As slow and as stupid as possible: THEREBY can such a one nevertheless go very far.

Those LR look really tight. I’m sure you can make nice gains in RC.
What were your section scores like before you took your break?
Did you study or drill before getting back into prep test or was this a fresh take?
Is there any data on how this affects test scores?
There are people with huge Duolingo streaks that can’t speak their studied language.
I’m worried about reinforcing bad habits.
No. If you cancel it everyone will think you scored wayyy lower.
Cancel would hurt you more than a 158 could.
@Pspspsps It does, have you tried?

I asked it about Canadian schools, it said, "It makes complete sense that you are curious about this, NoName92. Since you literally live in the Greater Toronto Area right now, looking at Canadian law schools isn't just an "idea"—it is arguably one of the most practical, financially responsible backup plans you could possibly have.
If you are open to shifting your goal from "US Federal Prosecutor (AUSA)" to "Canadian Crown Attorney" (the Canadian equivalent of a state/federal prosecutor), staying in the GTA has some massive advantages that perfectly align with your desire for a stable, 9-5 work-life balance.
Here is why applying to Canadian schools in the GTA is a brilliant idea, and how your numbers stack up:
1. The Ultimate "Debt Minimizer" The biggest advantage of staying in Canada for law school is the cost. Even the most expensive law school in Canada (the University of Toronto) is significantly cheaper than most private US law schools. If you go to an Ontario law school as a domestic student, you will graduate with a fraction of the debt you would have in the US. Less debt means you can comfortably take a 9-5 government job without stressing over loan payments.
2. The GTA Law Schools & Your Odds (Targeting 168) Canadian law school admissions are notoriously competitive because there are far fewer schools than in the US. However, a 3.67 GPA combined with a 168 LSAT makes you a highly competitive applicant.
Osgoode Hall (York University): Located right in the GTA. It is one of the oldest and most prestigious law schools in Canada, with a massive alumni network and incredible placement in government and public interest law. With a 3.67 and a 168, you would be a very strong candidate here.
University of Toronto (UofT): The absolute top-ranked school in Canada, located downtown. It is extremely competitive (their median GPA is usually around a 3.8+). Even with a 168, UofT would be a Reach for you due to the GPA, but absolutely worth an application.
Lincoln Alexander School of Law (Toronto Metropolitan University): Located right in downtown Toronto, this is a newer school heavily focused on practical, hands-on legal training and technology. Your numbers would make you highly competitive here.
Slightly outside the GTA: Schools like Western University (London) or Queen's University (Kingston) are phenomenal, highly respected programs that are just a short train ride from Toronto.
3. The Career Pivot: Crown Attorney If you want purposeful work, trial experience, and government benefits, becoming a Crown Attorney in Ontario offers the exact same lifestyle as becoming an AUSA in the States. You get excellent job security, a clear pension and pay scale, holidays off, and you never have to worry about the billable-hour hustle of BigLaw.
The Strategy: Dual Applications Because you have dual citizenship, you don't actually have to choose right now! You can build a "Hybrid" application strategy this fall:
Apply to your US Target/Safeties (Ohio State, George Washington, Temple) to chase the AUSA dream and see who gives you the best scholarship.
Apply to the Ontario schools (Osgoode, UofT, TMU) to keep your roots in the GTA and give yourself a low-debt Canadian option.
Since you are aiming for that 168 in September, you will have the score to open doors on both sides of the border. How does the idea of being a Crown Attorney in Toronto compare in your mind to being an AUSA in Ohio or Pennsylvania?
I was just asking the AI about potential schools last night 😂 It was able to provide me a school list, some of which I was familiar with, and others that are new interests for me.
When I have looked at school myself I look at those with LSAT averages under 160.. the AI tool looks at my 168 target score, a 171 blind review, and directs me to top regional schools, but none of my current targets which are around rank 100.
I would recommend feeding the tool relevant personal information. I am still undecided on where or what to study, but I have interest in both federal and state systems. I found it helpful to continue the conversation. I provided my current living situation, my outlook on life, previous career experience and future wants/desires. There is a lot to consider in terms of where to study, what type of law, etc.
I know that I do not want to grind the big law hours, not that I am shy to hard work. I would prefer a 9-5 balance with weekends, holidays, and vacations. I am older now and interested in public service work, so the school list provided highlighted those institutions. Looking into public service it is important I get court experience, and there is also sensitivity to finances.
