Hi everyone,

I wanted to get people's opinions on this. When I was at college I had a verbal disagreement with a public saftey officer that escalated to me writing a formal apology and doing some community service. Since I was the subject of a disciplinary hearing, I want to obviously disclose this information. I called my alma matter this morning and they have no record of anything, ever happening with me during my time there. I asked for a letter, signed by the Dean of Students, attesting to that fact for my records moving forward (which they are willing to provide), but how should I disclose this?

It was 8 years ago so my memory of it is far from perfect, so should I just say that I had a verbal disagreement with Public Saftey and state that my alma matter has no record of it, along with submitting the letter as evidence? I want to disclose it, but I also don't want to look stupid since I'm disclosing something that technically doesn't exist and no one has a clear record of. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have a google doc that is dedicated to BR. Depending on the question type I type up the necessary information in the document, for example if it's a flaw question I would write down the conclusion/MP, support, gap, answers analysis, and my final answer. I go through every question. I like it because it forces me to break down my thought process, but it takes a lot of time and I am just curious as to how other 7Sagers do it.

And I'm getting excited. About 10 hours of LR CC remaining and then I get to start the LG section. I find it strange that I'm excited, since its my weakest section. It is what brought me to 7Sage, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Especially for those who plan to go or want to go to UPenn, what are your thoughts on the Amy Wax controversy? Amy Wax used to be a 1L professor who stated that African Americans rarely finish at the top half of her classes. She also made numerous other racist statements in the past as well.

Hi y'all,

I remain invisible(I'm just silently drilling LG's in my room) but I'm always so pleased to be a part of such a supportive community called 7sage!

Quick question here: I cannot find PT A, B, C and Feb '97 as part of the syllabus portion of the curriculum where I have been printing out every single PT released from the past. Is there a specific reason as to why these PT's are not offered?

Thanks for your help and happy studying ! :)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, 7sagers!

I started running consistently last Fall, and I’ll be running my first half marathon tomorrow and first marathon in November in NYC.

Do any experienced runners have any last minute advice for a first half marathon? Is anyone else running the United Airlines Half tomorrow or the NYC Marathon this year?

On another note, how do you guys think you’ll incorporate running in law school? I’m wondering if I can train for any major races while I’m busy studying.

Why do more people seem to want to attend school in California? Its literally like watching the East coast and West coast battle over more schools in the top rankings. I'm just curious if others are currently living in a warmer area, and are dying to get out? I live in South Florida, and can't imagine spending my Law school career in the same state. I may be missing a bigger picture such as costs, acceptance, scholarships, etc. I'm just wondering as to why so many of those, whom already reside in Cali want to stay?

My goal is to be taking 5-section tests from now until the June LSAT, but I want to make it feel as real as possible. Does anyone have a good method of disguising the extra section within their test? I found a RC section from another test that matched my RC section # and blacked out any identifying information. I shuffled up the 5 sections and made sure I had no idea which was coming next. It was kind of a hassle and I ended up knowing which was which anyway (I inadvertently took a glance at the first passage when blacking out), but I'm interested to hear how other people organize their 5-sections. Any tips would be helpful.

After hearing testimony after testimony on the benefits of combining both The LSAT Trainer ("Trainer") and 7Sage strategies, I finally went out and purchased the Trainer. I already purchased the the 7Sage Ultimate+ package and plan on taking the Nov 17th LSAT.

For those that have employed both programs in their study regimen, what have you found to be the most effective approach in managing these 2 methods? Would you advise reading the Trainer book in its entirety before diving into 7Sage? What have people typically used Trainer and 7Sage for? I heard that Trainer has a solid approach for RC and LR flaw questions and 7Sage for LGs and the balance of the LR question types. Do people generally agree with this?

