Hi all, I have been trying to transfer some files to other note-taking application on my iPad such as notability so that I can jot down some notes as I listen to JY’s explanation. But unfortunately I haven’t been able to do so, and I am assuming it’s because all of them are protected PDFs. Does anybody know if we are allowed to do that in the first place? If yes, anybody know how? I find using this kind of note-taking app very efficient and helpful. Let me know if any of you have come a-crossed the same issue.

So my untimed scores are around 175/176. It takes me about 46 min to finish a section. However, on an times PT my score drops down to 163-165, anyone have tips on how to improve timing while maintaining accuracy?

I am (re)taking lsat this Saturday and I am starting to worry if pt 84 and 85 indicate an increase in difficulty in lsat. It seems like people have a consensus that 84 has a tough RC, and 85 has a super tricky LR, but neither of them has a generous curve. Both of my scores from these two tests are ~5 points below my pt average. Or....maybe I am just overthinking and panicking about this coming exam?

Hi Everyone! I came across a some most drill in a LSAT text book which ended up having some trouble with. I thought I would post the question here and get some feedback.

Drill:

Most of the dishes at Oldies Diner are unhealthy and most are offered on special during luncthime. The dishes on special come with the customers choice of free fries or a free soda. All of the dishes offered on special are written up on the chalkboard.

From this information I was able to come up with teis inference:

Oldies most Special---> Chalkboard

The question states "True or False, most of the dishes on the chalkboard are on special".

The answer is true but I am unable to understand why. Thanks in advance! #help

I got back my Nov LSAT score and was not too thrilled with it. I was scoring much higher on my prep tests. I am torn between applying anyways to select schools and seeing what happens vs. studying more for the LSAT and applying next cycle. Any advice on what to do? Also, how do schools view reapplications- if you get rejected the first cycle, but apply regardless in the next? Thank you!

This might be an incredibly dumb question, but does LSAC automatically send new scores to schools you've already applied to? Specifically - I just got my November scores, but have already applied to a bunch of schools. I want to send my new scores, and was under the impression that they get sent automatically, but now I'm irrationally worried that I missed a step... Can someone confirm that they'll be sent automatically - or I guess let me know what steps I need to take?

***Update sorry! Figured out that it is automatic but now I can't delete this post!

I currently have the Starter pack. I got it for the March LSAT, but I will most likely need 7sage for November 2019 test. Which package will be the best and would last up until November or beyond? I don't need access to all PT because I have them all in physical copies, so that is not one of the features that I am looking for. I just want longer access and access to explanations to as many tests as possible because although my physical copies have explanations in the back, JY does a much better job of getting me to understand

Hey peeps!

I have been working a full time for over 3 years now and from working at my job have decided that I would like to go to law school. My full time job is pretty demanding and i could work from 40-50 hours a week and, some days (maybe once every 2-3 weeks) 10-11 hours just in a work shift. I took the LSATS in November on an unrealistic limb thinking I was giving myself enough time to learn all of the materials and be ready in about 2 1/2 months. (HA jokes on me) I did terrible on the test and my score was very low. I have been thinking about looking for a new job that I can still support myself, have insurance and be able to study appropriately for the next test. I would not like to switch jobs for many reasons but know I definitely want to go to school and this isn't my forever job. Ideally i would like to take it in March 2019 but I think this time I learned I need to make sure I am 100% ready and not just forcing myself to take the test. I work with many attorneys in my position and some are young and most are old. A few of the younger attorneys have told me not to get discouraged by my low score because i have gained A LOT of experience in my job that pertains to law. I have testified and presented in so many different types of family and dependency law hearings, and work with law on a daily basis. I have worked with many criminals, have interview experience and all. My point and question is I am curious to know how much schools would weigh in on my experiences and (decent) GPA, etc vs. my low scores? I plan to redo the CC and give myself more time to really learn the material and drill but I feel lost on my path to applying and my chances, and don't want to settle for a school that takes low test scores just because i want to get into school. If you have ever worked a full time job, i would appreciate any tips for studying!?

My LSAT journey is starting to feel long and it is still not over. I'm aiming for a 170 or higher. And I've been studying on and off the LSAT since July 2014. One day I will do an AMA with JY about this journey. I've done Powerscore course, I've self study, but it wasn't until I discovered 7sage last year after my first take in Dec 2017, a 153, that I upped my game. So I studied everyday, did the CC, Foolproof 1-35, took PT where I ranged from 156 - 172, but I was averaging PT of 163 by September and even scores a 172 in Sept so I signed up for November, got a little pressured by my study partner, who scored a 167 in September when we had originally thought to take it but I didn't feel ready, especially not for my goal of 170 or higher. I took November and got a 159. I was blown. I was expecting at least a 160, and I changed a little strategy, not that it matters, my letter of the day was C instead of my usual letter D, did the math, I would have had 163 if I chose D, but anyway. I took a 5 weeks off and I'm ready to get back to study. I need advice by Sage or anyone where to start. Timing is an issue for me, I usually get 84% correct of what I complete, but I usually leave about 7-10 questions to random guessing. I've got grit, and I know I'm going to get this +170, just need some advice and encouragement before I continue the journey.

Hi, I've been trying to avoid using phones or other electronics except for my basic kindle, but now have a problem with proctor since it seems like I can't put mp3 files in the basic Kindles anymore.

Does anybody know of a lsat proctor on audible?

Hey guys! Those of you who are practicing the LSAT, what type of small-term rewards are you guys using to reward yourselves when you guys reach a new practice test benchmark/jump?

For example, do you guys eat ice cream, or take a break from the LSAT for a day? Or what? I'm just curious what short-term goals/rewards you guys set for yourselves.

Thank you!

Has anyone saved a list of medium-difficult referential phrasing LR questions (especially forward-pointing referents) and/or multi-clause sentences that use referential phrasing? I'm trying to hone this skill and would love to help put together a list so others can do the same.

51.3.23 is a good one for starters, would love the help, thanks!

So i want to start on January 10 and take the premium package which is 6 months. Now i go to university full time but i think with the study schedule i can manage my time and do both the LSAT and my uni courses. Do you guys think I can manage to pull this off with the premium pack?

My target score is 160-164 and I got 149 on my diagnostic test and i am kind of familiar with the test (i studied for a month and have basic knowledge of the test)

Thanks in advance people :)

Hey there!

So, thanks to our wonderful community, I read the trainer and it has definitely helped! Here's my question: The trainer wants us to find the flaw in all the "subjective" questions (the ones we need to evaluate). But I'm still a little unclear on what it wants us to do after we've found the flaw for some of the question types.

For example, I've realized that for strength questions, what I want to do is find the flaw, and then look for the answer that makes that flaw less likely to be problematic. So if the flaw says that this one factor is a determining factor in whether or not the conclusion obtains, then I need to find the answer that makes that more likely.

But I figured that out after a lot of trial and error. And I'm not clear on what, for example, I need to do with a necessary assumption question once I see the flaw.

Help?
