Usually when I am taking a PT I use a scan tron to make it like real test conditions but I don't bubble the questions on the scantron well I just quickly mark it and move on and then at the end make sure they are all bubbled well. Will I be able to do this for the real thing? Will there be any time after each section or after the entire thing to make sure your answers are bubbled fully?

Yep, it has hit me again. I've seen my last two PTs sink below my average and I'm starting to get negative thoughts about game day. I want to take 4 more PTs and BR before the 24th. Should I just take off two days? I get super guilty if I take a couple of days off but I think I really need it.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Any advice on how to improve score on RC questions?

I am postponing. I have been consistently scoring about 3-5 points under my target score and I know that I can get there by December. BUT... since I am not getting my money back... I am considering showing up for the test on sept. 24th and taking it under real conditions. I would then cancel the score, because I am not ready. I feel like it will give me a confidence boost in December to have already gone through the process once. The only con I can think of is that a cancelled score will show up on my report, will anyone in admissions care? Is this a bad idea?

In the curriculum, we get insight about jumping over your BR potential. After doing some BR I am happy to see that meeting my BR potential actually puts me into the range I wish to be. So, I need to perfect my skills and the art of BR. But, what if I want to exceed my BR potential? Have any of you done that? If so, what changed? What happened to propel you past your BR potential?

I ask because my experience with the LSAT comes with waves. I feel like I pick things up and push my score by a decent amount (top of the wave) and then the wave subsides and the scores flatten out until I find that other "aha" moment. So far, and it has been a couple of days of 7sage, I have already had a couple by just taking part of the curriculum. I can't wait to take it to a PT, because I have a feeling this change is serious. Still, I hope to hit my BR potential. Greed being what it is, I also want to exceed it. Any advice from those that have?

I have been MIA around here lately because I've been mostly just testing, drilling, and BRing. But I just wanted to say that thanks to JY & 7Sage, my average for my last 5 tests is FINALLY up to170. Still a few weeks out from test day (June), and still a bit of work to go, but I'm finally feeling confident and prepared for test day. I'm so happy I was able to find this resource and this community. Thanks J.Y. <3 & everyone else

I chose (A) because I thought verbal explanations of those medical experts are not effective enough for judges and jurors to understand such testimony, which is explained at the end of the final paragraph, and "appreciation of the difficulty involved in explaining medical data" is explained in line 57-59.

(C) also looked a good choice, but I couldn't find the exact moment of "acceptance of accuracy of such testimony" in the passage.

Could you clarify why could (C) be better answer choice than (A)?

Thank you!

I know the smart decision would be to limit myself to some number of schools I will apply, but the thing is I cannot. I feel like applying to each and single one in the top 25 law schools. I also think about not having any safety schools on the list and applying only to those I will absolutely love to go to, not simply be "okay" with. Does it sound like a mad woman plan?

I am aiming to take the LSAT in Feb. 2017, If I do this will I still have a chance at being admitted for school starting Fall 2017 or would it be best that I wait until Fall 2018? Also, how many schools would you suggest I apply too? I have been told that the more schools I apply to the higher my chances are at acceptance. Right now, I have about 14 schools that interest me, in which about 5-6 are "very hard" to get into while the rest are all "safety schools". Also, each time you submit a new app. to a law school, do you have to ask/request new LORs', as I have about 4 on file, but I was not sure if they expired? And how exactly does it work with schools you have applied to before but was not accepted? Any advice you all could give me will be greatly appreciated, thanks :-)

Hi all,

Most of the schools that I am applying to give the option of a DS which is awesome, because I have not so great stats but a very diverse/unorthodox upbringing. One of the schools that I am applying to (UCLA) doesn't say anything about a DS specifically, but there is an optional addendum section where it says "If there is additional information you would like to include in your application, please attach an addendum" so I was thinking about just uploading the same DS I am writing for all my other schools under this section, so that I can also use the PS that I have written (which has little to do with my upbringing).

Does anyone know if that is frowned upon or anything? I just want to make sure I don't make them roll their eyes at me when they are already looking at subpar stats haha. Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

Do any of you have a list of all the strange games?

Hey guys,

Happy to be part of an intelligent community. I have just started the program and am loving it so far. I was wondering what an average breakdown of questions by difficulty would be on a 50 question LR section.

How many 1 star, 2 star, 3 star, etc questions should I expect to find on average? Is it an even distribution where I will see a 10/10/10/10/10 split? Or are there a bit more 1/2/3 star questions?

Sorry if this is an idiotic question, but I am generally curious so I could get a gauge of where I am.

Happy Studying.

Hi guys, does anyone know what the actual administration date for C2 is? 7Sage has it labeled as January 2016, but I have heard some conflicting information on this. Trying to figure out if I should be taking this.

thanks!

Hey,

Before confirming for CAS, Step 1 is to "Enter Institutions Attended," and one of the fields requires you to enter in your email address. When I start applying for schools, would that email address be shown to them?

I am going to have a more professional email (IE: First and Last name) address on my resume, but the one that I have under CAS is my gmail one. (It is nothing embarrassing, like the one that Gronk (Patriots' TE) used to have, which is chickslayer69@yahoo.com)

Thanks!

