  • Gina, I'm sure it will work out. It's better that it's cancelled ahead of time. The first time I ever took the LSAT there was a rainstorm, lightning and thunder, and the power went out. That won't be you! Just make the most out of some extra study t…
  • Hi Charlotte, There is no way to do well on this test without believing that you're going to do well. Focus all your negative thoughts on what you are really good at on LSAT...and DESTROY it! You can absolutely do it. Wandering thoughts are also my…
  • Hi Gareljon- I noticed the same thing because I was sitting very hunched over. Since then, I've purposely tried to relax my shoulders throughout the test and breathe more. During the 15-minute break, I would definitely recommend some neck/shoulder/a…
  • Absolutely, KS! Also- reset any analog watch to the hour at the start of each 35-minute section. You don't have to do the math in your head, and during the LSAT the actual time of day doesn't matter. Good luck!
  • Double-sided, absolutely.
  • The policy is on the LSAC website, under LSAT, right-hand column "Limitations on Test Taking:" "You may not take the LSAT more than three times in any two-year period. This policy applies even if you cancel your score or if your score is not otherw…
  • Hi Litian, I agree that as someone taking the test (once again), I don't feel quite as nervous as before. However, I would like to say to all first-time test takers out there considering the December 2013 LSAT...if you're on the fence about wheth…
  • Hi BD, I'm absolutely in the same boat with you on timing and pacing. It's really the area I need to work on most. I have finally improved my accuracy to between 85-100% on the questions that I answer in each section, and now it's really a matter o…
  • In general, you should not submit applications until you have your final LSAT score in. I know that some schools consider the application "complete" if it has an LSAT score. Others will consider an additional score. You should specifically check wit…
  • Hi Mike, I would recommend saving the most recent prep tests for the end of your studying. That way, you're taking the tests that will be most similar to your real upcoming test at the end (saving the best for last.....) It depends on how much time…
  • I've generally done mine the next day so that I don't just have the answer choices memorized. You might do the game 5x one day, then 5x the next. It might not take you the full 10x to get it perfect in good timing. You might save the 10th one to rep…
  • I do NOT recommend doing full-length PTs untimed....because it's unrealistic. That's why I really like Blind Review; you get the opportunity to compare how you did under timed conditions with untimed conditions. To improve your timing, I recommend…
  • I think it really depends on how much time you have to devote to studying. Taking either February or June will position you well to apply early in the admissions cycle for 2015. I think my best advice (as someone who has taken LSAT more than once an…
  • Hi Eric, If you didn't finish an LG game, skipped some questions, or circled difficult questions, re-do them just like with Blind Review for LR. If you feel like you really botched a game, or didn't get to the 4th game all together, simply re-print…
  • Hi Dalton, I think you should keep taking 1 PT each week and supplement with 7Sage lessons for your areas of weakness, as well as their techniques for keeping your strong areas strong. Blind Review is tedious but amazing. Good luck!
  • Hi all, I would really recommend looking for proctored practice tests in your area. Sometimes other LSAT prep courses host free proctored PTs where you actually go in and take the test in person. Otherwise, it's been very helpful for me to take PTs …
  • I have generally heard that if you already have a score on file, you should wait for your 2nd (and hopefully better!) score to be released BEFORE submitting your applications. I have heard that sometimes they only consider the application "as is." H…
  • Yes, I'm re-taking in December, too. I didn't end up taking October though. The 2-year period starts from your first LSAT score. For example, if your first one was October 2013, you can take the LSAT two more times before October 2015.
  • I think if you are confident that you will score higher than your 6-point improvement, taking December might improve your applications. However, there is a 3-test limit every 2 years. So, if you unfortunately don't do as well, there might be that ri…
  • Unfortunately, I think by reading the questions first, you would lose time, because you would end up reading them a second time when you get back to them after reading the passage...
  • Hi Kyuka, When you say that you're "bombing" a section- do you mean that you're not having time to finish, or you're just making a lot of errors? Is the section usually at the beginning or the end of the PT? I guess I was just wondering if there we…
  • Hi Jane, I think it is worth taking the LSAT later if you feel that you can improve your score. That may mean putting off law school for a year though. Personally, I wish that I didn't have a low score already on my LSAT record, and I wish that I wo…
  • Hi Erick, If you have the time to take a full-length test you should. Then BR, and re-focus your study schedule on areas of your weakness. Don't forget to also keep your strong areas strong. Good luck!
  • Another strategy you might want to try during the week between full PTs, is to do single 35-minute sections of older tests. Once you're able to concentrate on 1, then add a 2nd one. That has really helped me with concentration and speed...and buildi…
  • Hi Mike, I definitely know where you're coming from. I'm at a stage in my studying where many of my wrong answers were narrowed down to 2 choices, and then I went for the trap. I'm coming to 7Sage after having used another LSAT prep company. In gen…
  • Hi Kaizen, The majority of law schools will accept December as the latest possible LSAT for the following year. Check with any specific schools you are aiming for. A lot of them list that information on their admissions FAQ. Good luck!

  • Hi 7Sage, I've really enjoyed your LG video explanations. They're great. I would like to know in what circumstances you would recommend that someone put off taking the October LSAT for December. Unfortunately, I have taken the LSAT more than once b…
