I left this question in another discussion, but figured it would be more appropraite to create a new thread, as I am sure many are asking themselves this same question. Here's my case:
So I was PTing between a 159 and a 162 toward the end of my prep. I got a 158 and was really hoping for a 160 or above. I feel like a 2-3 point increase could make a reasonable difference in scholarship money, which is why I would be willing to take it again. This test was a little bit off considering the virus game (which I surprisingly didn't do so poorley on) and the RC (wich I did way below my average). What do you guys think? Should I retake in Dec.??
FYI: this would be my third time. I canceled my first score.
Does anyone know whether if this LSAT will be released as a Practice Exam before the December Administration?
.
I saw 2 "0"s in my response. I do not think I left any question blank... Does anyone see the "0" in any of their responses other than me? Is the question removed or it's just I misbubbled...
Nothing
If it wasn't for a couple of RC passages and the virus LG game I would've killed it. Definitely retaking in June.
And everybody who has received their scores disappears and leaves the rest of us pacing the floor alone.
Congratulations and Good Luck!
Hurry LSAC,Hurry!

Well deserved @"J.Y. Ping", you've made a difference in my life and, I'm sure, many others'.
I'm registered for an LSAC forum in November, but it turns out that's also a really good day to go visit the campus of my number one school. Does it make more sense to attend the forum, or get the one-on-one time on campus?
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.
Can someone read my LSAT addendum? I'm going to keep it really brief but I just feel like my score differences are shocking enough to puzzle admissions.
Does my personal statement need to tell admissions why I want to attend law school? I have written a personal statement on a topic where it might feel contrived to suddenly end with why I want to attend law school. But is that what admission officers expect? I will add that I have been out of school for 3.5 years.
I am writing a diversity statement. Should I just include why I want to attend law school in my diversity statement?
Hello,
I took the September LSAT and I'm thinking/hoping that I scored well enough to get into my selected schools. However, I am really trying to do well enough to be heavily considered for scholarships. My plan was to keep studying and take the February LSAT, but I recently was told that taking it again then will be too late to be highly considered for scholarships at most schools.
This brings me to my questions as to if I should take the LSAT one more time in December, or in February?
Thank you!!!!!!
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!
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
As of May 15th 2017, the 7Sage Discord has been shut down. Thanks for joining us!
I took the September LSAT and will be getting my score back hopefully today or tomorrow. I don't think I got what I wanted though so I am signed up for the December test. How do I go about applying? I don't want to apply and then get rejected for my September LSAT before they see my December one. Should I apply and contact them to put my application on hold until my December LSAT comes back?
Woke up, thanked GOD, showered, ate breakfast, now I just keep checking my email. I mean I do have an iPhone and the emails are always delayed. So any minute now......
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.
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.
I took a BluePrint course for 3 months and self-studied for the LSAT for a full year back in 2015, but ended up quitting earlier this year after encountering severe burnout and score stagnation. I was lucky enough to find a job at a reputable company in Silicon Valley which was great, but I still have desire to attend law school.
After throughly going over BluePrint, PowerScore, and parts of the LSAT Trainer, I still couldn't get my score over 155. I feel like I tried everything, and in some ways, I'm still hesitant about starting again due to fear of failure. Is there anything in the 7Sage curriculum that distinguishes it from the rest? I'm planning on purchasing the Ultimate bundle, but I don't want to waste money if it won't help me with the problems I faced the first time.
Thanks
Should I start initiating Law School applications prior to taking the December LSAT?
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?
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.
Plenty of schools have an optional essay where you write why you want to attend that particular law school, but can you also just write an optional addendum essay explaining why you want to go to a certain school even if it's not mentioned.
I wrote down that UCLA mentioned applicants could write an optional essay on why they wanted to attend, but now that I'm looking at the application, I see that I've made that up. Still, I did some good research and have some compelling, specific reasons for wanting to go there - is it wise to just write up a short essay (2 paragraphs or so, or around 250 words) about why UCLA appeals to me and just submit it as a general addendum? Or are addendum's only supposed to be explanations for bad grades/bad LSAT scores?
