Has anyone had experience retaking the LSAT to get off the waitlist?

Considering doing that

Does anyone know? I think it was under Logic Games, but I can't remember where...

Thanks in advance.

Hey does anyone have any links to informative websites discussing the waitlist process and what to do. Also I'm looking for help regarding LOCI; any samples to read from? Thanks.

Hey guys, we're posting on behalf of a 7Sager. They're wondering the following:

Which package do you recommend that I sign up for to take the June LSAT?

Any advice or questions for this 7Sager?

I used 7Sage for all my studying. The community and the curriculum is awesome and helped me earn a top 10% score. I was able to secure a full ride from a strong regional T1 (UF) - this was my goal and I am happy to accomplish it.

You all are great here and this has to be the most supportive law related forum I have found on the internet.

I plan to stick around and I am sure you all will go on to do great things!

Thanks for everything 7Sage.

Hey guys,

I'm curious to see how other 7sagers have broken out of the low 160s. To give you an idea of where I'm at, I'm averaging about -6 per section on LR, -5 on LGs, and -5 on RC for an avg of 161 the ten most recent. With more drilling, I think I can get the LGs down close to -0. However, I'm really struggling to get my LR score to the point where a 170 is possible. I'm making 2-3 dumb mistakes per 50 questions, and then missing most of the harder questions (doesn't really matter what type they are). Timing is still an issue for me, although I'm getting through the first 10 in ten minutes or so. Any specific drills/techniques on escaping the 160s would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi all,

So I just finished with the core curriculum, and took my first post-curriculum simulated exam. I scored much higher than my diagnostic (thanks 7sage!) but I'm still around ~8-9 points away from my target score. My current schedule is to take 2-3 timed exams per week each week until the June exam, where I plan to sit for my first LSAT.

When I take simulated exams, I usually spend the whole day taking & blind reviewing the exam. I understand that part of the blind review process, but what I don't understand is what I am supposed to be doing on my days off when I am not taking PTs.

My weakest section is logic games (-6+), and I'm currently working on fool-proofing the games from PTs 1-35, which seems to be the recommended course of action from this forum.

But, other than blind reviewing my PT and reviewing the core curriculum, what should I be doing to improve LR and RC? Just drill timed sections? Or should I be focusing on question type? I've done all of the problem sets on the CC.

Those of you who are done with the CC, what do you guys do on days where you want to study but don't have time for a full PT?

Like many of you, I got my LSAT score back yesterday. I got a 160, which I was pleasantly surprised to get as I had bombed LG (my first section) and even though I felt confident about my other sections, I really thought LG would bring me down. Now that I’ve gotten my score back, I so wish I had performed to my normal capabilities on LG as I know that my score would’ve been that much better and we all know every point counts. What’s your “what if?” moment? Also, congratulations to those who achieved the score they wanted and for those who didn’t, keep at it (I know I’ll continue studying as well!)

Like many others I’m feeling sad about my LSAT score and I’d love to get others’ perspective on a (second) retake. I got a 169, which is a few points lower than my PT average. My goal was a 170 so I’m bummed that I came so close but missed the mark. I’m really conflicted about whether or not I should retake- I would only be able to retake in November- I’m working like crazy until June, then going on vacation for a couple weeks in July/August so a June or September exam isn’t realistic. I’m not sure if studying for two and a half months (Aug- October) after a a lengthy break will do much to improve my score, and if it’s worth the time and effort. According to LSAC’s calculator I’ve got about a 50% chance at my target schools. Should I try to be happy with my score, knowing I didn’t reach my full potential, or should I suck it up and study for November?

Managed to hit 171 on this most recent test - I had plateaued at 167, and I could not have made the leap without you all! Thanks so much and keep up the good work!

Hello, I am a Science undergrad.

I have been inspired and changed my career path in law after I graduated from BSc.

I started looking at LSAT starting Oct 2017, was working full-time, spent 3-4 hrs every weekday and did PT every other Saturday but not entire set-up to mimic the actual one. I wrote the December LSAT and got 148. I was very tight on time and ended up guessing 4-5 Qs each sections.

I quit my job and devoted a month of January to write February LSAT - was spending 7-10hrs on weekday and did few PT to see my progress. I got my mark back and I got 156 this time around.

I am aiming for 165+, hopefully 168.

I have been studying by myself for those 2 previous LSATs.

I am seeking advice if 168 is a possibility and if 7sage would help with my journey.

Thanks in advance.

Any honest opinions are welcome too.

