Can someone tell me the proper way to blind review. I seem to be doing it wrong

Hello,

I just went to a pre-law advisor in order to have my essays and resume reviewed. I have done quite extensive research beforehand on how to write them and what to include. The, very nice guy, told me to delete half of my resumé and not to include things like interests, or Dean's list; while sipping coffee from a blue Cooley Law cup. I hoped he would give me some valuable advice, but I have a gut feeling not to follow most of his revisions.

My question is: I only have one more person who can read my essays. Are any of you willing to read and help me proof read them?

English is not my first language and I'm aware I make a lot of mistakes I can't catch myself.

Hello! Are there answers available for LR questions in the question bank? Or is it just my sound malfunctioning?

I quickly went thru the CC last year over the summer before my senior year of undergrad and did an awful job at it. Didnt take it seriously, didn’t really take notes, skipped RC, skipped a lot of the beginning which I thought was unnecessary and basic like of course I know premise/conclusion.

I stopped studying in November 2017 to take a “break” and never really went back to it.

Now I’m really taking my time with it and realizing how many nuances there are in just identifying premise/conclusion.

I think my diagnostic likely be similar to my first diagnostic and it will be discouraging and stressful. if there is any sort of benefit I’ll take it.

I've been studying since September and I've just hit a wall. I tried to do another PT today but I got so antsy that I couldn't focus, I lost like 10 minutes on one question because I was so out of it, and paced my room rigorously like a mad person. I know everyone says to take a break if you feel burnt out but this is 2 weeks before the LSAT and I'm worried I don't really have time to relax or take a break; I still have stuff to work on/drill and I need to get better with time constraints.

What do you guys recommend doing when you have bad burnout this close to an exam?

An interesting article about memory and learning:

Plan accordingly with your studies. Take the time to layer knowledge, circle back frequently, and consume consciously.

Do law schools look at your highest LSAT score or do they combine all of them together and look at the average?

Kaplan is offering free LSAT prep courses online right now.

Any other free LSAT prep offered?

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty much set on beginning my LSAT studying using 7sage - yay! I'm hoping to take the test in either September or November. However, work will be very busy for the next ~4 months, so I'll have less time to study during the first half of the year as compared to the second half of the year.

How much time should be dedicated to each course option? (Does it even make sense for me to ask this question? I don't know how the courses work.) I know they allow for a "personalized schedule," but I imagine that a general amount of time should be dedicated to studying with course per week/month.

Essentially, I'd like to figure out whether to save the 7Sage course for later this year when I'll have more capacity.

Thank you kindly!

I am curious towards your approach on ordering and structuring the course content.

Did you follow the syllabus and do it chronologically?

Or did you jump between the sections and PT’s?

Did you put heavy emphasis on learning fundamentals of lawgic?

Or jump straight into drilling problem sets?

How many days a week did you study and for how long?

What was something that you personally thought of or did that helped information stick?

In hindsight, were there any weaknesses in your study habits/style?

You get the drift..

Regards,

Dalton

First GoToMeeting? Let's do a quick system check: https://link.gotomeeting.com/system-check

So I've been admitted and got my financial aid award letter and it was shocking to say the least. They are going to let me take the LSAT again and if I score higher I can report that score and have my scholarship increased with the possibility of a full ride.

I took the LSAT in sept and got a 149. I prepped hard and totally bombed my best section LR. I went -3/5 on the other sections and averaged a 156 on prep tests.

my question is:

Where do I even begin?

Hi!

Is there any way to pre-download the videos through the 7Sage mobile app? This way you could watch them should you use public transit to work (I live in NYC and have a 45 minute subway commute where I could be easily focusing on videos; thats 1.5 hours more study time per day)?

If not, how could we go about suggesting such an app development to the creators? Anyone else want this feature, if it doesn't already exist?

Hi everyone,

I bubble my answer immediately after I completed a question, but I started to doubt whether this is a efficient way or not.

