I have been having doubts because I GPA and LSAT score are hugely correlated. I am having doubts about whether I will be able to push my LSAT score past where it is now (162) and I want to know what other people's thoughts are. In particular, splitters, I want to know how your experience was studying for the LSAT and getting a 170+ score. I want to get there by June. How realistic is that? Should I just take what I get in June.

Hey all!

The law schools applications have a section on education. I put in the high school and college info..but do I need to include my rankings and gpa for high school? I haven't been putting that in for some apps I've submitted b/c I honestly don't remember..I was my high school's salutatorian but beyond that I don't remember my gpa or anything.

Hey everyone,

Earlier today I received an email from UT Austin requesting a video interview. In terms of likelihood of admission, is anyone familiar with the implications of a school offering an interview? My LSAT is slightly above their 75th percentile and GPA is right at the 50th. Apart from that I'd say avg softs. Thanks!

Shout out to @ryansoscia for the heads up!

Probably, and most definitely may be just me on here, or in general who is not worried about this score. If anyone else is not as freaked out or anxious as I am, we're not alone? This LSAT for me was the 'testing of waters', studying with 7Sage for the past 6 months allowed for me to get the question stems, and the main "guts" of the LSAT. By this statement I mean that I took this test willingly knowing my score may come out as worst as possible, however I came out of the exam KNOWING the main criteria... what the LR questions were, how to approach them, how JY taught me to quickly determine what kind of stem they were using. Therefore, I successfully got my main worry/concern of whether or not I should really bother continuously study for the February LSAT or not. Due to my understanding the actual test itself, even after the PT's, nothing is close to the real thing, and sitting there in the room. 7Sage gave me the confidence to persist on for the next LSAT with more ease than ever imagined. Now I am going over each part of the test and units in the curriculum with a fine toothed comb, and will be even more relaxed and actually excited for my score to come in. As for the December 2017 test goes, I had about 7-10 minutes left each section, which is great because that's how I knew JY took these tests, circling the ones we are not completely sure on, realizing when spending too much time on a question means MOVE ON, and finally... being able to go over those questions for even more than just twice.

I was confident with the time, that was a big worry; checked off the box.

I was nervous about not answering each questions/stalling and in a time-sink; that too was checked off the box.

I was fine with knowing what the question stems were; BIGGEST check off the box.

Finally, I was okay with whatever score is coming my way that "my real" test was in February. That will be my time to freak.

I may be the only one to feel these things, and to understand how it may look on my apps but mostly, it is better to be realistic and know when it is indeed your time to thrive on this damn test.

Good luck to those from this (Dec) test, and for those with a little more of a ways to go...

Just wanted to share this because it makes me laugh and think about how we can feel when we read LSAT question sometimes. I hope it puts a smile on your face too.

I've heard form multiple sources that reccommend that I only buy books that use real LSAT questions (unlike Kaplan, Barro's, etc)

I have over a year to study for the LSAT, and am fairly new to the thought process of the LSAT. I'm also a broke college student, so I'd prefer not to buy test prep books right away.

My plan is to get myself familiar with information/examples from free resources (online, library, etc) and then eventually buy the books with real LSAT questions. I've been cycling around libraries in my area and most of them seem to have recent copies of test prep books without real LSAT questions, so I figured I'd start there. (Also, some of the libraries have books with real LSAT questions... my wallet thanks me)

Would you suggest using test prep books with made up LSAT questions/no real LSAT questions to start as an introduction to the types of questions/sections? Or is it a big no-no?

Additionally, I was looking at targeted books for improving certain sections. Not so much LSAT use, but in general-- for example, my library has a lot of books that seem to be more education based, like "Reading Comprehension for College Students." I figured I'd also look at those for potential strategies to combat the Reading Comprehension section.

Hey guys so im not sure if I am suppose to put a title on my personal statement, need some help here.

I am on the starter pack which expires after I take the February LSAT. Extending it for six months is 74.99 which would end Aug 15 or so for me. Then I looked at upgrading but that only seemed to extend my access one month from when the original access expires on Feb 15? Please explain how the options work.

Financially I cannot right now, but if I upgrade from Starter in, say, March, to the Ultimate, and I purchased Starter the first week of December, will that extend me 3 months to June?

I have two pending publications. I've spent over two years of research to complete them. I would really like to include them on my resume, but don't know if that's appropriate, or how to include them. Please help!

