Accomodations

I submitted my paperwork for accommodations on April 7th (for the June test). This whole time it has been "under review" on LSAC and I looked today and there was nothing indicating that I had submitted paperwork. Ugh...I'm super frustrated. I emailed LSAC so I hope they get back to me soon. I never got an email indicating the I had submitted paperwork for accommodations. It just kept saying that they were under review so I assumed they received them. Has this happened to anyone before?

Hello all!

Just curious about everyones experience with diagnostic, studying timeline, practice test average, and LSAT score. Also curious what it took you to get to that final score (or to where you are ready to take LSAT and have had consistent average).

Background: I am 32, a stay at home mom to a 1 year old and have just started my LSAT journey after postponing for so long. My study schedule is 5 am wakings to get in 1-2 hours before baby is up and I usually study during his naps, so I average around 2-4 hours per day (if I am lucky!). Weekends are all over, with mostly taking one day off to do everything else I need to do. I started 7sage in September of 2021, but only realistically started in February (life kept getting in the way). I am still working through the course, which is obviously not going as fast as I would like and was hoping I would be done for now.

How long, how often did you study before you took the leap and took the test? Where/when did you see the biggest improvement?

Hi everyone,

I've been studying on my own for about 5-6 months, and I am taking the June LSAT coming up. I just recently learned about 7sage and decided to subscribe in the month before my test. Obviously, I don't have nearly enough time to go through all of the material, which brings me to my question: are there are any lessons that you guys felt were the most helpful - or maybe triggered an "aha" moment in your brain - in each of LG, LR, and RC respectively?

Currently, LG is my strongest (scoring around 17-21/23) with LR and RC both behind trailing behind (19-20/25 and 20-21/27). Would welcome any advice given the one month timeline I have right now.

Thanks in advance!

Berkeley CA Study Group

Hey! Another 7Sager and I are starting an in-person study group that would meet in Berkeley, CA (on campus or elsewhere) to keep each other accountable, discuss strategies and problems, and such. Hoping to take the LSAT in August! Join us if you're motivated or need motivation :)

Studying the LSAT full time

I am taking four months off from work to study the LSAT full time (35-40hrs a week). With this amount of study time what is the best way to attack the practice tests? Should I burn 1 PT a day, 3 PT's a week or 1 PT a week?

Thanks for any advice.

With this question, I chose (C) over (D) due to 'becoming warmer'.

As (b) is eliminated with the same reason, I thought this whole passage doesn't talk about the future, but only focuses on what happened in the past 100 years. I got the detail that "greenhouse is the major cause" should be included, but (c) was more compelling to me as 'becoming warmer' seemed like a huge red flag for me.

I don't know why I get confused and waste time on relatively easy and clear-cut questions for others.

Overall, I think I'm too obsessed with details and words at this point. I tried to build the habit of not loosing details and tried to balance between holding on to the main structure, but now I feel like I have a serious problem of just maybe reading skill in general..?

Hope someone could give advice on my thought process...Really need help to improve on RC

Huge thanks in advance!!

Blind Review

I get the questions correct under timed conditions, however, when I do blind review I change my answers from correct to incorrect.

Gameboard Setup

Quick question -

I've just finished the grouping games intro videos on the CC. After watching JY walk through the solutions, I'm wondering, do we always just notate the necessary conditions on the gameboards?

For example, game 4 on PT26 (the lawmakers and scientists with one chairperson) has two not both rules. G -> /V and H -> /Y. Instead of notating G or H in, JY notates /V or /Y in, making the rules irrelevant since the necessary is satisified and the sufficient condition falls away.

In the game with the two boats with three adults and five children, there is a F -> G rule, and the contrapositive is /G -> /F. Instead of notating F or /G, JY instead notates G into the diagram. Once again, the necessary is satisfied and the sufficient condition falls away.

Is this what I'm supposed to be doing in my gameboard setup? Because if so, this might cut down some time while I'm doing games and even get my head straight when I'm doing the games.

If anyone has any advice on this, please let me know. I'm struggling most with just the gameboard set up (for most games) - as soon as I accomplish that, the questions are ridiculously easy.

Study Group

Hi,

My name is Genesis, I live in the LA area and I am looking for anyone who is willing to study together virtually. I have been studying sporadically and need more structure/support. I also find that the gratification in this study process is incredibly low, which affects my motivation.

