Excuse me while I nerd-out for a moment. On the ballot today in Florida is Amendment 1 or Citizen Requirement for Voting Initiative, which would change the language of Florida's constitutional rules about voting from "every citizen of the United States... shall be an elector" to "only a citizen of the United States... shall be an elector."

C of U.S. --> E

vs.

E --> C of U.S.

The argument for the amendment: "The current language of the constitution states who CAN vote but not who can't (i.e. non-citizens)."

The argument against the amendment: "It's just another shady, low-key xenophobic tactic to suppress voters."

GOOOOO lawgic.

I'm taking the LSAT-FLEX on November 10th and I'm wondering when people took the LSAT writing? I haven't even looked at any writing examples or prepared whatsoever, my main focus has been the multiple choice... I'd rather focus my last 7 days improving on my score then take the LSAT Writing a couple days after but is this even an option? Would this delay my score? I don't see a deadline for taking the writing section

For those who are taking November, are you going to take a break from studying until the score release, and then either be all done with the LSAT or start studying again for January? Or are you going to keep studying until the score release and then go from there?

I have been studying on and off since May, and am taking the November flex as I have to take the November sitting for one school to even consider me, even if I am to rewrite in January. I originally started with Khan, hated it as I felt like I made no progress. No matter how well I did, studied, or practiced with Khan I could not get above 150. Stepped away for two-three weeks in August and then started again with 7sage + Kims lsat training guide in September. I also have a tutor who I talk with about once a week. I felt like I was doing well and then I had taken a practice test last week and scored 145. Completely bombed the reading comprehension.

Have I been wasting my time and money? For the schools I am applying to, I need about a 157 (Canadian schools). I had really good grades (double majored, multiple field schools), stellar resume, but just cannot seem to crack the 150. My plan is to write the November in order to just get it over and done with in order for one school to consider me, but am I going to be able to get to this 157 if my last practice test was 145? I am at a loss.

I am confused....I was under the impression you are supposed to be able to launch your lsat writing link 8 days before you write the exam. I am scheduled for November 11th yet today I still don't see the link to launch it.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone feels like the older LSATs are harder than the new ones. I always feel like it takes me so much longer to understand what if being asked of me and at times, it almost seems like there is insufficient information. The newer ones don't seem to require you to infer as much. Im just asking because I will be testing next Tuesday and I'm hoping the LSAT isn't going to return to its old ways of being super vague.

If anyone else is applying to a dual degree program, would you be willing to swap personal statements?? Or if anyone wants to swap a law School PS with my MSW PS that would work too.I could really use some suggestions or feedback on my PS.

I am truly nauseated by the thought of looking at one more LSAT question.

I am a few days before the November exam (my first LSAT) and after a steady 6 months of studying with no issues..... I have hit a wall. I can't read a full LR question, I cant remember passages, and my scores on the past 2 PTs have been well below my average. I have genuinely enjoyed studying up to this point, and for some reason am totally disgusted by this LSAT right now.

I work a really demanding job, so took this week off using PTO to study before the test. I am wondering if I would be better suited to not study to ensure I am ready for Saturday. For those who have experienced burnout - how many days of break did it take you to bounce back?

This is completely off-topic and has nothing to do with law school but I would appreciate someone's opinion. I am applying to do a dual MSW/JD program at Boston College and am a little confused by part of the prompt for the MSW personal statement. It says you should explain the relevance of past/current work experience to your choice of a major field. Does this mean your major in college?

Hi, hope all of you are doing well. I am here to ask some advice about my study method.

I am started to study LSAT since this May and trying to apply next year's application, but it doesn't seem feasible b/c my score is not improving. I started by 147, then raised to 150 around July, then no change. I'm just stuck in 150 (and drops to 149 sometimes). Also, even though I am keep practicing, I cannot get free from test anxiety every time I do my PT so worrying of losing my mind during the actual test.

Thus I am thinking is there any matter in my study method.

I'd done 3-4hr/day between may-august but doing 1-2hr/day right now. I know it is not a lot of study time, but I don't really have a choice as a college senior who is completing the semester right now.

Since I do not have lots of time to study per day, I am putting each section per week. (LR in the first week, RC in the Second week, LG in the third week) and trying to take the PT of each section at the end of each week.

Also, during the week, I usually read the books from Manhattan Prep, watch lectures from 7sage, and do practice from both 7sage and Manhattan Prep.

And since my score is not improving under this practice routine, I feel like I am wasting time, which is devastating.

If anybody have any suggestion about my study method I will happily hear that.

Thank You.

What is the general feeling about canceling an LSAT score? I'm a first-time test taker and I'm scheduled to take the Flex this month, but I've yet to achieve the score that I desire in PTs. Should I still take the test just for the experience, then cancel my score and continue preparing? Or should I just cancel the test altogether and wait to take it until I'm where I want to be? I don't care about being reimbursed for the test, and I'm fine with waiting until the next cycle to apply.

