hey all,

If your like me and in the weeds of applying, just took the LSAT, or just stressed about this process, I would like to just share a bit of advice, as someone who has a lot of experience with anxiety and catastrophizing.

1. What's done is done. It's very easy to look back on this time and see the "missed opportunities" or the nights when you could have spent an extra hour studying or the info session you should have attended. that's all in the past and you can't let that impact you now. Even if you feel like you could have done more, you can't let that stop you from controling what you can now.

2. This process is not all black and white. Even if you did not get the LSAT score you want, or your applying later than wanted, all this will "possibly do" is hurt your application a bit. This doesn't mean that you won't get into the school you want or, hopefully your mind isn't there, that you won't go to law school. It's not a light switch, it's a dimmer.

3. Appreciate your progress. Myself, I know that I could have done better on the LSAT. But I also know I used to guess on half the questions in RC, that it would take me an hour to finish a LR section untimed. Now, if I guess on one question, I see that as a defeat. This is one of the most unintuitive, complicated, and demanding entrance exams out there and it takes a certain type of person to make any progress and stick with it.

4. Take everything one step at a time, if you focus on getting to the peak then your doomed to fail, just focus on taking one step then the next one.

Had a bit of wave come over this morning and I find this line of thinking always helps me and it makes me feel good if I can try practicing what I preach so this is advice for me too!

Best of luck all!

Good evening everybody!

I hope everyone is having a good start to the week. I need some feedback or guidance on how to go about my personal statement. My overall basis is going to be discussing on how I am interested in corporate law, contracts, estate planning and family law. The business side is because my degree was in accounting and I want to learn the basis behind corporations making deals but also protecting themselves. I am interested in family law because I feel a sense of protectiveness over family’s especially children. They are some of the most vulnerable members of our society and I wanna be a protector for them and ensure they get the care and support they need.

My issue comes from how I am supposed to start the statement. “Hi my name is Natalie and I’m interested in law school” or “business and family law are key interests for me”. I’ve only begun starting and I already feel like I’ve hit a wall. I understand I don’t have to write a sob story, not that I have one anyways to write, but I just wanna say “I’ve wanted to learn more about how our system works and how it’s apart of everyday life. I also wanna help people and ensure they don’t get taken advantage of” .

I also don’t have the ability to afford a tutor or someone to review my statement and give me feedback, so if anyone has any recommendations I would appreciate it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and any feedback would be welcomed. Thank you for reading! -Nat

Any tips for supplemental essays?

Will there be office hours for October LSAT test takers?

Downtown Chicago (N. LaSalle St.) Prometric Center: October LSAT Experience & Tips

For anyone scheduled to take the LSAT at the downtown Chicago Prometric center on N. LaSalle Street, here is a quick breakdown of my experience this past Saturday. While the actual exam portion was highly organized, the initial check-in was quite hectic. I strongly recommend arriving at least 45 minutes early, if not sooner. If you cut it closer than that, the long check-in queue can add a lot of unnecessary stress right before your test. My slot was on a weekend, so it was likely more crowded than a typical weekday, but it is definitely something to keep in mind. Also, be aware that the 10-minute break between sections 2 and 3 flies by much faster than you would think, so watch the clock closely when stepping out to use the restroom or access your locker.

The actual testing room was great. The chairs were comfortable, the temperature was pleasant, the computer system ran smoothly, and I wasn't nearly as distracted by people coming and going as I thought I would be. However, I highly recommend bringing your own non-wired, foam earplugs (I got mine from CVS) because the over-ear headphones provided by the center are not great.

As a naturally anxious person, my nerves made it tough to focus on the first 2–3 questions. To handle this, I flagged those questions right away and moved on, which allowed me to easily return to them later once I had settled into a rhythm. I also found great benefits from practicing box-breathing between sections to reset my heart rate. For the break, make sure to pack a quick snack. Another poster recently mentioned that our brains run on sugar and the LSAT is incredibly draining, so I brought chocolate chip granola bars for a quick energy boost. Also, remember to peel the labels off your plastic water bottle before you arrive. I saw a few people get called out for this at check-in, and it’s just another minor, avoidable stressor you don't want to deal with.

Finally, don't be afraid to make a little bit of quiet small talk with other test-takers while you wait in line. Everyone is nervous, and cracking a quick joke or sharing a kind word really helped ease my own anxiety. We are all in the same boat, and it is easy to forget that. Trust your preparation—the fact that you are reading this shows you already care more than the average test-taker, and you should be incredibly proud of that. Good luck!

