Hi,

I applied to a number of schools last year, and was very excited to receive an offer from a Canadian law school (although it's for the dual JD program). However, I had to decline the offer due to a number of family reasons.

I am applying again this cycle, and I wanted to know if I can apply to the same law school again even though I had to decline their offer during the last cycle?

I know that you get something like a notebook with some pages and that you can ask for more if need be, but I wanted to know, what are its dimensions roughly? I imagine it's either printer paper size or like those smaller blue booklets they give out on university exams. Thanks!

Hello everybody!

With a fresh PT just released and LSAT writings around the corner I figure its time to host another public Blind Review seeing as how the video explanations for the questions are not available and there may be some out there who want to do PT 88 before they are released.

I am hosting a blind review session for PT 88 next Saturday at 11 am eastern. There is no need to register just clink on the link provided below at the right time and you'll be in.

We will cover all the sections but history tells me LR will receive the bulk of the attention. The idea is to come into this session as a true blind review, and to get the most out of this session I would suggest that you do not check the answer sheet and bring the questions you are unsure of during the session. I will provide the answers as we go along so if there is a question that you did not flag but got wrong we can address that on the spot.

Hey 7Sagers,

For a limited time, you can pick up PrepTest 88 (September 2019 LSAT) for $5.97 here:

https://classic.7sage.com/addons/

This comes with digital testing and the password-protected PDF of PT88, and a +1 month extension to your account.

Once the explanations are available, they will automatically be added to your account if you have access to this PT.

Please note that you must be enrolled in a Starter, Premium, or Ultimate course to add this PT on. Ultimate+ automatically has this PT added on.

Here in about 2 weeks, my Starter status will expire and switch to Alum (I think). I'm currently in my admissions cycle and will become a bit more scarce here. I know 7Sage really helped me on this journey, and I don't know that I could have done as well without the program or this supportive community. (3(/p)

To everyone still at it: keep going. There is another side. I have seen it! It's also very stressful, but it's pretty awesome. :)

For those who have been curious, so far, I have 2 acceptances and 4 apps out. One acceptance came with a scholarship, and the other came with a full-ride offer. I hope to come back and update you guys on how it all panned out in the end. Hopefully by February, I'll know for sure.

Keep fighting the good fight, guys! It's worth it.

Hello,

I just got a very short email from LSAC saying that "due to circumstances beyond our control" my test center location has been changed for the October LSAT. The new test center is an hour further away and I registered several months ago (way before the deadline to register). I really don't want the stress and confusion of having to drive an extra hour the morning before the LSAT. Does anyone know why this happened and if it is worth calling them to see if I can change back?

I know so many people on here are scoring 160+, but I just took my first post-CC PT and I feel great. Diagnostic was a 145, scored a 152 on my first test and scored 167 on my BR of that PT. Lots of time until the February test to continue improving, but just feeling excited to finally see some progress and to not have to guess where I'm at based on problem sets!

Hey, sagers. For those of you over this hump, I'm seeking advice as I approach my retake on Oct. 28. The Sept. test, 88, which just dropped, is basically the only fresh material for me at this point, so I'm glad I'll have the chance to take it this Sunday. But, I've heard it's actually a good idea to refrain from scoring and reviewing the final PT before the real deal because if I do well (yay!) I'll be confident, but if I suck (boo!) I'll be terrified. I retook 87 today, which I haven't spent much time with since June and did OK, so the alternative plan would be to focus on BRing the heck out of that one and spending the rest of the week doing single sections, reviewing my notes and chilling out to get in the right mindset. Please advise if you can. I love 7Sage so much, but I can't wait for this journey to end!

Is the best way to use a tutor to help you Blind Review? Or to review questions after youve already done the Blind Review and that you've gotten wrong/still dont know why its wrong or right.

Anyone whos gotten a tutor, please feel free to share your experiences or what they have done to help you, or if a tutor really helps you at all.

Hey folks - how do you shatter your thinking/intuition that brought you to the wrong answer choice?

It's been a long journey for me starting from last december when I decided to study for the LSAT. Background on me (hopefully not coming off as whiny), I'm a first-gen post-grad and and am the only person in my family that has ever even attempted to go to law school. Currently, I've been struggling to get a job (to work the year before school) while also trying to finish my LSAT asap before I start working. So I've been on the post-grad-job search-life and the study-for-the-LSAT life for about 5 months and it's been rough. I've tried to educate myself as much as possible in this process on my own and I know how important the LSAT is to get into the schools I want/for scholarships. Due to mental health issues and working all through undergrad, I have a lower GPA than what I feel is comfortable for applying to schools (but also have a double major and a minor so? but that's besides the point....) so I need to be a splitter.

I worked through senior year to get ready for the June test right after graduation. I took it and completely bombed.

Then I got 7Sage in July and it's been a Godsend but I've only just finished the curriculum and haven't had ample time to practice. But I still registered for the Oct LSAT thinking I would be ready. I stopped taking preptests bc I didn't want to waste them and I wanted to make sure I fully let go of the old habits I had before 7Sage. But now that it's like a week before the LSAT, I am seriously considering withdrawing bc my first preptest after finishing the curriculum isn't even close to what I want.

I was thinking to still take the test bc it took so much for me to purchase it that it hurts to let it go but I know I can do better than what I would do if I take it. I definitely know that if I take it, I would be going for a third LSAT anyway so shouldn't I just withdraw? A great scholarship to my dream law school is worth much more than $200 right? Or would a third LSAT not hurt?

I like to BR my answers and review the wrong ones all in the same studying session so I don't lose my train of thought, however im only just beginning to study so I do have a fair amount of wrong answers.

Im wondering if there's a way that you can just go through individual sections, BR them and then review the right answers without having to do the entire test?

Thanks!

I am applying to start law school in fall 2020. I both graduated college and started my job in August 2019. Will I be considered “1 year out of college”/1 year of work experience when applying to law schools, since it will be around that much time until I start law school? Or will I basically be viewed as kjd?

Thank you

Hi everyone - I just got the Microsoft Surface Go Tablet and I've been trying to do some problem sets on it. I'm having a lot of trouble with highlighting/underlining (with my fingers and a stylus). Can someone give me some pointers as to how to do this? Or point me to a tutorial? I've been searching online but haven't come across actual "how to take test on tablet" tutorials that details the highlighting. I know this sounds silly but I want to get this down so it's not another thing to worry about when taking the test. Thanks!

Hey guys!

I did all the way up to Sufficient Assumptions and beginning to work on Pseudo SA. I wanted to work on Logic Games as it is a weak section for me and this is not my first course. I wanted to finish LG so I can start PT'ing properly. I see 3 options.

I'm registered for the November 2019 LSAT, but every test center is currently full. My account says that I have a seat reserved but I'm technically not guaranteed a spot yet. Does anyone know if LSAC usually finds locations for reserves? I'm nervous that they may make me take the January LSAT instead. I'm trying to get scholarships at decent schools (not necessarily aiming for t-14, but will apply to a few) but I'm not sure if this is possible applying this late in the cycle. I didn't score that well for September and I basically only have a month to study for November, so I wouldn't mind taking January to have more studying time. I really want to start in 2020 but I don't know if that's realistic if I have to do the January LSAT. Would appreciate any advice or feedback

Hi all — if I haven’t taken any timed practice tests and I’m taking the October LSAT in less than 2 weeks — Which test should I start with? I am thinking June 2019 and then working backwards?

I got a 157 on the July 15th test and improved to a 169 on the Sept 21st test! I studied 30/40 hours a week for those 9 weeks, mostly drilling PTs, BRing, and fool proofing logic games. My goal was a 168 and after july I never thought that I'd be able to achieve it. I spent so much time looking for success stories on these forums hoping that they'd boost my confidence, so I decided to post one of my own.

Just study hard and know that you can do it!! (Meditation and visualizations are really helpful too)

Do you take it at home? Im not sure I am understanding when and how it is administered.

143 to 173

Thank you JY, I couldn't have done it without 7Sage. And a big thank you to Jonathan Wang, Mike Kim, Daniel Sieradzki, Josh Aldy, Patrick Tyrell, Graeme, Alex, the people in my study group, and many others.

150 on diagnostic to 167 on September. Thank you so much 7sage!! For those out there who read the comments/threads that say you can’t really improve your score, it is possible. Take your time, study the way you need to, and don’t worry about what others say. Handle your test anxiety, relax, and you will be surprised by what you can accomplish. For me, I finally needed to realize that this test did not define me. When I finally said “screw it,” my score improved significantly. You got this!

Hi guys im pretty sure these kind of questions were asked many many times.

but somehow i had to let it out too.

i started the journey about a year ago but when i started i was just browsing and getting to know what lsat was

since i have a fulltime job i'd just drill here and there (didnt know 7sage back then) and started committing this july

July-Aug mainly finishing CC and drilling, Aug-Sep PTing i took about 5PTs

and i took sept test, score was lower than i expected but nothing really surprising since i bombed LG the one that im good at.

I was just whining about my score to my bf and how i felt 2months of intense studying might have been ,timewise, not enough,

in response, i heard something shocking from him saying that

'its just a standardized test the longer you studying does not mean you will get better (somepart i agree), 2-3 months of studying should get you where your maximum potential would be at (i disagree)'

as i was studying i started to learn and see the patterns, flaws and gaps i could anticipate the answers before i read AC. A clear sign that much room to improve.

well i know his opinion shouldnt matter since it's coming from someone hasnt done LSAT

(he is super smart ;p and i guess most of his lawyer friends didn't take very long to get a good lsat score so he thinks it's easy)

but its somehow very discouraging coming from someone very close to me. Also making me think i might not be meant for this path.

anyhow long story short,

my problem is this emotional rollercoaster is tackling me to focus, i registered for NOV so i have no time to waste

please help me to get out of this deep self pity hole.

and the other tips im asking is my reading is very slow

my TImed pt and BR score gap is huge sometimes by 20 points mostly because i cant finish in time.

i know reading speed boosts with time and practice

RC i can never get to the last psg but the psgs i read id get -0~-2

thanks for reading my lame ranting

i usually deal with it by myself but this time i needed someone or somewhere to talk to

pleas share any thoughts and advice!

Hoping I'll be able to use it as a PT before I take in October!

I may have missed this somewhere in one of these lessons, but correct me if I'm wrong -- "unless" introduces the sufficient conditions?
