I was hopeful that I could apply this cycle and most of my recommenders have already uploaded my recs to my file, unfortunately that won't be the case. Does CAS save my transcripts & LORs so I can reuse next cycle? Or will I have to repurchase it and ask them to upload everything again next year? Also some recommenders haven't uploaded yet, do I ask them to wait for next year?

Thank you!

When I first received my score from the September LSAT, I was discouraged. I scored a 151, well below my expectations. Powerscore simply wasn't working for me. I made the switch to 7sage, which might have been the best thing I could have done honestly. J.Y makes things so easy to understand, and it really helped me better myself at LR and RC.

Anyways, ended up with a 160 on this LSAT.

Moral of the story, YOU CAN DO IT! You can definitely increase your totals before February, I have faith in each and every one of you.

:)

I just got my LSAT score and i got a 170, I am not sure if i will take it again, however, this would not have been possible without the guidance of the 7sage community. I absolutely sucked at standardised tests but with 7sage's help I was able to improve my skills a lot. It was especially helpful cause i am an international student and English is not my native language (my RC was as bad as it can get).Thank you guys. Also, i will be happy to help anyone here looking to break plateaus or anything else with whatever knowledge I have of the LSAT. Don't give up guys, this was not my first attempt and i thought i will never touch a 170.

So I took the December LSAT, and I'm not happy with my score, I want to take the February one. Any advice on how to improve? or study schedule that has worked for other people? Is it better to have a study partner or practice alone etc. ? Thank you!!

Hey all, I'm aiming on nailing the logic games concepts so deeply in my head that they become easy to me, so I'll be consistently posting on this forum with plenty of questions up until my February testing. I apologize in advance.

My question concerns the biconditionals. I am taking this example from PT26 S1G4.

Here it says "G and V do not serve on the panel in the same year" which translates to G --> /V and V --> /G (contrapositive)

Then another rule says "Either I or V serve on the panel, but not both" which translates to I --> /V and V --> /I also shown in double arrows I (--) /V.

One of them, the I and V rule was called a biconditional by the instructor which I understand as it meaning the the presence of one confirms the absence of the other...But now I'm wondering what is the difference between the first and second rule. Because right now they look the same to me, but I know there is an inherent concept. I already understand the difference between both and but not both, but I'm a little confused here - anything would be helpful.

Thank you

I cannot check. I’ve tried twice and I just can’t bring myself to do it.

Hi there,

I had severe test day anxiety and froze up during the test. I just got my score and its a 155. My preptests were solidly 170-174. I have a 3.98 GPA from a top college. I am applying for accommodations for my next test. Does an initial 155 ruin my chances of going to a top school (Harvard, Columbia, Stanford) if I'm able to score a 170+ with accommodations the second time around?

Thanks,

Claire

If you submit applications through LSAC, and then get a new LSAT score, does LSAC send the score to all the schools I applied to? I'm wondering if there's a way to check or confirm that the schools see the new score.

Hey guys! I need a couple more points for the February test. What are some "last-minute" measures I should take? I just go the LSAT trainer book and is working hard at it. What else should I do?

Hey guys.

In short... I basically took my Dec. lsat cold...141... sucks I know.... the law school I want to go to has an evening program. A 145 would secure me.... Can I get this by Feb? with 7sage? Wanting to attend Northern Kentucky.... not a top school but it's my #1 school for a variety of reasons... my law mentor went there and it's in my state...

I had to focus time on finishing my doctoral project in leadership. Thankfully, I can breathe now and focus on the test. With my GPA and 141, the lsac calculator says I have a 50-70% chance of getting in.... I'm just not convinced....possible? I'm already signed up to retake so I don't need convincing....just curious where I would stand right now....

anyways, 7sage in a month and 1/2?

God bless my friends.

I dreamed about this day. The day that I would receive my score & post here to give my thanks and express my joy. How badly I wish that was the case for my writing this post .... I graduated in the spring and decided not to work post graduation so I could study full time for the LSAT. Fast forward 6 months of dedicated studying and scoring in the 160's, I open up my email from LSAC to find my score, 151. To say that I am distraught is a grave understatement. I am beginning to convince myself that I simply do not have the type of intelligence that the LSAT tests. I was going to send out my applications once I received my score but now I don't even know where I should go from here. I want to go to law school more than anything. Especially, this cycle. But I don't think I have it in me to put so much of myself into something once more and get nothing in return.

