I wanted to share mine. I frequently look at the law school numbers website to see who's been accepted, how much money has been awarded and etc. I see scores better than my official score, but much lower than my PT scores (either having worse gpas if not exactly the same) getting accepted and even with some scholarship pocket money. I was given a second chance to re-apply to my first choice if I can improve on my June exam. My blood boils at the fact that I can do so well but under performed when it counts, this motivates me to keep going, even when mentally fatigued (I don't mean burnt out.) To clarify I mean that if I've set up an agenda for that day I don't allow myself to fall short OR do it half-assed. GAAA I'm so angry! Fortunately this makes me a crap ton more motivated to keep going and noticing my improvement makes it all more enjoyable! If anyone else wants to share their take please feel free! I just had to let this out!

I am looking for a study buddy/accountability partner for studying. My PTs are in the high 150s and I'm looking for someone in the PST. Please let me know if you're interested! I'm planning to take the October test.

I've been taking some Practice tests for a while, but when I do them, my LSAT scores are pretty low, around 150. However, my Blind Review scores has been improving up to 160-164 consistently. I can't seem to bridge the gap, and want to know how anyone else fixed that problem? When I do BR's I usually choose my second choice, which is always right, instead of taking more time to actually read the question I just click that one and move on, so I'm not sure if timing is the problem? I would also like to see how to choose my second choice on the real test first. If anyone has any tips, please let me know.

Just curious to know if anyone has ever been selected to participate in PBAP for the law school of their choice? Since their LSAT score was lower than the median score?

Hello everyone. As a fellow 0L, just wanted to let you know that I have been working with WUSTL'S career center to improve my resume and get some info about different career/internship options. They have been fantastic!

Proctors: About 5 proctors, all very competent but not uptight and helped to create an overall relaxed atmosphere.

Facilities: Law School Building or Engineering Building. Vanderbilt is a beautiful university with very clean, modern facilities and plenty of room to hang out during the break with comfy chairs and couches.

What kind of room: Large lecture hall

How many in the room: ~50 -60

Desks: Long continuous lecture hall tables, ergonomic chairs with wheels, good lighting.

Left-handed accommodation: There was an empty seat between each test taker, plenty of room for lefties without bumping their neighbor.

Noise levels: Very low to silent, signs in the halls asking people to be quiet, testing in progress.

Parking: I walked to the test but there is parking available, I believe at a ramp several blocks away.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: ~ 1 hr

Irregularities or mishaps: None, proctors are very competent and clearly experienced.

Other comments: Great testing site. October was in the law school building, we were split into 2 smaller lecture halls by last name, February everyone was together in a bigger but almost identical lecture hall in the Engineering building.

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Now you can mention another user in a group chat with `@`.

We've got more features for chat in the works…

For those of you who were waiting to take it here. Just stumbled upon it going through problem sets... no explanations yet, but at least it can be added to your analytics now.

From NYU--

Improvements to the Law School’s Loan Repayment Assistance Program—now LRAP Plus—provide new options for graduates in public service careers.

Most participants in LRAP Plus will be able to earn up to $100,000 a year and have no monthly payment on their law school loans. If participants stay with the income-driven plan for 10 years until completion, their loans can be fully forgiven with the lowest overall out-of-pocket expenses possible.

Sorry if there is another post on here that talks about this.

I just finished the CC, I'm sitting for July (less than 4 weeks away) and am wondering what PT to start with since I have limited time to PT.

I have done a decent job foolproofing, spent a ton of time on LR, and ended with RC so that is fresh on my mind and was doing surprisingly well.

I have a one week vacation from work I plan to take which I'll get about 60 (5 PTs) hours of total study time that week for PT'ing, but weeks with work I'm limited to max out at 25 hours (2 PTs) per week. Giving me a grand total of about 110 hours (not including the rest of this week).

PT's take about 12 hours in total, that's just shy of 10 PTs. Do I start with the most recent 10 then?

Ty in advance.

never mind

I'm taking the September 2024 test in-person, on paper, and was wondering if I was allowed to bring highlighters? I have been using Bailey's highlighting strategies for reading comp and wanted to know if I should be prepared to not be able to do that on the actual exam???

As the June test is fast approaching, I have been focusing on what seems to be my weakest section which is reading comprehension. I miss at best 8 or 9 questions, and usually do not finish within the time restraints. I would like to reduce this number to about -5. This would help me boost my score by two or more points. Does anyone have a specific way that they attack the passages which has led them to see an increase to their score on this section? I employ certain techniques such as circling keywords and names as well as evidence/conclusions. I have also tried looking at the questions before reading the passages but it does not seem to help me improve. I am open to any suggestions anyone might have. Good luck with your studying!

Hi guys!

