Recently I have been scoring in the low-to-mid 160's. However I just scored a 159 on practice test 53 and it was mainly to the fact that I had - 11 on the logic games (usually my best section). Granted, I just finished the practice test about 5 minutes ago and it is pretty late but I'm pretty panicked

Hey Guys,

Does anybody know where I upload my personal statement on the LSAC website? I do not see anything for personal statements. Anybody that can help?

Thanks!

So I am hitting 3-5 points below where I want to be. I have registered for September, and I am not opposed to retaking in December. Is it bad to retake? I just don't really see the point of postponing, seeing as the refund won't be worth it. Am I hurting anything by taking it now, if I am okay with a retake?

Just looking for some thoughts on this. Is it worth bothering your undergrad registrar for a sealed letter to send to LSAC so academic honors (Phi Beta Kappa, etc.) can be included on the Law School Report? I already have that information on my resume but was looking over LSAC policies and saw the following:

Academic Notes

If a transcript contains academic notes such as dean’s list, study-abroad credits, academic probation, suspension, dismissal, warning, and so on, these notes will appear on your law school report.

Transcript notations such as dean’s list, Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude, and the like will be included on the report as “Academic Honors.” Academic honors not included on your official transcript will be noted on the Law School Report if an official, sealed letter sent from the registrar is received by LSAC.

If you question a transcript notation of academic action, you should contact the institution directly and resolve the matter as soon as possible. Please note that a discrepancy between your answer to a law school application academic record question and notations on your transcript(s) could result in a misconduct and irregularities investigation.

PT's 75-77 are $6.37 and appears to be big discounts on "The Official" Volume PT books (not sure of previous discount prices on the books)

Hey Guys,

Starting at about what number are the preptests now considered the "new" tests?

Thanks!

Hi, just wondering...How is 40s different from 50s, 60s, or 70s?

Do each 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s have different features?

Especially about LR...

Thank you

Hi all. I recently switched over from the Powerscore books to a 7Sage course and things are going great so far, however, I don't know if it is too early for me to take the test. I registered for the September test far too early and have until Tuesday to postpone. I currently just finished Validity in the course so I have a good amount to go and don't want to rush it. The only thing making me second guess postponing is not hitting my target score in December and then having to delay my admissions until February with the February test which I have heard is too late to apply. Anyone have any advice on this?

Question for those who completed the core curriculum- Did you use all the problem sets available for each question type or saved some for drilling later? It looks like the questions are arranged by difficulty. Not sure if I am going to get the benefit from the core-c if I save the problem sets at the end of each question type for drilling later. What was your approach? Thank you.

More context: I'm setting a target of completing 5 PTs at about my target score before taking the actual test. Is that too few? Thank you!

Hey guys, so I'm currently registered for the Sept 24th LSAT exam. I started studying for the test in March, first with PowerScore. I studied the LR Bible for all of March, the Reading Comp Bible for all of April, and then the Logic Games Bible for all of May. I spent the months of June and July reviewing everything that I had learned and began doing untimed preptests. I then realized that there were certain questions that I was still having difficulty with and consistently getting wrong (eg./ LR weaken questions and assumptions questions, to name a few) so I enrolled in 7Sage at the beginning of August. My original plan was just to use the course to help with my trouble areas, but I ended up completing the whole course as I found it to be useful review and I ended up learning things that I didn't previously learn from PowerScore. It took me two weeks to complete the course, and I then spent the remainder of August (up until now) reviewing all of the lessons from the course. I feel super confident in my knowledge of the test and the different sections/questions, however, after a few days of timed preptests, I'm not scoring where I want to be (and my score seems to fluctuate and is inconsistent). Given that test is 4 weeks away today, do you think I should postpone the test? Or do you think that I have a reasonable amount of time left to fine tune and get my score up? For reference, my score is between 162-166, and I'm aiming for a minimum of 169/170.

Is anyone else having a really difficult time loading videos? I don't think it's my internet speed...

Hi all! I was told that reading extensive and "hard" books/articles will help you in the RC section. Is this true? Does anyone recommend a list of books I should read? Thanks!

Hey everyone!

LG is generally my strength, but when it comes to In/Out games I absolutely bomb them every time (time-and strategy/diagramming-wise).