So I'm taking my first LSAT in February, and I do work a full time job but plan on taking the Friday before the lsat off in order to have one last day of study. Now I usually study 3-4 hours Mon-Thurs and 12-16hrs on the weekend. But I want to get some advice on what I should be doing the day before the lsat. I was thinking about practice tests but I don't want to be burnt out either. So what should I study or do in order to give me a better chance for the lsat the next day.

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to 7sage, but I've been reading a lot of the discussion posts and they are so incredibly helpful, so thank you for that!! I just took the December LSAT, and I had also signed for the February LSAT--- just in case things didn't go well. For those who are waiting for their scores and potentially planning on taking the test in February, how are you all studying? I admit I haven't been devoting the same number of hours studying as I was during the months leading up to December 2nd. I think it's partially due to the fact that I am waiting in anticipation for my scores, but I'm also trying to balance working on the soft factors of my law school applications as well. If any of you have any insight or experience with studying while waiting for your scores, I would greatly appreciate them! :)

I just made the mistake of looking at past grey day threads. Now I feel the anxiety. How do you guys deal with waiting? Any grey day drinking games? Take a shot every time you read "grey."

Im working my way through PTing the 60s. My question is whether or not the 70s LR is much different from the 60s LR? Just curious.

I want to apply now, but I don’t have my December scores yet. Do I have to call each school individually and tell them to hold off until my December scores are available? And do they automatically get the scores once LSAC releases them ?

Hi! I was waitlisted by my first choice school:/I applied early decision, Ive already toured the campus, sat in a class and met with the Dean of Students so Im not sure as to what more I can do besides sending in a LOCI, does anyone have any advice or tips on being waitlisted? TYA!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have the link to the 7sage tutor and their prices. I need one for logic games. Also someone that’s doesn’t cost a lot .

Over the next couple of months, I'll be hosting weekly sessions to focus on the LSAT's bag of tricks. These tricks are mostly nonlogical elements of the LSAT that often abstract the question in ways such that we frequently understand the logic and yet miss the question anyway. It's a big bag, but its contents are finite. Once you learn to recognize the tricks and what to do when you see them, you will improve your accuracy, improve your time, and improve your score.

This week: Abstract Concepts

Future tricks will include:

Referential Phrasing

The Switcheroo

Nonsense ACs

Supersets/Sets/Subsets

Comparative Language

SA Questions with no Gaps

Exploiting obvious pre-phrases

In order to preserve fresh tests, I will try to restrict the content to earlier tests as much as possible.

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to decide whether to take the February 2018 LSAT or the June 2018 LSAT. Starting my studies, I knew I wanted to get at least a 173. So, when I started studying in June of 2017 and got a 153, I was a little worried. However, I took a course and finished with a 165 in September of 2017. I had to take basically a semester off from studying, and have just been able to get back into it since school ended for winter break. My strategy now is to take around 3 tests a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). I've been able to take four tests so far, and I've gotten a 166, 167, 170, and 174 in that order. Since I have improved a lot in a short period, I was thinking that it would be okay to take the February LSAT so long as I continue to consistently score in 170s, preferably above 172. My only concern is that I improved by 9 points basically in a week and a half, and I guess it hasn't soaked in yet that I'm in my desired range. It would make me feel a lot better if I consistently scored in my target range for a long time. However, it would be really nice to get the LSAT out of the way, and I am worried that I will run out of practice tests to take between now and June.

What do you think?

I’m going to study full time for 2 months up until feb. which plan should I get? Is the basic sufficient? Thanks!

Hey all,

I got an e-mail from Georgetown requesting a 1-on-1 interview with an alumni. First, is this a good sign? Does it mean I'm being strongly considered or that I'm a "marginal" candidate?

Second, for those of you that have done a Georgetown interview, what should I expect? What questions should I expect them to ask? And how should I prepare?

Thanks,

Paul

Does anyone know if LSAC is still offering the refund for February if you signed up for December/feb together like they offered? Thanks!

Hi all!

I was wondering if anybody had any sort of comprehensive CC review that they wouldn't mind sharing with me? Long story short all of my study materials were ruined in a car accident :(

Anything would be greatly appreciated!

Happy Studying!

Hi everyone!

I started studying over the summer using the LSAT Trainer. While it was helpful to understand some concepts, I'm not even close to where I want to be scoring, which is 170+ for the June test. I'm especially weak on Logic Games. I'm on winter break until the end of January and I wanted to try 7Sage. How long does it take to complete the Starter or Premium course?
