Hello!

During BR, videos over RC passages keep stuttering/lagging. I thought that this was because of the length of the videos, but it seems to do it even during the shorter RC review videos. Ive tried different browsers to no avail. Additionally, LR and LG videos run just fine, every time.

Is anyone else encountering this?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted some advice with LR pacing. Currently in a 35 minute time section, I can attempt about 21-23 questions. My score is usually between 14-19 correct, with my BR between 21-25. My goal is I want to be able to get through all the questions (maybe even have some extra time to review questions as I do for LG/RC) and score about 20 correct.

To do so, recently I have been focusing on polishing my ability of reading/breaking down/controlling the stimulus. However, two thinks I do want to improve on but not sure how to do so is:

  • How to skip a question: Do folks have a skipping strategy? Like how did you decide when to skip question? Was it based on the difficulty of stimulus language/you losing focus/etc.? How did you train yourself to implement it?
  • How to not get caught up in an attractive AC: How did you train yourself to evaluate each AC individually regardless of how bad you think the language is? I know there are some terrible looking ACs, but however the LSAT plays to them as the right answer. I just feel many a times a preface an answer choice and go into the question and get caught into it.
  • Any advice and thoughts would be super appreciated….

    Thanks

    #help I'm trying to take a digital test on my iPad and it is not working. I have tried going through the app and safari/chrome. I click on "print and take test" then "next" then "take preptest # (digital tester beta)" and nothing happens, no loading screen or anything. It's working on my laptop, but not on my iPad. I'm currently running software 9.3.5.

    I’d like to change my LSAC profile address to my mailing address (it’s currently my parents’ which I use as my permanent address). However, my driver’s licence says my parent’s. Will this be an issue when I present photo ID on LSAT day? Thank you!

    Hi guys,

    I joined 7Sage in June but was with Kaplan for about a year. I’ve taken practice tests 36-66 already. I just finished the core curriculum and I’m not sure which timed PTs I should take. My test is in Nov and I’m worried if I take 67+ PT that I’ll run out of tests way before my actual tests. Should I just retake 36-66 and then continue on with 67+ or should I just start focusing on 67+? Please help!

    So this is really silly, but it's starting to become a problem for me. I started to study for the LSAT in February and have been avg out about 5 hours daily every day. I'm mostly drilling right now and the LSAT practice test I took I scored 164 (I am aiming for a 168-169).... I'm still studying about 5hrs untill I take it in Oct.

    Does anyone have advice on how to not get sleepy while studying? I'm well rested, but I think at this point I am kind of bored and maybe that is making me sleepy... it's just really annoying trying to study and my eyes just closing on me every five minutes! Has anyone else experience this? This is so dumb but I don't know what to do!!!!

    Hello,

    I'm wanting to retake some of my PTs a few months after I took them originally to make sure my BRing stuck.

    Is there a way to take a digital PT for the second time without losing the info from the first take? Is there a way to omit the score of the second take from my overall 7sage analytics? I know it will be inflated so I do not want it to be counted officially in 7sage analytics.

    Many thanks!

    I have been studying for about 2 months and I am currently averaging around 164-165 on prep tests but my blind review scores are 174-175. I am consistently going -0/-2 on LR and -4/-5 on RC but LG can be anywhere from -4/-11. But in blind review I go -1/-2 in every section. I have only taken like 4 prep tests and my scores have been 158, 161, 163, 165. How should I go about closing the gap as quickly as possible specifically in regard to LG aside from just rewatching the core curriculum videos?

    Hi guys,

    I was just wondering how do you mark or circle the lines in RC on a tablet. When i was doing passages on paper i always circle or underline the key words i think is important so is it the same way in tablet?

    I am having difficulty choosing whom to ask for a letter of recommendation. I know that letters of recommendation should focus on academics, however I have been out of school for a little over three years. Also, the professor that I developed a close relationship with is head of the theater directing department, a feild in which I am no longer pursuing a career. Alternatively, while in undergrad I was part of the student government and spent 20+ hours a week working closely with the staff advisor of the student government on school policy, writing bids, financial matters, ect. (areas more closely related to law). I am still in contact with this advisor. Unfortunately this person was never one of my professors. Should I ask both for a letter of recommendation from both or should I pick one over the other? If so, which one?

    I also currently work in a law office and plan to ask one or two of the attorneys that I work with closely for a letter of recommendation.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi y'all,

    Thanks to those in advance who respond, these discussion forums and people's experiences have been pivotal in my success and progress.

