Recently received advice that for my goal score - currently averaging 152 to 154 (sorry im typing this after a very long day) - just need around 7-10 more answers total correct to get what I need for my top schools. advice was to keep up LR and Reading and try to improve these sections, but since thats around -8 -9 and logic games is around - 11to -13, it makes most sense with the time crunch to keep drilling logic games as everyone has labeled this section "easiest to improve on."

I agree, and I can see why. Please help me though. The reading comes to me more naturally than logic games and I know its because it takes time / practice / nothing like you've ever done in academic history etc, I know my brain and im trying to articulate that these puzzles are very hard for me in a general sense. I usually can get the set up pretty good for most games even if im not too fast at it, understand the logic behind it, but the questions is where I go wrong. yes I know there is video explanations. I have been watching them. its hard to keep up with the question format in the explanations vs what I have on paper (with such strict time constraints) and the explanations are not necessarily helping me improve, even when I truly am listening and taking it in.

It would mean the world to me for thorough advice and step by step insight. What would you do in my situation, specifically? Im willing to put in the work, but feel like I need to change something.

Thank you so much in advance.

Re-posting this in a more organized manner so everything is in one place. Here is some context.

Last attempt for this cycle.

150 -> 155 -> 159.

I need a 161 at least to be at the median for my dream school. 2 more points.

Of course most of us feel less pressure / whole different dynamic practice test vs. real thing, but I was scoring 163 - 167 for the last 10 tests I took prior to the October LSAT. Not sure if my brain freezes or what. My average was 164 so I was expecting a 160 at least.

Please help, how can I get these two extra points? What would you do in my shoes?I guess Im asking if i retake all the ones i took and start from scratch 7sage? or focus more on review? obviously with the performance anxiety of it being real doesnt help me but instead is a deterrent, i need this to feel as "fake" and relaxed and possible. what do i do study method wise? Im willing to put in the work next month but dont know what to do study method wise.

Any help or insight would be much appreciated. thank you in advance

Here is my latest results.

Total: 154

LR : -9

LG - 11

RC -8

Please no pretentious comments. I need real advice. Taking November LSAT and just need 158 to 160 for high likelihood of getting into my schools, lmu chapman usd etc. please help me out with the best study techniques for for these last two weeks. I can do it.

I only need about 5-7 more correct answers on average which means either perfecting one section or a little bit in each. What would you do? Drill drill drill?

Can someone help me with logic games?

Please any genuine and thorough advice would mean the world catered specifically to my situation / goals

I am very geographically limited as I know I want to live in California and have been here my whole life. Only applying to USD and Chapman. Love LMU and Pepperdine but cant do locationally / financially. I do not want any pretentious comments or unsolicited advice. Please only respond if you know which law school is worth going to more, I know chapman is a great school but personally know 4 people from USD law who created great success for themselves. Yes, I am also aware stats are available online. I looked things up and am nonetheless confused or feeling ambiguous. Please let me know which school has what pros / cons from any knowledge you have. I need guidance and help, nothing negative please!

how can I take an individual section for practice (yes I. know there is drills you can create) from a practice test? like lets say I wanna just do reading from sept of 2018 for practice ?how can I modify that

can someone please explain to me why the correct answer is "A" and not D? I was between those two but question stumped me in general

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question

I have 3.5 months to get score from (just over 12 weeks) to go from 150 to 157 - 160 range.

My incorrect answers are somewhat even on each section, but struggling most (conceptually speaking) on logic games, especially with the speed. I can set up most games but have a hard time attacking the questions.

Should I drill the LR question types I have most difficulty with?

Drill reading to improve efficiency / speed?

Is it better to drill drill drill, then take practice test and review and go from there?

Any specific advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

got into law school and when i got hired at firm 6 months ago and they asked i said i’d be applying in the next few years or haven’t thought about it besides speculating yet and want experience first. when i put in my notice how do i do it without completely tarnishing their view of me or without screwing them over? was advised to do this because everyone is replaceable and should look out for my own interests first and not have to disclose everything until timing is right, part of me feels unethical to lie and or to be honest about going to law school. also know that the bar contacts every place of employment. Pls no passive or unhelpful comments, clearly i am overthinking this and so sorry for the jumble but really need concrete advice and help as to what to do.

I know it all depends / repetition etc but im generally wondering- when I drill reading what difficulty should I do at? does anyone know what avg difficulty is on tests like one level two one level three etc for reading?

Like if I drill one 3 dot law passage, 4 dot science, 2 dot humanities, then mix it up another time, etc?

Please, no discouraging comments. Honesty and insight though, much appreciated.

Great LOR's, first generation college and law student, 159 LSAT 71% score according to this cycle thus far, 3.66 GPA double major from University of Washington, trilingual, much involvement in leadership / intern opportunities during undergrad, just got placed on hold.

