  • @"culv.carlie" said: I'm planning to take the June LSAT and have started taking PTs. I have the Premium course, which includes up to PT 58. I was curious how many of the newer PTs one would recommend taking to better simulate what the more cur…
  • 7Sage has all the solutions for those tests with the Ultimate package. I believe LSAT Hacks, Manhattan Forum, and another one I'm forgetting may have solution written out. I will say though that compared to the video explanations you can get from 7S…
  • @KingDavid said: I'm in! I too am a full time studier with 4hrs a day - generally after work - 5pm to 9pm. I have found it difficult to keep the assigned times allotted to some of the lessons. I am in the middle of week three, and currently…
  • @lsatstudier said: I want to join! What a great idea! Welcome! Come talk with us about your daily routine, how to avoid being bored all day, and any complaints about prepping full-time
  • @"Mikey O." said: Being able to study 'Full Time'...must be nice. I'm just bitter and salty, ignore me. Ayeee! You're still in school so technically you can't ever really study "full-time" Though I will say it has been a pretty nice few days…
  • @poohbear said: @"Alex Divine" woah! I also took PT 62 last week (it's a retake for me) and I've been spending my timing BRing andworking on weaknesses. Great minds think alike!? haha Looking forward to working with you all full-timers …
  • I don't think it will be much harder to get in from the recent jump to 15. I agree with Daniel's take for sure. It isn't like it was ranked 35 and then suddenly jumped. If that was the case, I would be more inclined to answer with a resounding "yes!…
  • @RafaelBernard said: @Shivani said: @RafaelBernard said: @"Alex Divine", @ScooterMinion , or anyone else on this thread. Are you planning to apply this season? Applying this cycle! are you? I…
  • @"theLSATdreamer " said: Alex, havent seen you post in a awhile, hows studying been? damn i wish i could quit and study all day i feel like lately my lsat game has improved, i been really focused 6-8am study then work 9-5 then study 6-10, los…
  • They are important, but ultimately, LSAT/GPA are worth so much more. That's not to discount soft facots like w/e, awards, military duty, or URM status, etc. There is also a large range of softs. Someone winning a Rhodes Scholar is going to be a much…
  • @RafaelBernard No, I'm planning on taking Sept or Dec and applying next cycle. I wish I was ready to take and apply this season
  • @TheDeterminedC said: Ah! Awesome, thank you for this advice. I will more then likely start when I finish the CC in two weeks. Thank you for your input. It seems as if focusing on a particular section at a time is the way to go. At least this …
  • Like Mellow said above me, it depends on the school. Most really don't place heavy emphasis on work experience for younger students, but that calculus changes when you're 29 and graduated college in 2004 and haven't been doing sh*t. My concrete adv…
  • @nmk_1995 said: Wow, same. Today is also my last day working full-time and I'm anxious/excited to get into studying full-time. #twins haha I'm definitely down to be part of an accountability study group! I haven't quite worked out what my d…
  • Welcome all who have wanted to join! I think it will really help to have a network of people who more or less study full time. I also really like the idea of studying 8 hours/day broken up into however you like! that's pretty awesome. I might even …
  • @ScooterMinion said: @"Alex Divine" said: I have a good feeling for both of us that we will make a lot of improvement together this summer! Thank you again for all your support Me too, mon ami! Awww, you are most…
  • @akeegs92 said: @"Alex Divine" I actually never thought about the individual attack for each LR in a strict context like that; mainly was just trying to ID the premises and support. That actually helps a bit too. That's a great start and sho…

  • Well, I suppose we can communicate via PM with each other and this thread for now to talk and keep each other accountable. Right now I am a really in between/odd phase of study. I'm rusty from not study consistently, however, I have finished the CC…
  • @ScooterMinion said: Oooooo, I love this! Count me in, please! Generally, my plan is to study full-time for the Summer starting May 12th up until mid-August, 9am to 3-4pm, 5-6 days per week, with occasional evening hours too because of t…
  • @"Jae Won Hur" said: @"joe.j.ham" Here's what I'm trying to do right now. All of this is driven by the latest PT. I'm PT'ing at 161 and my blind review is around my target score. So, I'm in "phase 1" of studying, which means I'm trying to…
  • @RafaelBernard said: Hey Alex! I have been studying full-time since February and I like this idea. As these next two months roll by it will be beneficial to keep each other accountable. I've been doing PTs and BR once a week but this week I've…
  • @kacantolina said: Hey all! First, I'd like to thank 7sage for everything it's offered! It's been so invaluable to me. I got into a lot of schools with scholarships I can be pretty happy with. There's only one thing; I was wait liste…
  • @akeegs92 said: @"Alex Divine" I definitely have started to look for structure more. It is one of the things that is a constant battle for me to do but it also probably will give me a bit more focus reading. Thanks for the tips! No problem. …

  • Congrats man! Top school and wonderful decision.

  • I agree with all above. Try a quieter setting. The LSAT isn't perfectly quiet when you take it, but it sure isn't as loud as a Starbucks. But god bless people who get used to taking them in there. Sometimes the silence can be deafening as well. Als…

  • What exactly do you mean by "foreign affairs or for a multinational corporation"? Just wondering because that seems to be of a bit of a vague career goal. General speaking, international law is very much a unicorn job. However, a slow yes is better…
  • @amedley88 said: Hi all, this is great advice! I have never wanted to prioritize skipping but I realize that in the sections where I have gotten my highest scores, I have skipped questions and gone back at the end. I will continue to employ th…
  • @"J.Y. Ping" said: I just heard this yesterday on Planet Money and was going to post about it. The statute says that if you are involved in "the canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment…
  • I think as soon as you finish the LG portion of the LG CC you should begin fool proofing. You won't always need 10 copies because 10-15% or so of the games are probably just simple single layer sequencing games that you'll nail the first time or so.…
