  • Probably both burnout and a changes in the tests. Take a day or so off... I feel like if you're asking about potentially being burnout, then it is worth taking a break, as it will only get worse. @TheoryandPractice is correct that with proper BR yo…
    in Burn Out? Comment by Alex May 2017
  • Congrats on the acceptances!! Yeah, it seems more than a few people feel this way. I wouldn't worry about it too much and I think as the time gets closer it will all become real and that excitement will return. Try imagining yourself there and read…
  • I don't think you necessarily need to fit in more time. This may not be ideal, but if you can fit in 3-ish hours a day (which while working F/T is amazing!!), it may take longer overall to prepare, but you will eventually get there! Maybe by Decemb…
  • I'm guessing the date isn't open for sign up on the website yet.
  • After going through the CC my score increased about 8/9 points. And then even more after I went back and fool-proofed the games and did more drills. @JustDoIt hit the nail on the head wrt to returning to the CC. Like any test, you learn in class, bu…
  • I agree with all the great advice above. It also seems like you have a really good attitude about waiting until you are 100% ready. Honestly, at least to me, this means something different for everyone. However, I think you, like most of the other s…
  • Yeah, I wouldn't think it would be a problem unless you grew a beard or lost 40 pounds. However, @Mellow_Z makes a good point -- better safe than sorry. If it were me -- and I'm usually overly cautious -- I would opt to just take another picture. A …
  • @"evonne-alkhatib" said: Thankyou! I will be sure to do that @Mellow_Z nailed it! Also, @"Mo Zubair" brings up a great suggestion with reviewing the grammar lessons.
  • @"marvin.dike" said: Whenever i input my practice LSAT scores after doing BR... do i plug in my blind review answers even if i didn't change my original answer? Or do i only input BR answers if my answers change? I only ask because its a pain …
  • I really like @jkatz1488 's explanation/advice above. I too utilize and suggest @"Cant Get Right" 's 80% method. However, I always looks at and quickly consider the other answer choices no matter what my level of certainty is. And also, it is going…
  • @"Accounts Playable" said: The way I understand waitlists for top schools (currently on Stanford's), is that there is no deferral option; either you go this year or you'd have to decline and reapply. Also heard others with experience on HYS …
  • Hitting 170! Whata feeling Congrats and good luck in June!
    in Progress! Comment by Alex May 2017
  • Not yet anyway. However, I agree that one should typically use PTs 1-35 to drill games. Then, like @JustDoIt recommends, drilling any games you have trouble with after taking PTs.
  • I'll echo the above advice. Erasing wastes time. Learn to write small and neat and always save each diagram you draw out. Often you can use prior diagrams to answer subsequent questions. If you're just learning games or haven't mastered them yet, d…
  • Thank you so much @"Alan Cheuk" Every time I get an email I usually assume it is a bill coming due or a work related email. Seeing this makes me so grateful and happy! Congrats to all my fellow 7Sagers @"Mellow_Z" @"TheoryandPractice" @"Sami"…
  • @mrodgers209 said: Ahh.....#insight! Looking at what's gonna happen for me in the long haul is actually VERY refreshing and actually makes me so excited! I think I am going to take a few days off just to not burn myself out! Great suggestions!…
  • @SiliconJedi said: Thanks for the advice, @"Alex Divine"! I just upgraded! Nice Welcome to the ultimate 7sage experience
  • @"marvin.dike" said: I love the fact that J.Y. adds the target time in all the logic game explanations. It just hit me that i don't practice my logic game full proof method with a scantron. I normally just use scantrons during my PT and BR or …
  • Every single one of these I read fills me with renewed motivation and hope! Congrats and thank you for sharing!
  • If you bombed your first test, I would start fresh with 7Sage and hold off on full practice tests until you've gone through the 7sage curriculum.
  • @SiliconJedi said: Hi all -- I heard that the LG Bundle and LR drills are available in the syllabus, right before the PTs. However, I don't see these in my syllabus. Are these problem sets available only to Ultimate+ students? Also, …
  • @SiliconJedi said: Thank you both for the great advice! I'll work through the CC carefully, foolproof the LG and continue drilling until I feel comfortable, then head into the PTs. No problem! Sounds like a plan. Also, I'm lovin your 7Sage …
  • @"Cant Get Right" said: Glad you know the answer to your question, especially given the sampling you've been exposed to! That's crazy! For folks like that, their scores reflect a level of intellect that top schools, obviously, will be happy to…
  • @jackigoe said: Thank you everyone for all of the advice! As of right now, I'm going to work on getting through the Core Curriculum in an expedited manner and then move on to PT and either Manhattan or the Trainer depending on what seems more …
  • @achen013 said: Hey everyone! I am hoping to take the LSATs in September 2017 or if absolutely necessary, December 2017. My study journey has been an absolute mess and I hope that purchasing the 7Sage Premium course will help me. I i…
  • You're not alone. I definitely do better on the older RC myself. I haven't taken a ton of newer PTs yet, but I think what helped me most was to spend all the time I needed during BR to break down each passage and figure out exactly why I was missin…
    in New RC Comment by Alex April 2017
  • @MapleSarahp said: I was having issues with sharpeners but no more. Palomino Blackwing FTW Yeah, that long point sharpener is the best! My* point lasts like 30% longer when I use it!
  • @cvo1 said: I tried the Noricas recently but they were so darn scratchy that I couldn't even get through a section because the noise just bothered me so much. I've heard that Staedtler changed the formula. It's either that or I just got a bad …
  • You're a good man Dark Knight!
  • @dantlee14 said: I'm not sure how useful the RC from those tests are (just because they don't include the comparative section that every LSAT since 2007 has), but the LG and LR are definitely worth doing, especially the LG. The past few L…
