The above paper takes the following stance: there are two reasons to check "prefer not to say" on an application. The first may strictly be a function of …
with flex I've been doing one a day and reviewing it without issue; no burnout or score dropoff. 1h:45m of cognitive effort even if intense shouldn't result in a degree of mental strain that 20 hours of rest/recovery cannot alleviate.
All spaces have been taken 🙌
Thank you 7Sagers for the overwhelming positive response!

Great question!
We ran numbers on a large sample actual student PrepTests. We pretended they did Flex by (A) skipping first LR section or (B) skipping second LR section, applied our Flex Score Convertor, and looked a…
Sorry if it's already been asked, but would be great to get some input from 7sage admins on how you guys selected which section to omit? I'm not expecting sophisticated methodology; not sure one would even be possible. I have found however that the …

I switched to flex simulation the other day because, from what I've heard, we'll probably be taking a flex. Seems like more representative practice for the real thing. I can't imagine extra LR training would hurt, but if you're…
holy moly...the most astounding thing in this (at least to me) is -0 on your diagnostic for logic games. Without having been familiar with the methodologies you must either have an exceptionally high aptitude for drawing inferences, or insanely fast…

I switched over to flex- it's made me de-emphasize logical reasoning and re-up my logic games prep.
the removal of one LR section shouldn't justify de-emphasizing that in your prep. Your accuracy on LR (or lack of) carries th…
LSAT matters way more; it's a better test of aptitude in and out of law school and will pretty much override your GRE score.
Also low-mid 170s is more like 99th+ percentile - fantastic bloody work! ;-)
I'm taking August but would really like to join as well. My last couple PT's have been 170 but have been trying really hard to break above that into mid 170s; am focusing on specific weaknesses and it would be awesome if someone in the group is stro…
I struggled with this too; really, it's the same way you would build physical endurance. You have to go a little further than your comfortable limit each time. If you can't add an entire section at once without completely losing focus, try adding 10…
I've also been told by admissions counselors 2 pages is perfectly fine, especially if you're 5+ years out of school and have held a few positions after graduation in addition to internships during college.
Also as a hiring manager, I prefer more de…
I would absolutely mention the 30 hours/week of employment commitments - schools definitely consider that sort of thing heavily and a lot of applications actually have a portion asking specifically how many hours/week you had to work during school.

Mark-up isn't precisely revenue, it's really margin. If you're buying widgets for $5 and selling them for $7, your markup is $2. Per widget your cost is $5, and your revenue is $7
Based on that choice D appears to be correct - the key word here is …
I noticed the same thing happened to me. They changed a couple things on the newer tests - they started mixing up the games a bit more adding unusual game types, and also distributed the difficulty of LR questions a bit more so they don't all show u…
you're looking at a 3 question improvement to get a 170. It's certainly possible depending on where you're missing points - If you have room for improvement in LG for instance it may be attainable through additional practice.
There are no guarante…

Was prompted by this article which I found to be pretty damn inspiring - https:…

Two questions:
1)Everyone taking the LSAT in August will be automatically registered for LSAT flex? I ask because when I registered for the LSAT August date the option only gave me a "Houston Test Center" option.
2) …
Incredible improvement - congratulations!! I've just decided to bite the bullet and retake after an unsuccessful application cycle. I have a 169/3.4. The difference between a 169 and a 170, I figure, is worth the pain.
This was my third attempt and I got the exact same score as July, which was unfortunately about 3 points below my PT average. Oddly though it feels okay, if anything a validation that I performed at my test-day potential. Both attempts went optimall…

I'm no expert - but it seems if it was an experience that shaped you in a significant way, and specifically in a way that relates to your legal aspirations, then it is relevant and there's nothing wrong with sharing the significance of that event.

I'll be 30! or 31? Depends on how this cycle plays out lol. Having a career before you go isn't the worst thing. I feel like it would be harder to make the jump into being "something else" after you've specialized as a lawyer than to it would be to …

I think it would be okay to go semi intense on LG today and tomorrow, but only if you really back off on Wednesday. I wouldn’t take any more PTs at this point.
