Thank you so much!! This is so helpful. One specific question I have - I've often heard that mental health issues are really a problem in law schools, especially top law schools. Is this accurate? I remember reading about one study at Yale Law - som…
This is so relevant to what I'm going through right now!! Trust me, more people than you think are struggling with balancing work/life/studying/etc. I can't even imagine how people with both kids and jobs are making it work...so yes, it's really com…
This is totally normal, especially during these uncertain times. I echo what everyone else said, and I also want to emphasize that it's really important not to carry over that "falling off the wagon" feeling to the next day. In other words, let's sa…
Does this mean you have less wiggle room to make errors, if there are just 3 sections? It makes sense that this would be the case...if there are fewer questions, 1 wrong question would cost you a lot more "points" than if there are more questions.
Oh and one more thing - worrying about "studying right" on the LSAT is a major issue. Most people worry, and with reason. Studying correctly for this exam is absolutely the key to doing well on it. But I've been doing this for a while, and at this p…
I would definitely start out with 7sage and go through the common curriculum. Start from there. A lot of the practice/drilling/PT-ing is built into the curriculum, so all of that will become clearer once you dive into the curriculum. I wouldn't worr…
This is a great discussion thread! I would also like to echo @"Young Scrappy and Hungry" 's question and ask if anyone has any tips on how to stay motivated during this time, how to prevent burnout, how to take effective breaks, etc. Disciplined stu…

Never got around to that webinar, haha. Maybe we could do a quarantine session and go over it? I made the slides and everything, so would be easy to do if there’s any interest.
Very interested!!!
Yes, although taking PTs again a and again may be helpful for some people, I found that I didn’t make much progress by religiously taking PTs week to week. The improvements truly came once I focused on 2 timed sections and BR every week. You cert…
It seems like you're in a really great place! I would definitely try to get your LG section consistently down to a between -0 and -2, since that's typically the section that's easiest for people to improve on. 7sage's CC really helped with improving…
Hi! I don't think anyone can definitively say if law school admissions will "care" or not because it depends on many factors (what ends up happening/what you do during those 2 years, what law schools you apply to, how well your job ties into your na…
I'm by no means an expert on this, but one thing I've noticed about LR question types is that the best approach is to have an intuitive/holistic understanding of what the question is asking you to do. I think a lot of people get caught up in the who…
Here's my list of games I've struggled with before (some are funky, some not so much, but I'm pretty good at games and all of these got me somehow):
Dec 1994 Clan, Feb 1997 Train, Oct 1993 Game 3 (dance), June 1991 Game 1 (Klosnik), June 1995 Game …
@"caffeine powered human" This alarm clock is a much cheaper alternative than the $200 one suggested above and it basically does the same thing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z53LKL6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think your priority should definitely be the LSAT. However, I don't think it's wise to spend more than a couple of months JUST studying for the LSAT. Imagine you're at a law school interview and they ask you, "What did you do during your gap year?…
@"Heart Shaped Box" Sounds like a great strategy! Whatever you end up doing, definitely give yourself a nice break, because you deserve it! I'd say basing your decision on acceptance outcome is really solid and you don't even have to worry about wri…
Congratulations on your incredible progress! I haven't read through all the comments, so maybe someone already said this, but this is my brutally honest opinion: with your high GPA, if you want to shoot for a top 5, for example, I'd keep going, espe…
Hi! This is a great question. I haven't been through the cycle yet, but I've done lots of research on law school admissions, spoken to a lot of admissions counselors, and talked to a lot of my friends who've gone through the process. From my underst…
@berathocam Thanks for that! I just graduated from a top 10 school with a 3.87 GPA unweighted (before factoring in A+s), so I'm shooting for a T14 law school. Right now, I'm at about 160-165, but would like to make a 15-20 point jump to mid-170s. BR…
Thanks so much for this!! Also, does anyone have any idea how many pieces of scrap paper we'll get? If we run out of space, can we ask for a second sheet of paper?
In terms of individual sections for practice, I see that pretty much all the preptests are available digitally, so can't we just click on the one we want to practice (let's say we want to practice LG from preptest 7) and go to the logic game section…
