I'm not sure if it's just me, but it seems as though a part of the core curriculum was removed. Whereas before it was ~240 hours long, now it's 218 for me. If it helps, I have Ultimate+.

In between studying for the December LSAT and writing essays for law school apps, I am starting to feel a bit overwhelmed. I feel like I need to devote a lot of my time on both. Any tips on how to keep my calm and carry on?

Hi!

Two questions:

One: I have been doing neuroscience research for 2.5 years and have 3 publications (coauthored) coming out. One possibility in Nature. My worry is that all of this will only make a mediocre soft for law schools. Any of you have had experience with how do law schools count this "extracurricular?"

Two: I received an associate degree in dental hygiene from a community college. They had a completely different grading system ( A-93% , B85%) no +_... how will this transfer on LSAC? Also I retook 3 classes and only have the second grades showing on my transfer to the 4 yr college. The first takes show as zero hours zero credits.

Thanks!

Or I can just use PT's?

What's MBE?????????

Because awesome people rarely get recognized - this post is dedicated to @"Dillon A. Wright" and the fantasticalness that is him. Whether it's answering all of our annoying questions via email or shutting down a troll on someone's thread with just enough sarcasm to keep you entertained, he's always there with that half smile, bright eyed avatar that is his profile pic. Cheers to you Dillon wherever and whoever you really are. Our LSAT prep wouldn't be the same without you!

A few hours?

Hi all -

I just finished my first LSAT practice exam. I did much better than I thought I would! I am aiming for a 160 and I am surprised at how well I tested my first time.

I need to work on my logic and reasoning skills. Those skills I can develop relatively quickly given the test dates of December and February. However, something I've struggled since I learned how to read is inserting words that aren't there. When I'm reading, I will subconsciously insert words like "if", "not", "hasn't," etc. This has a tremendous effect on my understanding of the stimulus and sometimes leads me to the wrong answer.

Does anyone else involuntarily add words when reading the stimulus? If so, how do you deal with it? Do you slow down your reading speed to fully understand the stimulus? If so, how do you balance that strategy with the limited time to complete the section?

Thank you for your constructive insight!

Hi everyone,

I've been studying for the December LSAT (I started ~2 weeks ago) and I'm already having serious burnout problems. I will start my day early, around 6:00am, to go to the gym, shower, have breakfast and be studying by 9:00am. I'll work for a bit, get distracted, get back to work, etc.... and then at around 3pm every single day (like clockwork!!) I will fall asleep in the middle of studying.

Sometimes it's straight up falling asleep at my desk, other times it's "let me relax for like 5 minutes" and then I fall asleep for 1hr+. It completely takes me out of the LSAT mindset and then takes me forever to get back into it after I wake up. I know that a lot of people's advice is to take breaks (even for days), but I get crazy anxious when I'm not looking at the material because I feel like I'm not giving myself enough time to study - does anyone else get like this?

Does anyone have any advice on how they've been combating burnout or fatigue for the December LSAT? Any tips or tricks that really get them feeling awake and into the material?!

Also, just wanted to mention - this is such an incredible community! One time I made the mistake of posting on lawstudents.ca and I got eaten alive ... lol. Thanks for taking the time to read this & happy studies!!! :)

Any thoughts on this?

Does LSAC release everyone's scores on the same day or do some people get it earlier than others ? Also is the date that's posted online the day when it will be released or is that an estimate by them of when they will be finished scoring and etc ?

LSAT warriors,

What do you look for when you watch yourself taking a full PT?

I recently began recording myself doing full 6-section practice tests under timed conditions and upon reviewing my performance on the computer was when I realized - I have no clue what to look for.

That's an over-exaggeration, I have 2 things I know to look for: 1) lingering on a question for too long and 2) spazzing out from time to time. But, these are just 2 things... I would absolutely love it if you can share your strategies and what you look for. And, ultimately, if you apply your new knowledge into real timed PT's.

Hey Ya'll! So I'm anticipating a re-take in December (took the Sept. test) and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to start up again? Another issue I'm also dealing with is I already used up a lot of the more recent tests.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where or how to contact a tutor? I am not even half way through the curriculum and am testing in Dec.

I am the type who needs to ask multiple questions and the commenting below is just taking too long.

I think its time I pay a tutor. Who did you use?

Thanks!

Hello good afternoon everyone,

I had a question on how are you suppose to approach Must be false question. I didn't see any lesson while looking through the core curriculum that specifically address this question type.

Sincerely,

Shawn

Hey, guys! I'm looking for advice. I started my studies without timing. When I found 7 Sage I continued to drill without timing. I'm now afraid of the clock. I will literally talk myself out of doing a PT because I'm scared of the clock. I can sit and take PTs all day without the clock but the moment I add the clock into the picture my whole thought process and strategy goes out the window. My scores are affected by this, obviously. I know my BR scores should be higher than the PT but there's a huge difference. Any suggestions? Obviously I need to just use the darn clock but give me something else. Anybody been in this situation? Anybody know what I can do to just forget the clock and stick to my game plan? I started by giving myself a min and some change on questions but that didn't seem to work. I was so scatter brained and my thoughts were all over the place. I was still not able to settle down and implement my game plan and strategy for that question type. This timing issue is also a huge reason why I keep pushing the test off. Help!!

Maybe you have heard, but the newest argument is whether or not a fish is considered "wet" if it is under water. Im curious to see what the aspiring lawyers on 7sage have to say about this one.

Is there any advantage/ disadvantage to taking the LSAT cold? I signed up for a free proctored LSAT on October 1, after which I promised I would begin CC prep for June 2018 LSAT.

The proctored exam will be a choice of either June 2007 or Prep Test 68.

I don't want to waste a PT. However, if it will be helpful to take the test cold in order to glean a sense of difficulty or insight into the test structure and environment, etc., then I'm all for it. Any advice from people who decided to take it cold or opted out?

Okay lets get real... how many times have you gone to the LSAC website to see if your score was available? lol

Is there a website where we can see what stats one needs to get a scholarship? (and the amount of scholarship given)

So i just registered for the december LSAT and the only location available nearby was the long beach convention & entertainment center. Im wondering if anyone has taken an LSAT in this location before or knows what the test conditions are like.

Hello, 7Sage peers.

I was wondering if anyone can give me some insight on the September LSAT if there was any new LG, LR questions that we haven't seen before on Pretests?

Hey guys, who can I contact regarding a refund? I have decided not to take the December LSAT so I will not be needing the course.

I emailed Dillon on Saturday but have heard nothing back. Is there anyone else that I can reach out to?

I was diagnosed with LSAT-itis.

After being poked, prodded, and measured... I was diagnosed with LSAT-itis by my college's doctor. On and off fevers, sore throat, serious drainage, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, and general exhaustion is the just beginning of the grossness. I've never been more confused in my life. I had come in for a routine check up on Monday and had briefly mentioned to the PA that I had just taken the exam that pass weekend. So when I came in Friday after being gross for days, the doctor saw in my record I had just taken the exam. She tested me for a whole bunch of stuff that all came back negative. After a moment, she sat me down and was like, "You have LSAT-itis."

Apparently i've was her 5th LSAT kid that week! My orders were a whole weekend of bed rest, DayQuil/NyQuil, fluids and Netflix. I complied happily lol!

So, this is a PSA: You can and will get sick after you sit for this exam if you aren't careful. Make sure you are getting enough sleep, eating right and working out. Be better then me.

Love from your favorite LSAT-itis victim,

Victoria
