I have two weeks and I feel so under prepared and anxious about this test. Good news is I’m taking it early so if need be I can retake it. Anyone else had limited study time? Any tips?

Hi everyone, i'm new to 7Sage and wanted to ask if there is a limit on how many copies we can print of the same PT?

Hello friends,

I was stuck on this question for a long time, trying to figure out what is going on. In the end, I think I got my head around it. Can someone check my work please?

The conclusion : To protect public from erroneous info ---------> Medical Research Findings are public.

It seems like:

Conclusion : C ---> A

The answer choice (A) seems to say B ---> A, which is the missing link. Then everything chains up nicely.

C----->B (-----) A.

Am I stretching what the actual words are saying to fit them into the clean logical chain?

Please help me :(

Hi,

From January to March 2019 I studied using 7sage and ended up with a 169 on the March 2019 LSAT (which was a huge improvement over my Sept 2018 score of 157). I am extremely happy with my score, but decided to retake in July.

I have not studied in a month and a half, so these next two months I want to be as effective as possible. As of now I am planning to do roughly a practice test a week, followed by blind review, as well as fool proofing for logic games.

Any advice on how I can achieve this last bit of progress?

Also, how helpful is filming your prep test?

Thank you

Hi everyone! I have consistently read that the recommenders should be academic but can be work related if you have been out of school for some time. I graduated undergrad in the year of 2015. Now that I have been out of school for 4 years, I have been working, starting as a barista and am now the General Manager to one of the top stores in the company. I am planning to have two of my previous professors write letters of recommendations, however some people have mentioned that I should have the CEO of my company write a letter, considering he hand picked me to run the store that I am currently working at. I am unsure if asking him is the right thing to do. I am not one to name drop (not that his name is huge) but that is how I feel it would be if I asked him for a LOR. I am convinced the two professors I have chosen will be able to write about my strong academia and talent that I presented through the classes I took. Any thoughts? Am I too far out from college to be focusing more on finding a work reference?

I think I am FINALY done with my essay! Its taken me so long to finish it. I've reworked it so many times and had so many things to write about but I think I'm finally done. So far I have a good friend and a lawyer friend reading it. I will also probably have someone from David Busis' team read it. Is that enough? Should I ask more people for more comments and critiques? What have you guys done? I just need it to be perfect. Thanks.

Can anyone help me out with some good study techniques for tackling the Logic Games section???? Should I start by practicing the initial setup and then tackle the types of questions after???? This is by far my worst section for the test.

Thanks!!

Hi,

Is there a way to open up all the Blind Review fields with only 1 button press? Currently, I am individually clicking on the 100 question numbers before I can enter the Blind Review score.

My hunch tells me that this is supposed to be B-->A.

However, my buddy tells me that this is A-->B, which also sounds right.

I have another buddy who tells me that this is A(--)B because

(1) A accompanies B is B-->A

(2) Always is a sufficiency indicator, which means A-->B; ergo, A(--)B

In case you guys are wondering, this is PT51 Section 3 Number 20 Choice (A). This has nothing to do with the answer, but I still want to know :)

Could you guys help me with this?

l struggle with conditional phrases that include the word "or" and how to use them in a chain. l remembered learning about "or" in the truth tables and went back there, but is there somewhere else we learned about "or" that was more specific to chaining phrases?

The problem that reminded me today is from PT 36 (fruit stand).

Any thoughts or advice on:

Thanks!

Hi,

The title says it. To put into numbers, here are recent PTs I did.

PT75 RC: -6/-5(BR)

PT73 RC: -5/-3(BR)

PT76 RC: -7/-4(BR)

PT77 RC: -6/-6(BR)

I started preparing for LSAT about 10 weeks ago. My diagnostic with PT72 was RC: -4/-6(BR). I don't really see improvement.

I am going to write June 2019 test. Should I just forget about RC in the last 3 weeks of study?

Thanks.

Hi! I'm wondering if any high scorers have any tips for me during this final stretch of studying to sit on June 3. I've always felt fairly comfortable with RC in general (not that it's easy, but it doesn't freak me out), and I've gotten to (-1) or (-2) on each passage. The problem is when the 5-minute warning comes, I've only just begun the final passage. I never feel like I'm getting bogged down or struggling during the first three. I feel like I'm doing fine, kicking butt, but clearly I'm NOT because in order to finish the final passage I'd have to give myself 5 extra minutes, which of course, will never be an option during the real test. I know the wisdom claims that timing is never the real issue - that it's just a function of not being at the right level of understanding. OK, fine. So what should I do over these next few weeks? Take a ton of timed RC sections and BR them? Take some timed RC sections where I only complete 3 passages and strive for (-0)? Take some untimed RC sections? Please advise!! Thanks in advance :)

I'm planning on starting the prep ASAP and taking the test in Sep/Oct. Is it recommended that I first go through the free trial and take a diagnostic test or should I just start with the course?

