General · Advice for Studying While Working Full Time

Perhaps you could share when you are planning to write the test? Since you started recently, a schedule would look very different if you are planning to write the June/August test or any of the later dates.

I assume you are currently working through the core curriculum, and if that is the case I would advise to dedicate at least an hr. after work and 4+ on Sat/Sun to complete the core curriculum asap.

After finishing the core curriculum, I would say dedicating 30 mins to even an hr. after work can be very helpful. That can be the drilling you do for specific sections. This way you can have the weekends for PT and BR. Heavy loading your weekends with drilling, PT and BR (for the PT) can be exhausting. Last thing you want is to not spend enough time reviewing or rushing through it. Best of luck!!

Admissions · T14 or Bust?

It is important for anyone to have their own definition success. If you go to law school, regardless of the career choice you will likely be "successful" to the average person. Success for some is Big Law or bust, for others its small to mid size firms or public office. Each with their advantages and drawbacks. No doubt that T14 will open doors not only immediately after but throughout one's career that other lower ranked schools may not, but it by no means guarantees that you will have a successful career. No firm is going to judge an excellent lawyer by their law school, their bottom line matters to them a lot more than the ranking of any law school.

@ enjoyed reading your perspective, it all made sense when you quoted Epictetus.

Hey, I was considering applying this year but I have also decided to wait and get the best possible score I can. I am sure many people are on the same boat as you. It is also best to take your time with these things and remind yourself that you made the right choice. I think a lot of people had a terrible year in 2020 and I feel that since Law School is a massive challenge in itself it is best to be in a position where you can go in and perform at your best. For me it would suck to work hard after terrible LSAT scores to get a great one, go to a good school and then not be able to perform to the best of your ability. I am also a terrible online learner and need the interaction one would get from a classroom to learn and perform to the best of my ability.

Please clear this confusion - Too many people with high LSAT's?

Hey guys, so I have been reading a few posts about people asking about their "chances" at some schools. These are people with high 160's and even 170's who have written the FLEX. They seem worried about such high scores (170+) and claim there are too many people with those scores since Flex. This is really confusing me because I felt the scoring was meant to ensure that not many people would be able to get those high scores, isn't grading something on a curve meant to ensure that is not the case. Perhaps I am confused or misunderstanding this or the posters are mistaken. If someone would clear this up I would really appreciate it.

I had taken a massive hiatus and am looking to begin prepping again to hopefully write the test end of year and many people claiming those high scores have become normal is a bit concerning.

General · Need Advice | I've been studying 4-6 months and seeing little improvement

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. Most people can certainly relate with your frustration. You have been prepping for a while now and its understandable that you expect improvement. Like someone mentioned above, that 147 means nothing, the only score that matters is your official score. I can provide some insight into me improving my LR. My RC is still a work in progress and you seem to be improving your LG; the advice above will help you improve even more.

My suggestion would be to prioritize accuracy. By that, I mean you should do drills (LR) of sections from older tests. In these drills, do not attempt all the questions and spend as much as time as you want to ensure you get the correct answer before moving on. This way, you may only attempt 19-20 questions but your accuracy will improve a lot (remember the first 7-8 LR questions tend to be the easiest - this will also help you find out if you need to improve on some of the fundamentals). If you keep this up, your confidence will improve and with that speed will come automatically. Soon you will be attempting most questions and keep your accuracy as well. I was given this advice from a person who only attempted 23-24 questions but got all of them right or maybe just missed 1 at most. While this may not work for most and many may not agree with this strategy, it worked for him and helped me improve my LR tremendously. Also, use the analytics function on 7Sage, you may find out that you are struggling on a specific question type and can drill that specific question type and improve your score.

You mentioned you want to emphasize review moving forward which I am sure will help you improve. You sound like someone who is taking accountability and knows what they are doing. Keep at it and the improvements will come. If you look through many of the forums, you will see people who went from 140's to 160's in a short period of time and that happened when things just started to click for them. Stay positive and it will happen for you as well.

Reach out if you have any questions at all! Stay positive and stay focused on the main goal.

Hey, I have called LSAC and have been told they will be updating the dates sometime this month. They definitely plan on administering it in June & July (likely LSAT Flex) and continue with similar dates offered in previous years. Hope this helps.
