Will I be able to use the built-in Huge (175%) font-size setting shown in LawHub during my actual October LSAT without requesting a separate accommodation?

3

I graduated fairly recently (spring of 2024) and have been working since right after graduation. Most of my application is looking good but I'm having trouble with LORs from professors. I know my current boss will write an exceptional LOR, but I'm less confident about my academic LORs. I was a good student, but I never really went to office hours or did anything to build relationships with professors as others did. That being said, I would bet that many professors wouldn't even remember me.

I've seen a lot of people online saying just send a request to professors whose class you did well in, but I'm curious if that's good advice or not. It seems weird to base my acceptance into a law school based off of the recommendation of someone who wouldn't remember me if I hadn't reached out, but I've been told academic LORs are expected for someone who graduated as recently as I did.

Any thoughts or similar experiences?

I seem to have fallen off the wagon and have not studied in about 4 weeks. I finished the 7Sage course and was just drilling lightly before I stopped.

Any suggestions on how to get back into the rhythm? If I’ve finished the course do you suggest just picking up drilling and practice tests or just start over again? I scheduled my exam for September but will be pushing it back.

Thanks for the time and guidance.

Does anyone know if going Early Decision provides a tangible boost at any schools in the T14? Especially for reverse splitters and/or those lacking any elite/law-related softs. Is this a viable strategy if you really have your heart set on a couple particular schools?

Being Candid

I feel each topic I am writing about for my PS, Addendum, and DS are all pretty heavy topics and sometimes I am like "these people are going to read this and think my life is a depressing movie", but at the same time I truly feel discussing these topics is essential to explaining why I so deeply crave to become an attorney and help those facing abuse and persecution. And on top of that, I personally don't see what has happened to me as a weakness, and it all has just strengthened me and made me grow into who I am. Do admissions officers frown on this?

for clarification it's structured like "this happened, I learned this, here is how I grew" I don't feel I am playing victim in these documents

I previously took the LSAT and did the argumentative/writing section, 2-3 years back. I ended up purchasing the score preview for that and did not keep my score. Now I'm studying again to write the exam in September, should I do the writing section again? Am I even allowed to?

Not sure if that's even an option for me. Do law schools (Canadians) look at it a lot, or at all?

LSAT Argumentative writing !!!!

Hi friends! :) I just had a quick question that I was hoping could be answered preferably within 24 hours; for the argumentative writing, am I able to use one of the perspectives as an objection or should I come up with my own?

Hi everyone, I’m Quinn. I am offering tutoring for students at all levels at a price that I hope will be accommodating for you. If you feel like you struggle to focus on the LSAT, that timing is a barrier for you, or that you are just overwhelmed/stuck, I’ve been there too. My diagnostic was a 148, so I know all too well what it feels like to break one plateau just to fall into another. A lot of these struggles do not come down to your own understanding, but rather to mindset and the lack of a strong approach. 

Why choose me? 

When we feel stuck, our instinct is to do more work, learn more strategies, or take another practice test. While these things are great on their own, the larger focus should be to slow down. This test can feel fun and easy. 

If the idea of mastering 1,000 different strategies or concepts stresses you out, our sessions will do the opposite. We will NOT cram concepts or stop after pointing to the right answer. Instead, we will break down the way you thought about each question, determine the gaps in your approach, and adapt your approach to work better in the future. 

My approach

The LSAT is an important event. Like a marathon, it is a test of skill and endurance. You don’t train for a marathon by running marathons (you don’t study for the LSAT by taking practice tests). Our practice will be low-stress and focus on constructing a confident, intuitive mindset. Depending on your learning style, I will hand-tailor weekly lessons, resources, assignments, and individualized performance tracking to help ensure your improvement—this can be private if you want things to be more chill :)

We will work with my Marathon approach:

  • Work with how YOU think

  • Break down LSAT concepts in ways that make sense to you

  • Focus on performance rather than speed

  • Build fundamental skills question by question 

  • Recognize and predict patterns

  • Address test stress and build confidence

You have the skills to succeed. It’s just a matter of where we spend our energy.

Hi! I recently took the LSAT for the first time in August, and I'm expecting that I'll need to retake it. I'm not applying this cycle, so I can afford to wait; I also do not want to take another LSAT during the school year. Because of this, I'm basically stuck taking the LSAT in June 2027. If I cancel my basic 7Sage subscription, will my analytics be saved if I decide to resubscribe in the spring of 2027 to begin studying again?

