  • @"Accounts Playable" said: Sometimes the reward for taking the time the question needs doesn't exceed the cost of doing so. For practical purposes, doing well on the LSAT really is about allocating your time to where you manage the number of …
  • @Mellow_Z said: @"Cecilia ZH" said: Hi there! So I just came back to 7Sage to start studying for the LSAT again, and I've noticed a whole bunch has changed! I see now that many drills and problem sets are entirely printabl…
  • I'm excited for the future of LSAT test takers! I'm excited that it will be offered more frequently, and if I need a retake I won't have to wait several months. I just hope the new preptests continue to be released within a reasonable amount of tim…
  • @"Kevin S." said: @imharris said: @"Alex Divine" so, having now tried your prefered pencil, i'm going to recommend that you give the palomino golden bear a try. amazon currently has them at $8.95 (plus shipping//not prime)…
  • @lsatstudier said: What strategies work best for you? How many passages do you attempt in practice tests? What have you found helps in increasing your score? Thank you so much in advance! Honestly, JY's memory method has worked well for…

  • @Patroclus said: Dixon Ticonderoga Black #2 I especially love that the eraser doesn't smudge. I tried the papermate but the eraser left a trail. I would like to try the Staedtler but since I've done all my LSAT stuff with the Ticonderoga, I'd …
  • @MapleSarahp said: @"Alex Divine" huge fan of your pencil posts ^ what sharpener would you recommend for the Wopex? I've yet to try the Wopex pencils but am now planning on it. (sidenote: i found the blackwing/kum long point sharpener…
  • @"Bevs ScooterMinion" said: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I knew we were due for another pencil discussion!! I was just thinking the other day that my Noricas sure do wear down too quickly, even with my long point sharpener, when I do the CC quizzes.…
  • Not silly at all. Actually there's an entire thread dedicated to pencils! https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2543/the-pencil-thread-7sage-style/p1 I really love the Staedtler Norcia and the Staedtler Wopex. I also use a Staedtler Er…
  • @Aidoe said: Got nowhere to go. Need advice. I'm preparing for the Sept/ Dec 2017 test while working a demanding full time position at a law firm. This has put a significant strain on me to the point that I'm doing poorly in both despite all t…

  • I think the above advice is good. Check out this webinar in which JY and a panel of Sages discuss skipping strategies/when to skip: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/skip-it/ Implementing a skipping strategy was what finally got my LR down to belo…
  • No, as far as I know, midterm grades are not considered. Your final grade is what will be on the transcript, and ultimately what counts towards your LSAC calculated GPA.
  • @kombucha said: It's possible LSAC may also make the LSAT more challenging to have people take the test multiple times. Really unsure how to feel about this change. Now that's a scary thought! You never know, especially if they'd have financ…
  • @TheCubicleEscapee said: Also to answer your question about previous job experience I was an insurance adjuster that worked with attorneys actually... I investigated fraud and handled bodily injuries SO it is relevant and I was pretty good at…

  • @akistotle said: I know there are people who called LSAC so I'm sure it's official, but LSAC should get its Twitter account verified if they are making such an important announcement on Twitter! Sadly I don't think they're popular enough, bu…
  • @cgracia12 said: @tanes256 said: @cgracia12 I love it! Same thing happened to me with RC. I was reading something and things just started to click and I couldn't wait to tackle the first passage. I just wanted to make RC my lil b*%…
  • I know of a couple people who were accepted for accommodations for June, but I also know someone who hasn't heard back yet. That said, @akistotle is entirely correct. The LSAC can be very slow in responding to accommodation requests. I believe I rea…

  • My vote is definitely for "Good Move."
  • I'm also available if you want another set of eyes on it!
  • Sound working fine for me too. Running Chrome on mac.
  • Check out this Webinar: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/managing-stress/ After watching this I found some techniques that ultimately I still use, and they help!

  • I think the general advice is there's not much one can do for pre-law prep, especially that far out. One thing that undoubtably helped me with the LSAT was philosophy classes in undergrad. I would recommend reading and learning some logic. Introduc…
  • @RafaelBernard said: @"Alex Divine" said: Also, god knows how admissions people will look at 4 takes or whatever. This was my initial thought. For the GRE's you can choose which test to send to schools. That would a true ga…

  • @TheMikey said: What do you guys think of this? Ayeee Mikey! I think it's cool and should have always been this way. That said, I don't see it changing much. Most people will still study for 3 months and refuse to retake when they don't hit…
