hey y'all, hope you're enjoying the holidays and not freaking out too much about this massive wait for the dec score! long story short: dec was my third take; i got mid-160s on my first and low 170s on my second. i'm increasingly worried that i'm going to score at or below my first score. if that happens, how much will it hurt my applications? i've found a lot of posts online about multiple takes when you improve, but not much about improve-then-drop, and i figure there's other people out there wondering about something similar. any insight is much appreciated!

I'm going to register for June and want to make sure I choose the best test center possible. If anyone knows of a quiet place with big desks and good proctors I'd really appreciate it.

I'm looking for a study buddy! Preferably over Skype but would be up to meeting up too if you live nearby (I'm in the midwest). I'm planning to take the June LSAT and am looking for a gradual study plan. Currently scoring 165 and don't mind working with people who are just starting out -- it would be good review for me too.

It list that it comes with a question bank? Is this real lsat questions that I can read then answer without buying the practice test? Also if I upgrade before my starter account expires can I get any cost break?

I'm behind in studying due to my mom passing away. My account is going to expire in 3 days. I really like the course thus far.

Thanks,

As the Feb deadline looms I am asking myself if I will be able to achieve my target score by Feb . I am in the high 60s now and aiming for low -mid 70s.. say a 5 point gain in a month ? Has it been done ? The only reason to register in Feb would be to get it done with. LSAT seems to have taken over my life . At the same time do not want to risk my score. The worry with June is that it is so far removed from Feb I risk losing momentum that I currently have. Thoughts ?

Hi everyone, One of the schools I am applying to has a scholarship deadline for today, but I've been waiting to receive my LSAT score back to submit my application. Since the scores should be out sometime between tonight - Jan 5th can I or should I go ahead and submit the application without an LSAT score yet?

"Hey, I hope you guys don’t mind me dropping in on this epic thread. I did so because I wanted to clarify the point above, so that everyone understood how it works. For June and October, LSAC typically gives us (test prep companies) a heads-up that scores will be released that day. They don’t do that for February, because that LSAT is not released to the public. In December, it depends on when the test is released. If it’s released during the LSAC break or on a holiday, no company gets prior notice (because there’s no admins there). So, if scores are released any time in the next four days, no one will know until the indicators go gray. I know that’s confusing, but that’s just how they do it. If it was up to me, I’d release your scores right now!

Anyway, I just thought that was worth knowing. Thanks!"

Admin edit: No titles in all caps please :)

For personal statements, or through other application requirements, to what extent should you address the type of practice you intend to pursue? What degree do adcoms expect an applicant to know what they want to do? Is it enough to express general interest in certain areas without a clear idea of where you want to end up? Is this even expected to be expressed in any part of the application at all or is it typically the case that applicants aren't fixated on a type of practice?

Hey 7Sage Community,

I used to be super active on 7Sage until I mid-life crisised pretty hard and decided to get a master's degree before law school. I'm getting back into the LSAT game and would love to be an active mentor again so don't hesitate to contact me! I bumped my LSAT date to December, 2016 so I'll be around these waters for a long time coming.

Happy New Year!

Can't remember where I saw a picture of a PT with tape as a binder but it made me wonder if there is an easy way to more mimic testing conditions with a bound test. On a positive note, having the PT on loose pages actually slows me down forcing me to move quicker thru the PT. Curious about ingenious ideas to take PTs beyond diapers strategies:)

wondering what people think about this issue? would it be better to attend a school ranked from 16-20 with full/near-full scholarship vs a school ranked from 10-14 but with no scholarship? I thought I wanted biglaw but now I'd like to keep my options open, especially after talking to people that work in biglaw. obviously t14 with substantial scholarship is the best option but i don't think that is likely.

@"J.Y. Ping" is hard at work updating and upgrading some of 7sage's video content. One of the best features of 7sage is that the course is constantly evolving. I'll be sharing some cool new features and examples of updated content over the next few weeks.

While we're all gearing up for February/June or waiting for Gray Day, let's enjoy this first installment—guess which game it is?

New video explanation (always free) for this game here:

And solved with sub-gameboards here:

Bonus: for those with paid accounts, this page includes an additional video with live commentary!

Ok folks, a lot of us around here are waiting on Gray Day results for the December test. This is, as always, and occasion for solidarity. What are you doing instead of driving yourself crazy??

As for me, I'm playing Fallout 4 (Oh, and ... finishing apps :) ) and trying to heal from my first Crossfit experience (#brutality).

Here's my F4 character (I think Paladin Danse is gonna make a move soon):

Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to print the practice exams? Or ways in which people navigated the process of obtaining and taking the practice exams. I would prefer not to have to take the exams with the silent videos. Thanks a lot!

On my resume I listed my current GPA which includes this most recent semester's grades. However, Lsac has not processed my updated transcript yet so the gpa listed there is like .02 lower than my gpa now. I plan to submit my applications as soon as the score comes in from dec test which I anticipate being sooner than they process my transcript. Will the ad comms recognize that my gpa on my resume is reflecting current term or will it come off as disingenuous if they don't have my new transcript yet?

Should the PS and the DS be clearly distinct, or is overlap ok? I want to hone in on my adverse experiences and how they have shaped me in my PS, but I am realizing this is also what I could use to craft a great DS. Should I use this info in a DS and go a different route in the PS? Any help would be appreciated.

Things are moving so quickly for me during the exam that I really have no idea how I'm doing while taking the exam. Many times I think I'm doing a lot worse than I really am and this destroys my confidence for the rest of the test. For example I took PT58 last week and thought I did really poorly on the first two sections, LR and RC. Turned out that I got a combined -6 between the two sections. On the last two sections, which were considered much easier according to the 7sage analytics, I went -8 resulting in a 167 score. And one of the sections was LG. During the break all I thought about were the first two sections and how I screwed up, and I think this thinking affected me for the rest of the test. After the test was done I honestly thought there was no way I scored a 160+. Let me add that I finish sections just in time and maybe that's my problem since there's no time for me took double check. So my question in short is what do you think I can do to remain mentally strong throughout the entire test? Any advice would be really helpful as this problem has been plaguing me on almost every test.

Also, it takes me an incredibly long time to BR because I circle so many damn questions, even ones from 1-10. It seems like I'm 100% sure on just a handful of questions each PT when taking the test timed. And that's what I hate about this test: no matter how much I study there's always that feeling of uncertainty during the test. I am always envious of those that only circle like 2-3 LR questions per section. Are those people really 100% sure that they've nailed each and every one of those questions? I can get to that point during BR ( my BR scores are around 175) but no way in hell can I ever do that timed.

how do I enter my blind review score for a PT? I only see the option for entering answers for the PT

Thanks

Hi, I know that there are many words that indicate what groups (universal quantifiers) you are in. Among them, where does the word "even if" belong to? Thanks.

I have one LOR from an undergrad professor who knows me very well and always writes a superb letter for me.

I've been in the working world for 2 years, so I'm wondering would it be better for me to get another LOR from an undergrad law professor (likely to be run of the mill review) or a current boss of mine (great review)? This would mean letting my boss know that I plan to leave the company to go to law school.

OR should I use a character reference that would definitely be a glowing review of my work ethic?

Just finished my second PT (#12) and it seemed significantly easier than the 2007 diagnostic. In particular, RC was a breeze. Reading some previous discussions, I get the impression that older tests have certain sections that are easier, while other sections may be tougher. At what point do the PTs start to closely resemble current iterations of the LSAT?
