I am putting together my law school application and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good quality CV editor. I have a great deal of professional experience as well as extracurricular activities and I just want it to be streamlined for a law application.

Any recommendations would be fantastic!

Thanks!

Feeling depressed

Hey Fellow Sagers,

Iv'e been studying for the exam now for over a month, but I really don't see any results. I can't break a 140! My goal is not to get a 170+, I'm just being realistic with myself. Anyways, I don't have a good or on ok section. On My last Prep test that I took (Test 52) which was done on timed conditions,I did terrible. I got -32 on LR, - 21 on RC and -14 on LG. I don't know what to do. I've never been a good standardized test taker. If I can get in the Mid 150's I'll be more than glad. My gpa is a solid 3.85. Please help! Is there anyone one else out there that is starting out in the mid 130's? I plan on taking the test in December. Thank you for your time.

I think the memory method is great but is a bit time consuming, I am thinking of approaching it like this: after reading each paragraph, write a quick memo on the side of the paragraph of the main point, no more than 7 or 8 words. Then when you do the questions you can quickly look back at your brief summary of the main point next to each paragraph. I just think the whole turning the paper over and writing what you memorized down can take a while and a lot of times you forget exactly what the paragraph is saying, but if you write a brief memo about it right after you read a paragraph, it is still fresh in your mind.

Just my thoughts, do you agree? If not, what method works best for you?

upgraded but no access

Hi

I paid for my upgrade yesterday (its been about 24 hours) but it seems that I cannot access the Starter level material. I worked through a lot of the free stuff so I have been anxious to start. Does it take a while for the account to recognize that I already upgraded?

Studying Help!

I am just wondering if we are suppose to go through all the lessons and then tackle the PTs one by one after we have worked through the syllabus. Do people incorporate the PTs into their studying or does everyone work through all the lessons first?

Hey fellow Sagers,

I was wondering did anyone hear start out with a 135 or something or something along those lines when they started their prep with 7sage? If yes what is your score now and how did you do it? Thanks! I really need all the motivation that I can get. I plan on taking December and I'm aiming for at least 155

Need Help!

I have been studying close to three months now. I took a month long prep course through my university to kick off my studying. My diagnostic was low as expected. Although I have literally stayed at the same score with a slight 2 point improvement a few weeks ago. I took a PT today but it was one I had already taken by accident and obviously scored the best because the material was familiar. I just am so frustrated and cannot get the improvement I am wanting to see despite studying 5 days a week. I would love to personally talk to someone where I could give them more details about my situation etc. Someone please help

Philadelphia Study Partner?

If you're in the Philadelphia area and want a study partner (for the Sept LSAT), let me know. It would be cool to hold each other accountable and share strategies. Respond if you'd be interested!

I'm sure I'm not alone in using 7Sage's LSAT Analysis tools AFTER taking and grading my own PTs.

For those of us who do, as we improve, it starts to become more of a hassle for us to enter all our correct answers in the PT Grader.

Why not offer an option to only enter the answers you got wrong? It would save anyone averaging 160+ a significant amount of time.

Application Process

Hey everyone! I've been studying to take the September LSAT and to apply to law schools for the Fall of 2015. I haven't started any apps yet or really done much research (obviously I need to get on this). I have emailed some former professors about rec letters, but I am just hoping to get some helpful advice on where to start in this process. I feel like there is so much to do and I'm overwhelmed! Also, how many schools is everyone applying to? Just curious. Any feedback is welcomed.

Thanks!

What are y'all's strategies for attacking them? I finally got the basics down, and if I've seen an exact (or near exact version of the game) before, I can usually kill it with time to spare.

But it's those weird games. Those games which mix it up in a way that I've never seen before. You know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about games which match sequencing with an in and out game. I'm talking about games in which you have to draw a freakin' star to finally figure out how to do the freakin' puzzle (I'm lookin' at you, Preptest 38, Game 4!) I'm talking about unconventional charting games which don't look all that similar to any of the games I've done before (Preptest 39).

So what are you strategies? Appreciate any feedback.....

I know you can't expect to see a huge increase in your LR score a day after you finish the 7sage course. But any success stories to keep me motivated would be great. I feel like I am really learning with 7sage but people on these forums still recommend buying either a manhattan LR book or the lsat trainer to supplement. I thought 7sage would give you everything you need as long as you drill, drill, drill and blind review is key right? I read through the powerscore bibles and by far I feel like 7sage is so much better.

Any insight would help!

Feeling Discouraged

I have been studying for a few months now, since the beginning of May, and I have a solid score of 152 almost every time I take a prep test.

My LG is usually anywhere between 17-20 correct, so I think my LG is fine, but I struggle on the last two sections.

Most specifically, I think I'm struggling in second-guessing myself. I go back and review my answers, and most are from me deciding between two.... but always picking the wrong one. Does anyone else have this problem? Can you guys suggest anything to get me out of this slump? My law school that I'm applying to bases entrance on GPA vs LSAT almost exclusively, so I need a range of 159-165 to "get in".

Help! :(

score variations?

I finished the curriculum and did about 4 practice tests so far and i'm seeing dramatic score variations (like from 154 to 163 and back down to 151)... is this normal?? I'm wondering if the 163 was an anomaly and i'm trying not to get discouraged. I know it's still early in the PT stage, but what is everyone's experience with their score varying during PTs?

I am looking to study with someone for the September LSAT. Getting help from each other, by giving tips, advice, and having someone to follow the same journey as me this summer! I am a 4.0 student but this LSAT is kicking my butt right now (been studying for only a week now). But I won't let it get to me!

If you are interested let me know.

Do we blind review every section? So basically review all of our circled questions, maybe even re-read the reading comp passages at a slower pace to confirm answer choices etc.? We basically can review the whole test at a slow untimed pace? THEN check our answers?

Also for full length PT's do you blind review the same day you took it or the day after? What do you think is more useful? Obviously when I am doing section drilling I will BR immediately after.

Any advice would be awesome! Thanks!!!!!

The system always says "enroll in a full course", but I'm already enrolled and paid. Now I can't study any lesson except the free trail. Am I the only person having this problem? Plz help!
