I know 7Sage is primarily a LSAT prep oriented forum but I thought I'd post some info regarding the recent employment outcomes for the class of 2014.
The data is being compiled in a thread on TLS forum: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=245859
The google spreadsheet that is being updated can be found here for the Top 50 schools or so: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i1UhZ1rd-2P88CnWESVMXsfTID4waRIx1z_oYGT6p80/htmlview?sle=true#gid=14086468
Hello,
I wanted to invite 7Sagers to this weekend's group BR session. Please take the full test - BR individually - and prepare for the awesomeness that is group BR! (Or do your best to do all those things. You are always welcome to listen - or provide input if you didn't have time to BR everything).
I, as a June test taker, want to get started on the 50s/60s as the date is coming up quick! But I know that October or later folks may feel differently. So it may be time to split into groups. :,( If you Octobers don't mind skipping around and want to do 54, then please join! Otherwise, post below and we can figure out what to do.
Please send @emli1000 your Skype IDs, if you haven't already, so she can add you to the group. She has mastered Skype much better than I have.

Hi guys I'm very curious about how karma points are calculated? say posting a comment in the forum/under a class video = ? karmas? initiating a discussion = ? karmas? and how karma points are linked to a user's role in the forum: mentor or member, etc. Any thoughts?
As you can see from the title, I'm having a dilemma and I'd really appreciate any thoughts/advice you might have. I'm retaking the LSAT after having a disappointing score in December. I've decided that after nearly a year of studying for the LSAT, I don't want to get a score less than 168. I feel like I'm capable of it and I've seen a slow but steady improvement since I started studying again in February.
However, because test day scores are +/-3 points, I want to be averaging a 170+ before taking the real thing. Right now, I'm still averaging in the upper 160s and haven't been able to consistently score above a 170. It's mid April and I thought I should see how I do on the next two PTs. If I'm scoring 170+ I thought I should go ahead and register for June; otherwise, continue studying until September.
Are my two most recent PTs sufficient for me to base my decision on and/or should I simply wait until September? What do you guys think?
Does anyone know if the change regarding PDF LSAT exams and content will affect the pricing of the courses? I wanted to purchase my class before the 21st but now I will not able to so I will have the extra expense of buying lsat test books in addition to the price of the course. =(
Dealing with another "LSAT Headache"
Any tips to reduce/lessen/avoid them?
FYI - I space out PTs so they are at least 2 days apart.
Any tips on how to reduce eye fatigue. I regularly use eye drops, but as I move through my PTs my eyes become really strained.
I know this is par for the course, but any ideas on reducing I fatigue.
I think you all should take a break from your aggravating LSAT studies and focus on this aggravating photo. :) Is the kitty kat going up or down the stairs?! (I personally think its going down the stairs).

Using a kaplan book in conjunction with these videos and can use some help! Can anyone explain Kaplan's answer for the part B? I could have sworn it was an error.
If Megan buys a juicer, then she buys kale or mangos.
A. What do we know if megan buys a juicer?
My answer: she bought mangos, kale, or both.
B. What do we know if megan buys neither mangos nor kale?
My answer: nothing. I thought that no logical deductions could be made from this statement because this is the necessary condition not the sufficient condition.
Kaplans answer: then she can't have bought a juicer
Just curious to know if anyone has ever been selected to participate in PBAP for the law school of their choice? Since their LSAT score was lower than the median score?

I often have a difficult time determining when I should split gameboards. Are there any indicators you guys rely on? Sometimes JY does it and other times he doesn't, but I can't figure out when it should be done.
In between the sections, i.e. section 1 and 2, is there a longer break than the 7Sage proctor on the app gives? On the app it seems like its about 20 seconds, but I've read on online forums you have time to take a sip of water and reset watches etc. Any insight?
How do I know if I should solve for all game boards? Is there a way to distinguish the best approach when time is limited?
Hey guys, when taking PT's, in order to simulate the conditions on the LSAT, I use the proctor and cut out each section from the 10 official LSAT books. I cut them so they're still attached, as if the real LSAT would be. They're like $20 on Amazon for 10 tests. Not a bad deal.
Hey everyone,
I was just wondering how everyone has been doing on the question sets given after every lesson?
I seem to be hit and miss and sometimes i get 8 out of 10 and sometimes 4 out of 10. My blind review also is not helping that much either as it seems i just seem to go with the same answer as before. what can i do other than re-watch the lesson to bring my marks up to a consistent 8 or 9 out of 10?
Hey 7Sagers,
Saw there was some confusion, so I just wanted to let you know that our videos are NOT leaving. Only licensed PDFs are being removed. More on it here:

Hi All! I have not applied yet to law school but when I do.. I have a question.
When you submit the school's application. Do you have to send your scores right then and there? For ex. I took the Feb test but will be retaking the test when I am ready to get a better score. Is it possible to send the scores together versus one first and then one when I retake?
Thanks in Advance!
It looks like all explanation videos with LSAT questions will be removed, is there any way to download those videos?
I was just wondering, what does it look like to a Law school when you re-take the LSAT, but get a lower score the second time? I know all the law schools i'm going to apply to do NOT average your scores, but instead consider the highest score.
Hey guys, I'm starting an in-class LSAT prep in San Francisco called Nathan Fox LSAT prep. Has anyone heard of it? It has really good reviews online and I was wondering if anyone is in the area. The books he writes have really good reviews as well.
Hey Fellow 7-Sagers,
I'm a slow reader. I'm struggling with time-management on LR quiz practice questions. I'm unable to complete the quizzes within the allotted 15-minutes. I am,however, getting the questions I do answer correct. I've been reading magazines such as The Economist and The Atlantic, but I've yet to see any increases in my reading speed. When I purposely try to speed up, my accuracy suffers. Any tips on increasing reading speed while maintaining accuracy? I know this problem will be a factor on other sections, especially RC. Thank you.
For some reason, I can't load videos in Law School Prep and the "Next" buttons are not showing up on the lesson pages anymore. I bought access yesterday and completed some lessons normally, but today, it isn't working correctly. I've tried refreshing the page and logging out and logging back in again with no success. Also, when I am trying to view the lessons, the "Upgrade" button is appearing at the top of the page. I have already bought premium access, so I don't know why that would be there.

I am having problems understanding why that AP is the conclusion. Structurally, I understand that it is the conclusion (because of the conclusion indicator 'but'). However, the argument, IMO, is terrible. There is no support that the risk of a satellite colliding will increase in the near future. It says that ONCE it happens, then more collisions will occur. But, what if a collision never occurs in the first place?
I go to USF, looking to create a study group in the area if anyone is interested let me know.
