Don’t think I’ve seen this info anywhere... but thinking about sending an additional LOR to a school I’m waitlisted at. Can you do this through CAS? Do you just assign another letter? Or since they already received your report do you have to send directly to the school? Anyone know?

Hi everyone! First post since becoming a 7Sager last week :)

Does anyone know if the free proctored prep test that Princeton Review periodically provides is the same test each time? I went to a free event months ago (it turned out to be the June 2007 PT) and am signed up for the upcoming test this Saturday.

Hi everyone,

I'm gearing up for June and LG is holding me back from easily scoring in the 170s. Over the last four PTs I'm averaging -6.5 on this section. I've been studying for over half a year, and I already did PT 1-35 FPing. Before the last four PTs I used to go approximately -3 (never -0), but now I'm -6.5. I even took two weeks off from PTing in March to focus on LG--did drilling by type, but on the two PTs afterwards I got -5 and -6 on LG. Worth mentioning that I do the pacifico method with each new weekly PT I take.

As expected, I BR 100% nearly every time. During the exam here's what I think happens: I go too slow (feel this most during my setups; often feel rushed for the last game/or the game I skip and come back to at the end), my setups aren't 100% (sometimes I freeze while diagramming/miss an opportunity to optimally diagram), I make avoidable (in hindsight) mistakes with questions. I've also been running a list of every mistake I've made, if anyone wants more info.

Maybe my procedure is sloppy? (I also wrote up a worddoc describing my ideal procedure, lol I'm trying everything.) Idk what's up. Getting frustrated because this is the section everyone says is easiest to improve on, but it doesn't seem that way for me.

Now I'm at a loss as to how to improve and would appreciate targeted help. I know I need to do more drilling but I want to be efficient about it before June. Should I be doing more sets of LGs from new PTs? Does this sound like time pressure anxiety?

Would really appreciate any words of advice (3(/p)

Should I bother asking for more $ even though I don't have much leverage as far as other schools with better offers? I haven't paid the fist seat deposit yet, so maybe that would be considered? Looking at the law school numbers site, two people have been accepted after my group with lower LSAT and GPA and were offered the same amount...

Thoughts?

I just got my first 180 on a practice test and I'm about to pass out from excitement.

About me

Diagnostic: 148 (LR: -18) (RC: -14) (LG: -21)

Current PT Avg: 167 (LR: -8) (RC: -5) (LG: -2)

I'll be sitting for the test throughout this upcoming cycle and aiming for 169+. Tutoring offers me an effective way to internalize this material and get over my own hang-ups keeping me from a consistent 169+ score. Also, I've been working with a pro-bono tutor for the past 6 months and I'd like to pay that forward.

I can meet for 2-3 1-hour sessions per week via skype and I live in pst timezone.

EDIT: Please feel free to DM me if you're not comfortable posting publicly. And for the sake of clarity, this is a pro-bono offering : )

Hey guys, I'm in the process of wrapping up my CC within the next month or so and I was wondering if there is going to be BR study group for those of us planning for Nov 2018/Jan 2019 seating??? If so, I would love to join the group! I noticed the June 2018 group started a while back to give plenty of time to get through the PTs without rushing, so I just don't want miss out if this is already in motion!!!

I'm waitlisted at my top choice. Not accepted anywhere. I'm already studying for a June retake, about to submit my LOCI tonight, and will have an additional LOR sent next week. What else should I be doing? Should I visit again? Thanks in advance!

Does NYU send out notification if you are under review for first second or third rounds? I saw something on reddit that indicated that NYU applicants can see if they had several “under review” dates. I’ve been “under review” since late Feb, or at least that the status date on my status checker...

I have tried deleting and re-installing the app but the LG’s will not play.

I know it's early to think about this, but what are some typical/ideal jobs for the 1L summer? I know for your 2L summer you should be looking at law firms, but I heard firms are increasingly hesitant to hire 1Ls. Just trying to get idea since I really haven't heard much about the 1L summer.

Any recommendations?

Hello, I had dropped out my first college, after getting 7 semesters, as I was not into my major, and then I entered another college with a different major and graduated. Should I register my first college record at CAS?

I'm confused, beacuse I attented that school more than 2 years. So I think I have to do, but I am afraid whether it has a bad effect on me. Should I just skip this?

Hey does anyone have good links or a list for the different type of cookie cutter questions? I know there's the oldest trick in the book and the like, but I'm drawing blanks on everything else. I'd love to get as many as these together to drill and foolproof them!

does anyone else find that they do worse on LR practice problems from tests before 2001? I find myself struggling with old problems more, particularly the vocabulary.

For BR process, can I change answers to all of the questions or only the ones that I circled?

Hi All!

I am retaking the LSAT in June and I am currently studying again but I am retaking some of the more recent PTs that I took over a year ago when I first began studying.

I am a full time teacher and have a part-time job, so I am really busy and have given myself ample time and space to prepare for this test. So far, I have not recalled any of the questions/answers on the PTs I have taken again. Some subject matter does seem familiar, but to be honest it all seems to blend together after a while.

What do you all think? Retake more of the recent PTs (2007-on) for practice, or just go to the older ones, which I have never seen before?

Has anyone taken (or know anyone that's taken) Legal Eagle Prep's masterclass? https://www.legaleagleprep.com/masterclass

It kind of sounds like Larry Law Law's KTCOOLS program.

