Hi guys. I know its not recommended to work during law school, but what are you expected to do for living. Like you could stay with parents, but if the law school is hours or miles away how are we expected to pay for living expenses without working? I know some schools its not even allowed for 1L students to work. I will be going to law school straight out of undergrad, so I just need some insight or opinions.

Hi everyone- I'm preparing for the October LSAT and was wondering how I should get my room ready for the exam. I know there shouldn't be any electronics but I also have a bookcase filled with pictures and books. Should I clear that? What else should I make sure isn't in my room? Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share that I got my first 180 on a PT! It wasn't a fresh PT, it was the same one I used for my diagnostic many months back, and even though I remembered very few of the questions I'm sure that inflated my score to some extent. I was given the advice to retake old PTs during my last week before my test and I'm mainly sharing this to let you all know that it's good advice I'd recommend. It helps boost confidence which is essential going into game day and still lets you practice pacing and the like without burning yourself out in the last week. Definitely found it worthwhile for myself and would encourage others to try as well. It's particularly fun retaking your diagnostic to remind yourself how much you've grown over the course of your studies.

Good luck to all my October brethren. Rooting for y'all!

I was doing PrepTest 29 - Section 3 - Game 4 and felt pretty good going through the board set up (split it into a couple game boards and had basically figured out the whole game -- or so I thought). However, it was only when I tried to do question 21 ("Complete list of classes for Gemena") that I realized that the answers available were not part of what my possible game boards allowed. I then realized that I had misunderstood a step (particularly the "Kate is the first female but not the first student to attend a class" rule.)

Naturally, I went back and redrew my game boards because I wasn't keeping strict time, but if I were to find myself in a situation similar to this on test day, what would be the best solution?

-Is it worth it to start the game from scratch at the expense of time?

-Am I better off going through the rules and trying to amend what I mistook?

-Or should I bite the bullet and keep going through the games, all the while keeping note of the mistake I've made?

So I requested 50% extra time and got that but I was wondering if anyone with Adhd has requested 100% extra time and whether or not it was approved. Thank u

I scheduled my LSAT for Tuesday the 12th, but I thought I saw something out there say that its for people who are taking it on paper or something. Is it ok that I scheduled it for Tuesday?? Will it be normal?? Has anyone else done it on Tuesday?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Hello everyone,

I had a question for those who have practiced with the LSAT writing Get Acquainted tool. I was under the impression that with Get Acquainted, they would give you a prompt and you could practice writing an essay about that prompt. However, every time I launch Get Acquainted, it does not give me a prompt to write about... I am a little confused because I wanted to practice with a prompt before doing the real thing.

Regardless, are there any websites where I can find previous LSAT writing prompts? I just want to familiarize myself with how the prompt will be like before I do the actually writing sample.

Thanks!

I took a couple of LSATs over the weekend with my scores being 157 and 158 respectively. I am set to write the November LSAT and my goal score would be in the 160s. Currently, my strongest section is LG with an average of -1 to -2 on timed games and 0 on longer or untimed. LR and RC tend to fluctuate as under timed conditions, I tend to forego anything type of strategy I have.

Any advice on how to take back control of LR and RC to break into the 160s?

Thank you :)

I am a native speaker and I find that JY speaks at very fast pace. Sometimes it's okay and sometimes it gets frustrating and he loses me. How can I slow it down?

I take the November test and need to score at least 160. Basically need to raise my score 15 points within this month. Has anyone else done this before? Were you able to raise a significant amount of points within 1 month? Any motivation and positive feedback will help

Hi,

I totally have no idea about how to solve game 4, the five hats are displayed in a boutique one. Does anyone can share how you solve it?

Im considering buying extra "newer" tests to practice on.

Input appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey everyone! I was wondering if people had any takes on the strategy of answering easiest questions first? What’s the minimum amount of time you’ll spend on a question before skipping it in the LR and RC sections? My most recent pts have been pretty consistent in the logic games but RC has been -3 or 4 about half of them and -8 or 9 on half and then LR have been -0 to -4 on most and then a few outliers of -8 and I feel super stressed throughout the sections I struggle on. Could that be because I’m getting in my head on early questions? Bizarrely have been discounting A and E on a lot of questions when I get down to guessing. Anyone feel like making a serious effort to get the easier ones first make a difference?

