Taking the LSAT in Sept - just finished LSAT trainer/my 3rd prep test (65) and the one section I'm not feeling even alright in is RC. I scored a 162 on the above test and missed 12 in RC. For those who have seen improvement - how do you train yourself to synthesize the information quickly and accurately so as to be able to answer the questions that follow? Unless the content is fairly simple, I have a hard time doing the above.

Hi guys,

I recently attended a law school forum in DC and met a lot of schools. Is it ok if I actually write about admissions officer I spoke to at the forum?

Something like: "My recent discussion with Ms. __ __ affirmed my decision to make (enter school name) my top choice. She raved the JD/MPH program......"

Is that ok? Of course I won't make up the conversation we had, but i highly doubt they will remember me anyways lol.

So in the LG section JY has target times for each LG game, but I am unable to find this same thing for the RC passages. I am practicing RC and using JY's method; I spend 4 minutes up from reading the passage, visualizing the structure, and summarizing each paragraph inside my head after I read it. And then just tackle the questions. Sometimes passages take 7 minutes, sometimes 9 or more depending on the level of questions. What method do you guys use to determine a target time in which you should finish the passage in a section?

Hey guys,

Just wanted to get some opinions on who is a really good tutor to help me with my Reading comp and LR.

I am having a lot of trouble with Reading comp. Definitely my worst section by far usually score around 15. My LR is not that bad scoring around 17 but I would like to get much better at these two sections before my planned February exam. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks boys and girls!

Why is D a flaw?

How many PT in total are we generally advised to take, prior to the actual exam? I will finish the core curriculum soon and will have about one month to take pt's. Is that enough? (taking the sep lsat)

The question banks have them as silent videos but I really want to have them on paper in front me to drill. Thank you in advance.

Last PT before we get into the 70s!

RC PT 69 Tuesday 7 PM ET

Experimental from PT 41 LR section 1

Hey so I'm a little frustrated because I feel i'm missing out on some pretty basic questions because of the time pressure and then when i go back and review I figure out the right answer. My questions is how do you comprehend all this info and get to the right answer so fast. Is it basically practice makes perfect? Thanks!

I've been searching for hours but haven't been able to find a useful or remotely comprehensive list. It seems like Northwestern and Georgetown do in-person interviews, and Harvard, Columbia, and UChicago do videoconference interviews. Does anyone else know about the other schools? I mainly ask because I'm debating whether I should even apply to the schools that require in-person interviews, as I will be out of the country next winter/spring and wouldn't be able to fly back without the school actually subsidizing my travel.

Thanks in advance for any useful info!

EDIT: Probably easier to organize by school and update as we get info.

Harvard: Video interview

Yale: No interview

Stanford: No interview

Columbia: Video interview

Chicago: Video interview

Penn: ?? (their website says their admissions committee occasionally asks to interview candidates, but it seems uncommon)

NYU: No interview

Berkeley: No interview

Michigan: No interview

Virginia: Interview (phone? video? in-person?)

Northwestern: In-person interview

Georgetown: In-person group interview

Duke: ??

Cornell: ??

Feeling bummed because I was denied my appeal for the LSAC fee waiver. Initially, I was denied because my cash balances are too high. Today I got the email that my appeal was denied as well.

Short version: Unemployed since December beside small gigs and events

Cash balance: 800 in checking, 800 in savings

Credit Card Debt: $1400 (interest free for two more months)

Living for $100 rent with grandparents (trade off is extremely limited job market)

Made $4,000 last year on tax return

Parents not a factor

Did anyone else get denied and feel like they are judging on the wrong things? I could be completely wrong, but I feel like I am being punished for not paying off that debt, because if I did, I would have $200 to live on until I get employed. God forbid, I register for the test, CAS...

Enough of my pity party though.

Now I know I have to postpone my test until Dec and I am worried scholarship money won’t still be available.

