I have a clear top choice for law school, and while I would love to apply Early Decision, I will likely need some scholarship money. Obviously, Early Decision reduces that chance of receiving money you would receive otherwise. But is it still standard for a law school to dish out money to an Early Decision applicant? My application for this particular school will likely benefit from an LSAT score at the median or 75th percentile but a GPA at the 25th percentile.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, so I will be applying October and have decided that I am done with the LSAT. My dream law school has always been BU Law. With that being said, would consider going to a higher ranked school such as USC, UT, UCLA, etc.

LSAT: 167

GPA: 3.54 (Was in the hospital senior year and my gpa tanked)

Would BU be a reach school or target school. If my GPA is below 25% but LSAT is over 50% where would that put a school?

Also where does this put me with scholarships?

Thoughts?

Highly doubt anyone would have this info but what is the average distribution of questions based on level of difficulty per section. For example (average 3 level 5s on LR, or 80% level 3 or below on LR).

Hey, I'm currently looking into possibly investing in a study program. Does anyone have a particular one they recommend? What experience have you had, what does your program have to offer?

Hi everyone! I just took the July flex (my first time). It felt good overall (not terrible, not great) and I went into the exam assuming I would register for the August flex as well. However, now that I've thought about it does it make more sense to not do August and potentially register for October?

August deadline to register is July 15th, but July flex results don't come out until July 30th leaving me in kind of a limbo until the end of July. If I register now for August and I end up being happy with my July score then I'm out $150. I guess I'm just wondering if there's a general rule of thumb to not register for your next exam until you get your results back?

Background info: Aiming for 170+ and have been scoring between 168-178 in recent PTs (all over I know :/). I'm a teacher so I will be two weeks into the school year for August test and a month+ for October. I want to apply relatively early to be considered for merit scholarships so I don't know if October is too late to take it?

Does anyone know if we can take the Flex with the color inverted on our laptops? This is where the background is black and the words are white.

Did any Flex takers try this?

I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how the LSAT-flex will be scored? If it’s on the same scale as the regular LSAT does that mean we can miss about 8 questions and still get a 170? Thank you!

Anyone having this issue?

Hey 7Sage friends, i took pre-test 68 and scored very differently on the two LR sections. i am a bit perplexed by the discrepancy. How does one get 85% aka 22/26 on the first section of LR on a preptest and then get 56% aka14/25 on the second section of LR on the same preptest? I did both of them timed during a full practice test and THEN redid both sections, timed as well, and got the same score on a different day. I redid them to make sure that the second sections failure wasn't an accident. The difficulty level of the second LR section is clearly much more difficult for me. I would say 85% on the first section is a great outcome but the second section killed my score overall. any tips or explanations for the difference in difficulty? So i need to go back to fundamentals? do preptests usually have one section of the LR that is SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult in comparison to the other? thanks in advance

Hello,

On average, when (March-May I guess?) do people receive replies from schools? If you apply early, do you get result early as well?

Thanks

How can I get my timed PrepTests to closer to my Blind Review scores? I'm averaging upper 150s/lower 160s while timed and upper 160s/lower 170s BR and I don't understand the disconnect. Should I just keep taking PTs and try to get comfortable with timing? Or does anyone have any other tips? TIA!!

Hi folks,

I've started to blind review with the practice tests, and I'm a bit confused on what PTs to blind review with. I've done the first 4 PTs, and they're going well, but I've heard that the later, more recent PTs are more representative of the question types and difficulty I could expect on test day. Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether to start at the very beginning of the tests, or to jump ahead and start PT'ing with the more recent tests? Thank you so much!

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can practice doing 3 sections digitally on 7sage?

I know Powerscore sells their LSAT flex preptest at $7.50 each but I thought I'd ask here first since I have access to all the PTs here.

I recently completed the core curriculum and decided to take PT 36 completely untimed. I scored a 172, and although I know this is not indicative how I will perform under actual testing conditions, does anyone have tips on how to improve timing? I am aiming to hit the 170+ range timed by the end of August (not sure if this is reasonable).

I didn’t see this information on any of the forums I’d scoured before my FLEX exam yesterday so I thought I’d share my misfortune in hopes someone else can avoid my fate.

