Hello Expert! I am a prospective international applicant from Bangladesh. I am currently pursuing a two-year LL.B. Professional degree and wish to become eligible to practice law in California.

Before applying to any U.S. LL.M. program, I would like to understand whether my Bangladeshi legal education may satisfy California’s foreign-educated applicant requirements.

Could you please advise me on the following?

1. Whether my two-year LL.B. Professional degree, together with my prior BBA degree, may qualify me to take the California Bar Examination.

2. Whether I would need to complete an LL.M. at an ABA-approved or California-accredited law school.

3. What credential evaluation, transcripts, and other documents I would need to submit.

4. Whether I can request a formal eligibility evaluation before enrolling in a U.S. law school.

I would be grateful for guidance on the appropriate procedure and applicable requirements.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,

Abu Asad

Country: Bangladesh

Hi all, I'm signed up for the October LSAC JD Digital Law School Forum that starts tomorrow (13th), 4-8pm, and I am wondering if anyone has attended one of these before? I'm not sure specifically what to expect, I won't be applying until (next) cycle, (Fall 2027) but I'm always overly prepared lol.

Any guidance, tips, tricks, hints, suggestions, anything, send my way please!

I’m looking to help someone out that is just beginning on their LSAT journey or just someone who would like to talk through some questions with.

For context I’m about 8 months into my studying journey going from a 143 diagnostic to a 162 real in September and 166 average on PTs. I am no where near an LSAT expert (hence the free haha) but I have made significant improvement and feel like I have some fair advice to offer.

What do I get out of it? I have always been able to master skills when I can teach them to others. I think this would be helpful as much to me as to you!

Just feel free to send me a message or drop a comment below!

This is my fourth attempt. For a solid eight months I've been studying for this retake while having this lingering doubt in my mind of "what if it all goes wrong again?"

But one of the greatest things I've learned through this process wasn't the underlying logic of LR or the structure of RC: it was being able to focus on the process and trusting the work that will bring me to tomorrow.

So if you're someone like me going into this test tomorrow or you're someone who already took it, trust yourselves that you have and will continue to make the right decisions. Trust yourselves that you've put in the right work that you can rely on when the going gets tough. Trust yourselves!

Just noticed this, are the 8s upside down??

Anyone know of a good place to get essay feedback, not too expensive?

Can anyone who is a night owl and took an early morning LSAT test tell me they didn't poop the bed??? Super nervous to take my test tomorrow. I usually wake up at 10 AM and even though I tried to fix my schedule before test day I woke up at 8, 8:30, and then 10 today.... There was NO time option for after 8 am... I was there the moment my scheduling opened too. :( Im planning on waking up at 6 am, taking an instant walk, eating a nice light breakfast, and then doing like 3 LR questions. I'm so scared about the morning being an issue I rented a hotel room just to be 30 minutes closer to the test site XD

We're given: The Ridge fire is lit. Rule 3 states "If the Mill fire is lit, the Well fire or the Ridge fire is lit"

- Since it's an "or" statement, only one of the conditions (Well or Ridge fires being lit) need to occur. The Ridge fire is lit, so why would we not be able to tell that the Mill is lit or unlit?

Thanks!

I take the LSAT again today. Now while I expect to jump some points. It won’t be a whole lot. I’m a reverse splitter, for reference I got low 15x, but I have a 4.12, what would be your advice to someone in my spot

Taking the LSAT for the first time in November and I can't seem to bridge the gap between my BR scores and timed scores. Tbf I started doing practice untimed and then moved to doing timed last week but I'm feeling super discouraged about my timed scores and don't know what to do. Any advice for getting better at timed is v appreciated

Do you guys warm up with both LR and RC drills on test day? I did 5-10 1-2 star difficulty LR questions before a PT and performed at my peak for the LR sections. I was wondering if y'all incorporate both LR and RC easy drills on test day or if that's too much. Any feedback is appreciated!

Is anyone else having trouble navigating the site? I'm trying to click on "Study" and access parts of the pop up (e.g. Learn, Practice, Analytics) but nothing is happening :( the page also freezes so the pop up doesn't go away even when I try to click off of it. Most other parts of the website aren't responsive either.

Reloading and restarting my device hasn't worked.

Does anyone have suggestions or people they have used for personal statement help? (Affordable) Does Brad Barbay do a good job (his is just so expensive to justify)?

I'm currently studying for the LSAT—I just finished the Foundations section and I'm about to start Logical Reasoning. My goal is to take the LSAT in a few months so I have everything ready to apply for the upcoming cycle.

