When I applied for undergrad, there was a huge emphasis on FAFSA. My question is, do I need to apply for FAFSA for Law School? Is it necessary? Do the FAFSA requirements vary from school to school? If I missed the deadline for this cycle for FAFSA and am in Law School, can I apply during the next cycle? Besides the LSAT, LSAC, CAS and actual school applications, is there anything else I should be applying for or keeping an eye out for?

So I decided to wait until January for the LSAT. I had some pretty significant losses and struggles summer 23 and did not feel I would be ready by November. I even switched full-time jobs in November.

With that is the January LSAT too late for applications too really be considered?

Some people on the forms have talked about this admissions cycle being much slower then normal. Is that what most people are experiencing even in offers?

I have seen so much variation in opinion and I know we are not in the minds of the admissions office, but still just want to gauge general feelings on this.

Stats wise my UGPA was 3.91 (3.92 with CAS report) from a decently competitive institution. I had some technical issues in my final section of the Jan LSAT but otherwise felt really comfortable with all the questions I had.

I know we will all be super stressed until the scores are released...

Hi, I’m working on the 12 LR Drilling sections for MSS questions, and I could use some tips for Blind Review. A lot of what I have listened to makes me as if Blind Reviewing would be more effective when doing PTs. But what i’ve been doing so far is watching the explanation videos for questions I get wrong and then writing down why I get them wrong and why the right answer is right. But I still seem to miss a couple questions during each drill. Any tips?

I think I understand why D is the correct answer choice. However, I am curious as to what you guys think is the best way to approach this question? Clearly using an in an out game board is the best choice. However, this question was hard for me to answer quickly just because it felt like a question that required a lot of trial and error, which obviously didn't work out (especially time wise).

January LSAT

I took the lsat in november and this was my first time taking the lsat and I didn't really study that much maybe a couple of weeks. I got a 135 on the november lsat and after seeing my low lsat score I was eager to see with a couple months of studying would I make a huge jump or improvement before taking the January lsat. The test is in a couple weeks and I am overwhelmed with studying. I am a senior in college and the semester especially with midterms and finals have taken away some of my actual study time from prepping for the january lsat. I have taken a couple practice test and I still seem to be getting 135 on them and not really improving. I am at a crossroads because I wanted to see if I could get at least a 150 on this January lsat to get into this law school in my area this cycle. I feel like if it doesn't happen now I will not pursue it after I graduate this spring from undergrad. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Should I pursue law?

I just wanted to know my chances at a top 100 law school given my background.

Took 6 years to graduate (depression) will include in addendum with a 2.9 with several Ws.

Have been working two years as a legal assistant/paralegal.

What score should I be aiming for? or will my terrible undergrad stop me attending any credible law school.

Thanks,

LSAT Score

Hi! I'm studying to take the LSAT in April and I was wondering if you get a breakdown of each section when you receive your score back from the LSAC.

Since the logic games section will no longer be apart of the test in August, a breakdown would be super helpful if I have to take the exam again to help me determine if I would take it again before they remove the LG section (in June) or after.

Thank you!

I joined a few discussion posts a while ago for trading personal statements but I didn't expect to take this long in my application process. ):

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give me feedback on my personal statement? I have a very rough draft going right now. I could look over yours too if you need.

Is there anywhere we can practice just matching a given question stem for an LR question to an LR question type? I find that when I know the question type, I can approach the question in a far better way than when I do it without matching it directly to an LR type.

I'm looking for something like some flashcards or something where I am given a Qstem and need to match it to a given LR Qstem type. Example: Q -- "Which of the following most helps to justify ..." A -- Pseudo Sufficient Assumption

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there's anyway I could improve how I've been drilling. I started doing questions around the beginning of the month and have been focusing on drilling on LR questions about 5 -10 per day. However, I feel like I've been taking these drills for far too long untimed. Usually I drill 5 questions for about 1 - 2 1/2 hours when doing them. Once I've submitted, I check answers depending on how many I got wrong which can last for up to 2 hours. Filling LR journals take another long time as well. In general, I feel like doing small increments as such eats alot of my time up for the day and feels somewhat ineffective despite trying to score consistently high. If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve drilling/studying for the LSAT, I would much appreciate it. Thx

Identifying flaws

I'm trying to identify flaws. is PT 56 S3 Q10 an equivocation flaw; can you use more than a word but a concept in this type of flaw?

