Hi 7Sagers,

I just published a new blog post about whether you should study for the GRE. Spoiler alert: probably not!

Check it out: https://classic.7sage.com/should-you-take-the-gre-instead-of-the-lsat/

Hi

I am looking for tutor who could provide some guidance on contract or international law.

Please message me if you have done these courses.

Thank you.

I already have two academic letters but I am trying to decide who I should ask for a third letter. Since I have been out of school for a couple years, should I ask from a law-related internship supervisor or from a non law-related work colleague? In comparison to the semester long internship that took place three years ago, I have worked with this colleague on two major projects over the past two years. I call him a colleague because he has never been my direct supervisor but still a senior staff. My dilemma is that I did a lot of policy writing and advocacy work, which I think matter more to law schools than the quantatitive and managerial work I did for my job. However, my job is obviously a lot more recent than the internship. Would it look bad on me if I have been working for the same job for the past 2.5 years but don’t get a recommendation from work? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi,

I took my first lsat in September and did not reach my goal score. I am writing my second lsat on November 17, and would like to increase my score by approx. 10 points. Since I am retaking the lsat, I have already done self-studying by reading books and doing drills, so I am familiar with most of the basic concepts/strategies. My score seems to be stuck at this point, so I don’t think self-studying by just reading and doing practice questions/tests will help me reach my target score. This is why I am interested in purchasing a 7sage course, maybe the starter passage, to assist me with studying for retaking the lsat. My question is, if I purchase a course with 7sage, what would an effective 1 month study schedule look like? Considering that I have already done the basics while i self-studied for my first LSAT (familiarizing myself with basic strategies, doing drills, few practice tests).

Hello

I wanted to know if anyone has been granted accommodation (extra time) by just going to the doctor your physician refer you too. Meaning that would be the only proof the person has. I do suffer from anxiety (plus other things) every time I take a test no matter how much I try to calm myself and not think about it. I noticed lsac has a list of the things that would help for the approval of accommodation. But I never requested extra time on my exams in grade school or college. I took the ACT and SAT such a long time ago but I went to a community college so never really cared about my score.Can Someone guide me?

UPenn is doing an open house at a law firm in NYC today and I was wondering if office attire is recommended, for the reason the location is a law firm. I know the answer is probably going to lean towards yes. What do you guys think?

I am using a logic game practice book from kaplan that was given to me by someone else and i noticed that during one of my drills that i got an answer wrong on a question where it makes you "remake the game rules" ex. m-s is now s-m and i got the answer wrong. When looking at the answer explaination it makes a suggestion to skip this question bc it can be more time consuming and the time could be used somewhere else. What you do believe about this statement?

My follow up question would be, i believe i read that you should answer every question and not leave any blank bc only correct answers count for your score. I was taking a practice test and ran out of time on the section so i did not finish the section. I was wondering if i know for some reason i am 5 minutes from the section ending if it would be more beneficial to have the questions answered than not?

Lots of useful links within!!

I remember a few people missed the Sept test so if you want to take November you can register for it until midnight tonight. I believe LSAC doesn't give extensions. Good luck.

I found an aba accredited jd

degree. I am looking to going into public interest law so I should be fine right?

I am super perplexed on where to go from here, my goal admission is for the 2019 Fall Cycle. After a year of studying and Pt'ing in the Low 160's, I finally bulked up the courage to take the September LSAT after a debacle of a December 2017 score and fell 8 points shorter of my avg. at a 152 and hold a 3.6 GPA. I went -8 on RC (normally -1/-2, the first passage did me over), -8/-13 on LR, and -11 on LG (struggled to concentrate here as the guy next to me was being removed from the LSAT Testing Center). I foolproofed LG 1-20 and PT'ed 56-75 using other sections from 1-20 as my fifth. I went through Kaplan worst decision ever and then moved over to 7Sage for the past 9 months. I am a full time elementary school teacher and know I can get into most of my desired schools with a potential 75-80% scholarship if I hit a 161 and some full rides. I just truly don't know what would be a good starting point to pick back up and if even bumping up a score by 8 points by November is even possible. I am really stuck and don't know if to roll with the punches and see how ED apps go or to retake and post-pone applications for a few months. I am petrified that my score would fluctuate again putting me in worse shoes than I already am. HELP :D

I know that applying in Feb as opposed to November decreases one's chances of getting accepted, but does this affect the amount of scholarship money one might get? For example, lets say someone that was accepted is offered 60k, could that person have been offered more if they applied sooner? Is there like a certain amount of funds schools can give out that is given out on a rolling basis? Thanks :)

Hey friends. I firmly agree with the 7Sage logic that completing PTs under test like conditions lessens anxiety because the process becomes familiar over time. The thought of taking 30+ PTs on paper only to write the formal exam using an unfamiliar digital system makes my palms start to sweat. Since the LSAT will be administered only in digital form from Sep 2019 onwards, will we have a chance to complete practice tests using the interface or an app that mimicks it?