So I’m currently in the drilling stages of my LSAT prep. I found that I’m pretty good at answering questions and gaining an understanding of what I’m supposed to be looking for. However, I’m not sure of the best way to increase my speed. Once I start time myself, things get bad. Any tips on increasing speed?

So I have been waitlisted to a school I really want to go to. Now I read that if you that school is your first choice then tell them that if you get accepted you will attend. I plan on doing this, but I'm not sure how this is suppose to be written in a letter format lol. I have gotten used to logical reasoning diagramming and it has taken over haha. Also when would it be appropriate to send one of these letters to them.

Hi Everyone,

I still didn't do well on my Feb 2018 LSAT, but I am not giving up, so I decided to wreck the foundation and start all over again.

I have taken the LSAT three times already, and here are the stats:

September 2017: 142

December 2017: 150

February 2018: 146

Sectional scores, lets said they are all under 15.

I admit, due to work, family matters, and all other...excuses, I am not fully engaged in my study, which created these devastating results. As Adam Hawks once said in my other post, "Because law school is still a meat grinder and will chew you up and spit you out a different person, please understand what the LSAT represents and how it will apply to you in your studies." Now I understand what he means.

Back to the subject, I am working full time Monday to Friday, and I have family obligations, so the maximum study time for me is 20 hours per week. My target score is between160 to 165.

Therefore, should I still aim for the June 2018 LSAT? Or I should aim for a later test day like September 2018?

Thank you!

Hi all,

I have two related questions.

First, I just got my LSAT score last night and finally broke the 99th percentile! Third time's a charm, so RETAKE and trust the 7Sage method because it works. Anyway, I haven't heard from a few schools yet, though I haven't had them hold my application. Is it weird to email these schools to let them know that a new score is coming, or should I just let LSAC send the score and wait it out? I have not submitted LOCI to these schools (they're T6, so I'm at no risk of being yield protected).

Second, one of my top choices has already admitted me and offered me a scholarship. In the award letter, they note that they're done with scholarship evaluation for me…but now I'm a more appealing candidate (score went up a few points). Do you think I should start pushing here, or should I wait until later in March? I love this school but it's still too expensive

Hey all,

I was just invited to do a Skype interview with University of Chicago.

For those of you who have done UChicago's interview:

Any other broad advice for Skype interviews or regarding UChicago Admissions more broadly would be helpful.

Best,

Paul

Now that I've seen the improvement that I've made from the first test to the second test, I'm serioulsy considering taking it again to exhaust all the lsat opportunites I have before I apply. I'm happy with the improvement, but I'm about 5 points away from my goal score.

Hey I already took 3 official tests but they all came back less than satisfactory. I’m planning on taking the June and Sept one this year. That’ll be 5 tests in my file, is that too many? Is there a point where schools will say “no that’s too much”?

As with many of you, I eagerly awaited the results of the February 2018 test. I found out this morning that I absolutely BOMBED the test. I scored a 139, which is a full 10 points lower than my average practice test scores and I've never scored lower than a 144.

Obviously I'm heartbroken and upset, but should I take this defeat and study harder next time or take the risk and have my test rescored by hand? I see that it's $100 to have it rescored, which isn't exactly cheap.

*disclaimer: I had to move homes during the heaviest part of my studying, so perhaps that stress was a factor in my poor score..

Hey all - just took the Feb '18 test and got my score, it was my first time. Congrats to everyone else to completed it as well! I'm going to take it again, but I'm not sure when - wondering if I could get some input here.

I took an online Manhattan Prep course (Sundays) from Oct 15 to Jan 7, and I don't think it was rigorous enough. I want to take a 7sage course before my next test - but I can't do more than ~20 hours a week because I work full time at a start up. Deciding between the Premium & Ultimate courses - would love people to weigh in.

I am looking at either the July 23 or Sept 8 test dates this year for my retake. Is July too soon to increase by ~9 points and complete a 7sage course?

Thanks in advance all! This site rocks.

Hey everyone!

So I'm brand new to 7Sage. I woke up this morning to the dooming email from LSAC informing me that I scored a... wait for it... 144 on my February LSAT (looks up how to become LSAT tutor). I saw my score at 5:20am and signed up for 7Sage at 10:15am. I spent some time as an African American History Grad student and decided to go to law school in December so I only had three months of study time. Further, I'm have a full-job, wife, and 5 months old so three months was actually probably only one. I'm weirdly not upset because, while my score sucks, I know that my score can improve greatly as I contribute more time to studying. I am aiming for the September and December LSATs so there is time.

So for everyone who is here after their soul was sucked out by the Feb LSAT, let's party,
