Hello, I'm looking for study partners to review practice tests with, and go over hard questions?

We have three people showing up at an upcoming study session at Gangnam on Wednesday, July 9 from 8:00 pm-11:00 pm. One member has an official score of 172 and the other member is scoring in mid-150s. We are looking to hit at least 175+ on the LSAT. The fee for using a study cafe meeting room is only 1,900 KRW per person for each hour. We do not make a profit out of this study session. Please send me a direct message if you are interested in joining the study next week.

I scored in the low 170s for my past 3 PTs with -0 LG / -1 to -5 LR / -3 to -5 RC. I felt so confident after writing the PTs and after spending around 3 hours on BRs (ie. thinking I'm going to get -0 in LR). I guess my problems is I really can't figure out the correct answer for some questions even without the time constraints.

How do i move forward? I have only completed 25% of CC, should I go back to CC and leave PT for a while?

Hey everyone, I am hoping y'all have some advice on how you go about reading comprehension on the digital LSAT. A lot of the CC teaches methods like a low res summary next to the paragraph and slashes indicating a switch in topic. Any recommendations on how to make the most out of your scratch paper for RC? I am currently struggling the most with RC and I am really eager to make improve. Any advice is appreciated!

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.

Hi everyone!

Was curious to know if anyone has tried the fool proofing method for LR/RC and their results. If people have tried it, have you see a significant improvement in your LR/RC score?

Hi 7sage,

I have been scoring between 160-163 on most of the PTs. On all of the PTs 80s I have score above 160 and up. Average is 161. But every time I do the PTs above the 90s, the newest ones from 2020, I always score in the upper 150s.

My question is: are the PTs in the 90s unusually harder? The RC section in PT 91 is mind-blowing hard and it felt abnormally harder than any other PT I have ever taken.

Thanks!

Back when I started taking PTs to study, I didn't realize that I should save the more recent tests for when I was closer to my test date, and took the tests beginning with PT 92. I'm taking the LSAT in August and was wondering if people have an opinion whether it would be better to retake more recently administered tests I've already taken, or take older tests with which I'm unfamiliar? I've retaken 91 and 92 recently (took them originally back in March) and only recalled a few questions from them, but I do fear that my scores are potentially skewed by those few! I'll only have a chance to take one or two more tests before the actual exam but was just curious what people might have to say. Good luck to my fellow August test takers!

Hey all -

Currently prepping for the Oct 22 LSAT. I took the April 22 LSAT, had some significant life events in may/june, and resumed study in July

I had taken 5 timed PTs and an untimed diagnostic, and had worked my way up from 152 to a 168, 170, and 168 in my last tests. In April I was back down at a 162. I didn't feel like I was panicking more than I did in the PTs where I did better. Is a 6 or 8 point relative drop normal from practice to test day? Are there any things I can work on before October to even up the performance?

PTs are showing marginal but real progress from there, but I'm wondering how much I should discount that. I will say that I'm feeling more confident (particularly on LGs), but that's hard to measure.

I have an accomodation for reading/thinking aloud on the LSAT. Are there any rules that anyone knows of for that? For example, I typically have a constant song running through my head when I'm focusing. I'm usually trying to talk over it honestly. However, sometime on LG, for example, while I'm redrawing set ups, I hum and sing those songs to try to get it out of my head. I can do everything without humming, but I'd like to know if I'd get in trouble for doing that. I really just don't want the proctor to interrupt my train of thought to tell me to stop humming or singing to myself. I'd rather focus on not doing it than having something throw me off day of. I know it's kinda a strange question!

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am planning on taking the Lsat for the third time. My first two times I got a 146 and 148. The problem with my studying was that I did not take the time to prepare for the exam properly and did not have a good studying schedule. This time around, I plan on studying for the test 4-5 months in advance to ensure that I will get the desired grade which is 160+. Currently I am thinking of studying each section separately for approximately a month, and then have a month or two of only doing PTs and focusing on my weak section which probably will be reading comprehension. Each day therefore, would be separated into 2 study sessions. One in the morning and another at night. If I am working on games for example, I would do 2 timed sections, go over all the questions (with emphasis on the ones I got wrong), take a break and then do another 2 timed games sections.

If you guys could share what worked for you while studying or what you think I might be able to do better with my scheduling please let me know.

Hi everyone,

My name is Keith and I am a Zimbabwean living in Johannesburg South Africa. I am currently an Ethics and English teacher and I am trying to study law in the US. I have been referred here and was told that the resources here and the people here are helpful. I am tight on money but would appreciate any resources people may have for me! Also, does anyone know how to register for the lsat in JHB?

Hi,

I just took my LSAT writing and kinda bombed. I was feeling awful going into it but decided to do it anyway. I've always been an okay writer and I wasn't too stressed about it. However, I noticed after submitting it that I had failed to delete my brief description of the decision to be made and the criteria -- they were just sitting above the rest of the essay with a line in between -- and I made a couple of noticeable typos.

Is there anyway to redo it without redoing the entire test? Or to cancel only the writing section?

If it's at all relevant, I started a new medication today (my first dose was about 4 hours before the test) and I think it's definitely possible that it's what was making me feel wonky. I feel a little pathetic using that as an excuse but I honestly believe that it may be relevant, I don't know.

Hello! For those of you who have scheduled your specific LSAT date and time before, could you describe how that works? I haven't received further information and unsure about the process. Where do you exactly go to schedule? Thank you in advance!

More of PSA, but I think when you simulate modern in this test it removes the wrong LR section. Every test I've inputted in simulate modern uses the first section (S2) in LawHub while only this one seems to do the opposite.

Can we take a preptest again if we've already done so, and if so, how do we do that? Also, can we do the preptest untimed? I understand we do that during the blind review, but can we chose to change the time

Any general advice on going from 165-168 to 170?

Seems like this is a common plateau for students.

Hello, I just finished taking the September exam. However when I was I taking the exam, I had really bad noise disruptions. Would I be eligible to file a complaint? Or could you advice me on what to do?
