Hey guys tried 7 Sage for prep this year and loving it! RC and LG are almost flawless but having some LR issues. Not really one type of question either so just looking for some advice or tools available with 7sage that I might not be as familiar with or overlooking to help ( I know we have LR Drill packets but not sure how or when to use them). Working on a full PT every other day from now until the July LSAT. Thank you for any and all help or advice.

Why are international papers undisclosed, it doesn't seem fair we don't get to see what we got wrong :(

I want to thank you guys especially for the logic games explanations. From my first diagnostic to my most recent PT, I improved my AR from -13 to -2. It's not a fluke. I'm not a genius. I'm a regular guy who spent the time to learn the wisdom offered here. Thank you so much. You've helped me tremendously as I prepare for the September exam

I'm gonna be completely honest, I just started LG after a month of LR and I keep bombing each problem set. I may get them right but take double the time i should ideally be taking. Any advice? Did anyone else start rough too? I'm just getting a little worried because I've booked my test already, little discouraged and just wanna see how I can tackle this better. All the best to you all!!

Hi everyone,

I am nearly complete with the CC and am looking to develop a successful post CC strategy. I have already viewed the post CC webinar and plan to follow the advice provided. Excluding the advice that is provided in the post CC webinar, does anyone have any personal post CC study strategies they would like to share? I know this is an open ended question that largely depends on my areas of weakness / target score. (165+)

What, if any, are some strategies you wish you would have known prior to beginning your post CC studies?

For example: How exactly did you go about fool-proofing LG (by section or game type?), did you keep an LSAT journal for troublesome topics...etc.

I am open to any advice in LR, LG, or RC.

I understand the last sentence of the stimulus which states that higher temperature = higher molecule movement. The second sentence states 'rhodopsin molecules sometimes change shape because of normal molecular motion, thereby introducing error into the visual system'. J.Y links this second sentence with the last sentence, stating that higher molecular movement = more error-prone. What I am confused about is how the second sentence shows this. As in for me, the second sentence seems to say that molecular motion = errors; it doesn't mention anything about more molecular movement equaling more errors. I must be missing some vital connection somewhere.

I’m looking for any study partners for the reading comprehension section. It is definitely my worst section but I’m willing to discuss questions and reading strategies. I have tests 62-71 and I’ve taken 72, 75, 79,80,81. Let me know if you are willing to form a group!

September'18 Study Group | Blind Review PT 57 | Thursday, July 5th | 7:30 pm EST

Hope all my American friends won't be too hungover for this!

(When you're past the third hour of the BR call)

If you are done the curriculum or almost done the curriculum, join us when you can. We welcome people in all stages of prep. The point of the group is to get your lsat nerd on with other like-minded people and make the process more fun. Expand your thinking and learning by interacting with others! For my fellow shy-people, everyone is going to be focused on their own answers/questions that I guarantee you they will not be judging you based on mispronounced words, reading-speed, etc. It's all for fun!

Note: Take the PT under timed conditions; BR to the best of your abilities; join us for all or part of the call! For the purposes of the group please don't check the answers beforehand. If you happen to know the answer, keep it to yourself, and win the argument using your reasoning. Also, please don't go "so I know the answer is C but I don't know why B is wrong?" as the purpose is so that we all collaborate on improving our reasoning skills.

Enter the questions you wish to go over on the spreadsheet below! Write your name beside the question(s) you wish to cover, if the question(s) you want to cover are already marked by someone else, add your name! :) The more discussion, the merrier.

First GoToMeeting? Let's do a quick system check: https://link.gotomeeting.com/system-check

Note: I will not be sharing my screen so please have the material in front of you.

Abit of housekeeping: I am going into my fourth year of undergrad this fall and will be applying to Canadian Law Schools; mainly Ontario. My success in the first two years of undergrad (2.8-3.0 OLSAS GPA Calculator) were negatively influenced by marital issues in the home stemming from my father’s mental health (depression). I was also clinically diagnosed with ADHD in September 2017 and have been medicated since. This past year I was able to pull through do the best with the cards i’ve been delt to achieve an 85% avg or 3.85 GPA, which is anticipated to increase this coming year. This will give me 2 bad years and 2 better/good years of undergrad which i’m hoping some schools can look past due to the circumstances.

LSAT: I am currently registered for the July 2018 test and have been studying for the last two months on an average of 20 hours per week (Powerscore trilogy). I am also working 40 hours a week which makes it somewhat difficult to balance studying, family life, and maintaining friendships and the relationship I have with my girlfriend. I am starting to get overwhelmed due to my fully simulated and timed 4 section PT’s which produce results in the 150-153 range. BR usually brings me up to the low 160’s, however I have only done a handful of tests. I feel that I will not be ready for test day which I hope to score a165 (very ambitious for my current state). I am considering postponing until September but I also want to have adequate time to do my personal statements, gather LOR’s, and complete my application. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!:)

Good evening,

I have began working on my personal statement and have narrowed my decision to three topics. I cannot decide which one is most fitting and relevant. If anyone is interested in reading what I have so far and providing feedback, that would be awesome. I would be willing to exchange my work so far with other’s as well. If anyone is interested, please message me your email. Thank you so much in advance

I cannot find PT C to save my life. Does anyone know where I could get my hands on it? Would like to grapple with its LG section. Any help appreciated.

