Hello all, my 7sage account is about to expire and moving forward, I want to make sure that if I don't renew my account, I'll still have access to the things I need. And basically, all I need from 7sage at this point in studying is under the discussion forum and and the resources tab. I have a bunch of practice tests, so that's not what I'm looking for from 7sage ~ all I need is the videos that are posted for each and every question to each and every preptest. Does anyone know if this is a free part of 7sage? Or is it under the paid curriculum? Thank you!

Hi,

Does anyone recommend a specific consultant to use to look over personal statements and additional essays? I don't need help with the admissions process more just someone to look over essays and offer suggestions throughout the writing process.

And preferably a service that doesn't cost thousands $$$

Thank you!

Thoughts on how fall semester will play out? Online? Lower qualifications? Less apps? More apps?

Hi all,

I wanted to see if there are any full-time undergraduate students out there who would like to start a remote study/support group. I thought we could learn from each other and discuss some challenges that we are facing with these problems!

If you're interested let me know!

Hi, just wondering if it's possible to re-take a PT on 7sage? Will it keep a record of all the scores for each PT attempt? Thanks!

Straight up, does the .04 matter? Didn't think ITAL 101 would be the class to kill perfection, but here we are. I plan on applying to a T14 law school. I am reaching for HYS, but if a fall short, I would be perfectly content. That said, would a small difference in GPA carry significant sway at a school like Harvard or Yale that likely see many 4.0 applicants? If my LSAT score is around their 25th percentile, would falling short of the golden "4.0" actually have any significance in their admittance decision (ceteris paribus)?

Not pulling my hair out over the issue, but I am curious about the implication small differences in GPA make in law school admissions.

Say you get through all but 5 questions in a section with a minute to spare. Is it advised to quickly guess the last few answers? Would this increase the probability of a better score, or does this hurt your score?

Once I finish the Blind Review for problem sets how do I advance or see how I did on that set?

I think I might be spotting a technical issue in the curriculum. In the "Introduction to Logic" section, all of the video explanations for the quizzes do not play smoothly. They constantly stop and start, as if buffering. I do not have this problem on any other part of the curriculum in "Intro to Logic" or otherwise. I do not have this problem when watching the impacted videos on my phone. It also does not seem to be a wifi issue as my phone is connected to the same wifi, and all my other sites and videos are playing fine. I have cleared my browser's (chrome) cache. I am on a Lenovo laptop operating Windows 10 Home. Any idea what might be going on? It is pretty frustrating to have to open up only certain videos on my phone if I want to watch them as I move through the curriculum on my computer.

Here is one of the pages on which I have encountered this problem: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/quiz-group-4-translations-1-w-answers/?ss_completed_lesson=10107

Thanks!

I will be taking the June 2020 LSAT and plan to take it once more either in August or October. I have paid for the test itself, but I'm wondering when would be the best time to purchase CAS. Additionally, should I purchase the packages that allow me to send the reports to schools now, or wait until I have taken the test (in case I don't get the score I want)? Or should those be done after I take the second test so that those scores will be sent? I'm new to this whole process, so I would love any advice on this! Thanks!

Hi guys, hope you all are doing well!

I'm wondering if a strong correlation like "the more X, the less Y" could be diagrammed as a bi-conditional (e.g. "The more history a person knows, the less likely that person likes history"). Also, is "the more X, the less Y" logically equivalent to "the less Y, the more X"?

How about "As x increases, Y decreases"? Can this be diagrammed as a bi-conditional? (e.g. "As one's knowledge of history increases, one's love for history decreases")

Thanks!

P.S. I have nothing against history lol. I just happened to modify a few sentences from PT61.2.24

I have a question regarding the use of the word "all". If a sentence proceeds in this manner: Cats are happy animals. Even if the "all" is not included before cats, can I appropriately assume that ALL cats are happy animals? or is it MOST cats are happy animals? or other choices?

Hi guys,

I'm new to 7sage. Although I've had an account for awhile (free trial), I finally bought the ultimate course level a couple of weeks ago. My biggest problem is timing. In my diagnostic test, I was barely finishing half of each section on time; but with BR, I increased by score by 16 points.

I'm still working on the curriculum, but I was wondering if it is recommended to go through every PTs before taking the LSAT? If you didn't take every PT, how many did you take, and did you feel like you took enough PTs? Do you have any advice for determining when you are ready to take the LSAT?

