Congrats u/TeklaTch! Happy posting and let me know any questions in the comments.

It really sucks how often MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) is excluded from race/ethnicity. I know federally it's categorized as "white," but the racism I've faced growing up and my very ethnic name beg to differ lolol. LSAC also has a MENA category. I would really love to also identify as MENA and find other MENA students. We are such an underrepresented group, and I am curious how other MENA people are writing about their background in essays and what you guys are selecting under race. I personally do not want to use white because I am not... and the whole categorization of MENA as white is super outdated. This was a ramble!!! But 7sage staff if u see this can u plz add MENA category <333 and also if ur MENA as well if you can comment below what your identifying as ( I know LSAC has MENA but not sure about individual law schools) and how u plan to discuss ur background greatly appreciated

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you're having a good start to the week. I need some advice on the additional addenda for my applications, particularly the Gap in Resume and Explaining LSAT Score.

  1. I have a gap in my resume since I graduated from college back in May to focus on my LSAT studies, and the funny thing is that I got hired yesterday for a new job. However, I know I cannot add it because I actually haven't worked yet or gained experience. So my question is: Do I write an addendum explaining why I haven't worked since grad? Or is this only for a year or so gap in my resume?

  2. I have a lower LSAT score than some of the schools I'm applying to (cause their median is in the 170s, high 160s). Do I write an addendum explaining my lower score and how my high GPA shows I can be a great student? Or is the addendum just for increases in my score if I took it twice?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

😖 Frustrated

lsat burnout???

Hi guys! I've been studying since January, and I took the August test, and I did okay. I could do better, but it was my first time! Anyway, I'm still studying to retake the LSAT in November, but I am so unmotivated, ugh! I'm still sticking by my study schedule, but I dread when it's time to study and feel like it's somewhat impacting the quality of how I study because I'm essentially "over it." I am going to apply this cycle no matter what; I just need a 3-point increase for the November test, and I am going to keep pushing through with my studying, but does anyone have any motivational advice?

Title pretty much does it. :)

I'm a reverse splitter (4.0/166), so I know I have to lock in with the rest of my application, and I've never really seen a good criterion for grading soft factors on the T scale. So if you guys don't mind, tell me what you think :)

Got my AA at 15 with a 4.0 and finished my UG in psychology at 16 summa cum laude with a 4.0 as well. Made the Chancellor's list/president's list in all my semesters, and I am doing an internship directly for an NC Senate member. I also worked in a graduate student/PhD-only lab for 3 semesters (at uni) and have about 3 years of work experience. I'm currently 17

If you take the time to respond I really appreciate your feedback, thanks!

I’m really upset right now because 7sage had been charging me for a subscription since June even though I completely stopped using its premium features because I couldn’t since it had been a year since I purchased the LSAC material. 7sage gave me the notification that I could not use my account without having the LSAC material so I took it to mean I was no longer subscribed to the premium. But I was wrong and now have been charged for over 5 months. How can I get a refund??

It takes a little bit of time to get used to. But after one day of drilling, I've gotten used to it and I prefer not having to hover over a menu title to open more menus. Not sure if this existed in the old layout, but now I can easily access the "Games" page from "Study".

Tips for reviewing

Hey everyone, I am a couple months into my LSAT journey and I will soon be finished going through the core curriculum(LR, RC, and Argumentative Writing). I was wondering if anyone has any tips on reviewing? Once I finish with the curriculum, I want to spend a lot of time reviewing, but I would like to know some tips that anyone may have concerning this. Thanks!

Logic Link Game - Successful!

Good morning everyone,

I am sharing this post because I want to encourage all of you as well as myself! :)

It has been about 3 weeks since I began my LSAT prep with 7 Sage. At first, I totally had no idea what to study or where to start.

I am currently working at an accounting firm in the US and during the break timed, I have practiced the Logic Link Game.

At first, I didn't even know what the sufficient and necessary conditions were and I couldn't pass even the easiest one as a natural consequence.

However, just a week later, distinguishing bewteen necessary and sufficient conditions has became a piece of cake YEAH!

I didn't expect this to happen so early but effort and time we put never betray us!

I sincerely encourage you all, and let's keep going!

With grace and peace,

God bless you!

(Thank you 7 Sage Team, always!)

Does anyone recommend a specific time to get there? The meet-and-greet portion is 10:30-12:00 and 1:30-4:00. I saw a Reddit post from 7 years ago saying that the crowds in the morning are INSANE, and it might be a little more strategic to go in the afternoon. Can anyone who has been to one before speak to this?

