Hi all, I graduated in 2025, worked at a tinyyyy Personal Injury firm for 10 months (under an amazing attorney/leader- and I was very involved in the lifespan of each case). I recently switched (4 months ago) to a very administrative role in big law (supporting an attorney in their day to day tasks). How should I frame this experience for my applications- people tell me to try to get involved in substantive work here and talk ab it in my apps (have been here for short time- and would like to apply in Sept.) idk how to position myself best, and how to make an impact in my apps with my experience ?
Hello! My 7Sage course is going to expire after the December test day, which is hopefully going to be a permanent situation cause we're all gonna rock the LSAT!
Anyway, I was wondering if "My Notes" also get deleted/cleared when the course expires? Cause I did take a bunch of notes and I was hoping to keep them.
Thanks in advance for your knowledge!
Greetings!
With the advent of the test being entirely digital now, is it possible for the proctor recording to be integrated with the digital tester? That way you don't have to have the app running in parallel?
Thanks!

Hi everyone I'm looking for study buddies either in person or virtually to motivate each other and help each other out. I am planning on taking the LSAT twice. First attempt will be in September and if I'm not happy with my score then I am retaking it in November. Currently studying 3-6 hours!
Hi all! I'm planning to apply to law school this cycle and am confused about ordering my CAS transcripts on LSAC's website.
When I submitted a transcript request to the community college where I dual enrolled, it says the LSAC mailing address for transcripts (Box 2000-M, Newtown, PA) is invalid. Has anyone else submitted this address? If yes, have your transcripts been delivered?
Also - do I need to wait until my fall classes are reflected on my current university's transcript before requesting it? I know I don't need to wait until my fall grades are posted, but I'm not sure if it's okay for me to submit now without my current enrollment reflected.
Thanks!

I can no longer un-see sufficiency/necessity....
Hey friends, I'm going to be done the CC at the end of August, and start PTing in September for the November LSAT. How many PT's do you think I should aim to do? How many per week? Would you recommend that I supplement each test with a fifth section from an older LSAT to get a feel for how it will feel on test day?
Love to get your thoughts guys!
Anyone wants to swap and we read each other. I want some feedback. :)
Hi all --
I'm retaking, not sure when. Probably not as early as November, but I'm looking to stay sharp in the meantime. I've been through the test once and scored as high as 169 on PT's, but September LG's destroyed me.
Anyone out there? Hit me up.
Received a 164 in July, my average for PT is a 165. Is it worth waiting for October to take again, or should I try applying in September for a reach, like Georgetown? I have heard conflicting advice so I am interested to see what all of you smart people have to say. I know it’s towards the 25th percentile of 163, but I’m hoping that my GPA from a top 30 undergrad university will help me get over that.
Hi all,
Similar to most of you, I am a bit bummed about Saturday's test. I have been studying for about a year now, and felt really prepared. I took the July test, and canceled because it was not where I want to be (164+). Before Saturday, my practice tests were falling between 164-169. I believe I did really well on LR, ok on RC, but I know that I bombed LG horribly. The chances are pretty slim that I score 164 even if I did well on those LR sections. I was already signed up for October, but I'm feeling a bit discouraged and stressed on how to study at this point. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to study for someone who has already gone through all practice tests from 30-87. Should I retake tests I've already taken? Should I use early tests for practice? I was also wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the amount of studying from now until October. Any help is really appreciated!
Thanks!

