I think there are only 2 reasons you should re-take: 1) You are confident you can do much better 2) You're aiming for HYS Splitters are always going to have hit or miss cycles. That score won't get you into top of the T14, but once you hit aroun…

First of all, I don't think there's any need to do 2 full PTs in a week. Since you're studying full time though, it's a possibility. But I think it's unnecessary. Aside from that, I love the dedication and that you have your own rhythm figured out.…

Yeah I'm pretty much in line with the other commenters. I know the general wisdom is to practice with 5, and I definitely think that is a solid option. However, since I was working full time and studying, I really was trying hard to manage my time a…

That's such a bummer when you don't hit your goal score, I'm sorry. Was this score around where you were PTing? What's your average of the last few PTs? It's really an individual thing. If you've been regularly PTing in the 150s and you feel like t…

For what it's worth, I highly disagree with some of the above advice about skipping around and supplementing with books. The course is laid out in a specific order to build your foundational knowledge and then apply it in different ways. I wouldn't …

First of all, congrats!! That is a rare accomplishment. Most people actually don't improve much or maybe a few points by the end of the cc. It can take a while to learn how to implement what you learned. But it sounds like the material really stuck …

If you're not sure you want to do it now and there are other things you want to try, then go do those. It is a huge commitment and can be done any time. I'm 34 and in the midst of this. In some ways, I'm glad I didn't go in my twenties. I have a lot…

I really think it's individual, whatever works for you. I briefly attempted morning studying, but I am 100% the opposite of a morning person. I couldn't focus on anything and didn't absorb it. I studied only on lunch breaks and after work like 7:30-…

I know it seems counterintuitive, but I would try doing a passage or two without doing any annotations. I tried that myself and not only did my speed increase, but I felt like I remembered the passage better. Play around with markings to see if it h…

There are a few out there and it's a bit up in the air if they're helpful and worth the money or not. Reviews are mixed. Larry Law Law is one and I think @"Nicole Hopkins" took it and raved about it. But I've also seen negative reviews. I have hear…

Ok, I think the easiest way to find them is go to the syllabus and expand all the sections, that way you can scroll through where all the PTs are and easily see where the commentaries are. Check out PT 37 for sure!
-
I'm not sure if there is an easy way to find them, but if you expand the PTs in the syllabus, you'll see them. Example is PT 61 - there are live commentaries for LR there. As for the final 2 questions of LR - I think it varies. The trend is that 1-…

They generally don't give you X number of days to respond. It's a set deposit date, and most deposits are due in mid-April to early May. So, it more depends on when you apply and how quickly they give decisions. I applied late last year (end of Janu…
-
Haha itr's true, @Luminate. They really bag on all the prep courses including 7sage and Blueprint. It's funny. I've heard them be negative about BR, reading for structure in RC, and saving later PTs for close to test date. I do think they can be hel…

For those of us older non-traditional students: why law school now? How has your perspective on something changed? Why did it change?
-
Regardless of the format, the content will be the same. So I don’t see why you would need to go anywhere else for study material. No one is advising on the digital aspect yet anyway, so I don't think it would help to look into any other resources. …

@ParisthePrince Ok, gotcha! I haven't gotten a chance to look around the Khan stuff. That's interesting. And yes, Kaplan has a lot of negative reviews and seems like you've caught on to some of their issues, haha. 7sage is incredibly thorough. It d…

@"samantha.ashley92" I'm not sure about the details of all the scores like that, but generally when people talk about the curve on the forum here, they are referencing that number I mentioned, how many you can miss and still get a 170. @username_he…
-
The "curve" of a test isn't really a traditional curve. What people mean is, the most questions you can miss and still get a 170. That can vary from -9 to -14. So if a test is a -14 curve, that means it was significantly difficult and you have a lit…

Hi there! First of all, just want to encourage you a little bit. We all know this test is brutal and can be really demoralizing. Don't feel like you're alone in that. I've had days I want to throw either my computer, the test books, or myself straig…
-
Definitely ask ASAP. It sounds like that’s a perfect professor to ask. I’d highly recommend adding on the 7sage admissions course. It’s only $10 and there’s a really helpful section on LORs. @AlexRexeger It’s definitely harder to get academic lette…

I’m there with you guys. I keep wavering, especially after applying once and deciding to push back. I’m in the middle of job hunting too and may be getting an offer. It makes me question if I really want to go through with this or just keep trekking…

Unfortunately, no. If you’ve worked through some of the course, you could print out problem sets to work on. But the videos need an active WiFi or data connection.

Law schools do find out who is registered. I’ve gotten “good luck on the LSAT!” Emails before. But the schools won’t see your score until shortly after you get it.

It’s definiely tough studying while working full time and it sure does eat into your social life haha. I think it’s going to be tough studying while doing other things like working out though. A lot of the lessons are interactive and you need to mak…

It's possible. But of course, the best plan is to study hard and retake when you are PTing higher. Your LSAT score is more malleable than your GPA and LSAT scores are more heavily weighted in law school rankings, so most law schools are going to rel…

Personally no, I would not take out the loan and invest savings. Your loan will be accruing interest during school, so you'll likely end up with net negative. I wouldn't take out the loan and would pay for my expenses out of savings. It is yearly a…
