Question Bank

Hi, so I'm fairly new to 7sage. I am just 3 weeks into studying the CC. I just had a question on the best way and time to incorporate the question bank into my studying. Would you guys say it is better to do the question bank after topics or to save it for the weeks when there are just practice tests (so I can target my weaknesses and work on that more)?

I am wanting to transfer after my first year from the law school that I am about to attend. Is it hard to do that? I would like to know if all my classes would transfer or would I have to retake some? Could I transfer after a semester or would I have to complete the first year?

Thanks in advance for the information!

Is there a specific reason why pt1-16 LR questions don’t have explanation videos? I was drilling these earlier pts but not having the videos to explain the passage makes understanding my mistake a little difficult.

Have any of you found a convenient solution to fool proofing now that the PDF ban is in place? I've fool proofed all of the games that are included in the CC so now I'm looking for my next step. I am thinking about just using the 10 Actual books in the 40s and 50s for drilling/proofing and using an eraser so that I can do the games more than once. Any ideas?

Like many of you, I took the July LSAT today. I don't know how I did so I am hoping for the best but assuming the worst. In this case, where should I begin PTing again from? I've already used all of PTs 36-84 and everything in the CC. I'm asking this incase I have to restart my studies again incase today's test did not go well.

For parallel flaw questions, how do we go about finding the correct answer choice? Are we looking for invalid arguments? Are we looking for answers that are opposite from the stimulus. Can someone clarify how I should go about finding the correct answer choice?

I’ve noticed a significant increase in difficulty while drilling LR sections from PT 42-51 compared to those from PT 29-38. Do the LR sections get more difficult? I’ve read that some people think they do and others don’t notice any difference. I guess I’m asking you guys to resolve this apparent paradox for me. If there is a difference, then hopefully it will expose a weakness in my fundamentals.

Hi everyone, I just began 7sage and got 146 as a diagnostic score. Im hoping to get to at least 165 or above on the actual test next year. Ultimately, i want a good enough score to get a full tuition scholarship preferably to UF or FSU... Im planning on studying from late august 2018 and into 2019, to take the june and july tests. any advice?

Are the conversion charts at the end of each PT the same for every test? Or are they adjusted for the curve for that particular test. For instance, I got a 68 on PT 37 which translates to a 156 according to the conversion chart. However, I checked the score with another converter online and a 68 was a 159.

Anyone know which one would be right?

Hey 7Sagers, I'm leading BR calls for PT 84 (June 2018 LSAT) RC only.

There will be two sessions total. One for passages 1 & 2 and one for passages 3 & 4.

All sessions will start at 8:30p and end at 10:30p ET.

What happens in these sessions?

We'll read the passage together, paragraph by paragraph. I'll ask you to make low resolution summaries of each paragraph. We'll use those low res summaries to build higher resolution summaries. Then, we'll answer the questions together.

How should I prepare?

Have a clean, unmarked copy of the PT ready in front of you so we can read and answer the questions together. Please wear headphones and try to be in a quiet place.

Hi guys I just wanna get some opinions on my BR vs regular scores. I’ve taken only 2 PTs so far and these were the scores:

Test 1 Timed: 149

Test 1 BR: 153

Test 2 Timed: 145

Test 2 BR: 158

My goal is to be at 160 or higher. I was kinda disheartened to see my already low initial score decrease but I was also surprised that my BR score was that much higher? Any advice on what I can take from this, what this means and where to go from here?

Thanks guys

Hey, thanks for stopping by.

So here's the deal. I got through my first PT. As I took the PT I circled all of the answer choices which I was uncertain of (as is suggested by 7sage). For each section, I noticed that I circled about 2/3 of the questions -- leaving about 8 answers uncircled.

My score somewhat reflected what you might expect from a first time PT. I got a 148. I went back an did BR, typed in my new answers -- and the score hardly moved at all. It only went up to a 151. Here's the thing -- I found that in one section I got all of the answers wrong that I DIDN'T circle. Does this make sense? So basically the questions I was most certain of were the ones that I got wrong.

Has anyone else shared in a similar experience (especially of this magnitude)?

Thanks for any time

Hi everyone,

Not really sure where to post this, but admissions seemed like the most appropriate spot. For those of you who have been admitted to law school or are currently attending school, how did you handle "imposter syndrome." I am currently in a year-long fellowship program with cohort members that are vastly more qualified, both in a professional and academic sense, than I am; navigating the dynamics of these relationships is both new and somewhat overwhelming. It seems like I always "have to be on," and am constantly trying to prove to myself that I deserve a seat at the table. I'm sure dynamics at law school, especially @ T14s, are similar and I was wondering how people dealt with feelings of subtle inferiority.

I was just wondering if anyone has taken all LSAT practice exams? I am planning to take June's 2019 LSAT test but I still believe that it will be very hard to complete all those exams. I am planning to start taking practice tests in December since I believe that by then I would have learned everything from 7sage and I also think I will take 2 quarters off of school since I am ahead in units. So ill have 6 months to take a practice test every other day, and I was wondering if anyone has done that and if that is doable. Also incase things don't go as planned, is it possible to take a practice test everyday or is that just overkill?

The title pretty much says it all! Wondering if I should commence "chilling" tonight, or if I can just take the day tomorrow to relax. I feel like since I do have a fresh PT left, I should make use of it. I've already taken the LSAT twice (Sept 2016 & 2017), and I finally feel confident in my average PT scores for test day Monday. This will be my last time taking it. Any guidance in general on what I should be doing tonight / tomorrow is appreciated! Thanks all. And good luck to everyone taking it in 2 days!

I have such a hard time with Logic Reasoning no matter what the question types may be. I read the stimulus and understand it for the most part and pick the "correct" answer confidently, then do a blind review, but, when I review my answers I am almost always wrong. Once I watch JY's explanations of the questions I can see clearly why I picked the wrong answer choice - and it is for the most part a stupid mistake from either reading the passage incorrectly or the questions.I have tried to improve by slowing down and even reading the questions and possible answer choices multiple times, but that hasn't been helpful as I am still going with my gut and picking the wrong answer choice.I am really good at Logic games and fairly good with RC - but I can't seem to improve on LR. Any suggestions?

I'm going to vent a little bit on here. At the start, I took the initial PrepTest June 2007 and got 144. I missed 51 questions then. Now, I took my first PT 62 from December 2010 and got 144. I missed 57 questions. I feel defeated. My logic games did go up, so I am happy about that. I just want to prepare effectively for September and I am not sure whether I should take Kaplan? So far, I just finished the CC and took the first test, so maybe I need to do the drilling too. What suggestions do you have? Thanks for the help, guys!
