Lol, it's dumb but I'm actually seriously wondering.

Can we get away with imperfect bubbling? When taking practice tests, I avoid bubbling outside the circle, but I don't prioritize completely filling in the bubbles - many are mostly filled, but not completely filled. Is that ok?

Hey fellow 7sagers,

Need some studying advice - not sure if this has already been discussed in the forum previously. If so, I do apologize!

So far, I have sort of carved out this studying plan model:

Phase 1) Finish Content of the Syllabus for RC, LR, LG

Phase 2) Do ALL Problem Sets (Goal: Strengthening my knowledge and foundational skills)

Phase 3) Do Timed Sections from PTS 40 - 60 (Goal: To improve my timing and strategy)

Phase 4) Do All PTS from 60 and above (Goal: Putting everything I have learned altogether & fine tuning my approach)

At the moment - I do not have a set date to write the test, but my prep goal is to help reach about 170. With that stated, I am currently in Phase 2 of my studying and I sort of want to maximize this opportunity. I really want to improve my LG and RC skills during this phase. In LG specifically- being able to recognize patterns & speed improvement. For RC - at least try to complete a passage below 10 minutes & find tuning my annotating skills.

With this in mind - when folks have tried to improve in certain sections, do you try to dedicate a block of studying time for a particular section? To clarify - for example, take two weeks of full LG drilling to improve in LG sections and not studying anything else besides. Simirarily doing the same for RC. Has anyone tried this? Is there any other approach?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi all,

I just bought the LSAT Trainer to supplement my studies with 7sage. For context, I started with the Powerscore Bibles, have done 7sage CC, and have taken 6 PTs. Most recent PT was 165 with a 174 BR:

LG -2 (new PR; finished fool-proofing)

LR -11 (higher than usual despite LR drilling in the past, but I neglected LR for a while b/c of FPing )

RC -5 (new PR)

I am wondering what folks think would be the most effective use of the Trainer.

Keep taking a weekly PT and read the trainer in between? Stop PTing and knock-out the Trainer? Some combination of the two with intermittent PT breaks?

Also, for context I work full-time.

Thanks for everyone's input; I really appreciate it! 7sager's rock

i was doing some brainstorming on ideas for my personal statement

and wanted to get the communities take on them.

i studied abroad in the middle east for 3 yrs and the academy i studied in lacked a gym . the closest gym to us was about an hour away and exorbitantly expensive. i am a fitness fanatic and after a year of working out in my room with whatever objects i could use as weights i decided that this has to end. i went to the school and petitioned them to give me a room in the dormitory to use as a gym, after many long arguments, they agreed to give me a small room as long as the school would have no expenses from the gym. I then went out and fundraised money for gym equipment and new flooring. i was able to raise a few thousand dollars. i travelled 2 hrs to closest gym supplier and purchased whatever machinery and weights we could afford and the flooring, they shipped it to the academy. and i spent a week installing the flooring myself and building all the equipment, for the next 2 years i did the maintenance and upkeep of the gym until i came back stateside.

any thoughts on this idea would be much appreciated . thanks for reading!

I finished the CC in May, have been doing LG and LR drills, as well as taking a mixture of timed and untimed PTs for the past four months. I am writing the November LSAT, how should I structure my study schedule from now until November to maintain my LG score, and to increase my LR and RC scores. Although RC is my worst section, I have been dedicating a lot of time to LR because I think that's where I can gain the most amount of points given the time left. But since I now have more time to study, how should I tackle RC? Drill one section per day? I also struggle to finishing on time. Any suggestions from you will be greatly appreciated!

Should craft a new personal stamenent for a school I’m reapplying to? Also is there any other key things to consider when reapplying? Thanks in advance!

Hey Sagers,

A bit of a strange question here, but here goes: Does anyone know the computer device J.Y. uses (or anything comparable to it) to write on the screen when going through the CC and the questions?

While I am still reserving timed drills and PT's for physical pencil and paper, I think this is a better option to use for drilling other material considering the printing, storing, and maneuvering through hordes of paper of drilling material is cumbersome and expensive. Thus, I am looking for a digital and more eco-friendly alternative.

Any and all help is appreciated!

I am planning to start recording myself while I am doing drills and reviewing my video footage for both LR and RC just wondering if anyone has a system that works for them, especially for RC.

I’m visiting my TC next week and have a meeting scheduled wth an admissions advisor. It’s a 20 min meeting...really short. Do I just ask them what they’re looking for in an applicant and let them talk or am I trying o sell myself orrrr

Hey!

Wondering if anyone has attended one(+) of LSAC's law school forums and if yes, what your experience was like?

Also, is there a way to find out which schools will be attending the forum you're interested in? If so, how can I access that?

171 3.1 GPA. Why does LSN show I have a very small chance at NYU and the Admissions Predictor shows i have a favorable chance? Which one is correct - ED and URM

Hello, everyone! I hope the LSAT prep is going as intended.

So, here's a question just out of curiosity. Why law? Why do we want to study law, and become lawyers?

