First and foremost, I make sure to get 8 hours of sleep every night and eat well. Aside from that, what keeps me motivated is how horribly I failed at studying hard last year and the feeling of not being able to take the LSAT because I dropped the …
I actually just talked to some of the prosecutors in my office about this and they said, "Hmm I wonder why we all say this..." One of the lawyers is a 26-year-old recent Berkeley Law graduate (he has never held a job before). The other is in her l…
I'm working a 9 to 5 job and studying during lunch, nights, and weekends. What I would recommend is doing some hard math (i.e., how many hours of studying can I do in a week and do I think that it will be enough for me to achieve my goal?) and bein…
Also, it's totally possible to reach your goal; I've seen lots of 7Sagers climb 10+ points. I'd recommend being on some of the calls with BR groups so that you can get a sense of how they do it since proper BR is key to increasing your score.
BR and then grade. My understanding of BR is that, while you're taking the test, you circle the questions you're unsure of. Then, once you're finished with the test, take a blank copy of the test and go over the questions that you circled. Take a…

Somehow this makes me wa…
I really appreciate posts like these because, although I know that delaying is the optimal choice if your score isn't where you want it, it's nevertheless slightly embarrassing when you have to tell your attorney coworkers or judgmental family membe…
This is amazing! Congratulations! I hope to make a similar score bump, so it's really nice to see that this is possible. I'm also interested to see what you did for your prep, so please share when you get a chance!
Thanks for writing this - it was so helpful! I also read and write a lot, but am very slow at RC (I like to make sure I read every word and carefully evaluate each sentence), so this has been a big source of frustration for me. And, I do think tha…
@david.busis @"Stevie C" That's good info. Since I have another 10 months or so before I start applying, I'll be sure to do some research about each school and what they prefer. Thanks!
@david.busis Could you expand on why adcoms have dinged applicants for sending a third letter? I had planned on sending two academic letters and a work letter, so I'm just curious. Thanks!
@stepharizona Yes, good point - I haven't filled out an app yet (I'm applying next year), so I didn't even think about the possibility that the question might show up on an app! Barring something like that where I'm asked point blank, I'm just tryi…
@desire2learn Thank you for the advice and I like your perspective! It's motivating to hear that others are juggling the same or more than I am and are still able to make it work!
@cam My parents were in a military band, too (the Marine Band)! Th…
@bjphillips5 Thanks! And it's true, 7Sage was an easy decision (especially after the let down that was PowerScore) and it is the gift that keeps on giving.
