I haven’t been sick for a year, now I’m rewriting the LSAT on Tuesday and I think I’m getting sick, painful sneezing and it kind of hurts to swallow. Everyone please send me your tips asap! Small note I am vegan with the exception of honey, in case anyone is going to leave food tips. I’m already very hygienic so this is bothersome.

Everywhere I have been seeing says to get your application in as soon as possible as the longer you wait, the more it minimizes acceptance/scholarship funds. I took the LSAT in September and got a 150 (had some personal life things going on) and am registered to take the test again in November. While I understand ambitious, I want to get within the 165`s. If I take the November test and not satisfied, am I hurting myself by taking the LSAT again in January?

Keep in mind, I am a nontraditional student who works a demanding job, that requires variable hours and travel schedule.

November LSAT advice

Hi guys, I've been stuck in the 150s for the past month and I plan to take the LSAT again in November (I took the one in October; I'm not sure how it went). Any advice on how I should practice/study this upcoming month to reach at least a 160? My blind reviews also land me in the 160s and the feedback I get on 7Sage is that my underlying skills are in the 160+ level already. Just want to be able to actually get into the 160s on PTs and timed sections.

Does anyone recommend a specific time to get there? The meet-and-greet portion is 10:30-12:00 and 1:30-4:00. I saw a Reddit post from 7 years ago saying that the crowds in the morning are INSANE, and it might be a little more strategic to go in the afternoon. Can anyone who has been to one before speak to this?

Hi! So I took the October LSAT and am signed up for November. My average score at the moment is around a 167 (175 average BR) and I’m looking to push that into the 170s range by my November test date. I’m looking for someone who is going to charge at or less than $100/ hour (after a consultation) and has experience tutoring the LSAT. I’ve self studied until this point and after being in the 160s slump, I’m really looking for someone who can clearly point out what my weaknesses are and how to target them specifically (one of which is very often second guessing)- how to clearly differentiate which answer is correct when down to those last 2 options. If this might be something you could work with, please let me know! Thank you!

for those of us that are data/health geeks, it would be really cool to see a feature where you can put in factors like what time of day you took a PT, how many hours of sleep you got the night before, whether or not you exercised, if you ate, etc., so you can see how these factors affect your performance on your PTs!

hi! i was wondering if there was a way to have multiple ways to drill? currently, when you do an adaptive drill, it operates as a session, so when you're done you can review how you did in this set. while this is great, it would also be nice if there was a way to continuously drill without having to submit the section, if that makes sense? like if i wanted to just drill for fun on my phone, it feels like it would be easier to just have it as an infinite session rather than it being a drill set. ty!

October LSAT Finished

I gave my first LSAT on October 10th, and I didn't think it went that great. I was really bummed out after doing it, cuz I know it did not go as well as I wanted it to go.

But then I remembered that I overcame one of my biggest flaws. I tend to always quit things when they get difficult, and have a problem of fully committing to something. Studying for the LSAT was difficult, mentally draining, fatiguing, required a lot of committment, and at times it seemed like it wasn't meant for me. I still pulled through, I gave that test, and I am very proud of myself for that.

I know there might be a lot of you that might not be happy about how your test went, but it's okay, it's not the end of the world. You did the hardest part, which was studying and taking that LSAT. We're all gonna become lawyers, so keep believing in yourself, and keep going till you make it to the finish line.

Hi guys!

I need help formatting my diversity essay.

Many have a short, one-page, double-spaced requirement, so there isn't much room to tell my story, and that is where my issue comes in.

Should I focus more on my story, or mention more about the school? If so, how am I supposed to do that? I find myself explaining my diverse background, why it made me who I am, and why I specifically look for diverse communities/spaces/environments, and that I would look for and contribute to the school by making a community (I would do this by tying it back to my story, trying not to give details on here).

Should I be focusing more on their diversity statements? They all feel the same to me... I think explaining my story gives them real information about who I am and what I bring to the school, rather than restating what they already know.

I am writing my diversity statement for all my law school apps if this helps!

Hello guys

I have a question, when you guys do a section do you review it the same day or go back to it the next day?

Check out the first episode of Logic & Order, and let us know what you think!

Leaderboards! Scroll below the game (on the web) to see the top 10 for Today, This Week, and All-Time.

Some games -- such as Logic Links, Argument ER, Train of Thought, and Principles of Attraction -- don't have a leaderboard. If there's enough demand we can rework a few elements to get leaderboards for everything.

(This feature coming soon to iOS/Android.)

(Download the standalone LSAT Games app for iPhone or Android to keep playing when you're offline.)

Ive been studying for a long time but have struggled to improve beyond high 150's/low 160's. Its difficult to assess how well I am doing when I take a full practice test or even a section with only 25-30% freshness. I dont remember that many of the questions but I still feel like its somehow easier.

Hi folks, as I go through the NU application, I'm struggling with the questions below:

1. What are your career interest(s) immediately after law school? (maximum characters 500)

2. What are your long-term career goals? (maximum characters 500)

What are they looking for here? Especially if I don't have any specifics? I know I want to go to a big law firm somewhere in Chicago or California, and maybe want to pursue some AI/SEC practice group, but I'm pretty flexible and don't really know. Somehow this feels like a trick idk maybe I'm paranoid LOL.