I’m going back to untimed RC drill, and am wondering if I should follow CC or just do sections.

Either way I’ll do four passages, but I haven’t done any problem sets.

So far I’ve drilled by section after CC, and am done with RC from PT1-11.

What’s the criteria for the RC problem sets? Is there a benefit to doing CC problem sets?

I was put on the waitlist at colorado and they told me they would probably not give me feedback until july. I was told 2 weeks later that their class is full and I am not longer on waitlist. Do they put applicants on the waitlist before reviewing applications? also, does a rejection off the waitlist mean I could have a better chance of admission next year if I apply early? I applied april 20th. Will my chances be better or the same if I reapply early next cycle?

This is completely subjective, but from your experience what are some of the hardest sections you have encountered? I want my to test myself on the most difficult the LSAT has to offer. For example, I felt the Logic Game section for Test Prep A was tough as was the Reading Comp for 38.

Hi everyone! I’m retaking the LSAT and reading comp is by far my hardest section to improve on. I used the 7 sage curriculum and in the process developed my own strategy. I wanted to share to see if it’s helpful or if I’m doing this all wrong.

I basically read each paragraph and underline the main idea in each paragraph before moving to the next. At the end I do a quick scan of all the underlined main ideas.

I find it’s helpful to do this in order to track the general thread in the passage and I can do the low resolution summaries in my head.

Is this wasting time and I should eventually do it in my head?

If you're taking the June 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 meeting with a professor on short notice who offered me a rec letter. He wants me to come in with 3-4 points I'd like him to touch on in the letter. Any ideas for what should be included?

I don't know if I'm just getting worse at the LR timed sections or if the LR sections have changed, so this is normal. I was scoring -1 to -4 in the 30s.

Test 40: -6; BR:-2 and -9; BR -3

Test 43: -6; BR:-2 and -4; BR -2

Test 44: -10; BR:-3 and -6; BR -4

Test 45: -10; BR: -6 and -8; BR -1

Test 46: -8; BR -2 and -9 with BR -3

What is going on? From scoring -5 or less consistently to dropping to -10. Ugh I am so upset.

Hi all, Is anyone experiencing the same thing as I did. My videos do not play and it seems is across the board. I was unable to play the video on Quiz 3 in "finding pseudo sufficient assumption last night. I had also randomly tried other videos, and they don't play either. This morning too. Thanks,

hi guys! so i'm a rising senior at boston university (gpa: 3.33) and i had done some review on here since last summer, but i officially started studying properly the beginning of this week to sit the september test. i have the ultimate+ and i'm trying to get through the core curriculum so i can get as much practice and PTs as i can to be ready by then. i know JY and all of you say that take the lsat when you're ready and not plan around an lsat date, but i have 4 months of absolutely nothing to do but to study so i was hoping i'd be ready by september. i'm thinking of doing 25 hours a week would be good (around 5 hours a day, 6 times per week), and i'm hoping to be done with the CC by the end of june (the CC is extremely long so i have no idea how long it would take me to finish and it's really worrying me), and i'd have around 2.5 months to do PTs. do you guys think that would be doable? i did extremely bad on the diagnostic (137) so i am extremely discouraged, but i am very motivated. i want to get to 170 at some point. i know some of you are gonna say that it's a reach and that i can't improve by that much, but i was not at the best mental state when i took the diagnostic so i don't think it's what i would have scored at my best potential. what way do you guys suggest i study or split my time to reach my goal? september lsat is non-negotiable because i'm applying in the fall and i'm doing ED to northwestern. i reckon that 4 months of only LSAT studying should suffice, no? i don't work or anything this summer. any advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated! i'm really anxious about the whole thing, like i'm getting a daily anxiety attack thinking about studying and finishing on time reaching my goal. i know this is extremely lengthy so i apologize, i just needed to rant and get this off my chest, and if you made it this far into the post i thank you and any words of wisdom from you would go a long way. thanks guys!

Hi fellas,

I’ve been studying for the paper version of the LSAT and have very used to certain notation strategies for RC and LR that unfortunately cannot be done on the digital LSAC. I’m sure a lot of people are in this same boat

I’m starting this thread to ask: how are you adapting? What notation strategy do you find most intuitive?

I’ve tried: highlighting the conclusion with yellow. Underlining premises.

Nothing beats being able to circle indicators etc and drawing them back to important points though. And still can’t figure it out for RC.

Anyway, what has worked best for you? Hopefully, our collective sharing of strategies might be able help each other work through the transition!

I would like to study 15-20 hours per week and sometimes struggle to keep focused. So I created a group me Lsat accountability group if anyone is interested in joining sign up for Group Me and inbox me your number. Let's help each other meet our LSAT goals.
