Hi everyone!

I am looking for study buddies/group in Toronto, Canada to either have weekly online meetings or even in person (if the distance between the participants allows). I am currently working my way through the CC and am almost done with LR part. The purpose of this group would be to discuss concepts/strategies, logic through the harder questions and build good habits :)

NOTE: I work part time so my availability is pretty open. I would prefer to choose one day and commit to it so we all build the habit of doing a collaborative review.

I've been studying for almost 10 months now, and still scoring low in LR (not much different in RC...)

in the beginning I used to get -13 wrong and got better constantly scoring just below -10

some times I got around -5 but those sections were the ones that had 2-star difficulty...

feel like I'm spending my time and energy for nothing.

so demoralizing

Hello! I'm wondering where I can see my previous problem sets, as in problem sets that I've taken in the past that I'd like to go back to and review a day later. I used to be able to do this, but as of a week or two ago, I haven't been able to. What was Problem Sets is called Drills now. Where I used to be able to review my exisitng problem sets, there's an Auto Builder now. Is the review existing problem sets feature no longer a feature of 7Sage? Please let me know. Thank you.

Anyone looking to join a group for the Nov 2022 or Jan 2023 dates? Im closer to the beginning on my studying on here, might be easier to find others around the same level i am. We can even take it from the top and discuss each topic on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to keep each other accountable.

Im on the west coast. Not sure how to direct message anyone

  • Start studying for the LSAT part time (8+ hours a week) at least 8 months before the real test
  • Follow the LR-LG-RC order in studying 7sage’s curriculum (unless you know of a very strong personal reason not to)
  • Take all the time you need to master LR, but make sure you begin your RC study at least 3 months before the test. You need time to develop the ‘feel’
  • 2.5+ months of full time studying (35+ hours a week) before the test if you can afford it
  • 1.5+ month of full time prep test drilling before the real test if you can afford it. It's supposed to take 6+ hours to complete a prep test, do blind review, and then watch the explanation videos
  • Postpone the test if necessary, don't take it unprepared
  • Keep studying LR and RC until you have a clear intuition for finding the right answer choice. It’s about the feel, really
  • For LR and RC, be merciless with time. Force yourself to finish the section early despite less time for answering each question
  • For LG, go through 7sage’s curriculum, star all the questions/stems you find hard, and redo them again and again until you master them
  • Good luck!

    Recently, I have realized I am pretty slow reader. When doing practice LSAT questions/exams, I have issues either reading too slow, or if I read too fast, missing key details or simply not understanding the stem.

    Any advice on how I can improve my reading skills or practice it? I would prefer not to use LSAT questions not in the core curriculum, as I do not want to read ones I potentially may come across in future LSAT practice exams.

    Thanks!

    Hi!

    I am aiming for over 175 for Oct 2022 LSAT! If anyone is interested in joining a study group please comment below and I will send you guys the link.

    Thanks!

    (btw, I am looking for people who would be joining weekly zoom meeting to go over prep questions and tips together!

    I am curious to know what the formulaic way of calculating the total number of worlds for any given game. Obviously, I will not use this during the test, this is based off pure curiosity to do on my free time! For example, for PT 30, S1, G4, I worked out 18 possible worlds that are definitive. Given the conditional nature of rules in a game, I think it would be fun to be able to go Good Will Hunting mode and see if I could plug in some numbers to a formula of some sort to see if I get the same output as 18. I was doing some online research and there is something called the combination formula!

    Hi guys,

    I have been struggling recently with test anxiety. There was a wonderful few weeks where I actually really looked forward to every test and saw them as a really enjoyable part of my day, but now they just fill me with dread. On the days I take PTs I feel sick and anxious all day because I feel like if I do badly then the entire week of studying will have been a waste. This stress often leads me to feel panicked during PTs which really affects my timing and focus. The anxiety has been exacerbated by a recent score regression. It feels like a vicious cycle. I took a few days off from everything LSAT to reboot and even pushed my test date back to ward of that "impending doom" feeling, but I am still so stressed about PTs and even drills. Has this happened to anyone else and what helped you get through it?

    Thanks in advance!

    Advice

    I'm totally running out of time studying for the August LSAT and it's so hard to admit it. I'm already signed up and paid and everything, no turning back now.... I'm working full time and thought it would be a lot easier to set aside time to study, not realizing how exhausted I'd be. Any advice on what parts I can skim through or skip ahead to??

    You've spent months foolproofing games, sharpening your conditional logic and reading endless passages about aboriginal handcrafts in preparation for the LSAT. You are ready to sit the exam when you get the email from LSAC saying, "You must complete the LSAT Writing section before receiving your score."

    Don't stress, we here at 7Sage have you covered! We offer a 100% free guide to the LSAT Writing section that explains what it is, how you can prepare for it and whether it matters at all!

    My year long LSAT journey came to a very happy end yesterday, getting a 178 on the June 2022 test. I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to say that I scored higher on the real thing than any PT ever!!! I can honestly say this would not have happened without our friends here at 7Sage and especially my tutor @"Chris Nguyen".

    As a slower reading STEM major, I struggled quite a bit initially with LR and RC. After the August test last year I was ready to give up, and took a few months off. I started up studying again in January this year with some new found motivation, but I was still struggling, stuck in the high 160s and occasional low 170.

    I had gone to a few tutors before, but none worked for me. 7Sage's content had been great for LG, so I decided to give their tutors a shot. That's when I met Chris. We immediately got to work on RC. After only one session I was answering questions more confidently, and was no longer getting any main point questions wrong (a big weakness of mine). With Chris's strategies I was able to go from around -8 on RC down to -3 or 4.

    Chris also worked with me on LR timing, and gave me specific strategies for every question type that I struggled with. He spent the time to understand how I approached questions, and how I thought about the test, and then tailored strategies that would work for me. I've seen others say the same thing, but I wish I had met Chris sooner! I saw consistent improvement from every single strategy we implemented. Chris was reassuring through rough patches, and insistent during the good times. I went from being overjoyed with a -4 on LR, to expecting -0.

    Maybe it was lucky to score above my PTs on the real test, but the protocols Chris and I implemented together put me in that position. He kept saying, that if I do everything we've discussed, there is nothing holding me back from mid to high 170s. He was right about all of it!

    Thank you so much Chris. If anyone's looking for a tutor, Chris is the best there is. Cannot recommend him enough!

    Hi! I’m looking to form a study group or find study buddies for the October LSAT. Mainly to hold each other accountable and even go on FaceTime/video call to study together. My availability varies, but I am usually deee evenings into the night as I work full-time. Let me know!

    I just want to say that this resource was life changing for me. I self studied using only 7sage for 6 months and went from a diagnostic of 154 in December to 177 on my first official LSAT this June. Thank you thank you thank you 7sage, JY, and the community of people here. If I can give back in any way to anyone who is a part of this community, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

    Is there a way to add extra time on PTs for people with accommodations? If not, I think that would be a good improvement to help people prepare most realistically for the actual test day