Beginning my Personal Statement

Good evening everybody!

I hope everyone is having a good start to the week. I need some feedback or guidance on how to go about my personal statement. My overall basis is going to be discussing on how I am interested in corporate law, contracts, estate planning and family law. The business side is because my degree was in accounting and I want to learn the basis behind corporations making deals but also protecting themselves. I am interested in family law because I feel a sense of protectiveness over family’s especially children. They are some of the most vulnerable members of our society and I wanna be a protector for them and ensure they get the care and support they need.

My issue comes from how I am supposed to start the statement. “Hi my name is Natalie and I’m interested in law school” or “business and family law are key interests for me”. I’ve only begun starting and I already feel like I’ve hit a wall. I understand I don’t have to write a sob story, not that I have one anyways to write, but I just wanna say “I’ve wanted to learn more about how our system works and how it’s apart of everyday life. I also wanna help people and ensure they don’t get taken advantage of” .

I also don’t have the ability to afford a tutor or someone to review my statement and give me feedback, so if anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and any feedback would be welcomed. Thank you for reading! -Nat

Possible Advice

hey all,

If your like me and in the weeds of applying, just took the LSAT, or just stressed about this process, I would like to just share a bit of advice, as someone who has a lot of experience with anxiety and catastrophizing.

  1. What's done is done. It's very easy to look back on this time and see the "missed opportunities" or the nights when you could have spent an extra hour studying or the info session you should have attended. that's all in the past and you can't let that impact you now. Even if you feel like you could have done more, you can't let that stop you from controling what you can now.

  2. This process is not all black and white. Even if you did not get the LSAT score you want, or your applying later than wanted, all this will "possibly do" is hurt your application a bit. This doesn't mean that you won't get into the school you want or, hopefully your mind isn't there, that you won't go to law school. It's not a light switch, it's a dimmer.

  3. Appreciate your progress. Myself, I know that I could have done better on the LSAT. But I also know I used to guess on half the questions in RC, that it would take me an hour to finish a LR section untimed. Now, if I guess on one question, I see that as a defeat. This is one of the most unintuitive, complicated, and demanding entrance exams out there and it takes a certain type of person to make any progress and stick with it.

  4. Take everything one step at a time, if you focus on getting to the peak then your doomed to fail, just focus on taking one step then the next one.

Had a bit of wave come over this morning and I find this line of thinking always helps me and it makes me feel good if I can try practicing what I preach so this is advice for me too!

Best of luck all!

Downtown Chicago (N. LaSalle St.) Prometric Center: October LSAT Experience & Tips

For anyone scheduled to take the LSAT at the downtown Chicago Prometric center on N. LaSalle Street, here is a quick breakdown of my experience this past Saturday. While the actual exam portion was highly organized, the initial check-in was quite hectic. I strongly recommend arriving at least 45 minutes early, if not sooner. If you cut it closer than that, the long check-in queue can add a lot of unnecessary stress right before your test. My slot was on a weekend, so it was likely more crowded than a typical weekday, but it is definitely something to keep in mind. Also, be aware that the 10-minute break between sections 2 and 3 flies by much faster than you would think, so watch the clock closely when stepping out to use the restroom or access your locker.

The actual testing room was great. The chairs were comfortable, the temperature was pleasant, the computer system ran smoothly, and I wasn't nearly as distracted by people coming and going as I thought I would be. However, I highly recommend bringing your own non-wired, foam earplugs (I got mine from CVS) because the over-ear headphones provided by the center are not great.

As a naturally anxious person, my nerves made it tough to focus on the first 2–3 questions. To handle this, I flagged those questions right away and moved on, which allowed me to easily return to them later once I had settled into a rhythm. I also found great benefits from practicing box-breathing between sections to reset my heart rate. For the break, make sure to pack a quick snack. Another poster recently mentioned that our brains run on sugar and the LSAT is incredibly draining, so I brought chocolate chip granola bars for a quick energy boost. Also, remember to peel the labels off your plastic water bottle before you arrive. I saw a few people get called out for this at check-in, and it’s just another minor, avoidable stressor you don't want to deal with.

Finally, don't be afraid to make a little bit of quiet small talk with other test-takers while you wait in line. Everyone is nervous, and cracking a quick joke or sharing a kind word really helped ease my own anxiety. We are all in the same boat, and it is easy to forget that. Trust your preparation—the fact that you are reading this shows you already care more than the average test-taker, and you should be incredibly proud of that. Good luck!
