Hi all,

Sorry to be dramatic but i'm having a crisis here

PT average 159-160 After 10 PTs.

I am hoping to to go to the University Of Illinois law school for Fall 2020. I'm 25 and from the UK. Their deadline is March 15th.

I'm taking the January LSAT in 5 days time and panicing as I'm STILL struggling with Logic games. I've done over 100 unique sets, some multiple times and I still average about -10. but i've improved from the -20 i began with. I hoped i'd of been able to master them by now and i'm freaking out about it. Because i'm in the UK I cannot do the February exam. I feel so desperate i'm tempted to register for February in the US and fly there just to take it.

My LR and RC is consistently around -5 and i find them infinetly easier than LG.

If i manage to perfect Logic Games (or even raise LR or RC to - 2) in the 10 weeks before the March Exam and score a 167 plus over their medium of 162, do you think that would compensate for the late application? As they're not a T14 school, loads of decisions and scholarships are awareded well into June time. I would apply with my January score, include a Why X essay and ask they review the application upon receipt of the March score. If I'm an otherwise outstanding candidate, would they really care if i'm just a few weeks later than their deadline? judging from mylsn there is little difference in outcomes for those who applied ON the deadline of March 15 and even though who applied before Christmas.

I have 3 years of very solid work experience in public service. I've deferred going to law school for 3 cycles already and am desperate to move on with my life. I just can't wait another year.

Thank you,

I've already sat for the LSAT twice and both times done a writing sample. I'll be sitting for it again this January.

Do I have to do the writing again?

I paid for the LSAC package that includes the sample but do I really have to since I already have two on my record?

I’ve used the search tool, which is just not easy for some odd reason. They used to be nicely displayed under resources tab at top. It seems very hard to find them now...suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Hello,

When does LSAC typically release new test dates? Do they tend to release them in batches or one by one?

Thanks,

PB

I have recently noticed the language difficulty really plays a role in my LSAT score.

Under time pressure, I would not have enough time to read the stimulus and answer choices CORRECTLY to pick the right answer.

This leads me wonder if anyone has experience overcoming the language difficulties in LSAT? What are the things I can do to effectively improve in this area?

Also anyone can weigh in the trend of language difficulty in LSAT these years? I have recently done LR in old LSAT test, 20-40, where language seems to be quite a challenge.

When you apply to Yale or Harvard through the LSAC website. They want you to disclose if you have taken the GRE as well as the LSAT. Is that like a mandatory requirement? Why do we have to disclose this information?

Do they have a way of finding out if you have taken the GRE if you don't disclose that you have? Or is that voluntary admission they want us to do?

What are the main differences? Thanks so much!

How many games appear on any section ? A quick glance shows not more than 4 games which should total 23-24 questions.

Hey everyone,

I've been studying with 7Sage for a few weeks and I'm curious about your approach on taking notes and keeping track of your work, especially in terms of LR.

For instance, I used to BR problem sets by thinking to myself or out loud and did not take any notes. But lately I started taking detailed notes of the questions that I had trouble with in the problem sets by writing out the premise/conclusion and explanations for each AC on a Word doc. But I found this to be taking too much time (especially because I feel like I should review almost every question in the set) and I feel like it can become a bit of an overkill. I additionally draw some key diagrams that JY's using in his videos and noting down very minimal stuff, which I can easily review afterwards. But I'm not sure if I can/will review my question notes again.

I wonder if you have any recommendations on how to proceed with note taking/journaling. I would appreciate your insights!

I did a mistake this morning. I wanted to print the tickets but I chose the wrong choice, and mistake withdraw my test in Jan. Is there anyone know what can I do? Can I phone LSAC and ask for save my position?

Thanks for you all!!!! I really need help!!!! I was so stupid!!!!!!

Hello all,

I'm currently studying to take the February exam and I have a goal of about 170-172 in mind.

I recently started taking timed practice tests and my average score is around 164-165. When I take practice tests untimed, I score around 168-170. I find myself going over the 35 minutes in reading comprehension and occasionally in logical reasoning.

I have about 1.5 months left of studying and I'm open to trying new techniques to improve my score! If you don't mind sharing your ways with me, I would really really appreciate it!

Thank you~

I am having a hard time accessing the PDF files for the questions. The system tells me to enter a password & when I do it says the password is invalid. I have changed my password 3 times and I’m having no luck accessing them. #pleasehelp

I've been finishing my applications for schools and waiting to hear back from them still. Am I supposed to do the FAFSA right now too or can I wait to complete that after they've admitted me?

Hi, I understand that UC Davis law school has the following requirement: supplemental material combined with the personal statement must not exceed more than four pages. Supplemental addenda should follow your personal statement and be appropriately labeled within the personal statement document you plan to upload with your application.

With that said, my personal essay is 2.5 pages and my diversity statement is 1.5 pages, so if I combined them, one right after the other, it would meet the maximum. I was wondering if that is acceptable, or if we have to clearly separate the diversity statement in a whole new page?

Thanks!!

I took a diagnostic test on paper, then I circled in my anwers to the answer sheet on 7sage. I also want to circle in my blind review answers, like in the problem sets, so I can get more accurate analytics. I hope this is possible and if so, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on this.

Any idea when these might be available on the site?

Here's to another year of LSAT studying! Let's get those 170s!

I've had my Bachelor's degree completed for some time now. However, I came across a program at my local community college that would get me (yet another) Associates Degree (Legal Studies/Paralegal Program) and would also have me officially certified as a paralegal. This actually sounds like a really good idea for me considering my GPA is below a 3.0. I would; 1. Have the opportunity to take all ABA approved courses which, if I excel in them, would look good on my resume for multiple reasons and show that I have interest in the legal profession; 2. Boost my GPA (I assume, considering how LSAC computes your overall GPA); and 3. Become a certified paralegal which, in the long run, might help my employ-ability (maybe, I hope? :D )

Does anybody see any potential reasons why I shouldn't do this? I'm 25, and about 2.5 years removed from my undergrad, but not rushing into law school since I want to make the absolute most out of it and have the ability to get into a wide range of schools. Also, I live in New Jersey, which means that since I don't make enough money annually, I get to take this program for free! :D I feel like given my situation with my sub-par grades, and since I am not in a huge rush to get into law school and can finish the program in a year, I should do this. Any thoughts? Thanks so much!

After taking PT 76 on paper, I graded my scores on here. After I grade my pt's, the option to blind review comes up. For this pt, the blind review grading did not come up and it said "save and submit changes". My blind review score came up as the same score as my pt score but I was unable to put in my blind review answers. Any solution?

Hi all,

Do transcripts live forever on LSAC or do I have to re-submit every cycle i apply?Also, do recs carry over or must be submitted every year? i was going to apply, but decided to take a gap year.

the "Logic Games" category on the sidebar of the iPhone app for me is stuck with descriptions of the different LSAT courses 7sage offers, but I'm already signed into my ultimate+ account. I think this might be related to how the LG videos were removed from youtube. lmk if any of you know how to fix this

What do the scores on top and the percents at the bottom of answer choices reflect? I tried to search for a previous explanation but could not find it.

Thanks in advance.

what does the answer sheet look like ?

I’ve been taking practice LSATs on paper, which just works better for me. Is this allowed? Do I have to use the tablet? How could I request the paper copy?
