Plateauing at 164, started at a 144 in June, so I'm stoked on the improvement. My goal is to get a 170+ on the June LSAT, so I want to be PTing above a 170 really really soon. I need advice on what to do. I know a lot of you who got a 170+ score probably were stuck in a plateau for a long time. I really want to know how you handled to situation and what you did to get over the hump. Obviously, the specifics will be different for each person, so I just want to know how you personally handled the situation.

Hello 7sagers!

This might be a dumb question but I can't find the notorious "LG Bundle". I looked on Cambridge and it wasn't there, and apparently 7sage had it at one point? I'm not sure. The latest PT's I can find are 19-28 on amazon. If that's the case, should I just start foolproofing from there?

I have 29-81, and I've been foolproofing the 29-38 so far. But since I'm in post-core curriculum now, I've started to do my PT's, and I havn't been able to properly PT the LG section because I've been using them for foolproofing instead of for a score, which I know the PT's aren't for a score but for practice. For example, I do timed sections of LR and RC but when it comes to LG, I havn't been timing them because I'm not confident enough yet, so I just end up foolproofing the games on a separate day. Still, I'm wondering how others are doing their practice PT's and how they are doing or did the LG's when they got to that section.

Thanks, again for all your help guys :)

Quote from LSAC email:

LSAT test takers who wish to cancel their LSAT score for any reason have had two options—cancel the score on their answer sheet at the time of the test, or cancel the score in their LSAC.org account within 6 days after the test. LSAC has reviewed data relating to these two options and has found that the majority of score cancellations are currently done online. Some of the cancellations done on the day of the test were unintended and had to be undone. To make sure that test takers fully intend to cancel their score, LSAC is simplifying the score-cancellation options. Starting with the June 2018 LSAT, test takers will have the single option of cancelling their score through their account in LSAC.org, starting the day after the test administration. Test takers will still have 6 calendar days to log in to their account to cancel their score.

Besides a school's ranking and whether a particular school will improve your odds of landing a job, what are you looking for in a law school? Are there other things that make a school attractive or not? I am taking my first law school tour tomorrow and just curious about others thoughts and possible factors that may not be on my radar. Thanks!

Are there any June'18 test takers that are on their 2nd week of the Course, or am I the only one??

Hi everyone, question on how to approach this question. The question gives two arguments, Jane's and Maurice's. The question stem states, "Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens Jane's argument?" So after reading this question stem we know it's about Jane's argument, and her argument is the first one. So my question, is it even necessary to read Maurice's argument?

Time is my biggest issue so being able to cut out that information and time spent on reading it could help.

What's everyone's thoughts? Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone had any good resources for audio learning. I currently have a job where I'll be a road warrior, and figure I might as well be learning about the LSAT on the road (if any such resource even exists). If anyone has information on podcasts, or other audio learning materials, please let me know!

Is there no one up at 1am right now on a Wednesday? anxiety

Has anyone else been really discouraged by their inability to figure out this test?

Please give me some stories of what it was like when you weren’t so good and what changed and what it’s like now!

I had a really frustrating experience. I was working for probably 15+ minutes on a grouping games with chart problem set in the CC. I was really struggling, couldn’t figure it out, couldn’t make any inferences.

My roommate who has never seen an LSAT question in his life was interested in what I was doing and I gave him a copy of it and told him I was struggling. He figured it out in under 10 minutes.

This really hit me disproportionately hard.

I have viewed discussion threads for the past month, and I have decided to sign up for Ultimate Plus. I am hoping that I can pull myself out of this rut.

Last summer, I had signed up for a pricey Powerscore online course, cancelled one LSAT score, and then in December, I had gotten below a 150. It was a disaster, and the nerves were getting the best of me. I was so nervous during the test. I had PT'd consistently around a 165, studied while working full-time, in the middle of a career change, and being a mother of two. I was beyond disappointed.

I decided to try to shake it off, immerse myself in studying, and I am hoping to pull myself out of this funk and score what I am capable of doing.

Starting my 7sage journey.....now!

Hi everyone. Like everyone I'm sure, I miss a lot more questions when I'm trying to focus on speed. Often when I slow down, or during the blind review, I can get a lot more questions correct that I previously didn't know or answered incorrectly. So I'm looking for advice on how everyone else is improving their speed while retaining accuracy.