Hoping to meet during these times, I am a morning person. I don't know for how long, and I don't expect this to be absolutely every single week/everyday I know we all have our own lives going on. I think I just need a space/community to be apart of! I hope to do the same. Make friends and maybe even get into law school together!

Check-in days/talk about how its going plans for the week/day

Monday- Friday: 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM and/or maybe? 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM

study sesh #1

Saturday: 7:00 AM to 10 AM

study sesh #2

Sunday: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

  • all times PST *
  • I am looking to score anything higher than 170 and I am currently barely hitting 160. I plan on applying this September. But I want to keep my test dates open, and go more on how I am performing/feeling/confidence..,etc

    Warmly,

    Gen

    Hello all, I am new to 7Sage, not entirely new to the LSAT, took it for the first time last January and scored a 158 after studying for 3 months on my own with Khan and some popular books.

    Ive heard amazing things about 7Sage but I am just not sure if its right for me.

    Im extremely frustrated and confused by the core curriculum layout. It has you learn a type of question drill it like 50 times and then moves on to the same thing with a new type of question. Well by the time ive completed the drills, I try to go back to complete some questions of the previous type and I cant seem to remember the strategies and or I mix it with the one I just completed.

    I feel like im spinning my tires here. Is this normal for the beginning of the CC? Do I just trust the process?

    In my other study material it strongly advised against practicing one type of question over and over in an attempt to master it as it would take away from the ability to tackle different types of Q's back to back, Im worried I am experiencing this.

    I am no expert on the LSAT or studying for it, but I see the success 7Sage has afforded others and Im frustrated because I just dont see any progress.

    Is this normal? When will I start to feel like im actually progressing?

    Logic Game: Please Advise!

    I've completed Logic Game PT 1 - 52. Would you recommend I continue to do more recent PTs or redo the one I've already completed? I miss about 7-8 questions for a complete set (4 games) with timing (30 mins). When doing a blind review, I still miss 2-3 questions.

    I'm preparing for the 2022 June LSAT. Any advice would be appreciated!

    Hello all,

    I was wondering if anybody could give me advice on Logic Games. I’ve been taking PTs everyday since April 11. And my test date is June 11. I’ve been seeing a slow incline and sometimes I’ll stagnate in scores. But I think it’s because my LG section is always really poor and it brings down my score.

    Are their any strategies y’all would reccomend me do? Should I focus on LG during the week and then take PTs on the weekend?

    Since my Best score so far on PTs is just shy of 8 points of my target score for the school I am looking at. So I think if I can just improve on LG section, then I’ll be able to get it on test day.

    *PS, any of y’all watching the new season of Better Call Saul so far? Cuz I’m loving it! Haha

    I am currently unable to see the analytics by section on the analytics landing page. What used to show the numbers of questions I got wrong is now only showing "-". I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

    For those who have fool proofed, did you fool proof games that you completed in under the target time on the first try? So far I've still been doing each game 4 times (following the Pacifico method) regardless of if I completed it in under the target time on the first try, but I'm not sure if it's necessary.

    So I have been having a hard time getting in to local law schools because of a transcript issue, but it seems I could get in to an online LLB program (equivalent of a JD in the US and Canada) based out of the UK. To become licensed back in North America, several exams would be required. Does anyone know anything about online degrees? Are they received well in the professional world? I'd appreciate anyone's input. Thanks.

    Like a lot of people, I had multiple connection issues while testing yesterday. They all happened during the same RC section so I had to re-read each time and then I also lost 4 minutes because of my proctor's mistake. I had two RC sections in my exam so there's a 50% chance that the one I had issues on doesn't count. I feel good about the rest of it and now I don't know whether I should retake it in May or take the gamble and use my first-time preview score on yesterday's exam.

    I would be really grateful for any thoughts/advice!

    Lsat Practice Sections

    Is there a way to launch a specific section section( LR or LG) of an LSAT test and go through the blind review?

    Or do I have to complete the entire test and then BR?

    Thanks in advance

    Popup ads during LSAT

    Hey. I started getting these pop up ads from last week. even though I am on Chrome, and have deleted internet explorer, I am getting these ads that I just can't get rid off. I have tried deleting some files from my laptop but the ads keep on coming back. I was wondering what would happen if an ad shows up during the actual LSAT test. I know that the proctor website requires me to close all unnecessary apps/windows, but what would happen if an ad pops up during my LSAT would I get disqualified or am I worrying too much.

    Thanks.
