Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who responded. I struggled with posting this thread initially because there are so many sources out there originally and I'm just one of the thousands of students going through the same process, but all of…
@Bamboosprout Thank you for the encouraging comment! I'll definitely be looking up other threads for similar advice. I just find it crazy when I think I can spend an entire day wisely and then I look up and the sun is already going down and I feel l…
@AshleighK
That's great to hear! I am just worried that my brain will become conditioned into being able to concentrate only when I am listening to music and I don't want that happening on test day or anything. I enjoy listening to soundtracks prim…
On chronology: "Think about it this way. You know, every day, around 5 am. I go up to the roof and I do this really elaborate sun dance and in the middle of this dance, I actually sacrifice a chicken. And this is all true."
I couldn't stop laughing…
@LivingThatLSATdream Hey, thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I am graduating this quarter so I don't think I can raise my GPA anymore. Had I known that my cGPA would be this bad, I definitely would have taken more "GPA booster" classes. I have so…
160+ is very doable! I see that you have the Ultimate course so definitely takes notes and pay attention to the Core Curriculum. If you put those concepts into practice, 160+ is extremely achievable.
I wouldn't start taking timed tests until you ha…
I don’t see why not. You’ll be spending around the same amount of money for three books and they will all be teaching you how to tackle the three sections of the LSAT. Like I mentioned earlier, feel free to give the trial a shot first and then upgra…
Hey! So I was (am) in your situation. My diagnostic was also around the mid-150s. What I would consider when deciding which prep works for you is how you personally study. I own a few prep books myself and I've found it difficult to stay concentrate…
I will be taking the LSAT slightly earlier than that, but if I don't do so well, I will be considering the January one as well. Please count me in if you're looking to setup a BR group. I'd love to contribute!
I'm not too sure about this. Of course, applying for jobs is different than applying to law school, but my resume has just enough room for my experiences and my university. The Admissions Committee will be seeing all your transcripts nevertheless. B…
No need to be frustrated or worried, you still have plenty of time to improve!
I don't know which course you signed up for or anything, but it is important to note that everyone studies differently. It could be that live courses aren't for you (the…
Hello! While I do not have a baby, I definitely know what it's like to have a full schedule with limited time for studying. I currently work two jobs on top of full time classes, so most times, I'm up at 7 AM and I don't get home until 7 PM and on c…
Regret: Not begin studying for the LSAT earlier (and not finding 7Sage earlier too).
I am living and breathing the LSAT. The first thing I look forward to when I wake up is studying the LSAT. The last thing I before I go to bed is the LSAT. It hold…

If it is as easy as people say it is, they'll probably just make the GRE harder.
I think the GRE is labeled as "easy" primarily because we're comparing it to the LSAT. It's a test of regurgitating what you know (like pretty muc…

Completely agree -- I'm also one of those people hoping to offset my comparatively low GPA with a high LSAT score. I didn't make the best decisions my freshman year of university, and while I learned from them and got …

As a splitter slowly inching to my target shiney LSAT score, this is frustrating. Logically I know schools are not going to dump the LSAT completely, but why does this change have to happen the year I plan to apply???? Gr…
No idea. But I really hope this does not shift Law School focuses onto GPA completely. I will be extremely sad as someone relying heavily on the LSAT to stand a chance for top schools.
When I need to do some intense studying, I usually listen to the sound of rain. If not, I am a huge fan of soundtracks in general. Everything from films, games, and TV shows. They're normally designed for background/ambiance settings and I have alwa…

I would memorize the valid/invalid argument forms on flashcards. Or flashcards on premise indicators, causal indicators, conclusion indicators etc. You can also write out argument forms several times. I also would begi…
Not a 1L, but honestly, it depends on you. During my undergrad years, I found it extremely hard to concentrate on E-Books. I don't know if it was because of the screen's brightness or the fact that technology tends to be distracting, but I always tr…
