I got a 167 on March 2019 test, and i got a 168 on pt 85, 169 on PT 82. I have gotten lucky a couple times and got a 171(PT 83) but thats rare. Anyone have tips on scoring in 170s consistently? For LR i get between -2 and -4, RC -4-6 and LG -2-0

So I was stuck between A and B. Had I not seen this was a 3/5 difficulty I would have chosen A without hesitation. I still choose A, but contemplated B quite a bit.

Can someone please explain how A is wrong and B is correct?

Thank you.

I am having difficult time differentiating the following two types of question:

(1) Which one of the following could be a complete listing of the planes located in the four areas at noon, with each plane listed in every area in which it is located?

(2) Which one of the following is a compelte and accurate list of those planes any one o fwhich could be within area T at noon?

(1) asks to find a hypothetical world, where as (2) asks to find all the variables that can be at the area T at noon.

After reading several times, I finally get what each statement is asking for, but is there any easier way of detecting such types?

Thank you in advance!

So, I've done the Trainer and the LG Bible. I use the Trainer's notation system, but I use the Bible's strat in terms of inferences. I can map 95% of games and rules with ease. I understand just about everything JY does on the games explanations. And I implement some of his material when fool-proofing. I still miss about 1 question per game and am around 10 or 11 mins per game for the medium-hard and up games.

My question is: Would the LG curriculum be worth the time for me? Or should I just drill? I'm trying to maximize my study time obvi.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,

Who's in DC and looking to meet in-person to study and br for the July LSAT?

Please, drop a comment!

If you're taking the July 2019 LSAT and your account is inconveniently set to expire a few days before the test date, you can get a free 14-day extension from this page: https://classic.7sage.com/free-extension/

For those of you who are expiring after, good luck on the LSAT! We here at 7Sage are rooting for you.

I am interested in doing family or criminal law in DC. However, I have a full ride to any California public law school due to Calvet. Should i just apply within California and hope to find a job in DC later to graduate with no debt or should I apply to DC schools and take on loans?

LSAC has posted its fall 2019 recruitment forums at https://www.lsac.org/lawschoolforums. Put on your best business casual and attend one or two.

• Forums are an opportunity for candidates to meet with admissions officers and school representatives (sometimes current students, alumni, or faculty) from a variety of law schools in one place.

• It is a chance to ask questions that might not be answerable on a law school’s website.

• Candidates can ask specific questions about their particular situation (“how would School X react to 6 LSAT scores??”)

• It is a chance to collect business cards, establish a connection with an admissions officer, and show enthusiasm for a school.

• It is a chance to get on the school’s radar and mailing list as an interested prospective student. You can look forward to receiving fee waivers and invitations to other prospective student events in the fall.

Referencing specific conversations and connections from forums in personal statements or future LOCIs may strengthen an application. Be prepared to ask a few smart questions and make a strong impression. This is prime recruitment season for admissions officers and they are on the lookout for good future students.

When I first began the course, I blind reviewed the standard way (wrote out explanations for circled questions, input my blind review answers of the entire test, then looked over explanations for any trouble questions). Now, I have gotten into the habit of blind reviewing a section, inputting my blind review answers for that specific section, and then going over explanations (rinse and repeat 4x for each individual section). Does anyone see anything harmful with this way of BR? I have found that my current routine has helped to keep my approach to each question more fresh in my head since the BR of each test can take up to 8 hours.

Any comments/critique greatly appreciated!

From conversations with LSAC representatives at the recent NAPLA conference--

About the Digital LSAT test:

• Test takers will have a little time to practice using the provided LSAC tablet and stylus/pen on test day before the start of the actual test on test day.

• Test takers have the option to bring pencils. They will be given scratch paper to work through problems.

• The digital LSAT has a spellcheck function but it will not provide suggestions for correct spelling like a typical spellchecker.

About the typed LSAT essay:

• The retake limit for the LSAT essay section is same as the LSAT multiple choice section but law schools will only receive the last three (3) essay exams. Candidates cannot choose which essays go to the law schools.

• The LSAT essay section is not scored. Law schools receive it assess the candidate’s analytical and persuasive writing skills in a timed controlled environment. Typed essay submissions will likely receive more scrutiny from admissions committees as compared to handwritten essays in the past.

• LSAC will consider an LSAT exam "complete" when it has results from both the multiple choice and essay sections, and the results will be sent to the law schools. If, at that point, the candidate intends to retake either section of the test and wants the law school to delay their review of his file, the candidate has to inform the school directly.

• If a candidate has taken the multiple choice section of the test but not the essay section, LSAC will not send any results information to the law school.

Hi all,

I've just taken June LSAT in Seoul and had two LG sections. One of the sections had a game to decide full or routine inspection. The other game in this section was to decide something about pieces belong to Tv or Print or either... I dont remember any games from the other section. Can anyone shed light on whcih LG was the dummy?

Thanks in advance!

Hey 7sagers,

Need some advice...

Currently in my studying stage, I am in the midst of doing timed sections. When I am doing a timed section, I attempt about 19 to 21 questions and miss the rest because of time constraints. I get approximately 15-17 questions correct. However, in my BR I usually get about 21 to 23 correct.