What have some of you done to improve on In/Out games to improve your accuracy and timing? Just doing certain games over and over again (basically fool-proof method?). I feel like I try to do that, but in the end I just memorize the answers and I don't get anything out of it after a while.

Would love to get your input!

I am the sole owner of a residential property of which I am the landlord.. do I somehow include this on my resume? I am considering it in terms of 1) it's a job sort of, as I do profit off of it, 2) i've been doing it for a few years so it is part of what has kept me busy which adds to what I have been busy doing while completing my undergrad, working full-time, and being a single mother, so I think it adds to the evidence that I am able to balance a multitude of tasks successfully, and 3) shows leadership and management skills (maybe?). I have my resume pretty complete but this actually just crossed my mind today. Should I somehow address it on my resume? At the very bottom under skills and interests?

Am I the only one having problems logging into 7Sage from Mozilla? I even changed my password because it would not let me log in.

It works fine on internet explorer, but I use Mozilla for everything and would prefer to use 7Sage on there.

So I'm curious what everyone believes are soft factors that help with getting accepted into law school. I had built my undergraduate life under the impression I would be attaining an MSW not a JD and this decision happened rather spontaneously within the last few months, as you can deduce I have not done too much research on getting accepted and would truly appreciate help here (specifically pertaining to the 'Soft factors'). I'm a triple major (does this even matter for law?), I have presented my research at two conferences, published in a criminology journal (first name publication), received grants and fellowships, have held a steady job as a mental health professional aid for two years, and several other involvements/memberships in clubs, internships, etc. I have absolutely no clue if any of this matters? What soft factors are they looking for?

I was just doing an RC section (Particularly PT 68) and got to the last passage with a little more than 5minutes left on the clock. At this moment I wasn't sure what the best way to maximize my remaining time was.

Would one advise just reading the passage as quickly as you can and trying to answer what you can with whatever time is left after the reading?

Or

Is it more productive to go straight to the questions and try to target your reading. (I was lucky that this particular passage had a lot of line reference questions, but would the strategy be the same if this weren't the case?)

I wonder what you all think?

The burnout is real, just did a 142 on PT June 2008. Ive been a member of 7sage for over a year, taken a ton of PTs, averaging in the 163-168 area. Ive tried to take it slow but I just bombed the holy f#@* out of this one for some reason. Oh well. Im going to take a few days off before my senior year starts and have some beers, clean my car, and listen to my favorite band Avenged Sevenfold.

Anyone from the Detroit area want to get together for a study session?

Anyone else find the the reading comprehension and logic games on this test were significantly easier than others but that the logical reasoning was more difficult? I scored significantly lower on this practice test and I have been scoring on others. I have been averaging around 163 but I only got 160 on this practice test

I keep getting the message "video not found or access denied".

It was working fine till yesterday, I've restarted my computer, deleted cookies, and tried changing the settings to flash player.

Is it just me?

Has anyone taken the LSAT at LaGuardia Community College and can leave a review?

This is one of those.. had I known back then.. stories. I spent 2 years at a "nationally" accredited college.. not regionally accredited, aka diploma mill or what have you.. I did earn an associate degree (paralegal studies). It was right out of high school, I actually had no idea at the time that my credits were not going to transfer to a 4 year university.. nor did I realize the harm I was doing to myself by going to this school (first generation college student, parents were proud, understandably, that I was actually pursuing college given my unattractive behavior during high school years). I did get a good job afterward and still work as a paralegal so I mean, it could've been worse, I think. Any way, still not giving up on the law school goal, I started over essentially, and 3 years later I am nearly done with a bachelor degree. I do know the LSAC requires the transcript from that school, so I am wondering will the credential assembly services be calculating in the grades from a school that is not regionally accredited? I did call the LSAC and the lady did not really understand my question, put me on hold then came back and said she thinks so but doesn't see why they wouldn't. ??? Anyone have an idea? I know that grad schools will not factor in that GPA. In using the 7sage UGPA calculator, the 2 year school actually boosts my GPA so I am kind of hoping they do count it.. but not sure??

When should I make my Credential Assembly Service account? I am taking the September LSAT but may retake in December if I don't get a good LSAT.
