Please check. It seems that such application errors are prevalent after the version updates to the iOS 10.

My cumulative GPA is blank - my degree summary GPA is 4.0 - any idea why that is?

Hey guys! Hope studying is going well! Recently, since starting 7sage a month ago, I've been making pretty solid progress in terms of going through the curriculum. I aiming for 15-20 hours a week. However, I'm also in school full time, and I have an internship so I've found myself burning out, but not so much because of the studying, but because everything else has been piling up. My study time has decreased a lot. Also, I have fall allergies and I live in the NYC area so it has started to get cold. This has affected my energy levels, and on top of everything else, I find myself fatigued and unable to focus which also lowers my productivity effectiveness while studying. I'm not good when it comes to time management and routines and it's hard for me to stick to them. Any help or tips on how you guys do it? Very interested in your suggestions! Thanks!

Hello friends. I am eyeballs deep in 1L. I just wanted to pop in and say that:

1) Law school is insane but insanely beautiful

2) Enjoy your life before law school (see #1)

Law school is all consuming but I often think of you all with the warmest of feelings. This is helpful as an alternative heat source as it is getting cold in Chicago.

Hi.

Just joined the 7Sage.

I am from India. Currently in my second year of undergraduate studies. Would it be a wise option to pursue law in the US after my undergraduate?

Any help regarding this would be appreciated.

Dumb question....I know, but it eases my anxiety :D Will 7sage still be around in 3 years when I need to study for the LSAT??? This forum is so awesome and everyone says the prep course is so amazing so I just reallllllllly want to be able to use it when I study:)

Hello Sages,

I just joined the community quite recently and this is my first post. That being said, I had been PTing using the practice tests from the 40s to the 70s, with just a few more new ones available and with some of them done more than once. I found I have been very inconsistent in the scores I get. I can get low 170s and on the next one go down to low 160s, and when I get low 160s I often bomb different sections, sometimes RC and sometimes LG. Anyone had similar situations? What would be a good way to become more consistent. I registered for the December test, and I'm planning to apply next year. What should I do before the test at this stage. Any advice from you Sages would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

My undergrad institution has a co-op program that most undergrads take part in. Starting in sophomore year you have the option to alternate between 6 months of full-time work and then a regular academic semester. So my undergrad career was 5 years, and for 3 of those years I was on co-op January-July then class as normal from Sept.-December.

These gaps are shown on my transcript and reflected on my resume. Will admissions understand this plainly? Or should I write an addendum explaining

My personal statement is 3.5 pages long. Is that too long?

How early is too early to get a REC letter. I got one assuming I would be applying early but I am retaking the the LSAT in February. I have a REC on file from late October. Should I get the Professor to resubmit so the time stamp is sooner or keep and use the ones on file. This is all assuming I apply for the Fall 2017 class. Obviously if I delay 1 year I will ask for resubmissions. On that note do new REC letters have to be different in anyway from ones that are on file.....as in can school see the old ones that I have on file with LSAC. Was just going to ask the teachers to resubmit the old ones they previously wrote to save time on both ends.

Admin edit: Please don't post in all caps on your title. I'm sensitive and don't like being yelled at. :c

I'm usually around -6 or -8 for timed sections. Just got a -10 and am beginning to get frustrated because i feel like I understand games pretty well, but then do terrible on the clock. I also basically never ever experience test anxiety (when studying or on test day) - so "pressure" doesn't seem, to me, to be the issue.

anyone else have similar experience? or would anyone have some advice?

thanks

Proctors:

Awful. I had 4 proctors (although I think one was a son of another proctor and not a proctor himself). We sat around for at least 30 minutes before we started filling out the Scantron. The main proctor who was reading the directions was rushing us because we were clearly behind schedule. Then they gave us the wrong Test Center number and we had to wait until the figure out what the correct number is. Then the three other proctors were talking over the timekeeper as she was reading the last timing instructions (you will have 35 mins to complete the section, etc, etc). And then they would not shut up for 2 sections. (I left after section 2 because I lost my focus and bombed RC). They also kept walking around the front of the room and in and out of the room while the test was in progress. It was extremely distracting. I raised my hand to ask them to be quiet and they ignored me for several minutes after which point I gave up. It literally sounds crazy to retell this story (on what planet do test proctors talk for over an hour??), but I assure you that this is real life. They seemed to be disorganized and confused.

