The beautiful thing about 7Sage is that regardless of which package you choose, you will have full access to the entire "core" curriculum. The more you spend, the more resources you'll have at your disposal for practicing.
With only 6 weeks left, I…
I've burnt out once, and will do everything in my power to avoid it. When it comes to burn out, preventative medicine should always trump curative medicine.
Take as much time off as you need. I will generally recommend 2-3 days off. If that isn't e…
Have you fool proofed the games? If not, you may want to set-up an intensive 2-4 week fool proof session. With only 6 weeks left, you do not want to neglect PTing and BRing. So, incorporate those into your fool proof session.
If you're referring t…
20 or so left. I have a print out, which details each PT (date taken, initial score, and BR score). Thanks to a certain non-7Sage company, I wasted about 7 of the 60+ PTs...which will not be retakes.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but going from ~140 to ~150 is one thing...going from ~150 to ~170 is another. You may be able to do it in a month, but it often takes people several months to even get from a ~160 into the ~170s.
That said, spe…
We need more of these posts, now more than ever! Actually, y'all should save them for the week prior to the September administration, haha. Congrats OP!
That's actually more common than you probably think it is. There are a couple of reasons as to why you may have scored significantly below your average:
1) You're tired
2) You had an off day
3) You need to step away from the LSAT because you've been…
I use my day off for 2 things:
1) Drilling whatever it is that my BR revealed I am lacking in.
2) Relaxing - can't afford to burn out the week before the test.
Drilling is the fancy LSAT word for "Practicing." Typically, it involves using real questions from the earlier PTs (1-35) in one of many ways:
1) Section drill (most common): Yank out a section from an older test, give yourself 35 minutes on the tim…
Everyone I know, including those who have no interested in attending law school pronounce it "El-Sat." LSAC is pronounced "Organization-that-needs-to-reissue-PDFs-NOW" or something like that.
They probably do that on purpose. Throw in a science stimulus, use a bunch of "big words" and hope that the test taker pays so much attention to said words that they lose focus on the bigger picture - answering the question.
Don't focus so much on t…
I can almost guarantee that every single person here has had one "what the hell just happened?" PT. Take a day off, relax, get a good night's sleep, and take another PT in the AM. See how you do on that one.
Plenty of members here begin to utilize this method once they realize that they are doing a particular section 1) Accurately and 2) Under the 35 minute time limit.
If I'm not mistaken, the greatest benefit to using this method is, come test day, 35 …

I'm a tad confused. Are you saying that you're taking a PT, scoring it, then retaking it without BRing? If so, I would stop utilizing this method. The point of BR is to hone in on your mistakes, and learn from them. If you're simply retaking PTs wit…
While drilling:
Time yourself. You should allow yourself 8:45 tops. However, do not use a countdown timer, use a stop watch so that you can see how much time you're spending per passage. Once you've got a good grip on RC, start using a countdown tim…
1-3 times. Most people stick with 2/week. My PT/BR schedule is as follows:
Monday: PT and start BRing
Tuesday: BR
Wednesday: BR + review what I got wrong post-BR completion
Thursday: PT and start BRing
Friday: BR
Saturday: BR + review what I got wro…
Have you taken the LSAT yet? If so, are you happy with your score? If not, your primary focus should be on getting that score up.
That said, I volunteer at a place where I work with children with disabilities. I probably go once a week for a few hou…
@"Alex Divine" Nailed it.
Bear in mind that the point of fool proofing isn't to do as many games as possible. It's to learn how the game writers hide their inferences, and to be able to efficiently spot and utilize said inferences.
I fool proofed …
I read somewhere that the average point improvement per prep method is roughly 10 points. So, if you were to go through the entire 7Sage curriculum, you could expect to reach around a 162 by the time you complete it. I would take that statement with…
Nope, you should be fine with a December score, and as @Pacifico mentioned, for many schools even a February score will work. Focus on scoring within your target range, score consistently within that range, then register to take the LSAT.
Props to you for choosing to balance both. Personally, I waited until graduation to start studying for the LSAT.
However, balancing the two is possible. Focus primarily on school while you're still attending. You can always extend your LSAT studies …
Improving on LG requires constant exposure to the games. There are inferences to be made, and often those inferences transfer from one game to the others. Keep drilling the games, and fool proof them. If you can afford to, spend an entire month focu…
