Slogged on LSAT for a long time many years ago on PAPER and took it on paper. Had a tough time even on paper with 35 min time.

I hear it's now changed to DIGITAL.

Can't imagine how much worse it gets on DIGITAL.

Those who have seen both and did 99% percentile score, how bad or good is the new format?

Were you scoring the same on Paper vs Digital?

Does anyone know where to find more recent tablet stimulated lsats ? I’ve gone through all of 7Sage’s and want more recent test if possible! Thanks in advance

Hi all. So I'm taking my LSAT next week and I've been scoring in the high 160's and low 170s on all my practice tests so far. Most of the time when I get a question wrong it's only because I read the question stem wrong. But since this is my first LSAT, I want to retake it in January just so I have one more try before applying to Law Schools. I've already started some of my applications.

The issue is that in January I'm getting a rhinoplasty procedure a couple of days before the LSAT. I know I can't push it to February because I want to apply to T-14 and T-20 schools and I feel like they wouldn't accept an LSAT as late as February, but I'm not sure.

Do you guys think my operation would have any impact on my performance on test day? It's a closed operation so I won't have stitches or anything. Is it worth the risk, or should I just take it in February instead. Ideally I would've postponed the procedure but it's been scheduled for months now and it would be too expensive to make changes at this point.

Or alternatively, I can take it in January and then once more in February, but how bad does 3 tries on the LSAT look?

Holidays are coming up, testing a while from now, was going to take a short break perhaps a few days during Christmas so was wondering what was the bare minimum to not get worse on the test?

Would you recommend just taking a few days completley off or doing just like one hour a day of games or something

7 Sage is an excellent method of preparing for LSAT as all here know.

I was wondering if anyone has experiences with LSATMax and can they recommend for LSAT prep.

I was thinking in terms of Jan2020 LSAT preparation.

I have a marijuana-related charge from when I was 15. It has since been expunged. I've noticed some applications let you know that if something has been expunged, you do not have to report it. Others say that regardless you must. If an application fails to address what to do if records have been sealed/expunged, what should I assume?

Did some searching on the forums and couldn't find a clear cut answer on fool proofing.

For context - I am scheduled to take the JAN 2020 LSAT (may move it to FEB 2020).

I am currently just through the CC on LG, about to start RC. I am almost always able to solve the logic games with -0 or -1, however, time is almost always an issue. New games definitely take me longer than what JY recommends, but I can usually get them almost perfect with more time.

I took the SEP 2019 LSAT and scored 153 and went -11 on LG/AR, -10 on RC, and -18 on LR.

I feel that the core curriculum will definitely improve my LR scores - there was some basic concepts that I was missing that I think will enable me to improve there. At this point - does it make more sense to spend the time to start fool proofing AR/LG or to move on to RC? I went close to -10 on both, but understand the concepts behind LG well enough to solve them, albeit slowly.

Would love to hear feedback from folks who have been here before...I am applying this cycle for Fall 2020 start. I’ll be 30 when I do start and prefer not to delay applying any longer (military background) and really want to start on this next phase of my life becoming a lawyer.

I took in 2016 and scored a 161. I took the July and canceled after I scored a 157. After a lot of time and studying I was PTing 164-168 fairly consistently. Yesterday’s test felt more difficult for me but not enough to cancel. I honestly don’t know where it will fall though; gut feel is on the lower end but fingers crossed.

Because I have the July cancel, I have a voucher for a free retake. Should I sign up for January and if November comes back with a score I can be ok with, I could just not take January? I have almost all of my application materials complete besides a couple LORs and school specific essays. I am likely going to apply to GULC early decision. My plan was to hit send on apps before the new year. If I wait till January then I’m delaying that by at least 6 weeks and applying late in the game. Scholarships are not really a priority, just desire getting into the best school I can to go into BigLaw.

Also, last but not least...I really don’t have the willpower or desire to push myself like I did from July to November. I had mixed emotions leaving the test, but the good was all to do with being done and moving on. However I also recognize I let the pressure get to me more than it should have on this test and I could do better. Any thoughts or stories for perspective would be helpful!

