Hi all! :)

I'm new to 7Sage and wanted to get some advice from all of you. I purchased the Ultimate+ package with 6 months out to my LSAT date (July 2019). The Study Schedule generator produced a pretty intense schedule with roughly 32 hours/week of studying. When I adjusted the generator to produce a 25 hours/week schedule, it pushed out the end date to September 2019. I work full time (with some flexibility), so I'm trying to be more realistic with my schedule and study for about 20-25 hours a week.

Any advice on lessening the hour commitment per week but still getting quality content? Any advice in general for folks working full time jobs while studying? Has anyone here taken the Ultimate+ package with 6 months out until the exam.

Invited to an optional interview as part of the application process. First availability is 2 weeks from now, and pretty slim pickings at that. If I signed up for the interview the application wouldn't be considered complete until after I did the interview. Do you all think it would be too detrimental if I did not sign up for one? My stats are 3.3 and 162. Lewis and Clark Medians 3.38 and 158.

Hi Guys,

So I've been having a hard time getting over the awkwardness of reaching out to professors I haven't spoken to in 1-2 years to ask for law school recommendation letters. The professors I plan to ask, have written recommendation letters for me in the past and have also agreed to serve as job references for me. However, it's been a year and a half since I've kept in contact with them.

Since I do not know if they are currently still teaching at my old undergrad, I'll have to reach out to them via email. Do you guys have any suggestions, tips, advice for the best way to go about requesting letters from them? I am afraid they will just flat out say no or ignore the request, which would leave me VERY stuck.

To add, if they do agree, I would like them to address specific aspects of my applicant profile such as participation in Mock trial (which they are aware is something I participated in). Should I send them some of the work I did in their class in the initial email request? I did receive As in both classes, and although I may not have been a standout student, I did well in their classes and I would be someone they'd remember. Perhaps I am overthinking all of this.

Nevertheless, any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

I was just looking up the LSAT dates for 2019, and although I knew about the March date, I was looking for an alternate just in case. I saw that there are June and July LSATs but I can't seem to find info about whether or not those are for Saturday Sabbath observers only...anybody know?

  • New year, new screen name: I'm the student formerly known as Rachael Lipton.

  • I love the night mode with inverted colors setting so much! Please keep it. I was getting a nasty headache after long sessions on here, and with the inverted colors, I am headache-free. So, thanks :)

    I am currently going through the CC doing about half of the problem sets (the rest I was told to save for drilling) untimed. I want to fully grasp the fundamentals but I am worried that I am answering the questions too slowly. Does time become less of an issue by the time you finish the CC?

    Hello,

    I had a quick question regarding transcripts; before transferring to the university I am currently attending, I attended a different one. Do I have to send the transcripts from both institutions or will the transcripts from my current university be fine?

    Thank you in advance!

    Does anyone happen to have a list of all the comparative passages? (Ex, PT 57, Passage 3). I want to drill them and was hoping someone had a list. Sincerely, someone feeling lazy.

    Anyone have any information about patent law? I just recently stumbled upon it and I want to gain more information on it. Anyone here pursuing patent law or know anything about it?

    Hi,

    I am looking for a tutor who can help me get to where I need to be for my LSAT in 3 weeks.

    My last LSAT score from Oct was 167, and I have been getting -2 to -4 for LG in my PTs. I am ashamed to say that LG is my current worst section since I have been scoring -1 to -2 for my RC and -2 to -3 for my LRs.

    **I need to get to -0 to -1 for my LG in three weeks' time.**I am dedicated to this goal in terms of time and work.

    My LG actually worsened as my other sections improved and I probably have became accustomed to some bad habits and faulty techniques. If you are confident you could help me, please DM me.

    Time zone: gmt +11

    Thanks!!

    Hey 7Sagers,

    We're posting on behalf of a 7Sager. They would like to get advice from you!

    For some reason on my first PT I got 20/27 on reading comprehension. Now every single time I take a PT I'm getting between 12-16.

    I usually finish without enough time to read and answer the last questions for the last passage - any tips on how I can fix this.