Is PT 52 S3 Q4 a false appeal flaw?

Is PT 54 S4 Q16 an implication flaw ?

thanks

Hey 7Sagers!

We're launching the beta version of the new Core Curriculum which teaches Logical Reasoning more efficiently and effectively! If you're curious, go to your account settings via this link: https://classic.7sage.com/account/?try_v2=1

  • Under "Profile Settings," put a checkmark on "Try new curriculum (beta)"
  • Click "Save Changes"
  • Click "Syllabus" and you'll be looking at the beta version!
  • Remember, this version is still undergoing beta testing. You may come across a few quirks or notice some features from Version 1 that aren't quite yet integrated. We're doing our best to fully switch over, and we appreciate your patience as our team makes the switch!

    If you want to learn more, you can watch this YouTube video:

    💡 Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions regarding Version 2. If your question isn't answered on this forum post, then feel free to comment and ask below! For now, please keep all questions regarding the new Core Curriculum on this thread. If you have any feedback regarding Version 2, we'd love to hear it, too!

    So...what's the difference?

    CCv2 (Core Curriculum Version 2) presents LR through a more streamlined and unified theoretical framework. It's not completely different from CCv1, but we've thoroughly explained LR in CCv2. The RC and LG lessons of both CCv1 and CCv2 are the same.

    The new core lessons use LR questions from PrepTests 61-65, so if you're down to your last few clean PTs and they happen to be those, then this probably isn't for you. But if you're not worried about running out of clean PTs, then this is a great opportunity to see what we've been cooking up!

    Can I switch back to Version 1 if I want to?

    Yes! If you would like to switch back to the old Core Curriculum, scroll to the top of our "Syllabus" page and click the "Switch to V1" button. It's next to the "Collapse" button.

    Should I immediately switch?

    We think yes. Since Version 2 teaches Logical Reasoning more efficiently and effectively, we recommend switching to CCv2 completely. Please note that the RC and LG lessons of both CCv1 and CCv2 are the same. What's changed are the Foundations and Logical Reasoning lessons. Additionally, the new lessons use LR questions from PrepTests 61-65, so if you're down to your last few clean PTs and they happen to be those, then this probably isn't for you. But if you're not worried about running out of clean PTs, then this is a great opportunity to see what we've been cooking up!

    I've already completed Version 1. Should I go back and redo Version 2?

    In this situation, the best way to utilize Version 2 is to look at which question types in your analytics you think you should prioritize, and then view the new lessons for that question type. For example, if your analytics say that you should prioritize Sufficient Assumption questions, then go study and review the new lessons on Sufficient Assumptions.

    Version 2 is shorter than Version 1. Should I be worried?

    Not at all! JY has explained the Logical Reasoning lessons in Version 2 in a more efficient manner. The RC and LG sections are still the same.

    I'm around halfway through LR in Version 1. Should I switch over to Version 2 to complete LR, or should I stick with Version 1?

    With where Version 2 is right now, we think you'll get the most out of your studies by switching over. There's no need to redo modules that you've already done, unless you find yourself needing a refresher, but we think that Version 2 approaches LR in a more unified theoretical framework, which can help with your learning process!

    I can't find CCv2 in my Syllabus!

    Email our student services and let them know (studentservice@7sage.com). They can switch your account on the back end.

    Are the lessons in CCv2 fully complete?

    Yes! CCv2 is fully complete and you can use it without switching back to CCv1.

    Why are there no video lessons for the Foundation lessons?

    JY is currently in the process of recording video lessons for the Foundation lessons. Stay tuned for updates on their availability!

    I bought the 7sage core subscription earlier this week and then purchased the LawHub advantage subscription today. When I try to access practice tests on 7sage, I keep getting a message that I have a LawHub account linked, but it's not the advantage subscription. I checked and both accounts are under the same email address. I also tried the trouble shooting tips, but it's still not allowing me access.
