Hello All,

My name is Talithia Martin and I am scheduled to take the LSAT in December this year.I've personally had my struggles with all the sections, however, I am finding my performance with logic games a little difficult to improve. One of the major questions I would like to ask is what is the difference between each type of logic game?

For example

a.) Basic & Linear Games

b.) Grouping Games

c.) Grouping & Linear Combination

d.) Mapping Games

e.) Pure Sequencing

f.) Pattern Games

Hey all,

I'm concerned about something in my personal statement. So I'm basically writing about my family's refugee story and how that pushed me to go into law.

I was originally going to be a doctor (my mom wanted a doctor in the family to take care of her when she gets older), but through some experiences in college regarding racial discrimination and then the rhetoric of the 2016 election, I found myself called to pursue law - specifically immigrant law, public policy, etc. Appropriately, I took ~1 year off school to work on the presidential campaign - hence sparking my transition from pre-med to pre-law.

I am worried though about talking about the 2016 election, specifically about Trump's immigrant rhetoric. I'm worried about making any politically charged statements and any backlash I may face in the admissions boardrooms. What do you all think? I would be respectful of course, but I'm worried just mentioning it could be bad.

So I haven't gone grey yet. just keeping ya'll updated :)

Grey alert!!!!!!

....

This is not a test.

Since grey day is upon us, I just wanted one last day to rant about judicial candor.

Hello, Im in the beginning stage of writing my personal statement, however i am having super writer's block and i'm stuck. I dont know what direction i should take my essay. Its so difficult because i am a career changer , from medical to law and all my experience are medical related. so if there is anyone who would like to review it and maybe throw some ideas in that would be helpful.

Prep Test 70 really smashed me in the teeth. Timed, it demolished me. So far, during blind review, it's eating me away. I just BRed both LR sections and got a combined -13.

Only got -6 on RC timed which is odd because RC is my weakness. Haven't BRed RC or LG yet, but man, so for me, PT70 is humbling me just when I thought I was improving steadily.

Two schools I'm applying to want two pages max. Three other schools want approximately two pages. And the other seven schools either don't have a page limit or it's max three. I'm at about two and three quarters pages right now, and am wondering what to do. I know the "two page max" schools are a hard line, and I plan to edit shorter for those, but what about the "approximately two pages" schools. How flexible are they when they say approximately?

Having a very hard time editing down while still telling the full story I want. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey! Does anyone want to swap personal statements and/or diversity statements for some feedback?

If so pm me for my email!

Hi I am studying for the Dec test and wondering if there's anyone wants to study and discuss questions together. We can meet in a library or the meeting room in my building. My location is close to Bloor&Yonge. Lets study together!

Hey guys,

One of the schools that I am applying for is having an open house this weekend. This sounds like a silly question but would it look bad to bring my mom with me? I'm very close with my mom and she will be the one who's paying for my law eduction so it makes sense that she wants to see exactly where her money is going...but I read on some other forums that taking your parents with you looks immature and can send the wrong message.

Any thoughts?

Hello everyone! I was hoping to meet some fellow 7sage members at either the ATL or NYC forum, if anyone is going please let me know!

So in the wait for scores to come out, I have a discussion starter!

What school would you pay sticker for?

No arguing about others' decisions/opinions please, this is just for fun while we wait for scores or this is a distraction from your studies! :D

How do we set a target score for the LSAT? Based upon what criteria?

Random post echoing other's thoughts about these last few dates of waiting for scores. I never thought I would say this but I don't know what I would be doing if it weren't for exams. I just realized that if I wasn't being forced to study pretty much all the time for these midterms, I don't think I could stand this last stretch of waiting. Sure, comparative political economy may sound boring at first glance, but it's a heck of a lot better than nervously fretting over something I can't change.

Anyways, back to studying I go (Thursday come faster).

I know, i'm dramatic.

But guys i'm freaking out.

So, i'm a senior in college and my school just finished my "grad check" so that i'm set to graduate in the spring. All of a sudden they started factoring in my dual enrollment classes from high school in to my GPA. While they are Bs, they brought my gpa down .08 points, which actually brought it down a .1. As we are all prospective law students, .1 is a big deal. (Example: 2.6 to 2.5, trust me, not my GPA but you get the idea). I have not yet submitted my transcript to lsac because I caught this. Will my dual enrollment classes factor in to my lsac gpa? Because my I would LOVE to apply with my actual college GPA.

Help :(

Any good books suggestions that will shed some light into law school, prep, logic, stress, actually anything that might help during this study/pre-law process? Thanks :)

Hey everyone. So I graduated college in May. I started out with a 144 for my diagnostic. Since then my highest PT has been a 162 and I've been studying full-time. I am very proud of my progress thus far. My goal is to get accepted to USC, UCLA, Georgetown, or Berkeley. My GPA is a 3.57. In order to do this I will have to get at least a 166 to even be considered. I feel like I will not be ready by December despite the fact that I am studying full-time. A moment of vulnerability here; I feel like crap being where I am. I am studying full-time in my parents house trying to stick to an 7 hour daily study schedule while I watch all my friends go off to medical school or law school or get great jobs. My girlfriend of 3 years just got into Stanford and I'm not even sure if I will be able to take a test by the deadline I set for myself, namely December. I feel like a disappointment to myself and it's so painful to feel so close to my goal and so far at the same time. I feel like I should take the test in June and get a full-time job or something in the meanwhile. I feel like the only people who might give me advice on this would give me bad advice, so I am asking the forum. The way I think about it is the following: I'd rather study longer and get a score that's good enough to get me into a good school possibly with money, than I getting into a worse school with no money. Where do you all stand on this? I feel like the 7sage mantra is take as much time as you need to get where you want to go, but I just don't know what to do. I want to thank everyone who took the time to read and respond to this in advance.

Any suggestions would be great

when applying...

I'm applying after being out of undergrad for 2 years. I took time off work for a few months to study for the LSAT and move back to my home state to do more meaningful work. Does that need to be explained in an addendum? I was thinking of including it in part of my "Why X" narratives, but that may be out of place.

Thanks!

Hey 7Sagers! Time for another photo contest. ;) Been a while since the last one, hasn't it?

This time we're looking for great student-submitted pictures for our YouTube videos and for our website. Here's some examples of past photos that we've accepted:

We're not looking for the exact same type of pictures shown above, those are just examples of what we've had in the past. Think outside the box! We love that stuff.

Here are the details:

Need some ideas to get you going?

#Deadline is October 15th!

Hi all - I'm having a hard time keeping to a strict study schedule. When I purchased the Basic package I copied the weekly study schedule (about 20 hrs or so) but I'm having a hard time following it. I'm now behind a few courses and need to figure out how to get back on track - I keep thinking I have to upgrade.

Also, the LSATBlog is offering a study schedule for sale and I'm wondering if its worth it to purchase it. Has anyone purchased this? I really need an hour by hour schedule that I can stick too. I suppose since 7Sage is self-study that I should figure this out on my own. But if anyone can help, pls let me know. Thx.