LMK thoughts!

Beginning my Personal Statement

Good evening everybody!

I hope everyone is having a good start to the week. I need some feedback or guidance on how to go about my personal statement. My overall basis is going to be discussing on how I am interested in corporate law, contracts, estate planning and family law. The business side is because my degree was in accounting and I want to learn the basis behind corporations making deals but also protecting themselves. I am interested in family law because I feel a sense of protectiveness over family’s especially children. They are some of the most vulnerable members of our society and I wanna be a protector for them and ensure they get the care and support they need.

My issue comes from how I am supposed to start the statement. “Hi my name is Natalie and I’m interested in law school” or “business and family law are key interests for me”. I’ve only begun starting and I already feel like I’ve hit a wall. I understand I don’t have to write a sob story, not that I have one anyways to write, but I just wanna say “I’ve wanted to learn more about how our system works and how it’s apart of everyday life. I also wanna help people and ensure they don’t get taken advantage of” .

I also don’t have the ability to afford a tutor or someone to review my statement and give me feedback, so if anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and any feedback would be welcomed. Thank you for reading! -Nat

  1. Sometimes I drill with other people/make a drill for a 7sage class. I'd love for there to be a sharelink or a link I can share in the top right settings/options once I've already started the drill. I know I can send a sharelink as I'm making the drill/selecting the questions, but I don't think there's a way to create a sharelink once the drill is underway. If this feature already exists, please let me know if I'm misusing the app!

  2. Also, it would be amazing if the "Join" button for the 7sage life classes opened in a new tab instead of the Zoom link navigating you away from 7sage. For the aforementioned use-case, I frequently like to create a drill link for the class if it wasn't already provided. Under the current functionality, I join the class, then I need to re-navigate back to 7sage to create a drill. This could save a few clicks/typing!

Possible Advice

hey all,

If your like me and in the weeds of applying, just took the LSAT, or just stressed about this process, I would like to just share a bit of advice, as someone who has a lot of experience with anxiety and catastrophizing.

  1. What's done is done. It's very easy to look back on this time and see the "missed opportunities" or the nights when you could have spent an extra hour studying or the info session you should have attended. that's all in the past and you can't let that impact you now. Even if you feel like you could have done more, you can't let that stop you from controling what you can now.

  2. This process is not all black and white. Even if you did not get the LSAT score you want, or your applying later than wanted, all this will "possibly do" is hurt your application a bit. This doesn't mean that you won't get into the school you want or, hopefully your mind isn't there, that you won't go to law school. It's not a light switch, it's a dimmer.

  3. Appreciate your progress. Myself, I know that I could have done better on the LSAT. But I also know I used to guess on half the questions in RC, that it would take me an hour to finish a LR section untimed. Now, if I guess on one question, I see that as a defeat. This is one of the most unintuitive, complicated, and demanding entrance exams out there and it takes a certain type of person to make any progress and stick with it.

  4. Take everything one step at a time, if you focus on getting to the peak then your doomed to fail, just focus on taking one step then the next one.

Had a bit of wave come over this morning and I find this line of thinking always helps me and it makes me feel good if I can try practicing what I preach so this is advice for me too!

Best of luck all!

I took this section last night, got a 20/25. I think I got the same score taking this section in February, but with some different wrong answers. While I am getting more 5-star questions right here, I have two questions:

  1. How can I prepare myself for fresh material without getting stumped? I didn't memorize these questions, but it did speed the process along when I was making predictions.

  2. While I am getting past the first 15-17 questions, I still got a few wrong answers in the front half of the section. How can I better pace myself so I can get as few 1-2 star questions wrong as possible?

DVM LSAT STUDY GROUP

Hi! I’m planning to take the LSAT in 2027 and aiming for a 165–168. I’m looking for a free, in-person study group beginning in November, ideally meeting weekly on weekday evenings or weekends.

I’m based near Rockville, Maryland, and can meet in Germantown, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Bethesda, or Silver Spring. I’d love to study with people who are serious about improving their Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension skills and holding one another accountable.

Would you be interested in meeting locally, or do you know anyone in the area who is forming a group for 2027?

Hi! I am looking for guidance on whether it is appropriate to include a customer letter of recommendation in my law school applications.

For context, I am a manager and run a before- and after-school program that becomes a summer camp in the summer. I have been in childcare for about 10 years and have been with my company for the last 5 years. I grew within the company, starting as a counselor, then assistant manager, and now I run the program and handle hiring for my entire area (over 10 schools), including interviews, background checks, DCF clearance, etc.

I have built a professional relationship with the family that has been in the program since shortly after I started. The dad even tried to recruit me to work for the school district where he is employed. He offered to write me a law school letter of recommendation after hearing that this is my last year at my job. Can I even accept that?

Please let me know your thoughts because I am not sure if I am even allowed!
