I have a friend who moved to the US recently for a job. She’s experiencing some really awful problems w her employer and she’d like to speak w an attorney to explore her options.

My question is, what’s the most efficient way to find the proper attorney? Are there any reliable online reviewing sites out there that you’ve used and recommend? I’m aware of several but not sure whether to trust them or not. Would anyone in the courthouse be able to suggest a handful of firms?

Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey All,

I went to register for the November 2018 LSAT at a recommended location where I live and as it stands is is unavailable!

So, is it possible that a seat will become available again in the near future and I could register? Do people often drop? What are my chances of grabbing a seat at my preferred location? What can be done?

Please advise!

Hello,

Is there a list of 7sage tutors that are still active?

Making this post to thank everyone who has messaged me or replied to my posts the last 4 months! I was really set on taking the test in September but after experiencing burn out and realizing that I'm still not where I want to be, I've decided to take a few days off to collect myself before jumping back in to conquer the November exam. I had my reasons to avoid delaying but I've hit a point where I'm taking things in stride and trusting the process. After all, I'm not starting from nothing - rather just picking at my weaknesses and working on maximizing my strong sections.

Wanted to make this post for everyone who is currently contemplating the decision or is in the same boat as me. We got this and everything happens for a reason! Take it as a chance to restructure your study schedule and make changes accordingly - something I forgot about along the way is that the LSAT is always going to be there. It's better to take it when you're ready as opposed to forcing yourself to sit through the exam and get wrecked because you're not ready. Then you'll have to face the psychological effects of being sad or upset at your score when clearly it wasn't time to take it and enter a cycle of self-doubt and contemplating your law school dream. Don't let your pride get in the way of what's best for you!!!

I am taking the LSAT this January. I have studied for about two months using other textbooks and have around 30 previous exams. I am interested in taking the LSAT Ultimate course, but the amount of hours that are designated for each week are far too unrealistic given that I am a full-time university student with essays and exams between now and January. Although I will find time to study, it will not be to the same 40 hours a week that some weeks note in the study schedule. Would it still make sense for me to enrol?

Nov Lsat

I want to get the ultimate plus but i will start with the base package. How does the upgrade process work? How many months will i get?

So, I have some time from when I am interested in taking the LSAT and when I'd like to start studying, which is roughly 08/27/18 - 01/21/18. However, I do wish to purchase the Ultimate+ packet as I would like to give myself all the resources as possible, my only concern is that in the schedule builder it suggests 36-48 hours a week. This is more difficult to plan around especially when taking classes. What is the general suggestion when doing this course load in terms of time and content. I have taken the LSAT twice now and frankly am not here to waste my time, but I also do not want to be overworked to a point where I get too burnt out too early. Any help is greatly appreciated and I look forward to hearing back from y’all. Thanks!

You know in Toy Story 3 when Mr Potato Head puts his face bits on a tortilla and escapes? Really bothers me. Where is Mr Potato Head's consciousness located? Is he an assortment of bits? A swarm? Is he incorporeal? And the face bits are just the ritual objects which summon him into a host shell? What if we pressed his face bits into a person? Does he possess them?

Every one of his parts is connected to a mass consciousness, all the parts share consciousness. this does mean that in order for the rest of the body to perceive what to do, it needs to be connected to the sensing parts-eyes, ears, etc

It’s clear that Potato Head doesn’t experience constant sensation from all his parts, because he’s capable of losing them and not using them at the same time, but it isn’t required that the parts be necessarily in the housing (which is superfluous) or that they be attached to a single continuous Potato body, as is demonstrated several times when parts continue to function while detached.

One might posit that Potato Head is a spirit force capable of manifesting himself within specially made parts - which are unique to each produced Head - but only if he is aware of their approximate position in space. How he moves the parts themselves or the object the parts are embedded in is another question entirely - is he capable of infinite locomotion? Perhaps the feet are capable of manipulating the object they’re placed into: do they have a limited strength?

How does the Potato Head decide on the nature of a single object to be embedded into? Could he be used as an ontological standard, to describe discrete objects by their Potatability? Could a Potato Head embedded in the ground, given a firm place to stand, move the Earth?

