@"J.Y. Ping" said: @BlindReviewer I think either way, you're gonna have to rely on outside resources, like our course or commercial outlines that you can purchase via Amazon. For many students that happens during the summer before 1L and …

Timing is definitely a huge component of the test, and @taschasp 's comment above is really good. For me, I feel like I found my timing for all three sections through lots of individual sections and retaking them (1-2 in the morning and 1-2 in the e…

Out of curiosity, what is the 7sage wisdom on preparing for 1L? I've heard many conflicting reports -- read "Getting to Maybe," skim the E&Es, do nothing -- and the most popular response seems to be that you can't prepare because classes are mor…

Take my money! Just enrolled and looking forward to more!

Hey! I've recently been trying to make up my mind before deposit deadlines, and definitely agree that through all of my time on 7Sage studying for the exam to now, I never really thought so much about the debt (it was such a remote bridge I'd cross …

"I thought "D doesn't need to be true, there could be an alternate explanation." However, this explanation, despite the existence of other explanations, does connect the dots between the premises and the conclusion. Now we could say we have more det…

@Yoda I wrote out my tips for RC here a long time ago: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/20999/thank-you-7sage-all-my-advice But from what I remember off the top of my head, recording myself taking RC sections helped me see what I was doing…

I hesitate to make generalizations because a huge part of LG is learning to think on your feet and not go into robot mode (and also because it's been almost a year since I studied for the LSAT), but I think I remember on my exam (July 2019) there wa…

7sage is life will def be using this the summer before 1L!

I'm not sure if this will be that helpful but for me one big thing I had to get over for RC was second-guessing myself. I was really daunted by the time constraints and material that even though I was a good reader, I found myself freaking out. Take…

Congrats!!

Great comment above! For MP questions, I think in your BR it helps to think about what is descriptively true or false. The easy answers to knock out are the ones that are just patently wrong, which leaves you with one that is descriptively accurate…

I think you have three options: 1) Take the trip ahead of time to not only familiarize yourself with the test-day schedule, but also write down directions on a piece of paper that you can toss 2) Call the center ahead of time and ask if they might…

My local public library had a quiet study room that was rather big and had a lot of people in it. That helped create the kind of random ambient noise to simulate test day conditions, and also I guess taking a PT around strangers was something that h…

Burnout is def a real phenomenon and though it may be terrifying to not study at all the day before, I would advise you to do so! Your brain needs time to relax and regain its strength, as hard as it may be to believe, and I would say that at this p…

I'm not sure if @"Cant Get Right" is taking students, but I can thoroughly recommend him from firsthand experience. Other than him, there's a list of tutors here: http://7sage.com/forums/discussion/4760/7sages-approved-tutors/p1 I think @"Lucas Car…

You're basically following the timeline I did last year, and I would definitely say that though reps are important (just doing section after section / PT after PT), critically reviewing is even more important. That is, we already blind review, but y…

I also had Shamala and can confirm she was amazing as well! @Sharon_sarangyang -- For the first question regarding starting the PS before LSAT, I think it is good to start the PS ahead of time if you're planning to apply this cycle, but I'm not sur…

I think a lot of it is true and verifiable, but I also recall seeing a reddit post by Graeme Blake (the LSATHacks guy) who made a post about how not everything was true. I tried looking for it but couldn't find it, but I remember it was interesting!…
-
Everything @prubh_grewal says is on point -- 1) foolproof, foolproof, foolproof and 2) do work upfront (or realize when doing work upfront isn't required -- what JY calls a "rule-driven" game). What helped me a lot when my score didn't go up despit…
-
How should I proceed for each section? I'll assume that I need to wrap up LG foolproofing. Will LR CC repeat yield much? If so, should it be analytics-driven? Is RC CC going to yield anything more than BRing RC sections would? Sacrifice olde…

The 7sage syllabus and problem sets are all online (which is amazing because then you don't have to lug books around everywhere). But otherwise, many pair 7sage with Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer, and I've also seen some good stuff in Ellen Cassidy's Loop…

Came back to 7Sage to just post about this -- I was lucky enough to get a good enough score on the July exam, but as I prepared for alternate scenarios of taking the Oct/Nov exams, I was already stressed out because LSAC had basically no test center…
-
I can rip through a lot of LR questions, and I know that JY likes to call MBTs "freebies," but for the longer, more complicated ones, I just write it out while I'm reading. It's just not worth keeping it all in my head, and it's more accurate and fa…
-
To add onto what people have said above, I actually don't look at the clock except for at certain checkpoints. So for the paper exam, I just flipped my watch over and would check in when I hit the end of the second page of LR, to see if I was on tra…
-
I would say keep and retake if that's your first LSAT -- a GRE equivalent (in my opinion) is a bit of an overestimate of how one will score on the LSAT. I put in maybe two weeks for the GRE and scored a "171" LSAT equivalent, but got a 165 on my fir…
-
Just to crowd source some advice -- do you think it's better to get on the waitlist for October or register for a somewhat near (yet still very inconvenient) test location for November? It seems like the test centers for October and November are bot…

I've taken an LSAT out of state (as in out of the state from which I got my driver's license) and there was no problem
-
Just to go off of this because I'm super stressed now -- from here on out there's ONE test center for all of Washington State. The other closest one is in CANADA?! Furthermore, October and November are totally booked already. What's the point of goi…

Everyone already covered it, but combining what @BranTwice and @aisling said above, I think of "often" as "many" because both terms are left to interpretation. For example, three dogs is "many" to me, but maybe not someone who runs a kennel, or eati…
