99, what'd you score on your last 2 Lsats, and how long did you study for them, respectively. I want accurate timelines if possible, and of course, congrats. Now the work begins.
Final two LSATs were 170 and 169 (my official June score). I went -6 RC, -1 LR, Experimental LG as third section which I totally bombed, -3 LR, and -0 LG.
I began studying by taking a Powerscore course in July 2016, planned to take the September 2016. My diagnostic score was a 146. I took three exams over the course of the next couple months while doing virtually no homework. My score increased by about 6-8 points just by reading over the materials with the instructor guiding us with lectures. My instructor would later become my tutor. September rolled around and I decided I would not take the exam.
Other than the exams I've taken during the Powerscore course, which were full, 5-section exams, I've only taken about 2-3 other full, 5-section exams. Prior to the February exam, I sat myself for three 4-section exams over the course of two days. I scored 160, 160, 162. I wasn't ready for February, so I withdrew my registration the night before the exam. I didn't take any other four or five section exams until I had that 170, which was a 4-section exam.
I went insane on the LSAT and devoured everything I could by doing LR and LG by type. I was downright obsessive for a long time about the differences between LR types and especially LG board types. Towards the end, I reliably did 5-8 LG sections per day, timed. When I did LR, it was more like 4-6 sections per day. I slacked on RC (hence the -6), but I still surprised myself with the 21. I think I've posted my so-called 'stats' before, but to me they seem silly. I killed myself over this test lol.
Something like 1000-1200 LG sections equivalent, timed and untimed. I can't recall how many LR but at least 200 sections, timed and untimed.
Oh, and I sat for the Digital LSAT in May, which I scored something like a 163 on because they made me us use a pen for LG........
Sorry guys, I might be a little 'tired' right now. ha
Thank you for such a detailed response. And thank you for your honesty. Sometimes, from my experience, high scores are shady about how much time they actually spent studying and practicing. So I appreciate your honesty, after all, we all know the lsat is not easy. I'm new to 7sage and am already in love with the program/content. Took my first diagnostic yesterday, scored a 152. I need a long way to go. Thanks for putting in perspective what it takes to crush the lsat. I've already printed part of your response and posted it on my wall (not facebook wall, my actual wall) haha Thanks again for the response, and Congrats on your score and accomplishment. #MakeMommaProud

Let em' know about us, 99. Let em' know about the 7Sage community : )
Hello 7sagers,
My name is Alex, and I will hopefully being applying to law school next year. After my undergrad, I decided to take some time off the academics and work full time. I worked for almost 4 years. My question to the community is this, I would prefer having letters of recommendations written by my former professors instead of my former employers, but I don't think any of my professors could even pick me out of a line up. How should I handle the situation?
I would recommend practicing Logic Games and Reading Comp. further down the core curriculum before testing.
