Congratulations!! If not it is a secret, could you please share about your study plan, your pre-7sage score, and how long you have been studying for? Thanks so much!!

Now I understand. Thank you!

Thank you for your help. But, umm, if I were to extend my membership for 2 more years, does that mean I have to purchase the 1-month extension 24 times?

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you. Best of luck in and post Harvard!

#help I am confused about the "unless" statements. Previously we have been negating the sufficient, but now it has been done differently. For example, in the statement, "Paul will not go to the concert unless Ted agrees to go to the concert," it is translated as "P ----> T". I was translating it as "/T -------> /P." Of course, from this P -------> T. But how do I know when to use which form?

I think +5 is really good especially just after CC. I am in the middle of LG CC. I would like to ask how long did it take you to see an improvement on your LG section and how has been your study schedule? Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much! Much appreciate the hard work you guys are doing behind the screen.

I am in no shape to give you any advice on how to improve your scores because I am still on CC. However, considering your full time job and the evening part time job, perhaps you should dedicate an hour a day during the work days and 6 hours a day during the weekends. Then, you would have studied for solid 17 hours a week, which would be quite satisfactory considering your work schedule. You can do even more during the weekends, though, depending on how you feel like on any given day. Besides this, you should have your life too. Perhaps, try to incorporate some "you" time here and there, or you will feel totally burnt out. May you reach your goal score. #hard work#dedication#resilience

Hi there, a stranger and a 7Sage fellow member!! After reading your long journey, I am proud of you even though I do not know you. Thanks so much for sharing your ups and downs. Hope you feel much better after letting everything out. About me, I started studying for the LSAT last June, right after I graduated from uni and I studied for that whole month alone LMAO. My diagnostic is 148. I did not study during the months of July, August, September, October, November, and now I am back in December. If you ask me why I have been procrastinating for so long is because whenever I do problem sets, after finishing 3 or 4, I just start getting distracted, and bored. Also, during those months, I was binge-watching Korean, American, Chinese, Japanese dramas and movies. Dear lord, I was so stuck in the virtual world. I did not sleep at night, was stressed and sleepy during the day. My cystic acne even got worse. I ate so much junk foods. In short, my life after graduation became a mess. Because of the acne problems, I did not want to leave the house, which then made me lose all interest in finding a job. Fortunately, I live with my parents, but I want to become independent. Actually, in college, I was so focused with everything that I did. But, now focusing on LSAT alone has become a problem for me even though I know the impact it has on our future careers and law schools. I felt like living was pointless during those months. No, I did not think of taking my life. That would be like too extreme. But anyways, now I think I am back to my normal self. Fortunately, my acne started healing as soon as I stopped eating chocolate, refined sugars, pastries, french fries, burgers, pizzas, meeen all the good stuff. I wish human body listened to its owner and functioned the way its owner tells it to. Well, until such day comes, I am gonna stick to eating veggies and fruits, which is tough. My plan is to get my life back, by first securing an employment, moving out of my parents' house, and really put myself into a healthy habit (work, study, exercise) One thing that sucks about the real world is that employers are putting more importance on experience rather than your grades. I mean that is understandable from one perspective but for those of us like me who entirely focused on her coursework during college, it really puts us at a disadvantage. Kudos for people who can keep their grades up and have a job at the same time. I think there is a reason for everything that happens in our lives. As long as we keep our backbones, meaning regardless of the weather of the day, we stay true to ourselves, and continue working hard towards the end goal, we can really make our dreams come true. Every effort matters. That is what I have been telling myself, both in battling with my worst enemy, acne, as well as when studying for the LSAT. My goal is also a very high score. I will study until I reach that goal, not matter how long it takes. Consistency is the key, not the intensity. And, I would like to tell you my friend, one phrase I heard from someone. I forgot who, But, it is "slow is smooth, and smooth is fast." May we (including everyone who is having their own battles) succeed. #turtlepower

One thing I would like to mention is that as I have read multiple success LSAT stories from 7Sage discussions, I have come to realize that succeeding on this huge test is not only about studying alone. Those people who scored really high and achieved their dream scores created a healthy habit for themselves and stuck to it. They were not studying like 6 or 8 hours a day, instead they studied as much as they can every day, or eat least consistently, and in addition, they exercised, or rather kept both their body and mind healthy, relaxed, and positive. So, success on this test comes from balancing multiple different aspects of our lives. In short, thanks to this test, we will be able to find ourselves. And I think that is way more empowering or enriching than a score. So don't stress out if your scores are not improving much because as long as you stay true to your habit, improvement will come flowing one after another.

Thank you very much for the advice!! I was wondering like if I take the November test and get a bad score, and then take the September test, and do really well on that, my psychology was that law schools would see that I improved a lot and worked hard between these two test periods. This is what I was hoping that law schools do. I guess I am wrong then. I shall just drop from the Nov test date.

wow :open_mouth:

Lol, silly of me. I was looking for extensions in settings even though I have previous experiences of extension. haha. Thank you!!!

Thank you very much! Will do as advised. :blush:
