I’m wondering if anyone else finds the estimated times for the lessons are way lower than the time they are spending? There are some lessons (most lessons) that say they should take 2-4 minutes to read and I spend easily 10 minutes reading them. I’m not worried about it because I think the time I’m taking to really understand the concepts and take notes will help me in the long run. That being said everything is taking me a LOT longer so my studying process will be longer.

Do other people have this experience? Advice? Comments?

I'm 3 years out of undergrad and I'm trying to figure out how many jobs to include in the employment history of my law school applications.

I have 5 full time jobs listed on my resume but I started working at McDonald's when I was 16 and in high school. Should I include all of my part-time work from high school and college? (retail, hospitality, food-service, etc.)

If I list every job (part-time/full-time) and include internships I will be at 17 jobs.

Any thoughts?

Hello!

I'm wondering, for those of you who have taken the latest PrepTest released by LSAC, #94, how you went about answering Question 8? I don't understand how the student can't take Geology and History in Semester 2? I'm probably messing up my Conditional Translations, and DeMorgan's Law somehow... Can someone help?

Does anyone know where the section or something went or what it is under where JY provides a link to articles that can help us get use to reading complex topics?

im taking the exam in person and when i went on lawhub and clicked lsat it said information on scheulding with a proctor has been sent to you, i just wanted to know if you guys see that also or i missed out on an email or something

Hi folks,

So, I have two letters of recommendation on file and assigned to schools. I have asked three people to write me letters, and I am still waiting on the third. I should get it this week (I would hope), but then again I also thought I would have gotten it by now.

My question is: If I submit applications now, without the third letter received (and therefore without it assigned), can I assign it to schools once I do receive it even if I have already submitted the applications for those schools? Or is it impossible for me to assign a letter to a school, so that ideally the admissions committee then looks it over at some point, if I have already submitted the application for that school?

With the utmost respect to all my fellow 7Sage users, I am not interested in advice about whether I should or shouldn't wait to submit applications until I get the third letter. I am interested in the answer to the specific question I asked. Thanks!!

So I have a pretty nasty sinus infection/cold. I'm kind of freaking out about how this is going to affect me on test day on Friday since I can't really focus through fatigue and my symptoms. I took the LSAT in September and REALLY didn't get the target score I wanted. I'm planning on submitting my applications in December but if I do as bad on this one too then my plans are kind of messy because I would consider taking the January one but applying in January seems like a bad idea from all that I've seen, so November kind of feels like my last shot. Any thoughts? Please?

Hello I was wondering if anyone had good tips on how to get -3 and -4 in lr and rc I really need to improve these two categories what worked best for you guys on improving these two sections?

Which would be better to take Khan or 7sage and what year

I been having a hard time overcoming this plateau I been in for the past 2 months. I finally saw a difference in how I engaged with the material with my lsat PT and saw a small increase. What I been doing has been making sure I have a strategy for every LR question, but I still have a hard timing getting those level 4-5 questions correct. I know the way to get better at logic games is to just do them everyday. If anything has helped anyone overcome a plateau I'm all ears. I been studying for 5 months now and taking the January exam and I'm just becoming frustrated because feels like anything I do isn't helping. Any comments will be very helpful even if it has to do with a strategy for a question type.

I am 28 years old and a full time nurse. I plan to only apply to part time night programs for law school for fall of 2023. My plan right now is to try and have a baby before I start year 1. I am aware it can take a long time to get pregnant but ideally the baby would be anywhere from 8 to 3 months old before classes start. I would be able to take advantage of my maternity leave with my current job and my phenomenal health insurance. While in school I would hire a babysitter 4-5 hours a day so I can exclusively study but the baby wouldn't have to leave the house and go to daycare. I would be home for emergencies just studying in my office. My goals for doing this would be to be able to have a child almost in school by the time I am an associate (Part time programs take 4 years). I would not have to worry about infant care and being a brand new attorney with demanding partners/clients ect and working a grueling day time schedule.

My other options are pushing back my pregnancy after year one and having a baby in the summer hopefully in-between semesters. The downside is not having maternity leave or dual insurances.

Has anyone on this forum had a baby prior to year 1 and had success pairing this with a part time program? Or is this absolutely insane even with a part time night program?

I should also mention I have a super supportive husband who works a very reliable 8-4 job who would be the primary caregiver while I am in class in the evening.

Hi there,

I have noticed that the questions I get wrong on RC are always the inference based ones. Anyone have any advice on how to improve on this particular question type?

Thanks in advance!

LSAC sucks.

I submitted my request for accommodations almost a month ago. LSAC's website says they'll get back to you within 8-10 business days but it may take longer... aka they can take however long they want. We all know best practice is to study and prep as close to how test day will be. But if I don't know if my request will be honored I can't prep. LSAC sucks. They don't gaf about accommodated students. They don't even respond to my emails.

I began my LSAT journey last year and ended up deciding on a gap year after a few months of studying because I wasn't hitting close to my goal. Took a break till around May 2023 and enrolled back in 7sage with the goal of getting a 171+ by November! Thankful for this program as it was the majority of what I used over my time studying. I am enrolled in November (did it as a backup) so I will probably be retaking again just to see what happens now that the pressure is off.

Huge thanks to @RaphaelP for the help cleaning up my RC... his methodology brought me down to -3 on test day which was fortunately enough for my score. Highly recommend him as a tutor!

