I think @nathan001 does make a good observation that the LSAC's own statistics show a flimsy relationship between LSAT success and law school grades. If you read the website, you might also find it amusing that they actually claim a .36 to .48 media…

Sorry to hear about this - I would be frustrated too. You can go ahead and file the complaint, but don't expect anything more than LSAC giving you the option to cancel your test score.

If you use a PT now, then you are wasting a fresh PT for later.

The LR Bible isn't the worst item out there, so it's not a total waste. I would avoid the LG Bible and suggest subscribing to the 7Sage program for that. The LG Bible spends too much time classifying questions and offers unwieldy (i.e. time consumin…

It wasn't gum or the LSAT, but I recall getting very annoyed with someone who brought a sandwich into a final exam and chewing so loudly that it made me want to flip a table.

I'm still holding out that it might go on sale today for the Amazon Prime event, but I doubt it. Regardless, I'll be buying it at the end of the day.

I have completed the Powerscore LR Bible, and I also prefer reading from books than watching videos generally. That said, I find 7Sage better. I don't think you'll miss anything from the Bible that isn't covered by 7Sage, and I find JY's explanation…

I also do a logic game each morning. Logic games is the section where you can see mad gainz while RC might be harder to see dramatic improvement. Just pick a day of the week dedicated to logic games because it's worth it.

I'm really glad you guys set up the new problem sets with a video option. This is very convenient! Thanks!

I initially used the Powerscore LG Bible based on a recommendation from a colleague. It is definitely better than some other alternatives I've tried, such as Kaplan. However, 7Sage is much better for LG. 7Sage is much more straightforward and effi…

@shermankrs I know you stated that waking up early isn't something you want to do, but I recommend you make yourself do it. As a full time worker who also trains 5-6 days for martial arts and conditioning, early mornings is the only time I have th…

Everyone else has covered all the good stuff, so I'll just leave you with this: whatever study tool you plan on using, start early. Don't wait for three months before the LSAT. Many of us need to study at least a year before taking the test.

The price for 7Sage is already the best for the instructional value we get. I already purchased pretty much all the LSAC books with the prep tests before discovering 7Sage. Don't regret it or feel "cheated" one bit. LSAC's new policy doesn't really…

I've subscribed to the Economist on the same deal. RC is my strongest section, but I figured anything that will improve me by even a little is worth it. The Economist is an excellent news magazine even if you don't believe in liberal economics (whi…

Obviously, I can only speculate from a generalized point of view. Student loans are handled differently depending on where you live. Previous student loans from your undergrad can impact the amount of future loans depending on your source. Governme…

I believe in a tough love style of motivation when I train, so CT Fletcher is my favourite, and this video is my favourite. This video, especially after 1:35, is also relevant to motivate us when people, be they family or friends, don't get the hard…

This video has gotten me quite pumped about law school!

@jayswims When I was a poor undergraduate, I was very much into "ghetto fitness." But disregarding money, it's actually an amazing way to cramp exercise into a busy schedule because you can train anywhere, anytime. Calisthenics (body weight exerci…

LSATisland and jayswims beat me to it. You only started the LG section. Trust me - this stuff is really foreign to a lot of people. It will take time. The Fool-Proof Guide works wonders. And do put in the time to learn and practice, because if you c…

I always recommend exercise, and whaley.jasmine's advice is great. Exercise doesn't have to be working out at the gym - find something you are interested in and will have fun with. You'll more like stick with something that's fun. I would point out…

This week has been like LSAT prep Black Friday at 7Sage...without the trampling!

I just bought the bundle - thanks for this awesome bargain!

Update: Getting up to study early is indeed useful. I do feel I absorb more info than trying to study after working a shift. In fact, I don't even bother with studying after a shift because I'm too mentally drained. The key, however, is going to b…

I agree - even with the paid material, it's substantially cheaper yet of very high quality. I really don't see how I could've paid for many of the other courses out there.

I'm just curious, is it not standard LSAC procedure to have a giant display of a 35 minute countdown timer? When I wrote it on my first attempt, they had one displayed on screen at the front of the lecture hall. I guess that might depend on the faci…
-
I think this is achievable given the improvements you've been experiencing and all the efforts you've been putting in. You are already 2 points away from 160, so it's looking pretty optimistic to reach your goal. If you are worried about hitting 16…

I'm bumping this old thread since I'm in the same boat and would love to hear what other tips are out there. I work full time in a hospital, so it can be a physically and mentally demanding job. The greatest challenge for me is coming home from the…

It takes courage to share this experience and insight with others. Thank-you.

By the way, don't underestimate yourselves. A few of you here feel having English as a second language is holding you back. Honestly, from what I'm reading, you guys/gals have a pretty strong command of English. And trust me, I was a college teachin…

@harrismegan The fact you're working on the PT and the fact you're here on the forums sharing experiences shows you care and have the will to get out of this rut! Take a break to unwind your mind now, and keep at it once you've freshened up.
