How similar are LSAT logic games to this test you're taking? I get that they might be similar, but basically nobody would be able to ace a logic games section without diagramming. That's unheard of. The creators of 7Sage wouldn't even be able to do …

Is the only answer here to pay another $700....? @studentservice

The fact you already have a great score and will likely get into a great school will only help with confidence if you retake. That confidence boost alone could potentially get you over the 170 hump... You are in a very good place right now! Congrats…

Hey, still looking for people? Just moved out here. Studied with 7sage for a good portion of early 2018, but took a hiatus to find a better job. I've BR'd in the 170s several times, but my timed score is simply not good. PM me if this is still a thi…

Would getting a 172 or 173 really be better than possibly just focusing on your GPA and ultimately raising your GPA to, for instance, a 3.7? I don't know the answer that question, but it's something to consider.

Also, once you get to the point where it's time to drilling/do practice problems, go slow. Maybe don't even worry about time for awhile. Accuracy yields speed. Think of it this way, would you rather finish 12 problems in a section and get 11 of them…

Your RC isn't bad. So, that is good. I'd say just keep working on games and really try cutting that LR, BR score to half of what you have now. That'd get you into 170 range BR. Baby steps. As far as stress goes, I'm right there with you. I've often…

It will be interesting to see how LSAC decides to handle this in terms of maintaining its reputation of being a consistent test. It is known for being a test that, somehow, almost brilliantly, consistently conveys a test taker's true understanding o…

Wow. Truly amazing. It's been interesting following your experience. Thank you for sharing your story.

Sorry for the late reply back - I just went ahead and took a full week off and wasn't on the forums for the rest of the week. I REALLY appreciate these insights. I feel a little better about where I am at right now in this process!

@LastLSAT said: A low 170s LSAT and ~4.0 GPA only got me one T14 acceptance haha (although I applied very late). The increase in competition is real. My advice is to get your apps in as early as possible and to make sure every single docu…

@btate87 said: You say your BR takes you days - are you only BRing after the full test? Are you always sitting for full timed PTs? I gained a lot of ground when I started doing a single section and reviewing it right after or sometimes the nex…

@keets993 said: Hey there first of all congrats on you BR score, that's amazing! Just to clarify, when you say your BR score, it's not the case that you're already aware of which questions are wrong and then you go back and BR them right? I …

Wow. Sure puts my lsat struggles into perspective. It really is just a test.

Sorry, I originally tried to delete the comment because I immediately realized it was wrong! You can’t delete a comment entirely. Only edit it. After I had typed out my response I re read it and notice my mistake and accidentally hit post.

Agree with what is said above. Except now I'm at the point where I do well with drills and problems sets, and when I go to actual LR sections I feel like I'm, as you put it, losing brain cells. lol Step by step, I guess.

Luckily, I did not have Virginia at the top. lol

I imagine that I will be doing it in the evening. It depends on the type of person you are. At the moment I work full time and then study 3 to 4.5 hours after work. So, if work out at all during the week, it's at night. I also do my best to go every…

Personally, I work as a legal assistant because I desperately wanted to get started in my field of interest after graduation. That decision is something I do not regret at all. Whether the admissions board at a law school finds value in it is for th…

LSATcantwin is very much so correct, from my experience. I'm currently a legal assistant at a small firm in a medium-sized town. Because of our location, we practice many types of law: family, criminal, real-state, employment, probate, injury, medic…