I know this has probably been covered many times in the past, so I apologize for any repetition. I've been focused on fool-proofing logic games from tests 1-35, for a little while now. Logic games is my weakest section (averaging -11, compared with a -2 in LR and a -4 in RC), so I decided to double down on logic games for a little while. I've been improving, with a range of -1 to -11, but mostly in the -5 to -7 range. I'm wondering how much I should be beating myself up for struggling with the incredibly "weird" games, such as game 4 from PT 11 (I shouted some expletives out loud after reading the rules). As long as I'm doing well on the "standard" games, should I not worry too much? My understanding is that save for a few occasional exceptions, most of the modern logic games are pretty "standard".

If I can trouble people with another brief question, how many logic games sections did you have to fool-proof before things really "clicked" for you?

Thank you all in advance for the help!

Hi

I wanted to know if any of you have tried or currently studying using 7sage plus another source such as Khan, tutors, books etc....

Has anybody tried Khan Academy prep?

Thank you!

Hi,

So when i drill 1-2 sections at a time on older practice tests from 40-51, i average 0-3 wrong per section but on full PT i get -5 to -7 wrong per section? Has this ever happened to anyone? I feel like giving up sometimes.

Hello,

I started the core curriculum in August (the busiest time of year for my job), and I've had to play a lot of catch up or reset my study schedule from taking a week off a couple of times here and there. I was on a good pace and understanding the curriculum pretty well up until we got to validity through finishing the core curriculum for arguments. I'm not sure where I messed up to begin with. I read around advice from others about leaving problem sets available throughout the curriculum, especially if I was understanding it so I had something to come back to after I began doing PTs that indicated maybe I needed more work in that area.

Things I know I haven't done but need to do (memorize = I know they need to become intuitive):

I just stopped on the Quiz on Drawing Valid Conclusions that closes up on validity and everything that I just did related to valid and invalid argument forms. Mostly because I am just lost.

With the announcement of the transition to the computer LSAT for the July 2019 test and officially by September 2019. I am feeling the pressure of a June 2019 test. Otherwise, I've wasted my money on 7sage, and my time on studying in a way that will only be helpful to me if I have a paper test (especially after reviewing the thread on this matter).

I want to just get through the CC so I can come back to what I need to work on, but now I feel like I'm just getting more lost but starting over now seems like I'll never be ready by June 2019. I guess I just don't know how to approach my studying anymore with where I am at, and what is to come with the paper LSAT. Any advice, uplifting comments, etc. would be appreciated.

Gi, guys! I have been consistently scoring in the low 150s on PTs. My biggest weaknesses are strengthening and weakening Qs, as well as RC. Sometimes I just miss questions that I could have easily gotten right, guessing this is either because of my anxiety, rushing, or a combo of both. I want to get my score up to upper 150s-160. If you guys could throw me suggestions on how to improve, I would love that!

Hey friends. I'm done my degree in April 2019 and plan on studying about 40h a week from mid May 2019 until the October 2019 LSAT. Do you think this is enough time to adequately prepare or should I take longer? I'm just not sure whether its better to take more time for the LSAT and submit my applications later (say Jan/Feb) or to have the exam and applications sent in by Nov/Dec... Thoughts?

I am signed up for CAS and I keep requesting that my undergraduate grades get sent through the service that my university uses and they never show up?? I have spent 10 bucks 3 times now and no grades. University says check with service, service says they sent them to CAS and CAS says they don't receive them. Yikes. Any ideas would be most welcome.

I’m having some trouble getting over the timing aspect of the LSAT. If I take an untimed practice section, I feel so much less pressure AND still finish within the 35 minutes. But the second I start timing myself, I start feeling really anxious and overthink the questions. Even though I know I’m capable of finishing within the allotted time, I still feel a lot of pressure when I time myself. Does anyone have any helpful tips to move past this?

If I’m too lazy to study for more than a couple hours a day, does that suggest I’m not cut out for the rigors of law school and lawyering?

Hey guys,

I am planning to apply this November for all the law schools in Ontario. I did really badly on my first degree (2.5) However, I did decide to go back to school for a second degree and will be finishing with a 3.8. I rounded it up and my GPA increased to a 3.4. I don't know how the admissions committee will look at my profile ? Will they count my cumulative ? Should I apply outside of Ontario as well ? Just to be safe ? Has anyone gotten in with two degrees ? Where they had a major shift in marks

Let me know :)

So I submitted my application last week. I heard it takes about two weeks, but I'm getting so impatient. Does anyone want to share a story about how getting accommodations really helped them and their score? I'd love to hear anything positive to pass the time.
