Anyone near San Jose willing to study?

I know that schools can now receive your scores without the writing sample, but I wonder if they won't actually make a decision until they have it. Has anyone been accepted this cycle before their LSAC writing sample was processed (since it can take up to a month)? Thanks!

Has this happened to anyone? Will I have to retake it? THIS SUCKS.

Took the digital LSAT. I filled one question at the last minute but lsac did not credite with an answer. I am 💯 sure that I filled it. How do I dispute this? Please help.

Anyone wants to swap and we read each other. I want some feedback. :)

I was BR-ing this and I have some questions, but I'm not sure of we are allowed yet.

I want to put all the HARD questions into a question bank I made on a word document to make them easier to study. However I cannot copy and paste any of the questions, what should I do?

Hi there,

I am trying to change my picture for the Jan 2020 LSAT, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. Is it too late?? The tickets dont get printed until Jan 6.

Thank you!

Good morning everyone! Happy New Year!

I have been studying for the LSAT since November 2019. I also registered for the February 2020 exam. I decided to "self-study" using only the LSAT Trainer. I used the Khan Academy LSAT for my first diagnostic and scored a 144. Very embarrassing to say the least. I have set out a goal score for a 160 until test day. I have been working on practice drills and my last two PT scores were the same 137. My soul has been crushed especially since I have been set to take this test in February and now I am sitting here with two timed tests at 137. I do not know where to go from here... I have 5 weeks left with my trainer schedule that consists of only PT's after this and 8 more weeks until my actual test. I am a bit skeptical/ afraid to start a new program that will rewire my learning strategies before test day. What should I do?

I have been contemplating on purchasing one of the 7 sage bundles and unsure if it will help me increase my score. I am stuck on deciding whether to purchase one of the bundles (if so, which one) and test on February 2020 or work through the bundle and withdraw my registration until I feel ready. I am feeling the pressure at this point and my ultimate goal is to do my best. Any suggestions for this demoralized soul?

P.S.- I read that there is a customized study schedule/ plan for each bundle. How does this work? Will I need to take another diagnostic? Is there anyone out there with similar concerns? What has worked best for you? Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I am currently getting mid 150+ and am taking the January exam in 10+ days. My goal for this exam is 160. (Ultimately aiming for 167-170 by May).

Every time I do the digital preptest and BR, I get at least 12-15+ correct question difference.

I am wondering if the difference is majorly because one's on digital and the other is on digital/paper.

I do would like those differences to be reflected on my actual preptest.

Any suggestion?

i didnt show both sides of the scrap paper to the camera. the program did not instruct me to. anyone get in trouble for this???

Hi guys, it's coming down really heavy in my area. I know it's very unlikely that the exam will be cancelled due to weather, but I've heard that it has happened in the past when certain test centres close. Does LSAC send out an email? How are we notified of weather cancellations? Thanks!

Not really an LSAT topic, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has recently had an international transcript processed by LSAC, and could indicate how long it took for processing. This Saturday will be the 1 month point from when LSAC first received my transcripts, and I'm beginning to get antsy.

Is anyone in the Houston area studying for the lsat? If so, would anyone be interested in making a study group?

Hi there!

So I have gone over the lessons and listened to all of the videos. I tend to print out 10 clean copies of the problem sets they give us in the lesson and then I drill those. I'm wondering if you still need to drill prep tests that are "Deprecated"? To be honest I have no idea what the Deprecated part means.... I know that it means that it will be deleted soon...so should we still drill these as well? I'm hoping that if I drill hard enough on the problem sets that they give us per section then that will be enough and then I can go ahead and take a full on prep test.

Thank you!

Hello everyone! Just curious, but how does everyone approach writing samples? Do you practice writing them out or do you just focus on the multiple choice section of the exam mostly? I was wondering if I should be practicing the writing sample more than I do (which is zero).

Thank you in advance!

Hi, does anyone know if you withdraw before they make a decision, if they'll still have access to my files and if they'll pull them up in the next cycle, even though I would've withdrawn my application before they get a chance to look at it during this cycle?

