Hi all,

I'm stumbling across 7sage's law school instruction videos. (Crim, civ pro, property, etc.) and was wondering a few things.

Thanks for your time, all!

I am working through CC and I am pinning questions I get wrong. Where can I go to see my pinned items?

Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to effectively review/study in between practice tests?

I recently finished the core curriculum. I plan to take the August and possibly October LSAT, and am aiming for a 167+. My most recent PT score was 159 with a BR score of 168. Currently, I’m taking one practice test per week each Saturday, blind reviewing the same day, and reviewing the whole test on Sunday. Monday through Thursday I take one timed section per day and blind review. Friday I review all the sections. I work full time.

I also just ordered The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy so I will implement that as well, but if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can improve my study plan I would really appreciate it! I just don’t know if this is how I should be going about studying, or if there are other things I should be implementing.

do you think the risks of this new format outweigh any potential cons? like no in person test date for a while or whatever

And if u were planning to take april will you take the flex?

I have a question regarding a potential "Most strongly supported" question that may have an answer choice with the inclusion of "always". For an example: Lets say that in a stimulus, it reads "I eat pies on Wednesdays." If one of the answer choices was-- I "always" eat pies on Wednesdays, would that be correct? Even if it "always" is not stated in the stimulus, should that be implied through appropriate reasoning?

Hello Everyone,

Anyone want to join a Whatsapp group to keep track of each other's study schedule and motivate one another during this quarantine. It can also be a place to help one another and help rant about this process. Not everyone lives within a community, although supportive, truly understands the stress law school applications can place on people. Also, you can join where ever you are from, i'll try to start weekly discussion questions on there where we can all give different perspectives on approaches to studying and such....

Looking forward to meet you. Comment below or send me DM.

Hi everyone,

I'm very inconsistent with Reading Comprehension and one of the main things I'm seeing is that I spend so much time dwelling on trap answer choices and end up wasting so much time and momentum. I've done lots of practice but for some reason I always end up with 2 answer choices and basically just guess between the two. Any tips?

Given the uncertainty surrounding LSAT dates and law school admissions for fall 2021, should I start studying for the August exam or should I take summer courses to wrap up my degree by December 2020? If I decide to take summer course, I will then start law school in fall 2022 but I will also have 6-7 months to study full-time for the LSAT. It just seems like everything is so uncertain and the safest path is for me to take some of my required courses over the summer.

In general, what changes do you think law schools will make to their admission process if April and June exams are also cancelled? Do you think their application submission dates will be extended or would they start accepting GRE/GMAT tests for the upcoming cycle?

Any intel on what’s going to happen next year? Do people think we will be doing our 1L (for students starting tomorrow this fall) year online?

Hi, I am relatively new here and not as tech savvy as some of you. Can you please help me figure out the curriculum?

After completing the last CC section on RC, do we jump to the February 1997 Test? Effectively skipping over the "deprecated" drill sections for PT1-35 that are listed in the syllabus? The syllabus and class schedule indicate two distinct pathways.

Thanks for any help!

If you have ever looked at the comments on games, you will have probably noticed a plethora of comments pertaining to the target time, so I wanted to share a few thoughts on these targets.

Target times are subjective. Although there is a reasonable degree of consistency with respect to target times given the ability to compare games, these times are still based on a subjective evaluation of the game's difficulty and time consumption.

Target times are helpful in their appropriate context. Target times, which are, in my opinion, properly used as a general guide, can be helpful in determining whether you mastered a game or whether you need to try it a few more times. In short, I think target times should be used as a heuristic rather than gospel or an end in itself.

Target times have a potential to be harmful when taken out of their appropriate context. Unless you are extraordinarily gifted in LG, the strategies to get certain games down to their target times may not be the strategies that will make you successful in LG on the real LSAT. Given the anxiety of test day and the fact that these games are entirely new, you won't always be able to rely on memorized inferences and game boards. For this reason, the best test takers I know have a process for attacking games. This process incorporates timing, skipping, how you read the questions, and even where you write down the rules. You want to make LG as simple as possible so that you can overcome the anxieties and the indeterminacy of test day. The process provides a structure of normalcy and habit amidst the chaos of test day. While it may be possible to get all games down to their target times in your practice, this should not be done at the expense of process and good habits. Hence, the potential harm of target times is to enforce sloppy habits and take away from a structured process.

Practice for process, not just for time. In your practice, the target times for LG should be a part of a more complete picture. Ask, "Did I follow my process (which includes timing)?" rather than "Did I hit the target time?". As you improve in games and follow a well-designed process, timing will come. However, if you just practice for time, you might not develop a well-designed process. And this makes you more vulnerable to mistakes on test day. If you go perfect in LG on test day, no one is going to care that you did a game in 6 minutes rather than its target time of 5.

