Hello all,

I have been intensely looking at the LG explanations for every game since the first LSAT until the most recent one. Is this the best approach to take to get a perfect score on the real test? I feel the upcoming test will largely be just different variables for the same type of game? I really enjoy the explanations that J.Y. gives

Also, I have been looking for Study Guides for the LR and RC. I incorporated the Reading Comp Memorization Method and that seems to be useful. I am trying to improve with LR and I listened to all video explanations for the June 2007 LSAT. Can anyone supply me with these study guides and any advice to improve in LR??

I don't know if this is common, but I have seen great improvements in logic games especially, now averaging around a minus 2, and similar (but not as extreme) increases in LR. Oddly enough though my RC has been dropping and I find myself more confused than ever.

Advice

I am in the sticky middle of my LSAT studying and need some advice. For context, I took a diagnostic in October 2021 got a 140, then I took the August LSAT '21 (148), then again in November '21 (152). I studied consistently from October up until November and am now picking up consistency until the August LSAT. I have been taking 1 pt a week and blind reviewing then reviewing it the day after. I seem to get stuck in the hard and harder LR questions and can't seem to fully grasp parallel flaw question types. I went through the entire CC once but maybe I should go through it again. I can't seem to get higher than 156 and break into the160's. Does anyone have any tips on what to do?

I am not really certain how legal education works, but I know bars are state specific. If one goes out of state school, nearby, would we then have harder time preparing for bar. Again, I am not sure how legal education goes but assuming schools of specific state would give preference to teaching laws of that state to prepare students for that state bar. Any inputs would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I found correlation statement and causal statement are quite easy to confuse in LSAT. I think it is good to come up with list that LSAT usually makes those statements. I can have a go first.

1/correlation

sth correlate/associate with sth

sb find correlation/association between sth and sth

2/causation

sth lead to sth

sth contribute to sth

sth cause sth

The list is not complete. Any input is welcome.

Proctors: Laid back and professional. Although, for one of the sections they forgot to call out the 5 minute warning... good thing I had my watch.

Facilities: Clean, comfortable, easily accessed. I walked from my apartment but there are parking facilities on campus so driving shouldn't be difficult. Brought a sweater but didn't need it -- comfortable temperature.

What kind of room: Lecture hall.

How many in the room: 30-40

Desks: Long tables. We were spaced about two chair lengths apart.

Left-handed accommodation: N/A but wouldn't have been a problem since it was tables not desks.

Noise levels: There was camp for young kids going on next door and they were incredibly loud but none of the sound came through the walls. We could only hear it during the break and beforehand.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 30 minutes.

Would you take the test here again? Oh hell yeah. Ideal conditions in my opinion.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: June and July 2018.

Hi! I am deliberating upon whether I should take the September or October LSAT. I've taken the test twice. In January 2024, I took the test with a fever and scored in the high 160s. In June 2024, I took the test on three hours sleep and scored a 170. As such, I feel like I still have some room in me for improvement, especially since both scores were decently below my average PT score and under less than ideal circumstances.

That being said, I have much travel this next month which will prevent me from studying. In the beginning of August, for one week I am traveling for work then the next week I am traveling for personal reasons.

Seeing that I already have a test score I am comfortable with, should I just take the LSAT again in October so I can actually study, and then just send an application update if its an improvement, or do I rush to take it in September on the off-chance I get a great one to submit with the rest of my original application?

Are there any other considerations I am not seeing? Thank you!

Hey guys,

New to the forum here.

I’m looking to take LSAT Flex in one the US territory islands near Asia (as some test dates aren’t available in Asia)

One thing that i’m concerned about is internet connectivity..

Have any of you guys had problems with taking LSAT Flex due to poor or slow internet connection?

Should I just go for the US mainland?

Your responses will be insightful

When i use scratch paper on the test am i able to quickly write down, For example, lists of sufficient and necessary condition indicators? since it is my own paper and have to go in with it blank anyway i would assume i can write down whatever is in my mind at the strat but would like clarification.

i struggle remember indicator words when under time crunch but if i get them on paper in the start from memory, is this ok?

Is it alright to give examples that are not stated in the prompt to support your ideas? I completed writing PT 82 about the filmmaker, and I found myself talking a little bit about creativity and potential advertising opportunities instead of focusing solely on the furnishings of the locations.

I was wondering if anyone knew how long it took for the LSAC to release past LSAT tests for practice? For example, I took the LSAT in November 2022 and want to look over that test but when would it be available on Law Hub/to everyone?

Okay guys, this is pretty much my dumb down version of explaining some formal logic based on my knowledge. I believe this is something that needs to be really understood in order to improve in logic games.

Example 1:

If A-> Not B

If B-> Not A -------> That implies that

*A can be alone

*B can be alone

*Both can be absent ( BUT YOU CAN NOT HAVE BOTH A AND B SELECTED!)

Example 2:

If Not A -> B

If Not B ->A ----------> That implies that

*If A is out, then B is in

*If B is out, then A is in

*Or both A and B can be in

THEY BOTH CAN NEVER BE ABSENT!!

Example 3:

If not A ->not B

If B ->A ------------> That implies that

* Both CAN be absent

*Both CAN be present

*A CAN be by itself

* B CANNOT! I REPEAT CANNOT be Alone!!!

Excuse the caps, the emphasis helps me remember haha...Please make any changes if I am wrong. But this is what I came across. When I finally had this written down, it made so much more sense to me.

I'm having a really rough time with creating a study guide and how to even approach studying.

Can you recommend any study guide and studying tips that have worked for you? I'm willing to try different methods to see which one would be best for me.
