I was lazily scrolling through NBA instagram while procrastinating my BR and what with all of the free agency rumors and team changes going on, I noticed MANY conditional statements throughout as well as some slightly convoluted arguments/hypotheses.

Here are a few of the best ones I found that I wanted to share with you all, as proof that the LSAT invades every aspect of our lives!! Feel free to work out the logic translations if you want to. Hopefully some NBA fans (and maybe even non-fans) can find some enjoyment from this.

Starting off simple:

I'm also happy to explain/give more context to anyone who is curious about what in the world is going on.

I’m curious as to how long i.e. how many months you are studying for prior to taking the LSAT.

I've been studying since April. just took the June test, I wanted to use it as a benchmark to see how the test was/how I would do. I signed up for the July test, but after some studying I realized it might be better to wait until September to take it again. I missed the cutoff date for the refund though. Should I just take July and September or take the loss and cancel July?

With regards to Canadian Law schools should you let the schools know you are also taking the nov lsat if the deadline to apply is November 1st. Or will they be able to see that you are registered to take it . Thank you

Hi all,

Would love to hear anyone's thoughts on this. I have been studying for the last 6 months and am set to take the July test in a couple weeks. Depending on the score I get, I had planned on taking the September test as well. However, I just found out a dear friend is getting married on September 8th, the exact same day..

What are everyone's thoughts on taking the November test for this coming cycle? Is it too late? I will have already taken the July test, and will have already applied to most/all of my schools by then. Really curious if people think it is worth it to take the November test for the coming cycle with a July test already on the books.

Thanks!

I was originally scheduled to take the LSAT at Montclair State but got notified about a month out that I was rescheduled to a hotel in Newark (the Hilton I think) and that didn't sound appealing to me at all. I'd read too many LSAT hotel horror stories. I wrote to LSAC and they agreed to my request to change to Seton Hall (which is actually closer to my home) without issue or fee.

Proctors: My proctors were fine - a little whispery once or twice but nothing major. Felt very rote and by the book, no real issues.

Facilities: The test was held in Stafford Hall which is a new, clean building full of classrooms. There were probably about 20 people assigned to each room and everyone was pretty spaced out by a desk or two, not at all crowded. Desks were standard size, comfortable enough for booklet and answer sheet.

What kind of room: see above

How many in the room: see above

Desks: see above

Left-handed accommodation: n/a

Noise levels: My individual classroom was very quiet and the students were respectful and orderly

Parking: There was copious free parking in a parking deck very close to the test building

Time elapsed from arrival to test: This was the worst! My only major complaint was a ridiculous wait in a long line that went outside the building and wound down and around another building. I arrived at noon and waited in the already long formed line for a full 40 minutes before any one was let in the building. This sucked! It was hot and everyone was pretty edgy - it's a crappy way to lead up to the test, waiting forever outside standing in line with no updates or idea what was going on. Once inside - we quickly found our names and room assignments. Check in was smooth from that point forward.

Irregularities or mishaps: Nothing after long wait to get in.

Other comments:

Would you take the test here again? Sure - since the accommodations were good other than the ridiculous wait.

I have been PTing for several weeks after completing the Ultimate CC. However, I felt the need to upgrade to Ultimate + due to the lack of improvement. How should I proceed to study for the September LSAT? Should I redo the CC or simply finish the new Problem sets before PTing again?

Thanks!

Seriously, just brag about your progress-- big or small. Don't humblebrag; own it. Talk to me about your score increases, timing improvements, confidence boosts, etc. (Feel free to add in any tips!)

I quit my job to study LSAT(commuting was a burden so I thought this would be time-efficient). Which will give me a min.6months to max 1year blank on my resume. Will this be alright when I apply to law school? I am not young and it's been quite a while since I graduated so I'm concerned about this..even my previous career has nothing related to law. what do you guys think?

So I took PT 38 on Monday after taking a break for a week and getting back into the groove... I know it's not a huge improvement but I'm trying to celebrate small victories to help myself stay positive.

I had an 8 point jump from my diagnostic! I still have a lot of work to do before I hit my target score and BR goal but celebrating small victories has really improved my attitude. If I'm honest, the day before I took the PT, I was feeling so stressed and began losing my confidence in my abilities. I cried for a good hour then I told myself that I need to get myself together and do what I need to do. I'm happy with myself to see the strategies I've adopted for my second try is paying off and I hope everyone sees improvements as they progress in their studies (3(/p)

Do you look at all the answer choices if you know you are 100% certain on an answer choice before getting to E? There are many LR questions that I know are 100% right at choices A, B, or C (if I get to answer D I will go to E regardless, even if it goes against what this question is asking). I was thinking of just circling these questions and going back to them if I have time. Any thoughts would be much appreciated it.