Hi everyone!

I am looking for a study partner to go through material with. I know that sometimes, explaining things to one another is the best way to go, and also to see what another approach may be. I'd be open to going through the CC, sections, or drills. I'd probably mostly be doing LR and LG, but I'm always open to discussing RC. Or, do one game together. I mean, whatever works. I am a non-traditional student and work full time. I am just trying to get comfortable with the language of LSAT as much as possible.

I'm currently in EST and I work full-time, so I would mostly be studying after work, usually around 6:00 - 9:00 if any of those hours work for people.

For those who are supplementing their 7Sage Prep with The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy, our study group is going to be reviewing Prep Test 75 section 1 using this method. We will be sharing our translations on Tuesday 4/7 and then we are planning to going over the translations and CLIR as a group on Wednesday 5 pm Eastern time.

Here is the link to join our group:

https://groupme.com/join_group/57415632/QdTu0vK9

Both study sessions are added to the calendar and we will also be adding the Zoom link and Google drive link there as well.

Hopefully, this will be the first of multiple sessions. In addition, we have been having BR sessions weekly for various prep tests so if you are looking to improve your LR understanding or hoping to take the LSAT in the near future we would love for you to join us. All levels of prep are welcome, we also have a sub group for people still taking the CC.

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to pause your problem sets when you're practicing and return to the same question that you left off with when you come back. I was thinking this would be good because I created really long problem sets and when I try to do them on the new digital format I have to do it all in one sitting. I would really like to get a feel for the digital LSAT but still have the option to pause and pick it up again where I left off at a later time. Thanks!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I’ve been “prepping” for the LSAT for a little bit and took too VERY quick Practice Tests (138) in about 2 hours...I KNOW I need to slow down, learn more technique (WHICH ones do U recommend!?!), & attack this smartly.

Again, thanks in advance, for your suggestions. - BK

What were your numbers (LSAT Score and GPA) and to what schools were you:

Thanks for sharing!

Hi!

I just started my 7Sage lsat journey via the subscription service. I am almost through the LSAT trainer and am feeling confident on everything but logic games. I was planning on taking my lsat in August and maybe retaking in November but I'm looking for tips/advice on how I can maximize my study technique until then. I am currently studying everyday, but am also a full-time student.

Any suggestions on books to read to prepare for law school?

Thanks to 7SAGE for helping me improve with the games. Took the Feb 2020 LSAT and forgot to post this. GPA is around a 3.78 at the moment (1 semester left). Thoughts on what schools I'm in range for? Thanks!

Any tips? Pleaaaaaase

On a recent PT I put so much energy and effort into the first 3 passages so maybe that's why- but I totally died by the 4th passage and just guessed everything. I was also running out of time.. how do I get faster and better? And stay alert through all of them.

Hey guys quick question about going through logic games. For those that fullproofed, did you do every game from 1-35, and did you do all of that before you started taking timed pt's or after a few pt's where you were struggling on the games? Just started the logic game curriculum and I am trying to plan out my studying and see if anyone had recommendations about how to go about it. Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm trying to make sure I keep certain LR topics fresh and also work on ones I struggle with most. I am completing the CC question sets as I move along through the sections.

What can I use to "drill" certain questions after I complete the CC question sets?

What is the best way to study for LR? Currently, while I BR, I type out the conclusion, premise, and why each AC except one is wrong. Any tips? What worked well for you?

How do you review LR questions that you got wrong?

I hope everyone's healthy and staying productive these days. Just wanted to check in and ask how everyone is studying and scheduling their days during quarantine. I'm wondering especially how y'all preserve your sanity and what do you do to calm your mind and just chill.

I have a full time job but the pandemic reduced my workload tremendously, which means I have a lot of time to study now, yay! But the downside is that I am now inclined to work almost all day, and everyday. I tried taking today off (that is after taking a PT :)), but I ended up deciding to study as little as possible, by foolproofing a few games and reading RC sections from the Trainer. Cause the guilt of not studying is making me feel very anxious.

But on the bright side, I now get to practice yoga every morning (highly recommended) and also try to squeeze in some meditation time. Other than that practically the only breaks I get during the day are my 2 coffee breaks and watching an episode of the Office every now and then.

Day-offs are overrated anyway am I right?? But seriously I think I need advice on how not to burn out. Also wouldn't it be great if everyone shared some ideas on how we can all preserve our mental health while going through all this shit?

For those of you who have started law school or have gotten your target score, what advice do you wish you were given at the beginning of your LSAT journey? Knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?
