Hi everyone,

I'm taking the LSAT on the 12th and I made a routine for myself and I can see why it can help get me in a more reflexive mindset for the day of the test and minimize anxiety. But I was wondering what I should do in terms of LSAT specific work. Should I put in an hour or two at the time that I'll be taking the test each day leading up? I've done about 50 PTs over the past 2.5 months so this would be a significant cutback and I think it might be a good strategy, but I've also heard people say take a few days off each day which I could also see being helpful because I do feel fresher after a couple day break. I'm thinking I might do a couple hours per day for the next 2-3 days, a day off, maybe 1-2 hours for the next 2 days, 2 days off, and then an hour each day the 2 days before the test. Any thoughts on that plan? I've also cut out alcohol and made sure my schedule has meditation and exercise built in which I think will help me. Thanks so much!

    Hi,

    I'm an international student registered for the November LSAT. I was planning to take the test in the US, but unfortunately I'm not able to fly the States this month due to unforeseen circumstances and was going to reschedule the exam to January before the test date change deadline.

    I just received an email from LSAC saying that my address/time zone listed on my candidate file is located outside of the US (I haven't updated my US testing location address yet), and if I don't reply and confirm the physical address from which I will be testing before this Sunday, my "November LSAT registration will be rescinded and the test registration fees, if applicable, will be refunded."

    In this case, should I just not reply to the email to get a $200 refund (not sure if I'm applicable for the refund) and register for the January LSAT before November 11 instead of rescheduling the test date?

    Will the cancellation go on my record file and count towards a lifetime limit?

    I want to make sure I'm not violating any rules.. :) Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    I plan to apply to law schools in the fall of 2023. I don't plan to take the LSAT until the summer of 2023, but I've seen a lot of news on the past application cycle and this application cycle having large quantities of high-scoring applicants (thought to be because of the online version of the LSAT). In general, my question is this: Do many people take the LSAT then sit on their score and apply in later cycles? I ask because I wonder if this large quantity of high scorers will affect the difficulty of the 2023 application cycle.

    I applied to HYSCCN and was rejected 2 times a few years ago. Lsat 171.

    My lsat is 5 years old and I find computer-based test much harder, so unsure I can beat it.

    I wanted to change career to law from SW engineering, but the rejections were hard.

    The opportunity cost of leaving SWE job was worth only for T6.

    I'm wondering what other possible degree can provide similar level of intellectual energy as a JD.

    Anyone in similar boat?

    What did you do?

    Hi Everyone!

    The past few weeks, I have gotten into the habit of taking two practice tests a weekend because I work full time, and it's draining to do practice tests after work. I then spend the time in between (weekdays, mostly) completing the BR. This seemed to be working okay until this last weekend where I realized I got way too overconfident on LR and bombed all four sections I took. Do you guys think it's best to take one test and fully complete the BR before taking the next one? Or do you think the way I am doing it now makes sense?

    Thanks for your input and for being a great group of supportive people!

    So I am stuck between what to choose on the various LSAT sections on the questions I don't get to. For example, Dave Killoran from PowerScore says to choose "D" 1-20 on LR when in doubt, and "E" on the last 5. JY says to choose "B" when in doubt on 1-20 and "E" on the last 5 for LR.

    Note, JY uses data from PREPTEST 58 (Sept 2009 ) onwards, while Dave uses data from Nov 1991. Which one is more reliable?

    Here are the sources for both opinions:

    Hey everyone, I am new to 7sage and I am just wondering if the problem sets in the core curriculum should be done all at once. I have been trying to find out if I should save them or knock them all off at once. I am only two weeks into my study but I am getting a little bored with the problem sets. I think it is because I did study for a few months a few years ago so I think maybe I know the fundamentals and should keep the problem sets for when I am confused. Or if I find out I have a problem with a question type later on. I was hoping someone could tell me what they do.

    I was wondering if anyone had ideas about things to do in your free time or like on the bus. Does sudoku really help? I play a lot of chess and thought that would maybe help. Aside from that probably getting exercise would help keep your mind sharp.

    I'm waiting on my second LOR, and I have a few questions.

  • Is it worth it to wait if I already have one LOR submitted?

  • Is it possible/advisable to add the second LOR after I've submitted my application if/when the recommender finally comes through (lets assume it happens within a week or two of applying)?

    Hey everyone,

    Since the LSAT adopted the modern 3-scored-section / 75-raw-question test, the raw score to percentiles conversion from the old 4-scored-section tests are no longer accurate. Can you help us figure out the new conversion tables?

    If you took the August, October, or November LSAT, please send us (studentservice@7sage.com or my inbox) an anonymized screenshot of your official LSAT score.

    Here's the table that we've built based on student score reports so far:

    Thank you so much for your help!

    Anyone who has done or is currently doing the admissions course with 7 Sage? if so, what are your experiences? Strengths? Weaknesses? Likes or Dislikes? Comments? I am specifically looking for help on my personal statement provided by the course. I am contemplating purchasing the $200 package with the full course and the one time edit. I would love any type of feedback before I am make my decision!

    I am not really certain how legal education works, but I know bars are state specific. If one goes out of state school, nearby, would we then have harder time preparing for bar. Again, I am not sure how legal education goes but assuming schools of specific state would give preference to teaching laws of that state to prepare students for that state bar. Any inputs would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Hey y'all! I am 3 weeks into my LSAT study prep and I'm wondering whether the study schedule or syllabus option is best. I have just been going though the syllabus every day and while its working, I don't know if I should be focusing more on how the study schedule sets up the material. Is it fine to just go through the syllabus or should I abide by the study schedule they generate? I am planning to take the test in 3-6 months.
