Hi all,

Any advice or strategies people have undertaken when hitting score plateau, specifically for RC or LR? I consistently hit mid 160s when doing PTs but have been stuck there for weeks now. I already have LG pretty much down (average only 1 wrong) but can't seem to improve on the other two sections. I'm signed up for the October exam and would like to improve by around 5+ points. Really appreciate any help!

I’m not sure when I should write the Lsat? I’m working full time and my aim is 2 hours a day (14 hours a week). I was aiming for April, and I would be able to take two weeks off ahead of the test. Or should I aim for June in which case I could probably take closer to 2 months off?

Or should I write in April, and keep peeping for June while waiting for the result?

Thoughts….

Hi Guys,

Do you know if the LSAT is compatible with the macOS Sonoma update? I have been holding off on updating my laptop for a while now and just wanted to see before I do so.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

In CC v1 the PrepTest scheduling was integrated into the Study Schedule Generator. Saw that everything's been moved to the PrepTest tab, is there any way to maintain the PrepTest scheduling with the new Study Scheduler?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

Head’s up: later this month, LSAC is doing a system-wide upgrade that will affect some of their online services. It will begin at 5 p.m. ET on Friday, December 22, and is expected to end at around 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, December 23. During these 24 hours, certain LSAC services, including candidates’ online accounts on LSAC.org and LawReady, will be offline.

During this time, people will be unable to complete transactions such as registering for a future LSAT, submitting fee waivers or accommodation requests, accessing their accounts, or submitting applications.

Services on LawHub.org will remain available during the upgrade window. Scheduling for the January 2024 LSAT will continue through Prometric. However, information on candidate accounts will not be updated until the upgrade is completed.

If you have any further questions, you can contact LSAC via https://lsac.zendesk.com/, email them at lsacinfo@lsac.org, or call them at 215.968.1001.

Are you allowed to have colored pens/highlighters during the real proctored exam? I study better when I highlight during my logic games outlines, and I wanted to know if the online proctor would get mad if I brought them out? I don't have any accomodations, and I wanted to know if that would work to bring out colored pens/highlighters for my scrap paper

So around July I will be done with the CC, and I plan on testing in October. I also know that I may not finish every PT that is available right now, but which PT would you recommend me to start from? should I start with the older PT's or just the newer ones (141-158)?

Thank you in advance!

Hello! So.. my worst case scenario came true. I took the January 2023 LSAT for the first time, did not do great, and cancelled my score. I took the LSAT for a second time in September and managed to score worse by TWO points than the Jan LSAT I cancelled. I am really stressing out about if I should cancel my score or keep it - only if it would really look that bad to T-14 schools to have two cancellations. For context, I am also registered for the October 2023 exam. My September score is MUCH lower than any of my target school averages, and so I want to cancel the score but don't know if there's any merit to avoiding having two cancellations on my record. The September test was a bit of a fluke for me as I panicked and really got in my head during the exam.

I appreciate anyone's help!

Hey guys, I have been studying for 4-5 months now and I started with a 136 pt score. I did see improvement with 7 sage and got my highest score to a 147. My goal is a 150-155. However, when I take pts recently my score is not really improving. it has been 145, 138, 147, 139, 140, 139 in 2-week increments. I also notice that especially in Rc i don't get to finish all the passages on time and have to guess. What is some advice or things you did to help with score improvement? I plan to take the LSAT in august, so I have 2-3 months to get 10 points +

After getting my score from the August LSAT today I'm totally at a loss. I took my first LSAT in June and scored a 157 which was not where I wanted to be. I then buckled down and studied harder for the August LSAT. I was averaging 163's right before the first go around of the test. I, along with most everyone had problems with my August LSAT. I choose to take it again and I truly felt that the test went well. I got my score back again today and I once again got a 157. I was really hoping to submit my applications as early as possible because I know that the earlier the better. Should I sacrifice this to take the test again? I am just worried that waiting until the end of October (when the October test score comes out) is going to be too long and hurt me in the long run of the admissions process. Please help I am very unsure of what to do at this point and the date to register for the October test closes tomorrow. I have a strong GPA (3.76) and good extra curriculars and I am not trying to make t14 or anything but I still want to get into the best schools that I can.

Wanted to see if anyone could share their thoughts / been in a similar position! I'm retaking the LSAT soon and wondering if I should also retake the writing portion. My first writing wasn't bad in terms of structure and argument but it ended abruptly because I ran out of time (was missing two words off the last sentence), and I was wondering if it would be worth it to redo the writing because of it in case it affects admissions.

Hey y'all,

I started taking practice tests about 2-3 weeks ago. For practically all my tests outside of my diagnostic, I've been scoring between 165-168. I spoke with a few of my friends that either attend law school or are working in the field already, and identified a few aspects that I thought would help me score higher, and possibly break the 170 barrier.

With newfound knowledge in mind, I took a test yesterday, and to my surprise, I scored 174! I'm almost certain this is a fluke, though. I don't think one can achieve a 6 point jump and maintain it consistently.

Including my diagnostic, I've only taken 10 tests though, so my sample size is small. Because of that, I don't feel confident I'll know my actual scoring range until I have several more tests under my belt.

My question: For those of you who aimed at and broke past a certain score threshold after plateauing, did you find your scores tend to stay past that threshold? Alternatively, did you find your performance was a fluke and your average scores surpass that goal some time after that first time breaking the threshold?

I'm most definitely not planning on using my most recent score as an excuse to slow things down, but I also want to know how other people in the community "knew" they had gotten over their humps.

Looking a study buddy in the Indy area, but am open to studying with others via Skype. I am pretty dedicated and looking for person with whom I and he/she can keep each other focused when we get antsy and want to go do other things. Also bounce ideas and problems off each other. if anyones interested let me know!

Best,

Jake
