I'm debating whether I should run a marathon during my first semester of law school.

Is it feasible? Would it interfere with my grades? For those of you who have done it, how did you manage?

So I just got into my top choice for law school! I quit my job in December and have been relaxing/fooling around since. But I'm starting to get bored and feel unprepared for law school. I have all this time (Feb-August) before everything starts up again this fall and would sincerely appreciate any advice on how I could be utilizing my time wisely!

Thank you in advance!

I had the app on Android but as of today I stopped using it due to constant glitching which actually threw me off and my performance while practicing. While using the proctor during timed practice, it constantly jumps to the end of a section immediately after beginning a new one, or it ends earlier than it should. There are other random glitches, like today it just started playing static noise in the middle of a section (which wouldn't stop until I closed the app) which was distracting. Please consider fixing because the app could be a great tool but right now it's too unreliable to use.

-Currently trying to finish getting my last LOR but most applications are due March 1st. Not to mention I'm waiting for my Jan. LSAT. Can I submit applications before my CAS is completed/processed?

I have noticed that with my last few PrepTests, my Blind Review scores have been within the range of my goal score. Whenever I Blind Review, I notice that I made little mistakes with my actual score that I would not have made if I had had more time to decipher what the question was asking. Should I start spending more time studying individual sections with proper time constraints? Or if I focus on gaining an even stronger mastery of the concepts (different LR question types, etc.), will adaptation to time constraints eventually follow?

Hi everyone,

I know it's still early in the cycle and I have some schools decision still pending, but I sorta have that gut feeling I will attend one of these schools that have already accepted me.

I am still waiting on Texas A&M, SMU, UH and OU and got waitlisted at Texas Tech, but the two choices I'm really debating right now is U of Denver with a decent scholarship that puts COA at a little over 30k/year and Oklahoma City Law, which I understand is unranked but has given me the best scholarship offer and will put COA at only $15k/year.

I am drawn to U of Denver's better ranking and am fascinated at the idea of moving and working in Colorado, but the debt scares me. Fortunately, I have never had student debt. I am not too excited about possibly attending OCU Law considering that it is not a great school anywhere outside Oklahoma or OKC, but financially I think that will be my best offer and I wouldn't mind working in OKC for a couple years. I wish I knew where I wanted to work after 3 years, so I guess i'm also drawn to Denver because of the relative flexibility and mobility of a Denver Law degree?

Everyone on here has been completely honest and supportive with me, so I have no issue being transparent about my financial situation in order to help me with a decision. After my last year of work this year, I will have close to $55k in savings which I plan to use for law school, but obviously try and keep as much as I can. My parents have said they will help me with some of my expenses, but I am not willing to ask for help with tuition money.

Between Denver Law and OCU Law, what do you guys think would be better given my situation? I have close to or less than a 50% chance at the other schools I mentioned, which is why I'm not too hopeful that I will be accepted at this point. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

So two summers ago (May to August2017), I started my journey. I was scoring in 131, 133 range using the Self Trainer and Powerscore books. I cancelled my test day as I was not ready. My dream is to get into Harvard. I took a break and began studying again in December with 7sage.

In March 2018, I was scoring around 141, 142. In late July-August, I was scoring low 150s (152-153), my BR score was ranging 160-161.

My breakdown since November 2018 is -5/-4 on LR, -10/-12 on RC (I haven't studied for RC at all since I began studying), and for LR (-10/-9).

It is the last PT I took as so far, as I am still not improving in LR. So, I've been doing untimed sections of old tests and going back to the basics.

However, even untimed, I usually get -11/-12 totaled for both LR sections. In the meanwhile as I practice LR, I time myself in LG and typically go (-3).

Is this normal? I am feeling immensely discouraged as I thought by now, I would be ready to take the LSAT this June. With calculating my untimed LR sections, timed LG, and assuming I am still scoring (-10/-12) on RC, I am still scoring low 150s. If I keep studying how I've been studying, will I ever reach my target score (170-175)? Any tips?

Note: I work full-time, 40hrs a week. I try to study 2 hours before work, 1hr at lunch, and 10 hours on weekends (at least 15 hours a week).

My average preptest score is a 168 and I have scored a 169 on three separate tests. I am looking to break into the 170s and have read that teaching someone the test can be very helpful for achieving true mastery. So I'm looking to work with anyone -- preferably those just getting started or those having trouble breaking into the 150s or 160s -- who feels this could be a mutually beneficial exercise.

Has anyone taken the LSAT in Rome at this testing center? Looking for feedback.

Hey Guys!

I wondering if it would be to my benefit to upgrade my 7sage package from Starter to Ultimate. I am running out of practice material and money is pretty tight so i'm curious if anyone found upgrading as a cheaper option instead of purchasing more PT's online?

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if people were worried about the LSAT's transition from paper to digital format. I'm used to the traditional paper-pencil format for a test. I never had prepared for an exam that would be taken on a computer (aside from my driver's permit).