Hello Expert! I am a prospective international applicant from Bangladesh. I am currently pursuing a two-year LL.B. Professional degree and wish to become eligible to practice law in California.

Before applying to any U.S. LL.M. program, I would like to understand whether my Bangladeshi legal education may satisfy California’s foreign-educated applicant requirements.

Could you please advise me on the following?

1. Whether my two-year LL.B. Professional degree, together with my prior BBA degree, may qualify me to take the California Bar Examination.

2. Whether I would need to complete an LL.M. at an ABA-approved or California-accredited law school.

3. What credential evaluation, transcripts, and other documents I would need to submit.

4. Whether I can request a formal eligibility evaluation before enrolling in a U.S. law school.

I would be grateful for guidance on the appropriate procedure and applicable requirements.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,

Abu Asad

Country: Bangladesh

Hi all, I'm signed up for the October LSAC JD Digital Law School Forum that starts tomorrow (13th), 4-8pm, and I am wondering if anyone has attended one of these before? I'm not sure specifically what to expect, I won't be applying until (next) cycle, (Fall 2027) but I'm always overly prepared lol.

Any guidance, tips, tricks, hints, suggestions, anything, send my way please!

I’m looking to help someone out that is just beginning on their LSAT journey or just someone who would like to talk through some questions with.

For context I’m about 8 months into my studying journey going from a 143 diagnostic to a 162 real in September and 166 average on PTs. I am no where near an LSAT expert (hence the free haha) but I have made significant improvement and feel like I have some fair advice to offer.

What do I get out of it? I have always been able to master skills when I can teach them to others. I think this would be helpful as much to me as to you!

Just feel free to send me a message or drop a comment below!

This is my fourth attempt. For a solid eight months I've been studying for this retake while having this lingering doubt in my mind of "what if it all goes wrong again?"

But one of the greatest things I've learned through this process wasn't the underlying logic of LR or the structure of RC: it was being able to focus on the process and trusting the work that will bring me to tomorrow.

So if you're someone like me going into this test tomorrow or you're someone who already took it, trust yourselves that you have and will continue to make the right decisions. Trust yourselves that you've put in the right work that you can rely on when the going gets tough. Trust yourselves!

Hi everyone, I think I've cracked the code for understanding the difference between sufficient vs. necessary conditions. Ever since I've made sense of it, though, I've felt that every explanation video or workbook has just been making it more difficult for me to understand, so I wanted to provide my explanation in hopes that it helps other make sense of it too!

.

Necessary = condition(s) required for something to occur

example: Plants need sunlight to grow.

However, if a plant gets sunlight, does it GUARANTEE that the plant will grow? No.

--> Therefore, sunlight is a NECESSARY condition for plant growth, but it's not SUFFICIENT (enough).

.

Sufficient = condition(s) that GUARANTEE something to occur

example: If a plant is fed magic plant food, it will 100% guaranteed grow.

However, if a plant DOESN'T receive magic plant food, is it guaranteed to never grow? No.

WHY? = because they can still grow in the natural, boring way (sunlight, good soil, CO2, etc.)

--> Therefore, magic plant food is a SUFFICIENT condition for plant growth, but it's not NECESSARY

.

.

Let's take the example from a real question 7Sage gave us (PT123.S3.Q22)

.

"If the price it pays for coffee beans continues to increase, the Coffee Shoppe will have to increase its prices. In that case, either the Coffee Shoppe will begin selling noncoffee products or its coffee sales will decrease. But selling noncoffee products will decrease the Coffee Shoppe's overall profitability. Moreover, the Coffee Shoppe can avoid a decrease in overall profitability only if its coffee sales do not decrease."

.

The stimulus states:

Shoppe sells noncoffee (A) or coffee sales decrease (B) --> decrease in overall profitability (C)

.

So we know A and B are GUARANTEED conditions that will cause C, but is A or B the ONLY way you can get to C? No. 

(A and B are magic plant food, but magic plant food isn’t the only way you can get to C.)

.

—> Therefore, this answer choice is wrong: 

“If the Coffee Shoppe's overall profitability decreases (C) , either it will have begun selling noncoffee products (A) or its coffee sales will have decreased (B).”

.

Because if C occurs, it doesn’t mean it was DEFINITELY CAUSED by A or B (or even that A/B had to have occurred at any point). 

(In other words, if you see a grown plant, it doesn’t automatically mean it was given magic plant food.) 

.

Hope that makes sense!

