Hi everyone!

I wanted to get all my applications sumbitted before January, but I'm waiting for my Fall transcripts to be updated. If I submit them now and then send emails to the law schools saying my updated transcripts are being processed, will they recieve them or take them into account?

I've been trying to get in contact with LSAC and the schools, but they're all closed for the holidays ):

Thanks in advance!!!

I received a cold diagnostic score a week ago scoring a 144. Then I have done roughly 20 hours of this online course for a week and took a practice test and scored a 152, I did not count any questions I guessed on for this score, however I did not take logic games since I have not studied it so I held it constant at 9 correct answers since that is what I got on my prior practice test. Any advice to get my practice score up to 160-162? I am preparing for the February 2020 LSAT and my goal is a 160-165. Is this obtainable even though I can only study for 20 hours a week due to work and school?

Quick Question: My 7sage access expires in about a week. Right now I am registered for the most basic plan and have been thinking of upgrading to LSAT premium. If I upgrade, does that mean I get to use it for just an extra month or more?

Hi. I am not entirely sure but i probably will (Whether I will take Feb 22nd LSAT), but this decision will be greatly affected when 7 Sage will publish it's complete version of it's famous video lectures and explanations regarding PT 89. So when do you guys (admin of 7 sage) think that JY or 7 Sage will begin to offer 7 Sage explanations for PT 89 (Nov.2019) LSAT and do you think 7 Sage will finish every sections of explanations regarding PT 89 at least 1 week prior to Feb.22nd, preferably at least 2 weeks prior to Feb 22nd LSAT?

Hey Guys,

I am a first time test taker and I honestly don't know where to start. I don't know what study materials to use and I truly need help building a study schedule. Can someone possibly give me tips that can help me out?

Thanks so much

    Hi all, wondering if any of you think there's a whispering hope for a 3.0 GPA in a science degree with honours and a current 156 lsat. I will be writing again in January and April in hopes of raising my score, highest PT 161. Applying anywhere in Canada but my hopes would be Windsor, Ottawa or TRU. I was hoping for a score about 160, and ideally I was thinking a 165 might give me a fighting chance, but alas as we stand now that's not the case. Wondering if anyone was accepted with a lower GPA and what LSAT they had.

    I am a mature student with currently 6 years in the work force, continually advancing position, and 3 years in a unique legal role with court experience. I will have strong LORs.

    I know its a bit theoretical now since I'm writing again, but really just looking for anyone in a similar boat and what hey needed LSAT wise to get in somewhere.

    Hoping for some improvement, and thank ya'll for feedback!

    Hey everyone! I am wondering if anyone knows of/has made a practice set of difficult and unusual logic games? I took the November test and I bombed the final logic game (diplomats sent to France, India, or Ghana). While I was happy with my score, I know that acing the logic game section will put me in the 170s. I am not applying till fall of 2020 so I've got a lot of time to practice :) What are other notoriously hard games? Thank you (3(/p)

    Hey, y'all. So as someone who's been studying for this test with varying levels of intensity since the earlier part of the year, I'm finding myself in the situation I took serious pains to avoid.

    I scored a 162 on the November test, far off of my target. I missed 11 LR, 6 LG, and 5 RC (was shocked the curve was -10). I barely slept the night before (nerves) and had to go to the bathroom badly during the RC section (had two misses at the very end, which I'm sure are tied to this), but still feel I should have done better. My target is 170 (my PT average is 168 with several scores in the low 170s) and I am shooting for top 14 schools only. I'm in a position where I have to either chance sitting for January and somehow hope to make sufficient gains in knowledge/understanding (and try to plan my logistics a bit better) or sit this cycle out and give myself a lot more time so that I can become even more comfortable with the test (which may in turn also help with nerves).

    I am currently leaning toward applying with my current score and informing schools of my intention to retake in Jan. I will BR Nov 2019 soon, start doing 5 section PTs, (which I will admit I foolishly avoided due to a busy work schedule), and continue drilling and foolproofing games, but I wanted to reach out to the community to get a sense of the best way to shore things up given my short time. If there are any tutors especially, I would be glad to discuss working out a potential schedule between now and the 13th.

    In terms of books, I had been through part of Loophole but will now go back over the parts I did already and complete the book. I was also told that the LSAT trainer's RC sections are great for that section of the test (which is a stronger area for me, though sometimes hit-or-miss). Are there any other books/guides any of you might suggest?

    I have to this point avoided courses. I know most require more than three weeks, but I know some are expedited. Are there any courses any of you might recommend for someone in my position?

    Lastly, while I want to say I was dejected by my score, I do not have a defeatist attitude about being able to do this. In a sense, 162 is not necessarily that far off (esp. considering sleep, construction noise, and other variables). So while I am grateful for any feedback, I would appreciate that it please be constructive but positive. Thanks!

    Hey all;

    Yes, you've read it correctly. After six months of studying, using the LSAT Trainer, PowerScore Bibles, and 7Sage, unfortunately, some of the items I just haven't been able to grasp. Februrary is my last chance to take the LSAT. I did fairly well on the LG Section (17/23) but my LG and RC were awful (-11/-17) respectively.

    I figured, since this is my last shot, I'd try something different. On the day of my test, I did not get much sleep that night due to a nasty cold and cough. That contributed to a lack of sleep, which increased my nerves, not to forgo the long drive to the testing center, I figured that had something to do with my poor performance. No excuses though, I've previously prepped at a 157, high of a 162.

