What are your strengths, weaknesses, and current/target scores? When are you testing? I study about 5 days a week and my schedule is very flexible.
-
I haven't seen anyone recommend skipping an entire passage. I've also watched Nicole Hopkins' video on RC and she said that you absolutely should do every passage, and in order.

I believe the average is 8 min and 45 seconds (including filling in the answer sheet bubbles). If you take 4 minutes to read, you'll have about 4.5 min for about 6 questions. From that breakdown, I would budget 4 min to read and about 45 seconds per…

Any of the exams on this list are not going to be easier than average haha. https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/9401/14-pt-curve-list

Hey! Low 160s here. I'd be willing to go over anything! My strength is RC-- usually getting -0 or -1 on the hardest passages on BR. LR and LG... depends on the question. I struggle the most with weakening questions and MSS questions that have super …

Oh, God. DO NOT lie on your law school applications. As mentioned above, if any part of your application does not represent the truth, and someone finds out about it, you can be kicked out of law school. Do you want to go through 3 years of law scho…

It is very likely that it happens. But the people that happens to likely have something stellar on their application and a near-perfect GPA.

"...if you’re a particularly nervous type, can even result in you panicking about not studying while simultaneously making excuses not to study." Tell me something more true. I dare you. @AlexRexeger @bcallahan95

I think that if you want to live outside of the US after you go to law school, you should get your degree outside of the US. I will also point out that California, NY, and a few other states let you practice law with a foreign degree-- granted you s…

@tommyjonk... seriously? Did you join 7Sage just to advertise?
-
So I know I'm not going to be able to answer all of your questions here, but I would 10/10 recommend a few things: Nicole Hopkins' Reading Comp video. I can't get the link to post right, but YouTube "It's Hammer Time LSAT". Webinar on strengthenin…

@"Lucas Carter" I believe it is open for July test takers only. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
-
I would postpone. You can transfer your test date or straight up cancel it. The benefit to transferring is strictly financial, and the test date has to be currently open for registration.
-
I would write like a paragraph on it, just because your app is a legal document, and you have to sign that everything on (and not on) it is accurate. But seriously, I doubt any admissions committee would be shocked that an undergrad student got caug…

@Giselle112 I love this! Thank you so much!!
-
I can't speak to the Harvard issue, but have you looked into therapy for the anxiety? Even as a temporary thing just to tackle one issue, therapy can be really helpful.
-
@wrasschaert can we do something in the low 60s, even if it's not for this weekend?
-
@AudaciousRed what's Khan Academy like? I saw it on LSAC's website.
-
@keets993 that's true; I may also retake in November.
-
I swear, the next time I get an MRI, JY's picture will show up.
-
@LivingThatLSATdream I totally agree with you when you essentially said that you can be just as efficient as a lawyer. You can easily stand up while having a discussion at work/with a client. That doesn't make your time less valuable at all. And lik…
-
Welcome! I agree with @"Leah M B", too. Wait on the question bank until you've exhausted the CC question sets.
-
I think it depends on how well you are doing compared to how well you want to be doing. If you have exhausted all of 7Sage's available resources, and you're still not hitting your target score, the only thing you're risking by purchasing a book is w…
-
@lemmegetuhhhh no, that makes sense. I was thinking about hiring in terms of you hiring someone for a law firm or something, not being a defendant/plaintiff. I would want to hire a more efficient person, too. I guess I just took what you said person…
-
@OlamHafuch to clarify (because I'm really not trying to be an asshole), what I meant was that saying that you wouldn't hire someone who has a disability is bullying. Also, I do believe that the LSAC is a huge part of the problem here because the on…
-
@keets993 that makes sense. Thanks! I'm going to focus on drilling in the 60s and PTs in the 70s, since I'm testing in September.
-
@stepharizona thank you!! Plus, the passages are always on the left side, so if you don't highlight in the answer choices, you're only risking bleeding onto questions you've already done.
-
@lemmegetuhhhh well you can choose to not hire someone with a disability and then be involved in an ADA-related lawsuit. So I hope you never choose to do that. But if you hire someone who needs extra time to write a bulletproof contract or change a …
-
@lemmegetuhhhh there is literally nothing you could say to convince me that everyone needs to test under the same conditions-- even time conditions. It doesn't even work that way in the real world. People can get disability accommodations in law sch…

Ok! Thanks for letting us know earlier in the day.
