Doesn't LSAC wait to generate your report until your LSAT score is in? Or am I just crazy and imagining that?

You're situation sounds very similar to mine. Although I didn't take the official LSAT in June, the couple practice tests I took during that time period all put me at the 154 mark. I'm using both PowerScore and 7Sage to self study and I found perfecting Logic Games was the easiest way to break 160. Not to hate on 7Sage, because I do think it's the best tool available, but PowerScore does just fine at explaining LG. After going through the Logic Game Bible with PowerScore and taking ~3 PTs, I used 7Sage and watched their videos on how they solved the problems and made note of where 7Sage differed from PowerScore and now I get perfect scores on LG sections or -1 if I run out of time after skipping an especially time consuming question. Additionally, I think some of the most basic advice both 7Sage and PowerScore supply can be applied to RC, i.e. try skipping the middle two games/passages, do the first and last, pick the middle game/passage with the most questions to minimize the chances if you tend to run out of time also bumped up my RC a couple points. I think the biggest place to make strides is committing yourself to the 8:45 time limit and drilling that into your brain.

Anyway, that was the advice of someone with little to no experience, but it worked for me. Good luck!

Thanks! I forgot to factor in the LSAC fee as well.

Unsolicited Application Fee Waivers

Hey everyone,

So I have a pretty simple question and I have a feeling there's an obvious answer, but I'm stumped so I figured I'd ask the experts. As schools are emailing/mailing us literature and information about their respective law schools, some are also including unsolicited application fee waivers as well. Some are codes we have to enter on websites (i.e. Temple), but most are through LSAC when we actually apply.

Is there a page on our LSAC accounts where we can go to see all the schools that have sent us fee waivers or do we have to sort through our emails/letters or check and see each one individually during "checkout" of applications?

Thanks!

Hey everybody! This is my first time posting here so my apologizes if this post breaks forum etiquette.

Right now I'm considering whether or not a need a GPA addendum. From my undergraduate institution, LSAC will calculate that I have a 3.94 and within my time at my undergraduate institution I have steadily raised my GPA by small margins every semester. The problem is that I have some old DE credits from 4 years ago that will come back to haunt me and bring my LSAC calculated UGPA all the way to 3.72.

My ideal school is Georgetown having a median GPA of 3.77 and I'm still four points shy of their median LSAT (sitting in September to hopefully immediately apply ED after the scores come back.)

My question is should I write an addendum basically confessing I was a stupid teenager who didn't take life seriously and has since applied myself and steadily brought my GPA up every semester since? I'm almost worried that writing that addendum will highlight past poor grades without helping too much as I'm only .05 below their median.

What do you guys think? Additionally, if you think I should write it, should I include that since going to college I've held a 3.94 or does that not assist the addendum?

@ , just wanted to follow up and let you know that I tried the skipping strategy you suggested with the slight modification that I skipped any question that gave me that "oh hell no" reaction in LR and not only did I get a personal best, but it was a statistically significant score increase than my previous best! Thanks man!

Before creating another thread, I wanted to check with you guys if you'd be up for another round of peer reviews? My PS is still in the ROUGH revising stage and I'm still drafting my DS, but I would love to jump on this peer review train if possible.

Hey everyone! Happy first day of applications!!

I just had a thirty second question about my C&F Addendum. Specifically, what length, in general, should an addendum be? I know that the answer to this will vary based on the situation, but for a simple underage drinking violation in undergrad I was curious about how many words would hit the sweet spot of informative, yet concise.

Excited to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

Hey 7Sagers!

I saw a couple posts that were similar to this topic, but those threads were mainly very old or distinct in their question. As such, I wanted to pose a question that I'm sure many in the community are facing during PTs.

What are some of the potential causes that would result in varied PT scores?

I'm sure everyone is experiencing different results, but in my case, I'm talking about 8 PT scores that create two very distinct averages. For me, half my PTs suggest I'm currently performing at ~163 and the other half consistently have me at a ~157. To clarify, these scores were intermingled, meaning it's not a steady increase from 157 to a 163, but rather spikes and drops going between the two. Furthermore, I've thoroughly reviewed both the question types and sections for each test and there doesn't seem to be any consistency in the points I've missed.

But back to my larger question, if our studying methods haven't changed, what fundamental errors could cause those preparing for the LSAT to have an inconsistent score and how can we address these?

Hey everyone! Quick question about the Academic Summary Report -- LSAC just processed my transcripts and the numbers are what I expected them to be, but I just noticed the statistics they include about your degree granting institution. Specifically, the story they tell about my university is that 65% of students got below average on the LSAT and too few students exist to calculate an average GPA. I was wondering how this is viewed by admission officers and what sort of impact it would have if I'm at the median for my top two law schools.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