I know that some schools automatically wave your app fee if you have a LSAC fee waiver. Will I see this reflected on my LSAC portal once my app is finished? Would I have to reach out directly to each school? Also, which T14 schools do not automatically waive the fee? Thanks in advance!
Thank you in advance for any advice!
I have a weird history with the LSAT where I took the 2018 September LSAT cold because I have old school lawyers in my family that said "you don't need to study for the LSAT. If you don't do well you're not meant for law school." So I went in thinking I could do it. Obviously, I scored poorly and was very upset. I also didn't know anything about the LSAT at the time so I didn't know that cancelling a score was an option. (I apologize if y'all are eye rolling while reading this...) I graduating in May and decided to study over the summer, getting my PTs up in the 160-165 range. I went into 2019 September LSAT knowing I would perform in that range if I did well on Logic Games. Well, like most people LG killed me in the first section and I was looking for another LG the rest of the test. I cannot gauge how I did on the other sections even though I didn't feel like I struggled on Reading Comp as much as I have on PTs this summer. I cannot remember anything about the LR sections which makes me so nervous.
I was already registered for the November LSAT so I am definitely taking that now. I am just so confused reading everybody's posts about what law schools consider with multiple LSAT scores. How would it look if I have a terrible score from last year, a cancelled score for September, then retake November and score much better?
I will absolutely be submitting an addendum regarding last year's test but I just don't know what to do. I know this score will be higher than last year, but if it isn't dramatically higher I feel like law schools will look at it and say "she only improved that much after a year of studying?" and put more weight on last year's score.
Please help!!!!!
Hi everyone,
I've just completed the MP and MSS lessons and was wondering...what do you all do when you 96% understand a lesson? I did some custom problem sets from the question bank, and was getting all right except 1 or 2 of the ones designated "hard" or "hardest" every section...do I move on to the next lesson? Do I stay here on MP and MSS? What else can I do to make sure I 100% understand this before moving on?
Thanks!
Hello everyone! I’ve been studying for about 9 months and just did my first full prep test today and scored 169. However, I let myself have a little extra time due to the fact that my ENTIRE family were in the same room as me, talking, cooking, watching stuff etc.
So my question is, other than studying in my own area which I will do starting Monday, how can I ensure to get my time down and still expect a 169?
I just need access to 7Sage's course material and explanation videos. Do I need a subscription to LSAT Prep Plus to gain access?
Hi everyone,
I just upgraded to Ultimate+ from the basic package. I have 2 official scores on file, a 159 -> 162. My last few PT's have been between 164 and 168. I have worked through the core curriculum and I want to begin polishing my skills for the September exam. My BR score tends to be in the mid 170's so I am confident I can attain this come September.
I need some advice on how to utilize the Ultimate+ to efficiently practice. I have no idea how to really use it, especially when creating drill packets.
How do you negate the following sentence?
For most bus drivers, the presence of a supervisor makes their performance slightly worse than it otherwise would be.
In the video for explaining this ac https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-63-section-3-question-06/
JY negate it to all bus drivers, presence of a supervisor makes their performance dramatically worse than it otherwise would be..but i thought to negate most is x you say 0-50% is x. or am I wrong?
Thank you!!
Proctors: The student of the law school proctored the test. They were very cool and quiet. Enforced all rules reasonably and gave proper 5 min warning in all sections. Many test takers had water on the desk while the test was going on, and they didn't object to it even though they probably could according to test instructions.
Facilities: Very good. The test was held in Bannan Hall building in its lecture halls on the first floor. Since the test was on Saturday, the parking garage right in front of the building was open for all and had no parking restrictions. It takes a minute to walk from the parking to the test room.
What kind of room: It was a large lecture Hall with continuously running desks. The room was very quiet and it's almost soundproof from all outside noises.
How many in the room: May be 75-80 test takers per lecture hall. The hall had 6-7 rows of seating and every row had about 10-13 test takers on average. There was plenty of space between test takers so no one felt cramped for space.
Desks: The desks were lecture hall styled continuous running desks. So everyone in the same row is pretty much on the same desk as it runs across the hall. The chair didn't have any armrest but it was not needed either. Overall very comfortable seating arrangement.
Left-handed accommodation: I am right handed and didn't pay attention to it. But the desk/chair style was handedness-agnostic, i.e. it should be just as easy for left-handed as for the right one.
Noise levels: Very quiet, I didn't hear any noise.
Parking: Right next to the Hall, less than 1 minute walk away is a large parking garage with free parking on weekends.
Time elapsed from arrival to test: There was a long line outside at 8:30. Everyone was seated in their desks by about 9am and I think the test began around 9:30 or so after instructions.
Irregularities or mishaps: Nothing.
Other comments: All in all, a great test center in a very easy to reach location. The proctors are punctual, careful, and cool. The seating arrangement couldn't be beat.
Would you take the test here again? Yes, I took the test here the first time. But this test center usually doesn't hold the June test as the June test is on Mondays when the law school is in session. So I wasn't able to take the test at this location for the retake.
Hey Guys,
I am an Indian International Student studying in the US. I have been preparing using the US LSAT exams, mostly because I last took the LSAT in the US and also because that is the only material I can find. I am back home in India for a break and registered to take the LSAT here. I am concerned that the material in the test might be different from what I have practiced. Can someone give me some insight into that?
Thanks!
Most of my apps ask me if my education was interrupted, then ask me to elaborate why. I wrote a very brief answer for most of them, but I'm not sure it's enough: "A protracted illness forced me to leave university in March 2012. I returned in August 2016." Columbia wants me to actually attach an addendum detailing exactly what happened. Do I need to detail my medical history or what?
The other thing is I was terminated four years ago from a job I held for two months. Two of my apps ask me to disclose this and they both ask me to elaborate. How detailed should I be? The answer is actually very simple, I was cashiering and my till came up five dollars over one day so I must have accidentally short changed a customer. To my surprise I was fired a few days later. Do I just say that, or do I talk about how I learned from the experience and so forth?
I was reviewing JY's video about approaching parallel flaw reasoning questions in the core curriculum. My favorite commenter @"Accounts Playable" made a comment that I thought would be interesting to answer and/or discuss here.
For parallel reasoning questions, sometimes the stem says that their is a flaw in the argument while others don’t. For the ones that do, obviously there is a flaw. For the ones that don’t is this evidence that the argument is valid? Or could these have flaws as well?
If my understanding is correct, a question stem that asks us to identity the parallel reasoning does not have a flawed argument in the stimulus whereas a question stem that asks us to identify the parallel flaw reasoning does have a flawed argument in the stimulus.
Thanks all!
After sitting for the October LSAT, I took the LSAT writing portion the following day. Upon re-reading it after its recent approval, I am worried that because I made some grammatical and phrasing mistakes, it will impact how schools view my application. I am registered for Nov. 25, but want to send my apps off as soon as possible. If I do retake, is it worth postponing my apps for roughly one week to have a better piece of writing sent to the schools? Does it replace the current one on file? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I just stumbled on the news.
"Due to the COVID-19 emergency, LSAC has made the difficult decision to cancel the March LSAT. Candidates will be rescheduled for the next LSAT and be offered additional scheduling options should interactions continue to be limited. "
So I just finished the exam. Got two LGs - LRs were ok - and was killed by RC. Anyone else out yet?