I can’t decide, though I’m leaning towards Ultimate or Ultimate plus. I’m in the middle of the free trial and while it’s been helpful in a very general sort of way, I really need hands-on practice with a lot of structure... similar to “now do problems x, y, and z.” I know you must be thinking what is she a five year old... but I think this would work best for me. Are the courses structured along these lines (roughly)?

Hi All,

I am very close to being 50% done with the Core Curriculum. Is it a good idea to take a PT just to start getting into the habit of applying what I've learned thus far and check to see if there's been any progress?

I've only taken one PT (the 7sage diagnostic).

Thanks!

Title is pretty self explanatory. Should you apply only to schools that you could see yourself working / staying there or should you apply to schools outside of your state / province . Some context I live in Ontario and plan on applying for Ontario based schools . That being said they are pretty competitive. Applying up north might give you more chances, but I would probably like to practice in Ontario and that could hinder my chances of networking as well as a feel for the laws of that area. Would love to hear feedback on this topic.

Hi! I am just getting back into studying after taking a month off. I was studying for the June test, but decided to push it back to September. I feel a bit rusty. Should I get right back into taking preptests and doing drills? Any suggestions? Would really appreciate any feedback!!

Thank you

Hey all,

I (think) my profile constitutes as a reverse-splitter for Berkeley and Cornell. I want to know (as realistically as possible) what my chances are (I would appreciate it if you do not simply say "not good", because I already know they are not good xD).

I am also curious as to what the profiles for those at/under the 25th percentiles for these schools are like. Is it mostly based on luck?

For convenience, here are the class profiles for Berkeley and Cornell (as published on their sites):

Berkeley Class of '20: LSAT(164/167/168), GPA(3.66/3.79/3.88).

Cornell Entering FL17: LSAT(163/167/168), GPA(3.68/3.77/3.87).

Thanks in advance!

I feel like I am heading towards burnout territory.. but I am in complete denial and I do not want to take a break. Is it possible to recover from burnout without taking one/two weeks off?

Why are international papers undisclosed, it doesn't seem fair we don't get to see what we got wrong :(

I want to thank you guys especially for the logic games explanations. From my first diagnostic to my most recent PT, I improved my AR from -13 to -2. It's not a fluke. I'm not a genius. I'm a regular guy who spent the time to learn the wisdom offered here. Thank you so much. You've helped me tremendously as I prepare for the September exam

Hi everyone,

I am nearly complete with the CC and am looking to develop a successful post CC strategy. I have already viewed the post CC webinar and plan to follow the advice provided. Excluding the advice that is provided in the post CC webinar, does anyone have any personal post CC study strategies they would like to share? I know this is an open ended question that largely depends on my areas of weakness / target score. (165+)

What, if any, are some strategies you wish you would have known prior to beginning your post CC studies?

For example: How exactly did you go about fool-proofing LG (by section or game type?), did you keep an LSAT journal for troublesome topics...etc.

I am open to any advice in LR, LG, or RC.

Abit of housekeeping: I am going into my fourth year of undergrad this fall and will be applying to Canadian Law Schools; mainly Ontario. My success in the first two years of undergrad (2.8-3.0 OLSAS GPA Calculator) were negatively influenced by marital issues in the home stemming from my father’s mental health (depression). I was also clinically diagnosed with ADHD in September 2017 and have been medicated since. This past year I was able to pull through do the best with the cards i’ve been delt to achieve an 85% avg or 3.85 GPA, which is anticipated to increase this coming year. This will give me 2 bad years and 2 better/good years of undergrad which i’m hoping some schools can look past due to the circumstances.

LSAT: I am currently registered for the July 2018 test and have been studying for the last two months on an average of 20 hours per week (Powerscore trilogy). I am also working 40 hours a week which makes it somewhat difficult to balance studying, family life, and maintaining friendships and the relationship I have with my girlfriend. I am starting to get overwhelmed due to my fully simulated and timed 4 section PT’s which produce results in the 150-153 range. BR usually brings me up to the low 160’s, however I have only done a handful of tests. I feel that I will not be ready for test day which I hope to score a165 (very ambitious for my current state). I am considering postponing until September but I also want to have adequate time to do my personal statements, gather LOR’s, and complete my application. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!:)

I cannot find PT C to save my life. Does anyone know where I could get my hands on it? Would like to grapple with its LG section. Any help appreciated.

I keep finding that an increasing number of my mistakes occur due to carelessness rather than a misunderstanding of the material. What have you guys done to tackle this type of problem? Should these be given as high a priority as cases of genuine confusion? I don't know what to do because there isn't a pattern but it occurs at least several times each test.
