Advice

I am in the sticky middle of my LSAT studying and need some advice. For context, I took a diagnostic in October 2021 got a 140, then I took the August LSAT '21 (148), then again in November '21 (152). I studied consistently from October up until November and am now picking up consistency until the August LSAT. I have been taking 1 pt a week and blind reviewing then reviewing it the day after. I seem to get stuck in the hard and harder LR questions and can't seem to fully grasp parallel flaw question types. I went through the entire CC once but maybe I should go through it again. I can't seem to get higher than 156 and break into the160's. Does anyone have any tips on what to do?

Before I started focusing on improving my LG/RC I was averaging about ~8-10 missed on LR sections combined. Spent around 2 weeks bringing my LG/RC to a point where I'm getting ~2-4 wrong on LG and ~4-5 wrong on RC. I just took a full PT and missed 10 on a single LR section... any tips for getting back into the groove of things without seeing my work with LG/RC suffer?

I found myself second guessing a lot of my answers, especially when I was between 2 answer choices on LR, and of those questions many were either NA or SA questions. Any tips would be appreciated! I'm signed up for the September LSAT so the pressures on lol

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 :)

Hello 7Sage Community,

I just wanted some feedback doing problem sets. I have the Ultimate+ package and so I have all of the problem sets but would you recommend doing all of the problem sets or save some so that you may come back to certain question types you are struggling with so you can drill them?

Hey there,

I've been looking over the LSAC website and noticed their list of schools in Canada that offer a J.D and the list of schools in Australia that offer a J.D as well.

Is it really possible for me as an American to attend a law school in another country, attain a degree and then practice law and live there?? If so, I'm really going to consider it.

Any help would be appreciated, and while I wait for a response I'll see what google has to say haha.

Thanks in advance.

Recently on a reddit post I found people saying it was okay to use command F on the flex test for RC and refer back to a specific part on a passage. This sounded kind of "sus" to me but I wanted to make sure and ask people here that might know. But if it is allowed that would be a major hack for myself and I'm sure many others, as I often have an idea of what a question is referring too and all i need is a way to quickly go back to that exact part in the passage and confirm my thoughts.

Hi gang,

I have been trying my best to implement a low-res summary approach to my RC passages. However, I find that taking time to perform these low res summaries takes some precious time away from actually answering questions. Is one word sufficient enough for something like a low res summary? Any tips out there for time reduction?

Sincerely,

Your Friendly LSAT Studier

Hey guys,

The last few weeks I’ve been trying to fool proof the logic games section and I stopped reviewing my lr notes.

I dont know what to do because I literally forgot a lot of stuff. Should I restart the lr section of the cc?

I forgot how to answer a lot of the questions. I’m not sure what to do. And if I do remember how to it’s really rusty.

I work full time I’m not exactly sure how to approach the lr section this time. While continueing to move forward reading comp after the logic games.

Any advise will help.

Thanks guys

I was WL by HLS. Really happy!

If anyone has experiences of what it is like to be on wait list for HLS schools, LMK.

Already submitted my LOCI. My favorite professor at Columbia University (got an A+ and worked alot together this year) wants to submit another letter of rec because she did not write one since i was not done with her course during my application period. Even tho HLS generally advises against this, should I do it? Should I call them up to ask or just send in a compelling LOR?

I don't know if this is common, but I have seen great improvements in logic games especially, now averaging around a minus 2, and similar (but not as extreme) increases in LR. Oddly enough though my RC has been dropping and I find myself more confused than ever.

Based on recent tests and how 7sage grades question difficulty, does anyone know what the average (mean) question difficulty would be around? My guess would be around 3 (medium) but I am curious if anyone knows for sure.

I started studying hard after I bombed the June test. I feel really good about testing next week. Since I started 7sage, my scores are all increasing. Today, I did the actual test from June and scored 13 points higher. Has anyone had patterns of success here but after completing the real test, failed to show growth? I feel confident that I have improved but afraid that I might mess it up. Test Anxiety is real.

Hoping Perception is reality.

Would love to hear feedback from folks who have been here before...I am applying this cycle for Fall 2020 start. I’ll be 30 when I do start and prefer not to delay applying any longer (military background) and really want to start on this next phase of my life becoming a lawyer.

I took in 2016 and scored a 161. I took the July and canceled after I scored a 157. After a lot of time and studying I was PTing 164-168 fairly consistently. Yesterday’s test felt more difficult for me but not enough to cancel. I honestly don’t know where it will fall though; gut feel is on the lower end but fingers crossed.

Because I have the July cancel, I have a voucher for a free retake. Should I sign up for January and if November comes back with a score I can be ok with, I could just not take January? I have almost all of my application materials complete besides a couple LORs and school specific essays. I am likely going to apply to GULC early decision. My plan was to hit send on apps before the new year. If I wait till January then I’m delaying that by at least 6 weeks and applying late in the game. Scholarships are not really a priority, just desire getting into the best school I can to go into BigLaw.

Also, last but not least...I really don’t have the willpower or desire to push myself like I did from July to November. I had mixed emotions leaving the test, but the good was all to do with being done and moving on. However I also recognize I let the pressure get to me more than it should have on this test and I could do better. Any thoughts or stories for perspective would be helpful!
