I used 3 watches. They were laid out in plain view during the entire testing process. There is nothing in the rules stating you cannot use more than one watch. I even called LSAC before I took the test and was told that 3 watches were fine. Make s…

I hope no one took my joking response seriously. If I wanted fee waivers I would just email the schools and ask. I seem to be a unique applicant, I am not surprised I haven't been offered any fee waivers. Funny though, last time I went through this …

Honestly, you should set your goals a little broader in my opinion. You have no idea what life is going to throw at you in the next year and a half. Focus on 1. Bachelor's degree, 2. LSAT, 3. applying to law school and in that order. I agree that pl…

Unlike a job resume, there is no real limit to a law school resume. Put everything that is pertinent to you. The personal statement allows the application reviewer an opportunity to 'know you' in depth. The resume is more of a list of what you've ac…

Law schools care about their rankings, which are largely affected by the numbers, more than students do. They absolutely care more about a 175 than a 170.
-
Your law school resume should be more of a generic, work timeline. Normally a work resume is tailored to a specific job/field. Law schools want to see exactly what you've been up to as a person. Instead of highlighting skills, you are highlighting e…

I'm going back to law school after withdrawing in 2011. I'll be 37 in 3 weeks. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow or live to be 102. Either way, I make today count. My LSAT score expired last year. Other than that, everything else is still on file a…

Nice, I didn't know they had put up the correct test yet.

Monday?

My scores are above the 25% for most top schools and nobody has sent me anything. Why don't they love me!!! I wonder if they just want some extra $$ from people they are likely to deny.
-
To be brutally honest, I doesn't seem likely to me that you will even get waitlisted with those numbers. Plus, the waitlist is far closer to a rejection than an acceptance. Coming straight from undergrad is going to hurt you, as law schools put a pr…

Feb 1st is the deadline for many of the schools I am applying to. If you're relying on your Feb score to get you into a better school, your options will be limited as the window to apply may have closed. If all the schools you are applying to have r…

"The worst part is when I sit down to take a practice test, I instantly go into panic mode as soon as I start my watch. It's like every single strategy I learned goes right out the window." I think you could have kept the post to just this concept.…

This site seems pretty accurate and simple to use. http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-content/uploads/Law-School-Predictor-Full-Time-Programs.htm

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you 7Sage.

Just woke up from a nap to find out that I took the test of my life! LOVE . . . LOVE . . . LOVE to everyone at 7Sage!

"You might be a fantastic person and a hard worker, but that doesn't mean your reasoning capabilities are up to snuff." This is exactly what I am talking about. Jonathan made an objective statement and someone injected subjectivity into it. The sta…

I am glad Jonathan created the above posts. I have refrained from making several comments on this site as I didn't want to sound overly harsh. But I have been through the law school admissions process before. It is strict and unforgiving. Law school…

As someone who has spent a year in law school, I can confidently say that the LSAT is an excellent predictor of success in law school. The skill set necessary for success on the LSAT is the same skill set used as a law student. Honestly, I am a bi…

All I can say is that I crushed the writing section!

Schools will not evaluate an incomplete application package. You can submit an application prior to receiving your LSAT score, but the schools will not look at it until LSAC has sent them your score.
-
Thanks . . . I really needed a post like this today.
-
I agree that you should avoid this situation. I feel that it is a bit unprofessional for the other course to offer a 6pm test. In no way does offering a test that late simulate actual test conditions. I know that I would do poorly on a 6pm test and …
-
It would be in your best interest to call LSAC and the individual schools for clarification on this question. Every school may handle the situation differently.

I just made some serious breakthroughs this week: RC passages are much clearer and I got much faster at logic games. All I can say is that repetition paid off, even though I thought I had reached my potential. Keep plugging away and don't get discou…

Good questions. Here's the deal with lower ranked schools. The higher ranked school you go to the higher level of classmate you will have. Your grades are based on how well you do compered to them. If you succeed at a 2nd tier school, well, you suc…

Go see a movie or something. Like muscles, the brain needs some rest as well. I doubt you'll have trouble getting back to the grind after a few days of well-deserved rest.

As someone who has spent a year in law school, I can tell you that the LSAT absolutely measures your ability to succeed in law school. Judicial opinions are like RC passages on steroids. It is not uncommon to come across legal decisions that have be…

I got a very average score (for myself) on 72 but then fell on my face trying something new for 73. Don't let yourself be ruined by one random sample. Go back and analyze the shit out of the test. You probably just got sucked by a bunch of trap answ…

Personally, I find the older tests to much different than the newer ones in subtle ways - if that makes sense. The older logic games seem to be more diverse to me - their are some weird ones that you just don't see anymore. The RC sections in the ne…