Hi 7Sage Fam,

Just want to ask how yall have been splitting your prep time between LR and RC. I haven’t done much RC but I think I’m starting from a pretty good base (-6 avg per section). Between work and masters classes, I can manage about two hours of quality study time on the weekdays and 3-4 on Saturday and Sunday. I’m targeting a November exam, but I’m struggling to find out what balance I should be striking. TIL now I’ve been spending 90% of my time on LR. I’m not even sure how to really drill or prep for RC best.

Any and all advice is welcome. Love yall!

I am studying abroad in Sydney, Australia, but hoping to take the April 2027 LSAT. Has anyone taken the test abroad? Or is it even possible to do so in Sydney? I can't find anything on LSAC about it.

Hey everyone! looking to get a NM group together I'm registered to take the LSAT in OCT. I'm local to the ABQ area but was thinking if people are spread out we could host video calls once per week and do local meetups whenever!

Feel free to comment/DM me or join the group :)

hey everyone -

according to what i know when you submit can affect your chances of being admitted to a certain school

so earlier submissions could lead to higher chances of being accepted in general

but i was wondering whether the timing of your application could affect your scholarship amount as well-

especially i was wondering if i should apply to a certain school asap if i have the median lsat for that school, or shld wait for a better lsat score if my goal is not only A but A + max scholarship

Please I am so sick of this interface changing thing, everytime I open a test, it looks different, what is going on with LSAC are they actually going to finalize it??? Ever since the interface changed, I feel like it's so hard to use the highlight function + hiding the incorrect answers choice, I just hope they can stop changing it...

Hiii,

I am in progress of writing my personal statement and would love for people to volunteer to review for free or low cost. As well as edit, help with grammar and overall make it ready for applications. I know hiring a professional is a possibility but unfortunately the budget isn’t there. Please comment below if you are up for this :)

Thank youuuu

Hello, I am registered for September and am in search of a permanent tutor who would be available to meet more than once a week and provide intensive instruction between now and then. I am in need of a 175+, preferably without having to retake. I am already a few months of intensive study into this process and have either drilled or tested just about every question there is and have worked with other tutors in the past.

For background information, my diagnostic starting level was around ~160 and since then I have not seen the level of improvement I would like. My most recent practice tests were a 169 with a 174 BR and a 173 with a 180 BR (PT 156 and 159). I have been regressing since the 173, and am frequently getting around -4 to -6 on timed practice sections. I have a list of specific recurring problem areas that I would like to work on rather than starting from scratch. I don’t work that well with generalized lessons showing formulaic solutions to conditional reasoning, etc. , I would rather spend most of our sessions drilling actual missed questions in my identified problem areas and getting tips for strategies to approach these questions while working with them hands on.

If this sounds like it aligns with your teaching style or is something you could accommodate, please contact me 🙏. I am very willing to negotiate budget with anyone who feels confident they can get me to 174/175 by September. Tutor who has taken the test recently and scored 175+ preferred.

Hello everyone! Leading up to admissions I always thought that campus involvement, working, and volunteering was essential to law school applications. As I get further in, I hear more and more that softs aren't really that important.

So how much do law schools actually care about softs? Do they care about E-Board positions, campus work, working during school, community service, or law experience really? Is this one of those things that most applicants have so it doesn't really matter that much? What constitutes as strong softs, if any?

I've seen it mentioned that the target times for individual Q's are "calculated from top scorers," but what is the cut-off here? I realize that I heavily weight my speed performance off of these target times but they vary wildly especially when compared to that state showing how likely percintiles for given Q get them right, for example "75% [175]."

Is the target time based of of the average time like 175+ scorers get the question right in? Sometimes I get a question done much faster on hard ones, but then the percintiles data will be "75%[164]" which seems to imply that this "hard" Q is actually an easier "hard" Q. So if that's the case, is the target time on this Q using the average of the 164 scoreres for its time calculations? If not, and its still using the generic "high-scorers" (which I presume to be around 175+?), then why is would the target time be so high on a given question with such a low 75% percintule score?

🤪 Silly!

Custom subtitles

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to make the subtitles on the videos customizable. Right now there is only one option and they take up half of the screen lol. Just wondering :)

How is the PS to be written and read? Is it a hook and description form of paper or is it a "Hi, name is so and so...". Are we wanting to intentionally grab the readers interest using literary devices or be as straightforward as possible (like a resume)?
