Hi fam, I just finished my last exam of the semester, and I thought I'd return to this safe place and soak in the eagerness for law school that has been stripped from us 1L in the past four months. Oh and also to contribute to the community that has so graciously answered my questions when I was applying to law school. If you have anything you would like to ask about law school, please comment below. Judging from the memes on the Facebook group, my experience should be roughly the same as other 1Ls...

Where does the time constraint come from? Are we allowed to change it, or should we even?

I created a problem set with all the LR questions from 19 and it came out to 32 minutes, although it was only 24 questions.

Then I tried creating a set with the other LR section from 19 and it came out to 34 minutes, but with 26 questions. Does the time given to do the problem set reflect how long we should take when doing these questions during the actual test?

I sat in for July and November, just got my score back for November and only made one point higher. Should I try to take it one last time in February? I am applying for fall 2020. If I could get my score up just 5 or 6 more points it would almost guarantee I would get into my dream school. Meanwhile with the score I have now my chances of getting in are slim.

Hi how can I take one or two sections digitally and BR? Currently to take a section you have to start with sec 1 on a pt. how can i do like sec 2+3 digitally of a pt and not have to do sec 1

Hi all,

I am a senior graduating a semester early with a 3.75 UGPA from a top-30 undergrad and have very strong soft factors (varsity athlete, work with indigenous people, and worked with the ICC.) I was averaging 163 on PT's but got a dismal 156 on the November Test. I am curious if I should bother applying and hoping for the best or to just do a gap year and change my study methods? My goal is top 20. Currently planning on ED WASHU.

Hey friends, I just got my LSAT score back. I was looking through my item response sheet and two questions were blank where my answer was supposed to be. I know for a fact that I answered every singe question because I remember having time at the end of each section to check my answers. Should I contact LSAC about an error? I know there's probably very little to be done but damn.. I swear to god I answered every question.

Took the digital LSAT. I filled one question at the last minute but lsac did not credite with an answer. I am 💯 sure that I filled it. How do I dispute this? Please help.

When you hit your LSAT goal score, when your applications are in, and when you finally get accepted.

What do you do after, especially if you finish in lets say the early months for the next cycle admissions.

Hey guys, so I'm just about to go into year one of studying and recently started PTing.

This last month I decided to start PTing. I've completed 5 so far and have averaged 141 which is really frustrating. When looking through analytics a majority of loss is coming from RC and LR (averaging -16). I've considered going through the CC but I feel like I'm cheating myself because I've seen the answers for those questions already since I've done the content.

My question is what my plan of attack should be considering I'm set to write in march (might push it back if I start showing some dramatic improvement)? My goal score is 163. Also before it's asked, yes I've taken breaks from studying to avoid burning out.

Thanks for the advice, hopefully I start gaining traction soon!

Has this happened to anyone? Will I have to retake it? THIS SUCKS.

To Philosophy-major, Com-sci major, and Law school students,

I just finished watching the first videos of "Introduction to Logic" section of the course. I wonder if I should take Symbolic Logic as a course offered at my college. As far as my research goes, Symbolic Logic might be great for the LSAT, for future law-related endeavors (since I wish to go to law school), and computer-science-related endeavors (since I am a com-sci major), but I'm not sure to what percentage the course might help with those above it is purported to help, and if the percentage of helpfulness is low, then whether I should self-study those parts where the course is helpful.

Thank you!

I’ve already taken it and was wondering if I should take a diagnostic before starting to study again or if I could rely on my last official LSAT score as my diagnostic. It was last month’s administration so very recent. Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I just have a question about the course structure for the Ultimate+. After the core curriculum, there are 4 sections called Drills from PrepTests 01-09, Drills from PrepTests 10-19, Drills from PrepTests 20-29, and PrepTests 1-35. For each of these sections it shows "0 mins" next to each. Are these looked at as extra and not part of the main testing material?

How should I go about studying? By plowing through all of these sections labeled zero mins first? Or by skipping ahead to the first official PrepTest with a time next to it? My fear is a lack of time for finishing all the material so I'd like to be strategic in my approach.

Any advice on how to approach my studies?

I am currently in the middle of reading comprehension.

Thanks!

