I understand this. You have to force yourself to take the PT - I promise you can do it. I expect that you have some ego wrapped up in your score. If so, you gotta cut that out. It doesn't help you. The best solution that I have for this is to take a…
No it does not strengthen.
Imagine a scenario: "If my alarm doesn't work, I am late for work." So here the cause is "alarm doesn't work" and effect is "I am late for work". So, a "No cause, no effect" statement using these same variables would be, …
I have never heard of someone legitimately fool-proofing 2000 games and seeing no improvement. I somehow doubt that what you're doing is real fool-proofing. I'd like to know more about your process - and be honest. Once you explain your process, the…
Yes, do speed drilling. Go with your initial intuition for a few sections, don't waste any time overthinking any question just finish as fast as possible and track your accuracy. You'll start to get a sense of where real tricks lie and what question…
First of all, you didn't lose 3 1/2 months. You need to be honest with yourself about how long it's going to take YOU as an individual - with your study habits - to get the score that you need. It takes some people years to get the score that they w…
If your friend knows the Dean, or someone high-up in the law school, give them a call and explain your situation. Tell them that you applied to "x" school and that you wanted to know if they had a close relationship with someone in the school. If th…
I love 7sage, I always will sing the praises of 7sage, but trying to work through this curriculum in less than 2 months is not going to guarantee you anything. It would be a stretch if you were studying full time, had no outside responsibilities and…
I got my first acceptance in less than a week after applying! This is not a rule though. I think that when you are applying to schools where you are an exceptional candidate (numbers-wise) you are placed at the top of the proverbial pile so admissio…
First of all, I think it's important to remember that you are in a very unusual community here at 7sage. It's easy to get caught up in the "T14" and "170+" posts and think that these are the minimum requirements for law students to feel satisfied ab…
That -9 on November's test is unfortunate because I think it was a very easy RC section for a modern test. I don't say this to dishearten you, but to give you a realistic idea of what modern RC is like and as a valid metric for your tests moving for…

So maybe it's actually better to apply in Dec-Jan this cycle. I wonder if schools were more strict with early acceptances/denied more people who applied Sept-Nov. based on the early applicant numbers.
It's not that i…

@Ohnoeshalpme Thanks for the comment! I have been balancing a lot of the financial factors that you mentioned and will be making this decision largely on how strong my offers are this cycle relative to my expected LSAT improvem…
You have to ask yourself whether you would attend the schools where you are applying if you got accepted without a scholarship. If the answer is yes, and you would be happy to attend, then you accomplished all that you needed to for this test. If th…
also, the challenge of the LSAT is for the individual to decide. If you think that getting 3 more points on this test is worth the time that it will take, then there's nothing that should stop you from doing that. Just be aware of why you're doing i…
A 168 now is almost as good as a 170 in February. I'd send out apps to schools where you have a good chance of getting in with a 168 now and take in February again for the schools that you need to have a 170+ for. Do not delay your apps except for s…

Is it ever possible that your personal statement/ diversity statement leads admissions to consider you URM even if you are not part of the categories they mention as being URM?
I am not sure what you are asking here. An un…
It is simple in theory, challenging to implement: Meditate, eat a big breakfast every morning with high fat and protein, have a balanced fat and vitamin rich diet, exercise 3+ times a week, structure your sleep schedule around administration time, s…
You must be acing RC and LR to get a 171 with that much trouble coming from LG. I would guess that if you are averaging around 10-15 minutes per game you would only get 3 done in time which is at best a -5 on the section. So to get a 171 you'd have …
I can take a look at the PS and resume!
Generally, jargon is bad for law school admissions. It might be good when you are applying for STEM jobs but definitely not for admissions officers.
As long as you did not discuss them in your personal statement, you can put them in your DS.
As a side note, probably 70-80 percent of applicants should not include a diversity statement. Unless you have a truly diverse background you shouldn't wri…
It's not bad, but it demonstrates that you lack the fundamental knowledge required for success on this test. I recommend doing the Core Curriculum again, and then doing timed section drilling. In this process, you will be gathering a large sample si…
First note: get a tutor to help you plan your next steps. I cannot stress this enough. Whatever advice you get here is going to pale in comparison to the personalized feedback that you could get from one of the 7sage tutors.
That being said, my adv…
It depends how you define “acceptable”. In February you are considered a late applicant, which means that unless your scores are significantly above median, your odds of being accepted or offered scholarship are much lower than they would be if you …
