  • One caveat to that is for certain older browsers you will not be able to see this at all and so you can't star anything. I learned this the hard way trying to do 7Sage at work on a government computer that still had IE 7 or something like that insta…
  • I think they may have also assumed that people were using their account at least once a month or more so there would have been plenty of time for them to have seen everything. Sure an email would have been nice, but on the other hand, why are people…
  • This is a list of the most affordable PTs that Dillon could find for everybody: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2770/list-of-affordable-pts-paperback-hard-copy As mentioned above, LSAC changed their policy on PDFs of PTs and make…
  • Oh okay thanks for the clarification @"Dillon A. Wright". I had seen your post and thought it was a bit more all encompassing.
  • I often find myself considering density of the questions and ACs when debating this topic in my head. Even within the ACs for a particular passage I will often answer the least dense questions with the least dense answers first, especially if I get …
  • I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think this might be a violation of LSAC and 7Sage TOS as per Dillon's post here: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/1396/important-note-about-the-june-2015-lsat
  • I just read and head straight to the questions. I think it's best to take a big picture approach to RC versus a minutiae approach, macro versus micro if you will. Anything that takes away from you getting a sense of the whole piece is just going to …
  • Go with whomever could give you a better recommendation that would be the most in depth, authentic and personal. For example, if you did an undergrad thesis for some reason and worked closely with one professor for a year or more and you crushed it …
  • Some of this was mentioned before but I'll try to consolidate what I think is the best advice here: 1. It sounds like you're leaning towards taking the June LSAT anyways, but I would say it seems like you know you shouldn't and are doing it just be…
  • The only thing I'll add to the already great advice is that if you weren't doing BR then presumably you were just looking at your score and moving on, perhaps giving a cursory glance at the questions you got wrong. So since you never reviewed any of…
  • If you don't have the LG Bundle PDFs from before the ban, I'd suggest getting a 10 Actual PTs booklet or one of the LG packs that Dillon highlights at the bottom of his post here: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2770/list-of-afforda…
  • Chocolate Peanut Butter KIND bars all the way!
  • I BR the PT, score it and go over the answers. Any questions I still don't get why I got wrong I watch the videos and if there were any difficult games I usually watch those videos too even if I got everything right, just to see the methodology used…
  • For sections with more than five questions I usually feel comfortable moving on if I can get -1 or less and understand why I got the one wrong... If it really threw me enough to make me second guess my skills overall in that area then I hit the prob…
  • I went through lessons in the syllabus as prescribed. Especially for LR videos with questions, I started solving the questions and then watching the videos. For LG and RC I completed the individual games and passages within each section. If by the e…
  • @nicole.hopkins I just got it and it is indeed snazzy... loving it so far...
  • @jdawg113 is right on the money. With over four months to go you can't really have a good sense of where you'll be in October. Just plan for October to motivate yourself and if you're not ready then don't take it. A great December test is much bette…
  • Started with a 158/BR 162 during a deployment last fall. I tinkered around with 7Sage for about a month and then life took over when I got home. I started up again in March with a schedule set to take the LSAT in October, and then finished the curri…
  • I agree with everything said so far, but will just add that if you get really stuck at the outset, it helps to quickly skim the questions to get an idea of what they're asking for. In certain cases you'll see several questions that are just rules ba…
  • Also, would it be possible to make the comments/questions at the bottom of each lesson searchable? I remember reading something during the course that I wanted to look up again but I can't find it and it seems we can only search the discussion forum…
  • Great post @"Jonathan Wang"... I think an issue that goes hand in hand with what you're talking about is that many people tend to believe the misconception that the LSAT is some sort of IQ test, which is a problem that seems to affect many standardi…
  • @psbrathwaite here is a link that Dillon made to consolidate a list of affordable PTs and where to find them: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2770/list-of-affordable-pts-paperback-hard-copy
  • I'd spend at most a day just looking over some LR questions and maybe do an LG or two. Then definitely take a timed PT to see where you're at. I started PTing after I finished the curriculum and did about a third of the LG Bundle to where I was gett…
  • If you're taking the June LSAT, then re-reading the Trainer is probably the best, somewhat low-key way to study during downtime. If you're going for the October LSAT and you've already been studying for almost five months, I'd say leave it all behin…
  • Just practicing how to put on a diaper and then wearing a diaper during PTs so I can relax enough to go while testing... It took a little getting used to since it's been a good thirty some years since I had to wear a diaper but I think I'm getting t…
  • Great question! I usually only read a passage once to begin with, even if I didn't understand everything. Instead I use the questions to make inferences/gain insight into the passage. If there is a main point question I try to gleam some info from t…
  • Even if you wait until October you are at the point where you should be doing everything timed. Not timing yourself is just setting yourself up for failure by inducing a false sense of security. Make your practice, even drilling, as realistic and cl…
  • Also, if you know where you are applying go ahead and check their exact LOR requirements. If there's a mandatory professor one, then supply one and supplement with the ones from your business colleagues. 2014 is pretty recent to not use a professor'…
  • What little activities are you referring to? Could you post a link to an example of the type of video you're talking about?
  • No worries, glad you could find what you needed!
