@This_is_Hard I typically looked for specific questions on the discussion board - not really within the curriculum. While I was in the curriculum I was still trying to wrap my head around everything and found comments of others less useful during th…

Just here to second this advice. Back when I took the test like 4 years ago I was eager to see people post questions. So I could test my understanding of it. Could I explain it? Was I too lost? - sometimes I didn’t even post the reply because it poi…

My personal statement was about quitting my cigarette addiction. While the comparison isn’t that strong, because what you’ve done is far more amazing than quitting smoking, there are some really impactful themes that this topic (in my opinion) can …

Don’t give up your passions! But your game time will significantly decrease during law school 😂 I’m such a hardcore nerd though that I HAVE to get gaming in somewhere during the week haha

Haha now it’s Valheim! And I’m a 3L just trying to graduate 😂 video games are trying to sabotage me! (Also insanely hyped for Diablo 2 and the rogue from 4!!)

Adding to both of the amazing scores above - don't neglect the wrong answer in your review. You can learn just as much from the wrong answer you picked as you can from the right answer. The wrong answer you picked was attractive for a reason; a wron…

I just want to add that while I agree with what everyone has said here - you need to make your own cost/benefit decisions. T-14 or bust is almost never the right mindset; instead the mindset should be something like "how much debt am I looking at? …

@jpoznan0587 said: @LSATcantwin and just think of how many people you are helping too !! Yeah , after I saw your karma points I realized you meant it more as a dig for yourself lol. did you take the exam yet? Yeah, I'm a 3L at Nor…

@jpoznan0587 said: why is posting considered obsessing ? I look at it as helping others while also helping myself? I meant it more as a dig at myself. I posted far too often 😂 Posting is one of the best ways to learn the test imo

If you obsess over the test and website it can be an embarrassing number for how often you posted 😬

@karko2525 said: @LSATcantwin btw would you mind sharing your stats here or via PM? NU is technically a reach for me so I am not expecting much, but still hoping to have a somewhat decent shot haha Yep no problem! LSAT - 171 cGPA - 2.8 ~ …

Question stem refers to a unique part of the question as a whole. The idea is to break the question into different parts: you have the passage/stimulus where you are being provided with the world and logic the question is relying on. Then the stem …

That last jump is the hardest to make. You're going from multiple questions being the difference between different scores to one question making the difference in scores. Trust yourself, and really hammer down on the questions you are missing, look…

I started not much different than you. After about a year and a half of studying (while working full time) I scored a 171! This test is learnable - it just takes some desire, some hardwork, and some stubbornness. After learning the core concepts be…

Man, I spammed this form like hell when I was studying - and I think 99.9% of the stuff I said was pretty dumb 😂 post whatever is on your mind! Everyone here is at least a little nuts (I mean, they're studying the LSAT) and it's a great place to v…

I think at a high level, your ability to see how different rules interact and play out when used in conjunction with each other is something that you do a lot in law school. For instance the Federal Rules for Civil Procedure, or the rules surroundin…

@karko2525 its a great school! Right on Lake Michigan so you get a great view from the library and some of the classrooms. The staff at the school is excellent and they do their best to listen to the student body and work with us. COVID sorta rippe…

Current NU 3L, highly recommend doing the interview. Also as @noonawoon said they allow you to record and do practice questions - it's worth doing! The questions you get will be nothing out of the ordinary. Things like: Why law? Name a time when …

LG. Do LG all day everyday. Lg's are so learnable you can get yourself to a point of consistent 0/-1. Then it's just a slow methodical process of hammering LR concepts home.

As someone in law school; I'd highly recommend you treat it as normally as possible. Law schools are desperately trying to return to "normal" right now for quite a few reasons. Even if next fall/spring are online, they will very likely return to in…

It's like the three levels of law school hell! 1L - Overburdened 2L - Purgatory 3L - Apathy I'm just kidding, it's not all that bad! Come talk to us, I promise I'll be less sullen during our chat!

@VerdantZephyr said: @LSATcantwin can you talk a little about your application process and strategy either here or in a PM? I am hoping for strong scholarship support but the word this year is that the number of 175+ LSAT scores on applicatio…

2.9gpa and 171 LSAT got me into Northwestern. Don't ever count yourself out. Your task is harder but not impossible. You need to show the schools that you are not your GPA!

There are quite a few vets that have gone through 7Sage (and are quite a few in law school!) I was an enlisted Marine and did my 4. I then finished my BA, studied for the LSAT for a year and a half or so, and I'm now going into my 3L year at Northwe…

@jegosi215 said: @LSATcantwin That's awesome. I've been reading the Economist for a couple weeks now, and it has helped me read more efficiently. Just out of curiosity, how were you with RC at the start? Was it your worst section? At the ver…
