@nicole.hopkins I am not ashamed to admit that I have an OBSESSION with LB nor am I ashamed to admit that one of life goals is to be able to say, "What, like it's hard?" re: getting into HLS (I'm also with you on Suits -- couldn't get into it even w…
If you choose to write your DS on a work experience, it should be 10% your work experience, and 90% about how it informs you, your views and how that would translate in law school. IIRC, you shouldn't treat the DS as a second personal statement. If …
@nicole.hopkins Yup. My mentor had the option of transferring to Yale her 2L year (decades ago) or getting on law review. She chose to stay at U of M, got on law review, graduated Order of the Coif (or however it's pronounced), and did just dandy fo…
So, uh, I'm, uh, in the super super minority here but I erase ALL the time -- even on the actual test. For me, if I see too many markings on my page, I get super confused. I also write little notations to help me remember things in the moment so not…
@nicole.hopkins Haha no, I didn't meant to you. I just addressed you because you raised the question but I was speaking more broadly. Gurl, I'm excited for us to be broke together -- public service ftw!! (not to hate on big law people)
@jdawg113 I …
@nicole.hopkins The 10 year federal loan forgiveness program, as I understand it, is that, if you work for the government or in any public interest role for 10 years and still have debt remaining, your remaining loan balance will be forgiven. Your 1…
The purpose of taking PTs is to gauge your understanding of the test. If you're remembering the answers and have an eidetic memory, then retaking PTS probably won't help you. However, there's no harm in retaking tests. Sure you're PT score might not…
Not to be TMI but, for a lot of people, part of the "what should I do to prepare for the LSAT in the last month" includes monitoring all bathroom activity (including bowel movements). Just something else to keep in mind haha
Ahhh dang it, well I hope my explanation was helpful regardless! Since I have a terrible short term memory, I try to minimize the amount of "remembering" I have to do and, if I can, I make boards because it's easier for me to visualize. Obviously th…
I uploaded the picture onto my instagram and tagged "7sage" to give you a better idea of what diagrams I drew out since it's hard to replicate it on the computer
@DumbHollywoodActor So I just did this game and it took me 10 minutes (probably would have been sooner but this is my first LSAT question of the day so my brain is definitely warming up -- I would ball park this at around 8 minutes if I had been doi…
Second what @nicole.hopkins said, per use. I think this is when a lot of people either 1) go back over existing material and see if that review fills any gaps in logic or 2) seek out other prep material for the same purpose. You definitely still hav…
Oh, that's interesting. When I make that kind of concrete deduction, I always make a second diagram instead of writing L/G because it forces me to "make" the switch instead of having to remember it. @DumbHollywoodActor, have you tried creating two s…
Hi @"Aiesha G.", to answer your question as to how "we do it," the majority of LSAT tackers don't have all the obligations you do -- working a full time job, working more than 40 hours a week, working at odd hours of the day, and taking care of a ne…

I've also been trying to utilize these more since it really is a way to represent two scenarios/splits in one diagram.
Can you elaborate on this? I always thought switches were usually given in the rules (F/G has to go in spot 1 o…
Can you elaborate on what you mean by switches? For some reason, I'm imagining those really cartoonish watches getting in the way of your LG studies lol
You can, but most people don't because it'd take 10 minutes (sign out, going to the bathroom, sign back in) out of your time in a section --- aka lsat death for most.

Q1: Yes! i absolutely time myself; i started with 1:24 per question, then did 4 questions in 5:36 (5 minutes 36 seconds), and worked my way up to 35 mins per sections. My Diagramming is alright, not the greatest, but it has imp…
Q1: When you take timed sections/drill, do you time yourself? For me, I noticed that my untimed strategies and timed strategies were totally different so it wasn't helpful for me to take untimed anything since they wouldn't translate over.
Q2: Can …

I think most people would look at a 13 point increase as a job well done and figure that they've hit their limit.
Nothing makes me sadder than when I hear that people think they've reached their "limit." I don't think the…
Hey soldier, just wanted to give you the headsup that you probably won't get a lot of responses since your asking people to break copyright contracts with 7sage.
Cambridge is still selling tests, if I recall correctly. Also, see this list: http://…
Hey @profile427,
My diagnostic was a 151, back in October 2013. I got a 166 in February 2015, which was a 4 point drop from my average of 170 leading up until the test. I've been studying for June about 15 hours a week starting in March and am ram…
Guys, I took a few hour break in between studying and it was glorious! Also, if you ever need good break material, I just watched an hour's worth of white house correspondent dinner roasts and laughed SO HARD that I think I made people mad in the l…
@DumbHollywoodActor : I do not meditated but have been more consistent about exercising. I should add meditation to the mix too
@basedvulpes: I'm in the 40s, 50s, and 60s (doing some from each). Shouldn't be because of shifting tests though because…
Yes! I've taken a lot of the PTs that have been BR'ed in the group thus far but I have not taken PT 60 yet! WOOHOOOOOO
@DumbHollywoodActor Perks (I guess?) of having nothing to do but the LSAT.