Mine is grey and I’m currently waiting. Every comment I’ve seen so far from people who have received their scores seems to suggest they did worse than their PTs and previous tests. It’s making me nervous. Did anyone feel the opposite way?

The words to describe how i feel at this moment is tough. When i first took the lsat, i didnt study. I was confident. My score in june was 142. Not good. My score reflected my study habit.

For the past 4 months, here in 7sage, i studied, understood the concepts. Knew how to breakdown a question and choose the right answer choice, knew the logic games, reading comp., i understood why i got a 142 in june and how i can get better score because of what i learned.

To my disbelief, today, i see i scored 12 pts lower then my june score.

How? Where did i fail? Why is this fucking test so goddamn hard!?

So, this may be the worse place to ask this, but the TLS page on this has many outdated links and information. My question is has anyone done an in class prep course? If so, how did you like it? Did you mix in 7sage info with your course If so, was that helpful? Also, any general pros and cons about in class prep specifically with powerscore or any company. Thank you!

Hi 7sagers, I'm sad and if you are too, then you're not alone. For those who got the score they want, congratulations and I hope you are celebrating this weekend.

I've been lurking around 7sage but never posted. Figured today would be a good day to post and ask "what are my chances".

I've taken the LSAT 3x at this point. I cancelled the first 2 scores and now this third score is a 167. I've signed up for February but is a 4th retake even a good idea? I was hoping to get a 170 or higher but that didn't happen.

Softs: Graduated in three years at a top 20 university (its a public univ), 3 strong academic LOR's, student government elected, extensive extracurriculars, LGBT, and current job at Google.

What are my chances at:

Thanks for any and all insight! This whole process is literally so laksdjfoiwruowjfsd

Hey everyone,

I just got done with my INDIVIDUAL Georgetown interview. I thought it would be helpful if I laid out my experience so people may learn from it, or in case you have a Georgetown interview coming up soon!

So first, in case you were wondering, it went really well for me. Like really really well. Like extraordinarily well :smile:

Here are my "situational" takeaways:

1. It was very informal

You should still wear a suit, but the interview itself was not structured at all. In fact, when my interviewer walked in (after a brief banter about the ties we were wearing) he explicitly said "This interview is very informal, so don't be stressed."

2. It was "so I could learn more about Georgetown."

In fact he never said it was so Georgetown could learn more about me. It honestly felt more like he was selling me on Georgetown than I was selling myself to Georgetown.

3. It was so they could make sure I was a human being.

In fact, my interviewer explicitly said that. They want to make sure that you aren't just a great resume and numbers, but can actually be social and like, you know, talk to people :smile:

Here are my suggestions of how to prepare:

1. Know your resume.

Be prepared to discuss the jobs you held and what roles you played (informally). My interviewer talked through some of the jobs I held and asked me about what my role was. He asked me about my time working on a presidential campaign, and I talked through my general responsibilities. Additionally, he asked me about my time interning for an appellate court. *He asked me about the procedure of how appellate cases were decided. I recommend that if you have any law-related experience on your resume, you should work hard to remember the specifics of what you did. Afterall, you'll be interviewing with (presumably) a lawyer and they will know the topic in depth.

---1a. If there are any atypical things on your resume, be prepared to discuss them.

----------For example, I transferred from one school to another after my freshman year. Just be able to come up with a coherent reason why you did the thing you did. If you transferred, I highly recommend you have a more compelling story than "I just didn't like my old school." You should be able to discuss at length why you did X, Y, or Z.

2. Be a good conversationalist.

As I said before, this interview was NOT formal. It was NOT my interviewer reading from a list of questions and jotting down notes. Instead, it was a conversation. That being said, you should be good at small talk. If they bring up their children it's not bad to ask about their age, what college they go to, etc. It's not bad to ask questions either, and you should ask questions throughout, since there is no formal "Q and A" portion of the interview. Just smile and be friendly and open, and don't be scared to go down a relevant tangent every now and again (me and my interviewer talked about felony disenfranchisement for 10ish minutes).