Not sure how to juggle these two approaches in the most timely and effective manner nor what to use each for. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi - I am reviewing a few videos and they pause and start, pause and start. Specifically, the videos pause for about a minute or two, then start for about 10 seconds and then pause again for another minute or two! Its so annoying! I haven't been able to watch a full video. My internet is running fine - kids on it and no problem for them. I am using chrome and cleared my cache but the videos are still pausing. Please help. I need to finish several videos today.

My computer (15 in macbook pro - about 3 years old) fans every time I do certain things on the 7sage website (ie watch many videos in a row). I use google chrome.

I shut down my computer regularly, quit out of unnecessary tabs and applications (to the point that this website is the only thing open). Any suggestions? I purchased a stand for my laptop that has cooling fans, though sometimes my computer will still fan.

Edit: I've FPed the LG Bundle, but I'm considering going through it again before coming back to new LG sections. Thoughts?

Since finishing the CC I've done 7 PTs, with a 170.7 first take average and a ~175 BR average.

Section splits: -1.9 LR, -2.7 LG, -3 RC.

For LR there's no particular Qtype that's messing me up, and I think I'm getting the hang of RC now. However, LG has always been my weak point, and I just went -6 on my most recent PT (LG section rated easier).

I'm currently doing 2 PTs/week, but I want to bump it up to three while continuing to foolproof LG. My rationale is that that would give more exposure to new questions (instead of drilling old material) and experience under test day conditions.

Is there a reason I shouldn't be too impatient and instead take my time, maybe go back and drill some older LR sections? Or is it okay to go ahead with the PT number bump?

When are you guys planning to work out during law school? Morning, afternoon, evening? I was thinking of doing a 3-day a week full-body workout regimen consisting of deadlifts, squats and bench. What kind of workout plan will you guys follow?

-deleted-

So I may be overthinking this process, but whats the proper way to send a LOCI. Do i attach it in the email as a doc x, pdf, or copy/paste into the body of the email. Also are these suppose to be double spaced or single spaced?

How's everyone doing in their MM brackets? Am I the only one who has NM state beating Clemson? I also had Buffalo, so... before we doubt the stats, I'm curious to see what any of y'all are up to

I can't tell whether its law school admissions, or the fact that I still have a perfect bracket, that's causing me more anxiety...

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted here in a very long time. I got accepted into my top choice/the school where I currently live (thank you 7 sage) and got a small scholarship offer. I'd like to try and negotiate for more money, but the problem is, I didn't apply anywhere else. I have nothing to compare my offer to. I figured if I didn't get in I'd sit out a cycle and try again. My numbers are both above the school's 75th percentiles. How should I go about asking? Should I even bother? Not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum, I'm sorry if I didn't!

Thanks!!

Hello 7sagers!

So I had planned to do the November LSAT, but now I am thinking of doing the January one. I have been studying since December. So doing the November test would actually put me right there at the advised one year mark but something tells me I might need that extra bit of time. So now I'm just wondering in terms of getting admitted, how disadvantaged I'd be to do the Jan LSAT? I'm really shooting for a 170, so if I did get that, am I right to assume I wouldnt be that disadvantaged even though I'd be applying pretty late in the cycle?

Thanks guys,

L

My boss wrote me a good letter of rec for law School and her birthday is coming up on Tuesday. I have a few books I think she may enjoy. Since she’s my current boss, would a book (or any gift past a card) be inapparoriate to give? I sent her a thank you card for the letter but she also gave me a huge (monetary wise) gift for Christmas and of course wrote my law school letter. She’s only been my boss for 1.5 years at this point. The book I’m thinking of giving her is technology related (close to her field)

I have just receieved a full tuition offer from a law school ranked outside of the top 100 nationally however this school is well regarded in its region and is relatively close to where I live. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello!! I have over a year to study and try to reach my ideal score. I have the LSAT Trainer but haven’t started. I’d like to try 7sage. Would you recommend the Starter for basics and then upgrade as needed or read through the Trainer first?

My concern is I can only afford the Starter right now, so if it would make sense to wait I can do that as well.

Thank you in advance!!
