@david.busis If I am writing the same organization over and over again, do I keep writing out the full name or do I abbreviate after the first time. In this instance National Christian College Athletic Association could be shortened to NCCAA after the first appearance (it appears three times on my résumé). I thought you had something on this in the admissions starter but then I couldn't find it (which could mean I was mistaken or that I just missed the appropriate section the second time).

Hi guys, so I have decided to put off my LSAT date until next september so I can focus on my last semesters of school. However, I want to continue to do logic games so that I wont have to restart studying when I finish my degree (April). I have the cambridge packets and was wondering if it would be a good idea to spread them out between January - April. There are 152 games games which would mean that I do around 10 games a week. Would this be an efficient way to study? Maybe do 3 games, redo them the next day and repeat?

What are some ways you've used that were successful in increasing your LSAT score?

Hi,

Just wondering...

How many Games or PTs did you do to get -0~-2 range?

ow many times do you repeat doing the same games?

Thanks

Note:

Looking for some input. I have found that overwhelmingly the questions I mark for BR are questions that I am getting right while the questions I am missing are ones that I am not marking for BR. This seems to indicate to me that I am under confident on certain types of questions and over confident on others. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you work on getting your BR to better focus on your weaknesses? For example I marked 12 LR questions total for BR while taking PT 70 yesterday, of those 12 I only ended up getting 2 of them wrong during the test. I realize the benefit of using BR to reinforce concepts you know but are not confident on, but I would like it to also better reflect my weaknesses.

I wrote my first LSAT test today for the first time since my last write in October 2015. I've been studying 7Sage since the beginning of September 2016. Scored a 152 before blind review and a 159 after blind review. I write the real thing again December 3rd. Can anyone offer any words of encouragement because I feel like there just isn't enough time :(

Hi, I was wondering if I could get a little help with this topic. I registered late for the LSAT (because of the september LSAT results), and I'm going to be submitting my request for accommodations, specifically extra time, and a quiet room by tomorrow. I have a diagnosed learning disability.

But the thing is, I'm canadian, so we don't have standardized tests prior to post-secondary education. Furthermore, I didn't have accommodations during my undergrad because it's largely writing/essay based rather than test based.

I didn't write my last LSAT with accommodations because I wasn't aware that they granted them.

If anyone has taken the LSAT with accommodations, could you please shed some light on the issue? I already know that I have to fill in the 3 forms that LSAC provides. I'm also going to be providing a detailed psych evaluation (30+ pages describing my LD). What other documents should I include to strengthen my case?

Thank you so much

What are some examples of how you start to prepare to study for the LSAT? Do you go over a lot of questions with the hopes of eventually getting them right? Do you use some of the strategies that you were taught from LSAT review courses? I'm trying to get some direction on the best way to start? Any suggestions?

Hi all, not sure if it is appropriate to ask this here, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

While finishing up my December LSAT registration, my checkout cart showed the additional $90 late fee. It's October 23rd today and the LSAC website says that late registration is on Oct. 25th. Am I missing something? I sent a message to LSAC and I'm planning on calling tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone had the same problem and if anyone had any suggestions.

After mulling over my September score a couple days now and trying to assess where I went wrong, I am wondering if I was too confident on gameday.

Before going into the test, I knew that I had some anxiety about performance. I tried to mitigate that by mentally preparing myself in advance, telling myself to find a balance between confidence and nervousness, and believing in my training. On gameday, I was calm and and after the test, I felt that I had done better than expected. I thought I would've scored above average.

However, my actual score does not reflect how I felt. In fact, I scored outside even my lowest expected score. It's hard to accept this score when I thought I did everything correctly, that I placed so much mental effort into focusing to do well. Now I'm thinking that I was too confident on gameday. This made me complacent, and this feeling led me to deviate from my normal test taking strategies.

For December, I have to find a better balance between confidence and being aware of complacency. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this, and how are you planning to overcome this aspect of the test?

Hello Good Afternoon Everyone,

I need extra help parsing grammar. Beside 7sage grammar material, or lsat question, what are some other helpful sources to practice parsing tough grammar, and identifying arguments structures?

Message me if you'd like to voice, FaceTime, or Skype to bounce information off each other. I tend to study better this way. Would be nice to also take individual timed sections and discuss answers.

If one-on-one studying already exists on 7Sage, please direct me. :)

Dear all,

The question video is here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-27-section-4-question-23/

And my question relates with the word "promising".