Facilities:

Old, shabby, public university. No distractions other than the proctors. No noise outside or in the hallway. Th bathroom seems to be close enough to the room, but i did not need to use it. They have vending machines in case you forget a snack.

What kind of room: Classroom with individual fold-over desks

How many in the room: I'd say around 40. Way too many for the size of the room. Although there were enough desks, we were packed too tight together. I could easily see the papers of the people in front and to the sides of me. it was also distracting to be seated so close to other people.

Desks:

Awful. They had these tiny fold-over school desks that are not big enough to fit an open test booklet. No room for scantron, extra pencils, eraser, ,watch etc. I had to hold my eraser and extra pencils in my lap. I kept worrying about my scantron falling from under my booklet.

Left-handed accommodation: Some lefty desks were available

Noise levels: Other than the proctors, I didn't experience any other distractions

Parking: Not sure, didn't drive

Time elapsed from arrival to test:

1-1.5 hours. We stood in line for about 20 minutes. But the check-in was excruciatingly slow. I would say at least 30 minutes just to check in and seat my room. Then we sat in the room for a while while they figured out the test center number, distributed the booklets, etc.

Irregularities or mishaps: none, other than the proctors talking and not knowing the correct test center number.

Other comments: Avoid this test center at all costs. All the warning signs were there, but I didn't bother to read the reviews.

Would you take the test here again? Absolutely not.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: September 2016

For NA questions, some of the answers are SA and NA together. I'm having trouble with this because there are other "trap" choices that I choose that wreck the argument and look correct. I can identify the SA answer, but i think it is wrong because it is too strong.

My question is: If there is a SA answer choice for an NA question, is it right every time? How can I tell when they're looking for both when it is not indicated in the question stem?

Were your PT scores representative of your test score?

How was it different from PT 78?

I heard virus game and a couple of passage were difficult...But what about other games?

I watched the explanation video but I felt other games in the test seem relatively more difficult than previous tests too, isn't it?

It seems there are more inference because the videos are longer. (average 15 min)

What about LR section?

Thanks!

Hi all,

So I've been consistently fluctuating between 162-165. I would prefer a solid 167 or higher; can somebody tell me what the chances are that I could potentially get to a solid 167 before the December test, what can i do to improve? I notice my reading comprehension section is what brings me down. help?

Mine will be to get my M.A. in Economics and go down that path. Being from the Detroit area, I have some big 3 connections and I've had internships with GM and Lotus. My long time mentor ran Hummer for GM , between 1999-2004 and he's always said that there's a senior forecasting job with my name on it. Hedge fund managing would be fun as well.

I would like to buy the test and go over some of the harder questions. I saw that 7sage has posted video explanations for the LG. Has the test been released?

Hi everyone,

I am wondering whether taking the LSAT a third time is going to be helpful. I took the September LSAT and I am 3-4 points away from my ideal score. The thing is, I used up almost all of the preptests (or if not all, definitely all the new ones). I am set on applying for this cycle and can only write in December.

How would I go about studying/practicing for December in the little time left and without any really fresh PT's?

Hey guys,

So I have the Cambridge packets for LR and I was just wondering what is a "proper" method for drilling weaknesses?

I think I saw somewhere it says we cannot circle answer choices on the test...

I thought we can write anything on the test, take notes, underline etc.

But we cannot circle the answers? Is this true?

Especially with the difficult RC passage about lacquer art in the September, I was wondering if there were any publications I could read to be comfortable with art related RC passages.

If I end up getting a terrible score on LSAT, would good LOR help me to get me into a good school? :(

Or it would not make that much difference? (even if I get really good ones or just good ones or fine ones...)

Would LSAT and GPA just determine where I can go?

Hi,

When I think I arrived at the correct answer choice I tend to choose it and move on...

Or just reading the first part of the answer choice and stop when I found some words are not right.

Because otherwise I will not have enough time to finish all passages...:(

Is this a bad strategy?

If I submit my apps right now and pay the $30 school report fee for each school, would I have to pay this fee again for every school to update my transcript later on in the cycle? I really hope it's automatic...$$$$$$