    I began my LSAT studies around late March and found 7sage at the beginning of April. I quickly switched and committed to JY's genius and this system. I've been studying around 45-50 hours a week (some days over 10, some days around 6-7 cause of work). I took my first timed digital test 5 days ago (and first timed test period) and hit 169. I then took another 2 days ago after comprehensive blind review and watching every dang explanation of the previous test, and hit 175. At this point I'm really ambivalent. I'm taking the test in October and want to aim for the 180 and not become too comfortable for fear of hitting below like 175-6 or something but I'm also beginning to feel the wear and tear. I've finally seen the fruits of my labor but know that, while I could, it might be counter-productive do this every single day until the end of October. After a month or so without a day off, I feel like taking a day or so helps with the next two weeks, but I never know WHEN or HOW to do this. When I'm not studying all I do is think about the test and I just want to study. How have you high scorers known when and how to pace yourself about 2.5 months before an exam? I know I'm really close, but refuse to take in September (NOT A MORNING PERSON)- so October is my bet to have apps ready early enough.

    Hi all! My CAS GPA is a 3.49. I just finished my degree this summer, and I'm applying this fall (planning to have apps submitted by late October/early November). I haven't taken the LSAT yet, but I've been consistently score in the mid/high 170s on all practice tests (highest score 177). If I do get around a 175 in September, what are my chances for admission at a T14 school realistically? Most of the splitter info I've seen was regarding numbers closer to 3.0-3.3 GPA and 170-172 LSAT, and nothing closer to my numbers. Also, another question, what is considered a safe school for a splitter? At schools where my GPA is the median, my LSAT is usually far above the 75th percentile, so I'm not sure where I should be aiming for safe schools. Thanks in advance!

    Additional info about my low GPA (some will be included on apps in an addendum):

  • My degree is a BS in Physics from UCLA.
  • I finished my degree in 3 years instead of 4.
  • My GPA increased each year: 3.05 first year, 3.5 second year, 3.75 third year
  • I worked part-time during the majority of my first and second years.
  • Other application materials I'll be including:

  • Recommendation letters from a UCLA law school professor, a professor from my major, a non-major professor, and current employer (depending on how many I can submit to each school, of course)
  • Resume detailing previous part-time work, current full-time work, and volunteer leadership position I've held for over a year
  • Hopefully killer personal statement (I'm a good writer, but I don't have any particularly exceptional life experiences/struggles to discuss)

    Was gonna register for October LSAT but found out that no test centers available in NYC now and have to submit a waitlist...Is LSAC gonna add more test centers? Is anyone having the same issue as me? Should I submit waitlist now or should I come back on a later date?

    Hey everyone! rather than buying a $500 surface pro tablet to take PT's on, i've been searching for a cheaper, effective alternative. Preferably a tablet in the $100-$200 range that is compatible with google chrome (for 7sage of course) and meets the same screen specifications (10 Inches). If anyone has found a substitute or has any suggestions, please don't be shy!

    thanks!

    Is it recommended to take the unclosed test? Am aiming to get into the 2020 session into the University of Toronto, so was planning to do the October test , so I had two more chances to take repeats for a better score. Any suggestions?

    Hi all,

    I've been studying for a little over 7 months but I've always had trouble with Sufficient Assumption and Pseudo Sufficient Assumption questions. I get them right a lot of the time but it takes forever, and writing out the lawgic often makes it worse for me.

    I don't think JYs method works for me very well. I understand the principles of lawgic but I have a lot of trouble when the logic chains they present use slightly different subjects/are not worded in the same way. It's also really easy for my brain to get it all jumbled.

    Anyone else have this issue? What worked for you?

    Are there other methods for approaching these outside of writing out logic chains that can work?

    Hi,

    The LSAC CAS instructions are incredibly confusing. I'm wondering if anyone has an answer to this.

    I began grad school at Imperial College London in Sept. 2018. I have finished the program, although I won't have my final marks or technically receive a degree until November. In one month, I am beginning a second MA degree at University of Edinburgh. Do I need to request/upload either of these transcripts (even if they are partially complete)? Both are graduate degree programs at international institutions.

    Thank you!

    Hi all,

    While the majority of the schools I will be applying to this fall allow a résumé between 1-3 pages, or have no limit at all, there are a few which have a strict 1 page, 12 pt font requirement. Any tips or suggestions on how to pare down the finalized 2 page résumé I have in to a 1page one for those few schools? I would appreciate any input on what should be cut and what should be highlighted with such limited space.

    Thanks!