I wanted to hear what others had to say about it and what it would mean for future law school applicants.

Hi there! Thanks to JY and the 7Sage community, I scored a 168 on the September 2018 LSAT (an 18 point improvement from my diagnostic score). While I wait for my law school decisions and such, I would love to help 1 or 2 7Sagers, ranging in the 150 - low 160s, with the LR section. Though not an expert, I went from missing 20+ to missing 4 on the official test for this section. During our sessions, we will focus on blind review and habit-building strategies. You’d have to have a flexible schedule or be available Saturdays 3pm - 5pm/Sundays 4pm - 6pm PST. If you’re interested, message me your current PT breakdown and how many months you’ve been studying.

Thanks and happy studying,

Ann

Hello!

I am transitioning from studying in public venues and coffee shops to an office space where I can keep to myself at home. I wanted to see how other 7sagers set up their study spaces as for some motivational support and aesthetics inspo✨

I sat in on a law school class two days ago. In the second half of the lecture, the class dissected and applied a lengthy statute to hypotheticals. The statute, as I recall, was basically a conditional statement in the form of

A → [B and (C or D)]

(where two or three of these four variables are "and" or "or" groups)

At least one student had a hard time dissecting the statute (shame (s)he didn't take 7Sage), so the professor had to highlight conditional terms to help the student.

So, just in case you didn't know, evidently one's LSAT skills don't become completely useless after entering law school. Hopefully you now have one more reason to master those conditional lessons.

Hi Everyone!

I plan on taking the LSAT in either September or October. I want to purchase the Ultimate+ package that gives me access for 18 months. Does it make sense to purchase it if I only need roughly 6/7 months of studying?

[Admin note: Ultimate+ includes 12 months now]

Hi All,

I have a quick question. Are we allowed to/am I able to sell the remainder of my course subscription to a fellow 7Sager if I don’t need it anymore? If it’s an option, how would it work?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, all.

I'm barely scraping a 154 (138 cold diag), and after choking on the exam yesterday, I've decided to delay a year and take the July exam.

My typical breakdown is as follows:

LG: -4 LR: -10 LR: -10 RC: -13, I can BR up to about 164

I plan to continue to fool-proof games until I can consistently go -1 or -0, I think this is very realistic for me considering I started at -18 on games. I will restart the CC on LR and RC, I am missing a lot of basic fundamental skills.

I've burned through a lot of the recent PT's, does anyone have advice on how to start over? I have about 5 months until the July test, I'm really hoping to sit down and really learn the test. I really feel like if I learned LR like I've learned LG, I could break into the high 160's. Please let me know if this is a pipe dream lol.

Thanks to all!

Can someone please explain the new format of question analysis at the bottom of each video? Why would a LR question has a Passage/Game difficulty associated with it? If I remember correctly, it used to be blank or Non applicable. Is it to indicate the difficulty level of that section or the whole test? I’m confused.

So as you all know The July LSAT is basically a free shot since everyone will be able to cancel their scores after seeing them. I am on the Strengthening lesson on the CC so I am far away from finishing it. Should I register for the July test now or should i wait and see how will I progress?

On a side note I am going to school full time and my goal is 160-165. Can you guys give me advice on what to do here?

Hey guys, a while back some of you asked for an accommodated proctor. It took a while but we just uploaded a 5 section, accommodated LSAT proctor up on YouTube. We're hoping to get it worked into the app soon as well.

How do I get the passwords to download diagnostics from 7sage? Am I obligated to complete all of the previous lessons first? What if I want to skip a few and take a test?

I had an interview at WashU almost a month ago and still havent heard back. At the time I had just gradauted in December and didnt really have plan for what I was going to do until law school in the Fall. Being that I havent heard back yet, should I send a little update as well as my continued interest or just let it ride and wait it out?

I'm finding that a lot of the time, I have to read the stimulus twice before I fully comprehend what has been written, no matter how slowly I read the first time. It's adding at least another 30 seconds to my answering time. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve my comprehension?

I noticed that a lot of schools require only 1 or 2, but you can send up to 4. Do most people only send the required number?

I am conflicted because I would like to send at least one academic one and one work related one. What have people done in similar situations?

So I finished the core curriculum and started taking practice tests a few months ago. I take a practice test every other day and review the test I took on my off days. I was told that the best way is just to practice by taking as many tests as possible and learning from them. I really want to complete at least 70 tests by the time I hit June (im at around 20) and so I feel very pressured to keep this routine. However i do see a downside of this method because I feel like I don't have much time to practice drills or foolproof logic games. When reviewing my PTs on my off days, I look at every question(even the ones I got right) which is why it takes me around 6-7 hrs. My scores fluctuate but its mostly been around 168 on PTs(14-32). I was just wondering if you guys think its more important to lay off taking tests and spend more time drilling games and certain question types or to keep on with this method?
