  • Sure man, I have a rough draft of my PS I would loved to get review. I'm considering not writing a DS because my PS touches on so many of the subjects that DS generally do. Shoot me an email @ alexspecter1014@gmail.com

  • @tanes256 said: @"Alex Divine" said: Do I just go on the internet or to the club and buy bottles and models? Pull up in the Beemer with the ceiling missing like 2Chainz? Bwhaa!! Haha, I haven't had to pick up girls since …
  • @tanes256 said: So I was chatting with this guy on a dating site... yeah this is really not LSAT related! lol I mentioned that I'm super cautious because some guys are only looking for sex. The guy got offended and stated that I shouldn't gene…
  • @achen013 said: I read the Trainer before discovering 7Sage. Strongest component of the Trainer is the RC section, which helps give you a perspective on how to improve reading of passages. My RC scores went up upon completing the RC materials.…
  • I mean, it sure is possible. It won't be easy, but your diagnostic seems exceptionally high so I have a lot of faith if anyone can do it, it's you. Another silver lining here is you're missing a disproportional amount on games which are generally sa…
  • @AlexanderCM said: Really long conditional logic chains without clear logical indicators slow me down. And the "math" like problems slow me down (when an MBT reads like an Algebra prompt it hurts my time without fail). Seems like you should …
  • What do you feel is keeping you from making time? Are you finding them more challenging for any particular reason? Conditional logic? Grammar? Referential phrasing? In any case, I wouldn't be too concerned. When you blind review them pay extra spec…
  • Mike Kim just provided a different prospective than any other LSAT book I've read. He is very good at breaking things down and distilling them to their common denominators by simplifying concepts. It reads pretty nicely, too. I enjoy his humor and s…
  • @smseraj3 said: @"Alex Divine" Thanks for the response. Just wanna point out that your numbers are a little off LST has Washington and Lee's 2017 employment score at 76.8%, the number you mentioned (55.6%) is from 2013. Washington …
  • @USER123456 said: 1. Sure there's always room for improvement, does that equate to always being able to improve? "clearly you're ignorant"... I was basing my comments on http://lawschooltransferguide.com/law-school-transfer-statist…
  • @Katharine said: @"Alex Divine" Thank you for the response! I'm still researching all the schools I'm looking at, but the links and info you attached are actually really helpful. I haven't actually discovered the them on my own, so I'll be dev…
  • Awesome stuff so far here guys! I think this is going to be a great thread!
  • Oh, and yes, the admissions course is gold. Make sure to fit in time to watch those videos and I learned a lot about dos/don'ts and what makes a good PS/DS!
  • No, not at all. I finished mine in about 45 minutes and spent the next couple of weeks editing and editing some more. But I think you'd have some time between now and September to write those things. It was also nice to have something productive to…
  • @smseraj3 said: I appreciate the advice everyone! Im fine with constructive criticism. I honestly think 7sage's discussions are much more productive than many TLS forums. I know the T-14 comes with a lot of benefits, but i'm confident that I…
  • @Katharine The judge you clerked for probably graduated in a time when a law degree from basically any accredited university was a golden ticket to the middle class. I've had older attorneys basically give me the same spiel. It is the younger ones …
  • @goingfor99th said: So, I'm faced with a dilemma. I scored a 169 on the June LSAT but I really badly wanted a 170+ on my exam. My 169 is nice because it still puts me in the 97th percentile on my score report, and, coupled with my GPA, it's re…
  • @StellaBlue said: @Sami Good advice! Unfortunately I went to a tiny college and we didn't have TAs in the humanities. @"Alex Divine" I actually found him on linkedin and tried messaging him there too, to no avail, which is why I tried contacti…
  • @ajcrowel said: I can't comment about the work expirence aspect as I'm not qualified to say, but as for another score, it won't matter what you score. You have a 170, minimum. You can thank U.S. News ranking for that. No, you're probably not r…
  • @StellaBlue said: Hi friends, This is sort of a weird question, but I'm sure some of you have had similar experiences, and any advice would really help me out! I guess I'm a nontraditional applicant in that I graduated in 2015. Since…
  • @"c.veneski" said: I personally believe, like everyone in this forum, that if you keep working and studying that you can increase your LSAT score to put yourself in a better position to attend your desired schools with the possibility of schol…
  • @ajcrowel said: Just because, I wholely agree with Alex Divine. He knows what's he's talking about here. A lot of choices about law schools are going to come down to values and marginal cost vs marginal benefit type analysis. Wherever you…
  • @conversation said: I get what you mean, @"Alex Divine", and I know you are saying this because you think seriously about this matter. I'm sorry if you did not mean it, but by reading your comment, I got an impression that you are saying …
  • @USER123456 said: 1. At what point does he throw in the towel then? Keep in mind the first time round he was studying full time. 2. "absolutely no way to know how you will fare1L year" The same applies to potentially years of LSAT pre…
  • @sjiang666 said: Agree! There is always Survivorship bias in many forums. People who get higher scores are more willing to talk about their scores/study experience/questions. But the silent people could make up majority of us and actually need…
  • I think taking a year or two to work in a professional setting will help you a lot. Your internships and credentials seem very impressive. However, something that is commonly overlooked is lack of work experience when it actually comes time to apply…
  • @twssmith said: Thanks to the people who have sent me messages wanting to find a similar interactive experience during the Core Curriculum as provided on 7Sage during the PT phase within the Study Groups. Hope you are taking advantage of Sami’…
  • No way to be "safe" for sure but if you do and fool proof every logic game you can get your hands on, you'll be as prepared as you can be. The newer oddball games, at least from my understanding, resemble the older games from like the first 20 PTs o…
