I am currently going through the CC doing about half of the problem sets (the rest I was told to save for drilling) untimed. I want to fully grasp the fundamentals but I am worried that I am answering the questions too slowly. Does time become less of an issue by the time you finish the CC?
Dear all,
I am taking the test in three weeks and have finished the first 70 PTs. It is fairly reasonable to say that I will need to retake in March. In that case, should I burn out the latest PTs, or should I save them for the future?
Thanks so much!!
Hello,
I had a quick question regarding transcripts; before transferring to the university I am currently attending, I attended a different one. Do I have to send the transcripts from both institutions or will the transcripts from my current university be fine?
Thank you in advance!
Hi everyone! is there anyone in the greater Houston area that would like to study together??
Does anyone happen to have a list of all the comparative passages? (Ex, PT 57, Passage 3). I want to drill them and was hoping someone had a list. Sincerely, someone feeling lazy.
Hi!
I'm aiming for a 170+ in June/July 2019. Please comment or DM if you'd like to study together!
Update as of 1/7/2019: I have an iMessage group of 3 people going! Feel free to join us!
Anyone have any information about patent law? I just recently stumbled upon it and I want to gain more information on it. Anyone here pursuing patent law or know anything about it?
Hi,
I am looking for a tutor who can help me get to where I need to be for my LSAT in 3 weeks.
My last LSAT score from Oct was 167, and I have been getting -2 to -4 for LG in my PTs. I am ashamed to say that LG is my current worst section since I have been scoring -1 to -2 for my RC and -2 to -3 for my LRs.
**I need to get to -0 to -1 for my LG in three weeks' time.**I am dedicated to this goal in terms of time and work.
My LG actually worsened as my other sections improved and I probably have became accustomed to some bad habits and faulty techniques. If you are confident you could help me, please DM me.
Time zone: gmt +11
Thanks!!
Hey 7Sagers,
We're posting on behalf of a 7Sager. They would like to get advice from you!
For some reason on my first PT I got 20/27 on reading comprehension. Now every single time I take a PT I'm getting between 12-16.
I usually finish without enough time to read and answer the last questions for the last passage - any tips on how I can fix this.
Additionally, I feel like if I get say 12/23 on logic games or 17/23 I get the same score. Is the test designed to be more difficult in certain sections on certain tests? I have been consistently getting 152, and I'm hoping to get a 156.
Hi all,
From what I understand, Powerscore and 180 watches are no longer permitted on test day. However, does anyone know if we are allowed to place our permitted analog watch on our desk during our exam, or must the watch be worn instead?
Wearing the watch is quite cumbersome and (for me at least) makes resetting the time to 12:00 between sections a bit awkward.
Thanks for any help, folks!
I noticed that I have been struggling with In/Out games. Therefore, I’m specifically targeting fool proofing these types of games. The plan is to go from easy, medium, and hard. I’ve done Prep Test 24,29,48,54,63 game 1’s and get all of those in 5 mins or less and it didn't even take me 4 try's. However, I’ve been struggling with Prep Test 36 game 1. I’ve watched JY’s video for it a number of times, and I have attempted the game at least 5 times.I'm still getting only 1-3 right, I know the answers of the others but I'm having a hard time understanding how they are right, and finding why them on my own (4-6). Any tips on understanding specifically 4 and 5?

Hi Everyone,
I’m currently studying for the June exam and have been working through the reading comprehension section to improve my score. I am currently averaging four wrong on this section. However, logic games is my strength. I have had much success with hard games such as the virus, dinosaur, and stain glass windows.
I’m looking for a study partner who’s strength leans more towards reading comprehension. I can help you with logic games so we can get very good at both sections together. Please PM me if you are interested.
Thanks!
Joe Jamail was a beast. I watched this video and am now ready to become the next King of Torts and the first brick wall I plan on walking through is the LSAT.

I am unable to fully comprehend this question and cannot materialize it into an example involving actual numbers (this question seems like a math question to me). Is anyone able to help using examples? Thank you!

