Hi all,

So I currently I have my law school search narrowed down to 3. Indiana, Illinois, and Chicago-Kent. I've visited Kent and Indiana (both are awesome and visiting UofI end of March). I want to work for a larger firm 100+ attorneys. I've noticed that these schools place similar numbers of students into these size firms--looking at LST reports from 2017. I know that Illinois and Indiana place better in larger firms but that is considering the entire graduating class--- JD required positions and non--JD required. When you limit the population to JD required positions only the difference between the 3 for employment at firms with 100+ attorneys is not that great. My question is do you think it is safe to think about employment in this way? I know the assumption is that I would pass the bar and become a practicing attorney but at the same time I wonder how much of the high numbers in non-jd positions at Kent is do to selection?

Thanks for any input advance

Hi everyone ! I signed up to take the powerscore live class for the October lsat and I'm wondering if anyone here has taken it before ? I've written the lsat twice and exam anxiety got the best of me the last time... 7 sage has been really helpful so far but I'm determined to get in this cycle and I think that an in-person class would be helpful.

If anyone's taken it before, do you have any tips/recommendations ? I scored in the 140 the first time I wrote it (I was 18 and didn't study at all), and the second time I Had an anxiety attack in the middle of the exam because I thought I filled the bubbles in wrong.

I know that it's an exam you need to learn and not study and I'm slowly trying to shift gears into thinking that way this time around. But if anyone has taken the powerscore exam while using the 7sage course I would love your thoughts and how/if doing both programs together helped your score.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently signed up for the November LSAT, but I’ve been feeling really stuck and could use some advice. My practice test scores are still in the 140s, and even though I’ve been studying consistently, I’m not seeing the improvement I was hoping for. I’m aiming for at least a 157, but right now that feels out of reach.

I’ve been using 7Sage to go through the core curriculum and drilling with LSAT Demon (Basic plan), mostly focusing on Logical Reasoning and some Reading Comprehension. But honestly, I’m not sure I really know how to study. I watch the videos, do drills, and review my answers — but I don’t feel like I’m learning how to avoid the same mistakes or actually build better habits.

Reading Comprehension is by far my worst section. I feel like I’m always running out of time or just completely missing the structure and purpose of the passages. Logical Reasoning is a bit better, but I’m still not where I want to be.

I’m thinking about upgrading my Demon plan in October to get access to live classes and more targeted help, but I’m also wondering if I need to change how I’m approaching my studying in general.

If anyone has broken out of the 140s — especially using Demon or 7Sage — I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you. How did you improve your Reading Comp? How did you review in a way that actually led to progress?

Thanks in advance — I really want to make this happen, but I know I need to work smarter if I’m going to reach my goal by November.

Hard RC Recs?

Hi! I'm taking the LSAT on Monday. My RC has always fluctuated, and I am hoping to practice with a really difficult section to make sure I'm ready for a worst-case scenario. Does anyone know of any particular RC sections that are science- and law-heavy and/or just have a lot of hard-to-spot inference questions? Thanks so much, and if you're taking October too, you got this!! <3

Hey guys, please help

I have been looking for a LR question that I did (I have impression because I spent 3 mins on it during blind review and it is pretty tough) but I couldn't find it even after I have gone through the entire question bank. I remember starring the explanation, but when I looked again it is just not there. I am getting super super confused right now.

Here are my clues: It is either PMR or parallel flaw, and I think less than 50% people got it right. I don't remember what the stimulus is, but the the correct answer choice is C and it has to do with something like city figure and crime rate.

JY also excliplitly stated that we should skip this question and not waste time on it during real test because it is extremely time-consuming.

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks!

PT71 BR Tonight at 8:30pm ET

Guys, I am so sad to miss this one. Gotta pick some folks up at the airport. Make me less sad by enjoying PT71 BR in my absence. @jengibre will be there to kick it off. And several others will be there too. So you should be one of them.

Remember the kittens ...

Note on all groups

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle nikkers625 .

  • For the regulars: Please let me know if you plan to join tonight's session and have not yet been added to the conversation.

  • 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 please do not check your answers beforehand :-) Or if you do, just try not to say things like "No, guys, I checked, it's D."

  • 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?).

  • PLEASE ... Ask questions !!!! In so doing you are giving others the opportunity to uncover weaknesses in their own understanding, review fundamentals, and ultimately improve their own score. And you're giving yourself the opportunity to do the same. Wow, such harmonious learning experience.

  • 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.

    Hello all!

    Another personal statement swap post here (I know there have been several recently). I am working through drafts of two different personal statement topics. After speaking with my pre-law dean and a friend who gave the exact opposite opinion of my pre-law dean, I am stumped (though I know my dean is obviously more qualified and weigh his opinion much heavier). Anyway, just looking to do an old-fashioned swap. You read mine and I'll read yours.

    Cheers!

    This is for JY, if we have another answer choice ‘an activity that is conducive to healthy nation ought to be protected and encouraged by nation’ then, A, also this answer choice can be a right answer or just we are try to pick the bridge between main premise to conclusion. Thanks, lee