What are you guys' strategies on bubbling?

Thanks.

Can anyone who is familiar with the February tests confirm that every single non-experimental question on the February test have been previously tested on other test takers (through experimental sections on their tests or outside-of-us administered tests, etc)? I heard that February tests have unusual questions so I was wondering. Maybe people mistakenly feel like the content is unusual only because they don't get to see which questions they got wrong??

Hi all! First post on here. So.... I took the December 2017 LSAT. It was a disaster for me. I had been self studying since around March of 2017 and took a Blueprint course over the summer with the plan to take the September LSAT. However, I postponed because my PTs had been getting worse leading up to September, so I thought I needed more time. My initial timed diagnostic PT was 159, and I had been PTing consistently in the low to mid 160s. I scored a 145 on the December LSAT... It was tragic. I couldn't sleep the night before. I just didn't think I would score as low as I did and I honestly have no idea what happened that day. I truly had to rethink if I had what it takes for law school. I was all set to apply this cycle; obviously with such a low score I had to postpone for a year. SO, I've been taking the last few months off from anything LSAT related and now I think I'm ready to start studying again. I'm signed up for the June test.

Obviously, I need to really start from the beginning and go through all the fundamentals to get it down again. I used the LSAT Trainer, Blueprint classroom course and 7sage for games. I had done PT 42 - 78. How would I go about retaking PT's? Erase all my work and try again? I also work full-time, so I cannot study more than a few hours or so a day with the exception of the weekend. My boss actually paid for my Blueprint course, and I feel awful that I did not do well. Should I just use the material that I have - re-read LSAT trainer / utilize materials from Blueprint and go from there? Should I purchase the 7sage course?

Any recommendations from whoever has been in a similar situation would be great. Thanks all!

I’m under the impression that schools emailing you to apply are doing so just to get there apps up, and therefore, have a lower admittance rate (although it’s obviously a business that needs attendees, too). I haven’t really given it much thought until I got an email from Harvard today. Any thoughts?

Hi- Cannot seem to grasp this question type. Any study advice or help?

Hi all, is there a way to print out questions from the QBbank? I would like to start drilling LR questions and find it easier to do them on actual paper so I can take notes and underline what is important to retain. Thanks.

Hey guys, a 7Sager asked a question and I thought you guys could help out! Here it is:

I have about 10 fresh PTs left and I'm registered for the February test, and was wondering if it would be advisable for me to leave all of them untouched for the June test or to go through only the LG sections before the Feb test? I heard there are a lot of curveballs/weird games for the late 70s tests which I haven't solved yet, and so I thought it would be a good idea to get as much exposure to them.

And in the meanwhile, would it be best for me to re-take older PTs that I've forgotten and hardcore blind review like we did together?

Hi,

I take like hours to review questions that I got it wrong... I go through every answers and try to figure it out why each is wrong or right...

I've noticed if I review like 10 questions.. I spend almost an hour... sometimes more..

Am I the only one who's taking this long? Is this normal?

Hey There is this question in one of the quizzes and we are supposed to negate it:

Drug-related crime is not as serious a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is.

I read it as “all” drug related crime is not as serious a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is.

So wouldn’t this be the negation: Some drug related crime is as serious as the mayor claims it is or more?

This is the answer that was written for the quiz:

It’s not the case that drug-related crime is not as serious of a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is.

Drug-related crime is just as serious of a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is, or it is more serious. (Which is the same thing as saying – some drug related crime is as serious of a problem for the city as the mayor claims it is)

Anyone?

So in fall, back when I was hoping for this cycle, I met with my recommenders, then had to let them know I'm delaying until the next cycle. Now I just want to send them a quick update so we stay in the loop with our communications and so they can make plans for scheduling the writing and letter submission in the next several months. Has anyone written one of these interim emails before?

I am new to 7sage and I have not completed the cc yet and am wondering if I should finish the cc before I start drilling the topics that I recently finished with. Any help would be great, thanks guys.