Alright, so let me start by saying I know how great of a problem this is to have. I am choosing between two of the best programs in the country and I'm thrilled. That being said... It's still not an easy decision.

My goals include PI (something juvenile justice, family law, or criminal law) and a clerkship. I am trying to compare Michigan and Columbia clerking numbers, and from what I can tell, Michigan places better. But I'm confused-- are those numbers based on self-selection? I find it hard to believe that Columbia would not have good clerking stats.

Of course, money is a factor. I did get a healthy scholarship from Michigan (around 60% tuition), and am still waiting to hear from Columbia on that front. That is a huge plus for Michigan, but I am not sure how much to let that sway me--Columbia has great LRAP and I would have the option to go to a firm for a few years to pay down debt.

Another factor is my SO being located in NY. Though not a deciding factor, it would be a perk for Columbia, for sure. Any thoughts from strangers?

Hey y'all :) I have two quick questions for those of you who, preferably, have bidden farewell to the LSAT after beasting out recently.

First of all, I used to be super impatient with having to wait until thorough BR was over years ago when I was studying for this test. So as much as I wanted to brainwash myself that I was BRing, as soon as I finished a PT, I rushed to the last page and started checking answers. Looking back, I know I shot myself in the foot. (I ended up not taking the LSAT that year. Smart choice.)

Years have passed since then. I started studying a couple of months ago and this time things have changed. I AM TAKING IT REALLY SLOW WHEN IT COMES TO PTs. So I'd do a timed LR or RC section(with a scantron!) and sometimes I check my answers a day or EVEN TWO DAYS LATER. In between, I am writing down how I separated conclusions and premises, any assumptions/patterns/trap answer choices I have noticed that repeatedly occur on the test, which answer choices particularly confused me and WHY I fell for the trap answer choices and HOW I would counter differently if I were to do it again etc. Only then, do I check the answers. Yes, I do this for almost every question except for super obvious MP questions or questions that I was 100% confident with that it took me 10 seconds to finish. As you know very well, this entire process even for a single LR or RC section really takes a long time. Half a day is the minimum on a single timed section. The thing is sometimes I feel as though I'm too comfortable with the waiting process. Is taking a day or two between timed sections laudable or am I taking it too slowly? Granted, taking a long time BRing doesn't always necessarily lead to awesome results but what do you think, Mr./Ms. Gurus?

Second question is shorter: my performance on a few timed LR sections in the late 20s and the 30s onwards have been -5 to -3. BR scores have hit -2 at best(for instance on PT 30). This makes me feel really great. But at the same time I am working on PT 1 to 10 and it gives me a heart attack to see the results: timed scores are -8 to even -15 on a SINGLE LR section(PT 5 to be exact) and BR scores aren't really different from timed scores. I feel as though I'm preparing for a different test when it comes to pre-PT 10s. Are LR sections in the 60s and 70s much more similar to the 30s on which I have been performing well? How much weight would you give to these crappy results from LR sections from the early 1990s? The crazy thing of all is that when I'm going through questions timed, I feel the same. And then the results: bam. -15 and -3 confuse the heck outta me.

Am I on the right path?

Just got my first rejection. Got denied by Texas Tech. Pretty sure its due to my gpa. Thought I had a fairly good chance due to being 4 points above their 75th LSAT. Oh well. Still waiting on Texas AM and UNT. I appreciate this forum, everyone here has always been very kind and cordial to one another. I've been browsing the r/lawadmissions subreddit and it seems very toxic to me. I'm glad 7sage is not the same!

Hi Everybody,

I am looking for some advice about applying for LSAT Accommodations. I know that there have been posts in the past about accommodations (and I have read all of them several times over), but it's a topic that hasn't been discussed in about 2 years. Thus a lot of those that had advice are already in law school and no longer on 7Sage.

Background: I have had a neurological disability since childhood that has become very severe in the last 5 years, and it has impaired my cognition significantly. I have been under the care of neurologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, and other specialists for several years now, and I know all of them would be willing to write letters recommending that I receive extra time on the LSAT. However, I did not receive accommodations on the SAT/ACT because, frankly, I didn't know that was an available option when I was in high school. I also did not apply for accommodations when I took the LSAT in Sept 2014 because the law school adviser I was getting help from at the time discouraged me from applying for the accommodations because, according to her, having the *** next to my name that told the law school admissions panels that I was disabled was worse than a lower score.

All of that being said, does anyone have any tips or advice for applying to try and get accommodations this time around? Or any opinions on whether you think I should even take the time to apply or think I have any shot at having the accommodations granted?

How have those who have gone for local questions first in Logic Games found that strategy? I am about to try it out, however, I feel like the act of looking for them might cause a scattered feeling which might have a negative affect. And do you think the time it takes to hunt the local questions is worth it?

I have been admitted to a few schools, and one of them has not yet given me their financial aid decision. It has been about a month since I was admitted, and I completed my financial aid application forms shortly thereafter. I am worried about the fact that I have yet to hear back from them. I'll note that they let me know I must submit all of the materials to them by March 15th in order to have an offer back from them by the seat deposit deadline of April 30th, so perhaps they always take a relatively long time.

My question is this: does my attending or not attending their upcoming admitted students weekend influence their decision on my financial aid? For context I'll add that their aid is based on demonstrated need and I come from a very low income background.

Thank you so much for reading! Please share your thoughts.
