Hi, I took the LSAT this August and took a bit of a break afterward, and now it’s already mid-August!
Although I tried to start brainstorming and outlining my PS after my June test, it didn’t really go well. I somehow ended up spending most of my time preparing for the August LSAT because I wasn’t satisfied with my June score.
I’m not happy with my current topic or outline, so I’d like to start over with the brainstorming process.
I was hoping to start submitting applications in mid-September, but now I’m worried that might be an unrealistic goal.
How long did it take you to finish your PS? I’ve seen some people say it took them several months, and having only about a month left until mid-September is making me pretty anxious.
Do you think finishing the application for, say, two schools by mid-September is a realistic goal? Or should I give myself more time and aim to submit in October instead?
Would applying about a month later make a significant difference in the admissions process?
I’d really appreciate any advice!!
@nr 
It looks like this to me. The full screen option doesn't exist on the side bar anymore.
I'm literally taking the LSAT tomorrow, and they removed the full-screen feature just a few hours ago.
They also confirmed in the email that full-screen mode won't be available.
Without full screen, there are three different scroll bars in RC—one for the passage, one for the answer choices, and one for the entire page. They all move independently, and it's making it really hard to focus.
Does anyone know if there's a way to keep the scroll bars fixed or make the layout easier to work with? Any tips from people who've taken it this way would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck August LSAT takers! I hope everything goes smoothly despite the last-minute interface change.
If E wasn't there, would D be an answer?? I thought D strengthens the argument even though it doesn't do so as strong as E does.
@jessegrewal08585 Thanks for this. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I literally had mental breakdown after finishing this section.
I crossed AC E off because stimulus already said a sample is representative... and when I read it closely it was 'are represented among the new policyholder'... sigh.
Is it just me or was this section insanely hard. I think this was the hardest LR section I've ever had. I almost cried in the middle of the section constantly flagging questions lol.
Reasoning in this question is so weird... That's why I though the first two sentences were fluff. So I have to assume police officers are affected by how confident witnesses are?? How is that not an invalid assumption?
According to the explanation of E, it says 'even if OMS is always treated promptly, applying the wrong treatment to CE would still count as extra danger.'
But I feel like I can apply similar logic on AC A as well, which is why I spent so long on this question, despite getting it right.
If we apply this logic to AC A, we can say 'Even if OMS treatment and CE treatment are the same, OMS not always being treated promptly will still count as extra danger.'
This question was really hard for me cause it was so confusing. Does anyone have a good explanation of why A is definitely a better answer than E?
I'm honestly so worried abt taking a test at 8am lol. Why was the time slots so limited this time?? Was it just me having so little time options?
@umar_bilgrammi Haven't checked that change yet but yeah, it's definitely very frustrating...
Are the features on Lawhub changed as well?? I thought it was only on 7sage... I don't like how they changed flags to dots :(
@Esalas_me Thank you!! I'm so relieved knowing that I'm not the only one crying over this whole process! Yes, we'll all be lawyers at the end of the day. Wish you all the best :)
@monmon We still have a lot of time left until the application opening so we should be fine!! OMG I feel the same about the prices they are simply so expensive and I'm broke as hell lol. We've got this!!
@kmbabcock Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this!
I really like your point about studying imperfectly rather than not at all. There were some times where I just gave up on studying cause I thought I won't finish what I allotted on that day. I definitely need to get out of that habit!
I also love the idea of separating lsat studying and application prep. I've been trying to do both everyday and ended up not doing either of those satisfyingly. This is a great idea!
Wishing you the best with both the LSAT and applications. We've got this!
@JacobBaska Thank you so much! I was feeling very overwhelmed and your advices really helped :)