I'm waiting to hear back from one law school and recently I just had the attorney general's office decided to join in on a brief that I wrote for a law firm. Is this something that I should update the schools with and let them know? It's a reach school for me. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Greetings 7 Sagers,

I was hoping to get some insight on the ethics of contacting schools for application advice. Is it acceptable to touch base with a school and inquire about advice they can give you as a JD applicant? I'm sure there are several people in this community who are either 1) waiting for a decisions, or 2) on the waiting list, and would greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks!

Hi I'm most interested in going to Stanford and although I've contacted the admissions office I haven't been able to get in touch with students. Are there any students or graduates who'd be willing to message? I did try the Facebook alumni page as well to no avail. Thank you!

Has anyone taken the LSAT at the Sofitel hotel in Midtown NY? What was your experience like?

I'm 100% supportive of 7Sage and I believe the law school prep will be well worth peoples' time and money. Aren't there already books to prepare you for law school, such as the Short & Happy Guide to (torts, property etc)? Does anyone have experience using these books?

I'm interested in knowing if people have looked into alternatives and if those are already great resources, or if they're missing some critical points of the law.

Anyhow I'm going to the 7Sage course anyways and thank you 7Sage for providing another resource for us :)

Hi all I was hoping I'd crush PT74 with the +50% accommodations box ticked as I was recently approved for accommodations. I found some very interesting points:

For RC and LR questions that took me over 3:00, I got 3/11 correct. That's 27% of getting a question right if I'm going past the 3:00 mark; I think this shows there's a fundamental problem going on for that question that I'm just not gonna figure out, so guess and move on basically, don't waste time and energy.

RC and LR questions from 2:00-3:00 I got 10/14 right which is 71% accuracy.

RC and LR questions from 1:30 - 2:00 I got 9/12 which is 75% right.

RC and LR questions that took 1:00 - 1:30 I had 86% accuracy, getting 25/29 questions right.

Alarmingly, for questions that took less than 1:00 on LR and RC, I had 100% accuracy, getting 16/16 right.

What's going on for LR and RC is I basically knew the answer fast or not at all. More time doesn't didn't mean significantly more accuracy for me.

For LG: oddly the results were not the same at all for answering fast. As a caveat, I do consistently go -0 to -2/3 with more time, on one game in particular I got 3 wrong in a row which is not usual for me.

(1:00, I got 70% 7/10 right

1:00 - 1:30, I got 87% 7/8 right

1:30 - 2:00 1/1 questions right(/p)

2:00 75% 3/4 right

For LG I missed 5 questions total and 60% of those incorrect answers took me less than a minute to get wrong. My takeaway from this would be don't rush, with extra time focus more on POE, and I need to keep foolproofing. What's especially odd is generally if you make a fundamental mistake you end up coming across an LG question where things just don't feel right, or you can POE all the answers, indicating you made a mistake in setup or rules. That didn't happen here so I need to find out what went on.

This is a sample size of only 1 test so take this with a grain of salt. Hope you enjoyed the read

I just stumbled on the news.

"Due to the COVID-19 emergency, LSAC has made the difficult decision to cancel the March LSAT. Candidates will be rescheduled for the next LSAT and be offered additional scheduling options should interactions continue to be limited. "

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is foing okay during these difficult times and have all they need (or at least teh capacity to get what they need). I also hope you are practicng social distancing and takign advantage of all the streaming services available!

I have decided to take a gap year to really work hard to get the score I need and want before I apply to law school. I am planning to, ideally, register for the September and/or October LSAT(s). I'll have at least 6 months to study for this exam if I use April-May to go through the core curriculum again while doing online remote learning (with a potential pass/fail transcipt recording) and I will ideally start focusing on timed practice (PTs and sections) starting in June until the end of the summer and/or until I take the exam. I will be able to study full-time during the summer and potentially until I take the exam. I have not done any kind of studying since October of last year and none of the studying I have done in the last 6 months was consistent so it is safe to say I am starting from square 1, with some knwoledge of the lsta and curriculum.

I would like to get some thougths on a few things:
