  • Hi there, @venalexb . Unfortunately I am already working with someone and can only handle one person at this time. There are officially approved 7Sage tutors you may check out though! https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/16199/list-of-…
  • How do you BR? You may have taken this as far as you can on your own. That certainly doesn't mean you can't improve from here, though. Have you considered a tutor? 7Sage has a handful of approved tutors here https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/d…
  • @AnxietybyDeath Thank you! It's very likely that you can improve your score, but no one (including you at this point) can say what your **ceiling is or how long it will take you to get there. It's also very likely that you don't fully understand yo…
  • @NotMyName If you don't mind me asking, how long did that take you, and did you solely use 7sage for that progress? Your scores sound amazing, and like a dream to me at this point. I don't mind at all. I started studying in September of 2016 …
  • @16st51 You might be done for my friend Don't bring that negativity here. My diagnostic was a 148. My last PT was a 171. This community is full of success stories which started out just like AnxietybyDeath in part because of the pragmatically …
  • @"Seeking Perfection" Well said.
  • Boom. Why do you our help??
  • Can you map out the analogous ideas as your see them for ACs A and C? So in other words, you pointed to "knowledge" and "persuasion" in the stimulus and correctly stated that sometimes, folks with "persuasion" are preferred despite not having the mo…
  • Can you check the question PT/S/# again? 43.2.12 is about the Earth being flat.
  • Not for a long time, but thanks for the reminder. I'm putting "Little drop of Poison" on right now...
  • My girlfriend and I are awfully parochial when it comes to music. The only artists played in our apartment are Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and Johnny Cash. Some exceptions from time to time include Buena Vista Social Club and Amy Winehouse.
  • They are a nice compliment to each other unlike the Bibles which don't seem to compliment either 7Sage or the Trainer well. I do suggest completing the CC and training with the 7Sage style a good bit before supplementing with the Trainer though.
  • @"surfy surf" Well we can disagree to what degree a higher score, in and of itself, provides leverage for a student who is already admitted to negotiate higher $, but I never said it doesn't provide any leverage. I do apologize to OP for not making…
  • @"surfy surf" then they will re-evaluate my app and send me a new scholarship offer. I think this is in accord with what I posted. I'm not of the belief that more scholarship money has never and will never be offered on the sole basis of a bet…
  • Not really but kind of. Here's why: The most powerful chip to play in scholarship negotiations is competing offers; either larger scholarships from lower ranked schools or acceptances to higher ranked school. If a candidate's situation remains unch…
  • I also want to echo the importance of blind review and reviewing missed questions and difficult games/reading passages. If you're just doing practice tests and not taking the time to think about your answers and review your mistakes, you can't re…
  • This is not out of the ordinary. Believe me, there are lots of folks who have experience exactly this. I think your right; you should pause on the PTs for now. Have you BRed these tests? If not, that's where you should start. You need to honestly i…
  • Thank you! I am hoping to work in the San Francisco Bay Area in the private sector (not big law) doing employment or education law. Just glanced at the ABA disclosures. About 25% of their grads go on to work in companies smaller than 100 employ…
  • What would you like to do with your law degree and where would you like to do it? Congrats!
  • I'm not surprised. Since I've skipped 2 cycles, I've seen the system improve over the past year. They probably feel the new system justifies these increases. Maybe they are also looking to make more on their near-monopolized services like CAS (I don…
  • Slightly off topic from OPs question, but has anyone considered working PT and going to school PT for 1L then transferring to FT course loads starting in 2L? I read about someone doing this at Georgetown on their TLS wiki site. She said the transfe…
  • https://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/test-dates-deadlines/2018-2019/us-canada-june I don't see a late registration available. Well, you'll have time to prepare for July. Sorry.
  • If the unthinkable were to happen and you made bubbling errors in all sections of the June test resulting in a 120 score, would you retake? I guess I'm wondering if June is actually a now-or-never situation. Because if it is, I think the chances of…
  • First time winning! Thanks, 7Sage.
  • So you're still working towards that as a PT average, right? Whats your current average? If you have access to the bundle, fool-proofing is most likely the best place to use your time (without knowing your sectional scores). You should be able to u…
  • What's your goal score?
  • I think the time to mention the competing offer was in the LOCI. But a visit could give you an edge. Consider sending an email to the admissions office notifying them that you intend to visit and your interest in meeting with someone (briefly) while…
  • I think this is where a LOCI (letter of continued interest) is appropriate. Have you written one yet? A competing offer, in and of itself, wouldn't seem to strengthen your chances of admission so much as it strengthens your scholarship negotiation …
  • It reads to me that the administrator simply doesn't know how to process this less-than-usual scholarship agreement. However, is it possible that you misunderstood the Dean's commitment? I would suggest sending an email to the Dean directly. Polite…
  • When it's conditional logic, I'll map it out it if I can't keep track of it. As I've become more and more comfortable, I'm mapping out less and less. I used to have to skip these questions too and save them for my second round because my mapping was…