What's up everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself. I am just starting to realize how amazing this community is and it is time for me to be proactive. I honestly was inspired by @LSATcantwin as I have a story that is similar to his. My dream is also to go to a t14 law school. I just graduated from UC Berkeley and though I performed well (3.86 GPA, Magna Cum Laude). I did not do well in my prior attempt at going to college which was about 15 years ago. I am a return student who is 34 years old. I believe my GPA is around 3.05 accumulative. To paint a better picture, my first attempt at school I had a 2.16 GPA mainly because of supporting my family and not taking school seriously. In my return to school, I have taken 116 units and received a 3.9 GPA in those classes (community college and a 3.86 GPA at Berkeley). I have worked really hard and I am scared that my past will not enable me in getting accepted to T14 law school. I am currently studying for the LSAT but its been really tough. I plan to take in November, which I know is late. Experience wise, I have been a psychiatric nurse in the medical field for five years and a psychiatric technician apprentice for two years.

I am in the mindset of t14 or bust. Do you all think I have a shot if I get a decently high LSAT 168+? Thank you in advance for reading and any help one may bestow upon me.

I am literally not going to let anything get in the way of my dreams! We all have our own past demons to fight and I know with hard work and perseverance we all will get to where we want to be. :)

Best,

Daniel

Hello everyone,

I took three classes for my Psychiatric Technician program (Psych Nursing) and each of them were 15 units each. My grades were C, C,and B (ouch). Any chance the LSAC won't count these? They were done at my community college but they did not count at all for my bachelors degree.

Are the tutors still available for tutoring or is there another list?

If so, the right/most effective method to reach them is PM?

Hi, I wanted to inquire if anyone decided to use 7sage after taking Testmasters or another prep course? I wanted to know if this was confusing for those who already learned different methods or helped them improve immensely. My original PT was 135 and now I'm at 153. I know I'm capable of scoring higher, I'm just lost as to what to do now post-testmasters. I would appreciate anyone who can give insight! Thank you so much!!!

Hey everyone. How different are the Prep Tests in the early 70's from the current LSAT? Thanks!

Hello all,

So, I've been talking to people about which law schools I'm thinking of applying to this fall. I mentioned Hofstra and New York law school because I live in NY. People were saying my chances of becoming an attorney and practicing law are very slim if I attend the tier 4 schools. I don't want to go into Big law and my ideal career goal is to be an assistant district attorney at a local DA's office. I'm thinking of these schools because with my stats, I feel that the scholarship would be pretty generous. Was anyone told the same thing? Does anyone know people who went to tier 4 law schools and had difficulty finding ADA or any small law firm positions? Thank you!

Hello 7Sage,

I began my LSAT journey in November of 2017. I had just been raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason at my Masonic Lodge, joined the Scottish Rite, and been initiated into Shriner's International. To say these goals were a lifelong dream are an understatement. Riding the high of accomplishing goals that required so much time and effort, I began to ask myself what else I could do now that I had conquered the unconquerable.

Naturally with my Political Science degree in hand and a fire lit from the current state of American Politics, I decided that I wanted to go to law school to be the change I wished to see and make a difference.

I messaged a buddy of mine who is now a 2L at Duke law about what site he used to study and he recommended 7sage (thank goodness). As many others that began their LSAT quest in the midst of the holiday season I found it difficult to stay on task while balancing life and this new found part time job of studying for the beast. Nevertheless, I staggered to the finish line of the CC in April praying that I had learned something from those sleepless nights of watching JY's videos and grinding sets out at work.

In my diagnostic, it was so bad that I questioned if I had even spelled my name correctly. Thus, when my first PT out of the CC was a 151 I was relieved that I was not brain dead and comprehended the basic structure of questions, but also dismayed that I had SO much more work to do. Since then, I have completed 9 other practice tests. Here are my stats:

Average PT score: 150

BR: Consistent 160-166

LR on PT: -12

LG on PT: -10

RC on PT: -10

I have found that my main issues have been medium/ hard LR questions, running out of time in LG, and over analyzing in RC.

