YES!! Congrats on your #1!!

This sounds like me on my Sept 2016 test. I was scoring in high/mid 170's and scored a 170 on test day. I choked on LG and realized it was because I had absolutely no strategy or procedure for how I went about taking that section, unlike RC and LR. …

I think others have given you excellent information on schools, so I'll just second that and move on. What I want to address is this: @rynehambright88 said: I'm an excellent student and average standardized test taker. I'm also an excellent s…

@LSATcantwin said it really well, and I just want to highlight one specific component from his response. I think a lot of people mistake skipping as something that is much more binary than it is: You either skip a question or you come away with an a…

@lsatplaylist said: Has anyone printed these materials at a copy store or library? I don't want to wear out my small printer. Thanks! I bought a new printer specifically for all of this. It was $100 on Amazon and next to my 7Sage subscriptio…

I've never heard of a socio-economic addendum. That sounds an awful lot like a diversity statement to me, and I'd combine the two into one narrative that addresses both. Sounds like a really powerful story; I think it will add a lot to your applicat…

I did a webinar on how to move forward after the CC if you want to hear what I think more in depth: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ I agree with above posters to go ahead and take a test, and I just want to …

@"marino.zach" said: @"Cant Get Right" @pioneer321 Is that Q&A still available? I would love to check it out. Thanks to everyone for the advice Here's a couple I've done where I think I touch on this: https://classic.7sage.com/web…

@pioneer321 said: @"Cant Get Right" thanks for doing that Q&A by the way! It was very informative. No problem!

Pacing is normally a really big problem for people in your range. This assessment is based on very broad trends and very nonspecific information about you, but you're probably spending way too much time on questions beyond the point at which you sho…

Have you taken a diagnostic? What is your target score?

The other thing to remember is that you're the one going to law school, you're the one starting a legal career, and you're the one living the life that will result from it all. It may suck right now, but when all this turns out beautifully, no one w…

@kvento said: Hi, @"Cant Get Right," would you recommend timed sections instead? Timed sections are great depending on what you're working on. I think what I'd recommend is exercises with specific goals. If you're working on time management …

@"Seeking Perfection" said: Damn, maybe I needed to be better at reading the tea leaves. By the time I got into the high 170s, I felt like I needed at least a few PTs just to spot any sort of a faint trend in my mistakes. Efficient or not thou…

Hey, welcome to 7Sage, you're in the right place! I had the benefit of great moral support from friends and family, so it was easy for me to take the time I needed, at least as far as that went. I started with a 140's diagnostic and worked my way u…
-
Where are you scoring and what is your target score? It also depends on how easily this comes for you. If you're a natural and are scoring where you'd like to be and just need to get more reps in, then you're in a very different position than I was …

I think we can all agree it's objectively funny. I don't know what the sense of humor is like in the admit office though. I'd play it safe and make a standard, boring resume.

Definitely Berkeley. You're at/above their 75ths for LSAT and GPA, they give out decent (if not great) scholarship money, they're great for PI, and they've got lovely weather, lol. Apply for some reaches where you've got a shot to get in without mo…

Don’t think of PTing as a fully distinct phase of study from mastering the fundamentals. They will go hand in hand, particularly in the early phases of PTing. Take a PT and use it to identify the specific fundamentals you need to focus on. These iss…

Even having taken a handful of of your tests already, that’s still way way too many PTs. Don’t mistake burning through PTs for studying. As others have said, PTs are great at telling you what you need to study, but they are generally a very ineffect…

I worked through the bibles for a couple months and then burned every PT I could get my hands on, lol. No review, of course.

This is a really important question and I just want to reinforce the very good answers above. Diagramming is an excellent learning tool, but a terrible test taking strategy. Under timed conditions it should only be used as a last resort for when int…

Toner, the complete original series of Kung Fu, a Marauders' Map, some camping gear, and lots of coffee!

Retake. You've set yourself up for success with a strong GPA and solid softs. Why do all that only to settle for an LSAT that you've describe as rushed? No way. Studying for the LSAT and applying for law school is a much bigger undertaking than anyo…
-
Good luck!
-
Yeah, I might retake. Getting just another point or two would be huge and if you're confident you can pick it up it'd probably be worth it. Just be careful that you don't rely too heavily on tutoring as your prep for retaking. It's better to be Mic…

Yeah, their stats have always made it look like they're willing to take a hit on LSAT to score a killer GPA. Berkeley is also known to place relatively high emphasis on GPA.
