@ I would totally recommend using 7Sage as your prep! J.Y. has different explanations and strategies that I personally thought made more sense than Powerscores. I felt that Powerscore gives more like a broad overview of the test but 7Sage really broke down the reasoning in a more detailed way.

Thanks guys!! I'll let you know if I do get something, fingers crossed!

@ @

University of Georgia

I did send them an email about the score increase asking if it would make me eligible for any scholarship

@ yes after reading your comments I'm definitely going with my original plan and will attend the ED school! Especially since they saw potential in me from the very beginning :) Also like you said don't want the bad karma and to tarnish my name before even starting law school.

Hopefully I can use the better score to ask if I can now be considered for a merit scholarship, although do you think I have a good shot at scholarship money since I don't have any other offers to use as leverage? (The binding ED made me withdraw all other law apps).

@ thank you for the info!

What exactly were you trying to explain on your addendum? The 13 point increase? Usually addendum's for LSAT scores are to explain a low score or score decease, but a 13 point increase is defintley something to be proud of!

@ that is amazing you got a perfect score on LG!! Very impressive :open_mouth: Just curious, how long did you study for the Sept test and how long did it take for you to full proof LG?

And I totally agree with you, the $170 was worth every penny. It's crazy that Powerscore charges $175 PER MONTH.

@ I went through the 7Sage starter pack and completed the core curriculum. It took me about a month and a half. The first two weeks I only did the curriculum, so I could solely focus on the content and took detailed notes of everything.

Then I started doing a practice test once a week.

I actually used the practice tests I downloaded through Powerscore since they had newer tests than the 7Sage starter package, and I didn't want to pay extra for newer test explanations from 7Sage (sorry I'm cheap).

After the practice test I would take 2-3 days to review all the missed questions on my test. I used this website for explanations:

https://lsathacks.com/explanations/

I was really generous with my time reviewing. I always wrote down the explanations next to the answer choices and really focused on why the other answer choices were wrong, not only why the correct answer was correct.

While going through the 7sage course I printed out all of the problem sets and would go over the questions I missed every other day until I got them right repeatedly. This helped tremendously with logic games which was my weakest section.

So a typical day of studying consisted of working through the core curriculum, going over questions and games I got wrong from before, and reviewing explanations from practice tests.

I studied 6 days of the week for about 4-5 hours a day and always took Sunday off. Before when I was studying for the September LSAT I was forcing myself to study 7-8 hours a day and quickly burned out. I really suggest not studying for longer than 5 hours a day! Anymore than that is overkill and by that point my brain couldn't retain anymore information.

After I got through the core curriculum I dedicated most of my time to logic games (my weakest section), and practiced all the games I had from previous practice tests and the problem sets on 7Sage. (I never was able to full proof logic games, but I practiced them enough so that I was at least familiar with the different types and didn't panic when I saw them on test day). I used both J.Y.'s video explanations and lsathacks explanations because sometimes there is more than one way to solve a game!

I did take one or two days a week to focus just on reading comp or logical reasoning to make sure I didn't forget the fundamentals. I also continued taking a practice test once a week. But most days were dedicated solely to logic games.

Of course after a couple of practice tests you can use 7Sage analytics to identify your weak sections, then adjust your study plan accordingly.

Hope I explained this well enough and please let me know if I wasn't clear on something. Best of luck to you on your LSAT journey!

Thank you! Congratulations to you as well! Kinda wish we both knew about 7Sage earlier but everything happens for a reason right ;)

Same story!

I scored a 151 in September, way below my PT average and I was devastated. Switched from Powerscore to 7Sage and just got my December score of 162!!! That's an 11 point increase in less than three months!

So like you said before, anyone can do it! Don't let anyone tell you it's impossible because it's not!

Like Alex said, depends on the school. If you're applying for a T14 school I'd imagine that retaking the LSAT for a better score would be your best bet. A lot of people don't want to "waste" their high GPA.

Although, for what it's worth, I was in the same position you were in (very high GPA above the schools 75% but LSAT score below 25%) and was accepted to my first choice which was a regional school in the top 30. Just make sure you have a killer personal statement/resume/diversity statement/recommendation letters

@ @

Just curious what made y'all choose/like UGA law? Is it comparable with Emory in Atlanta?
