  • it's like taking a really, really long road trip and driving interstate at 75mph+ the whole way until suddenly you have to exit and drive 45mph and your foot is like, "what the hell, man?"...it just feels weird.
  • teamsoybeans for the win Also, did anyone else give the farmer a name in their essay? No? Just me? Yeah, by the time I got to the essay I was sooo done...

  • first - thank you for all of your responses over the past couple of weeks! I appreciate you taking the time to earnestly respond, really next - as far as the LSAT Trainer is concerned, today will be my first day actually using it. I just got it la…

  • I don't study several hours a day every day - one of the commenters was asking what kind of time I have available to study and I was responding accordingly. I don't actually study that much. I do study frequently but I recognize and respect my limi…
  • hi again back from a much needed weekend away with the hubs, well rested and ready to jump back in...though admittedly I actually found myself kinda scared to do BR on this test because I performed so miserably the first time around. here are the…
  • @10000019 said: Have you completed the drilling and exercises that were in the CC? I'd normally suggest focusing on PTs because the exam isn't far away, but you're getting enough wrong that I don't think chugging PTs will be beneficial. wh…
  • @10000019 said: Enter your answer choices into the analytics on 7sage. Then post the data you get from that. 2 months isn't that much time. I want to be able to give you specific advice. Also when you give that information, please share wha…
  • @10000019 said: How far off of your goals are you? What were your sectional scores? Are you willing to consider another test date if September doesn't go as planned? I didn't save my scores - I was worried if I did that I'd look at them and …
  • hi there! 44 yr old mom to three, wife to one here. my oldest is 25 and he's starting law school in St. Louis this fall, my middle is 23 and still lives at home while she finishes school, and my youngest is 10 and she's a full-on mama's girl - attac…
  • the only new thing I can add is to maybe try gardening. I've read that something happens when your hands are in dirt - maybe a connection with the earth, maybe the ability to mindlessly focus on something else, maybe just being outdoors - that will …
  • I started 7sage (my first and so far only course of study) in late November 2017. I studied probably about 10 hours/week until the end of February. For various personal reasons (family obligations, exams, papers, etc), I stopped studying until May. …
  • I have a similar concern - I hope it's ok to piggy back on your thread @hl_alarak I've taken two (three after this coming semester) classes in undergrad that are taught by our county's Public Defender (not an assistant PD, THE public defender). sh…
  • for me, yes. last week I was knee-deep in the LG section of the CC. I was plugging away and doing fairly well. after about a week and a half of 4-6 hours of studying every day, I started just doing horribly on LG and nothing was making sense anymor…
  • thanks for asking this - I'm finding that I'm making "dumb mistakes" in the LG section of the CC. prior to watching a video, I try to complete the game board and answer the questions on my own first so that I can pin point the flaw in my execution. …
  • congrats everyone! I didn't even know this was a thing, but glad that it is because so many of you have been a tremendous help to me and saying "thank you!" just never feels like it's enough.
  • @"lady macbeth" said: @cvaldez74 Wellbutrin is what I've been on! My doctor prescribed me the SSRI Paxil, he said that the wellbutrin will counteract some of the bad side effects and would balance the ssri. I also love wellbutrin! I've been ta…
  • I take the generic version of Wellbutrin for depression and I love it. SSRIs and I did not get along AT ALL. every one that I tried made me feel either completely devoid of emotion and zombie-like or constantly nauseated and exhausted. some of th…
  • congratulations!!!! awesome improvement!

  • @LCMama2017 said: I was using the sheet protectors for awhile when I was working on LG but after some time I realized that it really wasn't helpful for me. Yes, it helps save paper but now I print out the games. At some point you should use p…
  • thank you!!! as I'm going through the CC for LGs, I'm printing out the games and putting them in a binder inside page protectors for drilling (someone suggested this as an alternative to printing out multiple copies of each - great idea, IMO) - but …
  • following because I'm in the same exact spot and wondering the same thing...(so thanks for asking!)
  • Thurgood Marshall and Morris Dees ETA: even though I know they probably don't count, I love Matlock and Atticus Finch
  • thanks everyone! I haven't yet hit the point at which I'm taking PTs (still finishing up lessons) but this will be super helpful when I start taking them.

  • I'll be taking the July 2018 test as a first timer with the idea that I can retake in September if I'm not happy with my score. I'm a non-traditional student and don't have the flexibility to go to any law school I want - there are basically two op…
  • outstanding!!! I'm a huge fan of a solid work ethic - you're proof that it pays off. best of luck on test day!!!
