I know that Bellingham isn't a huge town, but I was wondering if there was anyone in the Bellingham or even Seattle area who wanted to study together? I also wouldn't mind doing a little Skyping, I just think I would really benefit from a study buddy! I am planning on taking the September test (and applying in the fall).
If you're at all interested, please let me know :)
I applied to all my schools by March 1st/4th but haven’t received a decision from several schools (they just say they’re completed/in review).
Should I contact their admissions office or does it look bad to ask them to look at my application?
Hey - I'm looking for someone to review problem sets or practice exams. I'm on EST and can review on weekends or weeknights. Please let me know if anyone is interested. My email is Nocera4@tcnj.edu
Hi everyone! I'm not sure what to do about this, so hoping maybe someone else has experienced the same issue. I haven't been able to use the search function in Lawhub for a long time, and it didn't work on my June test (didn't submit for a retake, I didn't realize I could). The highlight function also often hits the wrong words, which takes even longer to get through RC. Has anyone else has this happen, and how did you fix it?
Thank you!!
Hey everyone I just started studying for the LSAT I'm not from Toronto but interning here at a law firm for the summer and looking for other people around the area who are also gearing up to take their LSAT. Would love to create a group or find anyone who is looking for someone to study with.
Hello hello!
I took the February test this weekend (yay!), but I ran into some trouble trying to take the argumentative writing section. When I went to take it last week, my Google Chrome gave me a "Privacy Error". I had to call and ask them to reset the section for me! My plan is try it again tomorrow, but I wanted to ask if any other Mac-users experienced the same issue and what you did to get around it.
Thanks!
I'm planning to take Dec exam so if anyone wants to do full practice tests (in the 70s) together, please msg me.
Is anyone else having issues with the audio in Safari? It was working fine until a few weeks ago. Its okay with the other browsers but I like Safari better because you don't have to wait for the video to load. Could it be something to do with having Ad Block or a missing codec or something?
I live in EST and study from 6-10pm PT Sat, and BR sundays. DM if interested!
Hey guys! Can someone please help me with understanding exactly how to do BR for reading comp? It's seems much more intuitive to me how do to BR for LR and LG but not so much for RC. Thanks for your help:)
Before the August test, I was scoring in the high 160s most of the time, with high scores of 172, 174, and 178. Miraculously, I got a 172 on the August test. This is including going to the restroom during a scored section, so I think I could have done better. I need a higher test score in October or November, but I am so tired. Any advice for making that jump? I want a 177.
I'm planning to take the LSAT in June 2016 and was wondering if anyone near would mind meeting to study? Please let me know, thanks!!!
Third call info:
Take PT 50 and BR on your own before the call.
Submit 2-5 questions you want to review here: https://goo.gl/forms/MEUpRULFRSrHe1Ba2
Note: We will try to limit the calls to under 2 hours. We will review LR questions first and only review RC if we have time.
We will not be reviewing LG.
This step is important: Come prepared to speak through how you approached the question you submitted. If more than one of us had trouble on the same question, we can each have an opportunity to speak through our thought process/which choices we were stuck between. The rest of the group then discusses.

My goal for this study group is for everyone to both contribute and benefit from each other's success. I want to help you get to that next level and I'm asking for your help to get me there as well.

Hi there! I am from the Milwaukee area and plan to take the LSAT in April. I was wondering if anyone in the area wanted to meet in-person to become study buddies so we can teach and learn from each other!
LSAT Party time, that is!

!!LONG POST INCOMING!! But I'm pretty lost right now.
I've hit a plateau in my studying where I always get at around 5-6 questions wrong per section because and it's usually just the hardest questions give or take maybe 2 misreads for simpler ones. I know exactly how to each question should be done and answered and I think my biggest issue is that for those hard questions I simply just don't really understand the stimulus and even if I do, the right answer choice sometimes escapes me due to a technicality in wording.
I do run into a bit of an issue with certain question types for sure like weaken or MBT questions. The issue here is that even if I know how to do them and I can get the question right it just simply takes me to long to deduce the right answer. I've been basically trying to drill these question types more often using the filter and also doing more timed practices.
At the same time, I think I also struggle just simply completing the logical reasoning section. I'll range anywhere from 1-5 questions that I simply run out of time for. I try my best to be quick but even at my best I'm left with 2 questions undone. I've seen that some people have time left over to go over previous questions, a speed that seems completely unreachable to me at the moment.
So I guess there are three issues I'm running into and three questions I'm hoping some of you can give me advice on:
I've heard a lot of "just do more questions" and I definitely am but I was wondering if anyone was doing anything specific in terms of drilling or even stuff outside of the LSAT (reading more books/news articles) that you find has helped with your score.
Did anyone find it very difficult? I've taken about 20 PT's and my lowest score on RC previously was -6. Landed a -11 on this one yesterday
I am planning to take the LSAT in Feb and need to lock in. I have not taken many PTs, and have mostly focused on foundational knowledge and drills. I've discovered that I score well if given adequate time (~167) but score significantly lower under time constraints (~155). I need help with being time efficient while maintaining accuracy and, of course, improving my overall score. I will try to make myself available whenever! LMK!
Do you have to contact your verifiers and let them know you will be using them? (former employers)
I just started the practice only part of my plan. For timing what should I put.
Is it just me or did anyone find the RC on 79 way harder than usual? Is this a trend that continues to the 80s?
Thanks in advance and I hope this helps other people as well. (I watched J.Y.'s video, but I would like to see more strategies that work).
Hi, I am a first year BBA student at Wilfrid Laurier University. Is there anyone who is willing to study with me? If you go to Laurier or are around the area, if would be really cool if we could study in-person. Otherwise, I am just looking for anybody who feels that they could use a partner. Thanks!
Hello friends!
I am currently applying to a law school in little rock and there is a section that is required, titled, "Statement of Uniqueness." This section says to explain any distinct experiences that I have encountered in my life and how I have grown from those specific aspects. I am a little confused because this section also has an area where you can say, "this section does not apply to me." What should I do? I don't necessarily have some super distinct experiences in my life, so is this necessary?
All help is much appreciated.
Hello, 7Sage team & fellow 7Sagers.
I have been utilizing the RC passage explanations and have been wondering what I am supposed to get out of them. It seems the level of detail you all go into is well beyond the level of detail we should be absorbing during our read through under time pressure.
In the lessons, we were given a somewhat different sort of break down where low res. summaries and predictions of the following paragraph content were discussed. I found this very helpful as a check on how I broke down the passage and utilized this analysis to answer the questions.
I realize that there is a passage summary underneath the video explanation, but again I am just confused on how these video explanations aid in our RC abilities.
I apologize if their usefulness is obvious to everyone else. I just felt the need to express my thoughts in a manner in which I could receive some feedback.
Thank you.