Nicole

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to take the LSAT this summer of 2020 (in either June or July). I would love to know the test dates so that I can plan my study schedule accordingly.

Does anyone know, based on past years, around which month the LSAC usually announces the summer LSAT dates? I just would like a general idea to know about how long I'll have to wait for this information.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! 😁

Nicole

I sense that the topic of my diversity statement might be somewhat unique and controversial. I like to gain some of your feedbacks. It would be great if someone who has already gone through the process of applications could take a look at it.

Thanks in advance!

So I just logged on to LSAC to see that the spell check function for the writing portion will be down from Dec. 13th-Dec. 20th... This is extremely frustrating because there was no email about it (atleast that I noticed) and I was hoping to complete it either today or tomorrow. I saw some comments saying that it has been taking about a week for the writing to get approved so now I have to wait until the 21st to take my writing meaning it won't reach the schools I'm applying to until atleast the 28th?!?! I'm almost tempted to take it without the spell check function but I know that'd probably be a mistake... has anyone else found themselves in a similar situation and are trying to figure out what to do?

Hey Everyone,

Okay so I have been using Prep Tests 1-35 as strictly untimed drilling materials. I have consistently been using these tests for untimed problem sets in order to increase my accuracy. I plan on starting to time myself some months before I take the test. From which PT should I start using for timed testing practice? I just don't want to use too many PT as untimed drilling material that I don't have more than enough PT to use for timed work. I hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance!

Hi guys ... I'm going to ask a relatively simple question that's been confusing me a lot.

I'm currently in doing the "How to Take a Simulated LSAT Test" (https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/how-to-take-a-simulated-lsat/) and that article provides the following information: The LSAT is divided into two 105-minute sections, with each 105-minute sections consisting of three 35-minute sections.

This is confusing because there are only five 35-minute sections:

I've only done 2 PrepTests at this point (without any writing practice yet) ... so I've been splitting my test into two 70-minute sections with a 15 minute break. Is this the correct way to practice?

Also, while I'm at it, is the above order of sections standard? I remember Logic Games coming first on my diagnostic, not last.

Thanks for any clarifications!

I was reading online that Georgetown guarantees to respond to Early Decision applicants in less than 4 weeks after they apply. How does the interview fit into this timeline?

in other words, does that just mean they will tell you if you get an interview within 4 weeks? Or will they interview you, and then also tell you if you get in.

thank you!!

I'm looking for a paid tutor / high scoring study buddy to help me push from 158/160-170+ by the March test. I did look at the official tutor page with no luck yet so I thought I'd make a public post.

I need the most help with LR then RC. I am BR'ing at about 170 which is great. However, between now and March I do feel like I need someone who can make personalized explanations with me and bring experience and instruction that I can't yet bring myself.

Please DM me and we can discuss rate and times. Thank you!

Hi, guys.

I took the November LSAT and they haven't announced the date of the test result yet. Is there anyone who knows when the result comes out?

Hello everyone I need some help with an issue I have been struggling with. Any input would be great.

Back story:

I graduated high school in 2007 and started community college

and i am currently doing both and plan to get my associates fall 2019 and bachelors in may 2020

Since 2007 I have been the worst at yoyoing through my enrollment. Most semesters I would start and stop college for whatever reason (i have a lot of Fs from not showing up and Ws because i would withdraw before the date)

I started University in Fall 2018 and will graduate with a 3.8

My community college grades are weighing my 3.8 to a 2.7 total

Here is my question.

I can take some courses over and raise my gpa to a 3.0 (this would need to happen in spring 2020 or I can keep it and invest the time into studying for the LSAT. I plan on taking it in October/November 2020.

So i either take some classes and not start studying until May

Or just write an addendum and use the time to study for the LSAT.

(I have already asked the schools about changing to withdraws and its not possible)

Will we get pt89 before the Jan test?

My PT scores are stagnating in the low 160s while my BR keeps increasing with each test (now in the mid-170s) and I don't know why! Any advice you have about how I can get this improvement to show in my PT scores would be really helpful. Currently my strongest section is RC and most inconsistent/weakest is LG.

If a person was diagnosed with bipolar disorder several years after taking any standardized exam is it worth seeking accommodations for the LSAT?
