@djkrd92 I know you already registered, but for others who have not: I suggest testing at a law school if at all possible. You'll be just about guaranteed a wide desk area to spread out which is really important during games and RC. I tested at A…

I also bought my watch from 35minutes (I did the 4x8.5 with 3 red at the end). I used it every day several times a day for nearly 8 months. No problems. I loved it. Worked like a champ on test day too. For those of you who are nervous about the …

@"Nilesh S" You da real MVP! Love the 7Sagers here, part of the reason I keep coming back even though I've already taken the test. The takers before me helped me so much after their test by posting on the boards that I feel like paying it forwar…

@alexandergreene93 I studied for about 10 months ( I work full time, so needed a little longer to reach my goal score). I started in a similar score range as your diagnostic and reached your goal range after hovering in the high 160s for a few mont…

Wow, you all are super organized. I literally just stacked it all up as I went along. I have a stack of paper about 16 inches tall of worksheets, explanations, problem sets, games, and PTs. I don't feel I missed anything for lack of organization,…

Also, yes, you can see your calculated "universal" GPA in your transcript report once they've received and analyzed all your transcripts.

Applications typically "open" the first day they're available via LSAC online. Typically This is either August 1, August 15, or September 1, depending on the school.

After the LSAT I dropped into the essays. Now that I'm done with that stuff...I'm trying to work off the weight I gained over the last year while studying. ...and I still do logic games....and sometimes a bit of LR. Can't shake it.

@BrittanyB I was asked to interview at WUSTL. The opening question was Tell us a bit about yourself, followed by Why Law? and then Why WUSTL? I asked about the area around WUSTL, how it would be without a car, what summer spots might be available…

I'm leaning in this direction. With so much emphasis placed on 1L finals, I'm interested in learning about the testing style and how to study efficiently. A close friend said the format caught him off guard and hurt his scores which are used durin…

I'm with @jdawg and @ddakjiking - game theory would suggest leaving the shortest passages (judged by # of questions) for last and tackling the longer passages (by # of questions) up front. My personal strategy was to go in order for the first two p…

Wow, Nilesh! Congrats on Georgetown. You'll love it in DC, great town.

You'll also be spending less time on this as you improve. Certain questions won't be worth your time because they'll be super easy for you. I was spending way longer than 90 minutes BRing when I started and more like 45 minutes toward the end. Yo…

I have to say that scoring in the 170 range seems to be a golden ticket this cycle as long as your GPA is reasonably good (3.5+). If you put in 100 hour weeks now, you could end up with really BIG scholarships when you apply. It's worth putting in…

Aw shucks! You guys rock Really excited to share my results at the end of my cycle in April. Early indications are really strong and I know I couldn't have done it without 7Sage lessons and these forums.

So JY's method is more from memory, so you don't have to make those marks. Some people report having tons of time left over at the end of RC (I'm not one of them!) so marking wouldn't matter for them. But for some of us, marking can take up a lot …

Might be worth pushing to June or later if you don't feel prepared. Never take the test if you feel you are not ready. If it's nerves, then no biggie, happens to us all. If it's fundamentals, then it may be worth reconsidering. Did you do ok on …

My Why X? addenda were nearly 2 pages. I think if you're worried about it, try keeping it to 1.25 or 1.5 pages as a compromise. Just remember to keep it double spaced, 12 point font, 1 inch margin. If you're 2 pages single spaced or with smaller …

@Roy - They do, but they're part of the paid service. Only the games are available for free.

@AllisonM Holy cow...I didn't even think about a backup. I had one and it worked fine, but wow...thinking back, I guess I was lucky. I used that watch for 10 months before the test and never changed the battery. Great idea!

So, sub/unsub direct loans are capped at 20,500 a year. Grad Plus loans are capped at the budget created by your school for full cost of attendance minus any outside funding you receive and minus any scholarships. The smaller cap has about 6% inte…

I did 3 hours a day but didn't really allocate that time in any specific way. Whatever I was struggling with is where I put my time. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. I do think you'll be fine up front doing this, but when you start your PTs, be fl…

If you're going to do this, do it right. 7Sage and at least 6 months of serious prep, 9 months if you can wait that long. I did the highest end package and didn't regret it. A few hundred bucks here could save you a quarter million later. Also, …

Well first off...congrats! Always nice to see the fruits of your labor. Also, if you're at 161 aiming for 168, all you need to do is tighten up your LR to about -2 or -3 each and you're there. Even without RC. So this goal of yours is achievable…

I studied for a long time too, while working full-time. To stay motivated, I lived the LSAT. I studied all the time and when I wasn't studying, I was on this discussion board reading about other folks' successes. When I wasn't doing that, I was t…

Sign up for the test at a law school. Most ABA schools use the wrap around tables that span the whole classroom width in tiers. If you get one of these tables, left/right won't make a difference. Avoid places that use desk chairs. They shouldn't…

@hmccabe You're fine. Make sure you keep you GPA as high as possible while in UG. Next to the LSAT this is the biggest number they care about and it's impossible to change when you're done. The LSAT can be retaken but you can't time travel to im…

Like @combat, I diagrammed for MBT questions but also for PF and PR. I didn't do it for anything else on a first look. If I had to skip it to come back at the end (if I had time) I might use it if I thought it would help. Instead of diagramming e…