One thing I've thought about is when I find the correct answer moving on immediately without reading the remaining. I haven't started doing it though because it seems counter-intuitive to everything I've ever learned about test taking.

Thanks!

First congrats to everybody who got into their dream school, received the massive LSAT score you all deserve, or just survived another week at the job you can't wait to leave behind!

I'm curious about whether it would be wise to submit a late addenda to the effect of a Why School X essay. I applied to Virginia at the end of November, have been UR1 since mid December with no word since then. Virginia is one of my top 3-4 choices and I'm a splitter, so I could reasonably fall into the admit, yield protect, or ding categories, especially in this volatile cycle. I've heard advice saying a late Why School X essay can help convince a school that you're serious about them, but also caution against. The reason against being that if I were wait listed next week, I wouldn't have much material to write about. I'm also curious if such a late addenda would delay a decision?

I guess any advice, hearsay or personal experience would be greatly appreciated!

Can anybody give me insight on why these questions on this post lsat survey is? It felt invasive, and (for me) very unnecessary... is that just me? Do I have to answer these questions? My god, I thought the lsac would be a little less obvious with what they were asking.

Let me know, I was just very blindsided.

So I have always had really good memory - which has not helped me on the LSAT but I digress - and I haven't been fool proofing for very long but I do notice that when I fool proof a game I have a tendency to remember what the answers were for certain games even when I am doing a game a week later. I know for fool proofing you're really supposed to focus on memorizing the inferences but my brain can't help it, even after waiting and entire week my brain will still remind me of the correct answer choice and it's making it really difficult to focus on memorizing inferences. Any suggestions?

most people invest without doing any research of their own

Intuitively I would want to lawgic it out like people who invest -m--> /do research, but then I was like wait no the sufficient condition should be negated since it's group 3.

How do you know when to ignore certain indicators? Do you just treat the two ideas like they are separate when there is a "most" statement? "most" will always refer to the sufficient condition and the other idea has to be the necessary? Since without refers to the 2nd idea you just negate that one.

I didn't even bother lawgicing it out because the AC was really obvious and it was an easy Q but I don't want to deal w this confusion on a harder q where I actually have to lawgic it out.

Just wanted to know if there's any difference between the U.S. LSAT paper and the international ones and if there's anything I should keep in mind, since I am prepping with the U.S. tests. Thanks!

Hey guys, we're posting on behalf of a 7Sager. They're wondering the following:

I have finished the program and It time for me to take my first timed test (prep test 36). But I feel that I need more practice first. should I go to the question bank or should my practice just be done by taking timed test?

The test are really valuable and I don't want to waste them. I will be taking the June LSAT. Thank you guys.

Any advice?

I recently received a call and email from a law professor at a school I applied to (the school I applied to already accepted me). The professor called to encourage me to attend the school and to take his class.

I’m wondering if this is common practice among law professors?

March 1st calls for my lsat score & bracketology. At least there is one thing to look forward to.

Hey 7Sage!!

I received an email from Columbia expressing my status as "on hold". Apparently, it just means I have to wait a little longer for a decision. Has anyone ever dealt with this? Any tips on things I can do to tip the scale in my favor? They said I could send a LOCI (which I definitely will do), is there a format for this as well? I really hope I get in... Thanks in advance everyone!

Cheers,

Chris

I'm still a little confused on how the process works with showing financial need when you are working full time. My FAFSA shows that I have a decent salary, but I'm single and so that obviously will go away once I start school - my salary will be $0 haha. Do schools automatically account for that? Do I need to contact admissions/financial aid to clarify it?

We should be seeing new law school rankings by March 20th! Hopefully the ABA releases employment data by that time as well!

If anyone knows of new schools that are now accepting GRE scores as well as LSAT scores, please comment and tell us which ones! Lets make one big list that is organized, and in one discussion! Thanks!

Is it worth putting myself on the lsat waiting list? Do people ever cancel? Or do I have to wait for July instead of June?

So I'm 26 and living on my own. My parents are divorced and don't financially support me anymore since I have a good job. I saw that some schools require parent info even if you are already 26. To top it off, FAFSA asks for information for only one parent. Anyone in a similar boat or know which parent to choose? I'm very confused
