Hello! I just signed up for 7Sage and I look forward to diving in! I’m curious about the new Core Curriculum V2 Beta. Is it safe for me to start here if I have no former LSAT experience? Should I wait to take the Practice Tests until after I’m through the CC? I notice V2 takes significantly less time than V1. Should I worry about this?

Thank you in advance!

Hey all! I’m taking the April test this Friday and I was wondering about the writing test if I need to complete it before I take the test on Friday? How long is the writing test opened for? I was hoping to take the writing test next week or the last week of April before the score releases in May.

Hello all, I have been asking my friends who are in law school when to retake the lsat. They suggested I take the August 2023 exam and take the September 2023 exam as a back up. But I am worried that wouldn’t be the smartest choice to make. I work full time and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle but I’m not sure if that is the right decision to make as I have little time in between that month to study. Should I wait an additional month before retaking? Thank you!

Hello!

Could someone please help me figure this AP question out? There's no explanation video for it. The median score of someone who got it right is a 173, and I am aiming for a 170+.

Stimulus: "One can be at home and be in the backyard, that is, not in one's house at all...."

Question Stem: "Which one of the following most accurately describes the relationship between the argument's conclusion and its claim that one can be at home without being in one's house?"

Answer Choices:

A. (not correct)

B. (not correct)

C. (CORRECT)

D. (not correct, this is the one I chose)

E. (not correct)

Does anyone know of any good tutors? Planning to take the test in august, but want a tutor to help fill the gaps I'm not seeing or know how to fix on my own.

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of getting my application together for 2024 and was wondering if anyone had any additional personal statement resources, tips, or advice I could use when beginning to write (other than what's on 7sage)? Anything related to diversity statements would be very helpful too.

Thanks!

So when I was in 8th grade I was suspended for vaping (I know). There was no arrest or anything criminal accompanying this, and it was in middle school. . . would this be appropriate to report with an addenda? When I read some of the questions, they say ANY academic or disciplinary records from ANY school (which to me, means K-College). That language would suggest I need to report this, would it not?

Hello everyone! I'm taking the April LSAT this Friday, and I was wondering if anybody could share some suggestions and tips on what to do the day before/the day of the LSAT to mentally prepare or get ready. Would it be helpful to do some reviewing the day of/day before, or give myself a brain break to avoid burning out? What's a good breakfast to have the day of? Does anyone have any stress-management techniques? I want to hear any and all advice you think is worth sharing, or literally anything that you've noticed helped prepare yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, etc. for the test.

Hi all

I'm diving back into the world of LSAT prep after an extended break since taking the flex in late 2020. For that test I mostly prepared with Khan Academy, though I also took an LSAT course a year prior during college. On that exam I scored a 166. I'm positive I aced LG, thought I was -1 or 2 in LR, and then lost my mind in RC; whatever other incorrect answers got me that score came on that section.

After the test, I joined the workforce with the intention of gaining experience, finding myself etc. before applying to law school. Somewhere along the line I decided I should go back and all-in on prep, as I want to improve upon that score and my chances of admittance at a T-14 Law School. Now I'm on 7sage, about to buy a subscription.

I'm posting here because I'm a bit overwhelmed at the task ahead of me, and am feeling some anxiety about being able to get back to the level I was at in 2020, much less surpass it like I'm hoping. It feels like I'm back at square one, at least until I do the dive and pick up on some old skills. Does anybody have similar experiences or suggestions, either on repreparing or general RC improvement?

Thank you

With the April LSAT only a week away, I wanted to wish everyone who's taking it the best! I'll be taking it for the third time on the 14th and am getting pretty nervous lol For anyone who feels similarly, don't worry, think about all the time you put into your preparation, it will carry you through to the end!

Hi Friends,

I built an app for myself that randomly generates arguments in the different valid and invalid forms we learn in the curriculum. The actual text is business and financial jargon; I tried to mirror the LSAT in terms of content. Anyway, if this would be useful, I can put it in the cloud so others can play with it!

I recorded a demo in the link below.

Hello everyone,

I really want to hear about the study method that has helped you the most. I've taken the LSAT twice before and scored a 160 both times. My goal is to improve by at least six more points. Currently, whenever I take an untimed test, I score in the high 160s and low 170s, but on timed tests the score is often times in the low 160s. On test days, I take the test timed, do a blind review and then watch the explanation videos for questions I was unsure of and questions that I got wrong. It is often times difficult for me to sit through the videos and stay focused. I used this method for the last two times that I have studied for the test, and it obviously has not gotten me to the point where I want to be. I would love to hear about how you study for the test or if you have any suggestions! Thank you for your help!!!

Four years ago, I took a diagnostic, and after seeing my results, I dropped the idea of going to law school. After a year or so, I resumed studying and got a good score.

Today, I've accepted an offer from my dream school - Fordham Law, with $$+. (About Fordham. Among others. The employment outcome is excellent. The campus is breathtaking, in a great location with so many opportunities. The class size of 400+ students gives a vast network).

Thanks 7sage! And thanks to all my study buddies! Especially Graeme @SufficientCondition and @JordanJohnson

Hello everyone,

I plan to apply to law school this fall but at the moment I'm going through a difficult time at work. The job isn't very glamorous, I'm an Operations Assistant at a Real Estate brokerage, but it pays the bills and is giving me networking opportunities as well as a Letter of Recommendation. With that said however, I've decided to quit this job because there's just too many problems and it's time to move on. However, I'm a little concerned when to quit because law schools dissect every part of your resume if you're a nontraditional law school applicant.

I reach the 2yr threshold in July and I'm more than capable of putting up with these problems til then. However, if I don't have to, I'll give them my 2 weeks and quit sooner.

So my question is: do law schools place a bigger emphasis on the number of years (an even 2yrs) that you've worked at a place or does it just not matter after you've crossed 1yr or 1.5yrs?

Maybe I'm overthinking this but I'm concerned that working less than 2yrs at this job will seem suspect and will weaken my application.

Please participate in the poll and/or let me know your thoughts.

Thank you
