I took the LSAT in August after MONTHS OF STUDYING (which apparently didnt help at all) I scored I 138. I am planning on retaking it in November. Should I purchase 7 SAGE for a month to study? I did the schedule generator and they said a month is not enough time that I need to study 700 something hours. Its discouraging... is there no plans for like a month? I HONESTLY think I can raise my score even to 145... but idk if I should purchase it because it is very expensive, as I am unemployed PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR OPINION!!!
Hi everyone,
Recently it seems like the old goal times for games have disappeared and seem to have been replaced by seemingly random times generated with strange goal times (ex. instead of 6 mins for PT 15, G3 it's now 7:52 for some reason). Can anyone comment on this and is it possible to bring back all the old goal times for games?
What LR question types is the Intro to Logic “LAWGIC” section most useful for/when to know when to use it? I understand that it is highly useful for LG’s.
As the exam day is approaching (which is one month away), I can't help but feel impatient, especially when I feel like my fundamentals are shaking, or when I feel like my intuition in approaching questions on LR isn't working well.
How do I keep myself from losing patience, without getting distracted from practicing, drilling and reviewing my mistakes?
I am reapplying for admissions fall 2021. Can my professors upload the same letters they wrote last year, or would it look better if it was a new/updated one?
Happy studying everyone!
I got 163 in my first take in August LSAT and continue to stuck in 163 in PTs. My LR is usually -4/5 but my LG and RC fluctuate between -3 and -8 depending on how the test goes. I'm really frustrated because each test there's always that one section that I would miss -8 or so (sometimes I could -2 in LG but -8 in RC and other times -3 in RC but -8 in LG). I really don't know how to improve except for keep taking more PTs because I fell like I know all the fundamentals in LG and generally if the game is not some curveball weird games I could perform well (-2 or so). Should I retake in the upcoming October LSAT or push back to November? I can't decided mainly because I want to apply in this cycle and not being able to get an ideal score until the end of November makes me nervous about the application timeline. In the meantime, I don't see how I could get a score significantly better than my average 163 in October which is less than 10 days.
I wanted to know if anyone had any tips for improving LR and RC scores? I am currently getting -9 to -11 for LR, and around the same for RC. I also am finding that I will sometimes miss easy ones on LR, but when I review, I don't understand why I missed it in the first place. And for RC, I feel like I understand the passage, but I get tripped up during the questions. #help
For logic game explanation vids they are now showing a computed "target time" instead of the old suggested time bench marks that used to be there. For example, for one game he says in a video that you should aim for under 10 minutes for a game, but my "target time" for that game is 8:38. Is this an update? Before today I had never seen such specific target times under the videos. Also, In the past the time always seemed to line up with what JY said. Is there any way to switch this back?. Also how are these target times calculated?
Looking for a study partner to practice for the November lsat. Would love for both of us to take 2 PT's a week and then BR them together and talk about what we missed and how to improve- honestly mostly to keep each other accountable and hold each other to a strict study routine as this is the last month. Im trying to take PT 69, 70, 76, 80, 84, 85, 86 88 before the November test. Please message me if interested.
I am taking the flex exam on the 8th and RC is currently my worst section, probably because I've spent 99% of my time working on LR and LG. I have trouble retaining the information so have to read again and then lose time. On my most recent PT I got -4 LR and -2 LG, should I focus on keeping improving those or should I spend some time doing RC drills?
Hello Sagers! I have a quick, possibly trivial question regarding the online UI for the LSAT Flex that maybe someone who took the August exam could help me with: Is there a way to mark or blank out answer choices as eliminated when taking the test online?
I find this feature super useful when going through 2 or.3 answers with the fine-tooth comb after I've eliminated other choices. Wondering if I should continue to use this feature on 7Sage or get used to taking practice exams without it. Thanks!
"[Jubilee] was to the spiritual what Hughes's The Weary was to secular songs."