So I am a senior in college and will be signing up to take the June LSAT. I am currently scoring in the 165-166 range but am looking to score at least a 170 in June. I will be having a very busy senior spring and thought it wise to try and find people to study with in order to keep up the energy and motivation for the next coming months. Also, I think it's a great way to speed up the learning process by learning from each other. While I will not be able to meet (school in a relatively remote location), correspondence by email/Skype/morse code/Batman signals would all be ways to stay in touch (albeit some more ideal than others). Thanks and happy studying!

I will be taking the June 2020 LSAT and plan to take it once more either in August or October. I have paid for the test itself, but I'm wondering when would be the best time to purchase CAS. Additionally, should I purchase the packages that allow me to send the reports to schools now, or wait until I have taken the test (in case I don't get the score I want)? Or should those be done after I take the second test so that those scores will be sent? I'm new to this whole process, so I would love any advice on this! Thanks!

Looking for study buddy, shooting for 170 range. Msg me if you are around too :)

If anyone wants to review PT 68 with me tomorrow (Friday) over google hangout/skype. private message me and we can get started. Logical reasoning, both sections.

Hey all, Al here.

Throughout my long (and I mean LONG) journey with the LSAT, I've come across this specific issue more times than I can count! I'd like to give my own personal thoughts on this topic.

Fellow LSAT students (non-7sage included) have reached out to me time and time again about this recurring topic: advice. I think it's safe to say that many (if not most) people think advice is inherently good. It is after all rooted in the premise that advice helps to inform and guides those that are lacking in certain information that can help others in the long run. And in many respects, the right advice can provide an enormous positive impact on the person receiving it.

But what's rarely talked about are the devastating effects of bad advice. Bad advice can lead us to do things that we normally wouldn't consider and the negating effect can be as substantial as any good advice. Not only does it deviate a person from one's initial trajectory, but it can undo a lot of the progress they have made on their own.

But what really is the distinction between good and bad advice? Here's what I think are the major distinctions:

1. Advice is inherently subjective. What may be great advice for one person maybe horrible advice for another.

2. Good advice has specificity, whereas bad advice is openly vague. The LSAT is a great example of this. So many of the nuances embedded within concepts can be very hard to absorb and the advice provided has to not only be logically congruent within the parameters of the LSAT...it also has to make absolute sense to the person receiving it. I've seen many people (including myself many times) THINK they have an understanding of a certain tidbit of advice but really have no understanding at the core of it.

3. Good advice more often than not takes time, whereas bad advice is usually impulsive. I've noticed this for myself when I've been asked for advice. When I have the time to really think about a problem, I more often than not have something worth telling the person asking for advice.

I have been the benefactor of both great and bad advice. All three of these tenets that I've mentioned applied to me. Yes, it does suck when we get bad advice. But the onus cannot be entirely on the person providing the advice...the onus is on the one receiving it. At the end of the day, it's all about personal responsibility and knowing what truly works and what doesn't work for you.

Just food for thought.

Hi everyone, I'm starting my LSAT studying journey, looking around and trying different online platforms that I feel work best. I enjoy 7sage, but feel a lot in the core curriculum is locked, like over half, what packages would you guys recommend worked best for you? Thanks!!!!!!

Pretty much what the title says. My main issue is with LR. I used to be able to score 18/25. Then I hit a couple highs of 20/25 and was very, very happy. A week before, I started getting 16/15/14 out of 25, a pretty big dip. Took the Sept test, then about a week break. Did a section drill yesterday, got a 13/25. Is my brain broken? Was it too much to hope for a linear increase? For reference, I work full time, so MTWRF I study 4 hours daily: I wake up an hour before work to study, the hour of my lunch break, and 2 hours when I get home. The weekends are about 8-10 hour days for me. Is it too much to hope for a 160 by Oct?

Hey 7Sagers,

I'm happy to announce that we will be offering a new round of LSAT classes this April and May! In addition to the in-person courses we've been running, we will now also be offering virtual courses and weekend workshops.

Each class is led by a top-scoring 7Sage instructor and offers a chance to build community with fellow aspiring lawyers. All of our 12-week courses come with a free three months of 7Sage Core + Live so that you can take advantage of all our digital resources alongside the class's custom program.

The virtual classes are a new option for 7Sagers outside our in-person cities or who prefer a virtual environment. They also include the three-month subscription and follow the same curriculum as their in-person counterparts.

Is your test date fast approaching and one particular section is still holding you back? Give one of our short weekend workshops a try! These two-day classes are section-specific and designed to help breakthrough a plateau on a short timeline.

Learn more about our Spring courses here!

I have been doing really well on the first 60-65 questions of my practice tests, getting very few wrong, but it is in the last dozen or so questions on the final LR section of the tests where I am getting a majority of my questions wrong. I am aware that the test gradually gets harder throughout the section, but I am unsure why I am struggling so much with this part because I get most of the harder ones right when I drill. Should I be practicing harder drills? If anyone has advice on this problem, let me know.
