  • Well, the short answer is it felt average; LR1 felt super easy, LR2 felt medium-hard, RC felt hard, LG felt medium. On the other hand, it's always important to remember the curve if a test is "easy", that doesn't typically translate into a better …
  • Err yeah, and as you pointed out, the LSAC website says it there clear as day. You answered your own question, mate
  • Hmm, I guess I'll disagree with TniA -- everything I've read and every conversation I've had points to a September test this year. Generally speaking, I would call that good news for anyone shooting for that test -- you should have your scores back …
  • Everyone is different. As a general rule I believe in the suggestions above, but you ought to do what works for you. Do you burn out easily? Or are you the sort who improves with familiarity? I'm one of those who can benefit from back-to-back PT an…
  • Jaguar, that's wonderful it's so inexpensive wherever it is you are (I assume Canada). Yes, it's that expensive here in the states. After COL, it's this expensive for almost all schools; before COL, many schools' tuition alone is this much or more. …
  • It just doesn't work out that way for so many. There are so many very disheartened dreamers out there who chased (and are still chasing it) without success. sweet, It isn't that I disagree with your fervor -- it's just that with law, the data just …
  • I'm not a downer on this. Live your dream -- just please be careful and make certain you are making a wise investment. Get that killer LSAT so that a scholarship can mitigate the risk, or so that you have the option to go to schools with very high j…
  • Ladies and gents, I just don't understand your logic :-/ law ISN'T just like the rest of the market! Name another profession that costs over 150k (sometimes MUCH more) for your education and has such a huge chance of leaving you without a job? GO t…

  • P.S. no one ever took adderal and suddenly jumped 25 points. Not. Ever.
  • Leave the Adderal out unless you are taking your regular, prescribed dose. Honestly mate, you ask "what happened".... That happened. HUGE chemical shifts that your body isn't used to are NEVER good for using your brain. It isn't magic.
  • Chloe, A couple of things. The advice above about NOT having the "February or bust" mindset is super important. You aren't scoring where you want; if you go into this test thinking "this is my only chance!", you will probably end up really disappoi…
  • +15 from first to best; +14 from first to my 5-test average.
  • And just because sometimes we all miss the obvious, double confirm that you are logged in :-)
  • The general consensus has been that over the past few years now, even those schools which claim to take an average are really only looking at the high number. This is primarily because it is the only score which they are required to report to USNews…
  • Time-wise, bubbling at the very end is much, much more efficient -- I highly recommend that. Regardless of where I am, I start bubbling when I have 1:30 remainding (less on LG because I find it's quicker to bubble). I wouldn't worry too much about …
  • Yep, agreed. All sections can be improved, but with dedicated drilling and following these (7sage's) methods, LG can get to near perfect pretty quickly.
  • Keep it up, guys lookin' good for February.
  • A much-favored method that I'm fond of is, when drilling complete sections, give yourself 40-45 minutes/section until that's comfortable, decrease time when you consistently have time left, until you hit 35. Blind review is great, but if you aren't…
  • I'll tell you this -- I know that if I don't do something, I'll have trouble sleeping. Not anxiety, just excitement. I'm going to go on a long run, or hit the gym extra hard or something -- I want my body to be so tired that I can fall asleep at 8…
  • Melatonin, Marryam -- it seems to be the thing most highly recommended. Try it once or twice before then though, to make sure you know how you react to it. I definitely hear you all on how life consuming this test is. Few nights ago I was trapped …
  • I'm ALL about making sure to max out your potential

  • I might add that is is precisely why it is SO important to absolutely kill the LSAT, and why 7sage is so valuable: scholarship money -- sometimes full rides -- can come from a halfway decent GPA and a great lsat -- and both are definitely necessary …
  • I will say this: anyone who is going to law school who hasn't done their research on the ACTUAL bar passage-required job placement of any and ALL of the schools they are considering attending is not taking law school -- and its utterly enormous mone…
  • Statistically, that is almost exactly the difficult range -- 12-20 are tougher by and large. I have a friend who swears by doing 1-12, 21-25/26, then coming back around for 13-20. I personally just prefer to race to 12-15 then slow waaay down
  • Best of luck everyone keep hitting it hard. If you're having even a moment of motivation difficulty, just remember that every hour that you study could literally pay you big bucks. Hit those PT's!
  • Great work! RC is arguably the hardest section. If you are hitting -2's on reading comp, you could potentially hit way higher even than your goal, friend. Get those logic games on lockdown and use 7sage to figure out what question types you've gotta…
  • What a bump! I think the idea is that the February test materials are also those which they use for such things as international tests and weather-rescheduled tests, both of which are different. The idea that if they were disclosed too, LSAC would…
  • I have nothing further to comment, except to note my excitement at there being another dinosaur comics fan here on 7sage.
  • Hell yeah :-) awesome jsumlin. And for serious -- even if they aren't interesting to read, the information they present are often super interesting to know :-)