I keep finding that an increasing number of my mistakes occur due to carelessness rather than a misunderstanding of the material. What have you guys done to tackle this type of problem? Should these be given as high a priority as cases of genuine confusion? I don't know what to do because there isn't a pattern but it occurs at least several times each test.

Can someone please help me understand what the stimulus is saying.

Hey everyone. I know the rule of thumb is rc doesn’t improve by much - that being said I know my rc goes up and down depending on how long / dense the passage is and whether it’s humanities based vs science . What are some tangible ways to improve ? Ive been doing sections timed and untimed. And looking up strategies from different places . I annotate and Mark the passages . Seems like timing it gives me added anxiety and makes me rush . (I don’t run out of time usually few mins extra ) Also when it’s a science passage my comprehension goes down .

Today I went through the CC part about flaw questions on the LR. Everything was going great up until this part. I thought I was making progress, I was able to do so well on everything else and the Set for other LRs were not bad at all.

Flaw has given me some major trouble and tonight I just broke down. I missed so many questions back to back. I read the comment sections after each set and some of them would say "5 out of 5" or "4 out of 5" and it made me feel so bad about myself. I haven't missed this many in a row in a very long time. why now? what am I doing wrong? I'm taking notes the same way. I'm listening to every detail that JY and other sage students has to offer. I made sure to learn from my mistakes, but with every new question that I miss, I just feel like I won't ever get it.

Tonight I started really questioning myself and started doubting myself and that "maybe I can't take the LSAT".

Tough night.

How do I go about sending my transcripts to LSAC? I am really confused. I'm taking the LSAT in November so when would be a good time to send transcripts? Is now too early? Thanks everyone!

Where can I find 2018 June LSAT so I could study for my September LSAT?

I'm getting mixed up between false dichotomies and true contradictions.

Can someone please explain or give an example of the two. I'm getting them mixed up and its getting to me

Thank you 7sagers

Since it's a few weeks before test day, I want to plan what I'm going to eat for the next two weeks and during every PT/practice. For the break, I'm unsure if I should bring/drink water or gatorade. I know water is the most logical thirst quencher but I want something that will make me less inclined to use the bathroom and I heard gatorade is good for this.

For snacks I'm thinking of bringing ritz crackers and dark chocolate M&Ms or Nutella & Go breadsticks with dark chocolate M&Ms. If there's any snack/beverage combo you guys have ritualized, I'd love to hear it!! Does anyone drink gatorade instead of water?

Good morning 7Sage fam,

I am among the legion of sagers it seems that will be re-taking the test after June. I had been averaging a 162 and scored a 161 in June. After looking over the test, I for 3 LR wrong within the first 10 questions and they were EASY, gimme questions that I should have gotten. Perhaps it was nerves? I absolutely should have had a 163 for June.

I took my first PT after June this Saturday and I scored a 167. The highest I have ever scored in a PT is a 163. Is this a fluke? Or can it be considered a jump in ability and subsequent test score? Perhaps the only way to know for sure is to take another PT. I simply wanted to reach out to 7Sage fam to see if somebody had experienced something similar.

Does anyone know/have experience taking the LSAT in US when on a tourist visa? My family is shifting to US in 2months, while I finish up University in Australia. In case my November 2018 LSAT does not go well (which I give in Australia) I had wanted to take the February 2019 LSAT, however, I would be in US by then on a tourist visa :/

I’ve recently taken up sudoku’s and reading Scientific American in my spare time when I’m not studying to supplement my training and help my brain get used to the mindset needed for LG and the science selection of RC, respectively. I saw these suggestions mentioned briefly in one of the lessons in the core curriculum, and honestly I am pretty sure that it has improved my performance. I know that these methods have certainly made me feel more comfortable when I’m doing my PT’s. Does anyone have suggestions for similiar low-stress, supplemental methods to help with LR sections? Thanks!

I have taken the LSAT once before and, honestly, could never put in the time for studying. Because of work/finances, I could only sacrifice a half hour here and there with the power score books.

With the last LSAT, I got a 161. I am aiming for a 165+ but I only now got the time off to study (by demanding to lessen my overtime).

With maximal studying (think practice test a day plus some drills), can I achieve my goal? I do well with reading comp (4 missed at most), and I generally lag in the logic games due to running out of of time

Does anyone know if there will be another month of reading comp calls? I would love to join as reading comp is my weakest section.

I took the June exam as my third stake, and got a score in the low 170s.

I feel ecstatic, but I’m looking for full scholarships at T14 schools.

I’m planning on retaking: would the 4th vs 5th take make a difference?

Ideally, I would like to take September and November as a back up.

But if a 5th take is too risky, maybe I should wait until November, so that I know that I can consistently hit high 170s~180 in PTs. My PT average before June had been mid-170s, and I’m not sure if a couple of months is enough to bring my average up to high 170s~180.

I’m just wondering if a 5th take would be considered as too many.
