Is there anyone here with a job that has lots of afternoons/evenings and less business hours? If so, how are you dealing with this?

I took the December LSAT and scored a 150. My last score reported was in Decemeber 2016 with a 141 and before that in 2013 with a 143. Should I write an addendum explaining my scores or is it not worth it?

Thanks for all of your responses.

Hi all -

Wanted to share a link to a strong law school resume that appeared on USNWR. There are comments throughout the resume from Mike Spivey (who is quickly becoming my favorite person) and the student. I thought it was a great and has given me a few ideas on how to change up my very boring resume.

Has anyone seen this? haha!

Just realized I actually need to send a C&F addendum to one of my schools--it's a really minor issue. Anyone willing to look over a draft?

I work Monday through Friday from 8:30-5:30. Would 2 hours a night and extra time on the weekends be enough? I've seen some other study schedules that make me feel like maybe this won't be enough to get the score I need.

Any help would be appreciated.

If schools explicitely state on their websites that they only look at your highest LSAT score, will they care about your # of attempts or cancelations? Since there are no more restrictions on how many times you can take LSAT, I am wondering, let's say, five LSAT scores on your record is going to be deterimental on your application. Thank you in advance.

Hello 7Sagers,

I am taking the February 10th LSAT. It will be my 3rd 8:30am LSAT (but second with an actual score, as I cancelled my score my first go-around September 2016). My next LSAT will be either the June or July one - both of which are administered Monday at 12:30.

How have you all found studying/preparing for that test different from studying/preparing for the "typical" 8:30am test? I can provide more details on what exactly I mean, but I feel like readers will get what I mean.

Although most law schools claim not to have a preemptive cutoff score for the LSAT. Let be real, they have to draw the line somewhere. Let’s say for a school whose median is 153, and a mean of 150. Would you say that cutoff is 149?

Got 108k in scholarship to UUIC. Numbers close to median and a special shout out to @"David.Busis" for helping me prepare a stellar application! Highly recommend his services!

I am working my way through the CC currently and it's really paying off (wish I found 7sage months ago!). I'm wondering what you guys do when you get to the problem sets. Do you watch every explanation video or just the ones for the questions you struggled with?

Currently I'm watching every single explanation video regardless of how I performed on the question, but I'm wondering if I'm using my time inefficiently in doing so. I'm definitely improving but sometimes I think my time would be better used moving along more quickly. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Hey guys, since I didn't do a BR call for PT83, I want to open the forums up to solicit questions from PT83, preferably from LR.

If you have a question about PT83 please make a new thread with a title conforming to:

PT83.S#.Q# - first several words from the stimulus

Do not ask the question here in this thread. Make a new thread.

Try to explain your thought process in your original post. I'll try to answer / explain.

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue....

I’m noticing that some law schools ask for all your work experience (paid and unpaid) since age “x” to be on your resume but if I were to do that then my resume would exceed 1 page. Is it better to have more than 1 page or is it ok to exclude the not so important jobs/unpaid summer internships?

Thanks!

I am still waiting to hear from 4 of the schools I applied to (application submitted in November) and received a notable award at the company I work for at the end of 2017. Since I've been out of school for a few years I consider this an award worth informing schools of but I've noticed that some blatantly state to submit updated résumés while others don't. Should I submit an updated résumé if a school doesn't specifically say I should? I assume that it wouldn't hurt but could be wrong, any thoughts?

Hello,

Why is E wrong?

Is E wrong because it is an assumption that plants and animals "will" move to inhabit areas that are currently used for "agriculture"

I am wondering if there are any methods and/or ideas you use to configure a game board within the analytical reasoning section. Thank you in advance.

Could anyone confirm that it will not show up on your record even if you withdraw more than once? I withdrew from the September LSAT, and am registered for the February LSAT, but not scoring where I need to be.

Thanks!

I really struggle with reading comprehension, and have been thinking of ways to improve. I have a few months before I write the LSAT and was wondering what some of you would recommend to get better.

I was thinking about subscribing to the economist and reading random articles that I find hard on a daily basis and using the 7sage reading comprehension method to really understand those articles. But I'd really like to hear from some of you who are killing the reading comp section. What works??

Hi everyone!

I've been studying with 7Sage since October while working full-time, going through the Core Curriculum lessons after work (spending about 3-4 hours per day). I started writing timed PTs in mid-December, and I've completed about 20 of them to date. My average score is 157, with my highest being 159. My target is 160, but of course I would love to be within the mid-160s.

After reading the discussion threads during the December exam timeframe and reading the threads now, there seems to be a general consensus that one should postpone if they're not scoring near their desired range. Does anyone have any advice for those of us that might be very close or just barely within their target?

My apologies if this has been touched on previously...

Many thanks!

Hi everyone happy friday! I figured we could all use a logic related laugh so I wanted to share something I saw this morning that I thought was hilarious! Start watching at 2:30 for the logic related humor.

Could someone be so kind to explain why AC B is correct? I went with E, quite confidently at that. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I applied to Harvard the other day. I don't have the lsat or the GPA so I anticipate a rejection. I've only told a few people that I applied because I'm embarrassed I even bothered. I gave the personal statement my all but obviously you can't write yourself into a school without the numbers.

I was feeling super excited to just finish the application but today I just feel stupid for it. Am I alone in this?

Would anyone advise against taking 3 tests within the week? If so, what alternative practice would you recommend during my final days of studying?

Hi fellow Sagers,

I'm currently in the final stretch preparing for the February LSAT. I have a quick question re: blind review. I've been doing it for the past 4 weeks, and rarely see an improvement (or significant increase) on my BR results. Sometimes it's actually lower! I feel like I almost look to find a way to pick an alternate answer, if I've tagged a Q for BR. Like it's triggering a part of my brain to second guess my original reasoning. Sometimes my BR is one or two points above or below my timed conditioned PT. For example, just PT-ed #71. Actual score: 165. BR: 166. Am I an outlier? Is this normal? Seems like everyone else scores way higher on their BR. To be clear, I'd be more than happy with anything in the 160s as these scores will fall in and above the medians for my schools of choice (Canada), so I'm not especially bothered by the scores nor am I aiming for the 170s (of course, a score up there would be a pleasant surprise, but I don't think it's realistic). Any feedback on this would be most welcomed.