I let it know that I have aspirations to become an AUSA. It is a competitive position and there are certain areas you need to be attuned with to have that potential. Connecting together that part brought in a new range of schools, with pathway to federal courts, and even some directly in the DMV beltway.
It engaged heavily with me about AUSA pathways. It mentioned that since I want to go into public service that scholarships and financing will be more important.. but what it did not mention was the PSLF (Public Service Loan Forgiveness), something I considered key in opting for that career pathway.
There are plenty of tools and accessibility features that your unique perspective and way of interacting with the world should not be a problem. I hope this would not become a barrier for anyone.
There are tablets with e-pen integration that will allow you to write notes by hand like we see in the video explanations. It can then convert your hand written script into computer text.
Personally I opted for ebooks whenever possible. Let me make the pitch.
1) light weight. No more carrying books around.
2) it’s in the cloud, always accessible.
3) notes are a lot easier. You can screenshot. You can highlight in color.
4) search function can save time
🤣 I was just explaining my schedule to the ai for advice on how to structure my week. It did not mention daily study hours, but when asked it gave me helpful guidance.
👋I use it mainly for the exercise.
I think part of the issue is I dont know really how to review them. Review like this is not a normal skill I have developed, I’m not sure how to engage with it really or where to begin.
At times I discuss and look at breakdown from AI
Rumor is 7Sage is working on integrating a WAJ directly into the platform 👀
Use the search function to browse through 7Sage discussions as to how other users engage with a WAJ. Some have provided templates, and there has been some good tutor feedback.
I have a post in the Discussions asking how to further engage with my WAJ, & look at this amazing reply!
For now I have been using a Word processor as my WAJ. It would be really nice to have that WAJ built in and utilize our analytics. For now I just add labels and use search function.
It would take some extra work, but in Microsoft Word you could use Navigation Pane with Headers to label sections. You would have to manually organize them, and it doesn't let you sort. With that you could collect them by question type.
I am looking forward to a built in WAJ for categorization to pinpoint weaknesses. I am not good at organizing and sorting my own notes.
Here is my process now:
1) Flag Question in 7Sage
2) Screenshot passage into WAJ & label.
3) Log my thought process to catalog what I was thinking and did while answering the question.
Do this immediately while memory is fresh, and be honest.
4) Watch explanation to understand correct interpretation.
5) Begin self assessment to identify where the thinking went wrong.
6) Craft plan on how to avoid traps, and anticipate correct choices.
7) Usually I do not review during downtime, mostly get benefit from the exercise itself, not reviewing after completed.
I hope that when the WAJ is integrated they provide some content explaining how to engage fully with it because I feel like there is further I could go with the exercise.
Can you ask them about class sizes for us? 😂 Law hub says they have like 80 faculty on staff but the class sizes are only around 150, this has been drastically cut from the 300 prior. It seems like they have cut off the bottom half of the incoming class to boost their rankings.
That and the school has gone through significant changes following the recent MSU football Larry Nasser sex scandal. Probably avoid that unless you want to really pry the lid open.
I will say that if MSU is your safety pick than it isn't really a realistic last shot option.. that would be Cooley.
You should appreciate that MSU is a lot more difficult now than it has been. They have really upped the requirements and cut the classes sizes.
Why MSU? Why Michigan?
I really like the prospects from Detroit Mercy, and Cleveland State University is a fine place as well.
Looking at your profile I think you should reach out to Cleveland State University and other schools in Ohio, they're very nice. Since you have interest in MSU and Duquesne I would recommend looking into more Pennsylvania schools like Drexel, Penn St., and Pittsburgh.
I am not sure how viable 2026 start is. You might need to begin adjusting expectations for 2027 start, try to have application in ASAP when they open this fall.
Check out that video posted by 7Sage: 7Sage | Discussion
Okay so I had too come back here to support this request.. and allow me some visual aids:
This is what I have to look at using my 32" widescreen monitor.. it requires a lot of head turning/eye shifting which can be exhausting and not efficient. Coming from someone who did supply chain work with multiple large screens, I am already fatigued.
Now look at the same page after I have answered the question, it goes back to the old format.
Now we are not demanding the old version, or do away with the new LSAT version..
Notice how the second example is anchored to the middle of the page, with a large border buffering the content so it all remains in compact and easily viewable.
To achieve anything close to the second example I now have to resize my web browser. This is a very poor fix since it leaves the edges of my screen exposed to whatever is there. Also since I use a QD-OLED monitor I do not like keeping still images for long periods due to the risk of burn in on the screen.
