  • I don't necessarily think many subjects are too taboo as long as you make sure to write more about how you handled it rather than simply dwelling on the event and/or how you were changed. You need to explain what you did and are doing to handle it. …
  • My reddit username is BoJackLSAT (™). Every time I see @chaplin___ post I sing "Back in the '90s, I was in a very famous TV show..." to myself. That's affirmation enough for me.
  • @jaskoajanovic you should have access to law hub because you paid the $99 to sign up for it when you joined 7sage. Just Google it. I preferred to do my PT on 7sage because I liked the platform more, but law hub gives you an exact representation of t…
  • @SufficientCondition I love the spreadsheet idea. I have my own ridiculously complex version that compares my schools, the costs/benefits, and so on. It's a lifesaver as responses are rolling in (albeit slowly). As far as the business of rankings g…
  • Not unless you were convicted of a misdemeanor/felony or the ticket was a criminal offense. I saw one that stated "traffic ticket over $200" - so if they're asking something like that, make sure you are being truthful, otherwise you should be fine.
  • I took it twice. I wasn't sure if I would be ready the first time and I definitely wasn't. Two months later, I was more prepared and upped my score by 10 points. I've just now started getting responses from my applications and I can honestly say tha…
  • The PowerScore Podcast released an episode covering all of this a few days ago. I'll be honest with you, it wasn't exactly a pick-me-up, but they do provide a lot of useful information on the matter. Due to my non-traditional status and personal ci…
  • I had the same issue for a long time as well. What it all came down to was realizing that I had a solid grasp on the exam, but there were some question types/areas that I had yet to master. When I got a PT that played to my strengths, my scores were…
  • Right on the money for me too. My recent PT average is 167.6 (per 7Sage) and I got a 168. Can't complain. I got the bizarre LG section and despite feeling like I probably did fairly well on it, it did rattle me a little. Unfortunately I think I migh…
  • I don't personally have any experience with this, but I have seen multiple post on various LSAT forums that detail stories of people who were able to improve their waitlist standing (and/or scholarship offers) by increasing their scores by even a po…
  • This post totally made my day. I opened this expecting to find a story about someone getting a full ride to Yale or something. Literally laughed out loud.
  • @ishaalife16 My apologies, I didn't see your comment earlier. I'm very cautious about disclosing any information as to test specifics, but I believe it is safe to say that the current LSATs have begun to incorporate some LG that require skills from …
  • @setty55163 I had that same RC. It wasn't my favorite, but it definitely wasn't the worst I've ever had. I feel pretty good about it. Per the Powerscore podcast, having one section in common doesn't necessarily mean we had the same test overall, bu…
  • I took it in November and I recall getting a 1 minute break between sections. You can choose to start early or you can let it run down to zero then start automatically. I used the full minute to close my eyes and refocus.
  • Yes, they will email you. Others have also suggested using the "forgot password" function to get your information as well. Good luck.
  • @jbromero I am just drilling logic games every day and drilling with full LR and full RC and I plan on taking 3 full PT. One on each Saturday and one on Tues/Weds before the test. There aren't many things I can do in 2 weeks that will help more than…
  • @TheMommaBear I only ever map out the parallel reasoning/flaw questions and occasionally I map out a MBT, but otherwise, no. I find mapping tends to waste time and confuse me.
  • I am in this exact same boat. Consistently at a 169ish. I just want to break through to a 170 . For me, it's LR that's the issue. I recently had a PT that was -0 LG, -0 RC, -7 LR. I wish I had some advice for you. That said, I think you're smart to …
  • Going to add to this discussion that the commentary about having the skills but making procedural errors is spot on. My last 5 PTs have been consistently 169 or 170. I would never, ever go as far as to say it is "easy." I always have to put my full …
  • I struggled with these types of games for months before finally mastering them (I'm excellent at them now), so I completely understand the frustration. A few questions for you- are you doing them timed? What happens when you do them untimed? I ask …
  • @StephCurryWithTheShot and @dmu3tg This sounds so incredibly silly, but the tip was to treat a flaw question like a weakening question (which I am very good at), then the correct answer will be the one that most closely describes how you would weak…
  • Just saw this question and wanted to throw in some additional advice. One thing that really helped me with LR was simply reading all of the 7sage user comments on every last question I got wrong (and the questions I got right, but didn't really gras…
  • I'm 42 and planning on going to law school this fall. You go when the time is best for you. I can't even remember being 27. As far as admissions go, it depends. Generally speaking, an April LSAT would be too late to apply to most traditional schoo…
  • That's amazing! Thanks so much for sharing. I took twenty years to finish the last semester of undergrad. How crazy is that? I was a handful of classes shy of graduating and it took me TWENTY years to get around to it. This post makes me feel so hop…
  • For me, the LR in the 80's was a real challenge. I wouldn't say it's technically a lot more difficult, but it takes on some differences in appearances and the verbiage is bulkier/more convoluted. What I found to be most helpful was to print out a fe…
  • Oh and one more thing- don't give yourself too much time on PT/drills either. As I'm sure you know, with ADHD, there's a "sweet spot" with timing. If you give yourself too much time on sections, you may find yourself fighting hyperfocus (which is a …
  • I feel your pain. I have been a chronic under-performer my whole life due to undiagnosed ADHD and I underperformed on my first LSAT. That said, I'm prepared to retake it in February and am now feeling pretty confident, having improved my average sco…
  • @ddeng888 Thanks- I've only had about 10 seconds to look at the data, so I'll have to look more carefully when I have time to actually consider it. On a personal level, I struggle a lot with the home test setup, the distractions, and the lack of fo…
  • I would argue that it's not. Hear me out- while the test is shorter and less physically demanding up front, the questions are worth more and the value of each is higher, thus the emotional demand is higher, which in turns makes the exam just as phys…
  • Me! I have a 15 year old daughter. I'm actually at work right now. Clearly, this company is lucky to have me. @JDream2020 - Props for taking the LSAT at 31 weeks. I can't imagine trying to get through logic games with all that kicking and poking! M…
