  • @RafaelBernard said: I don't see this being bad for law schools or future applicants. Standardized tests are really overrated in terms of their predictive ability. The GRE takes less time to conquer, it seems to me, and is much more flexible i…
  • @"Seeking Perfection" said: @"Alex Divine" said: GT is going to be accepting GRE scores this cycle from what I've read. Thanks, Alex. If the LSAT falls and everyone hears it will my chances fall too? Haha! I'm ac…
  • @"Seeking Perfection" said: I can't open the article. Is Georgetown's change next cycle like Northwestern or this cycle like Harvard? GT is going to be accepting GRE scores this cycle from what I've read.
  • I think this will allow NU, GT, and H to become more competitive in the rankings. H can finally claw its way back ahead of Stanford if more people apply and then they still accept the same size incoming class. Same for GT and NU with respect to rank…
  • @"micah.bateman" said: Thank you, David, for that marvelous introduction! I'm very excited to be aboard the good ship 7Sage! Oh man, and you're nice with the GIFs, too. I like you already
  • @"Ann Marie" said: I have emailed Harvard law, they said they only take the Verbal part into consideration. So, that's pretty much no difference with taking the LSAT? Below is the email "Quantitative factors, while informative, do no…
  • @10000019 said: Assuming that the schools seriously consider the GRE, and aren't just doing this for statistics/increased application revenue, I think this is a big negative. - More competition for the same number of spots - Potentially …
  • @jennybbbbb said: @LSATcantwin Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate the advice! I think I will do it & see how it goes. If not, I can always take the December one. Just hoping I don't actually have to resort to that. @"Alex Divi…
  • @"Paul Pederson" Don't forget to watch some Daily Wire while relaxing and enjoy some Ben Shapiro
  • @jennybbbbb said: @LSATcantwin @"Alex Divine" I know all the question types and how to tackle each and every one. I also know how to approach the different LG games and I am also familiar with how to tackle RC. You could say I have basically …
  • @tringo335 said: I feel like I should be worried for some reason .... although I don't know why... first HLS, then Northwestern now Georgetown? Is there anyway this could affect future applicants? It seems that they are only trying to increase…
  • @jennybbbbb I wouldn't sign up for September at this point, at least not from the information you've provided. When it comes to LSAT study, you can't brute force your prep by studying 8-12 hours a day. 8hrs might be OK for some (w/ breaks), but I th…
  • @westcoastbestcoast said: Maybe lsat will have an easier curve now to attract more test takers to come back... just kidding. If only.. if only... lol
  • Yep ... basically, haha.
  • @akistotle said: Wow...I knew this was coming, but I don't know what to say now. Is 7Sage launching its GRE course soon? I hope not, lol. Then I'll have to sign up and master both tests Good for GT, though. Hopefully this will help them ba…
  • @uhinberg said: @"Alex Divine" Who is to say that the objective standard for every student should be the LSAT. Maybe it should be the GRE. Northwestern claims that it conducted some sort of study that yielded a correlation between GRE and 1st …
  • @jkatz1488 said: UGH. In a most embarrassing move, i have been misusing my palomino sharpener since the day i got it. never read the instructions for hole #1 vs hole #2 (bring on the puns). i've totally worn down the blade and have bought a ne…
  • The opinion that work experience is not "terribly relevant" is not echoed by most hiring partners. It is correct that WE takes a back seat to academic performance, but it's still very relevant.
  • I've got some history with the GRE and it's definitely not a joke lol. I would wager that people would probably score about as well as they do on the LSAT on the GRE. I think it more or less tests many of same skills. Of course, straight math vs. lo…
  • I completely agree with @username. Definitely skip harder questions if you're not already skipping. You don't want to be needing every single second in order to finish on time. Also, make sure there's no pattern to the easy questions you're missing.…
  • @iceman322 said: I have been approved to type the essay (without any extra time). Does anyone know how this will impact my testing experience? Will I be in a room alone? With others who have accommodations? Will I still get the experimental se…
  • Awesomeness! Welcome, Micah -- killin it with that 176
  • Right on @"Connie Lingus" and definitely an important piece of advice to keep in mind!
  • @"mmbarros.br" said: Is this thing for real? Also interested in this method... Never heard of it, but it does sound interesting to say the least.
  • @afios134 said: Hey guys Its been 5 years since i left college I think it would be better for me to get a recommendation from the office Is it a requirement to get a recommendation letter from a professor? For most law schools, if y…
  • @akistotle said: @"Alex Divine" said: @Freddy_D said: Geez, LSAC is gettin serious with the pre-order option. LOL, right? Even thought we have full access to the tests on here, I think I'm going to p…
  • @eesLSAT2017 Why do you have to take in September and have to apply this cycle? Usually when people say this it is just because they don't want to wait, and unfortunately, sometimes that's exactly what we have to do in order to reach our potential.…
  • @Freddy_D said: Geez, LSAC is gettin serious with the pre-order option. LOL, right? Even thought we have full access to the tests on here, I think I'm going to pre order it just because I already have all the other ten actuals and feel like …
  • @Freddy_D said: Correlation doesn't prove causation . Like btsao650 said, employing new strategies takes time, and it was only one section. I wouldn't read into too much. Hahaha! Bazinga! This is actually pretty common. It takes time to im…
  • @dfletch5 said: Yeah... I think you're overthinking it a bit, or at the very least are seeing the ultimate + as some silver bullet. Having Ult + is neither necessary nor sufficient for scoring well on this test. While I do think it is a…
