I just found out that one of my schools wanted an app. "submitted and deemed complete" by tomorrow. I'm going to have everything submitted on my end today but I think two of my rec. letters will come in tomorrow. Should I be worried?

Hit me up if you live in Philadelphia and want it!

Anyone notice a difference in difficulty between PT 70 and PT 71? I scored 6 points higher on PT 70 than 71. I know no test is objectively harder then than the other but man 71 kicked my ass.

For those with families and jobs, when do you take the practice tests? I'm finding it hard to find time to take the full test without interruption. I'm planning on taking the February '18 test, and I have yet to take a full test.

Started by taking notes in a notebook. Title each section of my notes with the name of that stop on the course. But it is starting to feel tedious/think there is a better way of doing this.

For those of you PTing at 165+, how many PTs are you planning on taking before your first (or only) exam? I have Ultimate+, so I believe I have access to 82 old exams. That seems like a crazy amount to do, but I will totally do it if that will be significantly more helpful than 50-60ish.

Howdy folks,

Anyone studying for the December test?

These forums can be encouraging but at the same time disheartening. Supposedly only 2% of people score a 170+ but it seems like everyone on here is angry if they don't get a 174. There's stories on here of people score a 170 on their first exam... I've been studying almost full time for a little over a month, and managed to get my first 163 two weeks ago, and scored 2 more since, but haven't been able to improve AT ALL since. I changed from old tests to new tests (prep test 69 just finished) in preparation for December, but I'm not sure if I'm going to take it. I was getting ROCKED in the old lsat (early/mid 1990's) logic games, so I worked really hard on those and now I only get -4 to -6 wrong on those, but now my logic reasoning has dropped from a -3/-5 to about a -6ish. Does this seem to be the trend on the newer tests v.s. the older ones?

I have until November 18th I guess to decide if I'm going to write or wait until February. I've applied to Western and University of Toronto here up north, and then I will apply to UBC as well. I know I need a 165 at LEAST even for just Western and UBC, especially since my undergrad GPA was only a 3.48. I never thought I would apply for postgraduate school. If I can't get a 170, U of T is out of the question, and it might be anyways even if I got a 180.

Anyways, what do you guys think, is 2.5 weeks going to get me to a 170? hahah I doubt it. If I apply in February, I probably need to score even higher since it's a rolling admission and that's close to the end. Anyone have thoughts? Advice? I'm feeling drained.

Over my last 5 tests I have averaged a 156.6. With my high being a 160. My goal is a 167. I took the LSAT in September with a 155 and I've signed up for the December LSAT. I feel like I have been putting in a lot of hours, and without seeing the returns I feel like I should be getting. I am a splitter (hopefully). I have a GPA of 3.25. My letters of recommendation are pretty strong. I've done all the CC. Should I take the February LSAT instead? Should I sign up for an in person class? It feels like I am at the edge of breaking my score and getting where I want to be, but I've also felt like that since before the September LSAT. My huge worry is that I have not been studying for the LSAT in the most efficient way possible.

Sorry if this has been asked before or just sounds silly, but are there benefits to blind reviewing RC?

For the online answer sheet, are we supposed to enter our final score with blind review or before? I cant find an option to input both

7Sagers,

On Monday, November 13, at 9 p.m. ET, three 7Sage editors and I will host an admissions webinar. We’ll start with a round of Just One Thing, in which we each offer you a single piece of advice for the application season.

After that, we’ll do live lightning consultations. We’ll call on you one at a time and try to be as helpful as possible in five minutes or less. We can brainstorm personal statement topics, strategize about addenda, discuss LORs, or answer general admissions questions.

:cookie: After the webinar, we’ll give one attendee a free critique of a personal statement or résumé.

:warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

We hope to see you there!

I'm just curious how long it took others for their blind review scores and actual scores to match. Thanks!

For those who have done many PTs: did your anxiousness and focusing more on time than the actual test get better as you did more tests?

