Hi,

Wondering whether anyone has encountered this in their application cycle and could offer some guidance. Is it preferable that we list all employment history in the application regardless whether its in our resume or not? Or should it only mirror what we include in our resume? I've held many jobs through undergrad and after graduating but some (ie. working as a bookseller in barnes and noble) may not be relevant to include? Or are they?

Thanks!

I've just had an apostrophe, and it's about time too. I think it's something a lot of people probably deal with, so I thought I'd share in the hopes that maybe someone else can benefit from my many months of error.

Time is a huge shadow hanging over the LSAT. No matter how much we know, none of it matters much if we can't apply it with speed. So over the course of my studies, I have been in an epic struggle against time, fighting it with every tool at my disposal. As is good and right. However, I've realized that I was in a race down the stairs, and I was jumping off the landing when I should have just been quickly and calmly descending the stairs.

I discovered this by taking an LR section with a stopwatch instead of a timer. I wanted to find what I'm calling my "natural speed"- not a BR, but not time restricted either. How far away from my goal of a comfortable 30 minute LR section am I? So, I moved quickly and calmly, finished the section, and stopped the clock at 32:30. I couldn't believe it. That's my average speed under timed conditions. Inconceivable.

This result obviously called for some reflection. What does it all mean?

And what it means is this: I had no idea what speed meant. I thought I was "going fast" but all I was doing was "panicking." Speed is not attained by moving ever faster and faster. It's earned by mastering the fundamentals. If I'm having time issues, it doesn't mean I need to go faster, it means I've got to go back to core. If I'm spending six minutes on a complex parallel question, it doesn't mean I need to "go faster," it means I need to go back to the lessons so I can translate the question and answers into lawgic more fluidly. That's the nature of speed on the LSAT.

I hope this resonates with/helps out some others. Mostly because if it's just me then I look like kinda an idiot. But also because if you're like me and feel that underlying sense of haste and panic, maybe this will help you put your finger on the problem and to ultimately overcome it.

Did this happen yesterday?

Looking for people to study LSAT at Cleveland state university in Ohio I got a 156 on last test

I just got an email from LSAT Hacks saying they have put the PT 76 LR and RC explanations on the site. They are not free like the rest of explanantions, but if you took the Oct test and plan on taking the December LSAT it might be worth looking into. Here is the link...

Hi Everyone,

I am studying for the June LSAT and have tried several methods of studying, but cannot seem to break my score. I have tried self study, and even took a Kaplan course, but neither have worked. If you are interested in study groups or think you would be able to provide some tips on things that you have done and worked, please let me know!

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I just went to register for the June LSAT and to my surprise, all the test centers near me are now full. The closest one is about 2 hours away. I just don't like the idea that I would have to road trip on the morning of the LSAT, or go to that city the day before and stay overnight (more $$ I'll have to spend). Also being in a place that is so unfamiliar to me sounds way too intimidating. So now I'm debating if I should just suck it up and sign up for that center or wait for September.

I took my first LSAT in February and got a 153. I was PT'ing at 156 average. February test sucks because they don't release the test but I'm pretty sure the reading comp was my biggest weakness and I probably messed up a game. Anyways, my goal is 160-163, which would be good enough to get me where I want to go. So for one thing, am I being unrealistic aiming for a 10 point jump in 3 months while working full-time?

I know everyone on this site is all for "take as much time as possible" but my concern for September is that I'll burn out or lose focus. At this point I'm not sure where I would begin if I wrote in September, like would I start studying the foundation of LSAT again or keep doing practice test/sections.

I'm just confused, and very indecisive, so I'd like to hear anyone's opinion or experience if you've dealt with something like this before.

Thanks!!

I purchased this printer by recommendation of someone here in the 7 Sage family. I don't recall who recommended the printer but can someone who has purchased replacement toners online provide a link? I've purchased two from two different sites. One did not fit even though it is supposed to be compatible. The other fits but there is a black "dust" residue of ink inside the printer after each print. There's also a clicking or grinding noise that sounds like something isn't fitting properly. I'd rather not deal with these issues for the next purchase. I paid around $25-$28 for them. TIA

What are they, and where can I get a hold of them?

If this means 2 more fresh prep tests, it's good news !

Could someone clarify the best way to tell the difference between weakening questions where the argument is a simple argument and where the argument involves causation? Is it that the causation argument involves a change in a phenomenon? Does this always hold true? I guess anyway that in each instance, you are still attacking the "support," as providing an alternative explanation for a causation is not attacking the hypothesis or phenomenon, but it would still be helpful to know when to pull out my causation logic skills.

First, are we allowed to discuss which section was experimental on a nondisclosed test? And second, if so, anyone who took it want to help figure out which sections were experimental? I had two LG sections.

Hello all,

Just had a couple questions regarding the new photo requirements for the June 2016 examination and beyond. Do you guys know if we can simply upload a camera phone picture as the ID for our online profile? Does the photo need to be in color when we print our admission ticket? Finally, have you guys had experience obtaining a digital copy of a passport style photo from drugstores?

Thanks

First post here, and was wondering about what the typical theory is behind discounting a PT score based on having previously seen a LR question in prep materials, or having done a LG before. I'm not necessarily referring to the kind of top-of-mind awareness to where you could recall the answer to a question after the stimulus, but just having a vague recelalection of the theme. My initial thought on this was that I see dozens of different LGs a week and more than a hundred LRs a week, and therefore the effect is likely negligible. Curious to here others thoughts on this and how it could skew performance analysis.

