Hi there, studying for the September 2026 LSAT.
I love making friends and studying together so don’t be shy to send me a message :)

It’s easy to feel like mid 160s is bad, and compare ourselves. I’m in around the same place.
I can’t tell you what to do but for me I’m choosing to write. I can always write again later and have a higher score. Mid 160s is not bad by any means.
I’m going back to school in the fall too. For me I chose to lock it in, rather than risk falling off during the school year and not locking in what is already a great score
the diagramming starts with the a-->b (if a then b), which has the contrapositive if not b--> not a. There's also a "v" which means "or", and "&" which means "and". And <--> which is a biconditional, they rise and fall together.
You could google those, and just get like a third graders understanding of what those are in formal logic.
Also you could get a foundation on sufficient/necessary conditions, which are in the foundations in the core curriculum. And do some drills, you might intuitively know some and start by diagraming questions you can already solve.
Also they made this video on youtube
Admissions officer say it’s about how well the people know you and are able to speak in detail about how you are, not the persons rank.
You could have your prof you know well brush over your capstone even if it wasn’t under them, and then you’ve covered that academic base in one letter. A second academic letter without providing any additional information may be not very helpful.
Don’t listen to me too much though I’m just guessing.
@Lillia555 if you guys want me to re post the review on the online shop, lmk how and I will
Five star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, outstanding speed for international shipping (Canada)
There are a variety of different essays that each school may require. Often it will be "why law school" etc, but it can be different essays, you cannot fully predict it.
Just look at the schools you're applying for and see what essays are required. And you can kind of brainstorm in advance the sort of stories you want to tell that put you in a good light.
If you had a weak semester or year academically and have context to share, criminal record, disability, family situation etc or have anything to disclose in addition you can start working on the writing for that.
It depends if the drills are too easy for you. They do adapt the level of the drills to be motivating for you, but of course the sections are just the raw sections.
You can do targetted drilling on the tags that you struggle most with. One thing I do sometimes is set the answers to let me know immediately if I'm right or wrong after each question. This is just for quick feedback and training if its a new question type for me.

@Amelia_D hi I won too and I had the same issue. For me on the homepage on the bottom right I was able to click the white and blue chat icon and bring up the message again. Hopefully that’s helpful if you still wonder
I agree! What is really awesome is how active the leaders look at the forums, even if they don’t have time to do it right away they are very likely to have read your post
For me even being able to access an excel spreadsheet with all my data and tags would be awesome, and then I could do the work myself to analyze the data / the community could create templates for others to analyze their tag data, if that’s easier
I’ve only been studying like 48 days. My last PT I got 168 and I feel motivated and I’m still coming up with the “ahah moments”. 92nd percentile is not bad at all, sometimes we get perfectionistic and forget how far we have come.
I learned that “implied” in RC is “most strongly supported”. I learned that parallel reasoning is just the Lawgic, that analogy in LR is often the same but in RC it’s the roles and verbs. I’m training my gut instinct for the harder causal and conditonal reasoning. I watch the most challenging live classes by Kevin and Bailey, start to get confused about 3/4 through and I love it! I love planting the seed by challenging myself with info I don’t yet understand and feel things click into place over the next few days. My friend jokes that I have “revelations” multiple times a day
I saw a challenging question that almost involved logic games style of a question, needed a diagram. And I didn’t get it right but I was thrilled, and watched the video and got it etc. I learned that must be false is conditional not causal usually. I learned to make the little pie charts for those formal logic indicators “some, most” etc etc with different wholes and parts.
It’s fun to do the full time schedule in the drilling section. Take a break for a couple hours play with the dog and then practice again. It’s the joy of the hunt, of the chase. It’s the joy of rapid improvement and a race to the finish line. And to be so in touch with yourself, any biases or irrelevant thoughts in your head, the small difference between different feelings of intuition and whether it is a real or a false signal. I can feel my own heartbeat, and the blood moving in my body. It’s like I get to be a laser with my own mind.
@Kevin_Lin Absolutely. Upon reflection, I'll rephrase my thought. It would be interesting to see an instructor go through a touch RC critique/debate passage, and touch on all the possible types of questions in RC, where the author has a slight bias that the passage expects us to pick up vs not. Theres clearly "family trees" of types of questions for RC, as in LR, but yet theres distinct ones where a factor that might be relevant to one question isn't relevant at all to another. Without necessarily doing process of elimination through actual answer choices, just comng up with ideas. Sometimes its easy to see everything as relevant and getting lost, but how can we filter for specific things based on an analogy, parallel reasoning, identifying what is the authors real implicit attitude vs our own associations, identifying when to be "robot" and when to be "lawyer" in our approach to questions.
I'm realizing upon typing this out that this is a huge project haha
I didn't detect this as sufficient,
To be capable of going to Harvard one must have graduated grade 12, because one must have a fundamental understanding of Math and English. To have a fundamental understanding of Math and English one must have graduated grade 12, therefore those who haven't graduated from grade 12 cannot go to Harvard.
True, and none of that is a claim of sufficiency right?
One thing that I'm interested in is going over conditional vs causal vs formal logic in a youtube video, like hard curve breaker questions, identifying which words are "black and white" indicators of the type of answer we need, and which ones are "gray" especially when multiple types of reasoning are blended together. I am finding that I'm using the rules, but in edge cases on the hardest questions I'm using trial and error.
One for me is not being able to tell in a critique or debate passage what the author likes. Sometimes it seems more expository, describing others opinions, and I don’t really see what the authors point is.
a lot of different schools and people have a lot of different opinions on that.
Recruiters like to see diversity in the educational environment, but their GPA and LSAT would be like the floor to get considered, softs admittedly might be what is interesting depending on who’s judging. They say to just be yourself, it’s the most interesting part of your application.
People argue and stress all day about what a strong soft is, idk man
I thought it was D because if the patient increases magnesium consumption (by supplement) and that undermines their blood pressure medications, then it is likely that drinking hard water that contains more magnesium may have a mild effect at decreasing the effectiveness of the patients medications therefore increasing their risk of heart disease / high blood pressure.
E seemed weaker, so I didn’t pick it. Can anyone help me see why D is wrong? I read the explanation but it didn’t seem to see the point I made
@J.Y.Ping This is the app on windows that I downloaded to my pc. I refreshed, and pressed the toggle a few times.
Not an emergency of course, just letting you folks know
Hi there, just noticed that dark mode is no longer working on Windows/Intel computer.