Hi, All!

I just checked my law school application status and one of them says "Application Pending Final Review." What does this mean? I think I know what it means... my application is going through a final review... is this a good thing or a bad thing? I submitted my application late October and decisions aren't supposed to come out until February.

Now that I think about it, I feel like I'm just overreacting and overthinking haha. Anyway, please shed some light. It's my second application cycle and all I've ever gotten before were waitlist and denied.

Thank you all and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi. My name is Juan and I'm starting this new discussion in hopes of connecting with others that suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder and are taking the LSAT with accommodations. If there is anyone in the community that would like to share their experiences, tips or support on how to succeed on the LSAT while having this disorder, I and I'm sure many other will appreciate it. Thanks!

Juan

Any helpful tips for LR? I miss questions and then when I look at it a second time I know the right answer without looking at what I chose etc and get them all right. Not sure if pressure is playing a part in this or what the hell is going on.

nevermind

Anyone near San Jose willing to study?

Would be happy to trade drafts, discuss applications, and work towards deadlines with another student. I'm a nontraditional student determined to apply this time around.

I know that schools can now receive your scores without the writing sample, but I wonder if they won't actually make a decision until they have it. Has anyone been accepted this cycle before their LSAC writing sample was processed (since it can take up to a month)? Thanks!

Hi everyone! As I am anxiously awaiting my November score, I have been working hard on my personal statement and am seeking a few fellow 7Sagers to swap with! I am applying this cycle and want my apps in by the end of 2019 so please reach out if you are interested. I am applying to all of the schools within the Chicagoland area also.

Has this happened to anyone? Will I have to retake it? THIS SUCKS.

Took the digital LSAT. I filled one question at the last minute but lsac did not credite with an answer. I am 💯 sure that I filled it. How do I dispute this? Please help.

Anyone wants to swap and we read each other. I want some feedback. :)

I was BR-ing this and I have some questions, but I'm not sure of we are allowed yet.

Hey everyone,

During the summer, I asked one of my former employers for a LOR (Letter of Recommendation). I worked for him for 3yrs as more of a personal assistant than a legal assistant. I did do some legal work for him (small claim suits related to his real estate business) but most of my responsibilities were non-legal. Since I graduated from college about 10yrs ago, academic LORs are out of the question. So, my former employer agreed to write a letter for me and to help him draft it, I provided him with a binder full of info about LORs, a sort of guide if you will. The most important thing I included in this guide was a detailed list of the legal projects I worked on and what I did in those projects. I also told him to take his time, and to contact me when it was ready because I had a family friend who happened to be a Notre Dame Law School grad who could proofread the letter and give him feedback.

A few months later, my boss emailed me the letter and without reading it, I took it to my family friend for proofreading. After reading it and going over my resume, my family friend shockingly told me that the letter was prominently missing anecdotal info about what I worked on in my previous job. In other words, my former boss either forgot or chose not to include one of the various legal projects I worked on. I haven't read the letter, but I get the feeling that it's full of platitudes and generalities about why I want to attend law school. As most of you know, anecdotal info is paramount to a LOR. So I think the letter needs major improvement.

I'm a little confused on how I should proceed though: how should I tell my former employer that he needs to carefully revise and include anecdotal info in my LOR? I don't want to sound too forceful or complain about the letter because he might misinterpret my concerns or may just rush through it just to get it out of the way (he's a busy guy); but at the same time, I'm concerned that he didn't take his time in writing it because in the guide I provided, I stressed multiple times that anecdotal info is of utmost importance in a LOR. Maybe he didn't bother to look over the guide, which means he didn't meticulously or carefully craft my LOR, or as much as I would have liked him to. I want to respond to him as soon as the holidays are over, but I don't know how I should approach this. Any advice or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

To what extent are numbers important to a law school because of competition with other schools versus to what extent they're important as a means of establishing a candidate's preparedness?

I want to put all the HARD questions into a question bank I made on a word document to make them easier to study. However I cannot copy and paste any of the questions, what should I do?

Hi,

Can anyone explain why the answer is B instead of C? Why exactly is C wrong?
