As I am submitting applications, I've been reading and re-reading my essays. I read somewhere about a text to speech app that will read aloud your essays. It has helped me enormously. What my eye reads and what my ear hears is different. I use an app called SpeakLine. It has caught minor but significant errors (eg. statue vs. statute). Just letting you guys know!

What is going with the LR section? I can't see the answer and explanation.. can someone explain this?

So I just got 7Sage, however I've been studying for the LSAT for a few months now off and on. I have taken probably ~17 PTs (most of them being pre PT35) and gone through the powerscore Logic Games book as well the Logical reasoning book (didn't find that helpful).

My question is should I put my Practice Tests on hold until I've completed the Core Curriculum? I've only gone through a few units of it so far, but I'm already changing my strategies and seeing new ways to tackle problems.

It seems like it would be a waste to use some of my practice tests before being as ready as I can be from a strategies stand point.

Any input would be appreciated, Thanks!

Can someone explain why it's c and not Be? I narrowed it to b and c but chose B because Arg doesn't state that Janson was murdered in his office. I'm

Have only taken 1 PT in the 80s. Have taken some in the 70s and they seem slightly harder than the 60s and before that. Is there a difference between 70s and 80s, though?

Im considering buying extra "newer" tests to practice on.

Input appreciated.

Thanks.

I am taking the train into Boston to take the LSAT. Its about an hour way from me. What am I supposed to do with my cell, keys, wallet, etc?? Are there lockers?? I cannot navigate Boston without a cellphone. HELP

I just did a question today where usually = most.

e.g. "Kate usually buy juice on Wednesday" --- Wednesday most buy juice

Can I always translate usually to most? Was this mentioned in the CC?

Hi. because PT 88 LG was so tough, i decided to have every best explanation available possible for obtaining

best possible understanding.

so i bought starter pack (the only one I can afford) plus PT 88 extension last month

BEFORE JY made big announcement of 7 Sage cannot no longer offer such services of LG videos.

but the 7 Sage policy is after November 15, all 7-sage LG videos will be gone unless premium or higher paid users.

would i able to see 7 sage official video explanations at all for LG of PT EXTENSIONS of PT 88 solutions prior to November 15th?

also, what happens to those people who bought starter pack like my situation, who bought before JY made an announcement with extension of each Prep Test? would LG for purchased PT Extensions such as PT 87 or 86 will be available?

LSAC said that they would allow test takers to adjust the tablet stand at any angle except straight up(which I think is 90 degrees). Previously you could only tilt it 30 degrees. They made this change to better help avoid glare.

Was your experience In October where you could adjust the tablet stand at any angle? Was that more helpful in avoiding glare? Thanks

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone knows if law schools actually take 6-8 weeks to get back to you with decisions? I've been waiting a total of 48 hours and I'm already going crazy lol

Has anyone else had technical issues with the highlight function and text size/wrapping when taking PTs using the Digital Tester lately? The Digitial Tester used to work flawlessly for me, but about the time my iPad Air (3rd Gen.) updated to iOS13, I started having the following issues:

For reference, I am using an iPad Air (3rd Gen.) running iOS 13.1.3. I've tried running the Tester on both Safari and Chrome, but it doesn't make a difference. Likewise, force refreshing and clearing the browser's cache didn't help either. Again, the Tester used to work flawlessly and the only thing I can really think of that might have changes on my end was a software update. Aside from that, I am completely stumped, so I am curious to know if anyone has found a work-around for this problem (aside from using another device).

They are not working for me!!

Hi all,

I feel so honored being able to finally make a post like this but damn does it feel good!

I got my score back from the October Asia test today and got a 174!

This is my personal best. I scored a 164 on the June test and had several 169s and one 173. Looks like I peaked on test day!

I never took a true diagnostic but scored a 153 untimed when I took the June 2007 test before beginning my journey. Guessing it would’ve been in the 140s timed?

I have so many people to thank for supporting me, but I especially want to give a big shout out to:

@"Lucas Carter" @"Cant Get Right", Rav, Alex divine, Jon Denning from powerscore, Ellen Cassidy from Loophole, and the Jedi master himself, JY

This community has been so supportive and helpful throughout my 1.5 year journey. I’ve met so many wonderful people. I really couldn’t have done it without the 7sage community!

Some tips and info for posterity:

I used 7sage and the Loophole for my prep. The LSAT trainer did not help me that much. I think combining the Loophole and 7sage methods helped me get to -1/-2 averages on LR, sometimes even -0.

