7sage ultimate+ package has every test ever released by the lsac so you can easily print out a section from an earlier test to tack onto another test.

@"blah blah" I agree that it might be hard to get connections without some local roots or a feeder school. My logic in terms of the upper-mid level not making six figures was based off the required employment disclosures from the ABA: http://www.ab…

@"blah blah" I agree with the culture argument. I have family that live in Minneapolis and so I've spent quite a bit of time there. The people are lovely and the industry there is surprisingly good to most people. They also have a high population of…

Science is usually a challenge for me too. I have done a lot of economics research, literary analysis and argument evaluation in my education so I feel pretty comfortable with those passages. But science is one of those things that I was never parti…

It does depend on how important UMinn is to you. It's a strong regional school, don't get me wrong, but there are some higher ranked schools that you could probably get in to if you went down the retake path. For the purposes of UMinn, retaking prob…

There are 95 days until November. How are you going to use them? Maybe figure out a plan of attack or a schedule for the next few months. Give yourself some time away from the test if you feel burned out and then come back with fervor. Stay discipli…

Be aware that you can always bail out the day before the September test and then take the test again in November. You can measure your progress and see if you are scoring better than a 158/9 in the days leading up to the test. If you find that you a…

A two year gap is beneficial to your application as long as you are being productive and working full-time. Law schools tend to like students who have worked in technical positions that require long periods of concentration and effort because this i…

As stated above, it is more of a guideline than a rule. I always think back to the basketball example: "Jerry is the best basketball player that ever lived" a necessary assumption here is "Jerry could hold a basketball" or "Jerry could walk". They s…

I don’t think studying for a retake is any different than studying in general as long as you have a lot of unseen newer material.
-
I have been studying for 11 months and once I am done it will have been 13. In all that time, you might think that I am totally prepared and mentally ready to take the test but that's just not the case. There are always areas where I see major poten…

If you go to the trends tab in analytics, filter by “PT 37” and then scroll down until you see a box that has four sections in it. Each one will show dots that correspond to the difficulty of the test/section.
-
You definitely want to put it in terms that they can understand. Your resume for law school is fundamentally different than your employment resume for any technical field. You need to adapt it to meet the needs of the people reading it. If you think…

Yeah it’s possible, a 172 is a really strong score. They’ll want you for numbers alone. Yes, 8 takes looks bad on your application. But a 172 is enough to counter that I think. Also it will depend on your GPA and your other softs. If you have a soli…

It depends on your section breakdown. For example: -2LR, -8LR, -10RC, -5LG What were your scores for each of the sections?

You must have misread the stimulus to have said that Halley's reflects 60x more light, but the stimulus says it reflects 60x less light. Hope that helps I made the same mistake at first but re-read the stimulus and caught it. Tricky question thoug…

Find all of the schools that you are within the gpa and lsat ranges for, check their region, check their local/regional reputation and employment outcomes. Here is a good resource for just the numbers: http://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/Employm…

Even after the median increase, a 171 is still a 75th percentile or better score for most schools. Get your apps perfect and have them submitted as early as possible. A retake would help but I'm not sure how much.

awesome, good luck with apps!

@yjzhong0709 said: @john.wang5314 Thank you for the input!! Unfortunately it's undisclosed so I would never know what went wrong...the two tests that i got 173/174 on were PT 82/83 which I took right before the test. That being said, I've also…

You have to consider that if you apply ED to Seton Hall, even if you get in, you'll be most likely paying sticker price. This is easily going to be 150k+ in debt. That's around $1500 a month for 10 years. This wouldn't be terrible though for people …

@TigerDen said: @MissChanandler Can't do 2 early decision applications, can I? @Ohnoeshalpme Don't have time to continue to study for lsat. Busy with work and life. I'm staying at 155. @lsatplaylist Yes, I would like to attend Seton H…

No one cares about your degree GPA unfortunately. It’s not what is posted to USNews and so it has very little bearing on your application. Retake the lsat, anyone with a 150 can get a 160 with some hard work and dedication. You still have until Nove…

I’d like to chime in, most people see law school as a “means to an end” for earning six figures. I think that many often forget that law school can be an incredible teacher. A truly life-changing and enlightening education like law school should be …

You probably already know that you need to retake if you want to get T3. It sucks to be 2 points away, but if T3 is your goal your app needs to be flawless. Since you have to overcome your softs, you probably shouldn’t expect to get in with a lower …

You might look into getting a consultation from Spivey or the 7sage people. They will be able to tell you more about this.

This is awesome. I have seen the same from a lot of people in my life who don't fully understand my motivation. The test is something that you can beat and it definitely should not be an inhibiting factor for any future lawyer. It's great to hear th…

The diversity statement is a soft plus factor, and a way to show schools that you are an under represented minority with a unique social and cultural background. It definitely has the ability to help and as long as it's not poorly written it can't h…

Morning makes more sense physiologically since you will be taking in the morning and you need to get your body in the routine of morning study.
