Hi there, I commented on another discussion post that I think is relevant for your situation. In short, I think you could really benefit from implementing a skipping strategy. Check it out: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/36341/frustrated-…

Hi all, Always happy to see the 7Sage community remaining so vibrant and helpful. I took the test back in 2019, got my dream score, just graduated from Harvard, and have been tutoring for many years now. I faced the same issue back in my LSAT journ…

@gaylehaven3 said: @Mike_Ross Thank you for your post! I truly appreciated this. Do you have have any advice for students taking a gap year? And do you have any advice on how to stay focus while studying in a busy environment and/or while work…

Probably want to stop PTing for now and focus on timed section drills instead! I always think of PTs as game day. Think about it: do swimmers get better by swimming races everyday? No, they work on specific parts of the race like diving, strokes, t…

No problem! Best of luck and feel free to reach out or pm me more more targeted advice!

Hi there, a lot of students going through LSAT prep encounter this at some point, myself included! Forgive me if you've already seen some of my comments on other posts (only b/c it's so common so take heart!) but the way to address this comes down …

Yay!!! Congrats on your first of many acceptances! Always rooting for you! Thanks for the shoutout

Hi there, I see this all the time in tutoring. If you're going -8 on what I assume are timed sections, it's likely that there is a lot of room for improvement with (1) your approach to each question; and (2) your skipping strategy. Much like others…

Hi @selah403, A lot of great advice above already but let me just add--I'm not sure why there is such a hurry to take PTs without first consistently seeing results in timed sections. If you've just finished learning the Core Curriculum lessons, it …

Hi there, I posted a response in another thread that pretty much outlines 3 steps to take to consistently break plateaus: (1) Standardized LR question-specific strategies; (2) Skipping Strategies; and (3) Wrong Answer Choice journals. I'll just add…

Hey there--adding some thoughts here from the POV of someone who tutors LSAT and have been at this spot at one point: 1) A lot of this comes down from having standardized LR-question-specific strategies that you execute every single time. This take…

@bananabo said: Thank you so much for posting this! I had a question about grades: if you are at a T-14 school, do firms have different GPA cut-offs depending in which school you go to (i.e. Harvard vs. Georgetown)? Hey there, good question.…

@"Glutton for the LSAT" said: Great post! I'd love to read about any other "academic pitfalls" you think incoming law students should avoid. I think the emphasis that everyone in law school is just as confused as you are, especially when analy…

@mom_phd_ said: Hey! Thanks so much for this. So, when you're deciding where to apply to law school, do you recommend picking schools where you'll likely live and work in afterwards? For example, I live in the Bay Area and plan to work here in…

Oh dear! Thanks for the bump @canihazJD ! I've got a few slots open at the moment now that finals is over, if anyone is still looking for a tutor, particularly for LR & RC. Reach out anytime!

Hey there, sorry to hear about your tax day troubles. I think the question you need to ask yourself is whether your application is strong enough to overcome the 168 score for HLS. Like others have mentioned above, people who get in below medians ten…

Hey! I get so many questions about this and I think it's important to add some perspective, at least to resist the urge to"take a PT every week". Firstly, if you are still in the CC, focus on completing it first. The goal at this stage should be to…
