Hi guys

I am extremely stressed out also I have been also a brain fog due to to studying.

I have been extremely stressed because I always get most of the LR questions 16-26 wrong and only few of them right. I don’t know why this is a pattern and I am aware that they can be harder questions. I feel that even after going over the course it did help me a lot no doubt ! I need to know is this normal ?

Do I keep practicing till I get them ?

Anyone been through this ?

Thanks

Just finished 63 and am looking for a BR partner. Anyone just recently finished this test or looking to go over some questions? If you havent taken this test yet Im willing to wait a few days and then BR.

if you literally guessed on every question, and there are 5 answer choices, according to calculator ,your score would be around a 124, not a 120 correct????

So you could pretty much guarantee that the bottom is 124 not 120??

Im not planning on guessing obviously but im just wondering.

Around how many PTS until you found you hit your peak?

For those who have taken all or nearly all, would you be willing to share your score?

If the LSAT is just not taking up enough your time and you want more LSAT talk, I find this entertaining - https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/podcast/

So I've been studying for lsat for some time now and i always had this question i couldn't sort out in my head.

For certain describe the flaw questions on LR, we see a lot of conditional reversal flaws.

For example, "A --> B. Therefore, B -->A."

When choosing the right answer for this kind of flaw, we usually get obvious answer choices.

But we sometimes get "fails to consider" kind of answers like "fails to consider that there could be other conditions necessary for A other than B".

My question is, for the kind of flaw that i mentioned above (A-->B so B-->A), could we also say that "author takes for granted that only B is required for A"?

Thanks.

Hi I've never taken the digital LSAT and I have heard the light from the screen bothers some people. Is this true? Can you adjust the light settings on the tablet? What are some ways to beat this difficulty? I've heard of special glasses that filter out the bothersome light from computer screens. Thanks!!!!!!

Hi everyone,

I am in a dilemma as I don't think I'll be able to get any academic letters of reference. I graduated with a 3-year Bachelor in 2014, went to paralegal school from 2014-2015, then went back part-time to finish my 4th year for the Honours program. I graduated with an Hons. B.Sc. in 2016. I got a job right after graduating and I've been working full-time every since. I'm looking to apply to Canadian law schools and most of them ask for academic LOR. I haven't kept in touch with any of my professors and I don't think they would remember me. I could probably get professional LOR from supervisors (manager and lawyer).

Is an academic LOR really important? Can anyone comment on my chances of getting into law school without any academic LOR?

Since completion of the CC, my LR scores have been ridiculously inconsistent. Here are the stats:

PT 40 S1 -9 S3 -4

PT 41 S1 -4 S3 -3

PT 42 S2 -4 S4 -6

PT 43 S2 -8 S3 -2

PT 58 S1 -2 S4 -7

I'm especially concerned about the last two. I tried taking a couple days off in between those two (to combat burnout) and yet the inconsistency is unchanged. I rarely miss more than 3 in BR, so I know I have the potential.

I'm pretty good at navigating the test (knowing what questions are difficult and should be skipped, for example), so I don't think that is the issue. I really don't know what the issue is but I feel like I've hit a wall here.

I have been consistently testing around 167 for my raw score, but I feel like if I could get my LR scores more consistent I'd have a good shot at 170. Plz help!

Just saw this article pop up. This is interesting... What will the LSAT look like in the future, I wonder?

Hey!

So I have kind of hit a plateau with LG. I am averaging around a -8 timed, but in BR I am consistently -0 to -2. I know I can do pretty much any game!

I'm finding a couple of issues:

I truly feel if I could correct these issues (along with cleaning up dumb errors) I can go sub -5 which is my goal! I feel like this comes down to strategy more than anything. Anyone have any tips that may help me here?

Thanks!!

Would anyone advise on writing an addendum for quitting a job and then not working for 6 months?

For context, I took time off after college to work but due to some unexpected health complications I quit my job. It wasn't cancer or anything like that but everything combined became pretty tough to handle.

I have a 6 month gap on my resume from the time I left my previous job to the job I currently have now. Don't want to draw attention to it if I don't need to and I also don't want to sound like I'm making excuses or come off like I can't handle pressure.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello!

Is there a good format you can suggest to use to let AdComs know names have been changed in my PS? I am a teacher and I reference a student and a colleague but I of course use pseudonyms. Should I put something at the top of the page or bottom? Add an asterisk next to the names?

