I hope someone knows the answer to this question —

I am currently enrolled in a master's program (at a different school than that which I attended for undergrad), in which I have gotten straight A's. I know that graduate level courses do not count towards the LSAC's calculations of GPA. However, I have taken five undergraduate courses during the course of this program (4 were prerequisites and 1 is an elective language course). Will these undergraduate course grades count towards the calculation of my GPA when applying for law school?

do you think its better to take the same drill with the same questions or to take drills that resemble the test with the questions being mixed in terms of being really prepared for test day and the actual format that we are tested with

    Mainly the title but to add some context: most of the questions I get wrong I simply just misinterpreted the stimulus, whenever I watch a explanation video for a question I just didn't understand it always comes back to "I did not understand what I just read". To help with this I am actively reading on the side every day but if there is anything else I am missing please let me know. Furthermore, my analytics do not really show a pattern of question type that I am absurdly getting wrong. I have made study plans focusing on question types that I am not extremely confident with but I am wondering if I just need to take more tests or review the CC?

    I know 7Sage is primarily a LSAT prep oriented forum but I thought I'd post some info regarding the recent employment outcomes for the class of 2014.

    The data is being compiled in a thread on TLS forum: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=245859

    The google spreadsheet that is being updated can be found here for the Top 50 schools or so: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i1UhZ1rd-2P88CnWESVMXsfTID4waRIx1z_oYGT6p80/htmlview?sle=true#gid=14086468

    I started doing this course this week. I just completed doing the blind review by going through the diagnostic test for June 2007. I am not sure that I did the blind review correctly as I went down two points post blind review.

    My process of completing the blind review was watching the videos twice each, making notes and following through. I completed step one by going through the circled and seeing if I need to change or not and did that for all four sections. I originally was going through the whole test again and searched through the forums to see if I was doing it right. I then just went through the rest of the test just going through the circled questions. I am uncertain if my process just wasted time. I did the explanations in my head and now I wonder if I should start doing the actual foundations course or go through the other steps of the analysis before moving on to doing arguments on the course. Did I take the diagnostic to early or should I just continue with what I am currently doing by going through that prep test and sitting down and analyzing my choices and answers with all the questions. Can I change the prep test to printed test without any issues so I can analyze each question. Should I rework my process? Need advise on what to do!

    It shows this on the Blind Review under action:

    If you have trouble understanding the trap, then you should:

  • Watch the video explanation for this question

  • Talk to other students about it

  • Talk to your instructor about it

    • Is this what I do post blind review since I scored it. Do I end up keeping the questions and reviewing it?

    Looking for a study group in the Raleigh/Cary/Durham area. I'm about an hour away and would love to meet other individuals on the LSAT journey! Currently registered for January and also studying for June.

    Hi all,

    Is anyone else having issues with getting kicked out of PrepTests with plenty of time remaining? I've now been kicked out of three PrepTests all with at least 15 minutes remaining in a given section. This has become increasingly frustrating as it's not allowing me to get a valid score or accurately track my progress. If anyone has experienced this, please let me know if you found a solution.

    Thank you!

    Hi there. I've been hearing conflicting things about this topic. From what I've heard, as long as you don't completely mess up, there;s a very good chance of getting into a Biglaw firm upon graduation at a T14 schools. I've heard, too, that it is likely to get into a Biglaw position at any T50 school, though the drawbacks sometimes is that you are limited in a regional sense. For example, Boston College sent many many students to Biglaw firms, but mainly in the Boston area. Thoughts on this? Trying to decide, as someone who wants to get into Biglaw after law school, whether I should even consider applying to schools outside the T14 or not. I've just heard conflicting things.

    I had drafted my essays for Yale in 11pt font prior to reading that they require 12pt. Anyone have a perspective on how much wiggle room their "approximately" language provides? Feel free to comment or just respond to the poll below.

    Example directions are: "The optional essay should be approximately one double-spaced page, formatted in a professional 12-point font,"

    UNC is my dream! though, my GPA is somewhat mid i think, sittin pretty at 3.64 and i take the LSAT next weekend. i've been scoring in the low 160s, so i'm anticipating somewhere around there (if i end up with below a 160, i'm retaking- also yes i know i'm likely to do worse on the real deal but i'm being optimistic hehe). if anyone is super familiar with UNC or their admissions office, is it possible for me to get accepted? rather, is it likely? also important to note that i believe my personal statement will be quite strong, as i have quite a bit of writing experience (if that would make much of a difference). thanks!

    I get extra RC practice in by reading articles that are a bit longer than typical LSAT RC passages and that also feature current events (makes it easier for me to be an engaged reader). Here's a good one in a recent WSJ regarding Maya Lin's light-drenched revamp of the library at Smith College. Happy reading! (Hopefully the link works) Don't forget to low-res on the way! https://emailshare.cmail19.com/t/n/d-l-44ffaf57962d11eba555e043580a8292-l-d-r-l/

    Hello everyone,

    I am planning on writing the November test, and am wondering:

    When will the LSAC announce whether the November test will be in-person or flex? (I cannot imagine the test not being flex, but I am curious as to whether other people share the same thoughts)

    While we do not know whether the November test will be flex or not, should I PT with 4 section tests or 5 section tests?

    Thankful for any feedback!

    Not sure if "taking a cut" is exactly how the policy works. I've heard having a BL summer associate salary will affect how you receive need-based aid, or that the salary is not fully yours.

    I heard this a while back about Harvard and then again on social media a couple weeks ago about Harvard, YLS, and Stanford. I don't really know the specifics.

    Does anyone know which law schools do this and how it works?
