The LSAT Skill Some People Will Tell You to Skip

We open with a bonus segment: Dean explains how he rebuilt 7Sage's free Admissions Predictor to account for the way your LSAT and GPA interact against each school's medians. Then the news. LSAC just stopped counting dual enrollment grades toward your LSAC GPA. If you took community college classes in high school, that could be worth real points, and you can request a recalculation. Devin, our student of the week, asks how to know what should be diagrammed on test day when practice sentences feel so much easier. Bailey covers the indicator groups, which question types reward diagramming, and when you're supposed to start caring about speed. We pull up his analytics along the way. On the admissions side, Devin is planning to write about a late autism diagnosis and worries he won't be taken seriously. Ethan and Pauline get into what admissions officers actually think when they read about a diagnosis, an addiction, or a chronic illness, and how to decide whether owning the story is worth the risk.

We open with a bonus segment: Dean explains how he rebuilt 7Sage's free Admissions Predictor to account for the way your LSAT and GPA interact against each school's medians.

Then the news. LSAC just stopped counting dual enrollment grades toward your LSAC GPA. If you took community college classes in high school, that could be worth real points, and you can request a recalculation.

Devin, our student of the week, asks how to know what should be diagrammed on test day when practice sentences feel so much easier. Bailey covers the indicator groups, which question types reward diagramming, and when you're supposed to start caring about speed. We pull up his analytics along the way.

On the admissions side, Devin is planning to write about a late autism diagnosis and worries he won't be taken seriously. Ethan and Pauline get into what admissions officers actually think when they read about a diagnosis, an addiction, or a chronic illness, and how to decide whether owning the story is worth the risk.
