How was your study routine like? What made the biggest difference in your study habits to get to your goal score? @estoutenburg25267
My routine was all over the place due to school, work, internships etc. I studied on and off for over a year - much of that time being light studying here and there.
What made the biggest difference for me was isolating where I could earn points easily. A -0 on LG is very doable for many people... -0 on LR or RC is much more difficult. Also, I developed a good skipping routine on LR. For example, any Parallel method Q's was instantly skipped till the end. Furthermore, I developed a routine for each question type. RC I just tried to engage in the article and make a mental note of the main idea in each paragraph.
I used 7Sage for all my studying. The community and the curriculum is awesome and helped me earn a top 10% score. I was able to secure a full ride from a strong regional T1 (UF) - this was my goal and I am happy to accomplish it.
You all are great here and this has to be the most supportive law related forum I have found on the internet.
I plan to stick around and I am sure you all will go on to do great things!
Thanks for everything 7Sage.

can anyone confirm if LR section with a question about 7pm and 6pm was real?
I had only two LR sections I had this question.
Yeah had this one as well. Maybe I was fried by this point but all I am going to say is WTF about that one
@ivettechow129 said:
Anyone have a LR question about increasing rain and less hot days.
I don't remember that one. I only had two LR's

LR2 had questions about T. rex and vacuum for uncarpeted floor.
T Rex question made me kinda laugh
@doyera854 said:
Was the LR section with the whistleblower question real or experimental? The one about punishing those who reveal politicians
I only had 2 LR and I don't remember that one. Do you remember any more?
I only had 2 LR. One of the questions was about using someone elses wifi.
I graduated earlier this year from a large university and while I did well in my classes I never really connected with any of my professors (my fault). At this point I need a letter or two so I can fire off my applications as soon as I receive my December score. I have one professor who I think might remember me but after that I am kind of lost. I don't want to come off as rude asking a professor who I am certain will not remember me to write me a letter. Any advice on navigating this situation?
@gregoryalexanderdevine723
Thanks man, you as well!
@476
Thank you! This is a great community. One of the best choices I have made.
@jhaldy10325
Thanks for the tips! Are you working towards September take or just waiting until you are ready?
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work. Congratulations!
@476.rizeq
I think you are correct. I will probably take a break till Monday... The test was affecting my life in a negative way. I guess it can do that when it means so much to you.
Just have to remind myself slow and steady, results will come.
@gregoryalexanderdevine723
That is awesome man - I am sure with the attitude you have you will definitely achieve your goals! Are you still working through the CC?
@476.rizeq
I've been feeling so attached to the test. The stress had been weighing me down for the past week or so. Postponing feels like it's taken a huge weight off my shoulders.
@jhaldy10325
Thanks for the reply. When you take an old test how do you approach it? If you were in my position would you reccomend going back through the CC and continuing to work through the games of old tests (1-36) as well as the tests I have already completed (37-48)?
@gregoryalexanderdevine723
Thanks for all the advice and encouragement! I wish you the best! Are you taking the December test? How long have you been studying for?
You guys are great! Thanks for helping me reaffirm I am doing the right thing!
@gregoryalexanderdevine723
Thanks for linking me that webinar! I haven't really watched any of them. Any others you suggest?
@gregoryalexanderdevine723
Thanks for the reply. It was a tough decision but I know I won't be ready. This test has a rough way of letting you know. I'm thinking going back through the CC emphasizing areas of weakness that have been illuminated by the analytics system. Anything else you would suggest?
Long story short, I started studying May 16th for the September LSAT. I went through the core curriculum (probably a little to fast) and have taken 10 PT's. I've now realized I am not where I want to be and September is just not going to happen for me. I know I need to go back through the CC (especially the lawgic stuff). I've posted here before and you all told me not to waste a take and especially not to waste a 4.0 GPA. My diagnostic was a 151 with -18 on LG. My average on these 10 tests was a 163 with BR in the 170's so I'm hopeful going back through the curriculum and refocusing myself without the stress of taking the test in September can help me increase my score 7-10 points. Now my question is this: I took tests 37-48 so how much damage did I do to myself? I still have 30 clean PT's that won't be touched until I feel I am ready again. I feel so relieved that I made this decision, thank you all for being a positive support group and giving great advice.
@msami1010493 Your response is directly contrary to the posts above you. I wouldn't think it would be too difficult to talk about someones achievements based on a resume stating a 4.0 GPA in Finance as well as involvement on campus and volunteering. Not to mention receiving a high A in their upper level class. My classes are huge and I never needed to go talk to a professor to receive help or anything like that. @476.rizeq seems to think a great LOR can be drafted by a professor who doesn't know you personally. Obviously, it would be better if I was great friends with the professor writing me a LOR but that is not easy at the University of Florida where class sizes are large.
Not to hijack your thread but is it frowned upon to ask for LOR's from professors that don't know you personally... I attend a big public school (UF) and all my classes have been 500+ students. I will be in some smaller classes this fall but I will need LOR's pretty early to go with my September LSAT score so I am not sure what I should really do... Wait and ask professors who might know me a little better or ask some of my other professors who do not know me but I have received A's in their classes.
I just see LG's as the part of the test that is "easiest" to do well on. LG's are very much learn-able. I started at -18 and am averaging -6 right now. I know that if I can master LG's I have 10-12 questions to work with on the other 3 sections to score where I would like. To me, this is enough motivation!

@estoutenburg25267 Congratulations!
Thanks JY - your course helps so many people for a fraction of the price. I was at a function for incoming students the other night and almost all of them mentioned that they used Test Masters or Kaplan. I wish more people knew about this website.
