I took the July LSAT. It was quite an experience b/c the LG section just threw me off. I felt confident about only one game and had to make a lot of guesses on two games.

I've just been feeling so disappointed with myself. This was my third time taking the test. I was scoring in the early 170s on my practice tests. I worked really hard to get my pt score average to high 160s - early 170s. But everything just went to the drain on the real test.

I can't afford another score below 165. Both of my first two scores have been below 165. I know that the general advise is not to cancel, but I don't feel confident about the July LSAT at all. Doing well on the logic games is so critical for my overall performance on the test. I'm thinking of canceling and taking the September test. What do you think? At this point, I know that I'm capable of scoring 170+ and I don't think my performance on the July test will represent my full potential and how much I've improved on this test .

Hi there, I know you all rank how hard questions or passages are on a five-point scale. I figured you do it based on what percentage of people got a certain question wrong.

I just finished a preptest (66) and I'm particularly interested now. You ranked game 1 four out of five in difficulty, but said it should take five minutes to complete. Game 2 got 10 minutes target time, but was ranked three out of four in difficulty.

Those are just examples. I'm not looking for specific feedback about preptest 66. I was just curious how you decide how hard questions are, or how long we should spend on them.

Thanks!

I am an older applicant and am going to hire a professional service to research my background for any character and fitness issues. I had a situation come up that caused me to have significant retrograde amnesia that is likely not reversible. My family and friends tell me there is nothing major in my past in terms of C and F, but I will not be able to vouch for the absence or presence of some of the smaller issues myself that could have happened in college, etc., which is now many moons ago. Should I write a short addendum explaining such?

When an answer choice says “it is a statement that the argument provides grounds to accept and from which the overall conclusion is inferred”, is this essentially the premise.

Or is the premise “it is a premise offered in support of an intermediate conclusion of the argument “?

We the people want to know

None

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.

I forgot where I saw a clip of a taped section. After much resistance, I have decided to do it. Can anyone point me to where I can find a clip? Thanks!

Hi!

Has anybody taken the LSAT at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center?

Can you describe your experience there? (types of chairs, desks/tables, air conditioning, proctors, etc.)

I took the LSAT at McGeorge Law School (Sacramento, CA) in July. I've been taking practice tests and preparing for the LSAT at the McGeorge location all year. I'm a little nervous retaking it at a place I've never been.

Just a thread for fun and some motivation. Any stories, hopefully positive, here of people pulling all nighters or spurts of no sleep in law school? I would imagine there are perhaps many interesting 1l stories? Just curious because I am graduating from undergrad in 3 months and haven’t got much sleep lately even during my break. I’ve just been reading lots of nonfiction for fun to increase my reading capacity. In retrospect, I thought I did a lot of reading in undergrad but now am beginning to realize I didn’t even know the half of it.

Hey guys,

The last few weeks I’ve been trying to fool proof the logic games section and I stopped reviewing my lr notes.

I dont know what to do because I literally forgot a lot of stuff. Should I restart the lr section of the cc?

I forgot how to answer a lot of the questions. I’m not sure what to do. And if I do remember how to it’s really rusty.

I work full time I’m not exactly sure how to approach the lr section this time. While continueing to move forward reading comp after the logic games.

Any advise will help.

Thanks guys

Just for motivation and perhaps the desire to read some inspiring stories- did anyone just feel amazing in general after seeing they got their target score on the actual thing?

Just decided to postpone last minute cuz my scores weren’t consistent and I really wanted a 170+ and it would be my fifth take... feeling pretty defeated ;/

I really hope this isn’t a mistake. but excited to work with all the November test takers!!

William Patterson University Test Center, Wayne New Jersey

The biggest surprise was the small size of the desktop. Otherwise a great facility.

Proctors: Two were very cordial and professional, stuck with the LSAC script which was fine. Monitored students but not distracting.

Facilities: College building, vending machines in the lobby

What kind of room: classroom

How many in the room: 25 students in a room with 35 desks

Desks: individual desks, tiny desk top, not enough room for booklet without hanging off the edge, challenge for RC and LG to see. LR just folded booklet so one page visible.

Left-handed accommodation: a few lefty desks

Noise levels: quiet

Parking: ample campus parking close by

Time elapsed from arrival to test: no wasted time, very prompt

Irregularities or mishaps: none

Other comments: none

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: September 9 2018

Hey all, I remember someone asking a few weeks back about NYC test centers. I just checked LSAC and CUNY Law is now has open seats. I’m guessing some folks may have cancelled for November.

I’ve tested at CUNY before and it’s a great test center. Registration went smoothly, you have plenty of table space, and the restrooms are near the testing room.

Hey, is there anyone near Denver and the surrounding areas who want to get together for studying for the November test?

Really need some advice right now...for any you sages out there who had a low gpa but high LSAT- what lessons did you learn and how to switch up your game to prepare for law school and get better grades?

Hi everyone,

I'm tired of downloading and printing out each file, don't know why but it takes forever to download each PT.

Is there a giant compiled PT so I can just download it overnight and print out all at once?

Thank you.

Hello.

I have just received my scores from the September LSAT and received a 154. I was hoping for a 160, or even a 158-159. I wish to apply to Canadian Law Schools (as I am Canadian woop) and the general average LSAT score they accept is 160. My PT scores have been fluctuating between mid 150s to low 160s. Most of them being high 150s.

So, I definitely want to re-take the LSAT. I am currently unsure if I should register in November or January and see pros and cons to both.

Currently I am a 4th year student in my undergraduate degree. So during November I would be knees deep in midterm season. I feel I would maybe have less time to study, and given the already sort of tight constraints, perhaps I would not be able to pull my score to where I want it to be in time? Meanwhile taking the LSAT in January would allow me more time to study for sure, especially with Winter break and only just starting new classes.

On the flip side though, I know the law schools in Canada have a sort of rolling admission policy. So, writing later could put me at a disadvantage in that regard?

So, I am just wondering which LSAT date do you think it's best for me to write? Is it realistic to expect improvement for the November one, or should I go with January?

Hi,

Seems like I read if you go into public service law, you can get your tuition forgiven.

Does anyone know of any scholarships for public service or legal aid work?

Hey everyone, I just registered for the LSAC forum in LA this Saturday and was wondering if anyone has advice. I wasn't planning to go, but now I'm retaking the LSAT in November so I'll be applying later than expected. I have no idea what to expect - has anyone been to one? Does talking to the reps from schools actually make a difference? Should I bring copies of my resume? Any tips appreciated, and if you're in LA let me know if you're coming too!

Hey All,

I'm in the PT and drill phase of my LSAT journey and find myself needing guidance on personal specifics. Would any seasoned LSAT warriors themselves (or those who know of such fabled warriors) PM me and help out?

Any and all help is appreciated and I will do what I can in return.

Would anyone be willing to email me their notes they have from the CC?

I'm currently registered for the November test, and I'm looking for a study buddy who can Skype or meet in person in the NYC area.

I would like to review and discuss questions to timed sections/PrepTests, as well as general/specific question type strategies to LR and RC. We could meet in person and also discuss by phone. Please send me a PM, if you are interested. We can decide if our score ranges, objectives, and schedules are compatible.
