I just thought I would throw this question out to the community in hopes of getting a question answered. I am currently planning on studying health care law. Does anyone know how much the ranking of a specialty law program matters in terms of future employment? I have seen few answers online regarding the topic and I have seen even less evidence to back up opinions.

I've done all the games sections from PTs 50 - 56 so far. I've gone between -0 and -3 on all of them, and I finished all of them under time, some with 5-8 minutes to spare. Are these sections easier than normal or I am just getting better at games?

I just recently exhausted all of the games from the LG bundle and went back through the one's that gave me issues up to 5 to 6X over, re-doing them again and again/referring to the video breakdown, until I felt I had the hang of it. All of this has taken a couple months of LG-exclusive focus. I've improved and although not perfect, I think I'm at a point where I can move into the next phase. The plan is to take a few days to revisit my notes on LR/RC from the CC in an effort to refresh myself after time spent essentially in LG boot camp.

I feel the next step should be to either take LR sections from the older PTs or begin full PTs from 36 and up. I'm aware that opinions vary regarding drilling LR by complete sections or by specific question types. For those who have done both, has one helped your improvement more?

Also, is drilling LR sections and question types before or after beginning full PT phase more a preference or are there strong reasons to do one before/after?

Man, I got my first sub-170 PT score in months and I'm feeling really defeated. Did anyone else find the first LR section to be extremely difficult? I haven't missed more than 3 questions in an LR section since I started studying again in June. Am I going crazy? BLEGHHHHHHHHH

I have been studying since June and I am now seeing some big score improvements.

The problem is that I go back to school in early September and whilst I was planning on taking the December exam, I am afraid that I won't be able to devote much time for the LSAT during the school year. I am afraid of actually becoming worse at the LSAT because I won't be able to devote much time for the test.

The deadline for late registration for the Sep exam is tomorrow :( (eek)

Should I study hard during the next month and take the September LSAT or postpone till December or February? Or try my best to study for the LSAT during the shcool year and take a shot at the December exam?

Any advice will be deeply appreciated!

thank you!

7sagers in school/working/parenting, how do you balance all of your responsibilities with your studies? I just started school again this week and I already feel like I'm drowning. With 30 days until the LSAT, I'm scoring above my goal. But, I'm still worried about having enough time to complete all four logic games. Agh! Give me some experience, strength, and hope, please.

Hello,

I'm considering purchasing add-ons. I discovered 7sage pretty late, and I'm already a year into my studies and will be taking the September 2016 test. I'm scoring in the mid to high 160s. I feel that I have a solid grasp of the concepts and I just want to iron out my wrinkles. I've already watched tons of 7sage LG videos on YouTube, read several prep books including the LSAT Trainer, and browsed a lot of forums.

That being said, I'm now working on the PTs in the 70s+. I'm hesitant to purchase 7sage's full packages because they're pricey and so I'm considering purchasing just the individual add-ons from 72 to 78.

- Am I allowed to purchase add ons without purchasing any of the main packages?

- If I do purchase just the add-ons, do I also get access to the basic tutorials (in case I need to reference some terminology in the individual explanation video)?

- Can I purchase one add-on at first, and then purchase the rest later if I feel that they're worth the money? Would this extend the duration in which I can view the add-ons or does my counter start over for the subsequent purchases?

Lastly, I'm interested to hear what everyone's thoughts are on the add-on explanations and whether you think they're worth it.

Thanks.

It is my intention to take my 180Watch with me on test day, since I find it very useful when doing PTs. Can I be a 100% certain about being allowed to have it in the test room with me (I know there are some restrictions on the type of watch one can have)?

Thanks,

Piotr

Is anyone else having an issue with loading video's with the volume? I will be in the middle of J.Y. speaking and then the volume just cuts completely off. I refresh the page in hopes that it will work again, but nothing. I tried playing around with the settings, but nothing seems to work. I use Chrome as my browser is that a bad option for this website?

It completely fills up the photo box.

Recently there have been a theory that accommodated test takers will have to take the experimental section of the LSAT. I have contacted the LSAC through an email and I have stated:

"To Whom it May concern,

I am writing to the accommodations department of the LSAC about individuals who have extra time on the LSAT. If individuals have time and a half or double time to take the LSAT, will they be required to take the experimental section of the LSAT or will they only take the 4 sections and the writing sample like they have done in the past? For example, I have taken the June LSAT with time and a half due to my disabilities and was only required to take four sections and the writing sample. For the upcoming September LSAT I was approved for double time on the LSAT, so will I be taking four sections and the writing sample or 5 sections and the writing sample?"

Once I receive an answer ( I will receive an expedited answer due to an argument I had with an LSAC representative) I will inform everyone with a screenshot of LSAC's response. I have provided a link down below that outlines the lawsuit between the ADA and LSAC. I hope we may get an answer in our favor!

If anyone has sent an email to LSAC regarding the situation, may you please share your email and their response so we may get to the bottom of the situation at hand. Thank You!

