

I'm assuming this isn't new news to a lot of people, but it was to me, that LSAC is introducing a slightly new wording to LG. "Which of the following could be true, but is not necessarily true." Recent test takers in attendance confirmed they saw it on their tests. Which isn't that crazy or difficult, but I like having a heads up so I won't be caught off guard if I see it in January.

It seems like the most highly anticipated info they shared was which tests could be reused. They saved that slide for last and seemed like a lot of build up, but I don't get it. If it's an undisclosed test anyway, how is that useful or groundbreaking info? And LSAC keeps track of which tests each individual has seen, so it's fully guaranteed you won't get a duplicate.

Would love to hear anyone's thoughts who attended!
