I am taking the Feb 2016 test and looking for friends to study with!! Let me know if your in the area.

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.

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone had a couple minutes to look over my personal statement. I've gotten a couple friends to look at it and I have changed it multiple times (drastically). I was just hoping to have someone with a fresh POV to check it out.

I'm willing to edit your personal statement in return! I was an English major in undergrad so I can guarantee great grammar skills. In terms of personal statement expertise though, I'm no expert but I can do my best to help you out.

Thank you so much!

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

Thanks

Anyone impacted by this? This would be my absolute worst nightmare.

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?

Hello everyone I'm new here if there is anyone in the Atlanta area that would like to bounce ideas off each and self correct please let me know. . I'm better with another person???

Just started binge-watching The Good Wife.

What are your go-to "I want to go to there" lawgeek movies/shows?

Hey friends—

I'm working on a special something-something. I need your help!

In the comments, please share (ranging from one-word answers to full lengthy posts) your answer[s] to this question:

What makes 7sage unique?

Here are some examples:

—Complicated ideas broken down in simple digestible language.

—A dose of inspiration to help you push through the pain and self-doubt.

—An honest approach that presumes that you have the capacity to understand even the hardest questions on the LSAT.

But we want to know ... what makes 7sage unique FOR YOU? Any part of the 7sage experience—from the analytics to the forums to the problem sets to the Dragon Ball analogies.

When doing my first letter of red I put my prof. for a evil. she did it too. But my other prof. I just left it. I heard since they're a new thing is it even worth assigning it to schools? I did it to "increase my chances" but I think someone on here said they're annoying to the admissions office. I think it was pacifico lol not sure. Should I just delete the eval? Thanks for your inputs!

I feel like this is a really silly question, but I tried searching on Google and on the forums here and couldn't find anything... So here goes: When do we get to write our names on the answer sheet on test day?

I've been using the 7sage proctor and the section 1 instructions aren't long enough for me to write my name (I have a very long name...), and the proctor mentions to not write on the answer sheet. So do we get to write our names before the section 1 instructions are read? Maybe someone who's written the test before could shed some light on this (laughably simple) question... Thanks in advance!

Do law students have to fill out the Fafsa to get federal student loans?

I find myself getting answers incorrect because of key information in a stimulus's background info.I usually underline the conclusion and bracket the premises/support, but then i'll get an answer incorrect because the background info had something important. How do I fix this problem? The Trainer teaches us to not worry about Background and only focus on the relationship between premise and conclusion, but then something like this happens.

Feb re-takers, what do you suggest is the best way to go about PTing? I did all of the 70+ tests, most of 50-69, getting ready for December, so now I worry that my LR drilling isn't as effective because I recognize a fair amount of the questions. For example, I just did PT 63 and I recalled quite a few of the LR questions as I've done these questions before in preparation for December. LR is my strong point, and I know I can make gains on LG/RC too, but I wanted to bolster LR because there is a small, and some what trickier shift in LR stimuli in PTs 70-76.. Through the analytics on here I can see that I've dipped a considerable amount in the 70+ tests in LR. Should I just focus on the more recent exams and BR the hell out of them, or should I focus on earlier exams like in the 30s/40s for fresh(er) questions ? When it comes to RC and LG, I feel that those can be recycled because you can always get quicker in your deductions for LG and more proficient with RC.. Thanks for the input!

How long did it take LSAC to process your transcript??

Has anyone gone back and identified the percentage of where the Fake section in the Test's lie? As in 20% it is first 30% it is last etc? I am just curious. Also it can show up anywhere correct?

Just in case you need another prediction

Hi!

I kind of thought I would never make this post. I'm a long time 7Sage user!

I wasn't going to apply this cycle (I thought my LSAT was too low), but my boss urged me to apply and I was accepted early in the cycle yesterday. :)

I could not have done it without 7Sage and this amazing community of people.

& I am so happy I never have to touch an LSAT book again. :) mwahaha. I'm also from Canada :). YAY ok. Thanks 7Sage!!!

I know speed comes with accuracy, but I am having trouble over 15 questions per LR section. I usually run out of time between 13-15 questions. I know I can't answer every single question, but I at least would like to have time to answer 20 per LR and I'll take random guesses with the remaining ones

.

Does anyone know what the protocol is for requesting late applications to be considered for review? i.e. University of Toronto & Osgoode Law Schools.

I'm awaiting the Dec. LSAT score release and hoping to go the a U.S. school but am applying to local institutions as a safety net and can't gather much from relevant information from their websites.

Does one just send an e-mail requesting a late application to be considered and wait for a response or is it best to send the e-mail with unofficial transcripts and resumé attached?

Thanks so much advance!!
