Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for a study partner, I am going through the core curriculum again to gain a more thorough understanding of the sections and concepts. If you are a person that has been scoring high on practice tests and have mastered the concepts behind the questions, and would not mind helping me, please send me a message. Thank you!

"Restudying" the Test

Hi,

I took the test in August and am anticipating that I have to retake it again (I know I didn't so well). How do you you "re-study" the LSAT? It's like relearning the concepts I already know. Do I re-read and re-learn the concepts, or keep on practicing and watch the explanations video? I am in a position where I am stuck and don't know how to improve. Any tips would be appreciated.

From,

Jack

Law School Visits?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out if I should start scheduling law school visits. I wasn't sure if it is "a thing" for law candidates to visit school as much as it was for undergrad. I am still waiting on my August test scores which will give me a good idea of which schools I am really looking at, but do you all think it is a good idea to visit schools this fall? Since I am a spring sport college athlete, I won't be able to attend any accepted student activities in the spring, so I have to focus on that stuff this fall.

Thanks!

I received a score of 171 in 3 of my last 5 PTs, but I'm having trouble getting over this hump. My goal score is a 173 based on the new T-14 medians, and I'm not sure whether I should be spending my time before the October LSAT just taking PTs or drilling. I struggle the most with Inference questions in RC and Weaken questions in LR, and I have been drilling these with some improvement. I typically miss between 4 and 6 questions in RC, between 1 and 4 questions in LR, and typically go perfect or -1 in LG. I have gone as high as 177 during BR, but cannot score higher than 171 timed. Any tips would be appreciated!

I am wondering how other test takers stregically use the highlight function. From my understanding, this will be available on test day. I see in the lessons (especially logical reasoning), that circling strong words, underlining the conclusion, etc. is used. How do you all use the highlight function and what do you choose to highlight?

Thank you!

Study Schedule

Anyone have a good study schedule they're willing to share with me? Maybe like a weekly one, for example like Mondays is logic games and Tuesday is LR and how many hours do you spend on it. If that makes sense....thank you!!

New Medians - AHH!

Hi all!

I recently saw the new LSAT medians for some of my top schools go up considerably. I was in the 75 percentile with my LSAT score, and now I am at the median or below the median for some of my schools. I was strongly hoping for a scholarship, and felt that my current LSAT was good at the time I took it (June). However, now I'm not so sure, and it is too late for me personally to retake. Any suggestions or advice? If you were recently dropped to the median or even below the median for a school, is there any hope at all for scholarship?

Thanks all for the wonderful community !

Gosh I can't hold it anymore, I am taking the October LSAT, barely a month from now. All I wanna get is a 165, ideally 168. I practiced so hard for the whole summer, like a PT every two to three days and smashed the Bible trilogy and LSAT trainer. But my grades just keep fluctuating...

I went from a 147 diagnosic mark (2 months ago) to a 151 (a month ago) to 156 (two weeks ago), to a 160, BR 162 ( last week, PT 88). I was so happy, but I dare not to celebrate cuz I know whenever I am contented with my LSAT grades, something bad just follows right away. I put away my PTs and revisited the LR Bible cuz I feel like I can make the biggest improvement in a short period of time. And my grades started dropping, like till they meet the deepest point of Mariana Trench. My LG is pretty much stable, at the -6 to -4 range. But my LR just fluctuates SO BADLY. I was going from a -13 to a -5 over the past few months, but then it just happens that I went back to the starting point again... I tried three LR sections today, ends up -10, -12 and -12. What's happening out there... I reviewed the questions I got wrong, they are TERRIBLE CARELESS MISTAKES, if I had a second chance, I am definitely getting them right...

Can anyone give me some guidance on how to attain stable grades in LR? I don't know why but every time I broke my record, I just restart everything and need a whole week or two to get to another peak. I am so frustrated right now. My poor little heart... I'm so afraid that I will be performing like this in the actual LSAT...

I've been studying for 2 months now, but I'm not sure if that studying is helping at all because of my PTs! My raw score seems to be decreasing...with every PT. I'm freaking out. Can someone please advise me on where I need to focus my studying to see increases?

7/31- PT 80: 158 (RS: 70/101)

8/7 - PT 81: 157 (RS: 69/101)

8/21 - PT 82: 153 (RS: 63/101)

9/4 - PT 83: 157 (68/101)

My strongest section right now is RC: 21/27(PT 80) , 18/27 (PT 81), 20/27 (PT 82), 20/27 (PT 83)

LG: 18/23(PT 80) , 19/23 (PT 81) ,14/23(PT 82), 16/23 (PT 83)

LR: getting lazy with writing it out but it ranges from 13 - 15 right on the "harder" LR section, and 16-18 right on the "easier" LR sections

Please help me. I don't get why my scores aren't increasing when I'm studying so much. When do you start to see gains/increases in your PTs after studying for so many hours? I'm not seeing progress...