3. Bring questions! AND LOTS OF THEM!

And these don't have to be super specific questions either! Just ask what their experience was like at Georgetown, what the professors were like, what was the student community like, etc. Also as said above, just ask questions throughout the interview since there is no Q and A. The interview will be more like a conversation, and it's good if you have questions ready to be able to fill the awkward lulls and transition to new topics.

----3a. Ask questions about your interviewer's experience

-----------I feel like this is just a good interviewing tip. Someone once told me "people rarely remember what you say, but they remember how you made them feel." It makes people feel good to talk about themselves, so let them :smile:

4. Be prepared to answer soft-ball questions.

Like your typical ones: why law? what field of law are you interested in? I wasn't explicitly asked a question about "why Georgetown?" but I'd be prepared to give that answer too. I had no hard-ball questions though. Nothing like "what was a stressful situation you were in and how did you get out of it?" type questions.

All in all, my Georgetown interview process was really nice. Congruent with what others have said before, its very informal and felt more like they were selling me Georgetown than I was selling myself.

If you have an individual interview, it's probably a good sign! It felt more like a gateway than a test for admission. One pre-law advisor said that among individuals who received an individual Georgetown interview, 75% are admitted. So if you got an individual interview, just sit back, relax, and be yourself! So long as, you know, "yourself" is a cool person :smile:

I’m glad this is over and thanks 7sage for such an awesome program that made a world of difference!

I don't even know how to react to this... my score has decreased 13 points from my pt average. I have timed myself every time and took about 30 timed pt. I took a pt one day and spent 8-10 hours on reviewing the next day. Has this ever happened to any of you? Also, please give me some advice on what is the best road to take.

#christmasruined

Hi everyone,

Would any of you mind giving advice for an LSAT score addendum? I would like to complete it asap, and I have no idea what to do. I got a 13 point increase, and although I am not happy with my score there are some conditional acceptance programs that I may be eligible for. I am prepared to resume studying for the LSAT again as soon as Christmas is over in the event that I am rejected from the program.

I got an email say that "Your LSAT answer sheet or registration form was not signed. Until you sign and return the “No Signature” notification letter(s) sent to you by LSAC, your file may be on hold." What does this mean?

When should I start actually cracking down and studying for the LSAT? I'm a freshman in college so I know I'm suuuuper early, but many of my friends are pre-med and they're discussing doing MCAT study sessions starting this upcoming summer.

While I know pre-meds are typically pretty psycho (lol) it got me a little nervous. When is a good general time that I should start creating a study plan?

Hi everyone! I have a few questions regarding BR:

How long does it generally take you to BR one LR section? Is it more beneficial to BR every question or just the questions you circled?

The reason I am asking is because I’ve noticed that BRing an entire LR section and THEN checking the answers and properly understanding them is taking me quite a while! Thank you!!!

I'm hoping to submit apps in the next week or so. Just got my December score and am relatively pleased. Has anyone here reached out for a fee waiver? Is it too late to do so now?

If not, do I simply make a polite request with my LSAT score and GPA? I'm thinking of requesting at a few T14s where I'm above the 75th on both GPA and LSAT

Hi! Haha was definitely not expecting scores so soon but...163. (-3 RC, -6 LR, -8 LR, -6 LG). I was planning on applying to some top 20 schools, such as Cornell, USC, UCLA, etc...however, my LSAT score is at their 25th, with a 3.8 GPA. Non-URM. I checked, and these schools seem to accept the February LSAT.

So, I'm not really sure how this works, but I'm planning on retaking the LSAT in February. I want to submit applications to these schools - do I tell them to wait for the February LSAT? And if so, can they see what I got in December? Can I get admitted based on my December stats? :/ Is there such a thing as getting rejected based on December score, but then being reconsidered after February?

Timeline wise, I would prefer to start school this year, but if I did well in February, I would consider waiting for next cycle.

Thank you!!

So I just received my Dec score. I was scored one point lower than my June & Sept score ( which were exactly the same). How do you think adcomms will look at it? the score is in the 150's. Do you think I should write an addendum?
