If I took my first LSAT in June 2015 and decided to take it twice after, when is the next test date after the 2-year period that I could take it? Is it June 2017 or October 2017?

Hi everyone:)

I probably wouldn't be comfortable posting this in any other forum but....everyone in here has been so kind to me thus far so, I figure I can be a little annoying haha!! In my previous post I mentioned that i'm not done my UG but I suspect my GPA should be about 3.8-3.85. I'm not exactly a natural at the LSAT however (137 diagnostic lol). I find myself being someone who tends to easily get frustrated with intellectual work sometimes. I always give it my all nonetheless and I like to think I do good work, but because studying for the LSAT will presumably be frustration beyond frustration (at times anyways), does anyone have any advice on how to manage the frustration and discouragement that I assume comes with months of studying for something and only seeing gradual improvement haha?

Thanks everyone!

My booklet just came in today! Looks like it has a very tough curve. Anyone take it as a PT yet? If so, how did it go?

Hi,

I am writing in December and my goal is to get 167/8. For people who got 167/8 on the test day, what was your average score like? :)

Took the the test 3 times. twice when I wasn't ready and the 3rd time I didn't break 170.

Those of you reading this don't take until you are ready or else you will end up like me.

Anyways is there any material about advice tips etc. I know the basic stuff (3 times 2 year period etc.) so yeah any help of information would be great! thanks fam.

obligatory Harambe pic because why not.

I assume there are thousands of law school students, and lawyers who have been caught doing some silly stuff in college. I got an underage drinking ticket when I was 20, and that is the only stain on my record. From the best of my recollection, it is not on my record. Should I still admit to this in my application? Will it impact my chances if I do?

I am writing this post because I wished someone told it to me one year ago. This post is to all those 7Sagers who are considering to sign up for the course but they are not sure 7Sage worth it or not. I want to say do not hesitate, your time is the most precious asset you have in your LSAT prep and it is limited. 7Sage explains fundamentals concepts in a very understandable and simple way and do not try to make concepts more complicated than they are. I try to explain it using my personal experience.

I was watching an LG game explanation for the second time, going through the game after 11 months and it hit me why 7Sage is superior to many of other courses out there when J.Y explained not both rule in less than a minute. I remember more than one year ago when for the first time I encounter the concept of not both rule in one of Kaplan LSAT preparation books. Kaplan explanation was correct but it was so long and confusing that the one concept itself convinced me to sign up for their in person course. Fortunately for me they did not have any in-person course in my city which forced me to search for online course that lead me to compare them with 7Sage and give 7Sage a shot .

Some of the courses out their try make concepts complicated in their self study books with the primary goal of sign you up for their over priced in person courses, give 7Sage a shot before signing up for that overpriced in person course.

Please understand this is my personal opinion as someone who started below 150s and improved my prep score more than 16 points in a year thanks to 7Sage and its helpful community.

Hi guys, you have all been so helpful thus far. I am only a senior in college and have realized thanks to these forums and the Thinking LSAT podcast that I should not rush into law school. I am not completely sure that law is for me, and have realized that law school will always be there. I am currently looking for jobs and was wondering how you go about finding a job as a legal assistant/intern? My bachelors degree will be in Finance. I would ideally like to work in Boston. I have heard time and time again that this is a good way to figure out if law is for you. Would you all agree?

Please feel free to be completely honest with me, what advice would you give your 21 year old self?

Is there a reason why there is no set length requirements in applications this year?

Generally speaking, it should be 500 words, correct?

Also, is double space a bad idea?

Dear All,

I need some advice. I currently work in Big Law and I am struggling to find the time to study for this test. I am taking the February LSAT and would still like to go to school for the Fall of 2017. With that being said, I have rescheduled my exam twice due to my workload. Any advice on how one manages their time efficiently would be greatly appreciated. I really would like to go to Georgetown Law and know that I have a long shot for this admission cycle since most, if not all of the spots, will be already offered. Also, I am struggling with time when taking practice tests. I tend to freeze when I go and do timed sections. Any thoughts on how to handle time for studying and how to practice doing better while timing yourself will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Where does the definition of pen stop and the definition of a highlighter begin?

Are Pape Mate Flair pens considered pens if they are felt tipped, neon colors? Are Crayola thin markers pens or highlighters?

What's the smallest a highlighter tip can be and still be defined as an LSAT-legal highlighter?

I'm preparing to take the test in February, and I have the LSAC book that contains PTs 52-61. I have taken 52, 53, and 54, and I'm scoring very well. Is there a substantial difference between the PTs I've been taking and the most recent PTs? I'm trying to figure out if I should buy more of the recent PTs to take in preparation for the exam.

Hi all,

I had just finished the first "chapter" or LR, which goes all the way from MP to PSA and now into RC.

In previous posts, I had read that many had recommended to do a mini PT through out the way for LR when you are actually studying for RC.

But before just dive into books of problems, I had read also that I should not waste problems.

So! How do you have mini effective PTs on RC?

@twssmith?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Panda

Would be very difficult to meet recommender in person so I was wondering how I would go about asking for a LOR via email. Should I suggest anything for the recommender to write about?

Hey 7Sagers, I want to try something different for PT 79 (September 2016 LSAT). Instead of making videos, I will lead BR sessions.

(Videos will be made but won't be available until after the December LSAT!)

This is aimed squarely at students who are taking the December LSAT and are taking PT 79 as their final PT.

There will be 9 sessions total, 3 for each of LR 1, LR 2, and RC. Each session will focus on only one section of PT 79. All sessions will start at 7:30p EST and end at 10:30p. Multiple sessions are meant to accomodate people's various schedules and to reduce class size per session.