I understand what on hold means - that it is a status not a decision - and that there is ambiguity and patience involved no matter what.

But this really crushed my soul. Standardized tests aren't my greatest strength (not excuse, just context), but I really worked so hard and feel crushed. trying not to lose hope. I'm not one to give up but this was really the worst feeling.

Will take a tour and send a letter of continued interest, but when?

Is it worth taking the LSAT my last time in January to see if I can get above 159? I only have ten days to decide.

I respect and understand the competitive process but wow.

Any insight on UM law, placed on hold but then admitted stats, mental advice / application advise / LSAT guidance,, etc. I moved from the PNW to here for this school a few months ago, it's my dream. I don't want to relinquish that.

Please no sarcastic answers. I did it once and forgot what I did and have stuff in personal life so had to take a break just looking for help. when I "stimulate" modern with a test, it gives me 3 sections. How can I stimulate to get lsat flex score (3 sections graded) but still take 4 section test? does this make sense? I did it for my first pt on here so I know its possible but I forgot what I did? Step by step would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Who would be willing to help me look over statement? More than aware than it's a personal statement and has to be written on my own, I have a draft done, but little refinements / suggestions with certain things from an outside perspective would be great!

Anyone have pros for each school relative to the other?

I've done some research but would like some outside opinion / insight.

I would love to live / practice in San Diego and don't know much about Malibu. Money is of course a factor so it would depend on what each school offered in that sense. USD seems like a great school to me holistically.

Will Pepperdine grads be competing with LMU, Chapman, UCLA, etc grades more so than San Diego?

I had a friend who got into ucd, Berkeley, but still chose Gonzaga because she liked the location a lot more and wants to stay there. I don't know why people talk so much about rankings here. Obviously a super "Low" or not as reputable school AND the tier 1 ivy schools - that makes sense, but I know so many people who graduated from USD or other schools and were very successful.

Please do not respond with any pretentious comments. I need actual advice.

Personal statement is supposed to be 2-3 pages double spaced? Any word count frame ?

Not looking for extraneous detail or any thing, just wondering, its possible for the first section on the lsat to be experimental? Unlikely but possible, or is it truly random and totally possible on account of that randomness?

So sorry for the promptness - I guess it doesn't matter too much, but today is my last pt before october exam. should i take pt 89 or 83 as my last one?

And my tutor told me to not look at the score - as this can cause overestimation / overconfidence or anxiety / nerves depending on how I do ? my average right now is a 165.8-166. What do you guys think?

why is it A (avoids the issue instead by instead focusing on supporters of proposal) instead of C (fails to define the critical term “satisfied?” Like why? I don't understand?

I registered for oct 14 2022 lsat. So, it's all online? I hear there is only 3 scored sections now?

Feeling discouraged that my LSAT score didn't go above 150 in the November exam, although my highest pt is a 159 and average a 154. I don't have the money for tutors or these expensive programs. What should I do? my score went from a 140 original to 150 , so there is progress but I need to rack up 160 for the competition in the schools I plan to apply to, now for next cycle instead of the following one.

I struggle most on LG but feel like LR here isn't the most helpful (the teaching style).

Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated.

I started my journey about a year ago, with about a 140 diagnostic. Went to 148, then 150, now 155 on the last April test. My average for the last 10 practice tests I had taken was from 158 - 163. After the 150 test, I made some serious shifts in my mindset, study habits, overall approach to review and drill etc. I was starting to feel so good, intuitive, confident. I seriously thought I was ready.

I need a 160 on the August test - 5 more points - it truly will be my last try for personal reasons I don't want to get into on here.This is 3 months worth. Is this doable?

If so, how? Drill each section for now, review? Or practice tests and then analytics from there and review? 76 75 84 85 91 69 is the ones I have left that I haven't taken or were taken long ago. Is it okay to retake tests already taken and see the comparative improvement? In terms of material, how do I use it to my advantage?

I feel so lost, confused, and this shook my confidence down by a lot. Figuring out technology for 30 min and starting late, starting at a much later time than most of my past tests, and during the third section feeling my brain already fall asleep - these are the factors that come to mind, if that is of any value. I don't mean to sound self - defeatist and I'm aware that my situation isn't necessarily unique, but I truly do feel disappointed and so low after seeing this. I really think I can do better, I'm just feeling down and confused and lost as to how I can specifically execute that.

Any specific study guidance (moving forward in my particular situation), words of wisdom, and genuine advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for whoever chooses to respond.

Also, here are my analytics from my last 10 practice tests on here:

LR: -5.7 average

LG: -7 average

RC: - 7 average.

I don't understand how I got a 155 on test day and missed that many more points, like I'm truly so confused. Any and all thoughts and insight would be much appreciated.

Evaluate question: can someone please explain why the correct answer choice is E? how did you arrive at this answer?
