Hey everyone, just in case anyone missed it, we'll be taking this Monday off for the holiday. See y'all next week!

Now available in the webinars page: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/

Hey guys, so the webinar I did on this that @"Alex Divine" mentioned in a previous comment is now posted. Hope it's useful!

Schools really prefer academic letters. If you've been out of school for awhile and don't have the relationships for good academic letters, then you'll have to go for a pro letter and that will be great. If you can get good academic letters though, …

That's a lot of diagramming, so you'll definitely need to figure out how to be more concise. You're going to find that more than space, time will be an enormous issue. So before you even PT, that's something you can go ahead and start addressing.

Make sure you factor in any potential restrictions that the game imposes before you just start drawing out game boards. Sometimes the distribution can end up limited to a few possibilities, but other times we're just left with an open board and not …

Your system looks very thorough, and I think it will serve you quite well. Agreed with @jkatz1488 that it's not necessary to complete every problem set. In fact, I think it's great to save a lot of those for later. You simply won't absorb the entire…

152 is a great diagnostic. I think Alex pretty much has you covered. One thing I'll add is pay special attention to the lesson about common LSAT mistakes. If you're just starting out, you have a great opportunity to avoid a lot of pitfalls. Take adv…

You will want to write an addendum for sure. Explain--without making excuses--how you weren't ready for college when you first went, that your experience in the Marine Corps served as a catalyst in your life, and that your 4.0 after your military se…

Beautifully written David. I was 11 when Sorcerer's Stone was first released--the same age as Harry when he received his letter from Hogwarts--so I grew up right alongside Harry and the gang. My Voldemorts may have come to me in different forms, but…

That's a really great idea @"Daniel.Sieradzki" . Never thought of doing it that way, but a great suggestion that I am stealing.
-
I have an LSAT playlist on Spotify that kinda tracks each stage of LSAT with specific songs. Waiting for scores is "Waiting Around to Die" by Townes Van Zandt, lol. It's a long month.
-
Proper BR can be very time consuming. But proper BR is the best learning tool we have, so it's time well spent. My process is similar to Alex's. I take a clean copy of the test and use that to review the questions I marked. For each, I break down th…
-
Definitely do BR for LG and RC too. It'll be a bit more involved just because you have to essentially do the whole thing even if there's only one question for review, but that's just the process. Once you're done with BR and have your scores back, …
-
You've only been studying for a month? A few things there: First, your score is really impressive and you have endless potential, lol. Really, that's phenomenal. Second, have you completed the curriculum? One month in is mighty quick to be PTing, ev…

@akeegs92 said: I hate kicking the can down the road again but its looking like the better deal long term. Don't worry about it. The road is way longer than any of us realize at the beginning! Top schools are filled with patient students who…

PTs are exercises we use to learn and improve, not to gauge our progress. While they can and do serve as bellwethers, that is a side effect. Until you finish the curriculum, you will not be ready to benefit from them.
-
Totally normal. At one point, I decided I just wasn't going to go to law school at all, lol. Two months later, I changed my mind, but yeah, I completely gave up for a long time.
-
Well, it depends on the exact nature of your question. How long does it take me now that I'm a top scorer; or how long did it take me on my way up? Now, it doesn't take me long at all, but it's not that my process has changed from what it used to be…
-
Skipping is an easy way to bank lots of time, and it's something that you can do at any level. Definitely get comfortable with that. More advanced pacing comes from mastery and it's not something you should probably be too too worried about until yo…
-
The tougher weaken questions are the hardest questions on the test, so don't feel too bad. I frequently have to skip these. When I return to them, my process is to first make sure I really have a deep understanding of the stimulus, and then to go in…
-
This is definitely not ideal, but really not too surprising. When we take the diagnostic, we just read things and do our best based on our untrained understanding of what we've read. When we take our first PT, we try to execute an overwhelming amoun…

Four PTs a week is way too many. There's no way you'll have time left to learn the lessons they have to teach you. The number of PTs you take has nothing to do with how well you perform. What matters is how much you learn from the PTs you do take. A…

No harm in delaying whatsoever. You spent four years on your GPA, and now you're going to rush the LSAT which is probably the more important stat? No, take your time and do it right.
-
I was aiming for 170's and I started over with a clean slate. You'll be able to move at a somewhat more accelerated pace because you've got some background knowledge already, but I definitely recommend starting over and taking your time to really ad…

Go into LSAC and open the applications for the schools you plan on applying to. There will be very clear and extensive directions for the application as a whole, and they will specify PS length and sometimes other guidelines as well.
-
I wouldn't go back except where you need to. Use your PTs to guide you. They will tell you what you need to drill and that will allow you to approach drills strategically. Just make sure you don't start burning through PTs now that you're done with …

@spitzy11 said: Are you using this after you BR'ed the diagnostic and provided analyses for each answer choice? I know in my experience it is not that helpful to go right into the video after just doing the questions. I need to BR them. It's e…

Don't worry about it. As you know, my background is also food service, and my results have come through pretty much how my numbers suggested they should: Rejected at the tip top, WL in the middle (with a WL admit at my top choice!), and ins with big…
