Hi guys! Would anyone be willing to read over and possibly edit my resume? I'm submitting my apps within the next several days and I think it could use some polishing.

I am having timing issues with RC. I don't think my issue is with understanding the passages because for the most part when I go back and review I understand what I'm reading. However, when I factor in the clock I feel so rushed and have trouble processing what I'm reading as time progresses, causing me to make stupid errors. I don't have this issue with LR. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Can anyone offer any tips for overcoming this problem?
Hi everyone! I'm really liking these non-LSAT related posts. They're a fun way to take a break from the LSAT. I'm just curious what law schools you all have visited and which ones you liked and disliked and the reasons why. Were there any law schools that you visited that you thought you wanted to go to but visiting made you reconsider?
How do you study for the LSAT? I just finished the CC and watched the post-CC webinar so now the real work begins. I have all summer to study and I want to make the best use of time.
Scoring around 160 and I hate stimulus first. My score plummeted when I tried it. Much better to know what you're reading for!
When is it appropriate to send a "Why School X" essay? Are there any T14 schools where one should send such an essay along with the personal statement even if it's not asked for or are they for if you get waitlisted?
Is it seen as unprofessional to use an email address with a number in it? I made it [first name][last name]2122@gmail.com. I wanted a Gmail and it's impossible to make it just my name.
A few schools I'm applying to have a deadline of February 15, which also happens to be the day that January LSAT scores are released. Is it ok to apply on the day of the deadline or should I apply a couple days before? I need my January score and my November score is too low for the schools I'm considering. I just want to have all of my apps in on time.
For those of you who have already taken the test, what time were you finally able to leave? The reporting time is 8:30 so what time would you get there? The testing center is only a few blocks from my house. I'm taking the LSAT in November.
Title says it all. I watched the post CC webinar and upgraded so I have access to everything now. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the lack of structure and sheer amount of materials available now. For those who have been in a similar position, how did you proceed?
I'm familiar with what you're talking about and I think it's just two different ways of expressing the same idea. Use what works for you.
Interested!!
Interested!! East Coast USA
Over the summer I took a diagnostic and got a 141. I read the LSAT Trainer and did all of the recommended exercises. I just started the 7Sage CC a couple days ago. My goal is a 170 on the September LSAT. Obviously anything is possible, I was just curious to hear about anyone's experience who was able to do this. I'm in school full-time but I'm still able to devote a lot of time to studying for the LSAT.
Wondering this myself!
I just purchased the Starter course and I was wondering the order in which to do everything. I know to start with the Core Curriculum and then after that do I transition to drills and finally practice tests? I just want to make sure I do everything correctly.
170 is my goal for September and I was curious about other people’s experiences.
Has anyone here used 7Sage's admissions consulting services? I'm interested in the unlimited editing option for the personal statement.
I'm currently in the process of fool proofing (I'm on PT 8 of 35). I feel more comfortable with logic games but it's still by far my weakest section. I often find myself freezing up and having to watch the explanation because I have no idea how to proceed with the game. How long did it take for logic games to click for you? Did it happen gradually or all at once?
I don't write this to brag but I just wanted to share because I'm so happy. I just took my first post-CC practice test and scored a 154 after initially scoring a 141 on my diagnostic. I began using 7sage in late January. It's far from my goal score, which is 170, but I'm confident I can hit it by November. Now it's time to foolproof games and drill!
I just started the LG portion of the CC yesterday. I am brand new to logic games. As I am advancing through the CC, should I be fool proofing the games in the CC or should I wait to fool proof these games until after I'm done with the CC?
Does anyone have any idea when explanations will be available for the November LSAT, in particular logic games?
I'm in the process of fool proofing the games from PT 1-35. I'm only on PT 3 but I was wondering if it's ok to watch the explanation first, which is what I've been doing. Once I get more experience I plan to attempt the games on my own but for now is it ok to watch the explanation first? I've been averaging about 2 - 4 tries to foolproof a single game.
I just took PT 58 and got destroyed for some reason. I thought the LR was killer.
I read something on Reddit the other day that someone called LSAC and they said it would be Flex at least through the summer but it just hasn't been announced yet.
@ I tried Ellen's way of stimulus first and my score actually went down. It went up when I went back to reading the question stem first. My tutor says he always reads the question stem first and something he said really resonated with me. For each LR question you're trying to get to the right answer as quickly and easily as possible. Why read and analyze a stimulus more than you have to? Basically know what you're reading for. You have mere minutes not hours to analyze stimuli.
Exactly what the title says
Just have a few sips of water. If you don't overdo the liquids it shouldn't be an issue hopefully.
I'm going to L.A.W.S. and I want to be prepared with intelligent questions and things to say. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I second doing the CC first and then reading Loophole.
Congrats! How did you get -0 on RC?! That section is really hit or miss for me.
They haven't been released yet
I think so. You still need to know the same content but sitting for 3 sections is much less demanding than 5.
How many games did you foolproof? Is it recommended to do all of the games from PTs 1-35? Also how long does it take to foolproof? I understand that everyone learns at a different speed but what's a ballpark figure?
I know someone through Reddit and he's only $30 an hour!
Things just got real...
How do I go about sending my transcripts to LSAC? I am really confused. I'm taking the LSAT in November so when would be a good time to send transcripts? Is now too early? Thanks everyone!
@ said:
I'm going to keep this short and simple. I believe that In life, there are two types of people; those who crumble at the face of adversity, and those who become even more motivated despite it. You are clearly capable of scoring well on this test, the question is what are you going to do? give up? or keep moving forward despite the setback. Remember, nothing good in life comes easy (for most of us anyways). A setback sets you up for a comeback. Good luck!
I need to frame this!
The first passage destroyed me but I didn't think the second was too bad.
@ and everyone else wondering all I had to do was confirm that I didn’t have it and then linked my account. No payment required
Which sounds better? I'm applying to schools such as UVA, NYU, and Penn. Would I write NYU School of Law or New York University School of Law? I'm mentioning the school's name only once in my PS and I don't know which sounds better.
What do you think of the LSAT Answer Watch? The website says it's LSAC compliant and it's not a chronograph.

I received the zoom link. So it's definitely tomorrow at 7PM EST?
