Hi,

I found some schools even limit the words number to 350 even though they do not have page number limit for PS.

When there is no page number limit, should we still limit DS to 1 page/shorter than PS? or maybe, longest 2 pages or so?

By the way, characters and words are different right?

When it says 1000 characters, it is not the same as 1000 words, right?

Thank you

Hi,

My recommendar asked me to email the transcript too.

I have never been asked to give a transcript to a professor, so not sure this is common.

Did you show your transcript to your recommenders?

Thank you.

I'm not sure between C and E...

I think we can know both of them from the last sentence, because it says "depend". Depend on means correlation right?

Also, I thought the stimulus itself have self-contradiction.

It says "live in neighbourhoods of people from their same economic class" but then it says "people's satisfaction with their incomes depends largely on how favorably their incomes compare with those of their neighbors."

Doesn't it contradict?

Let me edit this post because I don't want him to see it just in case.

Thanks again, everyone :)

Hello,

I have a question, in my PS I discussed I have been interested in law for a long time, but I studied a totally different subject in grad school. There are several reasons and I did not study it for giving up law school, but should I explain that in addendum? Or do I look like I am making an excuse?

Thanks.

Hi

So I think I know the fundamentals of LR but I still miss questions on the ones that I should not have missed...

I do choose very carefully when I do timed-test...why does this happen???

I do review throughout after taking the test but this continues for months and I feel very disappointed...

People say it takes time to see improvement but why?

If you know fundamentals, shouldn't you see improvements very soon??

If not, doesn't that mean you still do not understand the basics?

I don't know whether my way of reviewing is not good or it just takes time or...just frustrating...

Hello, I have a question about the letters.

1. Should we show our PS DS or any essays to the prof?

2. I have a couple of letters and wonder what steps to take after LSAC received the letters...I thought we can choose letters, but no? If we submit them, will all of them be sent to all schools?

3. When they say at least 2 letters, but accept 3, how many do you submit? I heard 3 is better, but also heard if the contnt is the same (almost) you should not bother Adcom to read the additional one.

4. I'm meeting another professor. She is quiet busy but I hope I can get a letter from her asap...how can I be polite but still ask her to write a letter as soon as she can?

Thank you for your help.

I'm trying, really trying to have interests in the passages but sometimes its really hard to keep concentrate on what it says.

How do you stay focused and have interests in the passages?

What is active reader anyway?

Hello,

I have a question about submitting essays.

So it seems most school allow to submit 1)PS and 2)Diversity Statement

What if they allow us to submit optional essay (Why X school essay) (Addendum) but no place to submit those on LSAC? I don't see there's additional space for uploading those essays.

Does it mean we cannot submit those essays if we submit 1)2)? (So what they meant was submiting only 2 from those 4 options?)

Thanks

For some reason...I miss a lot on this question.

What some strategy worked for you?

I tried to find whether they agree, disagree, no opinion strategy but it did not really work for me...the part I thought they disagree turned out one of them does not have opinion and something like that.

How do you tackle this type of question?

Hello,

So if we want to talk about interviews we had, speakers in a meeting etc, do we have to reveal their real names in PS?

In fact I forgot some of their names...

If I just say "a guest speaker" would it look weak?

Also, how gramatically strict PS should be?

I read some PS but some sound poetic like fiction novels, not like the tone of academic research paper...

Thank you!

Hi,

I found I miss points especially on this question.

Sometimes we have to find info from sentences located in different place in passages...and its hard to find the right info immediately.

How do you answer those questions?

Do you re-read the whole passage again or just answer by memory?

Hi

So on LG I meet this kind of rule sometimes

A---B→C---D "If A is before B, then C is before D"

Is this actually bi-conditional in sinmple sequence game?

For grouping sequence game, it may not be necessary true, but for simple sequece game there is only either before or after something, so...

By the way we cannot delete our threads right?

I wonder what if we solve the question before get any replies...do not want to bother other ppl in that case :(

Hi all, again about PS :P

So to be honest, I have not decided to pursue which field yet...I'm interested in a couple, but have not chosen yet. I thought I want to decide after I enter law school, so I am choosing law school which have both of the fields that I am interested in.

