@montahar I agree with the people above. Many of us only thought the process would only take a few months but in reality for me personally I've been studying for almost a year now. Life gets in the way, you run into some speed bumps while studying…

I agree with the people above. Many of us here have had life get in the way and you really only get 3 chances at this test. I can speak from experience that I took the test when I knew I wasn't ready as a "test run" and scored poorly. I was plann…

@hmccabe1214 I think a lot of us are in the same boat. I graduated last year and my friends/parents/family want me to go to law school immediately and I definitely feel like life is passing me by because I will not be applying until later 2017 afte…

Absolutely I've done tutoring with @"Nicole Hopkins" and it was absolutely amazing. The amount of value that she can pack into an hour session was so worth it. ESPECIALLY if you're struggling with RC I highly recommend her!
-
@Belgianwaffles I agree with @Micaela_OVO on everything that she said. The key to improvement on this is slow steady progress and that really comes with blind review. Follow the curriculum through as is and make sure that you don't skip certain par…

@Gladiator_2015 I plan on having similar data for when I start taking PT's. Day 1 will be a PT and afterwards I'll log some data into an excel spreadsheet to track my progress. (Date, Time I took the exam, how I felt, what I ate or whatnot to try a…
-
@DumbHollywoodActor thanks but the credit needs to go to you and the other people who host the webinars, I'm just trying to record the nuggets everyone is dropping. Just so everyone can kind of understand my approach here it is. As for the questio…
-
I would agree with @Pacifico that you can mix and match, make it fun for yourself as much as possible while going through testing. My only thing with taking mostly 5 section tests would be to try and have the 5th be your worst section. Two reasons…

@beyondsudi thank you for your kind words I'm glad everyone is enjoying my contributions but I'm just really trying to learn and give back to this community because all of the tutors and BR leaders and webinar hosts have given me so much! But anyway…
-
@beyondsudi it depends on the person who's giving the webinar though you should be able to speak and ask questions. Normally though you listen to the lecture, ask questions through chat, and get feedback throughout the lecture but they'll keep it i…

Amanda first of all don't give up because every single one of us on here have ran into questions/concepts that have tripped us up, even the people that have scored in the 170's so don't feel bad. Now let me see if I can help clear some of this info…
-
I'd like to hear some other people's opinions on this as well. My personal opinion is that I agree that its an advantage to study where you'd like to practice because of the network that you can build while in undergrad that can help you when you gr…
-
Thank you again @"Nicole Hopkins" tons of nuggets dropped in this webinar. And if you do change your mind on any of them feel free to do another one!
-
Sorry if this initial answer is a little vague but I think it really depends on where you are in your prep to determine if you have any major decreases in your scores. Also I'd personally track what works best for you do you prefer a little more ti…
-
@Vickpetrosian1 I would agree with the posters above and would highly recommend option 2. Many of us here have gone through similar situations where we wanted to attend in a certain cycle and decided to wait and study longer and have had remarkable…
-
No problem guys just giving back to a group that's already given so much to me!
-
@splitterhopeful Sorry this is so long, but I would highly suggest that you wait and take it in June not knowing anything else for a couple reasons. 1) I know that you think that it's a bad thing that you're "old" but personally I believe that depe…
-
@"Nicole Hopkins" you and the entire staff here are the GOAT!
-
@shannonv1029 My personal opinion on the matter is that unless there is an extreme reason why you need to take it now, I'm now a huge advocate for delaying if people even question whether or not they should delay, especially if they've already sat f…
-
@LN_Macaroni While I don't know of your particular situation about whether to wait or apply right now, I will caution you on your last statement. While you do say "might be able to transfer" and not "I will transfer" I believe the general consensus…
-
@alex1996 I agree with @StopLawying that you should really rethink applying in this cycle, as hard as it might sound, but know you're not alone. I was in the same boat as you and rushed through the curriculum the first time and scrambled to start t…
-
@DumbHollywoodActor I think that's a great idea, definitely gives more options for people earlier in all levels of their prep and will serve as a great gauge of progress throughout.
-
I'm in a similar situation with you in that I won't finish the actual curriculum this time around until around April but I'm going to try and plug into the June BR group and take some of the 70's exams with them on Saturdays while I'm finishing up t…
-
Honestly I did a similar thing where I thought 3 months was enough time and then came to 7sage and rushed through the curriculum to try and make my deadline of taking the October LSAT and it was the worst thing I could have done. When I was on my o…
-
@DumbHollywoodActor is it to late to join now? Until I finish the curriculum I'm only going to be in on Saturday's but I really feel that since many of them are the 70's PT's and I'll be retaking them later that it could really help my prep and und…
-
The 7sage community make this as amazing. To have people of all age groups, in all stages of their prep to help guide and answer questions in a positive manner to encourage learning separates us from others. The fact that we can reach out to people…

I've heard great things at Spivey Consulting as far as resume and personal statement work. I'm not sure if they have any spots left but they would be awesome resources to use.

@nicole.hopkins thank you!

@Sheri123 I'm glad I could help, but I definitely encourage you to try to be able to attend, I didn't do the webinar justice because Corey and David killed it! @sarahfatima28 my mistake lol, shoutouts to @stepharizona for the periscope skills!