Can somebody explain how to use the calculator for LSDAS GPA? I went to one school my freshmen year that did plus/minus system and received 2 B's 2 B+'s and 6 A's. Then my next school does not do plus/minus but counts A's as 4 points. Does that mean I enter these in as A's or A+'s? What does 3 passing and 4 passing mean? And also do I put the total number of points I received (at the first school my A's were 3 points and at my final school the A's are 4 points) in the section that says five point? I am really confused.

My LSAC GPA is lower than my UG GPA. I took some classes in high school at a local college and that lowered it a bit. I am worried it will hurt my chances applying to some schools where my degree gpa is at the median but my LSAC gpa is lower than the median.

Hey guys,

I am currently focusing on LG, and I decided to try the LSAT trainer in combination with 7Sage. However, I find the Trainer to be a bit complicated and confusing thus far ( I am currently on chapter 10 of the book). Has anyone else experienced this, and is it worth completing the LG portion?

Thanks!

Hi guys i'm wondering if I could get some advice. I started casually studying for the LSAT about two months ago and i'm through 60% of the curriculum. In the fall ill be taking about 9 credit hours of classes so not too bad. In your guys opinion do I have enough time to squeeze in drilling through the cambridge packets for LR and LG then get in enough PT's for the December exam? I hear that some people just do logic games for a month..I would like to do that but it would take too much time away from scheduled PT's. Another option could be February but I will be taking 16 credit hours so I don't think ill have enough time...However the February exam is in the first week of so I could squeeze it in before the pressure of midterms. The next time I could take the test would then be December 2017 probably. I think my first diagnostic after I'm done the curriculum may give me a lot of info too..If I score around 152-152 I may just go ahead and write in December as my goal score is only 160...what do you guys think.

Thanks.

The undergrad institution I am about to graduate from has the 10 point, or A/B, scale. We do not have A+/- scale. I currently have a 3.93 GPA. Will the LSAC change my GPA? It shouldn't change based on the LSAC requirements, as I have not failed or retaken any classes. How does this work? Thanks.

I am taking the December LSAT. Should I start writing the PS while studying for the LSAT(now or in a month or so), the day or so after the December LSAT, or the day I get my score back?

Also, could I use the same personal statement for every school or are these schools that have different personal statement topics from the general open ended topic? If so, which schools are these?

The September test is fast-approaching. I've been getting mixed messages online with regards to prep in the last two weeks before the exam. I had a couple questions that I thought I'd put up for discussion. I realize a lot of this might be up to personal preference but wanted to see what you guys would have to say.

1) Do you write any *new* PT's in the final week?

2) If yes, is it really worthwhile to write the most recently published one. (I.e. PT 78 before September 2016 exam?) Wouldn't this limit your chances of reviewing and possibly affect your confidence if you write poorly considering it's most likely to reflect what the actual test would look like?

3) Assuming you are in a position to clear your schedule the week before the test, would it be better to do light review (i.e. drills and timed sections) or try to take time off of the lsat and relax (seeing as how I find frequently mentioned - you are unable to change little if anything in the last week anyways)

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give a big shout out to Alan for hosting our 7sage event last Thursday night in Toronto, Ontario. I know it's safe to say on behalf of everyone that attended that we all had a great time and appreciate your efforts to bring us all together to finally meet face to face.

To all that could not make it, there is still lots of time to exchange contact info and set up local group sessions :)

If those of you are not as email-savvy as myself, feel free to use this thread to get in contact with students in this area. You can also message me directly if interested in future studying.

Here are a couple of photos from the night (sorry to all who left before this)...

pics to come....

This would be cool and I wouldn't have to use countdown timer . com bs.

That is all.

Is it true that the newer LG sections are easier than usual? I've heard that the most brutal LG sections are in the early 2000s. Is there any truth to this? June and February 2016 test takers (if there are any left) what kind of games did you run into on the actual test?

I'm curious as to whether or not it is worth investing in a desk/study space in my home.

Wondering where you guys study for the LSAT? At home? or do you go to a library?

Also, if you study at home, how is your study space set up?

Hello 7sagers,

I need your advice on how to react to this drop…

I’ve reached my peak score in the late 60 pts scoring 161-164 range which is my target score. I thought I was definitely ready for the September test.

To my surprise, starting with pt69 to 70, I felt like I was so lost in LR and scored 157 on both of them.

Is it just me who feels there’s a dramatic change in LR Qstems?

I feel so discouraged and am even considering to postpone the test..

I believe standardized tests should retain similar difficulties over tests and these differences are such a bummer..

Any suggestions..?

I have a somewhat weird question.

You see the LSAT is graded on a curve which means your score also depends on others’ scores.

Does this mean that you’re more likely to get a higher score for the same amount of correct answers if other test takers do badly?

If that’s the case, does it mean that you’re more likely to get a higher score if you take the test, say in Japan where the average test takers’ English proficiency is way lower than say, in the US?
