Hello! As I start to think about my application materials for the next cycle, I had a few questions about LORs.

1. I know I need a letter of recommendation from a professor, but I am unfortunately not that close to any and don't really have time to build a relationship with one. Has anyone dealt with this situation, and if so, how did you go about getting a strong LOR from a professor?

2. I am an RA and my supervisor has already written me a strong LOR speaking to my character and work ethic. Would it be a good idea to ask them for a LOR for law school, or would their letter carry less weight since their work isn't law-related?

Thank you so much in advance!

Hey everyone! I'm hoping to get some advice from those of you who have been through something similar.

I took the January LSAT and scored a 160, but my goal is to get as close to 175 as possible on the April exam. My practice scores have been pretty encouraging overall — my highest PT is a 167 with a blind review score of 175. My general study routine consists of one full PT and about 3–4 individual timed sections per week.

Here's where I'm running into trouble: I was consistently going -2 to -3 per LR section, which felt really solid, but recently my performance has dropped noticeably and I've been getting -5 or -6 per section. The timing of this regression lines up pretty clearly with the fact that I was sick and had to take about a two-week break from studying. Since coming back, I just haven't been able to get back to where I was, and it's starting to affect my confidence going into April.

Any advice, study plans, or resources you'd recommend to help me get back on track (and closer to a 175 on PTs) would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I took the January LSAT and got a 160 but I am really aiming to get as close to a 175 as possible (even though that might not be the most realistic goal). I’m not able to take the June LSAT and I will be applying to law school next application cycle, so I am currently planning on taking the LSAT again in April. However, I am feeling worried that I will not be able to see the score increase that I want, and I don’t know if my study plan is the most effective.

Currently I study every day for about 2 hours Monday through Friday, and I do timed drills/sections and review all wrong answers, alternating LR and RC everyday. I also take a full test on Saturdays. But I don’t know how much this is helping.

I would love any insight on study plans and if you think my goal is possible! Thank you!
