This is all great advice... Thank you so much!!!

Definitely go in with a good idea with what the questions will be and what you would say, if you can help it. However, don't be scripted about it. I've done that with a job interview before and afterwards I knew that I didn't come off as authentic. …

This is very true. It makes me feel like I'm going crazy when I notice stuff like this. But, It's pretty cool when you spot fallacies in everyday arguments, in the news, or even in books that have been edited and published. For instance, I saw a for…

I think a lot of it depends how sure you are that your boss will hire you. IMO, worst case scenario would be you attending school right away and the company ultimately not hiring you as general counsel, and you end up wishing you would not have rush…

One thing you might want to consider is that the Feb test is undisclosed. People that choose to see their score, despite being unsure of their performance, typically have the benefit of seeing what exactly they did wrong. For the February test, that…

Delay,100%. LG is foreign for nearly everybody in the beginning, so missing half is common. It is also common for people to see progress in LG quickly. Within a month or two after doing the fool proof method you could quite literally go from approxi…

Also, just because one chooses to buy a desk doesn't necessarily mean they will buy it. Perhaps they will be sold out, or some other phenomenon will prevent the buying of the desk.

They are certainly similar and having these types of realizations directly pertains to something that JY mentions consistently in CC - that the LR section questions, while distinct from each other are simultaneously all very closely related. I think…

@"Alex Divine" said: I do want to add that I think you should be scoring at least 20-21 (-4 or better) points on an LR section before you implement confidence drills into your prep. I think if you're missing more than 4-5 questions on an LR se…

When I'm not studying for the LSAT, I am usually either tutoring, writing articles for an online writing job (Think: "5 High-Paying Careers for People Who Dislike Interacting with Others" kind of thing), waitressing, or researching creative ways …

It depends on how much time you are able to dedicate to the LSAT each week and what your weaknesses are. It's a good sign that you weren't a wizard at LG the first time you took it because LG is the easiest to improve on. If you are already making s…

For flaw questions I would suggest reviewing the flaw types in the cc, but I would also recommend doing some supplemental reading on informal and formal logical fallacies and examples of those fallacies. One of the hardest parts about the flaw quest…

Hey there! I hope 7Sage brings comfort to your studies! I know what you mean about forum anxiety. TLS, Reddit, and other sites can definitely bring you down. But, I find the 7Sage community to be the most supportive and productive. Rarely do I find…

Great stuff!

@LCMama2017 said: Just remember to make sure you ask your school how they view someone taking the lsat multiple times. When I went to the Columbia open house last month, the admissions person clearly said that they would look down on someone …

The combination of July being added and the December test now being mid November has just taken a bit of weight off my shoulders. You could take the test 5 times between now and late November (aka the hot-spot for applications!)

You aren't alone!

Personally, I would do some of the problem sets that are provided just to practice the methods you just learned. Applying the abstract and general principles helps encode the process at a practical level that it is difficult to replicate while just …

Gosh, I feel this post on another level. For awhile (5.5 months) I was working two jobs: a legal assistant job and a serving job. It was exhausting to find time to study. I was lucky to accomplish 10 or 11 hours of studying a week. While I was seein…

GPA and LSAT are massively more important. Will the rigor of your university/college from which you receive your degree play a role? Quite possibly, but maybe not as much if you have a great LSAT score and a high GPA. At this point, there's not muc…

Usually I study after an 8 hour workday on weekdays, which is tough. I know that JY has posted about trying to do it in the morning and that's something I plan on working towards. But somehow I manage to have solid sessions during the week, regardle…

I started off with a 144 practice exam score and I am now hitting high 160's low 170's. I took the real thing in September and scored in the mid-160's. I share your story. I love the positivity. Same diagnostic as me. How long have you been …

I'm aiming for Feb 2018 but June is my back up. Any chance I can get in on this?

I'm also studying for Feb 2018 test. However, I put in 2 months of studying about 20-30 hours a week this summer while looking for jobs, as I just graduated this past Spring. Because I knew that I wouldn't be able to to study as much once I got a jo…

Astonishing achievement. Nice work!
