It's well-documented test takers are 5 points "dumber" on test day - experiences by a number of 7sagers, myself included, support that notion. This is due to a number of factors - fatigue, test room distractions, stress, …
Read some philosophy. Almost all of it is more difficult to read than the LSAT LR sections. Rather thsn trying to find something particular hard to read, I would read something interesting to you or you have heard of and wanted to read for a while. …
I doubt that you will lose progress by practice testing less. I think most prople practice test once a week. If you want to keep getting twice as many tests in and work on endurance, you could do what I did and take two 4 section practice tests back…
Make sure you are doing a thorough blind review on any PTs you do otherwise in my experience they are really mostly only going to help with timing.
You said logic games isn't quite at a -0. Where is it? If it is -3 or more I would try to spend some…
I'd start with foolproofing logic games. First of all, it will give you a window into why 7sage is the best. Second you can do it at whatever pace you want. Third, when you buy a 7sage course you want to be able to study pretty intensively since the…

Can someone explain the process of fool-proofing? What resources do you use? Does is matter if I fool proof before or after going through CC? How many months (average) does is take?
I was just doing foolproofing nearly ful…
I'd definitely turn down the offer you don't want and ride out the waitlist. The fact that you got on it with those numbers says good things about the rest of your app. However, barring a great LSAT it is going to be hard to make up for that GPA and…
I have never used the Trainer. However, 7sage methods are sufficient to get the answer to any LSAT question so I doubt you need it.
If I were you I would do the core curriculum(1-2 months) and foolproof the logic games from tests 1-35(probably 2-3 …
I think I'd like to wind up working in a resurgent Detroit amd would settle for Ann Arbor, Flint, Lansing, Kalamazoo, or Grand Rapids. I would be willing and perhaps eager to be in a bigger city like New York for a couple years first to see if I lik…
The undisclosed February 2017 reading comp passage on bees is the one that was most soul crushing for me. I had already done the other bees passage so it rattled me quite a bit.

Gaps aren't good, but they're not going to make or break you either. I recommend that you fill your resume with something, anything. I spoke with the admissions reps from a few T14 schools an…
I sort of doubt personality matters all that much for the test. It probably affects whether you will be willing to study long enough for the test and how happy you will be as a lawyer, but probably not how well you will do.

Harvard, Yale, and Stanford all place better than any other law schools into prestigious positions. If you want to clerk, to be a professor, or some other very competitive job like working in the most competitive big firms, these are bar none the be…
I don't have any experience, but I doubt it will hurt you much for admissions. It will probably just shift focus from your GPA to your LSAT and letters of rec.
You should be competitive wherever you are above the median LSAT.
It might hurt some wi…

I'm not sure I would recommend July. It only gives you one additional month after June to study.
A 3.92 is 3.92. Law schools don't really care much about the major.
Keep up the foolproofing. It works. The timing will come eventually. I found that …

If you look at the Spivey post and add up the total number of applicants who scored between a 168 and 180 this year, you get 4,568. The number of those who scored between 175 and 180? 751.

I would caution against picking a law school for this reason. I think you want to pick your law school based on ability to get you a job and cost of attendance rather study abroad options.
