Academic Letter of Recommendation

I'm currently going into my 4th year undergrad and I'm taking the LSAT this June. I just started reaching out to professors to get a confirmation that one is willing to write a letter of recommendation for my law school applications, but it is very difficult since my major is huge and all of the lectures have 200+ people. My grades are all in the A and A+ ranges. One of the professors I reached out to replied to me and said that she cannot write it since she does not know me first-hand, but she is okay with me reaching out to my TA to write about me, and then she will sign off on it but still explicitly state that she does not know me. In my opinion, I don't think that will be very helpful, but she says that method has been successfully used by other students in my position. I'm honestly just a little stressed and nervous and not sure what to do here. I'm still waiting for 2 other professors to reply to my emails. I honestly just need one academic letter since I plan on getting one from my boss at work. I'm applying to Ontario law schools only.

LSAT · Finding higher difficulty LR easier/less time consuming...

@NatMan Thank you! I will try this

So I've noticed a trend in my own practice drills and sections where I tend to find the higher difficulty LR questions (level 4, level 5) easier to complete and I take the appropriate amount of time on them, whereas easier questions (level 2, 3) I spend 30/40 seconds more per question instead of meeting the target time. Any advice or insight on why this is happening? How can I fix this timing issue?

@sol_chan Timing also effects my LR, but definitely not as much as RC. I think it's because when I do RC I spend a lot of time just reading the passage and trying to understand it, and I have less time to do each question. I also tend to take too long on the first couple RC passages and have barely any time left for the last ones. I don't know how to go about fixing this

@sol_chan I struggle with this issue when it comes to RC, and timing is a big part of it but I feel like there's something more I'm missing. Honestly drilling is not helping like I wish it would

PT timed vs. BR - Help!

Help! While taking PTs, my scores tend to be low, but on BR, I tend to do WAY better (15+) on scaled scores. How can I close this gap so that my BR scores are reflected purely during the timed PT. Also, I actually don't spend toooo much time per question doing BR, so I'm not sure if my issue is really timing or just test anxiety. Any advice?!

🙃 Confused

Irregular Score Pattern

Since getting 7sage, my scaled score improved by a lot. But now, I feel like my scores are so different each time I take a PT. I'll score very high on one, and then very low on the next. It's confusing to me and makes me feel like I won't actually know when I'm ready to take the LSAT. I want to take it this June, but the consistent irregular scores I've been getting are giving me anxiety. Any advice?

#help i feel like i am so much better at RC passages with multiple POVs, critiques, debates, and phen-hypothesis. single point and single perspective questions feel like there is just a bunch of random info being thrown at me and they are so much harder to map out mentally. i feel totally lost on these. any advice?

i think the reason c) doesn't sit right with me is because it doesn't mention anything about the limitation described in the passage. I fumbled and chose A and then E on BR.

for some reason i read this paragraph as an extension of the economists view - i guess i made an assumption that it would help their argument?

i always confuse sufficient and necessary. i can always narrow it down to 2 possible answers, yet i tend to choose the one that confuses necessary and sufficient. i dont know how to correct this ugh.
