I agree that saying something specific that you admire about her work might be more advisable. The firm she works (worked?) for was founded by Geoffrey Robertson, who has written loads of great stuff on humans rights and international criminal law. …
I'd be shocked if it wasn't different. LSAC uses a different test for those who are Sabbath observers and for those taking in Europe, Asia, etc. In the past when they've had to push test dates at certain sites (due to extreme weather, etc.) they've …
This is burnout. Relax, give your brain a breather. I had a similar situation happen with a PT a week ago and I've been keeping it low-key since then. Now is the time to concentrate on your mental + physical health -- no matter what, don't try to "w…
Can't help on the refund front but if you are the type who learns better in the classroom, I definitely recommend joining the blind review groups! It's a more interactive way to supplement the 7sage curriculum. But all the best to you in your prep -…
Hi Danny, I've been on and off for a year and mostly full time for the past few months. It took me at least 6 months to be comfortably in the 170s and I've postponed the test twice.
The LSAT is a very learnable test, but everyone has to go at thei…
For those of you on the call who discussed principle questions ( @twssmith @bswise2 @dml277 @"Not Ralph Nader" etc) -- I put up my notes in the Study Guides/Cheat sheets area.
LG did not come naturally to me at all. Like you, I could usually only get through 2-3 games per section. It took a few months, and then it just seemed to "click." I spent 2-3 weeks just doing individual games and full sections. I made copies of all…
What's your average score breakdown on LG? In my own prep, the most points gains came from a very intense period of drilling LG over and over and over again. If you haven't foolproofed games 1-35 yet, doing so is likely to help your LG average and, …
I do a banana in a bowl of oatmeal for the carbs/glucose and then eat a boiled egg so I can get some protein. I carry a bag of almonds with me to munch on in case I get hungry before starting the test. For break, I make a kale/avocado/boiled egg pro…
1) Congrats!
2) Yeah, ETA is definitely employment (ridiculously fun employment, but still). I listed Fulbright under work experience on my resume and plan to list it under employment for LSAC apps.
I don't think there's one single way to go about the last month, but here's some general suggestions:
1) Analyze weaknesses. The earlier, the better. Look at your analytics and see where you can improve, and go back to the core curriculum to reinfor…
I had timing issues for a very, very long time. The thing that helped the most? Repetition. While there is definitely the risk of "memorizing" answers, full PT retakes are incredibly useful for a few reasons:
First, they help you become more famili…
@twssmith I remember how welcome you made me feel on my first BR call back in June -- I could've easily remained a longtime lurker if not for your warmth and encouragement over the past few months. As a testament to what @"Accounts Playable" says ab…
@twssmith I'm so sorry to hear that your score isn't where you wanted it to be -- you've been a tremendous help to me and countless others on 7sage. You have worked so hard to get this far and while that in itself is something to be proud of, I have…
@stepharizona haha, it was definitely one of those "lsac destroys my life yet again" moments. But, I feel as though Hermione Granger would approve, so at least I have that. *50 points for gryffindor*
I was lucky enough to see Cursed Child in London during previews, and oh man did it make me nostalgic. The technical aspects of the show are truly magical and the Ron/Hermione/Harry actors are fantastic. Also, the day I went to see the play I sat ne…
I'm not sure what you mean by a GPA of 3.5 equalling an A- (at many universities cumulative GPAs are converted to an honors ranking, I.e. Magma cum laude, rather than an overall letter grade). However, if you mean that an A- grade at your university…
Ahh didn't know that about oakwood... I actually thought there might be fewer people there than Dahlonega. Don't know if you plan to take in December but if so I would consider reporting the timing issues to LSAC.... Missing a potential total of 5 m…
Do you BR the test on your own before the call starts? If not, I would definitely recommend doing that. I make a word document and for each question I circled I find the premise and conclusion of the argument and type up a detailed analysis of each …
@twssmith When I was working on my circle game skills I came across a powerscore blog that suggested there was a circle game on a February undisclosed test a few years back (http://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/the-tenth-circle-of-lsat-hell-tiered-circul…
