First school I'm seeing that accepts the GMAT, anyone else know of one?

After all is said and done though, it still seems to me that the LSAT is the better option. Law schools are familiar with it and they know how grueling it is to prepare for.

I recently found out about the URM status and I was curious whether or not I qualify. I come from a mixed background (S/O to the mixed kids out there) where my father is Chinese Jamaican and my mother is from Thailand.

Thanks in advance!

I may be naive, but I'm really looking forward to doing some hard core, full-time studying during the 3 months I'm off for maternity leave. I work full time and am only able to study a few hours a night and half a day on weekends. I often wish I could just quit my job and study full time.

Any parents out there had the opportunity to study while on leave with a brand new baby? I keep hearing from some friends that they were 'bored' during their time off so I figured it'd be a great time to study all day but I also hear new babies typically take over your entire life :-P

With this recent app update it got trickier to put in the answer choices. So many extra steps. Instead of having it in a form of mobile app now its just a website in mobile version. WHY DID YOU CHANGE IT 7SAGE?

Hi everyone! I just would like some feedback on your experience in working through the CC. So I am about 50% of the way through the CC right now and it is definitely not moving as fast as I would have liked but I'm holding on to the idea of "slow and steady wins the race." With that being said, as I cover new topics, some of the earlier concepts that may not be directly relevant to the section I'm on (ie invalid/valid argument forms/ lawgic-specific rules, etc), are not as easy to remember quickly. Then I start to freak out and wonder since I am not recalling things as quickly, I need to step back. Also, to note I'm not just moving swiftly without having a good understanding of what I just learned, it's more so that sometimes it will take a whole week to get through one section (ie Flaw question type with corresponding 20+ problem sets) , and will have me feeling like what I covered earlier in the CC is becoming foggy. I guess what I want to know, is this a common feeling? Did you guys implement any strategies to keep the older CC top of mind? Did you begin your studying with a basic review, or something? Also, how long did it take you to complete the CC, and how did your first PT post CC go?

I have a cumulative GPA of 3.4 in a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell University ('17). I double majored and double minored (if that counts for anything) in humanities related fields. I don't have an explanation for the GPA other than the struggles of navigating university as a first-gen student. I will not be writing an addendum on this.

I need to be realistic about my law school prospects but would love to consider Michigan or Northwestern (Columbia/NYU if it's not too hopeless). I know that with a near-perfect LSAT score, I can achieve this but I need someone to be straight with me. Do I need to lower my standards/expectations? Is T14 out of the question? If T14 is a possibility, what LSAT should I strive for to compensate for my GPA?

Thanks in advance for the advice and honesty!

Hey everyone,

I've recently begun recording myself as I complete sections and Full PTs. It's been immensely insightful, especially for evaluating my ability to stick to various strategies.

That being said, I'd be interested in putting them out to some persons in the 7Sage community to receive feedback, but I'm not sure if this is permitted under the LSAC licensing that 7Sage has. Anybody have experience in the this area?

Does anyone have negative experiences with accommodations? Are there any downsides?

So here I am working on timed LR PSs and fool-proofing LG when an old friend of mine reminded me we graduated high school 10 years ago today! College was 6 years ago. My my my how time has flown. I remember not knowing what the future held but I had so many plans. I never would have thought 10 years later I would studying so hard to go back to school. I sometimes get discouraged thinking I will be 29 when I start law school, 30 if I have to push it back another year. But hey better late than never. Any other 7sagers out there in the same boat as me?

With a week left until the June exam, I’m wondering what consensus exists here in the wisdom of tapering off the study schedule? Like a marathoner, I believe that while it’s certainly unwise to abandon studying altogether this last week, there may be some benefit to tapering off slightly.

There used to be an option to grade your test right when you open up the app. Anyone’s know where that went? Also can I find that option on the website?

Hello, I am 48. A career changer and considering using this forum to study....I am trying to review the logic games for free before I commit to a purchase. I can't seem to find any answer to this question: Does this review course require the purchase of a book to go along with the videos? Or, is the information such as a text, included? Any information would be greatly appreciated

How do you differentiate between the context and the premise? Do you always have to have a premise indicator in order to have a premise?

I am viewing the lecture videos on both Chrome and Firefox and don't seem to have the variable playback speed? Any possible fixes to this?

Hi 7Sage!

I've seen quite a few posts on here and Reddit advising that the week or two before the exam is spent getting in a nice, relaxing routine so that you're rested and at your best on test day.