I would assume that when one first starts PTing, he or she will likely be so eager to rush through the test by keeping time in their head while sacrificing accuracy? What are your thoughts?

7Sage Fam -

What was the score of your first preptest after finishing the core curr.? Looking not to boast or brag, but rather to gauge my progress and hopefully motivate all of us. Further, how much have you improved since that preptest (PT 36)?

My diagnostic was a 152, and I just scored 168 on PT36. Looking to be consistently around 175. Any tips are welcome!

Thanks all

Hi, what do people normally do the day of the test? Does anyone do a few questions or should I avoid looking at practice material? Thanks :)

Hello everyone,

I am taking the December LSAT at a nonpublished center in Luxembourg. This is all due because of the hurricane in Florida and me moving to Luxembourg shortly after the September test was cancelled. I contacted the LSAC and they graciously helped me sort everything out. I'm nervous because I do not know what to expect from a nonpublished center. Has anyone ever taken the exam at a nonpublished center? Will I be the only student in the room? I'm just worried about all the things that could go wrong. Anything that can be in my advantage?

Thanks guys!

Do you guys have suggestions for how to take a video of a practice section/PT on the Samsung Galaxy S6? I've been using the default Camera app and I almost always have problems with the video cutting out after 1-5 minutes or with the quality of the video which is sub-par.

Quick study break thought... I wonder ... should I ever get the chance to meet JY in person, maybe something like a 7Sage Ashram retreat (which probably operates more like a happy hour), if JY would speak to us at 1.2x. I find 1.44x quite unnatural, but also I'm quite impatient at 1.0x speed for the wisdom as well.

I can't focus at all by the time I get to section 3.

Hi!

I am having trouble seeing the value in blind review because every time I honestly do it, I never change any of my answers. A few facts about my situation: I have 100% more time and find myself finishing the sections with time to review (this may not be true on test day because of the nature of my accommodated disability), I am scoring average 172, missing an average of 4 questions in the LR, and I've increased my score from 134.

When I blind review, I go through the answers I have circled and make sure I am positive they are correct. I maybe change an answer 1/100 times. My question is: if I'm not getting anything out of it, is it worth the time to blind review? It is actually causing me stress because I'm not getting any value on something that most test prep companies advertise as the holy-grail.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Is this common for 170+ scorers?

Hi guys, so I'm taking the December exam and currently I've been scoring between 165-169. My scores don't drop from that range, but aren't as consistent as I'd like. I'll be getting a 167 3x and then a 165 all of a sudden.

Any tips on how to get more consistent on my scoring? I'd love to be constantly getting a 168/169 prior to the exam.

Hi everyone. I am planning to take the LSAT on December 2nd, but am scoring in the high 150s. My goal is 170, but I understand that is difficult given the time crunch. What should I do? I have been studying fundamentals for around 3 months, but I am seeing little improvement and I am starting to freak out. Should I keep studying and hope to get a 160, should I postpone it to June and start everything over, or should I just give up on law school and start studying for the GRE (I know that's very dramatic). My anxiety is through the roof. This test is so difficult and I just want it to be over with. What advice do you have?

Hi everyone!

I just purchased the LSAT Ultimate + Course and, although I am very excited and really willing to start, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed as the wealth of material to cover is quite vast. Do you have any suggestions as to where to start from and what to start with, please?

Any comments are really appreciated!

Thanks!

Just wondering, but can you go back after a section is done and fill in the bubble sheet (like if you leave the ones you didn't get to blank, and then when you have time say at the start of the next section to finish bubbling in the ones you are guessing on)?

Hi 7sage fam,

I am just finishing up the core-curriculum; my question is, what's next? How did you guys most productively spend your time after the CC? Was it PT after PT? There doesn't seem to be any explicit instructions following the completion of the course, so I'm looking for advice there. Thanks in advance! Good luck everyone!
