7Sage has helped me tremendously! Finally having everything "click"!

hrjones44

I started out in early November with a 144 diagnostic and have been on a very slow and steady process of trying to understand all this logic AND learn games, I was a noob at games, hard. Anyway yesterday i took June 2008 PT54 and scored a 154 with a blind review of 167! (my best score thus far and my best blind review score by 5 points) things are finally starting to click and I just want to give a REAL LIVE SHOUTOUT to JY and Jon for this website being cheap and easy to access! I made a 148 on my February score which i wasnt ready to take, in an attemmpt just to try and get in this fall, and now i wish i wouldve waited bc my school is leting me retake it for June! Hoping this last month keeps enlightening me and i'm gonna do my best to To get in this fall, if not I KNOW FOR A FACT I WILL DO BETTER AND BETTER WITH 7SAGE's METHODS!!!

gotta work on timing now and keep drilling sections and then reviewing them and a huge key has been to READ THROUGH THE TESTS AND WORK OUT WHY QUESTIONS ARE RIGHT AND WRONG! you will start to see patterns and realize u can do it!

Hey congrats! We're very happy for you.

I like that you cited your BR score.

I've said this in the BR lessons but it's worth repeating: your BR score is effectively your theoretical highest score. This is because if you're doing BR right, then what you're effectively doing is taking the LSAT's time constraint out of your test. This means that your BR score is effectively what your LSAT score would be if instead of a 35 per section constraint, you had an infinite time per section "constraint".

This is the most helpful part of BR, imo.

I feel that my blind review score is reachable for sure i just need more time and familiarity!

Yes, exactly! Time, time, time ... work, work, work ... honest self-appraisal and double-covering all your bases vis-a-vis the fundamentals.

@hrjones44 kudos to you! And bravo for telling people your journey. I'm in the same boat. Keep at it!

hrjones44

Maaaan, thanks y'all so much! i am taking a test tomorow after work i hope i can make a 155 or so at least now that things are starting to gel, will update!

nicole.hopkins

@hrjones44 Let us know how it goes! And don't forget about the BR groups ... we'd love to have you

hrjones44

what does the BR group entail?!

emli1000

@hrjones44 You take a PT under time conditions (if you have time, BR your PT on your own before you meet with the group) and then you Group BR the PT with other members. They go through every question and if anyone doesn't understand a question they go over it and explain their reasoning. Or if there's a question that the group has different answers too they review all of the answer choices.

OK cool i'm about to test now i'll post later

I just took PT 66 and scored my second consecutive 154!!! I'm glad i at least matched my last score, have yet to blind review it, but this is very encouraging as i felt i could've done much better on it!

Good job!!

hrjones44

feels so good...

@hrjones44 your score will continue to get better with time

hrjones44

Thank you @emili1000 !!! i sure hope so by june! if not i'll be disapointed! but even if i do well enough in June to get in this fall, i still wont have maximized my score, which in some ways will be disappointing too..

hrjones44

My last two scores have been a 159 and now a 158! PT41=159, and PT68=158, so my scores have made a nice little increase bc that 159 is my highest score and before that it was 154 just a cpl weeks ago, so my last four tests have been 154, 154, 159, 158!!! coming together!

hrjones44

Gettin ready for june!