Next Session

All done!

Hey guys, first time poster here. I've been studying on and off for about 8 months. I've delayed taking the LSAT twice (never signed up) because I didn't feel like I was going to be ready. When I first started in February - May, I was only studying about once or twice a week, so not much. Then I was pretty good for 2 weeks and then immediately took 2 months off. I felt that the only way to kick my but into studying was to register. So I'm currently registered for December, but I am NO where close to where I want my score to be, so I am considering delaying it again, but keeping up the same studying intensity. I am not applying this cycle. I guess the only draw backs is the fact that this will have been the 3rd time I've delayed taking it and the Feb test is undisclosed.

opinions? Thanks!

when you start a section , full timed pt, or a set 20-30 question types, and you begun to answer the VERY FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD questions of that section, pt, or drill set, that your mind feels like it is jumping all over the place and scrambling, attention is lost, comprehension is poor, and you feel as if time is moving faster than it really is?

all of the above occurs with me and i usually get 2-3 of the first 5 questions wrong, especially in a timed individual LR section.

Anyone else experience this, any remedies?

TT

Well, this year's election was full of surprises. The biggest surprise for me was that my home state, Nevada, decided to legalize recreational marijuana. I found this to be very beneficial for me in my situation. No, not because I will be toking up on a daily basis (never really could get into that stuff), but because I have possession of paraphernalia charge on my record.

Prior to the election, I knew once it was time to apply I would have to explain this charge, in detail, for admission to any law school. It's really embarrassing to have on your record. Especially because the glass pipe I was caught with wasn't even mine (it was my friends, I was just letting him keep it in my car. I know, stupid decision. But hey, I was 18 at the time). With that, my question to the community is this: now that marijuana will be legal in my state, as of January 1st, what does that mean in terms of admissions? I can't help but feel vindicated by the outcome of this referenda, but I'm not sure how it will look in the eyes of admissions officers. Should I still disclose? If so, how do I explain this now (it seems kind of silly now that pot is legal, especially for such a minor offense)? I'm hoping that admissions will look at it and just laugh. It kind of reminds me of being charged with being a minor in possession of alcohol by consumption. Once your 21, the charge just looks silly (to me at least).

Anywho, what do y'all think? This is kind of one of those moral gray areas between law and ethics, and I'm having trouble seeing the right solution.

So I am ADHD but truthfully I have not been medicated in years, well since college. I am pretty positive I will have to go back on meds for law school... but anyway I digress... I am finding I am getting frustrated and bored during the sections and then I start rushing to finish and we all know how that can turn out. What are tips you have for that??? I am beginning to wonder if I should go back on medication to help study... but like most adhd folks I hate being on the meds because I feel zombified. How do you keep focused? Even if you are not ADHD I am willing to listen, because I am just drilling 35 minute sections right now... When I start taking tests at the first of the year... I really do not want to burn valuable tests... because of this. Anyway thoughts? and don't worry if you think I need to medicate I won't get offended because my mom and dad informed me I needed to get back on medication so I can nail the test anyway lol

PS miss chatting LSAT with you guys...

The Original 7 Sages showed us that sometimes, it takes a community of wisdom and experience to show us the way. So we are very happy to present:

OUR 50* Point Increase Story

Tuesday, November 15 at 8PM EST

Please join us for a very special evening with a panel discussion of high scorers

Josh Aldy @"Cant Get Right"

David Brown @"Accounts Playable"

Daniel Z. Nelson @danielznelson

and

Coco Zhang @CocoZhang

We will each be sharing our LSAT beginnings, our mistakes, our struggles, and most importantly of course, how we were each able to overcome our unique challenges. This test tends to appear to each individual with particular monstrosities. It's the same beast, but it is a complex one that will look a little different to each of us. The underlying thread is that we can all learn to master it. Our hope is that between the four of us, every participant will recognize a bit of themselves. If you can see yourself in our struggles, we hope you can see yourself in our ultimate successes. If we can do it, we believe you can too.

Q&A to follow the presentation, so bring questions!

Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

So i'm taking the December test with a goal of 164-165+ and I really feel as though I'm ready. I sometimes take PT's and make such silly errors though. For example, I usually get the easy questions correct but on my most recent PT, i missed a 1/5 star question for logical reasoning and a 2/5 star question. I know those ratings aren't fully accurate but it's just that i'll sometimes miss that very "easy" question but then get the harder ones correct. Does this happen to anyone? Because upon review, its so obvious what the right answer is but once in a while, ill just get an easy one or two wrong and it bothers me a lot haha because I just feel like I could've gotten a higher score had I not missed those "easy" ones.

In terms of difficulty and subject matter, how has it changed over time?

Does modern RC have more difficult passages and more noticeable characteristics?

I know people say questions become more subtle and longer, but wonder whether content changed.

I learned of the 7Sage blind review method months before I started using it (from exploring the website). Boy, do I wish I had started using it earlier.

Here's the rundown: Yes, it absolutely *does* take longer to go through. I often take up to 5-8 hours to fully blind review my PTs and then review them with the correct answers. But this process forces you to confront your mistakes and misunderstandings and allows you to get to the root of what you don't understand. It sounds weird and you may not believe it, but I really do feel like I understand the material better thanks to this method, even if my scores aren't always immediately reflecting it. What's more, I finally feel like studying for the LSAT is enjoyable again. The problems and games feel a little less daunting now that the blind review method has taught me to be more patient with myself and to delve deeper.

I hope this helps, for those of you who are new to the process or to 7Sage!

Is PT C2 considered as representative of modern LSATs as the exams in the 70s are?
