Aiming for 162, is it possible to increase my score by 7 points by the June test? I have gone through the core curriculum 3 times and have been stuck around 155 for weeks on the PTs. How can I improve? Should I invest in an lsat book or another online program? Average -4 LG, -7/-8 LR, -11 RC.

Hi Everyone,

I'm supposed to start law school in New York City in the Fall, but I'm genuinely confused about what I should do now. The idea of paying a ton of money to potentially be taking online Zoom classes seems like such a waste.

I'm curious what other people's thoughts are who are in similar situations?

Just for transparency, I have been in the work force and out of undergrad for 4 years, so I do have the safe option of just staying at my job. I know it is a different situation for those of you coming straight out of undergrad.

Thanks!

Hi all, I’m considering purchasing the LSAT Prep Plus from LSAC. I was wondering if anyone has any feedback regarding it? Has it helped you? Do you have any criticisms? TIA!

Good Morning Everyone,

I am taking the July LSAT, and I remember in one of the videos JY discussed in a rc passage explanation that you should do a warm up before doing questions. I was wondering if anyone does a warm up routine before the LSAT, and what should it be?

Hope everyone is doing well! Not sure if this has been discussed but I notice certain patterns/trends that are helpful in making a jump from 140 to 150 and I’m curious if any of you could share tips/insights that helped get into the 160’s and more specifically 165+ range. Aside from LG which I believe fool proof is key, study tips for LR and RC that helped with this would would be appreciated!

Should I do a Prep-test throughout studying (i.e. halfway through or 1/3 way through) to gauge my growth and see what I still need to focus on or should I leave them all till I'm finished studying? What are your thoughts?

During my last PT, there was some kind of glitch in my LR section. I was not able to see all of the answer choices and was shown only 3 answer choices for some questions or just 1 answer choice. I tried scrolling up (sometimes the answer choices are long) to see more but that didn't work either. I had to stop my PT and do a timed BR and then actually do BR. I'm not too sure if this has happened to anyone but if so, how did you solve this problem?

Thank you.

Hey all,

Can we think that "confusing a possible solution as the only solution" to be similar to "confusing the sufficient for necessary", or is there another nuanced difference between the two that I'm not quite catching onto?

Should I do a PT the day before my For-Real-Test?

Hi all,

I had a few quick questions about conditional statements.

Say we have A --> B.

I know that if A is not met (sufficient) or B is met (necessary), I know that the conditional statement falls away (without needing to know the outcome of the other). But does falling away mean that the conditional statement is INVALID or that it is NOT TRUE (hence, false)?

Given A --> B, I know that the conditional statement is false if A is met but B is not met. But are there other ways for the conditional statement to be false other than the situation I've given above?

Thank you!

Are there requirements for the room? Like we cant have any books or anything in there?

Hi,

So I tried taking a preptest on LSAC's lawhub (preptest 36 to be exact), and right after I took it, I saw my score, then went back to the library. When I clicked back on the preptest, all my answers, EVERYTHING, was erased. It was like I never even took the test.

Anybody else having this issue, and if you found a way to solve it, please reply!

Thanks!

Best regards

Any information?

We want to let you know about a pre-law summer program (online this year, thanks Covid) from Duke Law school.

It's hosted by Prof. Neil Siegel who also happens to be the professor behind our Constitutional Law Explained course. He's been running this program for a few years now.

The program takes place over two separate two-week sessions. You'll get to take law classes with Duke Law professors and meet special guests like U.S. Senator Mike Lee and Dana Remus, Chief Counsel of the Biden for President Campaign and Former Deputy Counsel and Deputy Assistant to President Barack Obama.

More information and registration here.

Hi! So I recently cancelled the June LSAT Flex option in exchange for a coupon. I was wondering how do you access the coupon? Is it going to be visible in my account? Or is it something that would be automatically applied when I register for the next test? I scanned my account and there is no coupon visible. The prior 'registrations' have been removed however, so they have modified the account. I had emailed LSAC requesting for the cancellation and they replied saying that they had processed it. But they did not respond to how I could access the coupons. In the email, they basically said that a coupon had been 'added to your account' but no further information was given.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey! I am just starting in my LSAT journey and I am looking for someone to study with and become accountability partners. I am aiming for the August 2020 test. My diagnostic score is a 157. I am flexible with study times, and I am usually always available and easy to reach. I need someone willing to commit. We can use zoom, google meets, Face time, and call/text. Anything that could get us to that target scores is okay with me! Oh, I'm in EST.

Hi Guys,

So you know how J.Y. and other tutors stress the importance of doing preptests in a way that mimics the test conditions for the day of the actual test. In my case, I have to travel (actually board a plane) to take the test at a testing site that I have never been to. Has anyone had to do the same? How does one prepare for that in the sense of reducing test day anxiety, etc.?

Hey guys! I see a lot of people mentioning how the lSAC gpa is different from the cgpa! Some people have even mentioned the difference. How can I see the difference for mine. My cgpa IS A 3.9 and I already submitted it to LSAC, but I don't see anything about the gpa changing. Can someone please tell me how to figure it out. Thanks!

Does anyone know if the practice tests on 7sage are exactly the same in terms of the different colors of highlighting, underlining; etc. For reading comp, i find it easier to map out the where, what term shifts. So if anyone could give input on this would be greatly appreciated. :)

Lsac gave us instructions for flex. My start time is 120 does that mean i start validation process at 120 or before so they try to start my test at 120?

Also how long do yall think the verification process will take?

Hi Everyone!

Does anyone happen to know if the actual testing window of the LSAT-Flex can be made full screen like the 7sage digital tester can be? I tried familiarizing myself with the format on LawHub and I could not find a way to make the test window itself full screen, the best I could due was make it about 2/3 of the screen. I really do not like that, I find it distracting to have the LSAC window showing up all around the test that I am trying to work on. It seems very strange the real LSAT would not take up the full screen, I would think it would be much easier to cheat if there could be other things on screen? However, I have not been able to find anything conclusive either way. Any insight would be much appreciated, thank you!

Hello 7Sage, I was wondering if the better strategy to maximize your score would be to finish the core curriculum (I'm currently on the invalid arguments part) or to start taking practice tests now. Moreover, if I were to start taking practice tests now, how often should I do them? I received a 146 diagnostic score. I'm not in any particular rush since I don't plan to apply until Fall 2021 and I have this entire summer just to focus on studying. Thank you for your help!

My goal for the LSAT is to score a 160. I plan to take the LSAT-Flex on May 22nd.

To give background about myself, I started out as a 128 in late 2019. I have been scoring in the early 150 range for months. I continued to hammer my problematic areas, and today I got a 161 on a PT! I am really excited and hopeful! How would some of you recommend I go about this last week before the test? I had 2-3 practice tests scheduled before then, and I figured I would continue to practice the areas I struggle with. Is there any other advice to avoid any potential burnout after such a leap? I do not want to forget anything.

Rc is killing my score. LG usually -1 - -3, LR -3 - -6, RC I always miss 12-13...... I dont miss these questions during blind review though... something isnt adding up.

Hey everyone! I had a quick question about problem sets. While going through the core curriculum, should I be doing every problem set at the end of a unit? I have heard from some people that it can be advisable to save some of them to work on weak points once I start PTing. What do you think is best? For example, for MSS questions, there are 12 problem sets available. How many should I be doing before moving on to the next section? Thank you for the help.