From the analysis of the paragraph, the context doesn't give anything of significance. Likewise, the word "promising" too.

But during exam, and under pressure, how do you exactly interpret the word: promising?

If X is promising then X must be good compared to the general sample right?

Please let me know your thoughts and much appreciated.

Thanks,

Panda

Lets be brief: 147 LSAT, 3.92 GPA, Dual Major of Computer Science and Legal Studies, and a very impressive resume. Whats the best school I could get into?

First off, congratulations on your score for the September LSAT!

I have seen a lot of rejoice and I have seen a lot of heartbreak today. For those of you who scored at or above your desired score, the stress is over, you are going to law school! For those of you who scored below, take a deep breath and relax. Some of you may have been aiming for the 160's and ended up in the 150's but guess what? This isn't a death blow! There are PLENTY of schools that take students in the 155, 3.0 range and those are good schools! Remember, this isn't considered to be a very strong year for applications. Unless, you scored in the 140's, you will find a place somewhere. Also, do you know why the T14 is so romanticized? The perceived benefit mainly revolves around the alumni base these schools have but guess what? Every school has alumni that are well off. Learning to network is key and graduating in the t10 at a 2nd or 3rd tier school will attract some of the best firms around. Take your future into your own hands, you will be okay! Remember that there is more to life than this exam! Once again, congratulations to all!

Are there any downsides to scoring lower on your retake and then applying with those two scores? Do you need to write an addendum if it happens?

Also.. How do law schools look at multiple LSAT scores? There seem to be conflicting views online. Thank you in advance!

Does anyone have any comments about Blueprint RC, The LSAT Trainer or Fox Logical Reasoning books? How many books do we have to buy for prep to score high? There are a lot of LSAT books and study courses on the market. What is the best approach to prepare for this exam?

Hey folks,

We’ve had some nice intimate BR sessions during the daytime on Fridays, but it’s possible that people are missing the discussion posts. The brilliant @nessa.k13.0 reminded me that the also brilliant and newly-minted Sage @"Cant Get Right” used to tag all those interested in BR group every time he posted a forum discussion blast. So if you have any interest in the daytime group and would like to be tagged when I post a discussion, just go ahead and let me know in the comment section. That way, you won’t miss anything. Thanks and have a great weekend!

I took preptest 68 and scored very differently on the two LR sections. i am a bit perplexed by the discrepancy. How does one get 85% on one of the LR sections and then 56% on the second LR section? I did them timed during a full practice test and THEN redid both sections, timed as well, and got the same score on a different day. I redid them to make sure that the second sections failure wasn't an accident. The difficulty level of the second LR section is clearly much more difficult for me. I would say 85% on the first section is a great outcome but the second section killed my score overall. any tips or explanations for the difference in difficulty? Do i need to go back to fundamentals? do preptests usually have one section of the LR that is SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult in comparison to the other? thanks in advance!

For this particular question, I had difficulty understanding what the last sentence was actually saying. I interpreted the sentence to mean that the test could be used during the first year of infection to detect how long one had the virus for a given month. Is this the correct interpretation? Also does it imply that if one has the virus for more than a month for the first year of infection that the test cannot be used? That implication seemed counter intuitive to me, and so I'm having trouble parsing out the language.

Anyone going to the law school forum in Houston today? I'd love to meet some 7Sagers!

I got a 160 on the September LSAT. I was PTing at 160-163 range, so it’s about what I expected to get.

My one and only dream school is/was Univeristy of Washington, Seattle that has the median LSAT of 164. Benefits of attending UW are in-state tuition, familiarity with the environment (I went to undergraduate there), and the fact that it’s the most renowned law school in the Pacific NW.

I feel so out of shape due to the 3 week break and I feel like I do not have enough strength/motivation left of me to study further for the December retake and get that median 164.. I’m registered for it though…

Is it worth it to go to law school with a 160 LSAT score, presumably paying out-out-state tuition at a 40-50th law school? Should I go to 111th law school in my region with some scholarships? Can I even get a job securely with that option?

If it helps I have a decent GPA of 3.75 and I’m not a URM.

It’s just so damn stressful to even think about getting back to studying at this point..... I simply despise the LSAT right now.. But if you guys suggest that retaking is truly a more valuable option, I will probably try.. Only 40ish days left until the December test.. OMG…. HELP ME PLEASE..
