Hello!

I have a question for this wonderful community. Does it work against prospective law students to take time off after college?

If I take the LSAT in June 2018 and start in the fall of 2019, I'll have taken 2 years "off." I'm concerned because I worked for an attorney who told me it wasn't good for my application to take time off. He said people who do take time off usually hold prestigious positions, e.g., in politics, before they attend law school and that has helped them get into top schools. I've got a a decent resume and a very high undergrad GPA. But I'm taking time off because I want to do very well on the LSAT. What do you all think?

My diagnostic was a 147, and after about 4 months of study using 7sage, I am now averaging an LSAT score of 158. I have about 4 more weeks of study left before taking the LSAT this month, and I'm seeking advice on how to see a big enough improvement in these 4 weeks so that I score at least a 165 on the real LSAT. What is the best way to get me up there in less than 4 weeks? For context, my I perform worse on LG, averaging -10. Should I focus more on LG these weeks, without completely neglecting LR sections? Or should I strive to perfect LR and LC sections? I usually miss aroun 6 to 8 LR and LC questions.

Thanks!