I've

By far the hardest question type for me in LR is SA and MBT questions. I have learned the whole formula/diagramming/translation stuff that is taught in the Core Curriculum and I understand it quite well. However, I try to do it in my head (as one is supposed to do) then apply it as I'm doing each question to get the right answer. But I always get them wrong. These two questions types have me stressed out because I can't improve no matter what I do.

I should note I mainly have trouble with the moderate difficulty and harder questions (levels 3-5 on the difficulty scale). The easier ones I can do.

How do I improve at these question types? What advice or help can you give me? Perhaps other techniques additional to this?

Hi all,

I am new to 7sage and trying to create a study schedule for myself. I only want to create a schedule to complete the core curriculum (215 hours) but it's only giving me the option to create a schedule to complete 900 hours of material, which I assume includes the practice tests? Does anybody know if there is a way to adjust this? Any help would be appreciated! :)

So I've been doing a few prep tests, under timed conditions and have seen great results. The past 3 i've taken were a 161, 163 and 165. However, I took one today without feeling 100% focused and got a 157, a decently sized step backward. I was wondering if anyone else has ever run into this, and how you dealt with it

Hi 7sage!

I'm doing timed PTs now and so far I have done 4. I am having such a hard time with timing as right when the timer hits I get stressed and anxious and I just can't seem to do well under timed conditions. Feeling rushed and under pressure takes away so much of my reasoning ability and my brain just goes crazy, which i'm sure is why LSAC does this in the first place! When I do my work untimed I get all the answers or most of the answers all correct.

How long did it take you all to get use to the timing conditions? How many PTs did it take you to feel somewhat comfortable?

Thanks 7Sage!

I've been a long time member of 7Sage... I know the website used to have a section that stores all links for previously held webinars by Sages... but, it looks like the section has been removed from the website.

Is there any way we can have an access to previous webinar series?

Thanks

Hi guys. First, thanks to everyone here for building such a great and friendly community.

My undergrad degree is from Russia, CAS did evaluate it but didn't provide a GPA score. The only thing I see in their report is following:

Quality of academic record for this institution (according to AACRAO): Above Average

And they give a grade rating as B.

How do schools look at this? Do they convert it to a GPA score by themselves, like I would give it a score 3.0. Or they don't consider it and just look at LSAT. Is it an advantage or more disadvantage?

Thank you and may you all stay safe and healty!

Hi everyone! I decided to retake the LSAT for the 4th time this June and apply for the 2021 cycle vs remain in the 2020 application pool. My final LSAT score for January 2020 was a 151. I started studying again mid-March as I have had a ton of time now that I work from home. My average for the last 3 tests I’ve taken is a 153. I do a section a day and have scored a 155 through that. I’m hoping to score at least a 160 in June and was hoping someone could offer some advice? Currently I do a section a day, review that section, and then drill the corresponding section + logical reasoning. I also take a PT every Saturday and try to review it on Sunday. I’m hoping a month is enough time but any advice would be appreciated!

Hello. I'm having trouble understanding why Answer Choice A is incorrect and why choice C is correct. Answer Choice A reads, "Whenever a society has plentiful resources, some members of that society devote themselves to the study of natural processes." In the stimulus, you know that people have leisure when they have plentiful resources, and leisure is needed for the study of natural processes. Therefore, whenever a society has plentiful resources, people have the leisure they need to devote themselves to the study of natural resources. That is why I thought Answer Choice A is correct and can't see why it is incorrect. I watched JY's video explanation, but I got lost and confused when he explained the order of logic.

I'm also having trouble understanding what part of the stimulus gives support to Answer Choice C.

If someone can please explain to me how my way of thinking about Answer Choice A is wrong and why Answer Choice C is actually correct, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much in advance!

So I have finally gone thru all of the 7Sage courseload. I made an outline for Logical Reasoning (as this seems to be the most information/technique memorization section) and made quick flash cards pertaining to all sections for indicator words and other things.

What is the best way to study and review? Drill questions? Obviously do full preptests but i cannot do them everyday. Base studying off of analytics?

Planning on taking August exam, so I have time to blitz thru everything. Just trying to be thorough.

Hope everyone is doing okay with COVID-19! I am a pharmacist, so I am still working but squeezing in study time daily.

HI! I decided to move up my testing schedule because of the current situation so I'm just getting started with LSAT prep. Most likely, I'll be registering for the Sept/Oct test. I'm in the pacific time zone and pretty much free in the afternoons and would love to get a study group together! Let me know if you're interested!!!

How do you guys choose the order of passages you are going to read first? Does anyone choose by how many paragraphs are in each passage or how many questions a passage has? Or do you go in order and skip after you get a feeling that a certain passage is hard as you are reading it?