For those of you that have questions about the LSAT feel free to PM me or leave them here... I am a pretty active member of this discussion board and would love to answer any questions.

Hi everyone! I am from Ontario and am applying to Canadian law schools. I got my score back from the October LSAT and it was a 154 (my first attempt). This is lower than my practice exams as I consistently score in the 160's. My question is, do you think I should cancel my score and try again in January? Also if I do the January exam will Canadian universities still consider me for admission? Thank you so much for you help, I really appreciate any advice:)

Hellooo,

I guess I wanted to send a discussion to see if this would be a good idea for not.

So background info, I have already completed all my applications back in September because I wanted to only focus on my LSAT and not worry about my applications. So all my schools are simply just waiting for my LSAT score to begin looking into my applications. I’m in a position where I’m only working on my mental psyche bc test anxiety is real for me. Based on all my Pts I’m scoring between 153-160 but I really want to score above 160 to be competitive applicant due to my non competitive GPA. I have confidence in all my other applicant materials but I know there’s importance to the numbers (GPA/LSAT). I decided to also sign up for the January LSAT for a backup if i’m not statified with the score I receive. But i’m debating on either just leaving whatever score on my Nov I get and see what schools decide i’m good enough even with my average scores or canceling it/ leaving it and then working on my January test and if schools decide to make a decision prior to my new test score or wait for it.

If i decide to want to wait for my January score, even though I’ve already done applications, how does that work? Will schools hold back and wait? or will they make a decision and then determine if waiting for a January score is worth it?

I’m sure reaching out to my schools i’ve applied to and seeing what’s the best way to move forward is a good option but I have a tendency to think ahead to prevent a mental break down on Nov 29th lol

Any advice helps!

Hi, I've been studying for the LSAT from July this year. My target is 170+ in the Jan 2024 LSAT (ambitious, i know). But my study schedule has not been consistent. It has seen breaks because of a couple of days because of me being sick or vacation or just my mental health. I have been cognizant of the fact that I would have to take a second attempt and the first one is just a trial run to be more familiar with the exam, but what can I do to maximise my score in the Jan (first attempt) exam itself? My RC and LR sections are strong but I'm PTing in the late 40s because of LG.

I took a “diagnostic” PT 57 and scored a 158.

-12 LG, -6 LR, -7 LR, -5 RC

Diagnostic in quotes bc I took the LSAT 8 years ago and scored a 157. After lurking on the discussion board, I’m realizing there’s a lot more prep that I can do. Originally I was planning to take LSAT Aug 2024, but I’m leaning towards prepping for the June 2024 test and retaking without LG if necessary. I’m hopeful that my low LG score means a higher ceiling and I’m worried about gambling on what the second LR might look like on the first administration w/out LG.

My plan is to work through the Foolproof book for the next 4 weeks and then start 7Sage CC in December and hit PTs/BR hard starting in March. I work full time (HS teacher) and don’t have a ton of disposable income to put towards prep/tutors etc.

Thoughts on this plan? Target is 167+

Any advice about this or people In similar positions for next cycle?

So the stimulus presents a paradox where sales (as measured by the value of the clothes sold) has increased one year an then Fabrico closed a store the very next year due to low demand. How can sales be up but demand fall sharply the next year? C presents a situation in which a huge increase in the price of raw materials spikes and the clothing prices spike too. (for instance, a $5 t shirt is now being sold for $15. Maybe Fabrico sold 2 t shirts and now people are only buying 1 but because the success is being measured by the value of the clothing, 1987 was a good year). It then follows that it would be unsustainable for customers to keep buying now-expensive clothes in 1988 and Fabrico would close a factory.

Big news: starting in August 2024, the LSAT will no longer include a Logic Games section. Instead, it will have a second Logical Reasoning section.

Read more about this change and how we're helping test-takers prepare in this blog post.

Check out our new score converter tool, which lets you use old PTs to get a sense for how you'd score on the two-LR version of the test.

Here are instructions on how to access our brand-new LR curriculum, part of V2 of our Core Curriculum.

Im in the final week before the test - i feel like my anxiety is making me forget the basic and make dumb mistakes (my last 2 PTs show an incremental decrease of my score.

Should I read the question first or read the stimuli first?

There was a magical time a few weeks ago when I FINALLY got a 176 BR score and I thought I was finally starting to understand the test. My previous BR scores were capped at 165-168, timed 157-163 ish. I thought I would never break 170 and was so relieved when I finally cracked it with BR.

I'm taking the November test next weekend and I feel like I've been bombing each PT lately and running out of time of my best section (LG). I typically get 1-2 wrong on LG, and occasionally get 100% when I'm just doing a section drill. I'm definitely struggling with timing and panic-guessing when I feel as though I'm burning too much time on any one question.

Has anyone experienced wild fluctuations and have any tips on how to start getting stable scores?

I work full-time in BigLaw so there are days when I work OT (I literally just submitted my timesheet for 97 hours the the last 2 weeks), and so can only squeeze a section and some drills during the week. I would choose a PT for the week, take the sections individually each evening after work, BR/review the whole test on Friday, and then take a timed PT on Sat, review Sun.

I finally have time off this week leading up to the test -- what is the most high-impact thing I can do to improve and stop fluctuating so much?
