My November score isn’t what I was expecting and I have no idea what to make of it now...
First take was December 2017 and because of various things that went wrong at the test center/distracted me I ended with a 157 (have an LSAC letter explaining subpar conditions). I delayed a year and studied more on and off this year for November 2018, PT’ing in 163-166 (BR’ing 170-173)...and although I felt somewhat confident I got a 155. I did run short on time in two sections but didn’t think it’d impact me much. I have all my apps ready and was planning to submit now. I can’t delay another year as I already have, should I take January? I have finished the 7Sage curriculum and done a lot of PTs, but still have a lot left. Any advice please?? :(
My friend told me that LR has changed drastically since the earlier prep tests and became very different around prep test 80 or so. Anyone know more info about this? Is this accurate?
How important are the earlier tests if the LSAT has changed?
While digging around on the LSAC site, I came across an interesting piece of information:
Will I know if I will be taking the digital test if I register for the July 2019 LSAT? No.
For the July 15, 2019 test administration, some test centers will be administering the pencil-and-paper test, and some will be administering the digital test. The test content will be the same regardless of which method a test taker receives. Test takers will not know in advance which test their center will be using. This is a recognized best practice under educational testing standards for moving to a new testing method. We recommend that all July test registrants use the free online tutorial that will be available on LSAC.org in December 2018 to become familiar with the Digital LSAT.
When can I register for the July 2019 test?
Registration for the July 15, 2019 test will open in mid-December 2018 at LSAC.org.
FYI: According to LSAC, only three tests are going to be disclosed next year.

So I'm based in Melbourne, Australia and my first preference is Melbourne University and my second is Monash University. I have already been accepted into Monash (my alma mater), and today I was notified that my application from Melbourne was rejected because my score was too low. My LSAT score is 156 and they have indicated they'd be looking for 160+ for a successful application. I'm 24 and I'm kind torn on whether I should try the LSAT again and wait till the next round this time next year, or accept Monash and start in January. If I wait I would be graduating at 29 or possibly older and feel that might be too old, but Melbourne is 8th in the world and the LSAT standards in Australia are so much lower than the rest of the world, I feel like its an opportunity I shouldn't squander. The next LSAT exam is in January here but there will also be one in March, and probably June as well as September, so I'm also not sure if I do opt to take it again if I want to draw it out for more study time, or do it sooner so as to not forget stuff or burn out.
Opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys, it's finals week this entire week for me.
I was personally thinking about taking a break from the LSAT this week.
I was wondering what the effects of not studying for a week was for your cases?
Thanks Bs! :D
Hi all!
I just got an awesome job offer that would require me to submit my applications as a part time evening law student rather than full time. ....but I'm not sure if that's doable for someone who is not a superhuman student, but always an honor student with great study habits.
Give it to me straight - is it possible without major life stress/issues? If so, how'd you (or someone you know) do it?
Thank ya!
EDIT: I am financially independent and am weighing paying with loans for all of law school and living expenses if I go full time OR being more financially stable with a career building job and a salary while going to school in the evening. The way I view it, either way I'll be at 100% - in your personal experience, are you glad you worked and went part time?

Just feeling a little hurt right now...
I have recently decided to leave my full time job in order to dedicate more time to studying. However, I have read that it is generally not a good idea to have a large gap on your resume. So I am in the process of seeking a part time position. Does it matter what it is?
Does anyone know if I apply now will my Saturday score from November be seen by the schools. Is there anything else I'd have to do to get that to them?
I'm a non traditional student (age wise)
I wanted to start law school in 2019 fall. I cant relocate so I started looking into the hybrid programs. Anybody have useful information. Its a new trend, replacing part time night programs. Mitchell Hemline has the only graduated class this year. The other option I saw was Syracuse University (inaugurating class this spring) and Touro. Daytona and Denver are also starting them this fall of 2019, but they are probably not an option for me since the classes run over Saturday.
The last set of PDFs I printed had like an 8 point font, while in the past it was probably a 12 point font and I don't think I changed the settings. @studentservice What are your thoughts? Thanks.
Hey all. I just finished the core curriculum and have jumped back into timed PT's. The analytics on this site are great and I have identified one major LR weakness and two minor ones. I plan on setting aside at least one day in the near future to make my first attack.
How often do you, fellow 7Sagers, break from PT's post-core curriculum to fine tune your understanding of your weaknesses in the core curriculum? After every three tests or after every five? What is your drilling strategy after that? 20 3 of 5 difficulties, followed by 20 4 of 5's, followed by 20 5 of 5's of that type, for example?
Hello,
I am currently an enlisted sailor.
I will be done with my navy career by a year.
I had already graduated from a small private university with a LSAC gpa of 3.08 (I did not know I had this low GPA. My degree GPA is 3.8)
I had not taken my LSAT yet, but hoping that if I could score a 170+, would this help with an admission to few top 20s?
Also, would military experiences help boosting my chances to get into top 20s? (UCI, UCD, UCLA, BU, BC, WASHU, ND, EMORY!!!)
I do not need scholarship because of the benefits that I will receive from the military.
If there are any ideas on regard to the information above, please feel free to share any advices from this point.
Is it weird that I miss the studying? It has been9 days since the Nov 2018 test, and now that Thanksgiving is over I have nothing to occupy my time. It's like a weird form of Stockholm Syndrome where I miss what had kept me captive for so long. Lol I guess I've got to find a new focus. Application here I come

It can be downloaded or simply viewed at the link above. It helps me keep the core curriculum fresh in my mind, hopefully it can help someone else too. Let me know if there are any errors or if you have any questions.