Does anyone know of a good resource of where you can see how much scholarship money has been given out by schools in previous years by the months?

I'm taking the LSAT in Sept 2017. I work full time, and am considering taking a few days or a week off of work at some point between now and the test. When would folks advise would be best? I'd like to use the time to really focus on studying, take a few more PTs, etc. I am thinking maybe the first week of September. I want to do it early enough that I can still have some improvements from studying (meaning, I don't think taking the week right before the test is when I would see real gains). Any thoughts on timing are appreciated--thanks!

I still don't understand the concept of drilling, isn't it basically blind review of similar concepts?

So the common denominator between all 3 of these question types is..logic.

I have been through the curriculum multiple times. I know how to translate into logic. I have memorized the indicators. I understand existential quantifiers.

Why am i struggling so much with these?

I just wanted to see whats a somewhat reliable way of figuring out whether or not you will be accepted to a certain law school. I am interested in going to either USC or UCLA for law but I wanted to see how my GPA/LSAT would measure up. Anyone have some website or data source? Thanks.

I was curious if any one here knew anything about what Teach for America could do for a law school applicant? I want to practice law that involves children's rights, specifically be an attorney ad litem, so I think working with the children that Teach for America reaches would be great for my career as a lawyer. However, I was more curious what it could do for an application.

Hey everyone,

sorry if this questions has already been answered, but I was just wondering if the full prep test 81 will be available on 7sage for printing and with explanations for questions before the September test? I know the Logic game answers are up, but just wondering if the rest of the test will have answers up and if the whole test will be downloadable here?

I'm wondering if I have to buy the entire new set of tests that includes the 80s from an online source. I'd prefer not to because I have already bought a ton of the 70s as individual tests online, so don't need to buy a new book. It would be great for me if 81 was downloadable here.

let me know if you know!

So i have narrowed down my problems to MBT, and SA. Which tutor would you guys suggest for intensive stimulus breakdown and analysis into its logic

UPDATE: Submissions are now closed. Thanks to everyone who sent us their work. After Amy and Chris each pick an essay, we'll email all of you with their decision.

I'll post separately with details about the webinar, but we'll hold it on August 23 at 9 PM ET. Mark your calendars!

Hi everyone!

On August 23, 7Sage Editors Amy Bonnaffons (@amycbon) and Chris Schlegel (@cbschlegel) will do a live critique via webinar of two personal statements, and we need your help!

If you like the idea of a free critique and you're comfortable with sharing your story, send your personal statement to us! Amy and Chris will choose two essays in the coming week. As soon they choose, we'll stop accepting submissions, so the sooner you send in your essay, the better your chances.

Please follow these guidelines:

By submitting an essay, you agree to let us use it in a webinar and, possibly, in the admissions course. (We can wait until you start law school to use it in the admissions course).

I can't wait to see what you send!

Best,

David

how can i find an explanation to a lsat question if i dont know which test it was asked on all i have is the question

Hi! I am looking for a study buddy, ill be in the states from August to October. I am not sure if I will be retaking the LSAT on September or December 2017. I will be moving around from Sacramento, to LA, to NY, but ill be staying more in Sacramento.

At 2:00 of his explanation video of PT57.S3.Q18 (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-57-section-3-question-18/ ), J.Y. refers to "the Dramamine question."

I think "the Dramamine question" is PT4.S1.Q4 ("A survey was recently conducted among ferry passengers") but does anyone know if there is a video of his explanation of "the Dramamine question" in the CC of 7Sage?

Or is there another LR question about the effectiveness of treatment of seasickness?

Thank you in advance :)

So I submitted my transcripts a while back and also received an email confirming that they were processed. However, I am unable to view what my LSAC GPA is online. Any ideas?

Lessons now appear in a different order, my study schedule now shows that I haven't completed random lessons now assigned to last week but have completed ones assigned to future weeks...how should I address this moving forward? First go after the lessons from last week before moving forward?
