Congrats!

Can you disclose it without writing an addendum? I haven't submitted any apps yet so I don't actually know. If you can explain it sufficient in the character and fitness portion then no need for an addendum.
-
That is definitely addendum material if you ask me. It's easily explained but if left unexplained and discovered, it makes you look bad.
-
@tekken1225 it's a good sign that most of your improvement is in LR/LG since those are typically easier to improve than RC, although earlier RCs are famously easier than the more recent ones so keep that in mind. At this point, I'd suggest you comm…
-
@tekken1225 What is your goal score, current PT average (and section avg), and planned test date? How many PTs do you have access to and how many have you used? While Sam Tyler certainly appears to have your best interests at heart, I think much of…
-
I would recommend calling the schools you intend to reapply to.
-
Wow! Congrats!
-
You’re already above their 75th percentile. I wouldn’t recommend retaking.
-
Happy to share my experience : ) As for LR, would you suggest that I use my "extra" time on time sink questions that I skipped or going back to the more difficult questions that I'm 50/50 on? This is a tricky question to answer. A 50/50 questi…
-
@NotMyName thanks for the advice! It's just so weird to me that I do so well in my practice problems (sets and question bank problems) but not on my PTs. Like I'll get the questions right that only 35% of people got right, but I'll get questions …

A badge in the hand is worth a T14 in the bush? Roger that. Thanks CGR!
-
T14 likelihood will depend to a large degree on GPA. Like Leah said above, it's hard to say how adcomms will respond to many takes. At the end of the day, you've got a 172 and you can't erase your previous takes. Best bet is to continue as you norm…

@Sprinkles @username_hello @Kermit750 @akistotle @keets993 @"Habeas Porpoise" @"Leah M B" Thank you, everyone. Ya'll make this community what it is... a truly emergent thing 7Sage has built. @"Heart Shaped Box" hahaha... yes, "J" is just fine. Yes…
-
Ahh I think I remember JY calling SA freebies for high scorers at one point! I wonder if he would rephrase that. I think what he’s saying is “if you want to be a high scorer, you need to consistently get these right”... the difference in framing see…
-
@keets993 Thank you!! (Big sigh of relief). I've been chasing this damn sage badge for the past 18 months since I started with 7Sage. At that time, I had just scored a 159 on the December 2016 LSAT. Without this community, I never would have come c…

Let's take this offline. I'll DM ya.

It’s highly likely. How recent were the the tests those numbers were based on? -5 to -7 RC tells me you can get LR down to -4 or less as long as you’re disciplined enough to develop a timing strategy. Skipping the cycle means applying for fall of 2…
-
Dude. You can score a 170 based on those numbers. I would recommend skipping this cycle and working with a 7 sage tutor to nail down LR. Is that something you are open to?
-
Woah. "Not reading thoroughly" seems like a lot of unnecessary risk and bad habit-forming. I wouldn't be surprised if reading errors were a major contributor to that -8. Every word of an LSAT I read, I read as thoroughly as time allows (which is tho…
-
I studied 4 hours per day. For the last few months, each day I would foolproof 2 LG sections, take a timed LR/RC section, and BR the timed section from the previous day. I would also review my binder of LR questions which gave me difficulty for 15 m…
-
That’s a good enough score to apply with. I wouldn’t suggest taking w the hopes of outscoring your average by an even greater margin. However, schools will review additional scores after you’ve applied so it’s not a bad idea to keep studying and ret…
-
I suggest joining an LR BR call. There are several (at least 2) in the forum.
-
@keets993 more so the latter. It’s a little like foolproofing... by seeing the same question again and again, I was better prepared to recognize the underlying structure when it appeared in new clothes.
-
July 2018 comparative sucked.
-
How long have you been using this study schedule and when are you planning to take? This schedule screams "burnout" to me and the idea of doubling the work makes me want to cry.
-
I used 7Sages predictor first so I knew what my odds were at a given school. Then considered the cost of attendance (not just tuition), LRAP, placement into big law, and clinical strength. I'm going to build my app list based on numbers and once I'm…
-
With a high BR score, I have to believe that this is a matter of familiarity and not an underlying fundamental gap in knowledge. I liked to keep a binder of any questions I got wrong or had troublesome difficulty on; the binder got pretty thick lol.…

You did it! Largest score increase I've ever heard of BY FAR! Congrats, enjoy, and best of luck in your apps.