My current study schedule is as follows: Saturday or Sunday take a PT, Monday- Friday BR, repeat. I BR a section a day as I am working full time and helping to plan my upcoming wedding.

My goal is T14, thus with my 3.5 GPA from a #231-#300 Ranked University (US News) I know I am going to need a great LSAT score....and a 150 is NOT cutting it.

I have tried to step back and refocus my studying, but nothing has seemed to work. I am turning to the 7sage community now for some #help. If you see anything missing, wrong, or even plain stupid about what I am doing please let me know.

Thank you in advance!

Best,

Jonah

Okay, I took the Powerscore course which seemed to work pretty well. I end up scoring a 155 on the June LSAT. I was unsatisfied with my score so I asked somebody who took the same class what they did to get in the 170s. He suggested the Powerscore was a good course but that they left out a lot of information the 7 Sage covers. I took some time and have been working games using JY's method. This month, I enrolled in the 7 sage course and I've been working diligently getting through lessons. I took the optional diagnostic test and I scored a 145. I almost died seeing that score so low. I have definitely been internalizing everything I have been learning after seeing that diagnostic. Changing the way I think to conform to how the LSAT expects you to think. My first question is should I be worried that I scored that low? My second question is should I be taking prep test and blind reviewing during the 7 Sage course.

So I started studying for the LSAT in undergrad. I did so by practically living at my university’s library. After deciding to take some time off and retake the LSAT, it’s about time to start studying again. Since graduating in May, I moved to a big city and into a tiny studio apartment. The libraries close around 6 every night and I work from 9-5:30. Studying in my apartment just isn’t cutting it for me. I get very distracted. There’s a Starbucks a few miles down the road, but I don’t want to spend that much money on coffee. Help!! I need a good study spot! And maybe a study buddy!

So I’ve been making some bubbling mistakes where I’ll accidentallt bubble in the answers for one section into the wrong bubbling section on the answer sheet. I was thinking of just folding the answer sheet so that I can only view one bubbling section at a time. I don’t see that folding of the answer sheet is prohibited anywhere but does anyone know if that would be ok to do? Or would that perhaps depend on the proctor you get and whether they’re comfortable with letting you do that?

Does anyone have printable pdf version of all games from 1-35 or more for foolproofing?

A bit tedious to extract just those pages to print.

Thank you

Hi everyone, in my haste to beat the clock during my diagnostic test, I failed to circle a lot of questions that I was unsure of so I could BR later. Would you recommend I BR the entire test?

Hi everyone!

I took the September 2017 LSAT prepping with the Powerscore texts... I wish I had come across this site prior to purchasing those texts based on all the great reviews and after making use of the free content; the methods used and the explanations of the logic games seem like they may have more of an impact than just self-study with the Powerscore texts. I only prepped for 3 months with those texts and got a 144. I realize that 3 months of study was nowhere near enough time for me, so i'm just trying to come up with a new game plan.

My question is, if I were to purchase the starter course, what are your thoughts on if it would be enough content to solidify the strategies on tackling the sections? I have a lot of PrepTests already, as I purchased those separately on the recommendation of the powerscore self-study site. Money is kind of tight, as I am studying in Brazil and earning BRL which is worth less than half the USD, hence why I am looking at the starter course.

Also for anyone who has used powerscore or other study materials before coming across 7sage, what are your thoughts on content overlap?

Thanks guys, good luck in your studies. :)

Hi,

I was wondering if you could buy more explanations to test. I have the practice tests already but wanted to buy the explanations if that is possible.

Thanks!

Hello all! How difficult do you all think it would be to increase an LSAT score from 162 (official score) to 166 or higher by the November test date? I know it’s only 4 points, but I really need it and am considering quitting my job to study full-time so that I can get it.

I just noticed that the problem sets in the CC have images instead of videos for the individual questions. I really liked the video format to help with my timing for completing the questions. Plus, the new images are much larger and don't fit within the computer screen. Is this a permanent change?
