@ColinTurner610 said: Thank you so much for the response Castillo! I started really studying in November as well and am planning for an April take. Can you give me an idea of your study schedule? I ask because sometimes I get stuck on a sectio…

@Eugene said: So I didn't purchase a score preview for the August test. I want to purchase it now if its still possible, but I cannot find where on LSAC the option to purchase it is. Does anyone know if I can still buy the score preview, and …

I think it looks like a good plan. I might suggest doing some timed sections to get acclimated and inured to the timing pressure that's inherent in the test. Don't be dogmatic with your studying and be willing to try out different things!

@walt2021 said: I feel that I can only spend 2 hours on CC materials per day, though I do have more time to work on it. I just feel that after 2 hours of CC learning, I can't really concentrate on it anymore.... And it is 95 hours in tota…

@seanthelsat said: I have a 3.48 GPA. In college I was a premed major before switching to a BS in Sport Management. The worst grades that tanks my GPA are two classes I took as a premed major. With that being said my dream school would be NYU …

I personally found that doing real reading comp passages was most helpful. There is nothing better than practicing with the real thing, and luckily there are so many tests that it's highly unlikely you'll run out anytime soon.

@"Positively LSAT Street" said: @Alex how often do I have to revisit the CC? Since I’ve done it once.. What I did was use the analytics to guide me. I would return to the lessons and review and drill whatever was giving me trouble. How often…

@"Pride Only Hurts" said: How early should we start emailing schools about being considered for a fee waiver? Would love to apply broadly but there's no way I can afford it. Are you eligible for fee waivers from LSAC? I was able to secure 4…

Don't sweat it. Your diagnostic score tells you absolutely nothing about where you have the potential to ultimately score. Yes, you have a shot by September! My advice is that you should use 7Sage and follow the core curriculum and that you should …

That’s really amazing! Congrats @Hamaseh_S !

@"Gee-dawg" said: Anyone else have no life and is about to lose all friends because of LSAT? haha I am curious how others balance studying and personal life? When I studied I never had a ton of of time for social stuff. What I did do was…

I haven’t researched the schools to know enough to help you make an informed decision, but if the outcomes are the same and you’d be okay with working in TX, I don’t think you can go wrong taking the money. Plus, being closer to family and having so…

@tams2018 said: The one thing in common with LR: arguments. Are you correctly isolating them? Find the argument FIRST before you seek assumptions, strengthen, weaken, etc. @"Beast Mode" said: Reviewing your fundamentals by going o…

Like most LSAT answers, it depends... Experiment and keep data points to figure out what a sweet spot for you will be. I found that I did better the more I warmed up. I’m sure there would have been a point of diminishing returns, but I never pushe…

I’ve learned there is no best way... try it different things and do what works for you. It’s also going to depend on your personal life and schedule and how much energy and time you have to dedicate to your prep. I didn’t have a ton and instead stu…

Welcome! I tweaked it. I would constantly change the date to reflect my progress and anticipated test date. If you can pull of 20 hours a week, 5 months seems like a reasonable goal to shoot for depending on your diagnostic score and ultimate end …

I wish I would have known how important the most basic fundamentals are to your success. There’s really not a whole lot of advanced knowledge and strategies required to do well. The most important thing is having a strong understanding of the fundam…

Congrats on completing your first run through the CC! There’s a fantastic webinar titled “Post Core Curriculum Study Strategies” that I recommend checking out. It will give you a good outline of how to proceed. It’s under Course —> Resources —&…

What do you mean when you say “good” school? Like a T14? Yes. You’ll be a super splitter, but with a high enough LSAT >75th%tile you’ll have at least a shot at some great schools. Apply early and broadly because splitter cycles are highly unpredi…

This won’t be any issue. You’ll graduate on time and your GPA is strong. Not sure if an addendum is needed, so I’ll defer to the experts on that. You have nothing to worry about. Congrats on the baby & stellar GPA!

@"baret.amanda" said: I just started 7sage so I'm still getting familiar with the website. I've seen several comments that people are doing time sections and I think I would rather do that as well in addition to doing weekly practice test. But…

I started by fool proofing the games in the CC modules and problem sets. I completed the CC before I began FP’ing the bundle because I wanted to have a solid foundation first.

Congrats! That’s a huge improvement, and you should be both happy and proud. Re: redoing the CC. If time was not a factor I would recommend everyone redo the CC. But, I think if you can score a 167, your time is likely better spent targeting and wo…

Yes! I think everyone should get a tutor. 7Sage has a list of some really excellent tutors! I found nothing to be as beneficial as my tutor during my prep. The course and books can teach you all the strategies, but having the help of an actual per…