7Sagers, I'm doing some BR and I'm really conflicted on this question. I have no idea what the answer is to this question yet (I wanted to get feedback from you guys first) so I have no idea if I've even narrowed it down to the right final two answer choices but here's where I'm at.

This is the passage about the permissibility of custom-made medical illustrations in the courtroom. The question says

Removed. Please see forum rules.

Here's where I'm at with the question:

a) I think this may be an implicit argument? But the passage in the third paragraph actually seems to be refuting criticism not directly making a stance yet

b) ~~~ B looks really good

c) Does she do this? I don’t see where it says that they aren’t permissible in the court room – just that they are more confusing than general illustrations

d) No, she doesn’t do that in this paragraph.

e) ~

I’m really stuck and torn between answer choices B and E and I’m not sure I can figure out what the differences are on my own. Both look really good. The objection in the second paragraph to custom-made medical illustrations is that they misrepresent facts to comply with a partisan interest. The third paragraph says that the complaint is that they distort the issues through a variety of means. Does this count as a variant then? It feels like it does

Answer choice E seems tricky because it’s not lengthy but the paragraph does say that it’s an issue of complexity and simplicity and that this is in effect the differences between the two. Both answer choices seem really good.

I recently finished the cc and just wanted to see how some of you may be organizing your time with PTs and doing the fool proof method. For example, I'm going to take another PT but I still have to finish fool proofing the logic games from the last one. I'm afraid that if I end up taking PTs w/o finishing fool proofing, everything will stack up. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

I'm working through drafts of my personal statement and realized that it may overlap with one of my LORs.

Basically, I took Public Speaking and Storytelling as electives during my senior year of college. I had expected them to be complete fluff classes but they actually turned out to be really helpful and I connected very well with the Professor. My PS is going to focus on my personal development speaking, attempting stand up comedy, and how storytelling/public speaking has helped me decide that I want to be a trial lawyer.

One of my LORs is coming from the Professor who taught these classes. She has already submitted it to LSAC and I'm not exactly sure what she wrote about. Would it be a problem if my PS and an LOR overlap some? Should I ask this professor about the gist of what she wrote so I can tailor my finished product accordingly?

Hey everybody! So here's my situation.

I have a 3.33 GPA (ugh) and I'm 3 years out of school. Applying for next fall so it'll be 4 years by then. Have a 165 on the LSAT but am retaking in a couple weeks and am confident that I'll do better - PTing in the low 170s, I feel there's a shot at a high score too.

Last cycle, I did ED to Emory but decided to back out. They offered me 80k in scholarships as well - a good deal but I didn't feel great about the whole thing, so I decided to wait another year, move to Nepal to do humanitarian stuff, and then attend next year.

I should also say, I have a pretty solid resume when it comes to volunteer experience/non-profit work - I want to do public interest law - and have been rebuilding homes in New Orleans post-Katrina for the past 3 years with a non-profit. I've also worked for several other non-profits, including the ACLU of Tennessee and the Family Equality Council.

Here is the thing though - I don't really want to be strapped to 200k+ in debt to have a public interest career. However, there is LRAP so I could have it all forgiven in 10 years, which is great. I would also like to attend school in the Northeast (girlfriend, family, etc.). The schools I'm thinking are NYU (top choice), Georgetown, and some others that are a bit of a reach, and also schools I'm fairly confident I'll get into w/ money - Emory, UGA, GW.

Should I do ED to NYU? Does it make a difference? If I were to get in, would that sacrifice any scholarship offer I'd get? Are my numbers so low that scholarships are impossible anyway? Say I get a 172 on the LSAT this time around. Would the advice be different?

Thanks, dudes.

Hey everyone,

Below is a breakdown of my 10 recent LSAT scores. I've been using PTs in the lates 60s (68, 69) and the rest 70s.

What do you think my odds are of hitting at least 160 next week?

159

169

157

159

160

161

163

157

159

161

Figure this might be a way to keep confidence up on test day. Doing this after having completed each section perhaps?

Can anyone explain to me why D is correct? This question is about the concert hall.

Hello! I am planning to take the december LSAT and started studying really lightly -- about 5 hours a week in June and then ramped things up to studying full time at the end of August -- about 36 hours a week. I am signed up for a prep course with Blueprint, which will end in time for the December test. After reading 7Sage's discussion forums and general advice, i'm now having cold feet about the timeline of things -- will 4 months be enough time to prep if I am studying full time? I don't think a year timeline is quite realistic for me...

Any experience/advice would be so appreciated!

I finally took a full PT. I chose PT76 under time limit with 144. I finished most of the LG class and ready for LR course on. My goal is to enter 170s.

I got internship 4 of 5 days. I use the lsat blog schedule and use the 7sage course with reading LSAT trainer。

.How much I should do for drills before full section？ My LSAT is in December.Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Good morning guys. Was hoping I can get some insight on a recent phenomena I encountered on my last 3 PT scores.

A week ago I was so excited to have finally broken 170+. I got a 173 on PT 30. I think I must have gotten cocky or overconfident because on the next test I did (PT 54) I got a 160! My most recent test was PT 21, which was a 172.

Has this ever happened to anyone of you? I'm a little concerned since we pretty much have a week till game day so I just want to see what loose ends I can tie up. I know that my mindset of being cocky may have had a large impact. Any suggestions as to how I can be more consistent in staying in the 170 range would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!
