First, I would recommend seriously reconsidering taking the test when you know you're not ready. I believe that with a June score you should still have plenty of time to apply early decision, if you've chosen a school where you want to do so. Most a…

As others have said, this can definitely be difficult, but there are things that can help. Meal prepping is definitely a huge help, or even crock pot type meals that you can start in the morning and not have to think about too much. If you aren't bi…

Is the school that gave you 75% a similarly ranked school? That would definitely help
-
Honestly, I wouldn't freak out yet. A lot of schools (especially as you get higher ranked) take a couple of months to get back with you. Generally, the consensus seems to be that you shouldn't send a LOCI just because they're taking a while. Only co…

How fitting with your username lol! Exercise/yoga and knowing when to take breaks have been my go tos for helping with stress. I also downloaded Headspace a while back, but I never made it into a real habit.
-
Using the analytics, I would recommend figuring out which question types are giving you the most trouble and then drill those and really figure out why they give you trouble
-
Aww thank you! Lots of hard work and help from 7sage haha
-
I'm in a similar position- finally accepting the fact that I'm going to retake lol. I think that a five point increase is definitely doable. If your average score is in the 150s, I'd say that your fundamentals could still be improved with the CC. W…

I think your method sounds good. You have more than three months until the June test- I think that if you put in a few passages per day between now and then, you'll be able to make improvements.
-
I think that adjunct professors would be fine, but I would not go for high school teachers.
-
I would definitely save most of them for drilling. When I went through the CC, I would do a problem set or two to solidify the methods, but save the rest. That way after you start PTing and really identifying your weaknesses, you'll have stuff to go…
-
Are you asking if you need to let your recommenders know that you delayed a cycle?
-
You have a lot of time (like six months if you want to take in September) to boost your score. In that amount of time I would be confident that you can improve your skills and your PT/BR scores enough to feel good about a retake. You don't want to b…
-
Seconding the above advise- and don't be discouraged if you don't see a big jump in the score from your diagnostic (if you took one) and this PT. It can take a while to implement the things you've learned in the CC
-
What is your goal RC score for test day? I mean of course a -4 or better would be ideal, but what score on RC do you need for your overall goal score? Can you afford to go, say, -8? If so, then I would really focus on accuracy for the first three pa…

I'd say reading or watching documentaries, especially science/history- sometimes just being more comfortable with scientific vocabulary, etc. makes reading comp a lot easier
-
I think you'll be okay! Those classes to me don't sound like you were just trying to take a bunch of easy A courses or anything.
-
It depends on what you mean by badly, honestly. If you can provide any more info such as the actual scores, your gpa, and where you might like to go to school, you'll get more tailored advice.
-
For other people who are also losing it/hilarious memes about the admissions process, check out r/lawschooladmissions on reddit. They are generally a much less chill bunch than here at 7sage
-
I haven't seen an explicitly stated rule about it on the site, although that doesn't mean that there isn't one. I feel like it would definitely be frowned upon/borderline unethical. People aren't allowed to just sell LSAC material, you have to have …

I'm in Indianapolis and most likely taking in June or July!

@Bamboosprout thank you!!!

http://www.nationaljurist.com/prelaw/top-law-schools-criminal-law this might be a good place to start. In general, the better the school the better it is no matter what kind of law you want to practice. From what I've gathered, ultimate ranking matt…
-
Sorry, I should have worded that differently. I would apply to some schools with 75th around 164 and some 25ths around 164 (give or take a point or two). So, a reach for you would be Northwestern or Cornell. A safety might be IU or Ohio State.
-
This is definitely an odd situation. From my understanding, law schools are typically cautious about international students for a couple of reasons. First, when English is not their first language, American law schools will definitely present a chal…
-
If you know you're not going to score what you want- don't take on Saturday. If you have the mindset that you're going to do badly, then you're going to do badly. It'll be demoralizing to have a low score on your record, and it's unnecessary since y…
-
Reasons to want to go to the school don't have to be directly related to the school. For example, is it in a location that you really want to live/practice in? Talk about that. Do you have any family ties to the area that you could briefly mention? …

What do you mean by higher diagnostic? By the time I got to 7sage I was in the 160s, and it helped me get a real LSAT score of 172. My diagnostic was a 157 before using the Powerscore bibles. If you're already scoring in the high 160s, the core curr…
-
Since you already have every PT, I would definitely do the 7sage starter course. It contains the whole core curriculum and it is the cheapest option. My first ever PT was a 157, the bibles helped me get into the 160s but after studying with 7sage I …

Hmm that's interesting. On my resume I don't list locations. Do you feel like you need to?