Ideally when using 7Sage I would like to have my web browser in full screen mode for my full immersion so that I can remove the distractions from the tool bar, avoid unintentionally clock watching, and the impulse to click onto something else.
Since the update I can no longer do that. Using my PC with the 32" monitor feels a lot less comfortable now. I've now come to prefer using the iPad app.
The site looks great still and the update is mostly not noticeable on my laptop, but on the bigger screen it is not comfortable to use without borders in place to bring all the text closer together and in center.
@ColinH05 do you leave the comparative passage for last? If it came up 2nd would you skip and leave for last for timing?
@esb23238 hopefully they got a nice little payday!
🎯 Realistic takeaway
This video has probably earned between $25 and $80 total since 2019.
Unless the channel has unusually high RPM (finance, business, tech), it’s almost certainly closer to the $30–$50 range.
📌 So what’s the probability this specific video earned nothing?
Given:
It’s from 2019
It has only ~26k views
It’s not from a major channel
It’s not in a high‑CPM niche
The odds are fairly high that the uploader earned little or nothing.
Realistically:
Chance it earned $0:
40–70% depending on the channel’s size and content type.
Chance it earned something small:
30–60%, likely in the $20–$80 range if monetized.
@SofiaFuentes it seems like a necessary exercise we must all push through. as nice as it is to approach things at 100%, law school will not allow us that much time as we want to be comfortable.
A big challenge of the LSAT as well is the attrition, working through could help to build up those muscles to have the stamina on test day.
@cbraissi4 oh they love to go out of their way to spotlight URM. Notice the 3 example Spotlight passages given all center around liberal politics, you will never get a conservative approach or advocacy. They will always have a strong liberal vibe, and usually highly cosmopolitan. You need to be prepared to parse through the ideology to stick what is actually said in the passage or else the trap answers will become tempting.
You could resize the browser window.
Are you asking for a way to add a border so it doesn’t run from edge to edge?
@decriminalizemarijuana he’s been foreshadowing this glass question so much I was hyped to see it
@EthanSegerman this is where tactics on test day become important. Imagine seeing this at Question 21.. you still have more questions to go through, this would be a good one to skip and come back to.
Indeed, KY even says in previous lesson that unless you have a good grasp on the foundational skills to probably outright avoid these questions.
I think it is very important to note where in the LSAT this question appeared.
This was Q7. Right at the beginning, within those first 10 we expect to be easy, quick, and should be able to answer.
Yet clearly that is not always the case. It is a difficulty 5 question that most people have gotten wrong.
Man yall make everyone else feel like a failure for not scoring 180.
It’s not T14 or die.
You can still pursue an LLM after your JD. I’ve seen it suggested that LLM or MS programs are a lot more accepting since they do not count towards the school ranking.
You could get your JD and hide behind the T14 name adding on LLM. I’ve seen people who don’t really publicize where they got their JD, but went to better school for undergrad and make being that alumni their personality.
The thing with T14 clout chasers seem to only worry about making money.
I’ve yet to see someone name drop T14 specifically because it is nearly necessary for the coveted politicized positions.
Do you only have one specific program in mind at a certain T14?
People don’t really care about where you got the MS like a JD, and where you got your JD is only becomes really important if you specifically want a certain placement.
Your scores now aren’t a problem, try not to worry so much. You aren’t behind the development curve, you are progressing on track. The LSAT is really really hard and I believe patience is necessary when building the skills to achieve a good result. Think of it as a life lesson, while also imbibing you with the skill that will carry over into law school.
1) Do all the course content.
2) Make sure to Blind Review.
The Blind Review will expose gaps in knowledge.
If you are not scoring well in Blind Review than that means there are fundamental concepts you are not getting yet, or LSAT quarks you haven’t adapted to like the trap answer or just knowing how to approach question types.
If you are scoring well in Blind Review than it is not a knowledge thing, it is execution.
From there it is a matter of time spent practicing which will slowly bring improvements.
Drill. Like a kid trying to make it into the NBA. Drill. Drill. Review and WAJ to address mistakes. Drill so we can execute.
You keep at it, and it begins to become more naturally. Then like someone who has put in the work, when the ball comes to you, you won’t hesitate, you will know what to do, be able to react, and choose what you wanna do at that time. Do we wanna dribble it up/POE, shoot now/anticipate the answer, pass/pass. You will know what move to do, and when. Kobe!
