  • Hey, you might want to check out https://www.lawschooldata.org/ Maybe you're looking for more personalized stats, but there are just way more data points on there for exactly what you are asking.
  • Hey @John1960, I sent you a message—but more generally, the list of tutors approved by 7sage can be found here: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/4760/7sages-approved-tutors/p1
  • Yep, pretty much. Problems, contentions, questions raised, etc. -- anything like that, but clearly having to do with the study. The important thing here is we need issues around the study, rather than issues in general or issues with something else.
  • No, whether the test is disclosed or not shouldn't affect your decision of which test to take. Use PTs to evaluate what you get right or wrong. And when you take the actual test, you should be ready and only take it if you think there's a solid chan…
  • I would interpret "issue" in this context as closer to the google definition, "an important topic or problem for debate or discussion," which is inclusive of both the terms you provided: a topic that is a point of contention. But it's not so much ab…
  • Where are you scoring currently? And do you mean there have been 2-3 of those Qs out of 6 PTs that you've done so far? If there's one question out of every two or three PTs that you can't understand, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It just does…
  • If you're just getting through CC, I would recommend you not worry too much about timing at first, and focus more on reading properly: asking the right questions while you read, reading for reasoning structure and purpose, anticipating what the auth…
  • I think it's common to have this experience and misinterpret it as overthinking. But I think you're overthinking overthinking. You're in this position when you're deciding between two answer choices that both seemed correct to you. If you can't pro…
  • @Stellaluna said: @taschasp said: This thread from a couple months ago was also on the same question of the effectiveness of BR for 170+, and whether you should change your approach. Take a look and I hope it's helpful! ht…
  • and those featuring 'properly drawn' require sufficient assumptions Well, first be careful here. "Which of the following answer choices allows the conclusion to be properly drawn" is a common SA form. But if it asks "The conclusion can only be …
  • Hey @"Left My Wallet in LSATgundo". I like the username. To input BR answer choices, click on the number of the question for which you want to input a different BR answer (as in, literally click on the number itself). A new line will pop up under i…
  • This thread from a couple months ago was also on the same question of the effectiveness of BR for 170+, and whether you should change your approach. Take a look and I hope it's helpful! https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/22379/blind-review-a…
  • Option 1 is not an efficient use of your time. I found that the best strategy is to to do Option 2, but with some additions. At the end of each PT, after doing Option 2 Blind Review, quickly go through the answer sheet and mark down the Q#s you got…
  • That's some amazing progress. Congratulations and keep up the good work
  • Congrats and hope to see you there in the fall
  • I think the way you tried to diagram it is misleading. We are talking about a category of first time authors (FA) here. So, for all FA: /C -> /SA If you want to include FA into the conditional, you'd have to say, /C -> /SA OR /FA Why? Well…
  • Sure that sounds like a good plan, though I don't see why you couldn't do fresh tests for all of them. There are so many left to exhaust! Yeah, adding in a few recent exams sounds like a good idea.
  • I would keep taking PTs once every several days or at least once or twice a week to stay in the groove of it until March 30th. Practice taking them in public places with distractions, and simulate test conditions (or worse than test conditions) as m…
  • would it be safe to say that in any in/out game with a biconditional that says two elements can never be together, it’ll be worthwhile to create multiple game boards?> Unfortunately, no. I can think of many in-and-out games with never-togeth…
  • At the end of the day, the digital format doesn't really change much. You're doing the same thing. You should work towards not doing highlighting/notes on RC and just internalizing the low-resolution-summary process in your head. Taking notes durin…
  • You can go into law from any field, but I'm not sure about the fellowship part. I'm not sure there are any programs where you could be a law student and part of a fellowship at the same time, at least I haven't heard of anything like that. Or are yo…
  • Saying they'll throw your app in the trash if you don't have school-specific LORs is a stretch. Most schools don't really expect you to have LORs specifically written for that school, so Stanford is just making a point that they do care if you (and …
  • The real flaw here is that a whole is not simply the sum of its parts. Like you pointed out, just because something necessary for science is arbitrary doesn't mean that science itself is arbitrary. Here are a few similar arguments to demonstrate wh…
  • Well, first of all, 149 to 159 is already a huge improvement, so I wouldn't call that not improving much. But in terms of your options, they're both going to be challenging, to say the least. The jump from 159 to 170 is quite substantial, and the o…
  • Ur right. Actually that’s the thing. My gpa is not superior. Prob above average or average. Average compared to other students at your school, or compared to median GPAs of admitted T14 students? If the former, I'd more strongly suggest that y…
  • LSAC is ridiculous insofar as they don't let you use the bathroom right before the exam, and expect you to have to hold your bladder for such an extended period of time (and lose points if you can't and need to go). Like, since when is having a stro…
  • Depends on your GPA and everything else in your application. But in theory, you can get into the T14 with a 168 as an international student.
  • All I can tell you is that last year, registration opened for June/July in January, and registration for Sept opened in May Also keep in mind there isn't a Sept 2020 test. The Aug 2020 test (end of August) is equivalent to the Sept test date for la…
  • Ay, I remember when I was mainly just missing points on making mistakes like this! Totally feel the struggle. Honestly, I just had to force myself to read the stimulus more carefully. I'd read it a second time after I thought I'd comprehended everyt…
  • Practice doing a few timed 5-section PTs, by breaking apart one PT into 4 sections and adding each of those sections at the end of 4 other PTs. So if you're doing PTs 70-74, you break apart PT 70 and add a section of it to PT 71, 72, 73 and 74 respe…