Which is great, if you are taking the test somewhere that allows you to get in a relaxing routine.

I am taking the test in a country I've never been to (it's the closest testing center to where I currently live!). The two weeks before the exam will be spent doing some really intense travel that I absolutely couldn't get out of (Indonesia -> Malaysia -> Vietnam -> Singapore, none on very long flights though, as I'm already in the region!). I'm in Singapore, where I'm taking the exam, for two days before the test itself, but that's not exactly a great deal of time to get in a routine.

Given that I'm going to be hopping around from one place to another, with waking hours and diet varying pretty substantially, does anyone have tips on how I should approach test day?

It's going to be hard to do full timed PTs on this schedule. I can do timed sections, hopefully.

Currently scoring 170-174, and aiming for a 173+ on the exam, so mostly looking towards perfecting LG and maintaining other sections as I skate into these next 20 days.

What do I do?

I have taken three prep tests and have the following results:

#1 152 - BR 162

#2 157 - BR 164

#3 157 - BR 169

Clearly the results are encouraging and I am improving. But is there a takeaway to be made if my BR is getting better but my score results didnt between test 2 and 3? I think it means that under pressured time constraints, I seem to perform lower than my potential. Is there anything else that can be deduced? If not, what should I focus on to get better on the initial test. Or does this get solved with more PT and more time? Thanks!

So my cold-diagnostic was a 151. Just finished the CC and took my first timed PT after completing it and I scored a 156. I know I messed up in RC by running out of time on the last passage, and one LG game threw me off which I can work on. I also am a bit rusty on LR since I haven't drilled LR for about 3 weeks while I finished LG and RC core curriculum stuff, so I missed a -9 on each LR section.

I got about 7 weeks to go before the July LSAT, if I just drill LR and LG while sprinkling in some RC, do y'all think I could realistically crack 160 by July/September? I plan on drilling LR 3 times a week and LG twice a week (which I can switch up depending on how well I'm doing in either).

Already have Legally Blonde down :)

and can you bring it to the LSAT?

I am trying to assess my readiness for the July exam, and want to know the range I should be scoring in if I want to get a 170 on the actual LSAT. I've heard people say +3 points from the score you are aiming for, but others say at least +5.

So when the proctor says "Put your pencils down", can I pick up my watch and reset the time on it? Or do I have to wait until the next section begins before doing anything with my watch?

Hey guys,

I'm taking the June test in 3 weeks, but I am still struggling with LG. :(

I've already foolproofed 1-35, and did 36-60 twice. But when I took timed tests this week, I'm still missing 5-6 questions. Granted, I've improved a lot from just couple months ago, when I missed like 8-9 questions. But I do want to prep my LG as much as I can for the upcoming June test.

Do you have any suggestions for last minute drilling in my case? I'm planning to take 2 PT's a week also.

Thank you and happy studying for June takers :)

Hello my fellow 7sagers.

I need opinions/advice. so I have been completing the 7sage cirrculum as per usual - currently STILL in the must be true Logical resoning section. I want to the write the september or Nov. lsat and im feeling like I should have started logic games section by now.

DO you reccomend I continue following the cirriculum order - and slowly go through LR as I currently am, and start logic games when I get there? orrrrr what if I started that section of cirriculum too and alternated between LR and LG studying 2 hours LR and 2 hours LG. or LR one day and LG one day? or is that too much brain fuckery? I thought it would help prevent burnout from one section (LR)....and also get me ready for LG. i study 4 hours max daily.. :(

I just feel like im going through the cirriculum slower than most and panicking I wont have enough time to improve on LG. since it is already June & I totally suck at them. BLAH. I'm also struggling with Must be True section of LR - feeling quite discouraged to even move forward. :(

any suggestions with regards to studying both sections or staying on one .. i feel like im moving at the pace of a turtle...

or any advice for the discouragement I feel :( with MBT Q's & continuing the cirriculum regardless..

thank you all

you're the best :)

Hi 7sage community,

I've been studying for the LSAT for almost a year now. Here's my history:

I took a 2.5 month course with Testmasters summer 2017 and studied for the December LSAT, scored a 161

I started studying again in January for the February LSAT and scored a 163.

(now) I started studying again in April for this upcoming June LSAT.

My target is 168 minimum, best case is low 170s. So:

Thanks so much for your help! Minor stressing recently..

I would like to practice family law in the NJ/PA area....is t14 worth it for this type of practice if i dont get a substantial scholarship?