If you have a Surface Pro with a detachable keyboard you’ll lose all keyboard functionality once ProctorU takes over your computer. I found this out the hard way when none of my highlight or underline tools worked during RC. You can use your finger, but you have to uncheck the tool before you scroll the screen with your finger otherwise it’ll highlight the entire passage.

Cost me 15 mins trying to get the proctor to pause my exam while we figured out the problem. Either plan on not highlighting/underlining anything, or borrow a different computer.

Hi there! I am currently scheduled to take the August LSAT flex (it is now spread out over a week) and signed up for one on September 2nd. I know that typically you have until the day before the LSAT to drop out, but since this one was supposed to be on August 29th, I was wondering if anyone knew if I had to drop by the 28th or if I could drop on September 1st. Thank you!

Hi,

I applied to a school before getting my LSAT score. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with how long it usually takes for LSAC to send your completed report to schools?

Thanks!

I'm confused as to why we ruled out spent fuel rods on the basis that they never contain "significant" quantities of tellurium isotopes? In the first sentence of the stimulus, it just states that they found "radioactive isotopes of iodine, tellurium, and cesium" which doesn't mention the quantity so I'm confused as to why J.Y rules out fuel rods for that reason? There could be SOME tellurium, just not significant amount.

Hello,

I am new to 7sage and plan on writing the november 2020 LSAT. I am looking for some guidance or precedence on how to effectively use the study schedule provided by 7sage. Currently, If I begin tomorrow, the recommended hours per week are 46 and that seems to be quite a bit. If that is not doable, are there any suggestions on how to make my own schedule?

Hi all,

I have four potential candidates I'd like to reach out to for LOR.

Two TAs (one from an elective course: leadership and resiliency i.e. not very hard, and the other was regular course)

and two Professors. Both very accomplished professors, one of the professors is the founder of the Public Policy school at UVA. I received A - for both classes the professors taught. All four taught different classes.

The professors don't know me particularly well, one class was a lecture with 120 students and the other class was a seminar with 15. On the other hand, I interacted with both TAs on a regular basis (many email exchanges, office visits, even study sessions over the phone during final exam period). The ratio for office visits was probably 3 to 1. Notably, I got a bad grade in my midterm for the class that non-elective TA taught but ended up doing really well at the end through many consultations with him and guidance he provided for my final paper and exam. I impressed both TAs and definitely have better, more in-depth relationship with them. I think they would write a stellar and very personal letter of recommendation and suspect that they will have much more substantive things to say about me than the professors.

So my question is,

Who do you think I should ask??

Do you think the admission officers would weigh a letter that has more depth and is written from a TA who knows/likes me but admittedly teach a not very challenging elective course? Or would they weigh a banal letter that sounds like other typical letters from well-known professors?

At the end of writing this I have decided to ask the other TA who taught a regular class but I still need to decide between my leadership class TA vs the two professors. I graduated a year ago and plan on submitting one or two LORs from my managers and supervisors.

Any thoughts/comments are greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I'm registered to take the LSAT in October. I'm wondering if people think it would be worth it to also register for the November LSAT? I know it would really only be helpful if you scored higher, but would law schools see if you cancelled your score for the later one if you didn't do better since you can see your score before you cancel now?

"In the Introduction to Logic lessons, J.Y. talks about how All Jedis use the Force, and J is in a small circle (sufficient) within the domain of the F (necessary).

But in Advanced Logic, he talks about how A->(B->C) = A and B ->C = A is “kicked up” and B->C happens in A’s domain.

But how come the domain in the first Jedi example is the necessary clause? But then the domain is the sufficient clause in the Advanced Logic example?"

Hi Guys,

I am currently at the exact 50% mark of the core curriculum, which is right in the middle of the NA problem sets, and I have a test date booked for August. I am wondering if it is most beneficial to finish the core curriculum before starting PTs (I have only done one full test, the diagnostic, thus far). Thanks for your opinion!

Hey everyone! I took the June LSAT-Flex and got my score a while ago, but the in the "LSAT Documents" section of my LSAC account the document icons are still green, as opposed to grey. I realize Flex tests will not be disclosed, but my last LSAT (Feb 2020 in person) was also undisclosed and the document icons still turned grey after scores came out.

Has anyone been in touch with LSAC about why this is happening? I can't seem to get them on the phone, and I want to make sure that new LSAT-Flex score will get reported to schools.