Also, if one decides to cancel their score after taking the test, does it also cancel the submission for the writing section?

If you have canceled a score in the past, it would benefit me greatly to hear about your experience.

Thank you!

Hey Guys!!

I've been studying for the past 9 months. And have consistently scored mid 160's in the past two months while PTing. For some reason Pt 79 my score dropped. Drastically!! I am talking high 140's :(

Anybody else have significant drip with PT 79. Or just have a huge drop in general. Is this common? Should I try not worry about it too much.

Hey Sagers,

Is there any way to remove or update answers on my Analytics page? It's showing I've only taken two exams (which I've never taken), with blank answers for each one.

Thanks! #help

i have noticed that my scores in LR and RC have dropped once I moved into the pts in the 80s. Does anyone know why this could be? For example last weekend i took pt 74 and got a 160 today i took pt 81 and got a 150 missed 2 in LG but did horrible in RC and LR. Are the pts in the 80s more difficult?

I have been practicing with a pen, but on my last practice test I accidentally wrote down a rule wrong. I caught my mistake quickly and scratched it out, but then it tripped me up for the rest of the game because of the visual clutter. What are your thoughts? Should I be using a pencil so I can erase when things like that happen? I know erasing large mistakes can waste time, but what about smaller things like copying down the wrong number in a rule?

Hi y'all!

I started doing my LSAT practice way back when. I felt like I hit a ceiling, then I tried 7sage and realized that I was gambling not solving. I have seen then BR religiously, doing the modules in my problem areas and seen the gains in my PT score. However, I wonder at what score should I consider a getting a tutor to focus to help me deal with my personnel individual problems?

If anyone could share their personal experience with tutors, it would be helpful!!!

So the digital forum is in a few days and I'm wondering if I should be preparing for it by researching the different areas of studies, externship/clinics, financial aid opportunities, etc. for the schools I'm interested in before going into the event? I'm wondering if it'll look really bad if I don't know much about the school when I talk to an admissions officer/school representative. Is this an opportunity to potentially "wow" them and leave a good impression? Or is basic understanding/knowledge of the school sufficient?

Also for those of you who've attended the October digital forum, were you able to speak with the dean/admissions member one-on-one or was it really difficult to?

Hi people,

I am taking the November FLEX and currently debating on whether to register for the January FLEX. This decision ultimately comes down to whether or not I will have my results before the registration deadline for the January administration (Dec 2nd).

I am wondering if I will actually know my result from the previous exam before the deadline. It seems plausible in this case because typically it takes about 3 weeks to get results, but LSAC being LSAC I would not be surprised if they announced scores on Dec 3rd, forcing me to pay another $300 for an LSAT I may not need to take (YAY LSAC).

Would love to hear what people think about this one.

I'm a bit new to this and don't know a lot. Is the writing section mandatory? Does it cost money and do you take it the same way as the LSAT (like having a proctor)? Looking for any info! Thanks(:

Hey! Since the flex test is now the official form for the next few tests, how should I do the preptests? Should I stick with doing full PTs or should I only complete one LR section and compute the score myself? I feel like only doing full PTs before the Oct exam threw me off when it came to doing the flex. Any advice for how to go about this?

I really hate this test. Like I really really do. But I finally beat it! I have three pieces of advice:

On RC, if you are struggling with time or around -5/-7, you're probably going back to the passage way more than you need. Try going back less. You'll save time, but probably not much accuracy.

Chill out on test day! My anxiety DESTROYED me (and my score) on the July exam. Part of my success on the Oct exam was that I had adapted a "f*ck it, what ever happens, happens" attitude after the emotional rollercoaster of the first two exams. I was able to focus on the questions on the test on Oct, instead of worrying about how the test was going while taking it. Try to calm down!

For LR, before July, I was getting -3/-4 purely on intuition. I hadn't really understood argument structures, indicators, etc. Starting to actually learn the logic of what was going on made me much more consistently score -1/-2.

Before my Jan exam: Khan Academy, Bibles, 7sage

Before my July Exam: 7sage (mostly PTs, not much curriculum)

Before my Oct Exam: Tutoring (DM me for info, I highly recommend my dude)

Standardized testing is a classist scam designed to gatekeep higher education. I despise the fact that the LSAT ruled my life for 1.5 years, but I'm immensely proud of myself for persevering. You can do it too!

My diagnostic was a 147!! It took me a month to get to the 150s, 3 months to get to the 160s, and alllll the rest to get to the 170s. YOU CAN DO IT! It will suck. But this test is learnable. You got this.

Hey everyone,

Anyone out there taking the Feb or April LSAT and looking for a study buddy/ acct. partner? I work full-time. Evenings are usually best for me. Please let me know if interested. I really want to do well & need help.

If you're retaking the LSAT and already have a writing sample on file, do you have to retake the writing section?

If anyone knows that would be helpful! Thanks!

I am currently registered for the Nov test but I think I want to take more time to study and take it in January instead. I’m really confused on how to change the test date on LSAC. Please help!