I have read and heard from folks that when you are doing a timed LR section that you should try to train yourself and aim to do about 8-12 questions in about 10 mins. However, when I am doing my sections, at the 10 minute mark I am usually not on that mark and gets me nervous and messes me up for the rest of the section. I feel like between the first 10 questions, there is always one or two questions that are time sinks for me, but I try to stick to doing them because I know they are easier then other questions in the section (something I know I have to stop doing being because it takes up so much time).

Just wanted to know how did those who were able to get the entire section done and have time to review in the 35 mins time slot train themselves to do that? What were some skipping strategies that you developed and incorporated? Did you have certain process when you were doing a LR section? How did you train yourself in 10 mins about doing 8-12 questions? How did you get the balance between speed and accuracy?

I want to try and set up some small bench goals for me: for example from 21 questions in 35 mins to move to 23 questions and then to about 25 etc. Did you have any small stepping stones that you put into place? I am still at least a few weeks from going into full test prep phase but wanted to iron out my process before I get there.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks!

So I just finished the games CC (i did all the problem sets) I read the discussions on 7sage but didn’t see a clear cut answer. Now that I will start the bundle (1-35) should I do them by game types or just go through the Pt games?

P.S Im not even close at being good at LG

November is in the horizon

This is a technical repost but I really do need some guidance here.

Hi all,

I have been lightly studying for 2 weeks and am going to buckle down as soon as I commit to a 7sage package.

My cold PT was a 149 and I’m really looking to push myself to a 162 - 166.

This brings me to my main question/concern. Can I digest premium/ultimate+ in this time frame. And, is my test date too late as well?

I originally wanted to take October but a nondiscolsed test for me is a no go. Also I’ve read that it’s ok to take a November test as long as you apply right when you get your score.

I want the best bang for my buck here, and that’s why I’ve chosen 7sage. So is ultimate+ worth it for my time frame?

Anyone knows law schools use cumulative or degree GPA (from LSAC) for their 509 report?

Also, which GPA is more important for law schools when they review students’ application ?

Thank you!!

First thing, I want to thank anyone who replies because I know this is very long.

The problem is my score isn't where I want it to be. Here are my test breakdowns:

Original last year: 144 before CC on diagnostic

Two weeks ago: PT 63- 159 and BR 173

Two weeks ago:PT 65- 163 and BR 175

Few days ago: PT 69- 170 and BR 172

Most recent: PT 70- 164

I know I am making progress, but seeing the dip from 170 to 164 is a bit stressful. I know it was because the environment got very disruptive last minute, but still...I am very stressed. My main goal was to get into the Top 14 law schools, but I have just a 3.6 GPA. I am worried that my GPA isn't good enough for law school, but I thought maybe with a high LSAT score, I might be able to still get in.

I feel like I should be aiming for the 170, but can I even get that by July? If not July, then September? Is that too unrealistic? I am worried about taking the test in November and applying later on because of my GPA. I really want to go to the Top 14 though, so I don't know because I did sit last year's cycle out, so I don't want to delay ANOTHER year. I was really set on the Top 14 and I am looking for any advice. Thank you so much!

Below is a link to Gladwell's podcast (part 1) where he talks about his experience taking the LSAT. There's still another part to come but the pod ends up being more about him contemplating/questioning the timing constraints placed on the LSAT in particular and law school testing in general. Figured some of you would find it interesting, enjoy.

Any chance there will be another LR workshop hosted by J.Y. or someone else?

Has anyone else found that after they became accustomed to using the digital LSAT taker that their speed has increased by a noticeable amount? I'm curious if there is something about the digital tester that is helping me, or you, move along quicker on questions (especially LR). I can say initially that POE on the digital test is something I really like - specifically how easy it is to get wrong answers grayed out and out of the way.

I've been studying for 1.5 - 2 months. I should've been a lot more rigorous in my study habits, but I wasn't. I just finished the LG CC and have not begun RC's CC yet. Yesterday I finally summoned up the courage to take the 2007 preptest as my "diagnostic" and scored 156. RC was my best section even though I haven't begun studying for it at all. LR was absolutely the worst because I found myself having already forgotten most of the stuff I've learned in the CC with regards to individual question types at this point. And I also found myself freaking out about the time constrain while doing the LR section, which led me to go "screw it, I have to move on".

To be fairly honest, I feel like a weak baby and a failure right now. I feel like the time that I've spend studying for LR didn't actually matter. How do I move forward? I'm trying to find the motivation to watch the video explanation for each question that I got wrong now, but I feel defeated. Any words of advice?

EDIT: Meant to say LR was the worst section, sorry for the confusion.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has been able to foolproof RC passages in their prep journey? I was wondering if you could share some tips on how to do it and whether it has helped you improve your accuracy & time

I've been tracking and reviewing my missed questions regularly. Is it worth doing the same for questions I circled (but ultimately got right)? Or do y'all have other strategies you recommend for further cementing that correct reasoning?

So i dont want to spent over $500 to buy the go just to practice the digital lsat. Does anyone have any recommendations for cheap tablets to drill digital lsat?
