I have been studying for a while. I think I have literally done almost every q on 7sage. I am trying to keep the PTs as fresh as possible (meaning I saw them the longest ago). What do I do in the interim so I'm not repeating the same content?
Took the August LSAT then took two weeks to travel and stopped studying ( Also was hoping I was done) got my score back and mmmm could do better I think but I feel like I had reached peak studying right before August test now have lost my momentum and idek how to get back into it for October test
Hi! I feel like it would be really beneficial if there was a cheaper subscription tier for after having taken the LSAT but still going through the admission process. I am currently considering canceling my subscription if I end up not needing to retake the LSAT (fingers crossed) but would like to still have access to the helpful admissions materials and discussions. Maybe this is already and option that I haven’t explored.
I have one school where my dad went and is an adjunct, this is a very big reason I feel drawn to the school. I feel like writing about this in the why this school essay could hurt me in a way, any opinions on this?
Does having three (good) vs two (good) letters of rec really change your chances of admission? I currently have one professor and one professional mentor. I don’t know that I will be able to get a second professor- does it really matter?
Also edit** I’ve been out of school and working full time for over a year and a half now
@AmandaDemiglioClarkson I can only speak for myself but since doing this I went from inconsistent scores- to consistent -2
I know everyone says WAJ- but WAJ. I do it on paper I think it's more effective. I breakdown the stimulus premise by premise + conclusion and I write out how the conclusion is supported or what its missing. I Identify the gap, alternative explanations and inferences I should have made before going to the ACs. Then I explain why the AC I picked was wrong, and not just "I misread" (even if I did), I actually write out why it does not work. Then I do the same for the correct AC. Spend a lot of time on it- it made me increase my score in like a month
When it clicks it clicks. Here are some things I wish I had implemented muchhhh earlier
At first I thought knowing the Q Types was not necessary, but once I learned them and placed them on the spectrum of support, ie. what does each Q Type need. For ex. SA can have a powerful answer (so can be more powerful in its language ie. most, all, always). whereas NA needs to be provable- so weaker (ie, some, sometimes) everything became more intuitive. This can you help you eliminate tempting ACs off the bat just by seeing one word.
Understanding Phenomenon-Hypothesis Stims. When you BR or WAJ, actually write out the phenomenon and hypothesis (or what it is asking you to hypothesize).
A lot of times I think we think the entire test is just conditional reasoning- not true! Give some love to causal reasoning (it is not as intuitive as you think) and really learn to see the chain of causal reasoning in the stimulus and flaws that often accompany it.
Always go to the ACs with a prediction, even if your prediction doesn't match any ACs, it has helped me find the gap in the stimulus almost always and identify the correct AC faster.
Just bc you can do conditional logic in your head, doesn't mean you should, pen to paper helps (and really will save you time), I don't diagram every Q but always the hard ones.
For weaken and strengthen questions, looking at the stim and asking yourself, wellll what could be an alternative explanation for this thing happening, always helps.
Idk if this is good advice, but I have started thinking of MSS as, I need to find a conclusion for this stimulus, what would the premises support? - this has led me to picking strongly supported ACs, vs getting confused.
Out of all of that, if I could pick out one general theme of advice, ALWAYS ANTICIPATE BEFORE LOOKING AT THE ACs. Untimed drills helped me with this. I would read the stim and the Q type, break it down premise by premise on paper, and write down 2-3 predictions and thennnn go to ACs. Speed comes with understanding of the concepts- so it's ok to just do untimed until you realllllyy get the concepts (esp. if you're not taking a test soon). I actually got faster (and more accurate) when I paused from timed drills and sections and just broke down every single Q type and stim type like this and learned to anticipate patterns.
I hope that helped!!!
I was so confused by the wording of this it makes it seem so hard. But this is the type of Q you can get right entirely by POE.
I am running out of fresh content, but I frequently get questions I've taken before wrong- regardless if I got it right or wrong before, and it's because I think oh I got it wrong last time bc of this blah blah even if I didn't. I have tried to tell myself don't think about the last time you took this question, when I familiar questions, but it doesn't help, does anyone have advice?
I find the live classes useful in getting some random tips and see how the instructors think. There's a lot of LR classes which ofc make more sense in an hour format class and are super important. I think it would be great if twice a week there could be RC classes later in the evening (I work and get home around 6:30) and have found it challenging to find RC classes that fit in w that schedule. Thanks!!!!!
@Dagny OH NO!!! That's so annoying, I haven't figured it out either, good luck, in this together !!
@steamboatwillie That's why I thought is was a glitch but even so that means 6pm EST for me, but I don't have that information anywhere its so annoying
@steamboatwillie This makes sense, I just hate that they're not clear like ugghhhhhh
@Dagny I also emailed, I just wish they were more clear, they should put your window in jd services this is really confusing to me
It tells me in the prometric site that my time is 11:59pm but I got an LSAC email that says 11:00am today??????????
Is anyone else confused, the email I recieved a week ago says it opens at 11:00am today then a link I click in LSAC says 11:00pm. Then my LSAT page does not say a time?
How do I stop myself from finding assumptions in the ACs. Like I didn't pick E bc I thought to myself what if the stuff needs to be shipped from one side of mars to the other through space- that would also be expensive.
The explanation for e literally says probably, which is what would have made it easier to pick the answer DOESNT SAY PROBABLY
Could we also have eliminated D b/c it's saying the material came from both, but the stimulus says "his material came either from spent fuel rods or from the plant's core" and does not say OR BOTH. This question was impossible so I feel like eliminating would help?
Hi all my analytics tell me that I struggle the most w phenomenon hypothesis LR and Causal reasoning and when I do drills this is true. How have people improved in these areas?
Hi all, I graduated in 2025, worked at a tinyyyy Personal Injury firm for 10 months (under an amazing attorney/leader- and I was very involved in the lifespan of each case). I recently switched (4 months ago) to a very administrative role in big law (supporting an attorney in their day to day tasks). How should I frame this experience for my applications- people tell me to try to get involved in substantive work here and talk ab it in my apps (have been here for short time- and would like to apply in Sept.) idk how to position myself best, and how to make an impact in my apps with my experience ?
Hi interested! 1 on 1