Is prep test 75 less of a representation of the difficulty of the most recent tests? I found it easier than 78,79,80 and 81. But, that could be because I am taking them in reverse order. I took 81, 80, 79, 78, then jumped to 75 and I found 75 easier. I know test before 72 were really easy, so I'm wondering if I got a better score due to improvement or because earlier tests in the 70-75 range are easier?
I just started foolproofing the LG Games Bundle and want to give my self 2 months tops to complete it. I plan on taking the March LSAT and spending at least 1 month for my PT cycle (2-3 weeks of that month at 3 PTs/week + BR). I want to start PTing mid February at 1/PT per week, then move on to 2 PTs/week and then 3PT/week the last two weeks before the exam. I will be studying full-time for 2-3 weeks before the exam. I am in school and focusing on foolproofing the bundle (Pacifico's Method) in January and February.
Any tips on how to accomplish:
I have Ultimate +. Scored a diagnostic in the 140s early Dec 2018. Struggled with LG games. Average to meh in LR and RC. Break until Jan 1. Rebooted Studying and now working on LG Bundle.
Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If you're taking the January 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.
based on my diagnostic, how long can i expect to acheive my goal of PT consistently in 174 + range ?
hi all,
1)so while realistically speaking, my goal is to shoot for the highest score possible, my dream score would be 172 plus. given that I am able to put in 4-6 hours of studying 6 days a week, how many months might pt-ing in the 174 +range take to ensure that I can score 172 on test day? I don't plan on applying to take the test until at least November 2019, and my diagnostic was 140.
thank you!
Hi 7sagers,
After a solid month-long break from studying, I am ready to dive back into LSAT prep. However, before I begin I’d like to seek some advice. I originally was aiming toward taking the exam this month (January) but I am definitely not ready. My new goal is to improve enough for the June LSAT. I need to increase my score by about 13-18 points. What study habits do you recommend? Are there any study schedule templates you suggest? How should I go about studying week-to-week? (ex. should I start the week with a practice exam and then blind review it the rest of the week, or just do practice questions each day, or do 1 section a day, etc) What should I focus on?
I thank you in advance and appreciate whatever input you have to offer.
Thank you guys!

Most videos including one below show a chart : where is the complete chart
Is there a difference between these two terms via status checker? Or do the mean the same thing at different schools? At some schools my application has gone under review just a few days after submitting. At other schools I have been on "complete" for weeks. And I'm wondering if they have even started reviewing my application.
I've been going through 7Sage's explanation for logic games and I noticed JY uses slots instead of columns. I previously took another LSAT course and they used columns for sequencing games.
I'm kinda habitually stuck always going back to columns. I was wondering what benefit there is to use the slots opposed to columns?
For those of you that use the slots, what benefit do you see? Is it faster/neater? Do you prefer that method to columns?
Hi Everybody,
Everything you read says that the earlier you apply to schools, the more likely it is that you will be accepted and the 7Sage Predictor continuously reduces your chances of acceptance with each passing month; however, I am wondering what you guys think regarding how much the timeliness of your application submission matters. I am running a little behind getting my applications in because of some issues with my transcript, and I'm starting to get nervous that because I am sending my application in late will cause me to be rejected.
My highest and most recent LSAT is a 171 (but I do have 2 other scores that are significantly lower) and my GPA is a 3.83. I am a non-URM and have been working as a paralegal since my graduation from NYU in May 2015. I would say that my background and softs are basically average. Berkeley is my first choice - but I'm very worried that my late application will keep me from getting a seat. Looks like it is going to be a very close call. Any thoughts?
Thank you!!
what time do most people arrive at the test center? when is it recommended to arrive at the test center?
do the doors open or close at 830am?
is there any disadvantage to being the last person in the room? I would assume one would try to be one of the last persons because you can wait till the very end to use the bathroom (because once you get in the room, you can't use bathroom)?
once you are in the room, are you assigned a specific desk, or do you choose it freely? is there any disadvantage of being one of the last persons in the room (where you're like given the worst desk?)
Approximately what time do they start passing out test booklets and filling in bubbles? when does the 1st section usually begin?
sorry for the many questions! thank you!!
