Hey everyone! Quick question, how do I pin an entire game? When I review, I have the option to pin individual questions for the game and even star the explanation but I can't seem to figure out how to pin the entire game. I want the entire game to be pinned for when I make problem sets to drill. Thank you in advance! :smile:

I just completed all of the core curriculum and started taking timed practice tests. Throughout the core curriculum I rarely got individual questions/problem sets wrong, but as soon as I try to take a practice test, I panic and everything seems a lot more difficult. Is this something that others have experienced and that just gets better with taking more full practice tests or is it indicative that I have some sort of gap in my base knowledge (aka should I focus on core curriculum material or hope that I get better with just taking more practice tests and increasing my endurance)?

There is an option to "waitlist", but should I? I don't see a problem with taking the test in November instead (I get 4 extra weeks of studying :). But I am worried about applying in December versus November, will applying in Dec versus Nov make or break my app?

Thanks!

Anyone else on "wait list" for October LSAT in NYC/NJ metro region? Hopefully they'll add some test centers. The fact that we're about 3 months till the October test, and there's not a single open test center in the NJ/NYC metropolitan region (the most populated area in the United States) is quite ridiculous.

I usually take 1 preptest and BR everyday with an occasional 1 or 2 day break, and was wondering what other 7Sagers preptesting and BR scheduling is like. Sometimes I feel like i'm doing too much, but it might just be relative.

Anyone else have no life and is about to lose all friends because of LSAT?

I am curious how others balance studying and personal life?

Hello!

During BR, videos over RC passages keep stuttering/lagging. I thought that this was because of the length of the videos, but it seems to do it even during the shorter RC review videos. Ive tried different browsers to no avail. Additionally, LR and LG videos run just fine, every time.

Is anyone else encountering this?

Hello,

I'm wanting to retake some of my PTs a few months after I took them originally to make sure my BRing stuck.

Is there a way to take a digital PT for the second time without losing the info from the first take? Is there a way to omit the score of the second take from my overall 7sage analytics? I know it will be inflated so I do not want it to be counted officially in 7sage analytics.

Many thanks!

Hi peeps, I've been having big fluctuations in my PT performance. I'm a night owl, and have been forcing myself to get up early (and go to bed earlier) to start doing tests from 9:30am. I've also done tests in the afternoon, when I'm less stressed and more awake, the highest and lowest difference would be 165-153. I feel that even though I can get up even earlier in the morning and prepare for the test, the general stress I feel in the morning is just much worse. (I guess morning isn't really for me.) How can I manage/control my mornings better as a night owl?

Does successfully filing for patents give any boost on your application if you are interested in IP/patent law?

Does anybody know when all of the video explanations should be up for preptest 87 (June 2019)? Only the logic game videos are up. I would like to take this test before September.

What do you do when you see a word you don't know the meaning of?

(whether in answer choices or in stimulus)

If it's in an AC, I figure I should skip it and come back (unless I can eliminate the answer regardless of the meaning of the word)

I am currently living in Utah, but would like to take a test in California for timing purposes. I have a Utah drivers License. Does anyone know if you can take an LSAT out of state?

I have been studying for about 2 months and I am currently averaging around 164-165 on prep tests but my blind review scores are 174-175. I am consistently going -0/-2 on LR and -4/-5 on RC but LG can be anywhere from -4/-11. But in blind review I go -1/-2 in every section. I have only taken like 4 prep tests and my scores have been 158, 161, 163, 165. How should I go about closing the gap as quickly as possible specifically in regard to LG aside from just rewatching the core curriculum videos?

Do you guys know when 7sage having the $5.99 deal to purchase the prep-tests ?

if I pin a question while doing a LR problem set, where can find it to revisit it again?

Was gonna register for October LSAT but found out that no test centers available in NYC now and have to submit a waitlist...Is LSAC gonna add more test centers? Is anyone having the same issue as me? Should I submit waitlist now or should I come back on a later date?

Hi! I'm studying for the LSAT (obviously). I've been studying since early June. I don't feel like I am making any progress. I'm super slow, but accurate in LG, RC, and LR. I've completed the LG Bible, the Kaplan LG book and practiced religiously for 2 months. I'm still hovering in the 155 range. I've only improved by 4 points since my first diagnostic.

I know I'm bright. I have two advanced degrees and didn't get there without skills. I'm positive that I can do this. I am just freaking out because this test makes me feel incompetent, which just fuels more bad performance on the PT.

I feel like I'm on the verge of a breakthrough. I'm still just way too slow on LG on the PT.

Would the prep course get me where I need to go. I thought 5 months would be more than enough time but with all the studying I've done, I feel like I'd need a lifetime to get the kind of score I'm shooting for.

Please, help. I don't even know what to do.

I took the january LSAT and didn't do as well as I was hoping. I took the July test, but was just planning to cancel and use the free test voucher. I missed the September deadline, and there are currently no available spots in LA for October. I registered for the waitlist regardless. There is only one location that would be viable for November (anything else would be a 2+ hour uber drive, and I don't want to take my chances with LA traffic the morning of an LSAT).

Should I register for that spot in November now? Should I wait and hope that it is still available after I cancel the July score?

Should I be worried that if I register for November now, the total number of times I'd take the test could be 5?

Hi there,

I’ve been out of school for about 5 years now and have been working since then. I took the July LSAT and am working through my application. Unfortunately I’m no longer in communication with any of my professors, and I’ll have to request my recommendations from my current employer and a past client. I’m wondering if there’s anyone here who’s been in a similar situation. I was promised a promotion in January, but don’t want the likelihood of that decreasing when they do find out my long term plan is to leave and go to law school (fingers crossed I do get in). Thoughts? Your advice is so appreciated!

I think it was briefly mentioned in the UVA webinar (please correct me if I’m wrong too) that if you’ve been out of school for 1-3 years, it’s strongly recommended (in a sense, it seemed that it was implied that it was almost mandatory) that you get at least one letter from an employer.

This, however, seems to contradict some information from law schools websites/blogs. For example, Yale Law School’s Asha’s blog says “there are a few basic rules you can follow to increase your chances significantly. One of those rules is to submit two references from faculty members who have taught you in a class. Let me put that another way: Your chances of admission to Yale Law School go down drastically if you submit only one or no academic letters of recommendation...NOTE: If you DID submit two academic letters, you do NOT need to submit additional ones at this point. I'm sure some economist could graph this out for me, but there is an optimal number of LORs for Yale and it's somewhere around 2.4...Generally speaking, LORs from faculty will carry greater weight than LORs from employers. This is because the people reviewing your application tend to be more interested in what you were like as a student and what your potential to succeed academically at Yale would be, rather than in whether you are a good "team player" or can "work quickly and efficiently."

https://law.yale.edu/admissions/jd-admissions/ask-asha/bad-idea-jeans-biggest-mistake-you-can-make-your-yale-law-school-application

It’s also important to note that the average age at YLS is 25, with about 85% of admitted students at least 1 year out of college.

I agree letters from employers can be helpful, but it seems that for those out of college for 2-3 years, submitting 2 academic letters from professors is fine, and there’s no “penalty” if you don’t submit an employee letter. After all, you could be spending those 2-3 years working in a retail job or even as lawnmower as you study for the LSAT, from which it’ll be difficult for your employer to speak about your potential success in law school in terms your ability to think critically, understand complex arguments, write persuasively, etc.

Thus, for applicants a few years out of college, having 2 letters from professors seems fine, and not having an employer letter doesn’t seem like it’ll hurt you. After all, for that person who spent the last 3 years working as a restaurant waiter or that individual who started their own small chocolate business may not have an employee LOR, but I don’t think that’ll hurt them as long as they have at least 2 letters from their previous professors.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted some advice with LR pacing. Currently in a 35 minute time section, I can attempt about 21-23 questions. My score is usually between 14-19 correct, with my BR between 21-25. My goal is I want to be able to get through all the questions (maybe even have some extra time to review questions as I do for LG/RC) and score about 20 correct.

To do so, recently I have been focusing on polishing my ability of reading/breaking down/controlling the stimulus. However, two thinks I do want to improve on but not sure how to do so is:

Any advice and thoughts would be super appreciated….

Thanks

I’d like to change my LSAC profile address to my mailing address (it’s currently my parents’ which I use as my permanent address). However, my driver’s licence says my parent’s. Will this be an issue when I present photo ID on LSAT day? Thank you!

#help I'm trying to take a digital test on my iPad and it is not working. I have tried going through the app and safari/chrome. I click on "print and take test" then "next" then "take preptest # (digital tester beta)" and nothing happens, no loading screen or anything. It's working on my laptop, but not on my iPad. I'm currently running software 9.3.5.