So I am not going to talk about why X field in my PS, but when I read some samples, it seems people have legitimate reasons about which law they would like to practice. (and I understand it because it would be one of the reasons they choose the school.)

If I do not indicate one, would my PS look weaker? I may want to honestly say "I have not decided yet" but would it look bad?

Should I just do more research and decide which one before I even apply law school?

Thanks for your insights.

Hey guys,

Just wondering...

On average, how many days did it take for you to write PS for each school?

I know people would say take days as many as you need, but I was just wondering...

Thanks :)

Just wondering, when do they publish PT79?

Where do you usually get PTs?

And, when does 7sage publish explanations for newest PT?

Hey---

I'm thinking to take some time off and concentrate on working...

I'm worried, if I leave from studying LSAT, will I forget about what I've learnt so far?

When I started to study again, how I can I catch up? Will I have to do the same work over again?

Should I keep studying for LSAT even for very short time per day? If I start to work full time, I'm sure it'll be really tired (especially the first few months) and not sure how much I can devote study...

I'd like to hear from someone who have experienced similar thing...leave&come back studying for LSAT.

How long did it take for you to catch up&what did you do?

Thank you!

Hi,

I was doing PT 70 and was wondering,

Do you think section 4 is harder than section1?

I think I had this experience before too...when one of the LR section is relatively easy, the other one is kind of hard...

Is this true? Or am I the only one who felt so?

Why??

Does it affect anything?

Hi,

So I was drilling RC passages, but I do not see much improvement which is really frustrating...

I thought I want to try different methods and I did find lines for each questions, tried to understand what all sentences mean, what makes wrong answers wrong but...unlike LR, would those not be helpful in improving at the section?

Doing more passages is not helpful?

Hello,

I was wondering whether it is worth re-doing the same RC passages.

I know some people say re-doing LR questions are beneficial, but is it the same for RC passages?

Or for RC passages, should we put more focus on quantity instead of quality?

(I mean, do more different RC passages instead of re-do the same ones...)

Thanks!

Hi,

Quick question...

I'm purchasing and creating CAS now, and I'm wondering, if I finished my graduate courses on December and attended graduation ceremony on the following May,

which date should I put, May or December?

Surprised to see we cannot edit info after we confirm it, so I'm kind of cautious...

Thank you!

Hello,

So...I asked my prof to write a letter on January, and she kindly accepted.

But it's Feb already and it seems she does not open the email from LSAC yet.

The deadline is 2/15 and I told her that and I emailed her like 4 days ago attaching uploaded PS, but should I email her again and tell her as a reminder that the deadline is 2/15?

It must take some time for LSAC to upload the letter and send application to school so I hope she can email the letter like 2/13 at the latest but I do not want to push her neither...what should I do?

Should I wait for a couple of days more?

Thanks

Hello,

Just wondering how other students do...

If you have free time all the day, (weekends, summer vacation etc)

How do you study? How many questions or sections do you do&review?

Thanks!

Hello,

So how do you know you have a realistic goal?

How do you know you reach your ceiling and cannot actually improve anymore but still hope so (=unrealisitc)?

I mean...I want to know when to "give up" and just take the test...

For some people, I think it's not true that if you devote time and effort you can get any score you want.

Some people may be able to do so, but it may take 5 years, who knows. But then I wonder...does it worth it when you think about the cost and return? (and the return is not sure until you get the score)

When I read some threads here, it is encouraging, but also sometimes feel not sure about "when is the best timing to take the test."

It seems people recommend to take the test when you are ready, but when is it?

It can be years later, you may extend&extend&extend...feeling it's not the right time and you can still improve.

And when you turn back, you may feel "since I devoted so much effort and time, I have to get good score, otherwise, I wasted so many things" etc.

I'm afraid this can happen...

So, I'd like to know how to know you have a decent target score or not, so that I don't have to expect too high and study realistically.

Thanks!
