Should You Even Apply This Year?
from The 7Sage Podcast
Do you change right answers to wrong ones, then dread blind review because it makes the second-guessing worse? And if you’ve already taken the LSAT and missed your goal, should you apply this cycle anyway or wait a year? In this episode, Alex, Bailey, and Ethan answer two listener questions from the LSAC forums. First, they break down every blind review setting on the 7Sage site, which ones to toggle off if you’re a second-guesser, and why you should only change an answer when you can point to evidence, not vibes. Then they dig into a student who went from the 130s to the 170s on practice tests, scored 155 on test day, and is getting pressure to “see where life takes you.” You’ll hear how to set your goal score, when it’s too late to apply, what a hidden pattern in practice test data can reveal, and when waiting a year actually makes you a stronger applicant. They also cover when you shouldn’t wait, and why your “why law” answer needs to match your career goals.
