I’m going on vacation soon and there will be a 2 1/2 hour plane ride so I was thinkin I’d get some LSAT studying done. Anyway to watch the videos without WiFi?

I know uva has a 15 day turnaround for ED. Can you ED multiple law schools, like Cornell and UVA at once?

Hi, I am a mom of three kids and have been graduated from US school with a MS in Chemistry many years ago. I am studying LSAT and hoping to achieve a good score to get in my dream Law School in 2020, registered both Sept and Oct tests. I have learnt LSAT fundamentals in the last one and half month and do feel have a good understanding now, however need to significantly improve my performance with speed, or I do not get to one quarter of the section or even half of the questions in timed PT. I do feel a lot to do is to make up the training on dense material reading and be able to go through questions and answer choices quickly which I am lacking, due to being in science major and English not being my first language! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, or anyone who is interested in counseling me on and off from time to time please do contact me. Thank you very much!

Is access to the harder problem sets necessary to break into the 160s? Strongest section right now is LR (averaging -5). Thank you!

Hi, I have been here since 2015, but I am now pleasantly able to say that I do not need to extend my 7Sage account any more because I got in Canadian law schools.

I was admitted to the University of Ottawa's law school and the University of Windsor's law school. I have selected Ottawa Law over Windsor Law, and I have recently garnered a deferral of my entry into Ottawa Law by one year to finish my graduate degree in April 2020.

I will never forget JY and 7Sage community as they have always inspired me to focus on my dream and academic goals. I really appreciate it.

Thanks so much, JY and 7Sagers.

Take care and all the best!

Hey guys,

I’m particularly weak at LR and LG. My first mock test, which was the 2007 June one, I got 148 :(

Am I still suitable for LSAT? What materials u guys recommend for me to strengthen my weaknesses? Thanks

Hey friends, I'm going to be practice testing soon and I'm wondering how best to select which PTs to use. Obviously, it's not possible to complete every prep test from 36 onwards (unless you have a ton of free time and endless supplies of motivation) so it's necessary to select a few of them to practice with. Some people have recommended using the most recent 30 prep tests, others have said to choose 20-30 PTs from 36 onwards... what do you guys think? Does it really matter which ones I choose?

Also, how many PTs are we recommended to complete before formally taking the test?

History/general law especially...just felt like I was spending way more time than usual on my initial read-through.

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official July 2019 LSAT Discussion Thread.

**Please keep all discussions of the July 2019 LSAT here!**(/red)

Rules:

✅ You can identify experimental sections. 🙆‍♀️

You can say things such as the following:

❌ You can't discuss specific questions. 🙅‍♂️

You CANNOT say things such as the following:

Have fun discussing!

I usually finish all games in about 25 minutes and for harder sections, about 30 minutes. Mostly, i’d go -0 on LG but once in every 10PTs or so i’d get one wrong as a result of a stupid mistake. I find myself just sitting there for the remaining 5-10 minutes for LG not knowing what exactly to do. I also try to reread the rules and see if I wrote them down correctly, but even after that I I have time left.

What do you recommend me doing? Should I just take a deep breath, prepare myself mentally for the next sections and treat it as a mini break or is there something specific I can do to check my work?

Hello everyone, I just finsihed my first LSAT today, and the RC gave me a really hard time as usual. I officially started my course with 7sage on May 1st (2019), and according to the 7-8 PrepTest I completed, my RC can hardly reach more than 60%. I'm thinking about taking a second and probably my final LSAT in November. In the meantime, I really want to improve my RC score by being well-read. Since I'm already familiar with the skills provided in the core curriculum, it really is my level of vocabulary and grammar that is limiting my comprehension.

I'm an international student studying in Canada, and I didn't speak English four years ago. Therefore I took a year off and learned the language before I enrolled in regular university courses (3 years ago). Now as a political science major student, I have no problem getting A or A+ in senior level courses, but the RC section contains a lot of non-academic but still formal vocabularies and expression. My situation is that becaue I didn't have the time to learn English step by step (from daily conversation to professional), now I can master many convoluted political theories with excessively abstract terms, but I'm lacking some every-day vocabularies and figure of speech. However, since now I have four more months to prepare my next battle, I want to read some passages that resembles RC section every day to improve my reading speed and refine my ability to summarize and retain information. My study buddies have recommanded me to read newspapers and novels, but I also want to hear everyone's suggestion here. Thank you all very much in advance!

What do you wish you had done to prepare in hindsight?

What did the test look like? Is it displayed like the one on LSAC (somewhat similar to “fixed” rather than “fluid” on the 7 Sage beta), or something different?

Was hoping to test it today, but I got the paper-and-pencil format.

My experience with the digital format in PT is that it saves tons of time transferring and correcting answer choices, and thus, alleviating lots of stress.

Hi all,

I'm debating whether or not I should sign up for the September test. I took June (161), and I just took July. My target schools are UNC or UGA, so I believe this is close to the median lsats for either (according to LSN). I'm not sure how I did on July. I had the digital, and I feel like I didn't do too well on RC, but I also felt the same after June. I had pt scores of 163, so I know I can get a few more points, but I wanted to apply right as applications open.

I also don't know if I should sign up for September in case I did poorly on July, and if I don't need to take it again, I can just withdraw (and basically lose $200) or suck it up and take it again, delaying my applications.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

So today I took the July 2019 LSAT and was hoping to have my final romance with the paper test but its literally out with the old, in with the new.

This was not my first time taking it digital, I have taken the testing version couple years back. And compared to the one they were testing, this was definitely an improvement. What did I love about it? https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/11165

1- It was very smooth, and saved so much time because you can flag a question, eliminate it on the right side or highlight.

2- Easy to navigate from one question to another. You are on track on time because of built in timer, so bye bye all those LSAT watch industry.