This comes from PT2, Section 1, Q3, AC (E).
Can anyone translate this sentence for me please?
Thank you!
How close before your test day are you planning to take your final PT? For example, I'm taking the October flex on the 8th. I'm considering taking a PT on the 3rd, and then taking the 4th-7th completely off. I'm hoping to experience the effect where people hit a new personal best score after taking a few days off from studying. Does this seem like a good strategy? Should I take the PT closer to the test or further?
Thanks for your input. Good luck!
Do we think LSAT Flex will be used for the April 2021 test administration?
Hi all,
Do I need to send in my study abroad transcript if 1) it was only for one semester and 2) I didn't receive credit for the grades I got from that semester?
Hello,
I am new to 7sage and considering enrolling in the full course and I just have a quick question about the design of the course. Is this course designed to go through the course curriculum and then start taking PT's? Or does it mix in PT's as we complete the curriculum? Thanks in advance!
Hey all, I am new to 7sage and just created and took my first problem set, made up of questions from PT 1 logical reasoning qs. In the review portion, I only see "discuss" under explanation. How do I find the answer key/explanations for questions? When I look under the "explanation videos" I only see logic games and reading comp sections. Thanks!
Hi, all. I am just curious about a particular type of visualisation. We are all familiar with the idea of drawing diagrams for LR questions, and the necessity of competent diagramming for LG. But one thing I have never head discussed is this: when people read a text they will, or they will not, make an internal image of what is being stated. It is not necessary to do so to understand the meaning of a given passage, yet certainly for any novel, and for many other mediums, doing this provides a richer aesthetic experience, and perhaps might even result in a more clear understanding of the text.
So here is the general questions: does anyone think that constantly visualising nearly every image on a RC or LG passage to be a benefit?
Accountability partner anyone?
Hello,
I was was wondering if anyone knows when the last time slot for the test would be.
The october LSAT Flex was from 7am - 7pm EST. Does that mean that the last test starts at 7pm or the last test ends at 7pm?
Thank you!
Hello everyone, how is the writing portion for the LSAT flex administered?
do we have a time to do the writing portion?
thanks in advance
I was stuck between B and C, and ultimately ended up going with C. I immediately crossed out D because I didn't think it was relevant. Would really appreciate someone's insight.
Hi everyone - just wondering if anyone else has trouble with doing RC on a computer screen. In general, I prefer to read things physically printed out (actual books, magazines, newspapers, etc). I notice that my focus is better and I retain more information. Since the LSAT is all online, I bought a tablet to acclimate myself to reading longer passages on a screen. Now that the LSAT is Flex and I can't use tablets, I'm finding that doing RC on my computer screen has been terrible for focus and info retention. I know I just have to keep practicing and getting used to it, but does anyone else have this issue and can suggest ways to get over it? Thanks!
Hey all,
I am currently in a dilemma upon receiving a feedback from my old college professor on my personal statement.
My essay is concentrated on the timeframe between childhood and high school. It starts with an incident that happened when I was eleven. The impacts of the incident continues until high school and my essay covers what I've learned and how it sparked my interest in law. I am pretty confident that my story is unique, which is the reason why I wanted to focus on that experience. And I got the impression from 7Sage's curriculum about personal statement that it's better to focus on something specific rather than painting a broad picture.
But my college professor advised me to condense that story to half, and write the other half about my college experience. She recommended that I write about how I've worked to earn and advance the skills that will help me in law school and in a career as a lawyer. She told me to demonstrate that I am a good writer and researcher, but I am not sure how to show that as I have not written any thesis or did research outside class assignments. Some extracurriculars I've done and awards received could be indicative, but my resume already covers them and provide a good picture on how I spent my time in college. She also believes that I need to indicate why I chose my college in the US (I am Korean). Hmm.
I have so much love and respect for the professor that I feel like I need to follow her advice, but at the same time I am not sure if talking about my college experience will just dilute the impact of my story. What should I do?
