Hello

If I want to take December test and use the score to apply...and if I take Feb. one too,

can we submit the Feb score as well?

Some schools I'm thinking to apply close the application on Feb, so by the time Feb score is up, they are no longer accept application. (kind of the reason I need to take Dec one first)

In this situation can we still tell them that we want to submit Feb score too?

Honestly I can just take the test once due to my condition now, but I may need to take another depending on the score.

Anyone has any idea?

Thank you

The word "often"

My brothers and sisters of the LSAT (sounds so corny lol),

I understand that many of you are anxiously awaiting your LSAT score; however, I have a question for you. Hopefully, it'll divert you from anxiety for a few minutes haha. On average, how do you interpret the word "OFTEN" in a logical reasoning stimulus?

Would you say if falls within the realm of "many" or "most"?

Thank you all.

Old LSAT Score Problems

I am re-taking the LSAT in December. I have a score from when I took the LSAT in Dec. 2011. I was wondering if there is a way where I can submit a "completed" application, lets say in November, WITHOUT my old LSAT score that is due to drop off in Dec. 2016. I understand law schools take the highest score, but I don't want the 2011 score to even show or come up. All your thoughts & recommendations would be appreciated!

Reading Comp. Inferences

Has anybody picked up on trends for reading comprehension inferences for MSS questions? Ideally I want to make a chart that lists the "most common types of inferences" for RC, similar to the "most common types of flaws" for LR.

Car Accident

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows what I can do regarding the December 5th LSAT. I was scheduled to write; however, I got into a terrible car accident 3 days ago. Does anyone know if LSAC is willing to reimburse me for the cost or at least move it to a later date without penalty?

Any feedback is helpful. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

lower backpain...

Hello, sorry for posting multiple posts.

I tend to have lower back pain due to the Lateral curvature.

Can we move our body and neck while taking the test? I'm afraid it will be seen as cheating...

What do you do when you get tired during the test?

Thanks

I am having a hard time deciding which law schools to apply to. I am applying to UVic, TRU, and Calgary for sure. I am thinking of also applying to Queen's and Dalhousie. My CGPA is a 3.2, L2: 3.5. I am getting my results for my first LSAT in a few days (September LSAT). I am expecting a 158-160. I am also writing the LSAT again in December. I am wondering if with my stats, I may have a possibility of Queen's or Dalhousie or whether I shouldn't waste my money and try for other schools? I'm not too sure on how Canadian law schools rank and what my chances are of getting into various schools/any schools. Any more information/advice would help. Cheers.

Where is everyone applying?

Just curious where people on this forum are thinking of applying to for this fall! I'm hoping to apply to Vanderbilt, Baylor, Georgetown, and Alabama if I make the score I'm shooting for! Wanted to see where everyone else is hoping to attend!

some of my applications ask about whether or not I will apply for fafsa. Maybe I am reading too much into this, but is there any benefit in saying no? For undergrad fafsa seemed to be a requirement that the schools asked you to do, and I'm not sure if the same is true for law schools. Do the schools benefit in any way by you choosing to submit fafsa? or does saying no signify you can pay?

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody know IF anything should go on the top of the person statement? This would include something like my name and LSAC account number.

I am submitting an additional information document, and my advisor told me to put my L number and a title at the top of that, so i was wondering if the same is true for the personal statement?

If so, does this count towards the space limit?

thanks

Some background information, I am a ELS students and some of the PT 70+ arguments are really convoluted for me (language wise) so I am trying to get into the habit of not reading the part of LR argument that starts with although as it is not an essential part of the argument except for agree/disagree questions. Do you think it is a bad habit? I have not been burnt by it yet. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hey 7Sagers!

I just had a quick question for all the fellow non traditional applicants. I graduated from undergrad over 6 years ago (by the time I apply it will be 7 years) from a state school with a low GPA. Although I don't have any earth shattering or life changing reasons for my performance, I've applied myself in my professional career and have done fairly well. I plan to include a diversity statement along with my personal statement but I'm still debating whether or not to include a GPA addendum. My plan was to take the December 2016 LSAT but at the risk of rushing and needing to do really well to combat my poor GPA, I decided to apply next cycle and take the June 2017 test. I'm currently averaging 25 hours of studying a week, on top of my full time job with the hopes of scoring in the high 160s - low 170s, I've done my research and have heard so many mixed reviews on GPA addendums in general so any help would be much appreciated!

I procrastinated on my PS (because I am an idiot). Need to have it ready to go in the next day or two and I have only had one person give me feed back :( could anyone give it a read? Grammar sticklers are especially welcome!