Hi Friends,

I have a dilemma that I would appreciate some insight on. I have taken the LSAT once (in June) and gotten a 160, which I wanted to improve significantly this September. I ended up going through a break up this past LSAT weekend and felt terrible throughout the test (I thought I was going to have to leave on multiple occasions because I was so nauseous). In addition, I did not finish three questions on the LG section. Other confounding factors that contributed include that I moved at the end of July to be with my ex in another city, keeping my old job and commuting to work 1.75 hours each direction daily. I was interviewing and was offered another position in order to be in the same city as my ex the week prior to the LSAT and accepted, so my entire life circumstances changed within about a month. I say this because I think all the turmoil on test day and leading up to it really affected my ability to focus and perform my best, both in June and last weekend.

Were you me in this situation, would you cancel and retake in November, or keep the score and retake in November? I know schools will see a cancellation, and I would also like to apply early decision, for which September is the last possible date they accept, so I would be gambling on the September score or using the 160, which I do not want to do... I also do not want three scores to look detrimental. I need to decide within about 24 hours, so any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.

Hi all! Is anyone planning on going to the WCC Law fair held in SF this weekend?

Also, few general law fair questions: Is this a biz casual affair or am I pulling a Jessica from Suits? Should I bring my resume? What type of questions do they expect candidates to ask? If you went to a law fair, was it helpful for you? And most importantly, do they give out fee waivers at the table?

I'm ordering my CAS report and my cumulative GPA is 3.492...a very annoying number. Should I choose the category of 3.5-3.74 or 3.0-3.49? I really want to choose the first one haha but don't know if I really belong there:(

Will choosing either one have any advantage/disadvantage?

Hey guys, is it generally true of the 2 LR sections in the test, one section is harder than the other one? I find that I tend to do better in one LR section than the other one. And when I am doing the test, one LR section I find reasonable. Then I do the other LR section, and I think, wow this one is significantly harder. Wondering if anyone else has similar experience.

Hi all,

Does anyone have any recommendations for 7Sage tutors in the L.A. area? I may be open to tutoring via Skype (or other platforms) but would prefer in-person tutoring. My weakest section is the RC section. I am most comfortable with LG and typically do well on LR but often find myself second guessing and choosing a trap answer choice. Thanks in advance!

My current BR average is around 172. I'm wondering if I need to bring My BR score up to the high 170s in order to start PTing in the high160s to low170s. I figure it's gotta be nearly impossible to actually hit a 170 if your BR is only a couple points higher than that. What's a normal BR score for some of you high scorers?

Hi Guys, so I'm very curious about this factor since I'm not from the States

and really don't know how the LGBT+ members are doing out there.

I've read a dreadful article about a gay law student attempting suicide and am very shocked, worried and so on.

I have little knowledge of how the situation and the societal circumstances are for the LGBT+ students

and their future careers in law.

Is it a disadvantage for applying to law schools and getting a job after graduation?

Does discrimination againts it exist among the classmates and co-workers?

and is it more harsh in certain states or schools?(e.g. religious schools..)

Please give me some light! help me!

Hi all,

I got my PhD in Electrical and computer engineering and currently doing my postdoc in biomedical. I took LSAT Sep 2017 without any preparation and scored 137. I started to study for LSAT for about 5 months. I also took the power score classes in addition to 7 Sage. I studied all the materials and took most of the PTs. I also started to read books in train or bus, to improve my reading skills. In 2018 I scored 153. That was very discouraging to me. I wanted to give up but I still believe there should be a method for us as non- native to pass this exam. What I learned is I am not fast reader which I need to be. I know the principles but I am always short in time and this issue is very bold in RC. I will never get to finish more than 2 passages in RC. I can read science passages better than the others. When it comes to humanities or history,... I am the most dumb person ever :( I cant read and understand at the same time. Mostly, I need to read twice a passage to get the point. In LR, in the best case, I will miss last 3-4 questions. LR is better than RC because the questions are short and I wont loose the track. I can finish the games better than other sections.

If I want to try in one more time (I guess that is the last time I will try) in June 2019, what you will suggest? What else can I read/practice? How long each day should I study for LSAT?

I appreciate ant thought.

How strange is it to go back to a life free from the confines of law passages and grouping games.

This morning when I got up, I made myself a cup of coffee and immediately went to sit down at my desk with a HB2 pencil in hand before eerily realizing I had no material to prep.

What is the meaning of life now?

How does one go from obsessively drilling parallel flaw questions one day to just binge-watching 4 hours of parks and rec the next?

Are drake and kanye really cool again? Has ye really forgotten about those kim remarks?

At the gym today, a fellow broski used the phrase ‘but not otherwise’ in conversation with me. I immediately went into a trance and spent the next 30 seconds trying to figure out which of the 4 available benches he could go on.

The mixture of concern, confusion and disgust on his face perfectly mirrored my outlook towards the now vacant LSAT-shaped hole in my heart.

Is soy really better than corn?

...Will I ever love?

My thoughts go out to my fellow 7Sagers suffering from post-LSAT blues.

I made a schedule for post CC and am planning on doing 2 PTs per week. What do you guys think would be the best?

I am an ultimate+ user, but I cannot figure out how to print out PT 1-35. I want to practice writing on RC and LG. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Hi! I am back and forth between purchasing a package with 7 sage, just wondering what some opinions are on here? I love the youtube logic game videos, but I just wanted some feedback. Any thing will help!!! Thanks!