@"Cant Get Right" method on skipping and moving on when you hit a certain expected value prediction helped me limit time wasted.

reviewing the common flaws daily on quizlet, with LSAT question examples, helped me quickly identify flaws and not waste any time

doing half a section of timed LR sections daily, from sections I have already done (odd questions one day then even questions the next) helped drill pacing, skipping, and my LR approach.

deep dive BR and then thoroughly reviewing, setting questions I just didn’t really get aside in a binder and then revisiting until I got them

practicing translating RC passages into my own words and then being very strict with my POE process in the questions: eliminate inaccurate ACs and picking the ones that required the least assumptions

repeating “be sensitive to the support” as a mantra on every LR question so that I would stay disciplined and attack the gap rather than the premises or conclusions

Lastly, worry about getting good before getting fast!

Best of luck everyone!

Hi

I know it's very last minute since applications are due in 4 hours. But is anyone willing to take a quick glance at my personal statement and provide feedback? I wanted some last and final feedback before submitting the applications.

Thanks in advance

Quick question: Should professors use our first names in LORs or is that considered too informal? @help

Hello! I'm in the home stretch of studying and looking on how I perform on RC sections, the only questions I continue to get wrong are the Main Point q's and analogy questions. Does anyone have any general tips for these two, specifically?

For example on the analogy questions, I often get down to 2 AC's but there is some nuance I miss that leads me to narrow it down but often choose the wrong one. Same for the MP questions.

Sorry if this is vague or often-answered, just been seeing a pattern and I can't seem to shake it

I have been studying LSAT for 7-8 months, although had just recently joined 7sage and realized how much I have progressed in Logic reasoning. I am now more structured and can breakdown LR question pretty well. However when it comes to answer choices, I tend to pick the most tempting answer choice for the 1st round! I am most of time able to pick the correct answer during blind review. e.g. I would miss 6-8 in one section in 1st try, and miss only 2-3 during BR.

Can anyone offer comments on how I can close this gap? Thank you in advance!

I took a testing here, and I have to say, it was very well done. We were placed only a few people per table, so every other chair was left empty and every other row was empty, too. They divided us up into three separate, smaller rooms. I think fewer people in each class room really helped keep the rooms quieter. Their chairs were super comfy, and the temperature was perfect. Would recommend!

Hi

I am currently scoring 160~ and looking for a study partner who is scoring around the same and wants to have an online study group?

Please let me know asap!

Does anyone know of a resource (or just have examples off the top of your head) that has info on good schools that are likely to offer large scholarships. I have a 3.69 GPA with a 168 on the LSAT in September (retaking in November and hoping to break 170) with fairly strong work experience, but given my careers goals I'm thinking I may be better off trying to get a really good scholarship at a very good but not elite school rather than hoping to sneak into the bottom part of the T-14 somewhere. My understanding for example is that WUSTL often offers full rides, but I'm having trouble finding good info if there are other schools in that general range that will frequently hand out big amounts of money. If so, would be great to try and apply to as many of them as possible. Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

Hi 7Sage community ,

I joined the community to have access to the games videos that were going to be taken down but I swear I read somewhere on this site that we would need Premium and up once they are removed. Unfortunately I can't seem to find where I read that to verify. Can anyone confirm that premium is needed?

Thank you :)

I am a bit worried because I have studying rediculously hard for logic games and I hear that they might be on the cutting room floor? Any chance that it might be come november? Its my best section.

Hi guys,

I am looking for a tutor for the LG section, in particular, for MISC games. If anyone thinks that is their strong point, or if anyone knows someone where that is the case, please DM me.

Thanks so much!

Hey guys! Need some help on study strategy! This is the classic panicked rant of a desperate man but at this point I'll try anything to improve lmao.

I'm taking the November LSAT in just under a month and am scoring consistently in the mid-160's. My last five PT's ordered sequentially from first to last have been: 167, 165, 160, 164, and 164 respectively. I would love to break into that upper 160's/low 170's zone as quickly as possible as test day is getting closer but it seems I can't quite get everything to come together at once.

My LR averages around -5, and RC is averaging around -3. Previously my LG was always around -10 but I really targeted that, as it's supposed to be the easiest section on which to improve. Today I got my LG down to -3, but LR went up to about -15 total... Does anyone have any advice on what my next steps should be? I don't seem to consistently get any one type of question wrong. All the questions I get wrong seem to just be higher in difficulty. I want to be extremely clinical and precise with my study habits over the next week as test day approaches, so if you've got any advice that would be huge! Thanks! :)
