@zwerrell said: Thanks for all the advice. Some notes/thoughts: 1) I BR pretty much every test I take, and I take no more than 1 test per day now. As I said, lesson learned. 2) I keep track of every wrong answer and what my faul…

@Chandymen said: Do you reccomend reading the Powerscore bible? I have done the CC and am struggling with LG and was planning on going straight to fool proofing I'd go straight to foolproofing. In my opinion the powerscore bible was a useful…

I don’t think the rigour of the school matters much. The US News rankings don't put any weight on it so the law schools treat it as at best a minor soft in admissions. If I were you, I would pick schools to apply to on the assumption that you will p…

Couldn't you take it and apply next cycle? Then if you get a score lower than you expect, you can retake with the security of the February score in your pocket. That's what I did this year. I took in February and retook in September.

Why not ask now, explain that you need it by the end of December, and ask them if they would be able to get it done or polished after your grade comes in? That way at least the request won't come out of the blue. One of my profs got his letter done …

I'd recommend starting foolproofing now alongside PTs. You might not maximize it's helpfullness, but it will help.

I did. On August 22nd I received a fee waiver in conjuction with something called priority track from Duke where I could register to have them consider my application within ten days of when I submitted it. My retake hadn't happened yet so that wa…

Burnout and fatigue affected me most on logical reasoning. Try a PT like you will the real one, with a day of no LSAT prep the day before, an early wake up breakfast, a couple hour wait, and then the test. If that is back up to normal on LR then yo…

I never did the whole low res and high res summary thing, but I always felt that the longer I spent reading and thinking about the passage relative to pondering the questions, the better and quicker I performed. So I would recommend spending as much…

A lot of people swear by meditation. I felt anxious and it helped a little, but my anxiety never really altered my scoring anyway so I don't know if it would have helped with that.

@lsatplaylist said: @seekingperfection, Thanks for the comments. Have you ever facilitated a webinar on here? No, I never got quite that deeply invested in 7sage. I used it for the length of the starter course plus one purchased test. And I …

First of all you guys are crazy, but it's a beautiful crazy which belongs in the pencil thread if we can find it. Second of all, I got my 180 with normal black Ticonderogas so I consider them the absolute best possible pencils. I exclusively used …

@mzoodle said: Keep in mind the following: 7Sage greatly benefits from encouraging students to take a long time to study. The longer the student studies with 7Sage, the more money the company makes. Presumably, you are asserting that the ge…

@lsatplaylist said: Thanks for the comments; this has been an ongoing issue and this discussion is very helpful. I like the idea of asking if they'd like to try a test. I tried showing the freely available June 2007 test to someone who doesn't…

@mcmlaw36 said: Where is the best place to buy the 1-35 bundle? Was it the full PT's that you bought, or an LG-specific bundle? @akistotle @nicholasthomas127 @"Seeking Perfection" @"Waiting For Grey Day" @"Alex Divine" If you are willing to …
-
I foolproofed the first 35. After that I usually got -0 or -1 on the first try. Then I foolproofed at least another twenty of the newer sections after taking them in PTs just trying to make it less shaky. I still had a bad section every so often, b…

@Kayyyyyyy said: I'm still really confused about criteria for waivers. I truly believe that higher ed and standardized testing (and the legal profession) exist to perpetuate the oppressive power dynamics of the status quo, so I'm really no fan…

Mine were a little skeptical (perhaps reasonably) of my studying nearly full time over the summer (the KJD version of your problem). But, I was living with them, so I did all my studying at our dining room table where they could see me studying. The…

@Victoria14 said: Hey everyone, miss me? So I know I disappeared and a few 7sagers know why, but after a lot of thought i've decided to proceed forward with my applications for the 2018 cycle. With one caveat. I'm going to attach an adden…

Plausible is not a high bar to clear. So yes! Logic games is the most foreign section to most test takers and therefore the section in which people benefit from studying the most. So easier logic games make it easier for test takers with little pre…

Here is a follow up for any who are interested. I recieved a 180 on the September LSAT missing one question on Logic Games. So at least in my case the answer was that I ought to take the LSAT even if sick the morning of. I'm not sure if having some…

I see little reason not to retake, but then again my retake just went pretty well. What's the harm in applying with your present score, but retaking in December and or February?

Yale for sure. Probably Harvard unless I get a better than expected scholarship at another Top 6 school. Nowhere else because I expect to have at least some scholarship offers at peer schools of the schools ranked lower and am planning to go into P…

I don't think the political nature is what you need to avoid so much as the danger of broaching the topic in a way that isn't all that unique to you. You don't want your personal statement to wind up being just about you being offended and moved to …

Most of the law schools prefer academic letters of rec and want people with life experience outside of college. So I doubt they have a big problem with old letters of rec. On the other hand, I remember reading that it was ideal to give your recomme…
