  • @stormNYC said: I'll be joining starting PT 56 on 2/27, latest. Can't wait. Are you cool with folks who no longer have 7Sage subscription, but have access to the relevant PT, joining? AKA - if I don't keep my subscription past 4/29, but want t…
  • @"Creative Username" said: Hi, I was wondering whether it is advisable/necessary to scan through all of the answer choices in a Main Point question, instead of just looking for the answer (which will be a paraphrase of the main conclusion that…
  • @cshel152 said: Hey Everyone, With 15 days until the next LSAT -14 days of review time left - I would like to hear the opinion of others on how to spend the next 14 days. Would it be best to write PT's for the next two weeks, practicing e…
  • Although Free LSAT prep is nice, I honestly think Kaplan is pretty much the worst prep option after Barron's. I started with Kaplan back in early fall of 2016 before I signed up for 7Sage. I studied using their methods for a few weeks and honestly I…
  • @mariev22 said: Thank you! Since I’ll have less time at the beginning of the year, would you recommend I begin with the “starter” course, and upgrading when I have more time/capacity (around June)? Or should I just start with the highest …
  • @marievaldez22 said: Hi everyone! I'm pretty much set on beginning my LSAT studying using 7sage - yay! I'm hoping to take the test in either September or November. However, work will be very busy for the next ~4 months, so I'll have less …
  • If you really are that stressed, I say take it and demystify the test a bit so perhaps you won't be as stressed about it come June. But you'll have to ask yourself if potentially having a lower score on your record will cause you to put even more p…
  • My questions: Where are you trying to get that 156 score to? What was your 156 score breakdown?

  • @RoelaB93 said: Do law schools look at your highest LSAT score or do they combine all of them together and look at the average? The tend to only care about the highest but other law schools aside from Yale (NYU, for example) say on their web…

  • @olioliber said: Hello, I just went to a pre-law advisor in order to have my essays and resume reviewed. I have done quite extensive research beforehand on how to write them and what to include. The, very nice guy, told me to delete half o…
  • Can't hurt to ask! I think that's great advice re: asking for interviews. Anyway, congrats on getting into your dream school
  • @beezmoof said: Would love to finally join! Yay! See you next week
  • @"paulmv.benthem" said: @"Alex Divine" said: If you shoot me a PM, I can send you an Excel spreadsheet I made that tracks all games, PTs 1-83. @"Alex Divine" , would it be possible for me to get a copy of this too? I'm …
  • @hawaiihi said: @"Alex Divine" I've done worse on probably 5 or so sections, overall. I think that the sections where I went -2 (versus -1) are probably not as significant, since one question isn't probably an indicator of my whole abilit…
  • How many sections/PTs did you do worse on? More importantly, what were the reasons you missed those 2-4 question? If there's really no reason, then perhaps it was just a fluke you can chalk up to a bad section or burnout. Do you feel burnt out?
  • @Nlgndman said: Up to how many times can we take LSAT? Anyone know? As many as you want since LSAC got rid of the 3 takes in 2 years rule
  • It seems like whatever you were using clearly wasn't working. I would try something new and give 7Sage a shot. I'm biased though because it's one thing that has worked well for me. Besides, how much is a point worth on the LSAT? When you think of it…
  • Yes! This is such great news.
  • @"sarah.karim" said: Hi all, What’s the most efficient way to study for the next two weeks? Should I be doing one prep test per day at this point? I work part time, so I have the mornings free and also the evenings. Fyi I have b…
  • Yes. That's certainly possible. It's certainly not all that common on the LSAT, though. Be careful though, that one sentence isn't the sub conclusion giving support to the main conclusion.
  • I'd actually just go back through the CC in its entirety. Especially if it's been a year and you're scoring below a 160. Feel free to skip over the parts you feel like you have a good grasp on and slow down for the places where you need more work. O…
  • I actually bubble after each question. The exception being LG where I bubble in after each game. I'm not sure it's actually a good strategy but it's what I've always done. I like having a few seconds between questions to refresh and collect my thoug…
  • I tend to go back to whatever ones I think I have the best chance at getting correct in the shortest amount of time. If there's a question(s) where I was stuck between two answer choices, I go back to these first on my round two. I usually find that…
  • @markk007 said: Hi guys, thanks for all of the feedback and support. Also I actually just finished up with a different prep course company and noticed things weren't sticking very well then I stumbled on JYs explanations on youtube and loved h…

  • @lsatplaylist said: That's an idea, yes. One thing: I don't have a score yet and I think they're going to want me to tell them the score(s). Oh alright, I see. Hmm... Tough call on what to do going forward if they want scores. Perhaps just s…
  • @lsatplaylist said: So in fall, back when I was hoping for this cycle, I met with my recommenders, then had to let them know I'm delaying until the next cycle. Now I just want to send them a quick update so we stay in the loop with our communi…
  • @LSAT1234 said: Do all Law Schools use the index formula that computes your UGPA? adding withdrawals and f's into your gpa? I am mainly interested in which schools in New York follow that. Thank you GPAs are calculated by the LSAC and, yes, …