Am currently starting on the RC section and have decided to start from the hardest problem set and work backwards. My rational is that am excited to start RC, so I want to improve on the hardest sets first, thereby allowing me to gain momentum toward the end with the easy sets.

Hello all,

I am currently PTing around the 157 mark, a vast improvement from the 143 I started with. However, I plan on taking the October exam with a goal score of 163-165 which should comfortably put me in range of my goal school(s). On BR, I am able to hit that goal with relative ease and sometimes sneak into the high 160s. I am able to finish each section with time constraints, but often my worst section is RC (avg -9) followed by LG and LR which range from (-3- -7). Any advice on narrowing the gap between my timed score and BR score?

I BR every question except games I'm positive I got a prefect score on, which might inflate my BR score.

Just in case it helps anyone’s spirits, I struggled for 3 years with the LSAT and never got a high score. But I got into my top choice school and got straight A’s my first semester. Now I just have to keep my foot on the gas pedal.

Hi,

I have an international transcript sending to LSAC. When my school send the transcript they use DHL shipping which cannot ship to a PO box address. So they send my transcript to

Law School Admission Council

662 Penn Street

Newtown, PA 18940

USA

But it seems LSAC has different departments. (LLM JD and maybe Tax/HR department) And I guess some front desk has received my transcript package. They tracking records showed it has been delivered 10 days ago but I received Nothing confirmation from LSAC.

Do you think the transcript department will still able to get my trancript?

I am really worried now.

Thanks

So here's some context:

I started studying for LSAT 2 weeks ago and got a 158 on my diagnostic. Main weakness being RC (by far).

And I want to know if it's a good idea to skip through parts of core curriculum like the LR problem sets to quickly get to sections I actually struggle on. I'm planning to take LSAT during next cycle.

Thank you all

Dear Admin - hi.

Hey guys, kinda in a dilemma. I took the August LSAT with only going through about 35hrs of 7Sage lessons. I'm fully prepared to cancel that score and I already signed up for the October LSAT, which I should be done with all the 7Sage lessons before taking that one. I’m not sure if I should take it a 3rd time in November, I’m afraid I won't score in the range I desire for my applications with the October test. The deadline to sign up is Septemeber 29, before the October test so that's why I’m stressed. Is this a bad idea? Or is trying for a higher score with more practice in Novemeber the right choice? #Help

I've taken the june 2021 flex, and august 2021 test. I'm also signed up for oct 2021. I just want to confirm that, if i chose to, I would be able to sign up for the nov 2021 test too? Since my june 2021 test is not counted in this current cycle, at least based on my understanding of the below (from lsac's website)

"Starting with the September 2019 test administration, test takers will be permitted to take the LSAT:

Three times in a single testing year (the next testing cycle begins with the August 2021 test and goes through the June 2022 test)."

I have been studying for 3 months now and have been struggling significantly. Yesterday I was Diagnosed with ADHD and was prescribed Adderall which I am a bit hesitant to take. I am wondering if any one here has bee diagnosed with ADHD and either takes their medication or doesn't, and how it affects them when it comes to studying.

Also, are you going to ask for timing accommodations on the LSAT? Do you know if this affects our chances of getting accepted at a school or even a job in the future? How will this look on our record if we use accommodations?

Is this for me?

Hey yall I just felt like venting on here for a minute, hoping someone might relate to this. I've been studying everyday for the last month for about 5-8 hours a day and honestly feel more like an idiot then when I started. This entire process of studying for this test has just been an endless pit of depression and anxiety. Which brings me to ask this question is this for me? I of course want to be a lawyer and I wouldn't be putting in this effort if ,I didn't really want it but at some point I may have to be realistic with myself. I got a diagnostic score of 141 last month and felt pretty defeated however I gave myself a break and really put all my time in money into trying to increase my score. I've gotten better at understanding question types and really getting a grasp on thinking this way but not enough or as quickly as I need to do well. Also due to family pressure I'm forced to take the October exam so I have a month left to understand this material which I think we all know is not feasible. So I'm most likely going to bad on that and that comes with its own set of issues but I think you all get the gist. Who knows if I'm at your local McDonald's taking your order be kind and put the rest of your change in the tip jar I'm going to need it.
