Hey guys,

Does anyone know if there's any issues if I'm taking the September LSAT but haven't done the writing sample for July?

Hey guys - I just took PT86 and scored 1 point higher than my PT average so am really happy!! Typically after completing the digital test I'd see the option to blind review each section before scoring, but this time it only said "show questions" and immediately showed me which ones I got wrong. I was kind of upset because it's not a true blind review that way.

Anyone know if I clicked on something wrong or if the BR option will be coming back?

Thanks!

Does anybody want to exchange and proofread each others resumes for grammar, style, spelling, etc. errors? If so comment and I'll message you!

I started studying for the LSAT in May with about 7 wrong on per LR section, and 10 wrong on RC, and 7 for LG. My scores became consistent in the lower 160s since late June. Now I'm in the mid160s, with RC and LG visibly improving, but LR unchanged (5-7 wrong per section). I finished 7Sage CC in August, and really liked the courses. But it seems that my LR skills haven't improved at all? I'm shocked to learn that, but I only have about 4 weeks left for my first LSAT. I'm considering postponing the test, because I don't think I can hit the 170s within the next month...

I have looked through earlier posts on similar issue, but haven't seen a similar situation. Any advice, experience and good tips would be much appreciated! Should I go back to the LR CC? Should I look for a tutor, etc..?

(I have read the LSAT trainer, Manhattan prep LR, but haven't done any drilling for LR. I always have 2-3 wrong per section due to mis-reading: simply pressed for time, trying to read faster.)

Hey I noticed the post "what affects your chances of getting into law school" only uses October as the earliest application date. This is the same with the law school predictor. How about if i apply in september? Does that give an even earlier boost?

Hey guys! With applications opening today, I can say I am still lost with the process of using LSAC and CAS to apply to the schools I want. Now that applications are open there is a button that says "apply." Should I have all of my letters of recommendation and transcripts on LSAC before hitting apply or is this just where you can edit your application and save it as you go?

What im struggling with is picking the answer- when i pick my answer im like 100% its correct and then i find out im wrong. Im picking the ans with with the most relevance and still getting it wrong! WHAT DO I DO?

eg: Pt3 sec 2

PT3 Sec 4

Like i just dont understand why these are the ans, when the ans i have picked are relevant to the passage

Any tips on how to make your test day the same as review? I always find that the silly mistakes I make on a PT come to me so easily in review.

Guidance on how to make sure that doesn't happen in three weeks?

How are y'all dealing.... need some support right now.

Hi all,

I was wondering what your thoughts are on writing a personal statement about overcoming mental health issues. I've heard mixed responses as to whether a PS on this topic is a good idea given the stigma that surrounds mental health, the possibility that law schools might question your abilities, etc. I personally think that if framed correctly, writing about overcoming mental health issues and what you learned from it can highlight positive characteristics such as strength or persistence, but I'm not sure if admissions committees would agree.

Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,

So far I have fool proofed games from PT 1-18 and another 10 between PT 36-50 (the PTs I have taken so far) and I am wondering if it is a good idea to take a week or two just to focus on foolproofing the remaining games before I start taking prep tests again? Or should I continue with fool proofing 4-5 games/week?

I just thought I should focus on fool proofing for a while since I have still been averaging around -5 of LG sections. Would appreciate your input.

If you're taking the Sept. 2019 LSAT and your account is inconveniently set to expire a few days before the test date, you can get a free 14-day extension from this page: https://classic.7sage.com/free-extension/

For those of you who are expiring after, good luck on the LSAT! We here at 7Sage are rooting for you.

How do you keep yourself motivated when you are tired? I am doing LSAT study part time and gunning for one of the fall administration exams this year (probably november or october if the burn out doesn't get me first). Sometimes I just keep getting everything wrong, other days I'll get everything right. It's hard to be okay with the bad days when you've had a few good ones.

If you're someone who is motivated or is well-adjusted: what keeps you going? What motivates, encourages or pushes you? How do you find ways to cope? Or, if you're in the same boat as I am: how have you been trying to adjust to these struggles?

I'm having a very "off" day -- I'm getting everything wrong, even though I know I can get it right. I'm struggling to accept that I'm going to have bad days and good days. I understand the logic of it all -- I know that the learning process isn't necessarily linear and that I'm going to have to expect the occasional set-backs, etc. but are there any mental/emotional/physical/etc techniques (for ex: meditation, etc) that you guys do that work for you when, and if, you find yourself feeling this way? I'm looking for camaraderie and also looking to learn from what you all have to share about your experiences.

For those of you with the loophole book and CC, did you find Chapter 9 and on to be helpful?

I found the book helpful so far, but would opt to skip if there's not much new stuff.

I am looking for someone to take pt with and BR with weekends plus monday and Wednesday evening. Not available on tuesday and thursday. Schedule is pretty flexible.

Now that we're officially switching over to digital, how are y'all foolproofing LG? By printing out a bunch of games like before, or by using the digital simulator and scratch paper? Any tips?

Is there a way to adjust the settings of the digital test taker so that I can take a 5-section practice test as opposed to the default 4-section test?

So frustrating to lose points out of carelessness. I try to keep it in mind to read closely, but I fail at it far too often. Any tips in this regard?

Good morning 7sagers,

I would like to purchase a copy of Ellen Cassidy's "The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning" and it seems to be unavailable on all of the platforms I would look for it: Amazon, e-Bay, Barnes and Noble, HalfPrice Books, Thriftbooks...

If anyone has a copy they would be willing to part with, preferably not all marked up, I would be willing to buy it from you. I can Venmo you for the book and for shipping today.

Thanks--

Kat

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it's necessary to write an addendum for explaining why I worked at a job for less than 6 months. I was also wondering if it's okey to include such jobs on resume or it's best to leave them out.

I would greatly appreciate your response. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I took the July LSAT and got a 157. Although I started studying 6 months before that, I didn't start doing full tests until about 2 months before and so I didn't see much improvement at all. I expected something around this score because I was getting between 155-165 on PT.

My dilemma is whether or not I should cancel my score. I am going away for 4 months from Sep-Dec and would only be able to take the LSAT again in January. If I cancel, I'm concerned that it would look bad as the January test is the latest for the 2020 cycle. I'm applying to most of the Ontario schools as well as Dalhousie and UBC. If I keep my score, I feel like I might stand a chance with a 157, though I will retake for sure. When I retake, I expect that my score will be between 160-165.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello,

First time poster. I am starting to PT, I am not sure if BR is helping me. Does anyone have any tangible evidence in their experience with PT and BR impacting or improving their scores?

Thank you,

S.

So right now - just in the midst of restarting my academic semester. This summer has been killer for me school & work wise. I have been studying. However, unfortunately my studying time took a huge impact.

So just wanted to know - especially from those who put in consistent hours per day/week - how do you do that? what are some tips and tricks look like? how many questions do you a day? do you focus on section per day to be more effective or do you do a mix (LR/LG/RC)?

Trying to structure my day as follows:

going to post a picture of my schedule tomorrow and see what others think. but until then, just wanted to know how the real go getters get it done.

thanks in advance for the help.

Hey everyone,

Just needed some advice on this: diagramming the MBT & SA questions. I feel on a time section this is a huge time sink for me but I usually get the question right most of the time. However, I know it is not recommended to do as a test strategy. How do you untrain yourself from diagramming? Or how do you develop not diagram? I feel it will save me like 2-4 mins on a test...

Any advice would be most appreciated .... thanks!
