  • I think your intuition to wait is the right choice. You're only giving yourself more time to prep and hit the 170 mark!
  • Hmm... If you have legit insomnia problems, I would see a doctor. I think I've mentioned this on here before but that's exactly what I did. I'm happy things are starting to click and I think you have the ability to really exceed your goal if you ta…
  • Yes, I highly recommend upgrading if you can afford it. I had the starter pack for the first 2 months I had 7Sage and it was wonderful. However, having access to the extra problem sets, test explanations, every PT 1-80, and question bank (my persona…

  • When I first began, I too felt that way. You can always drill questions or entire sections to gauge improvement. I think it is best to only PT once you have finished the CC and have every Q type down pretty well. If you're doing well on drills and t…
  • @michael_theodore said: How much consideration does law schools place on academic performance in graduate school? They definitely consider it, but a good graduate GPA matters in the same sense that working for a year/two does -- it is a soft…
  • @rogersalexandra7 said: oh ok thank you again for all your advice!!!!! Anytime!
  • I would answer the questions as well to make sure that I can go -0 and that I feel like I've got the game down.
  • Don't be nervous! If you've completed the CC a second time, chances are you got a lot more out of it then you did the first time. I have also gone through most of the CC twice, and many things I was only able to fully understand the second time aro…
  • @"J Aranda" said: June will be the first time I'm taking it. I'm shooting for 155-160, but I'll be happy with 150. Been PTing around 144. Haven't even started studying for Logic Games, but I figured I'd do that now and in between then. But the…
  • Hi there! Kudos for getting back to it even after December didn't go as you may have liked To get a 165, you'd need to get no more than 18 wrong, or approximately 4.5 per section. Currently missing 9 per section means you'd have to basically miss…
  • @TheMikey said: You have to submit all transcripts from all schools. They'll see all the credits you've done whether it's on your 4 yr school transcript or not and it will all count for your LSAC GPA. Yup, so looks like it will be the 3.25!
  • Stats > Trends for sure. If you can nail a mid-to-high 170s LSAT, I wouldn't count yourself out of H/S. Y's always a blackbox and quite softs dependent. You have a good GPA and a strong upward trend. Kill that LSAT and finish up UG strong!
  • @rogersalexandra7 said: I do have one more question, for the logic games, after I print out the 10 copies of the game, do I watch the explanation before I do the game? or do I attempt the game and then watch the explanation? Thank you again! …
  • @rogersalexandra7 said: yes the struggle is very real lol thank you soooo much!!! I just used JYs memory method on two passages and I got all of the questions right for the two passages I worked on! So thank you so much again!!!! No problem!…
  • @rogersalexandra7 said: I feel as if Im trying to compensate for the lack of time so Im reading quickly but then Im having to read certain parts again so Im definitely getting nervous from the time constraint. and what do you mean exactly with…
  • @cvo1 said: @"Alex Divine" if only I could predict the future... I'm concerned that the trip would ruin the exam, and the exam would ruin the trip LOL. Yeah, haha! It's totally one of those sticky situations. Is there anyway you could postpo…
  • Hi there, So there are tons of ways to improve on RC. What helped me the most were the following. Going through the 7Sage CC and doing all the lessons on RC. JY's "Memory Method for RC" is what I first used to learn RC and it helped me eventually…
  • @sufficiency said: Hey 7Sagers, I've been studying for at least a year now But for some reason I have so much trouble trying to correctly answer Assumption, Sufficient Assumption and Necessary Assumption questions. I have gone over the c…
  • I think missing an entire week of prep before the exam might be a dicey move. However, if you managed to get some prep work in and were at a comfortable spot before the trip, I think you could swing it. It will all depend on where you're at before t…
  • @JustDoIt said: Hey! I am in a similar situation. If schools aren't going to consider it...why not reapply? Getting waitlisted is encouraging because it shows that you are "admittable" to those schools. If you really want to go to any one…
  • Congrats on having the courage to retake and reach your potential! I think your plan looks good. If it works for you, then keep going. Having a good schedule is a really good idea! My only questions are: When you got your 156 did you happen to n…
  • @dennisgerrard said: Any requirement needed? Pretty sure you are required to have a degree in science or engineering before sitting for the Patent Bar, if that's what you mean?

  • I would 100% recommend everyone interested in law school getting work experience or some sort of internship in a law related job before attending. I don't really have a passion for the law so much as the field of work I'm interested in. Through som…
  • @cm214998 said: Is it bad that I can't study for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time a day? What are some study tips that have worked for you guys? Any recommendations to increase focus or longer study times? Thanks! No such thing as study mi…
  • I'll start with the idea of writing an addendum: I wouldn't suggest writing one if you were just partying. They are really only worth writing if you have a valid reason (at least in their eyes, lol) why your GPA is so low. The ten years will help to…

  • I basically do the same, although practice has made me noticeably quicker. I unfortunately don't have any special tips or strategies. I also am VERY likely to skip these if I don't see the answer pretty quickly. Skipping these helps me keep momentu…
  • Hey, I think the staff is aware and working on it. I noticed mine were a tiny bit lighter, but they are certainly readable. Here is what JY recently recommended in a thread: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/70827 I think …

  • @genuinely said: So I took the practice LSAT test from 2008 and scored a whopping 134. I have a 3.76 cumulative GPA from my undergraduate so I know I'm not dumb. I'm trying to get into Texas Tech Law school this Fall 17 so I need at least a 15…
