December Test Takers! This is it! This is what you’ve all been waiting for! One last BR and then on Saturday, it’s game on!

My advice: taper down on effort. You don’t necessarily have to do nothing this week (especially LG. Use it or lose it), but this week should require less effort from you than the past 10 weeks have. In other words, don’t do 5 PTs this week. And if you can, don’t look at the score of any PTs you take this week. Confidence is so important for the LSAT, and you don’t want yours wrecked by one stupid score. Just take the PT and BR and then have fun discussing the test in a BR group. And that leads into the last piece of advice for this week: Have fun and remember this Saturday’s test is just PT 77. That’s it! Best of luck to all of you!

Hope to see tutors, mentors, and friends (maybe Mike Kim again :) ) at the Pep Rally. Show your support even if you aren’t taking it this Saturday!

Be sure to announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76 and PM your email for Google Hangout.

  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.

  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it."

  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    Well with the Nov test scores out, I finally have my stats and am ready to start applying.

    2.47 CAS GPA

    168 LSAT

    7+ years WE with upward mobility

    T3 softs

    Pretty decent professional LOR

    I don’t have any real geographic constraints (though my local regional school is my target.) Looking for splitter friendly schools and those likely to give scholarships to someone with my background. Thanks for any help!

    Thank You 7 Sage Community and to my wonderful 7 Sage study buddies !! I am so blessed to be admitted to UC Hastings Law!! It has been a journey as I was a reapplicant. Never give up and keep on going!

    I plan to visit UC Hastings Law as I am a newbie to the Bay.

    At this stage, should I consider submitting applications to other UC schools? Amongst UC law schools, I only applied to UC Hastings. My goal is to attend an institution in CA, and in-state tuition would be affordable/plus.

    Many thanks and good luck everyone! :)

    I have been reviewing LGs and I am over thinking this I think...

    You know how sometimes we split out game boards and make as many inferences at the beginning as we can?

    When CAN you use those boards to answer questions, and when can you NOT use them (i.e., you would need to draw a new board)?

    I am confused b/c sometimes I split out game boards, and the question reads something like "If J is in 4 then where must H be?", so then I look through my boards and find one where J is in 4 to see where H must go. But then sometimes I get those wrong... Because I did not create a new game board for the question...

    I have been studying for a while. My highest on a practice test is 163 and I've gotten 160 a couple of times. However, my blind review highest scores have been 169 and 171. The reading comp is the defining factor at times. Should I wait to take the lsat in Jan or do I just take it next month. Im signed up for both. additionally, what are some strategies you use during reading comprehension. I want to continue scoring higher but sometimes I get 18/19 and at other times 13/14. The next lsat is closely approaching.

    Bailey and Henry dive into what it means to “study like a tutor” and why adopting that perspective can make your prep more focused and consistent. They explain how tutors analyze mistakes, evaluate reasoning, and break down patterns, and they show you how to bring those same habits into your own LSAT work.

    Hey 7sagers. I am doing the in/out games and am trying to print off the pdfs for each practice question. For example, http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/inout-game-2-prompt-and-questions/

    However, sometimes when I click the link to either download the pdf or to just get to the link above through the syllabus page I am instead directed to https://classic.7sage.com/enroll/?_s2member_seekingpage=1256

    I am a member already so I shouldn't be having this issue. Any ideas?

    Edit: Tried on other various links from the "syllabus" page and all links are doing it randomly. Sometimes I click and it will work, sometimes it will take me to the enrollment page.

    Hey everyone! I applied last cycle with what I thought was a very holistic and strong application. I had strong LORs and very well-edited (from 7Sage Staff) Personal and Diversity Statements. My resume was relatively strong as well but my LSAT was slightly low and my GPA was average for my goal schools. As I am currently studying to retake the LSAT on this upcoming exam date, I wanted to ask if I must rewrite my personal or diversity statements and if there is harm in resubmitting the same copies. Nothing has really changed within the last 10 months or so since my last application and I don't think I could come up with a better PS topic. In regards to LORs, I got two of them updated but wanted to ask if I can resubmit one of my LORs from last year as well? I remember reading somewhere that when you are a reapplicant for say school X, they receive both a copy of your last year's application attached to your new application. In that case, I think having everything the same other than the LSAT score (hopefully an increase) would not be that compelling but I am not sure. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    A question about early decision - if I apply early decision to a law school and then for various factors I decide I am not going to go to law school at all (very complicated explanation for this but I may end up getting a very lucrative job and not go). What would this mean for me? It cant force me to go to the law school I am assuming.

    I am seeing online "that your required to attend that particular school or not go to law school at all that year" from a blog on power score. But just curious if anyone has more insight

    Just took PT 84 - wondering if anyone found the LR kind of weird? Not hard per se, but for example PT 84 S2 Q2 (an NA) was more of a soft NA answer? They are usually a lot more clear. Idk maybe I’m just being picky but I found there were a couple questions where the answers were a lot more subtle to me.

    
Anyways, onto PT 84 S2 Q11

    I knew AC was right but crossed it off because I thought it attacked a premise. Looking back it appears I misread the stimulus.

    The premise says: “Many features ..." Admin Note: I deleted the premise and Answer Choice C as it is against our Forum Rules to post LSAT questions on the Forum.

    And AC C says: "Excessive blinking ..."

    
I thought that the stimulus read “excessive blinking is not such a feature of confidence” (rather than saying "blink rate is not a feature")

    My question is, if it had said what I thought it said, would AC C have been an attack on the premise like I thought it was?

    Here I am, a day before taking my first official LSAT, finding out that I should have applied for Accommodations due to Fibromyalgia.

    Lesson learned; certain rights and privileges are almost useless unless an individual is informed of their ability to exercise said rights and privileges.

    Hoping others who need Accommodations won’t make the same mistake I did.
