I have watched it, and it definitly shed some light. Thanks!!
My only advice to add: Be flexible with your pre-phrasing and don't rely on them too heavily. I think sometimes we can get trapped by them and close our …

@nathanieljschwartz have you checked out the webinar on anticipating answer choices?
Good call! Here it is and it is certainly worth the watch: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/jimmy-anticipating/

What if Kaplan is the key to a 180, and the rumours that it sucks were started by top scorers...
Plot twist.

This really shows the strides that LSAT prep has made in the past couple of decades. A while back, the only prep option was Kaplan. Now, it's routinely dismissed as being the worst of the lot. But better LSAT prep is a double-e…

Good for you, Alex!
I am happy to see such a kind and supportive atmosphere here at 7sage.
Yes, I was very fortunate to find 7Sage along with the most supportive group of preppers in the world!

I have spent a considerable amount of time on these questions. My first piece of advice would be to develop mastery-level understanding of games prior to undertaking a serious study of rule substitution questions, if you…

Alex Divine, how has she helped you improve?
She took me under her wing when I first began prepping last fall. Supported me and helped me to understand a lot of the technical approaches to LR especially. Sami not only helped m…
Recently, with little prep I've been able to get my RC down to -2 or so. I use what is called the Memory Method (7Sage, reading for structure) but I also utilize this theory called LOCI. I swear I can kill most passages with this theory. It takes pr…
Also, always feel free to PM/comment if you have any questions at all -- me or one of the other helpful sagers will help. I remember starting off and not being able to intuitively know what to do next or how to feel about my progress. Again, I think…

They offer the digital LSAT in Albany but not Buffalo.

Yup. You skip that question on the exam and you do other ones. When you are done with all the questions on that section you can come back to this question to try again.
I disagree that it isn't worth a second quick once over, at …

I haven't really heard great things about Kaplan. But I'm sure it works for some people. Hiring a tutor can be very expensive.

I would say for the common LSAT student, 7sage is a great asset to …

You skip it and come back to it on the second round.
Basically. I mean, try again. There's nothing else you can do except maybe give it a quick once over again, make sure you didn't misread something or mis understand the argumen…

I would say that why I think a 5/6 with real sections to create a whole test is valuable.
You never know what is coming at you on test day and ideally you'll perform consistently no matter what. For me it's been valuab…

So i have been at the LSAT for awhile now. I see the benefits of prephrasing im just really having a hard time employing it on a large part of the test.
Does anyone have any drills or methods they used to help the…

Agree with previous comments.
Also just to add that I think that while it is true that all of law is competitive, I don't think we can actually say other law jobs are equally difficult to get as a professorship. Get…

How can you tell what's important and what's not in an argument without reading and understanding the whole thing first?

Still, good point.
Nope. I have only heard negative things above Kaplan in the last several years. You can just look up reviews. I don't personally know anyone who took the course, but when I was researching courses (before I found 7Sage) I think Kaplan and Princeton …

Last test was an exact copy of a previous exam. If you are trying to use the test as a means to get exposure to more/new materials, I would deem it a waste of time.
