@juanmapm Hey, I never had a 7sage subscription but I still post here because 7sage's free materials literally allowed me to get the score I wanted. Stick around!
Adjunct professor is great--still a professor who knows your college ability! But I would say DO NOT do a high school teacher. It'll make you look like you had no one else in college who could recommend you, which isn't true.
Ask the adjunct!
@Trusttheprocess Two things:
I recommend taking photos of the questions you got wrong and sorting the photos by type. I kept them on my phone and when I had an extra minute (i.e. waiting in line at the pharmacy, etc) I'd open them up and talk mysel…
It is indeed a slow cycle! My buddy re-applied in September-- sent his stuff in literally when the application opened-- and only last week did he get a Harvard interview request and a UPenn acceptance after weeks of radio silence. And he applied mon…

My trick was to use them like tiny little study tidbits, since they're usually aiming for 4-15 minutes. I would do them all the time, whenever I had a few minutes to squeeze in (you can sort for the shorter/easier games on 7Sage).
10 minutes before…
@paul.sellari If it helps to hear about my experience--- I took my first sitting when I was PT'ing in the range I hoped for. Ideally, I wanted to take it only once. However, my score was a decent number of points below my latest PT average (as happe…
@itsemmarobyn Then I really do think it makes a lot of sense to, at this point, wait and see. You still have a lot of time between May and September to study, see how your progress goes, see how you're PT'ing, etc. For example, some people find that…
Hmm, I think it a lot of cases it depends on the scores itself. Could you give us a better sense of your timeline and how far along you are in your studying?

If this is the case: "I've been working at the same job involving children and a few volunteer opportunities," you haven't done nothing. Not to say things aren't stressful--I'm sure they are sometimes, but it sounds like y…
From someone who got in, I don't think the format really matters. They're just looking for the content, same with the list of activities.
For reference, though, here's what I sent on a Word doc-turned pdf. I wrote "Post Grad Activities" on top and …
I can't speak to the curriculum since I only used the free materials, but I will say that I BR'd EVERYTHING... all sections, whether done individually or in PT, regardless of which type.

Although I studied in less-than-ideal places for the practice of distractions, my favorite spot was my desk, the window open to the breeze, a scented candle next to my papers, my door closed, my comfy clothes on, no sound
@Bamboosprout I agree with you on what you're saying about the 175+ range. Especially because there's a margin of error on the LSAT (I've seen 3 points quoted somewhere). But also because you look at even top schools, like T3, and there's a range in…

This is some good advice! The analytics tracker keeps track of all the errors so I am thinking of taking your advice on writing out ways to correct past errors.
Yes, I also used the analytics tracker to figure out whic…
@kpj744___ if people are rejected, they'll apply again. Generally, though, if you want to go to X school, get accepted, but don't get any money, it would be a bad idea to decline and reapply to X purely for the money if you don't have any other miti…
@kpj744___ that makes sense. You should be prepared, though, to know that it's already getting fairly late in the cycle. I wouldn't rule out making backup plans for next cycle in case you don't get the acceptance/money you're looking for. Best of lu…
I vote wait--- and by wait I mean, just wait until the fall, get your application 100% ready, and send it in September or October. You'll know your score, you'll have a year to work/save money, you'll improve your softs and work experience, and you'…

You studied January then sat February. Studied again May and sat July 23. So you studied no more than 4 months in two study periods? and scored 172! I think that's great! Congratulations.
Yes, I had a pretty short study t…

By "Reading the stimulus (i.e. question prompt first)", do you mean reading the block of text first or the question that was being asked?
Yes, specifically the part that asks things like, "Which one of the following most logi…
Most advice I've seen is you shouldn't send any extra UNLESS you're sure that they will improve or add to your application. 2 great/good letters plus an extra lukewarm letter will only bring down your whole application, and in that case it would be …
I'd also recommend this article: "On Being a Happy, Healthy, Ethical Member of an Unhappy, Unhealthy, and Unethical Profession." It offers a great mindset to enter into law school with.

I know that students from Yale, Harvard, Stanford etc will often say SLS/YLS/HLS and it's totally acceptable. What I did was I would spell it out the first time, then use the abbreviations for any following reference.
Reading Like a Writer isn't a specific to LSAT book, and it has a more literary bent, but it's very well-written and interesting and uses examples from tons of real and famous books. I'd say it's very helpful for RC, in that it teaches the skills of…