Thanks!

Hey y'all

I'm having a dilemma about reporting my race in my applications. For context, my father is black and my mother is white. I was originally planning only reporting as black alone, because that is what I've always done, and I identify as a black person. However, my diversity statement mentions my struggles with being a black person raised by a white mother.

It is true that I am equal parts black and white, but socially I'm usually considered just black.

I'm wondering now if I should report both black and white? I don't want to be misleading, but I also don't identify as white and wouldn't want reporting my whiteness to take away from my application chances if I don't have to.

Does anyone have thoughts or experience on this? Thanks!

Hi 7sage,

I've had two digital PT results (both recently taken, and both of which still have the results under the individual test page in the curiculum, and are listed under the score lsat tab; the missing tests are 47 and 50) disappear from my LSAT Analytics trends and question table page; both we're viewable as recently as 12ish hours ago.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all, I initially started studying around June and was originally testing at 144. I started the Princeton Review program and got up to 154 but had to ultimately push my September test date to November. Any chance of getting to 160 area by November? any recommendations on which program would be best? I heard alot of great things from 7sage.

I took LSAT in 2008ish...there doesn't seem to be a record of it. I created a new account etc. There doesn't seem to be any trace of it that I can find. However im sure it is linked to my SS number somewhere in the ether. Do I need to worry about this at all??

Thanks.

This weekend I sent about 15 emails to alumni of various schools I'm applying to. I'm hoping to gain some advice from them and maybe a pearl or two that I can use in my Why X essays.

I've gotten six responses already, which is more that I expected to receive! Everyone so far has been very warm and willing to get on the phone with me for 20 minutes, so I have a bunch of interviews coming up in the next few days!

Because my outreach has been pretty successful (so far) and because I was really nervous about doing it, I wanted to post my process here, in case a step-by-step guide might help assuage anyone else's nerves.

Here's what I did:

1) On LinkedIn, searched for the law school itself

2) Visited their alumni list

3) Narrowed the list by geography: I chose to see only those who work in the city I plan to work in after graduation (side note: three of my schools had 0 alumni listed as living in my city of choice, so that's food for thought)

4) Narrowed it further by selecting only the alumni who listed law firms as their employer (rather than government, etc).

5) Made a list of the recent graduates

6) Googled them to learn about their firm and what kinds of projects they work on

Bonus: I had originally intended to message folks on LinkedIn, but I realized as I began to google the alumni that most of their firms listed each attorney's email address publicly. So I emailed them instead!

Hope this is helpful!

how good exactly does presidential campaign work look to law school admissions? Is it worth postponing law school? Does it look good enough to offset a bad LSAT score?

Hi! So I finally took the LSAT writing portion and all went well, except now under status it says "exam initiated." This strikes me as really odd...shouldn't it say "exam submitted" or "exam completed" while I await review from LSAC. I'm very concerned that it was in fact not submitted. Anyone else run into this?

Ive been studying since June, on and off. I would say Ive studied for about three of those months.

Went from 156 post CC diagnostic. Recently scored 164 on PT 57. BRing about 170-172. Is a goal score of 168-170 unrealistic? Im thinking March LSAT but not too set, I just want to be able to apply in the Fall 2020 cycle.

My study schedule is usually Monday PT Tuesday BR 2 sections plus maybe do an old LR or RC section and FP some games

Wednesday same as Tuesday. Thursday get my score watch the video explanations for all the questions I missed or the hard ones.

Friday+Saturday work on weaknesses from older PTs.

Sunday Rest or do a section. I also try to do games everyday somehow, even if it is just one or two.

What do you all think? Is March realistic?

Hey all, new to 7sage and I just took a timed diagnostic exam and scored 144, my goal is 160. I'm applying this round for 2020 admissions and January for most of the schools I'm applying to take January as the last acceptable exam. Do you think I have a shot?

I have a pretty good understanding of the LR material but still struggle with the questions and I do struggle quite a bit with RC. My strongest section is LG (I scored 18/23 on the diagnostic exam).

i took lsat in 2008 and had a complete anxiety attack whilst the person next to me was incessantly tapping their pencil. I had to walk out...and well i think you know what the rest of that story is. Please tell me ear plugs are allowed. or am i going to have crumble scratch paper and ball it up in my ears???