Hello -

When in undergrad, I figured I wanted a demanding job that looked good on my resume before law school. So I pursued my current job that I've been at for about a year now and it's more stressful than I anticipated. Especially for the past 5 months, I've been quite anxious and stressed about work. I know my main goal though, is to study for the LSAT and always tell myself to stop worrying about work and just focus on the LSAT. However, it's been hard lately for me to not think and stress about work. I've gotten some advice to set boundaries at work and to even not do as well of a job at work and focus on the LSAT. But I just hate the fact of doing a crappy job at work. I study before work and then if I have time after work I'll try to get some reviewing in.

I know other people have had even more stressful or demanding situations with kids, work, or something else. But I just wanted to ask if anyone has any advice for coping with work stress while studying for the LSAT? I'm fearful that the work stress will affect my LSAT studying.

Thanks!

I just logged onto my ProctorU account and ran the diagnostic to make sure I'm all good for taking the October LSAT next week (I'm quaking). Everything checked out except for my RAM on my computer, meaning that my laptop is using too much memory with Chrome open. Does anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it? I don't know what more I can do to solve this. I also have Clean my Mac, so I can monitor and clear out my RAM, but it always fills up in minutes. I don't want a technical issue to interfere with test day :(

My previous tutor who scored 176 on the LSAT Flex and attends HLS now submitted the following wrong answer journal to me. Currently, this is the template I use to to visually represent my reasonings for LR and RC sections. Could you please share yours as well? I have seen folks use Excel, table, etc to do it but personally, I like what I currently use the best.

MP+MC Pset 1: LSAT 35 Question 9

Prephrase: Not intended to be in accordance with formal set of rules → reason did not play a role in the act → cannot be considered moral behavior

Hi all,

I've been studying all summer, completed the CC and did 5 timed PT's thus far. My goal score is a 161-163 and although I have been hitting that in all of my blind reviews, I've yet to break past a 156 on an actual take and I am not quite sure why... Upon BR I am consistently hitting -2 to -4 on RC, -2 to -4 on LG and -5 to -8 on LR, but the variance between my timed take and BR is significant.

I'm taking both the Oct and Nov LSAT and of course would like to score in my BR range, any tips on bridging this gap? It seems that its mostly nerves getting the best of me because the questions I typically struggle on in my timed take, I still I correct quite easily during BR, and I often get them incorrect the first time because I am second-guessing myself. The most gains I get from BR'ing are in RC and LG, I suppose because I feel more relaxed without time restrictions and don't feel compelled to rush?

Any tips to bridge that gap would be appreciated. As well as any tips to calm down nervousness, block out useless thoughts and improving confidence!

When these questions appear, I get really confused and have a hard time interpreting them, because they are so abstract. It feels like the author is trying to say something very all knowing and wise, even on silly subjects, but the language is hard to decode. Especially when morality comes up. Is there a way to train myself to solidify these concepts, or any techniques you can use. Greatly appreciated!

I don't see a place in lawhub for my OCT 2021 LSAT registration. Was the Aug 2021 administered on lawhub? Will the Oct 2021 be administered on lawhub? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I hope studying is going well! I was wondering if anyone knew what the "typical" range of variance from most recent average PT's compared to the actual test is? The PT average on my four most recent tests is a 165. I haven't taken the LSAT before (taking November exam), so I'm just looking for a little input on other people's experiences. Thanks so much!

I’ve noticed PT91 and PT92 have two LG sections each, but do we ever get this in the real exam?

Hello Everyone,

I'm taking the October LSAT and plan on taking atleast two more PTs before my test date, should I take the older PTs (I have a few late 70s high 80s saved) which have answer explanations uploaded, or take the newest tests even though they don't have the explanations up and just try and explain them to myself? I feel like there are benefits to both but I'd like to hear another opinion!

Hi,

My master program from Europe is still online due to Covid. The staffs are work remotely now. They told me they couldn't ship the paper transcript but they are able to send the transcript thorough email.

Does anyone know whether LSAC still accept email transcript?

Thank you so much!

Hey does anybody know what J.Y is using to write on screen with ( The electronic pen)???

I find it very useful for logic games the way you're able to delete/ copy master game boards

Taking Oct LSAT. My internet connection is just fine 99.9% of the time however it just went out and now I'm obviously stressed since it's too late to ask for accommodations. So my question is...what happens if the internet drops during the test? is it over?