Anyone know of a good place to get essay feedback, not too expensive?

Can anyone who is a night owl and took an early morning LSAT test tell me they didn't poop the bed??? Super nervous to take my test tomorrow. I usually wake up at 10 AM and even though I tried to fix my schedule before test day I woke up at 8, 8:30, and then 10 today.... There was NO time option for after 8 am... I was there the moment my scheduling opened too. :( Im planning on waking up at 6 am, taking an instant walk, eating a nice light breakfast, and then doing like 3 LR questions. I'm so scared about the morning being an issue I rented a hotel room just to be 30 minutes closer to the test site XD

We're given: The Ridge fire is lit. Rule 3 states "If the Mill fire is lit, the Well fire or the Ridge fire is lit"

- Since it's an "or" statement, only one of the conditions (Well or Ridge fires being lit) need to occur. The Ridge fire is lit, so why would we not be able to tell that the Mill is lit or unlit?

Thanks!

I take the LSAT again today. Now while I expect to jump some points. It won’t be a whole lot. I’m a reverse splitter, for reference I got low 15x, but I have a 4.12, what would be your advice to someone in my spot

Taking the LSAT for the first time in November and I can't seem to bridge the gap between my BR scores and timed scores. Tbf I started doing practice untimed and then moved to doing timed last week but I'm feeling super discouraged about my timed scores and don't know what to do. Any advice for getting better at timed is v appreciated

Do you guys warm up with both LR and RC drills on test day? I did 5-10 1-2 star difficulty LR questions before a PT and performed at my peak for the LR sections. I was wondering if y'all incorporate both LR and RC easy drills on test day or if that's too much. Any feedback is appreciated!

Is anyone else having trouble navigating the site? I'm trying to click on "Study" and access parts of the pop up (e.g. Learn, Practice, Analytics) but nothing is happening :( the page also freezes so the pop up doesn't go away even when I try to click off of it. Most other parts of the website aren't responsive either.

Reloading and restarting my device hasn't worked.

Does anyone have suggestions or people they have used for personal statement help? (Affordable) Does Brad Barbay do a good job (his is just so expensive to justify)?

I'm currently studying for the LSAT—I just finished the Foundations section and I'm about to start Logical Reasoning. My goal is to take the LSAT in a few months so I have everything ready to apply for the upcoming cycle.

Right now, I'm home all day dedicating my time exclusively to the LSAT, but I'm looking to start working. I study about 3h a day so the time Im not studying isnt too productive aside from when I workout. I know I can study more but to be honest at around that 3 sometimes closer to 4hr mark I think Ive learned as much as I can for the day. I'm torn between two very different paths and would love to hear from anyone who has navigated a similar spot:

• Option 1: A convenient, part-time job. It's close to home, very easy, and leaves me with plenty of time and mental energy to focus on studying. The downside is that it pays minimum wage and the experience won't really add anything to my resume. Its a gym front desk. Id do this for a few months and once I get a decent score on the LSAT I can then apply to the other job.

• Option 2: An entry-level legal position. This would be full-time and offer much better pay and relevant legal experience. However, between the commute and the standard work hours, it would be a significantly heavier daily commitment alongside with the gym which I do 6x a week.

My main dilemma: Should I take the easy part-time job for now, lock in a good LSAT score over the next few months, and then pivot to applying for full-time legal jobs once the test is out of the way? Or is it genuinely manageable to work a full-time legal job while still making strong progress on the LSAT and maintaining a consistent workout routine? If anyone has any experience they can share, Id greatly appreciate it aswell!

Hi All!

I'm taking the October LSAT in a couple of days, and I have a few questions! I've taken the LSAT once before, but I took it remotely, so this will be my first time taking it in person.

1. During the 10-minute break, how will I know how much time I have left if I need to go to my locker or use the restroom? Obviously, I won't have my phone with me. Are traditional watches allowed, or is there another way to keep track of the time?

2. What am I allowed to bring with me to the testing cubicle? When I take practice tests, I keep it pretty simple: water, paper, pencils, and lip balm. Will they let me bring lip balm in? Lol, I constantly bite my lips, so I always have it with me.

3. I know there may be people taking different exams at the testing center (MCAT, DAT, GRE, etc.), so I'm assuming people will be getting up and leaving at different times. I feel like I could get distracted by that. Do they provide headphones or earplugs, or should I bring my own earplugs? If you've taken the LSAT at a testing center, do you prefer the headphones or earplugs?

4. Any other tips? Pls LMK!
