So I decided to wait till after graduation from college to officially start my law school journey. I pushed my LSAT back and then withdrew. I do still want to go to law school and definitely see it in my plans but timing does not feel right for me. It's my senior year and I've grown so much as a person, I want to graduate with no regrets. I have several leadership roles on campus, participating in different organizations, and taking the most advanced courses of my college career. I felt really determined to go to law school right after graduation but I underestimated how time consuming studying and applying can be with everything else I am doing. Is anyone else planning to do the same?

Just realized that LSAC changed my Sept. LSAT test date and location. My new location is Kwun Tong Government Secondary School. And the new date is Sept. 16th, which is 1 day earlier than the original date. Is this an error or a real change? Have to rebook the hotel. However, I haven't receive any email notice about this change from LSAC.

Anyone same as me?

I've read discussions regarding the best types of pencils and sharpeners to use... I've been using Papermate HB#2 and have had no issue with them!! Does it really matter? (and along with which type of sharpener to buy/use?)

So i've heard from several people different experiences in regards to the lsat proctors on test day. Some say that the proctors stay in the front of the room and others hover over you as you are taking the exam. I personally find it intimidating and distracting when someone is walking around me and watching over me as I am taking an exam. Does anyone know if this is a LSAC protocol or it varies from proctor to proctor?

Studying for the February 2018 LSAT anyone else? Am I the first to post? Is it necessary to study for this long period of time? Will anyone ever see my topic? Find out next year!

One of the RC passages in Sept. 2009 was about copyright and tangible object theory (TOT). In general, the passage goes like this (working from memory here since it's not with me at the moment but it's been bothering me all day):

P1 - Intro of TOT and the VP of proponents - that copyright and other IP rights apply to tangible objects

P2 - extension of P1, with the intro of retained rights concept

P3 - says that TOT has chief advantage of justifying IP rights "without recourse to the popular but problematic assumption that ideas can be copyrighted" or something like that.

I was very confused by that statement in P3. It reads to me like TOT (which holds that tangible objects can be protected) is justifying IP rights while also NOT being COUNTER to the idea that intangible objects (like ideas) cannot be copyrighted (or protected under IP Law).

Am I going crazy? If someone is familiar with this passage, can you please help me out?

I am trying to find a good explanation for answer choice A (correct) over answer choice D (incorrect) on PT.73 LR #1 , Q12.

The stimulus states that the chairperson should not have released the report because they did not consult any other members of the commission before the report was released.

Conclusion: Shouldn't have been released

Premise: Didn't consult

So, what we are looking for is: necessary to consult before it is released.

Answer choice A: It would have been permissible for the chairperson to release only if most of the other member had first given consent

Answer choice D : Would have been justifiable to release only if each of the commission members would have agreed to it being released had they been consulted.

I can't clearly articulate why A is superior to D... 9/10 times I think I would still choose D if I saw this question again.

Can anyone help?

Hey everyone! I'm scheduled to take the Sept. LSAT this Saturday and I am super nervous. I work full time and I plan to apply for the next Fall. I'm at a point right now where I just want a good score to have in my back pocket going into the Dec. LSAT since I probably won't score what I want (170+) this Saturday and I think I will retake in Dec.I don't plan on submitting apps earlier than Jan.

I already cancelled one score from Dec. 2016. Will it be bad if I have two scores and one cancellation? I do really well with BR (173+) but when timed, I score 158,159 etc.

Hey everyone so this will be my first time taking the lsat and I am confused as to what i should be doing in the days leading into it. I took a practice exam 3 days ago on Saturday. And have done little review here and there, but I don't know what I should do from now till Saturday in terms of review or practice exams. Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks and good luck all.

I've spoken to a couple of law students who have started out at one law school and transferred into a T14. Is this full proof? Or will a T14 look into your current law school's ranking for your consideration? I wonder about this often. Any and all stories welcome.

okay here is what I did. I scored the lowest I've ever scored on an RC section a week ago. I thought well damn the test is a week away I'm fucked. So I thought.. Zack you know how to read what the hell is your issue. Basically beat myself up for a solid day. Then I decided that I'm going to take my time up front reading the passages and have a SOLID grasp on the questions.

I scored the highest I have ever gotten simply by slowing down and fully comprehending the passages, rather than trying to read faster than I was comprehending.

me trying to read....

How would people characterize the LR in PT 80 compared to PT 81 or other preptests in general? I felt surprisingly confident as things seemed to click and my timing was on point as well. I did better on this LR section compared to PT 79's LR when I took it in September. Is it worth taking PT 81 before Saturday or maybe just take PT 81 RC as a section?

So I don't really understand how printing multiple copies of the same game and being able to do the games from memory helps me. It just feels like artificial point inflation. Can someone explain? Please and thank you.

I haven't been hitting my target score. I'm a few points away, but I haven't been hitting it.

I signed up for the September LSAT, but now I'm thinking about rescheduling it to December.

I didn't want to do it because I thought maybe that might mean law schools might have already filled up most of their spots by December, so I may have a smaller chance of getting in. Really wanted to start law school next year, and I thought taking in September would be best for timing purposes, but i am not hitting the score I need to hit, so now I'm leaning more towards rescheduling to December. i'm just having a really tough time deciding, so I wanted to get your opinions on this matter.

Thoughts? Advice/suggestions?

Thanks so much.

Hi all! I've been reading some mixed reviews as to what I should be doing the week before and the day before the test. Most people/websites are saying take it easy...do not do a practice test! Where as others are saying take one last practice test or do certain sections. I was wondering if anyone has some advice on what worked for them during the week and the day before the test!

Thanks!

I started at a 155 diagnostic. Now regularly test low 160s. BR is usually upper 160s. I've been putting in 20-30 hours a week since May (in addition to a full-time job and business; I'm a non-traditional student). I started with another LSAT online prep course and did the majority of my training there, but discovered 7Sage when looking for video explanations of the logic games (thanks for those, by the way!). Now signed up here as of 2 weeks ago. I've gone through all the videos for LR and that's helped me move up those points into the low 160s. I know I am capable of more, and that I just need more time to practice and bring up my speed. I discovered 7Sage too late. I'm making steady progress now, but not fast enough for the test on Saturday :/

I feel that upper 160s is reachable for me for sure, even above 170. I'm aiming for higher ranked law schools, but at the very least want a high score for the $$ when considering lower-ranked school. My GPA (graduated 1994) is a 3.94.

So my question: If I know that I'm going to probably score in the low 160s, and that I could do better on the December test, should I even bother with the Sept. one? Will law schools care if there are scores of (say) 161 and 169? or would a single 169 be better?