February score for 2018

I know the LSAT score is good for 5 years so if i take the LSAT on February and wait to apply for the year after, is that kosher? or is it a bad move?

PT39.S2.Q11

Hi guys, I have a question about and/or in this Q. Example the first sentence is A gift is not generous, unless benefits recipient & is worth more than expected

So when I apply the unless translation do I change the AND to an OR no matter what side i translate it to or do I keep the AND then switch when taking the contrapositive? Im confused...reading too many prep materials lol...

For example would this be correct?

~ benefit the recipient AND is ~ worth more than expected -> ~ generous

CP: Generous -> Benefit recipient or Worth more than expected

Thanks JY and crew!

Your Course got me well past where I needed to be. You took this slacker from 159 diagnostic to 167 actual. Now I'll freeroll September to crack 170 and add scholarship $$$. A point a month and we are there.

And Everybody taking LSAT should be aware that Indiana Tech (who?...good question) will reimburse you for LSAT and app fee if you merely apply there. Basically A school that will pay you $175 to apply.

LSAT Prep Materials

Hey all. I took the Testmasters course in July for the September LSAT. (BTW, it raised my diag score over 20 points so I thought it was a great course). Yet, I knew that I wouldn't be ready to get the score that I was shooting for--high 160s to low 170s. I'm currently sitting in the mid to high 160s but I need more material since I've gone through a large portion of the Testmasters material. I know the concepts behind LR and I can usually figure why I got a question wrong on my own; I just want more questions to practice. Does anyone have any prep suggestions? I considered PowerScore but there stuff is mainly concepts and lessons and not so much just real LSAT questions. I'm taking around 2 or 3 prep tests a week and doing review and extra practice on days when I don't take tests. Anyone have any suggestions for prep material with just questions and answers for LR and Logic Games?

I'm new to 7sage, but not to LSAT and the admissions process. I'm getting ready to apply for the fall 2017 cycle and I recently learned of something that could possibly ruin my apps... my criminal history. I was unaware, until now, that you MUST disclose your criminal background when applying.

My GPA is above the median for my target school and so is my LSAT score. I have good work experience, interned with a government consulting firm. I'm 27 years old (about to turn 28), and am just about to finish my BS in economics. And... I have 5 underage drinking charges and two marijuana possession charges. Oh, and god knows how many speeding tickets. No felonies or serious crimes. Just the mark of someone who loved to party when they were a teenager. So I heard some good things about 7sage and figured I would ask the community to see if I could get some guidance on my situation.

I really want an honest, unadulterated answer. Am i fucked? All of these charges happened between ages 15-21. So, they were a long time ago. I'm just worried that this might show a pattern of behavior that calls into question my "character and fitness." Granted it has been almost 8 years since I last had a run in with the law, I'm just worried the volume of charges might be too much for them to look past.

I feel terrible right now, and am kind of freaking out. I put in so much time and effort with school and the LSAT. Being rejected for my criminal background would just crush my whole world.

If I have:

/G most W

--------------

W some U

And, I want to draw "W some U".

Are these possibilities?

/G most U

/G most W

/G some U

/G most W

/G ---> U

/G most W

I don't see how this one works.

/G some U

/G most W

Hey everyone! I've been curious as to how people go about approaching their health, nutrition and time management while preparing for their exam. Obviously, the test is very difficult to master and is very demanding cognitively and, at times, physically, especially for those who are also still in school or work full/part time jobs.

Any tips on dieting/nutrition? (What kinds of foods are you eating to stay focused and improve mental cognition, how much water a day) Exercise? (More cardio as opposed to weightlifting, how many times a week, etc.) How much sleep every night, on average? Also, how do you break up your studying routines? (First thing in the morning, at night, large chunks of time vs. small amounts throughout the day). And while studying, tips to remain focused? (Study snacks, turning off phone, etc.).

I'm interested in what people suggest. Thanks for your help!

Having serious doubts

So as my title says, I've been having serious doubts about Law School. I'm a senior at a state university have a very poor GPA at 2.8, but I was diagnosed with an inner ear condition that caused me to go partially deaf in my right ear and gave me intense and constant vertigo my sophomore year and I suffered immensely because of that. Now that the condition is under control for the most part, I started studying in the middle of the summer and my diagnostic was a 155, and I have been PTing in the low to mid 160's. I'm thinking about taking the February LSAT and take a gap year before I apply. But I just kind of broke down this past weekend mentally and physically. Is it realistic to go to Law School with my GPA, even if I manage to do well my senior year? Has anyone experienced anything similar or has any sort of advice? Maybe I'm just really burnt out or maybe I just needed to vent haha. Thanks!