    7Sagers' I work full time as a Paralegal, and have 8 short weeks to improve to (hopefully) the 160's. Does anyone have any advice on how I could take this. A friend of mine recommended I drill questions, so I upgraded my 7Sage to Ultimate, and plan on drilling questions. Reading Comprehension, in the digital format, do you have any suggestions on how to improve that score, I have a lot of improvement that is needed in that area. Normally I would get -5 or -6 in LR, and I've had untimed test that I've done really well at, minus the RC.

    I will take any advice or motivation at this point. My girlfriend doesn't seem to understand the magnitude of how unfortunate this is and the predicment this is having on my mental health. I am a Finance Major, but the LSAT is killing me. Would you recommend taking a practice test (Preptest 80-88) in the weeks leading up to the LSAT and drilling questions by question type in my mean time?

    For those of you who have taken the LSAT before, how noisy are the rooms that you take it in? Is there a lot of people making noises or is it pretty quiet? I just can't concentrate when there's a lot of noises happening at once so I wanna know if I should factor that in to my prep test.

    Thank you in advance!

    Can someone tell me how I should read the varying percentages on the 7Sage law school admissions predictor?

    The way I have been construing the numbers is as follows:

    -- Under 40% = Reach

  • 40% - 70% = Target
  • Over 70% = Safety
  • Separately, there is a school on my list where I have a 38% chance of admission. In that case, would this particular school be a target or reach? Thank you!

    Having a huge issue and I don't know how to fix. My rc and lr drop about 5 on each using tablet and I have no idea why. Everytime. Lrs on paper I get 18-19; rc 17-20 tablet tests I get 14 max help

    Just started 7sage, but i realized that i'm having difficulty with the main conclusion practice questions. I can understand the passage and question stem by easily separating the context from the argument to find the conclusion. However, when i go to the answer's i always end up getting confused. Is there a way around this? or is it the more i practice the better i get? Also, for blind review, how does one do it? As when i do blind reviews after the time version i always end up assuming, my original answer is the right answer.

    Hi,

    I posted a couple weeks ago about thanking 7sage and I'd like to do it one more time now that I am officially done with my cycle.

    I've been accepted to Penn Law, and I'm thrilled to be heading off to law school (finally!)

    Can anyone give me advice on what to do prepare for law school? What books should I be reading or how can I start preparing for law school exams or what to study in terms of learning the black letter law. I know that there is a wealth of knowledge and advice for 0L prep so I'd really appreciate it if anyone could weigh in on this.

    Thanks again so much!

    Update:

    My speculation was right after finishing preptest in Preptests 70s.

    To people who score very similarly as I did, you likely are and would continue be dominating LR sections. All these complaints about new tricks, wordings, trends and shifts on new tests by other people who are relatively weaker on LR sections, don't apply to you.

    There may be a few tricks you can pick up along the way to speed up and decrease very marginally your error rate per LR section. But these are marginal in their very nature: I estimate they would probably only give you an improvement of a couple of points. Your time likely would have much higher value elsewhere.

    So I would suggest skipping easy LR sections if you feel you are dominating LR sections.

    After finishing around 40 preptests, roughly from preptest 1 to preptest 43, I found I almost always dominate logical reasoning sections:

    Averagely I finish a section in about 33 minutes with an error rate of minus 3 to 0 per section[average is below 2]. [I almost never use my extra 2 minutes left to go back and re-work on the questions I felt uncertain about, just to to put more pressure on myself]

    I am thinking about skipping logical reasoning sections in Preptests due to time limitation and just do a couple of later tests' LR sections, such as LR sections of preptest 75. [I have less than a month before the test date.]

    However, I worry my domination may be fake: maybe early preptests are too easy in comparison to later tests such as preptest 88; maybe to maintain the "feel", a certain amount of workload must be kept; maybe a domination is defined with even higher standard; etc.

    If you have some experience and insight, can you please help me with my worry?

    Hi guys,

    I am writing the exam in January. I am still struggling with Necessary Assumption questions. I have gone through the core curriculum twice. I have read a power score book on it. I have tried the negation technique. I always get these questions wrong. If I can somehow get these questions right, it will make a difference in my mark. I would really appreciate some advice.

    Thanks

    So I'm re-taking my test in march of 202 but I don't know what to study anymore since the October LSAT didn't disclose what sections we did poorly on. I studied religiously up till the night of the LSAT and was consistently scoring between 162- 171. If anyone wants to form a study group or know how to study for this problem.

    I have been studying 3-4 hours a day from Monday-Saturday starting July. Around 1-2 for LR in the morning and 1-2 for LG in the afternoon. RC is my strongest section so i have only been focusing on LR and LG. I was just wondering if this is adequate enough to be studying for up to the April Test. I sometimes feel mentally fatigued and get many questions wrong while studying, so i was just wondering if should incorporate another extra rest day on Sunday and just study Monday to Friday. Im currently one year out of undergrad and I am a musician. So am pretty much a full time LSAT student and a musician on Saturdays and Sundays. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thank you In advance.

    Hi, everyone! I'm wrapping up my apps, but was stuck for awhile on the Yale 250. I was able to put something down on paper about my years living in a housing cooperative. Would anyone be interested in swapping essays?
