@"brett.baalhorn" said: G'day, 7sagers! I have a hard time diagramming the logic in these questions but seem to be doing OK without diagramming and just going by the English alone. Will this ever come back and bite me in the arse? Should I …

@RichHomie said: So I've been chugging along with my PTs and suddenly hit a wall in terms of LG in tests in the upper 60s. I've never been great at LG, but up until now I've gotten it down to -3/4 per section. In my last 3 PTs I've gotten -7 o…

@Gladiator_2017 said: @"Alex Divine" hmm I'll need to take another look at my last couple of sections to see why I circle them. From the top of my head there are probably 6 or 7 that I skip and then go back to during my second pass. I go over …

@Gladiator_2017 said: @"Alex Divine" I think part of my problem is I'm still a little underconfident in my abilities so I over circle. I'm trying to figure out how to get a better at gauging my level of confidence and my accuracy. For my l…

I think that's probably a fine strategy to employ. You won't be wasting the test because you will be taking and BR'ing them. For this reason, you're not exactly skipping 36-41, either. As far as taking the exams in the 10 Actuals books, the layout …

@jd208111 said: How important is club leadership position in applying to law school and resumes? For such a long time I have heard how it is able to boost your resume or application, but how much so? Hard to quantify its level of performance…

Hey @jennybbbbb , One thing I have found that has worked for me is beginning each new study session reviewing whatever I learned the day before. I find that any information sticks better if I take notes after each lesson as well. If I'm learning a …

@jennybbbbb said: I think everyone would agree that you should wait it out until your scoring around your goal score on PTs! Goodluck! @lc829-1 I think this is exactly the mindset you should have. 4 weeks of intense studying likely isn…

I've decided I will auction off my kidney. The going rate in the US is around $250k on the black market. That should cover the bulk of the law school expenses I will incur.

@Victoria14 This may seem truncated and overly simplistic, but I can promise from the bottom of my heart that I feel you, girl. When you feel like you've fallen off the bandwagon, just do something. Even if the first day you attempt to get back on y…

I find it helpful to review the videos after I have done a thorough blind review. I then go on to watch videos for any question I had circled (even if I got it right during BR) and any questions I straight up got wrong. As said above, do your hones…

@FiestaNextDoor said: Hey 7sage community! Quick question- I don't quite understand how we're supposed to correctly practice the memory method? When do you move from phase 1 to phase 2? Is it basically like full proofing LG? Should we be repea…

@Maximus4 said: Hey so I'm curious if it matters if the LOR's are from a TA or professor? does it look bad if you have one written by a community college professor (I am a transfer student) and another one from a TA at a University. Nope. No…

@"Lucas Carter" said: Don't mean to hijack thread but would you guys recommend jumping right into post 60 RC drills after completing the CC? I have LR and LG down pat and plan on writing in Sept but am just starting RC. I'd definitely expose…

@SD_SaraE said: It is amazing how quickly I have become obsessed with both my pencil choice and this thread. I have some LITE Tica's that are really putting a cramp in my style. Would one of you mind sending a link to these legendary Noricas? …

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling lost All you can do is your best and you know what to do to improve and break that plateau and I know you have it in you. Think of how far you've come from when you first started! As far as feeling lost, yeah, I c…

@"Andres Cardenas" said: @"Alex Divine" I think I understand what you’re saying about confidence. However, can you elaborate a bit on what you mean with, “…always trying to have to be 100% accurate when 90% is enough?” Su…

@jkatz1488 said: @"Connie Lingus" if you can get good at PR, this is one way to bank a lot of time. There is no better feeling than quickly eliminating ACs with wrong conclusions and answering confidently in 1 minute. I can't agree more with…

@dhnh1234 said: So I've compiled a very thorough list of all of the LR problems that I've missed or struggled mightily with on previous PTs, and have gone over them again by doing them as if they were real LR sections - doing 26-27 problems at…

@Gino_the_Slow_One said: Hey all, So, I'm taking on 7sage's trial course before making the full plunge with you guys, but something stuck out to me... J.Y. recommends that we study for at least a year before being fully ready for an LSAT …

@tringo335 said: Under question #2 in this section, JY uses the conditional indicator "If" to translate the sentence to the sufficient part instead of "Any" at the beginning of the sentence. Can someone explain why this is? If there are two co…

I love hearing stories like this and it's so crucial to remember that hard work on this test does pay off!

@jennybbbbb said: @Sami @"Alex Divine" @10000019 @Freddy_D Thanks guys! I guess I will have to test out what works for me! Do you tend to circle any key words or underline anything? What about when identifying the main point of the pa…

@"Heart Shaped Box" said: Okay I'm really horrible at RC (not being humble) so I'm not in anyway doubting all the above insightful advice, I just have one concern and would really appreciate it if anyone could shed some lights clarifying for m…

@september said: @"Alex Divine" I meant what you do in your second go-around. How do you pick which questions to re-do in your extra time (obviously if you haven't skipped any questions)? @TheMikey I am where you are now. I usually do wel…

@jkatz1488 said: @"Cant Get Right" @"Alex Divine" @"Maddie Distasio" I've been using this week as an RC intensive. It used to be my strongest section, but improvement in LR and LG have forced me to address what I always assumed was a give…

@needmylsat180 said: train yourself to run on a treadmill for an hour nonstop with speed, it really helps to improve your stamina for the exam Mind Body connection? I might have to try running a bit more and check this technique out!

@"Leah M B" said: I haven't taken very many full prep tests yet, but so far I'm noticing in my trends that I am overall improving in LG and RC, but my LR gets worse when I'm working in newer PT's (tests in the 60s and maybe 50s also). It's rea…
