Review is much more important than just grinding out PTs, which, without a bunch of accompanying review, is a pretty big waste of time and effort. The purpose of a PT is to get a snapshot of your weaknesses, so that you can spend time working on tho…

If you get it -0 after watching the video without trouble, that's a great sign. Maybe try redoing it the next day/next week just to make sure you still got it down.

Haha I like your reasoning the LSAT has served you well. And as far as the GRE goes, don’t worry about it. I can’t wait until this cycle shows that law schools are only using it to get impressive candidates and not people with 3.7s and the equivalen…

I feel you. I spent a month sitting in on classes, skimming books, and ultimately after a free trial with 7Sage found that it was by far my favorite course. It’s also about 1/10th of the other classes I looked at... Yeah it will prepare you you as …

If you can make almost any part of your application better, waiting is what gets my vote. The value proposition of applying early makes sense, but the advantage of applying with a higher LSAT or better PS will almost certainly be better.

Have you gone through a program yet? For the cost of a trilogy of books, you can get the 7Sage full starter course. That would be my first suggestion. If you're not a pro at games, there is nothing better out there. As far as guides go, I honestly…

Ron! What's up, dude!? What is the hardest part of 1L so far?

You have enough time to go through the lessons. Many of those hours include time to do problem sets and PTs, as well as the quizzes and other modules. And while those are all certainly helpful, if you already know the basics, then you likely won't n…

Hmmm... Perhaps @"David.Busis" has a better idea?

Hells bells! I freakin' love 7Sage and @"Accounts Playable" / David! I need to hurry and get some questions together....

I always go back to the ones that I was able to at least understand a little, or eliminate one or more of the answer choices. This is consistent with the "low hanging fruit" mentality. Once I get those questions, then I tackle any questions which I …

Hard to say, and I think it will largely come down to how it's written. One thing you said kind of gave me pause. "I have never really considered myself diverse." If that was your mindset, then just make sure your statement doesn't come across as fo…

@StellaBlue said: I wanted to say that the 7Sage community and program has totally changed my outlook, for the better. Couldn't have said it better myself. Keep on pushing forward!

I agree with @TheMikey 's take on this. I can't find much of anything substantial on whether it will have an effect on your application, but I highly doubt it will. GPA is what matters most; not whether you have a couple pass/fails.

I'd personally use any of 1-35 and use as fodder to drill by type and (newer) full timed sections to do your confidence drills with. Maybe try using some of the 40s or 50s for confidence drills. I think doing 36-82 for full tests might be needed by …

For me, It definitely comes down to those factors you listed above. Mostly question type will drive whether or not I scan or read from top to bottom. If it's a hard question and I know that (from experience) then I scan and often eliminate as many a…

Hey @bizmuf , Many students on here began with Powerscore and eventually switched over to 7Sage. Myself included. If you're still missing -6, then I absolutely would recommend a 7Sage Starter Set. I think 7Sage differs from Powerscore in a few way…
