Is the 7sage package like a class?

kind of. it's just pre-recorded videos of every question on the LSAT but regarding the curriculum, they put apart question types and stuff and do lessons on it then do questions to show you how you should approach them

Yeah, self guided class I would say. They have a ton of "chapters", each chapter being a different skill on the test. Some are underlying abilities like logic and grammar comprehension (they do the best job of anywhere explaining necessary and sufficient conditions, how to analyze them, and how to use them). They also have lessons for each question type in LR, where they give you an example problem, explain the underlying comprehension required to understand it, and strategies on how to solve it. Then they have practice problems, quizzes, flashcards, etc to supplement the curriculum.

It's honestly incredibly useful.

So true. I'm actually redoing the curriculum a second time along with drilling and find that concepts I had learned the first time around but was unsure of in practice are now being ingrained in my head.

Also, redrilling the flashcards and reviewing the drills is EXTREMELY helpful. I highly recommend 7Sage

Piggy backing off of her post... I want to emphasize to the new guys that you should TAKE YOUR TIME the first time through the curriculum. I rushed through the first time, as well as numerous others on here and on 7sage. You will be tricked into thinking you've learned certain things and will skip through the videos or skip problem sets, only to realize that a few weeks down the line you have a huge weakness in a given area. It's ineffective to skip through the first time, because you end up spending twice as much time revisiting as you would if you had just sat through it and mastered it the first time.

So do you guys think that 7sage is miles ahead of simply using MH books, 7sage LG videos, and every PT?

Is this a subtle jab directed to me? I will fite u kid!!!

well, the 7sage curriculum can be enough by itself to help you do well, imo.. you still need PTs though

No.

There is no silver bullet to this test. That's the only method that's going to work is learning the concepts and spending hours on hours for months practicing real LSAT questions.

Of course, but some materials teach concepts better than others. Just asking how people felt about 7sage vs. books.

Just to clarify, I meant 7sage + PTs vs. books + PTs. Just realized my original comment read differently.

From what I've heard (and this is me speculating), some of the other books will teach you ways to game the test more or less. Other places will teach you tricks and tips to getting the right answer, while 7sage teaches you to comprehend and understand, so that you can arrive to those tips and tricks on your own. The fundamental approach resonates well with me, because that feels like a truer sense of “mastering” the material, which should be more flexible if you get a never before seen question when you are sitting for the test.

The other benefit to 7sage is that it is constantly being updated. If you buy a book, you don’t get the new revisions for free. Whereas the website, once you pay, you have access to whatever falls into your given price package. Even with the starter account, you get the full curriculum, so as new material is released, you still get those updates without paying more.

I also agree with Alex though, there is no “one size fits all” approach to LSAT studying. Some people will do better with the books and some people will do better with 7sage. It just comes down to personal preference.

34 laid out a good ranking
3.4-3.5 Are about the same
3.2-3.4ish
3.0-3 2
and. sub 3.0

you've got we so you are separated from your GPA. I just wish you could spam CC classes to boost your gpa. if this is the next revelation I'm taking 2 years off and doing CC classes

hey LSAC, if you're seeing this, can you make the September 2017 LSAT have all sequencing games? I cannot do them and they are the toughest things in the world and I would really like you to challenge me on test day. So please give us (U.S. takers--disclosed) all 4 sequencing games

thanks<3

Orrrrr... 5 sections of baby level grouping?

or 5 sections of just sequencing games...

imagine.... lol I'd finish each section so early that I'd get a few good power naps in

I dunno - To be fair, I can't really speak to 7sage because I didn't use it other than sometimes the free LG videos. But neither me nor our late illustrious leader (and some of the other high scorers in the Sept 2016 group) used 7sage and I don't think we struggled for it. I do think books were a better option for me because, as I said, videos and online activities don't really work for me and I much prefer to read and work on paper.

If you want to and can afford to spend $700 or whatever it costs, then go for it but it's not necessary, and imo the "learning concepts" part of LSAT prep is very marginal compared to practice, so I doubt 7sage would give much of an advantage over books. It's definitely not "miles ahead."

$$$ and then $$ lol

Stanny is the only school i would pay sticker at, lots of folks with my numbers either get dinged or hella money from Duke/UVA/Mich. I would like to practice BL in Texas if I accrue so much crippling debt but otherwise I'm clerk orientated rn

I honestly couldn't tell you. Those are the only questions I always get right. My biggest issue is time when it comes to "total and complete list of ___..." (forgot what these are called)

I physically cannot do sequencing games. my body freezes and I panic, they're so hard

p.s. LSAC, also give a bunch of main conclusion questions in LR please, those are pretty damn tough, seriously..
