Oh ya haha I remember!! I haven't been on in a long time :D
Dumb question....I know, but it eases my anxiety :D Will 7sage still be around in 3 years when I need to study for the LSAT??? This forum is so awesome and everyone says the prep course is so amazing so I just reallllllllly want to be able to use it when I study:)
I'm thinking you guys are right I mean who's gonna want an official transcript from some kid who hasn't even completed his later years of undergrad!? Thanks everyone :) no idea why I have a habit of blurting things like that out when I'm nervous but I'll work on it lol
Hello all! Another question...
Recently I applied to work at a law firm for next summer as an undergraduate student. The lawyer I may be working for is a family friend (we don't know him that well anymore though). Anyways, my question is, as an undergrad, will he want me to show him an official transcript of my marks and everything? During the interview he just asked me how my grades were and I told him and he sort of just left it at that...he has to discuss it with his partner to make sure he's cool with hiring me before he gives me the green light :) I know as an actual law student they want to see your official grades but since I'm not going to be articling and basically just doing jobs there that the lawyers themselves don't have time to do (like reading through some things to figure out what's junk and what's not) do you think I may not even need to show them my official grades? I'm actually wondering because when he asked me I got nervous for some reason (it was early in the interview so I wasn't settled in yet) and I kinda blurted out that I had a couple more A+'s than I actually got in my first year lol and I didn't bother correcting myself at the risk of sounding dumb (Insert laughing emoji).
I have no idea what any of that means but it makes me feel a lot better knowing how little I know jeez!! I had no idea there was so many...whatever those things are called (concepts?) to writing the LSAT?!?!
Thanks man! I've been seeing the LSAT as this....impossible, unchangeable thing where your score is concrete after one test...I had no idea this much improvement could be achieved!
oh haha that's awesome dude!! So you really think that will be fully worth the price?
Wow i'm loving this forum already you're all so helpful!!! This is incredibly encouraging wow haha.... I would only be able to do 7sage online, would that still suffice?
Thanks montaha! Fine words of wisdom my friend! I forgot to ask this, will my speed also be able to improve a lot? Like I sucked at that part haha!! I didn't finish a single section, I ran out of time on all 4!
Thanks guys! My individual scores were: LR #1 11/25, LR#2 11/25, RC15/27 and then LG was 4/23 I believe! I wrote a second one shortly after (untimed) just to see how I could do and the LR went way up! Obviously that's because of the extra time but at least I know I am capable of understanding them, just need to work on timing:) I just feel kinda discouraged tho, ya know? Alex and Daniel, those were very kind words and I already do feel more encouraged, and I mean that. Alex, to answer your question as to why I only aim for 160, it's a lack of confidence, a lack of belief... I see all these posts online about how the LSAT isn't learnable and such so getting to 160 seems almost impossible enough. Although, I feel as though a course can get me into the 150's, and then perhaps I could grind on my own to get higher? I guess its just, when you get such a low diagnostic...it makes you feel dumb you know?
I know this is a common topic, however I'm new to this forum sooooo I figured I might as well share my diagnostic and see if anyone has any advice or encouragement:) I still have a couple more years of undergrad to go before I apply to law school. I wrote a diagnostic the other day and scored a 140:( I need a 160 to get into a certain school because my GPA will probably be around 3.9 out of 4.0! I will have about 8 months to study when the time comes. Has anyone here gone from around 140 to 160, or know of anyone who has?
Not too bad! I took a lot of philosophy related courses though so its tough to get really really high grades haha!