3- The tablet was very responsive and you had underline, and three highlight choices which made RC so much more colorful and fun. I was able to highlight AO in one color Critic in another and it honestly isn't time consuming at all.

4- You have option to adjust the color, font, and the angle of the tablet (surface) as you like.

5- Scratch paper available for all sections, I remember when they were doing tests they only gave it for Games.

6- I had a fantastic time and honestly I am excited to retake it. (I took this one just for fun, since I can wipe out the score completely, July perks only)

So honestly guys, you are going to love it and don't be afraid of it at all! Here is my original review of it if you want more details. https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/11165

Hi guys, I took July 2019 yesterday and didn't feel as though it went too well. I think ill be writing October and I wanted to get advice on whether I should restudy certain topics, try to relearn everything but more concretely then drill and do PTs, or just do PrepTests and review them thoroughly. I have approx. 3 months. Let me know your thoughts or feel free to pm me with any experiences similar to mine.

Thank you guys!!!

Hi I'm registering for the LSAT right now on LSAC and I was wondering how important it was to purchase those 'packages' they offer. Like this one: "Six-report package — includes one LSAT, one LSAT Writing, CAS, and six Law School Reports remove

Please note that purchasing this package does not automatically register you for the LSAT.

You will still need to register for the LSAT separately after submitting your payment."

It's a bit pricy and want to waste money as it is literally 650 dollars for the six package report.

I tell all of my students to do exactly what I did after each time I took the LSAT.

I wrote down my takeaways about the whole experience – the things that went well, the things that I didn’t anticipate and wanted to prepare for next time, and anything else I want to be aware of and improve upon.

As much as you can simulate your PTS to be like the real thing, there’s just something about going to an official exam. Whether it’s dealing with proctors, the air in the room, nerves getting to you, or, of course, the substance of the test questions.

I took the LSAT three times. Each time I wrote down my takeaways in a place where I could access them regularly. For me it was my iPhone in the notes section, for you maybe it’s someplace else. But use that information to prepare for your next take. I used the time before my next exam to replicate the things that went well and problem solve the things that needed to be improved.

Ideally, this will be your last take, but in the chance that it’s not, this information is invaluable.

One last thing – do this ASAP. Whether it’s when you leave the test center or if you need a break, sometime tonight. But make sure you do it while this information is fresh in your mind.

Hi,

I just recently started 7Sage with Ultimate+ and I’m loving it so far. I set my Study Schedule for the next 8-10 months because I’m working full time and am in school. My diagnostic was a 144 and I’m aiming for a 170+.

I’m set to complete the CC by October with 20 hours per week and then I will do one or two PTs with intensive BRing per week. I will continue to PT and BR weekly until I’m comfortable with my score and hope to sit for the real exam by around March/April so that I have June and July as backups because I intend to apply in September 2021.

Is this a good idea? I ask because I’ve noticed that most people study for this exam for three or four months.

Also, does anyone have any advice or tips for studying long term?

I already occasionally read the New York Times opinion articles for fun, but I’m willing to do more of it and pick up The Economist science section to increase my speed and interest levels in the science passages in RC. My school offers both for free to me and I enjoy it, so it’s no hassle at all to me.

Thank you!

How bad does a cancellation score look? I didn't feel great about the July LSAT and plan on taking it again in September. This is the only time I plan on taking it. I live in Canada, and the only places I'm seriously looking into is UofA and UofC, because the UofA averages the grade will a cancellation be looked at?

So I just got done sitting for the July 2019 lsat. I feel like this is my worst performance ever because some guy in front of me kept bouncing his leg and I could not for the life of me channel it out. I guess that’s my bad for not practicing in conditions where there might be distractions, but I feel as though it severely hindered my performance. This was my third time taking it...if I cancel my score and retake for free like we are given the opportunity to, does it look bad to admissions officers if I have three

Lsat scores in addition to one cancel ?? :(

Does anyone know which 7Sage program I need to purchase for LR and RC video explanations? I need every PT from 1-81 if that’s an option

Hey y'all... I just took the July exam (got a paper version of the test) and realized... I have no idea what's going on with the writing sample. Previously most of the advice given was not to worry about the writing sample. Now that we are taking it on our own time, separately from the test, will the writing portion be given more weight?

Thanks!

Hey guys! While I don’t have another experience to compare it to since this was my first time, our digital process went incredibly smoothly. I actually liked that I could set the tablet up and read without being hunched over. Also, not having to fill in tiny bubbles and worrying that you bubbled the wrong one and got off track for the next 10 questions is a huge relief. I think this method saves some time for me that way, except.. I had a couple questions I flagged to go back to and got short on time so flipping through the screens to select an answer was a bit slower than rapidly filling in the blank ones on a Scantron. I intend to write again in October so either way it’s not the end of the world, I’m just glad I got to experience the digital version for this test. For the ones that got stuck waiting around for the digital, just know that it is capable of being run smoothly. It didn’t appear anyone had trouble with their tablet from what I could tell.

My memory doesn’t seem to be as good as everyone else’s as far as which section contained which questions BUT:

I did HAVE:

Sickleback fish

Jupiter

Tomatoes

Zebra camouflage

Planets/Stars

Bleached Coral

I did NOT have:

Haunted Houses

Coffeehouses

Napoleon

English Trade

Chinese Tea

Arsenic

Lemurs

Furthermore, the RC did seem tough to me in comparison to the recent 80s PTs I’ve taken. I always seem to trudge through if the topic isn’t at all interesting to me and the first passage was awful! So I definitely felt a bit slow. I’m not where I would like to be on LGs yet but they didn’t seem to be overwhelmingly difficult.

Good luck to everyone planning to write again... for me, back to powering through some more LGs.