I’m having a lot of fun with these. Maybe a good way to pass time while waiting for admissions decisions or score reports.

Hi! I've been studying for a couple months now, primarily using PTs 52-81. I was planning on taking the November exam and worked through most of them in anticipation, and then I missed the sign up date by literally a day, and got stuck having to wait for the January exam -- so I'm getting really close to being out of tests. What I don't want to do is get stuck in a situation where I'm taking exams where I'm overly familiar with the questions.
I could buy old PTs, but I'm not sure how relevant they are to the current exam -- I've heard logic games are pretty outdated. Should I buy them and work out of them now, then with a month out go back to the newer tests? Or should I not buy them at all and just stagger the practice tests until January?
How do people write out explanations for questions and do you use this method for RC, LR and LG?
Hey everyone, happy thanksgiving! Last year one of my LSAT scores came out about a week before the predicated date. Does anyone think that may happen for the November exam. I want to have all my apps ready by the time the scores come out. Thanks
So I'm done with the core curriculum and have started taking PTs. I've taken about 10 so far and this is what i'm getting
6-10 questions wrong for LR, 0-2 questions wrong for LG, and 0-4 questions wrong for RC
On average I score anywhere between 168-172. I'm aiming for at least a 175 (I know it sounds lofty but I don't have a high GPA) but I'm not sure what I should do. I know I need to work on LR and a bit on RC but I'm not sure how. Any suggestions?
Bit of a random question but - during test day I was told to try and minimise your eraser use, but does that mean that you should practice LG without it completely? Or still have it with you in case?
So now that test day has come and gone, so have all of our anxieties.
Right?
Well, no. https://media.giphy.com/media/lNMyVfxjfzIJO/giphy.gif Now we've got a brutal wait before test scores come out. You'll estimate how you did on each section, put it all together, and come up with a score range you think you're likely to have achieved. And then you'll toss that out the window and run the whole process over again. One moment you'll be thinking optimistically, the next you'll be certain that you did even worse than you could possibly have imagined. https://media.giphy.com/media/1FMaabePDEfgk/giphy.gif I'd tell you not to do this, but you will anyway. So just know that you're being dramatic! It's normal, everyone else is doing it, and you're almost certainly wrong. Regardless, it's done with and dwelling on it won't change anything anyway. So, do as little of that as you can manage. Another thing to not drive yourself crazy with: Constantly checking and refreshing LSAC. https://media.giphy.com/media/tei52cyY5mroA/giphy.gif Scores will come when they come. You will get an email the moment your scores post, and the email will contain your score. Assuming you have some kind of notification settings on your phone, this means that the exact moment you have access to your score, you will be notified. So let's all try to be like a bunch of little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like?
So, some things to do during the wait instead of freaking out:
Applications! Get those things ready to fire off! When the scores get published, schools are going to get a wave of apps and if you can be ready to be on the front end of that, all the better. So be prepared!https://media.giphy.com/media/13HBDT4QSTpveU/giphy.gif
Friends. Remember those people from before the LSAT that you used to do things with? See what those guys are up to.

Read. I read the whole Harry Potter series during my wait. It really helped. But you do you. What's your thing? Read all the Star Wars books or Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire or The Complete Works of Shakespeare or your favorite smutty romance novels. https://media1.giphy.com/media/l0MYtRl33WaN4HGBq/200.gif#19
Netflix. Like reading, but better! https://media2.giphy.com/media/nwleaG1TObWsE/200.gif#0

Hobbies. What are some of the things you used to enjoy doing? Do those things. Personally, I like brewing beer, camping, writing, video games, keeping up with new music, etc. Done with LSAT, I was free for the first time in a long time to engage with the things I enjoy. https://media.giphy.com/media/SE95wexIfovzq/giphy.gif
Treat yo Self. You deserve it. That one thing on your Amazon wish list that's been calling you for months now? https://media1.giphy.com/media/V9zqL1ZILNTmE/200.gif#7 That really nice bottle of wine you've been saving for an occasion? https://media3.giphy.com/media/8fn9oF6IPZoEE/200.gif#11 That really nice pair of jeans that really makes your ass look fantastic? https://media0.giphy.com/media/13SDiAmoCH2nw4/200.gif#73
So there's plenty to keep yourself occupied, but of course, your pending score will inevitably force itself to the front of your mind from time to time. And when it does, we have been there/are right there with you. So do try to be cool, but when you can't, we'll freak out and speculate with you. We're here.
