I have been studying on and off for a year+ and I have taken almost every practice test 2004-2017. I am taking the March 30 LSAT.

I have just been retaking tests now, even though they are familiar, they still seem new most of the time.

I have three tests (all from 2019) that I've never taken before. Should I save them all for the weekends in March leading up to the test, or should I take them now?

Can't decide whether to save them for closer to the test date or take them earlier and then hard review them in March.

I have completed the CC. Logic games is my weakest section.

I am quitting my FT job to work PT and study for next 3-4 months.

How should I structure my days?

Logic games drilling

and then full practice tests - BR - and repeat ?

What did you find to be the most effective ways to structure your study time after CC was complete?

Please help. Any advice is appreciated

Hey guys,

I've been on my LSAT journey since September where I scored an initial diagnostic of 142 (shameful I know...) I'm now scoring in the 154 range timed with my BR being in the 157 range.

I was wondering if anyone has any advice on time pressure during the exam? Do you recommend hiding the timer? I find that when I see it counting down it makes me quite flustered which is hard to control. However, when I am practicing while just timing on my phone I'm able to solely focus on the exam and my accuracy is a lot better.

I know my capabilities are really being hindered by the time pressure so if anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

I've been following 7sage for a while now. I have been studying for the LSAT since June and I am scoring at about 160. I really need to get my reading comp score up! I am taking the February LSAT next week and I've tried many approaches. If anyone has anything (especially if it works quickly) I'd love to hear it.

Thank you!

If you are looking to study with me for the lsat lmk. I can study on the Rutgers campus. If you attend Rutgers and are pre-law and need to study for the lsat or if you are simply around the New Brunswick/piscataway area and need to study for the lsat and are looking for a study buddy lmk.

I'm at the NA section of the core curriculum (almost done the problem sets) and so far these are the hardest question type for me.

What are some general tips/tricks you guys use to get the questions right (esp. hard questions)? I'm looking for a general rule or mindset to always have in mind as I do the questions to try and get them right.

For the premium course you get a limited amount of LSAT tests to practice with that are factored into the backwards planning from your anticipated exam date. I believe it goes up to 2009 or 2012 as the most recent practice tests. Being in the year 2020, should I stick to using 2012 and up tests to gain practice in vs the recommended 1990 tests -2009/2012 etc listed for practice? Or at the end of the day is a practice test a practice test regardless of what year it came out?

I received an email from an assistant dean at a school to which I've applied. He asked to set up a phone call to discuss my application. The school does not do interviews. Has this happened to anyone? I'm confused.

looking for feedback/tips, with the 7 sage schedule going through logical reasoning in its entirety before going on to logic games then reading comp, i was wondering if it would be better to follow a approach of looking at a bit of each section every week. was contemplating using the powerscore study schedule (does a bit of each every week) but using the 7 sage material instead of the powerscore bibles. thoughts on what has worked/is working for anyone?

Hi, conditional reasoning is something I have struggled with and wanted to start drilling to become better at. I was wondering whether anyone has ever compiled a list of questions that utilize conditional reasoning as the method to arrive at the correct answer? If so, would you be willing to share that list? Thank you!

I signed up for an official tour of a school to which I've applied. Does anyone have attire advice? I'm wondering if I should wear business casual or if street clothes are OK. I'll be traveling and with my one year old son, so casual is preferred but of course will wear what's appropriate/expected.

Also, I got an interview request from what I considered a safety school. I'm a little freaked out, because I'm under the impression that interviews are offered to candidates in the discretionary group. Can anyone offer insight on the interview process?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am having a tough time with taking notes for the entirety of the 7Sage curriculum. I learn better with outlines where all of the info is there and I just have to annotate and fill in. In light of this, does anyone have 7Sage curriculum outlines/notes that are okay with sharing? Thank you so much guys, this forum really has been a lifesaver for difficult problems and I really appreciate everyone’s help.

I've got a quick question about keeping a log sheet for the questions i missed. Should I only input the questions I miss after BR? i'm assuming the answer is yes? but if not, please drop some quick wisdom on me, thanks!

I feel that I can only spend 2 hours on CC materials per day, though I do have more time to work on it. I just feel that after 2 hours of CC learning, I can't really concentrate on it anymore....

And it is 95 hours in total, which kinda kills me... Right now I only completed 18%. Thanks god that JY is quite humorous~

Hi guys,

I wrote the January exam, and it looks like I am going to write it again. I plan on writing it in September 2020. I am also looking for a job on the side, preferably part-time. If I cannot find anything part time, I was planning to go for full-time. I realized that I have been studying the wrong way for a while now. I was also pressuring myself a lot. I would like to restart everything again, and i want to take the slow and steady wins the race approach.

This is the strategy that I have in mind:

  • Perfect the CC (Mainly focusing on the weak areas- (2-3 months)
  • Untimed Practice Tests (1-2 months)
  • Timed Practice test. Start by doing one section after another (1-2 months).
  • I wanted to know that is this a good study plan ?

    I believe that this method would work well with a part-time job. But if I end up landing a full-time job, would it also work ? Or should I write it after September ?

    Lastly, is there a tutor or someone I can privately speak to in regards to study strategies ?

    I would really appreciate it :)

    Thanks

    over a year and a half of on and off studying and I'm finally done. The content here is super helpful, esp the LG and LR videos, and the new thing where you can make a custom made problem set. also thanks to all the people who post a lot and spread a really positive attitude.

    156 after cc -> 166 jan 2019 -> 169 july 2019 -> 172 jan 2020 (curious as to what the breakdown was. I'll never know). a lot of ups and downs. wait till your PT score is where you want it to be before you sign up for a retake. take breaks. keep a journal. believe you can improve and find your weaknesses. find a strategy and stick to it

    be more specific about where and how you are missing questions when you make posts asking for advice (this forces you to understand why you're dropping Qs.). take some more breaks. do something while you watch LG videos like yoga or stretching or clean.

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if there are available past recorded webinars and how to access them? I’ve done a search within the forum and see there were numerous webinars, but no links to access them, just the original links to sign up.

    Any direction on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
