PTs before 40 make up the majority of problem set questions you will see. Take them in full if you want but they will be a touch less representative of the modern LSAT than those after the 40s and towards the recent releases. Do not touch the 80s un…

The above comment is spot on. Beyond an initial diagnostic practice test, taking full length PTs consistently (weekly or more) is the last step of LSAT studying. How do you know you are ready for that step? You have finished the Core Curriculum, you…

Take this time to do something exciting. I worked/lived abroad dicking around for a year. If I had a dollar for every time somebody in the legal world told me they wished they did something like that, I would have a whole lot of dollars and I regre…

Does LG compliment LR? Unfortunately, not really. The same type of phenomenon of seeing the same types of questions over and over create some familiarity. Like, you may recognize a rule in one game to another game the same way you may see a flaw que…

Are you certain you want to go to law school this fall/have to take the LSAT now? If yes, then take a few days off and continue PTing. If your BR goes back to normal over the next two weeks, it may have been a bad day and one bad data point. Perhap…

If you are at 60 hours after two weeks, that would be 30 hours a week. That is about the maximum you should be at, and you may want to consider taking an hour or two more off. I was totally like you when I started studying. I kept hour logs, put tha…

I agree with @Climb_to_170 above and would add another point. Make sure you are putting emphasis on what is happening to you under time pressure. Obviously, if time were not an issue, your Blind Review score would be your actual score. Really put th…

Don't be concerned with one drop especially if you noticed the lack of focus. 4 tests is also too small of a sample size to be positive of where you are at exactly. Keep on blind reviewing and check back in a few tests. Totally normal to see some dr…

Aaron Thier of 7sage is very good. The value of one edit I believe is 250$ and unlimited edits was 800$. While it is impossible to know which part of the application contributed to the final offer, I received a six-figure scholarship from multiple s…

No other LSAT study resource gives you more bang for you buck. I did the most basic package, and learned more from that 300ish dollar investment than the 1000+ dollar in-person class. You get a deep dive into what each LR question type wants from yo…

One of the main things 7sage and LSAT gurus recommends is to do the studying first, then sign up for the test date when your PT scores are equal to your target scores. Therefore, it may be advisable to remove that time pressure of having to be ready…

Talk to as many tutors and professionals as possible. You will get a much better idea of what you actually need to accomplish as opposed to what you think you need to do. They are probably not the same thing.

I thought I saw this thread earlier, and I wanted to revisit it. I spoke with a law professor at a Big Ten university about this yesterday. Their response was it would be a very bad time to graduate right now. Next year will probably be better than …

I can help answer this one. I finished my LSAT experience in July 19'. I was fried, didn't want to try again, so I took my score from that and went straight to my essays and applications. I had no job at the time, so I was able to finish my entire a…

Is it possible? Yes. As mentioned above, many of the top LSAT minds around here started at a similar score range. As you mentioned in your last sentence, you are stressed about this. While the LSAT as a whole is a super nerve inducing process. Do yo…

http://classic.7sage.com/forums/discussion/4760/introducing-7sage-tutors The thread of all the tutors. I also recommend that you do so. If a tutor can help raise your score 3-4 points, 1000$ worth of tutoring will pay itself back easily in scholars…

I am done with my LSAT journey and am enrolling in the fall, but I scored in your target range. 7Sage gave me a ton of help, and I have received so much assistance that I stay connected on this site and help people whenever they need anything LSAT r…

Piggybacking everybody on top of me. You are ok. If you start understanding the inferences and rules, you will begin seeing them repeat themselves. It will just seem so much easier. It took me five months of studying before LG clicked for me. I ende…

It is almost impossible to know if any studying over the next three days will improve your level. Say you do really well on the 22nd, will it be luck or something you do from now until then that made the difference? The only way to know would be to …

I scored at my PT average. I called one of the wiser friends I know right before I left to go to the test site, and he told me something that I have been repeating to myself since. He said, "you have been studying for eight months. You are probably …

That you spent a year refining the skills needed to make that last jump from 166 to 172 is remarkable. It would have been so easy to just take the 166 or 169. Your mental fortitude should be commended.
-
As somebody who ended up in the score range where you want to be and had similar issues, @Bamboosprout really hit it on the head. If you get LG down to -0/-1, that by itself takes you almost to 160, and that is probably the quickest route to gains. …

To make sure you are doing 5 section PTs, I used the 30s to add a section to the later tests as well. I started at about 58 and worked up while drilling 1-30 and 30-57ish for practice sets.
-
I can't say definitively if it is too late or not, but you are not doing yourself any favors applying for this Fall with a March/April score. By the time you are ready to apply, many spots will have been filled and money allotted. If your goal is si…

What would you recommend I do for weekly studying? Consistently take a test every week with BR conducted shortly after? Or just focus on the LR timing and LG foolproofing for a month or so and then just into PT's? You're right in that improvement…

Took me about eight months with LG. I just chugged along doing all the games from PT40 and below. I followed the advice to re-do the game five times or more if there were any mistakes and did this with the timed PTs I did as well above PT40. I was f…

@standardizedcanbelearned said: @noonawoon honestly for me, it's a timing issue. I freak out under time re. LR. And, yeah, sort of same boat with LG, but I miss 5 or 6. I'm also to the point where I know I should be focusing on foolproofing, …

I studied at home for 8 months. What works for one person might not work for others. If you get more productive focused hours out of studying in public places, do it.
-
I am in the same situation and did apply. Absolutely do it. If you really want this school, tell them that. There is very little to no downside.

Yes to the above and depends on how you stack up with their metrics. If you are at 75th percentiles for GPA and LSAT, could be a month. If you are on the bubble, could be until July. Impossible to say.