    Additionally, I feel like if I get say 12/23 on logic games or 17/23 I get the same score. Is the test designed to be more difficult in certain sections on certain tests? I have been consistently getting 152, and I'm hoping to get a 156.

    Hi all,

    From what I understand, Powerscore and 180 watches are no longer permitted on test day. However, does anyone know if we are allowed to place our permitted analog watch on our desk during our exam, or must the watch be worn instead?

    Wearing the watch is quite cumbersome and (for me at least) makes resetting the time to 12:00 between sections a bit awkward.

    Thanks for any help, folks!

    I noticed that I have been struggling with In/Out games. Therefore, I’m specifically targeting fool proofing these types of games. The plan is to go from easy, medium, and hard. I’ve done Prep Test 24,29,48,54,63 game 1’s and get all of those in 5 mins or less and it didn't even take me 4 try's. However, I’ve been struggling with Prep Test 36 game 1. I’ve watched JY’s video for it a number of times, and I have attempted the game at least 5 times.I'm still getting only 1-3 right, I know the answers of the others but I'm having a hard time understanding how they are right, and finding why them on my own (4-6). Any tips on understanding specifically 4 and 5?

    Hi Everyone,

    I’m currently studying for the June exam and have been working through the reading comprehension section to improve my score. I am currently averaging four wrong on this section. However, logic games is my strength. I have had much success with hard games such as the virus, dinosaur, and stain glass windows.

    I’m looking for a study partner who’s strength leans more towards reading comprehension. I can help you with logic games so we can get very good at both sections together. Please PM me if you are interested.

    Thanks!

    Is prep test 75 less of a representation of the difficulty of the most recent tests? I found it easier than 78,79,80 and 81. But, that could be because I am taking them in reverse order. I took 81, 80, 79, 78, then jumped to 75 and I found 75 easier. I know test before 72 were really easy, so I'm wondering if I got a better score due to improvement or because earlier tests in the 70-75 range are easier?

    I just started foolproofing the LG Games Bundle and want to give my self 2 months tops to complete it. I plan on taking the March LSAT and spending at least 1 month for my PT cycle (2-3 weeks of that month at 3 PTs/week + BR). I want to start PTing mid February at 1/PT per week, then move on to 2 PTs/week and then 3PT/week the last two weeks before the exam. I will be studying full-time for 2-3 weeks before the exam. I am in school and focusing on foolproofing the bundle (Pacifico's Method) in January and February.

    Any tips on how to accomplish:

  • LG Bundle Foolproofing in 1-2 months (game sections per week while in school, Pacifico v. JY Method, doing some 1-35 LG sections timed after foolproofing a bunch., incorporating LR and RC drills etc.)

  • Starting a PT cycle, and doing a 1-1.5 PT Cycle with extensive BR

  • Drilling LR and RC

    • I have Ultimate +. Scored a diagnostic in the 140s early Dec 2018. Struggled with LG games. Average to meh in LR and RC. Break until Jan 1. Rebooted Studying and now working on LG Bundle.

    Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    hi all,

    1)so while realistically speaking, my goal is to shoot for the highest score possible, my dream score would be 172 plus. given that I am able to put in 4-6 hours of studying 6 days a week, how many months might pt-ing in the 174 +range take to ensure that I can score 172 on test day? I don't plan on applying to take the test until at least November 2019, and my diagnostic was 140.

    thank you!

    Hi 7sagers,

    After a solid month-long break from studying, I am ready to dive back into LSAT prep. However, before I begin I’d like to seek some advice. I originally was aiming toward taking the exam this month (January) but I am definitely not ready. My new goal is to improve enough for the June LSAT. I need to increase my score by about 13-18 points. What study habits do you recommend? Are there any study schedule templates you suggest? How should I go about studying week-to-week? (ex. should I start the week with a practice exam and then blind review it the rest of the week, or just do practice questions each day, or do 1 section a day, etc) What should I focus on?

    I thank you in advance and appreciate whatever input you have to offer.

    Thank you guys!