Right now, I'm home all day dedicating my time exclusively to the LSAT, but I'm looking to start working. I study about 3h a day so the time Im not studying isnt too productive aside from when I workout. I know I can study more but to be honest at around that 3 sometimes closer to 4hr mark I think Ive learned as much as I can for the day. I'm torn between two very different paths and would love to hear from anyone who has navigated a similar spot:

• Option 1: A convenient, part-time job. It's close to home, very easy, and leaves me with plenty of time and mental energy to focus on studying. The downside is that it pays minimum wage and the experience won't really add anything to my resume. Its a gym front desk. Id do this for a few months and once I get a decent score on the LSAT I can then apply to the other job.

• Option 2: An entry-level legal position. This would be full-time and offer much better pay and relevant legal experience. However, between the commute and the standard work hours, it would be a significantly heavier daily commitment alongside with the gym which I do 6x a week.

My main dilemma: Should I take the easy part-time job for now, lock in a good LSAT score over the next few months, and then pivot to applying for full-time legal jobs once the test is out of the way? Or is it genuinely manageable to work a full-time legal job while still making strong progress on the LSAT and maintaining a consistent workout routine? If anyone has any experience they can share, Id greatly appreciate it aswell!

Hi All!

I'm taking the October LSAT in a couple of days, and I have a few questions! I've taken the LSAT once before, but I took it remotely, so this will be my first time taking it in person.

1. During the 10-minute break, how will I know how much time I have left if I need to go to my locker or use the restroom? Obviously, I won't have my phone with me. Are traditional watches allowed, or is there another way to keep track of the time?

2. What am I allowed to bring with me to the testing cubicle? When I take practice tests, I keep it pretty simple: water, paper, pencils, and lip balm. Will they let me bring lip balm in? Lol, I constantly bite my lips, so I always have it with me.

3. I know there may be people taking different exams at the testing center (MCAT, DAT, GRE, etc.), so I'm assuming people will be getting up and leaving at different times. I feel like I could get distracted by that. Do they provide headphones or earplugs, or should I bring my own earplugs? If you've taken the LSAT at a testing center, do you prefer the headphones or earplugs?

4. Any other tips? Pls LMK!

Who do you guys got? I lowkey got Kevin since he's basically the prime CP3 of the LSAT with the way he's able to throw us some dimes with his explanations, but I can 100% see JY as Bron

(ive gone completely insane)

Are there people having trouble watching the recorded sessions? I try to watch them, but they never play or lag really badly. If you know how to fix this let me know please, that would be amazing!!!

Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out why I struggle so much with studying for the LSAT. I have been practicing since last February on and off, and every time I return to it I feel lost. During my study sessions, I feel like I'm looking everywhere but the videos 7 Sage provides, my brain starts day dreaming, and my body wants to click something even when there is nothing to click. I have never noticed this in my school studying, but now that I have a full time job, I have seen myself doing it more and more.

My question is: Does anyone have a good tactic to keep my mind from drifting and keep me engaged with the material? Has anyone found good ways to prevent fidgeting?

Hi! I’m looking for an affordable and reputable personal statement editor. A lot of the services I’ve found are pretty expensive, and I’m hoping to spend no more than $100. Does anyone have recommendations for an editor they’ve personally used and had a good experience with?

I've hard advice that you should use a Wrong Answer Journal, but I'm not sure exactly how that works, what to include, and how to go about reviewing it. Does anyone use a Wrong Answer Journal? If so, can you explain how it works? Does 7Sage have a built-in mechanism for it? Thanks!

I am writing this as I open my score for the last LSAT I will ever take. After sacrificing my entire summer, I have finally achieved my goal, and I want to remind you that you can do it too.

I am not some insane test taker or academic genius, and I want my point increase as evidence that being "smart" is not even remotely necessary for finding success on this exam. You will hear countless pieces of advice about the exam: correcting mindset, developing good study habits, or even whether a bad LSAT score should hold you back from applying to law school at all.

However, I think the best advice I ever got was from Mike Kim's "LSAT Trainer" when he said that:

"The best way to ensure success is to deserve it."

Every drill, section, PT, and sacrifice you made will be worth it as long as you refuse to quit.

Keep grinding and keep pushing; you got this.

Thank you, JY, Kevin, and the 7Sage team, for helping turn my dreams into a reality.

i messed up by buying lawhub and 7sage sub on a new account becuase i wanted a fresh start but no i cant even use my new account. i need some help here bad!

I have been so doing so poorly with RC, but today changed lol. this makes me so happy!!!!!! I was never able to break out of the 150s until now. If i can do it, so can uuuuuu. My test is a week today (oct 7) and RC has been keeping me back the most. I'm so happy i found a strategy that works for me. Good luck to my fellow october test takers and future ones!!
