We are on!! Please bring your questions, I would love to talk through specifics of a problem area or even work through a game or LR question with anyone who is interested!

Hey jdieck, So the primary way I improved on LG was by watching JY's videos on how to solve, solving the game his way, and then returning to it later to see if I could remember the inferences. I would do this over and over for each practice game (al…

Now this is the second pencil thread. There can't be enough redundancy re: the importance of your primary LSAT tool. Palomino blackwing long point sharpener, hi-uni HB pencils. That is all.
-
Yes!!! That climb though... it's easy to make it a brief testimonial, but you've got months of hard work in between that really did the work!
-
Fantastic!! I love hearing these stories (expect the part where people waste time and money pre-7Sage). Glad to have you both here!!
-
@runiggyrun That's a very good reason to go! Hope you and your daughter have a fantastic trip! Some things are, indeed, more important than the LSAT. We can border on obsession here, but it's really important to have the perspective to prioritize ot…

YAASSSS!!!

This is a significant challenge (although I'm sure you will have a great trip!). I was actually just in Italy for vacation and I can say for my body it took well over 8 days to readjust completely (to Pacific Time). I hit serious sleepiness in the a…
-
I didn't realize you were still foolproofing the games, that's definitely a reason to delay PTs - you won't get great data out of them until you get your games game on point! Great that you are already seeing improvements. I drilled the games for at…

@"Accounts Playable" thanks for giving back to 7Sagers!! Excited for you to launch your tutoring services here.
-
@danielznelson glad you are finding it helpful! I think double checking it only takes an extra few seconds and can be well worth it. Also, I had a similar experience where formerly intuitive translations became harder and more confusing to me very l…
-
I would say get started on PTs in some form now, because that is precisely the work that will help you diagnose where you have weaknesses. You don't really get great data from your PTs before taking about 10 of them (post core curriculum), so gettin…

@danielznelson do you usually double check your rules on LG? I picked this habit up late in my prep and found it really helped to eliminate making mistakes copying the rules, and it also gave me a second pass to internalize the rules and understand …

Congrats Nicole!! They are lucky to have you!!!

@mercherstudio I was recently in an interesting group interview for applicants at Georgetown, and they had us run through a scenario as if we were the admissions committee deciding how to handle different issues with a law school application. The De…

What materials were you using prior to 7Sage? What is your goal score? Where did you score the last two times you took the test?
-
@cmelman95 said: Moral of the story is: Once you have acquired the skills, maintaining a clear and rested mind becomes a large part of the battle. Yes! I definitely echo the advice here - try a break, and trust what you know coming back, you'll ju…
-
@Chris127 Sounds like you're in a similar situation as I was with your strengths and weaknesses. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more. I proofed the LGs from 1-35 more than once; went through the bundle probably 1.5 times. You will know when …
-
@1LBound! I'm actually in a somewhat similar situation, my husband is job hunting right now but ultimately we'll have to decide where I go to school based at least partly on where he can find work. I would encourage you - if at all possible - to vis…

I started visiting early (especially my local school options), and my reflections after visiting were actually a factor in my broader decision to apply for law school. I sat in on classes, chatted with students when they would let me pepper them wit…
-
One note of caution here - I think it's good to not know what you're about to be up against. That simulates the real test more accurately. Of course if you want to get practice with harder sections, go for it, but I think in the course of regular PT…
-
@alexandergreene93 thanks for posting your story - that is so inspiring for others to hear! Congrats and way to stay dedicated and see that 23 pt increase!
-
@"Can’t Get Right" that is fantastic! I think if you are building enough true confidence (not overconfidence errors) to feel comfortable moving on before seeing all ACs, then go for it. As long as it's working for you, and you have done your own due…
-
@marcosmcqueen so glad you found and love the soundtrack!!
-
To echo some of the great advice already on here - study hard, plan for the earlier test, but be on your own timeline. Take the test when you're actually ready and you are PTing in the range you hope to score in. The amount of impact the LSAT has on…
-
I definitely lean on the side of always, always getting my eyes on each AC. If you're already fairly confident that you found the correct AC, skimming and eliminating the others should take less than 10 seconds IMO. What you're looking out for is an…
-
@twssmith I'm just glad my LSAT mania is appreciated here. I know you all would tape a camera to your head if I said it actually worked pretty well
-
Yup! Definitely part of the learning process - I see it as an opportunity to study your own test taking, and don't read into it unless it actually becomes a pattern.
-
Noooooo... Okay, anecdote here: because I bought almost all my prep materials in hard copy (before I was aware of the PDFs), I spent MANY hours in the copy store making my own copies for PTs and BR because... get this... you cannot pay a copy store …

@"Nicole Hopkins" congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you!! You deserve this after so many hours and so much time spent encouraging others. Woohoo!