Hey guys,

As many of you know, I love 7sage. I loved 7sage when I first found the app on the AppStore in the Fall of 2014. I loved the community most of all. A lot of the folks here have become good friends of mine. And in January of this year, I quit my job to come work for 7sage full time. This is the first time in my life I've been a part of something I truly believe in—I have to pinch myself every now and again—if I could go back in time and tell my March 2015 self that I'd be writing this post now, I would have been overjoyed: so many dreams come true!

Back in July of 2014, I started studying for the LSAT. My diagnostic was a 152. After two underwhelming LSAT administrations (Oct and Dec 2015), I had my final shot in February. I officially increased 18 points over my diagnostic!

A lot of people ask these kinds of questions:

1) Is it possible?

2) How do I do it?

3) Are you really sure it's possible/I can do it?

I had those same kinds of questions when I first started frequenting the forums about a year ago. I'm here to tell you that the answer is an unequivocal YES.

So , this is my personal thank you to JY, Alan, and Dillon. Thank you, you guys. You made this possible for me.

Now let's go change the world!

Hey guys!

We're so excited to let you know that 7sage branded merchandise (so many items!) is now available to purchase here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/7sage

Let us know if you have any comments or suggestions :D

I work a full-time job and life has a habit of getting in the way of my law school dreams. I've been doing this program regularly since last October give or take and have had a series of setbacks. Right now I still have about 25% of the curriculum left to cover before the June LSAT. I was blowing though the curriculum pretty quickly until I hit the games section.

A one hour problem set lesson takes me 2-3 hours, usually. I just legitimately suck at games and see very little improvement with them, that is about as honest as I can be. I study about 3-4 hours a night, 4-5 on the weekends. BR'ing a game set is a huge commitment for me. It is depressing to watch what minimal progression a full night of studying does, but to know I have so much more to progress through honestly makes me rage quit my study sessions.

So, I need some advice. For reasons I don't feel like disclosing, I have to be in law school by fall of 2017.. I want to take the June LSAT and games are the only thing I have left. Should I just start doing prep tests and reviewing the rest of the curriculum in my off time? What other courses of actions would some veterans or others who have been in my shoes recommend?

Also one last question. For those of you that may have completed the program like I have been having to do (kind of spread out over a longer period) what was your strategy for condensing and reviewing the material you were rusty on? I know it all builds on each other but I know I have definitely forgotten some stuff. I appreciate any suggestions you have, thank you.

Proctors: The proctors were the school staff and were reasonable. The main supervisor did announcements regarding test instructions from the podium in the lecture hall over the mic so everybody could hear it. The test was done in a very large lecture Hall and all the test takers were in that single big hall.

Facilities: The restrooms were right outside the lecture hall. It got crowded during the break and there was a small line in front of the restrooms, but not something that was too bad.

What kind of room: The Hall was very large with seating for about 300-500 people, but test takers were seated so that one seat between consecutive test takers was left empty. This was almost necessary as else the test takers would have been seated too close. There were around 100-150 test takers in the hall.

How many in the room: ~100-150

Desks: The desks were long continuous lecture hall style of seating. The chairs were individual and height-adjustable.

Left-handed accommodation: Not left handed so I can't tell, but the desk chair style didn't appear to pose an issue for left-handedness.

Noise levels: The nature of large lecture Hall meant that there could be people sneezing, coughing, sniffling at times. I happened to get the wrong seat where two test takers right next to me were sick and were sneezing for various sections of the test. This did distract me in the middle of a very tough section as it got louder. Other than test takers noises, there wasn't any other noise.

Parking: Right next to the lecture Hall room. The parking is marked with a notice that it requires parking permit, but they said one could park there. It would have been better if they put up a notice next to parking notice that the LSAT test takers could park there during the duration of the test.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About an hour.

Irregularities or mishaps: None that I noticed.

Other comments: The only main issue was noise from other sick test takers due to the nature of the large Lecture Hall

Would you take the test here again? likely yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Dec 2015

I know the fool-proof method for logic games is vaunted around here. But I might be the exceptional fool. See, I've done every game from PTs 1-57, most of them several times, and I still cannot consistently get below -4 on new games sections. Sometimes I even get the old games wrong, too. I've been banging my head against this wall since about October, and I just can't learn the damn things! Should I keep drilling and hope for a breakthrough? I thought I had one a few weeks back but then I slid back down to -4 or -5. Maybe I should just put the -0 goal out of my mind and accept that I might have a plateau.

Does law school look at average lsat scores if I took more than one test? I knew that ABA changed the rules to only evaluating highest scores, and my tutor didn't say anything about average scores, so even though I didn't do well in this Feb test, I still didn't cancel my grades since it's my first time. But now I heard my friends all cancelled their grades and said they'll look at average. OMG! and I googled it but people's views differ. Can anyone give me a definite answer? I'm super worried.... Thanks!!

Of course, he said that even though he repeatedly pawed her it wasn't actually sexual harassment. Yeah, right, in your mind it was okay.

Hi people... today's dose of humor for the over worked: the LSAT will be GREAT... and you WILL go to law school... but don't turn into this person;) :
