I've learned a lot through the curriculum, but have plateaued or even gone down in my PT scores even though I've followed all 7S suggestions. The explanations are often dismissive of wrong answers that were the most common as if only a stupid person would have chosen it, which helps not at all. It's really expensive for something that has raised my scores only slightly, and I often learn more from my colleagues in the comments than the videos themselves. I also hate how in all the comparative passage explanations, you have to go back and forth between multiple videos to make sense of it. The two guys who explain everything (JY and Kevin) have the exact same style of explaining imo, so if what they're saying doesn't click with you you're outta luck. Maybe hiring a woman to do some would help? Preparing for the LSAT is so mentally taxing, so when you keep feeling like your ways of thinking are dismissed with little explanation it makes you doubt yourself even more.
Thanks for your feedback! Since your comment, we've been steadily remaking all of our video explanations, giving full explanations to wrong answers. We've also added written explanations from a variety of our top instructors so you can get different perspectives on the answer.
Kevin is working sequential explanations for RC comparative passages (in contrast to my A first then B approach).
I wish 7sage provided practice materials for the starting package.
When studying MP questions for example, they do not provide access to practice questions. I couldn't afford the other packages and I will eventually be purchasing it, however, it would be nice for 7sage to provide access to a few practice questions + games for the starting package.
Do I think that 7Sage is the miraculous cure-all for a sucky LSAT score? No.
I was really hoping that this would be the course that pushed me to the next level, considering that I've chosen to avoid other in-person classroom courses that have a bad reputation for teaching without any real LSAT material.
My lesson learned is that since I'm a visual/reading learner, the course didn't work for me. I've fallen asleep to more than one lecture throughout my syllabus (I bought the mid-range package).
I think a great part of why I became disengaged is because I felt that there is too much mumbly jumbly talk that could be cut from the lectures, which would then make the course concise. I get that we Millennials like humor and stories, but when I signed up for the course, I meant business. No messing around. I don't have the time.
The greatest benefit that I gained from signing up for the course is having actual LSAT tests to download, practice on, and score. However, I was one of the fortunate ones to be able to do this before LSAC dropped the ax on 7Sage for distributing Practice Tests as part of their course in April.
Ultimately, if you're a visual learner, I recommend the LSAT Trainer and the Powerscore Bibles. A classroom or private tutor experience would also more likely be a better experience to keep you engaged.
At best, I would recommend buying 7Sage's cheapest package just to have access to scoring the tests for practice and blind review. However, this means that you would have to drop additional cash on buying the physical Practice Tests.
Do I expect to jump 10-20 points compared to my baseline LSAT from two years ago, thanks to 7Sage? Not so much. Do I "regret" buying a course from 7Sage? Not so much.
It's all good!
A lot of unnecessary "fluff" in the lessons. The lesson times could easily be cut in half without the additives. Otherwise, good. The text review pages are extremely helpful.
Based on an automated sentiment analysis of Reddit posts mentioning 7Sage, we counted 7,500 upvotes on 336 threads. We think this is a (very) conservative estimate— but we’ll leave it to you to scour the subs and see why so many of our students come from Reddit.
