Is it really difficult to get a job at a big firm as an international student from t16?
I got 168 last time and I might still try applying but I am really concerned about the chances of me getting a right position after law school, since it is not just dime and nickels that costs.
I''m not from undergrad in the states nor does I have citizenship.
If anyone has any knowledge about this kinda issues, I'd really appreciate it if you share your opinions.
I took the July LSAT and am looking to do the writing section, however when I go to the LSAT Writing section there is not a link to launch for the July LSAT that I took. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Hi everyone I was looking for a little bit of advice...
I started studying for the LSAT in December with Kahn Academy (I know horrible choice) with a diagnostic of 153. I improved to a 157 after two months hired a tutor and was PT between 167-173 before the July flex. I got a 167 and was not surprised as I felt I had made some mistakes on the games.
I am switching over to using CC and was wondering if anyone had any advice on navigating through it with the hope of taking the exam again in October. For reference my splits looked like LR: -0 to - 4 RC: -0 to -6 (most inconsistent section) LG: -0 to -3.
Thank you all in advance.
Hi all (sorry this is long),
I just got my score back for July and got a 162. Unfortunately, this was below my average of 164-166 and below my record of 169 but I'm just going to get back to it and try again. Now, I'm having a little trouble figuring out where to start. I'm wondering if I should go back through the course, although a bit quicker, to reinforce the basics or if that would be a waste of time and I should start trying to hone in on the sections and question types I need the most improvement on.
If I could guess, I would say that RC probably damaged my test day score the most, I've been able to score as low as a -3 but haven't been able to get that down consistently, and had even seen myself scoring -10's on PT's leading up to the July test. Also, I can imagine I didn't do as well in LR as I would have liked, I was having confidence errors before the test and although I've scored a few -0 to -3's before, my average was more like -4 to -6, mostly losing points on harder questions. I started to get a skipping strategy down and implemented that on test day and for RC, I was focusing on the Trainer's reading for structure methods while writing very short summaries of each paragraph during the read. I do admit my blind review's probably were not up to par, I started to find that I was having so many confidence errors that I was blind reviewing questions I got right and totally skipping those I got wrong, so I started to let blind review go for the last month or so before the test. Also, I have a ton of trouble learning from the mistakes I make during the test and really internalizing how not to make those mistakes again in the future.
If anyone has any advice on any of these things, please reach out! I've reached out to a few tutors already and I'm hoping I can hit my goal of 170s eventually. I've been studying for this test for so long and I won't let it defeat me!
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?
Hi I am scheduled to take the lsat flex and was wondering if i automatically am signed up for the writing or if i have to sign up for it?
Does anyone know if the LSAT administered in Madrid in October will be a flex?
Has LSAC given any outlook whatsoever? Or restarted the conversation around administering the test in small, distanced group settings?
I took the July Flex after 3 months of everyday studying for the LSAT through a different prepcourse. I am wondering how to approach using 7sage to improve my score for a retake, the amount of content is a little overwhelming.
I took the lsat in June and am taking it again in October. Should I still take a diagnostic or go off my June score?
Hoping to run into a fellow SUSI alumni here. I'm an international applicant who previously attended a US institution for five-weeks through a government funded program as an undergrad. The courses were neither graded nor credited but when I emailed LSAC about it they responded that I would have to request the transcript (which I believe is nonexistent) anyway. Did anyone have to deal with this kind of issue?
Hey guy! Im registered for the oct test. I have taken 5 PTs in July and managed to score between 159-161 ( LR -6, LG -5 RC -7 BR 164) in all of them. I have been blind reviewing and maintaining a error journal. Im starting to get really frustrated about my lack of progress. Can anyone who was in a similar place recommend what they did differently to see an increase?
For those who has gotten to experience LSAT FLEX, is there some constant background noise from Proctor U? I am used to take digital LSAT with the proctor and background noise feature on, to the point it has become a stimulator for me, but I wonder would LSAT FLEX be a very silent experience.
Thank you!
I'm registered for August and October and realized my home environment is too unstable (and noisy). I know LSAC will pay for a hotel room. Just wondering how it works? I understand there is a $115 limit? Do you pay for it and get reimbursed?
If I plan on taking the LSAT in the Fall, should I take prep tests using the Flex feature or take them normally?
Hi all,
I'm planning to take the Oct LSAT and am looking for a tutor to help me get over the plateau I seem be on in LR. I've reached out to a few people here directly but haven't heard back. Hoping that taking it to the group will yield some results. Please shoot me a PM if you're available for hire. Or, if anyone has a person they recommend please comment and let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Is anyone else struggling with trying to get peace and quiet at home? I had to quit a prep test in the CC today because no matter how hard I try, I can get total quiet at my house. I'm very worried about taking the lsat flex in these conditions but everything is shut down.
I'm looking for a list of events that I can attend on the 7sage website and I can't find any.
I remember the highlight feature was pretty buggy on the digital tablet form of the test (pre-covid). Is the highlight feature more reliable with the flex? I'll be using a wireless mouse.
hi does anyone know when we will receive the email from LSAC to sign up for Proctor U for the August lsat flex?
My actual score for PT drilling has been staying relatively the same, I have gotten a couple 160s but for the most part it is staying in the high 150s. But when I do my BR I am getting mid 160s. My BR scores from my earlier PTs to my most recent have increased by about 10 points so I can see improvement in understanding, but it is not translating to my actual score. Has anyone noticed the same or have any advice?

Can someone on the 7Sage team confirm that the scores reported when simulating an LSAT Flex are accurate? What is the methodology?
Any strategies/tips/advice on closing BR gap?
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!!
