I'm about to wrap up the application process, and to pass time I've been watching videos of moot court arguments, but I've watched mostly Yale and Harvard students. It seems so intimidating given how quickly they talk and the questions they're asked. Are all law school 1L presentations like this? I think I'm getting ahead of myself because I'm judging myself based on how well I can follow along with their arguments but i'm not even a law school student yet! Do you feel you've been well prepared to argue like these people on youtube?? I'm nervous now even though I was excited about law school before.

Just curious. I imagine they give you plenty, but just wanted to know

Ive been studying for about 3 months and Now that I have a grasp on the test I want to purchased 7sage to hone my skills. My problem is that I dont know where to start. Im considering the 7sage starter or the premium and I would gradually work my way up to the ultimate+. I worry thst since im not a true beginner to the lsat that The starter pack will feel like busy work and i wont see any improvement in my understanding of the lsat. Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this helps, but sometimes, I think of events in life as my dying act. You know the saying: live every day like it's your last? Corny, and perhaps morbid, but if used correctly, I think it can help us focus our mental energy. For example, the LSAT: if the LSAT were the final act in my life, it would matter not to me whether I achieve a certain score; instead, what would matter to me would just be that I tried my best. The goal in life is to find contentment and satisfaction, and all that really requires is just knowing we did what we could. The score is unchangeable, and meaningless in this scenario, since I would be long gone.

This perspective helps to treat the test as an end for its own sake, and not merely as a means to something else, even if it so clearly is. This perspective also helps to divide big goals into smaller steps so we can focus on one thing at a time. This exercise is a classic buddhist meditation, and I assume is part of the reason why some monks are so chilled about everything. I hope it can help you.

I was wondering how the process of applying early decision for a URM is? I'm very nervous to apply early decision anywhere because of the possibility of not receiving a scholarship. I was wondering if being a URM would help concerning the aid I would possibly receive.

.

I spoke to my top choice today and I am already accepted. I scored their median score on my first try but when I asked what I would need for a significant jump in scholarship they told me I would need at least a 6 point increase. I know I didn't study hard enough the first time so I know I can improve but is jumping from a 157 to a 163 by January even feasible? And where should I start? Should I just repeat the whole course? My worst section was reading comp.

I’ve seen comments here and there about gulc being like a law school scam and they game their numbers by having such a large class size. NAALP data looks good though unless I’m reading it wrong.

Just got invited to a group interview, nice to have some movement on my apps.

Today I took PT 79 and scored a 173, finally breaking the 170 barrier. My average over the 8 PTs I've taken is about a 166, so I was pleasantly surprised (an understatement) with my score today. One thing about today was that I didn't doubt myself as much - I trusted my instincts a lot more, even when that meant moving on from questions I wasn't 100% sure about. That meant that I wasted a lot less time and was actually able to finish every section in time except for LG (on which I had to guess on the final two q's but miraculously got a -1 on the section).

I'm ten days away from test day and was wondering if anyone had any sort of advice on how I can stay in the 170+ zone. I plan on taking 2-3 more PTs before test day. For some context, I've finished all of LSAT Trainer and recently finished Graeme Blake's mastery seminars on LSAT Hacks. I've been doing a few PTs every week for the past few months and drill LG and RC sections regularly (LR is my strongest, most consistent section without a doubt).

Any sort of advice would be greatly appreciated, and best of luck to anyone else taking the November test!

Hey guys I'm wondering if the mastermind watch is banned? Has anyone used it on a recent test?

What distracts you most while studying? What attempts do you make to stay focused and overcome distractions?

Lately I find myself checking for news on social media once I’ve worked through a problem set as a sort of break. I start to reach for my phone more and more and soon it becomes a distraction. Dang Facebook!

Really debating about this took tomorrow off from work to get some extra study time in and planned to do my final PT tomorrow but I had a terrible day at work and got into a argument with a loved one. I really need to hit reset tonight but haven't completed the necessary tasks to be ready for tomorrow. Should I spend tomorrow drilling and doing timed section and just do my last PT Saturday? Last time I did that the week before the test it left me feeling very much like I didn't have enough time reviewing my PT to hit those last minute needs. Hope this makes sense today was a tough day and have been super off since this morning...

What is the best approach to using preptest 01-35 after finishing the cirriculum?

Hi! I am taking the LSAT in Jan 2019. I have completed a prep course(Not 7Sage) and sadly have not noticed much progress with my score/studying habits. My highest PT score being 142 and lowest 132. I wish I had signed up for the 7sage Core Curriculum earlier on when I started this journey.

Do you(7Sagers) feel I would be able to complete the core curriculum in a months time? and then just do PT's for Dec and Jan...I am wondering this is realistic study plan to meet my target score of 160 in Jan. I am not sure how much time is recommended for people to complete the core curriculum.

Thanks :)

About a week and a half left now, and my PT scores are steadily decreasing one after another, for the past 4-5 tests. Not huge drops, but 1-2 points one test after another. Very consistently so. Very frustrated and worried, scores should be going up, now freaking down.

Feeling a little burnout, but nothing too much to warrant these drops, I feel.

Not sure what to do. Debating between a) stop taking PTs and just review past tests or CC

b) go even more hardcore through remaining PTs and hope scores don't keep dropping.

Kind of freaking out.

I had my first dream about law school. All this time and I've read a few posts here and there about dreams. Here is mine. I shoplifted at two stores. By the time I left the second store, with what looked like a white extension cord (no idea why), the cops were on to me. It was like watching a tv show but it was me and I was trying to hide from them (along with the white extension cord). They were after me and I knew it. I thought well this is it - I will now have to check off the "character and fitness" box and disclose the shoplifting and potential arrest. I will never go to law school now. I remember having the worst feeling about screwing up and knowing that my dream of going to law school was now gone. It felt so real!! I'm so glad I woke up but was really shaken up about it!! Whew - back to studying.

I believe JY said 40 is the ballpark number of PTs a student should aim to take before the LSAT, but I may be misremembering.

Hey future lawyers,

Don't forget to vote!

So... I just started studying for the LSAT a couple months ago when I decided to take a shot at being a lawyer. I was studying wit Kaplan book for a few weeks and covered most of the logic games before I started 7sage a couple of weeks ago. I'm still on strengthening questions and I haven't taken a diagnostic prep test (which I'm doing with the june 2007 prep test tommorow.) Any tips on the specific lessons I need to definitely need to cover before the November exam? I'm aware that I will probably have to retake it but I still want to do my best this first go round.

I'd love to hear opinions on this... especially from top scorers. I'm PT-ing around 165 right now and time is my issue on missing RC and LG Q's. I have been typically reading all 5 answer choices but I've been trending away from that recently. If I've read the stimulus carefully and know what answer I'm looking for, I may just skim for the correct AC and move on. Do you think this is the best approach? Or is it better to eliminate answers and confirm the right choice (get two chances instead of one to get it right)? This may be an area where I just need to figure out the best approach for myself but let me know what you think.

Just to give everyone a little back ground info about my LSAT journey. I've been study for the LSAT for about 4 years now, since graduating from college. I have been through a number for different courses (binary solutions - in person class at NYU, velocity lsat-online/remote tutoring) and read a good deal material (LSAT trainer, LSAT super prep books, Power score bibles,). By far 7sage is the best course that I have been through thanks to the community and the truth in "lawgic" that they teach. I'm scheduled to sit for the Nov. 17 LSAT and my best score has been a 151 thus far but my blind review potential is showing a 164 (theoretical best). How can I close the gap in this amount of time if possible? My target score is anywhere above a 155 - 160. My reading comp is my weakest section where i'm getting 10/14 on timed 20/27 BR. Games are my best section 15/16 timed 21/23 BR. and LR is middle of the road 15/20 and 9/19 timed, 23/26 and 18/25 BR.

I've recently watched the post core curriculum and i'm starting to follow some of the steps but i'm open to any advice you all may have for me.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I applied last cycle and got into my "B reach school" T-50 with a scholarship but I took a year off from work and to take the lsat again using 7sage and to try and get more money and get into my A school (T 5-13).

I'm an International Student and I am well aware that you need to be a US, Canadian or an Australian citizen in order to apply for an LSAC Fee Waiver.

However my financial constraints make it very arduous to proceed with all the application costs (CAS Registration, College Applications Fee, Test Fee etc.)

Is it possible in any way possible for International students such as myself to apply for an LSAC Fee Waiver?

Any help in this regard is duly appreciated.

During the actual LSAT, is it ok to quickly take a sip between sections? If not, what to do if the thirst has become distracting?

Drinking ample fluid before the test might be a problem too since that will make me want to go to bathroom prematurely, which is distracting, too...

I’m a coffee drinker so the dehydrating and diuretic effect of caffeine is a concern for me, even though I only drink one cup a day, in the morning. But I don’t have the capacity to wean off coffee now since the test is in two weeks and the withdrawal effect can be a huge headache (pun intended).

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

I started studying for the LSAT last year in October 2017. I took the December LSAT and got a 137. I haven't studied since. I would like to take the September 2019 LSAT and if need be the December 2019 test. What course is best suitable for me? I really want to score between 160 and 170 and do well to hopefully get scholarships to pay for school?
