Hi everyone. RC is one of my best sections; I score no more than -3 per RC section.

how much time, on average, you take to read a passage, and to answer its questions respectively?

is there any reading strategy you follow that makes you read and comprehend passage well and don't run into time limit issues?

have you taken the official lsat yet?

HI. Yes, I have taken the actual LSAT.

I take no more than three minutes per passage. What helps me comprehend the material in front of me is to make sure I stay engaged with the words in front of me the entire time. My mind never strays outside of the text. It took a while to nail this down, but it has helped tremendously.

can you elaborate on how actuallyyou do the bolded? and you read reasonably fast at 3 mins/passage, so is there anything specific you did to get there? was you initial RC scores without prep just as good or near similar?

It's a bit hard to explain how I do this--it's just a deep focus that I get into when I begin reading. Nothing else enters my mind except for the words in front of me. It's psychological. That's how I'm able to finish these passages so quickly. No, my initial score was about a -13. It took a lot of drilling and focus to get to where I am now. I can elaborate more over PM if you'd like.

Thanks for hosting! @, would you recommend coming in having done or BR-ed the section or should we come in cold? .

Coming in cold would probably be best. And you're welcome!

Have you taken the LSAT at all? Is your score enough to get you into your desired law school(s)? If so, you can tell them that you're in great position to be accepted to law school and that might make those professors more sympathetic to your plight. Check to see how many LORs each school you're interested in requires.

@ said:

Hey UCLAplease, thank you for responding! Unfortunately, there isn't anyone above me I could ask. In fact, company policy is to not provide LORs to anyone, for any reason. Ironically enough, for legal reasons! I have a couple of letters that were written after I graduated but they are 10 years old and pertain to education (my undergrad).

At this point, I would reach out to professors and explain the situation. If you are anywhere near them, you could even meet up for dinner or something. Try to dig up old papers/work you've done for them to remind them of who you are. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else you can do. It's not uncommon to reach out to professors for LORs years after finishing school.

I don't think you can apply without at least one (or two) LORs. I think it would also mean an automatic rejection, but I could be wrong. Is there someone you are close to who you trust and is ranked higher than you who could write you an LOR?

That monkeys and tokens (coins?) LR question has been driving me absolutely crazy. I can't stop thinking about it.

I'm retaking in October. Would definitely like to join!

Hello, I just finished. Was the Logic games section with the fencing competition experimental or real?

Real

I score anywhere from -0 to -3 in RC. DM if you are interested.

@ said:

Hey did anyone else have to move their desk so their back was facing the door? I have not had to do this for the other two LSATs i've taken online

I had to do that. I've never had to do that for any of my previous LSATs.

Looks like LSAC is mixing up experimental LR questions with real LR questions.

Would love to talk about the Monkey/token LR if anyone has had it.

Was the monkey and token LR real?

@ said:

I take it this afternoon, but from what I can tell from watching this forum like a hawk, is that the Real LG is standard, same with the LR that is scored, and the real RC is the Nigerian language one which most people have said is fairly difficult. For the people this morning can you give more detail about the two LG so we can try to figure out which one is experimental?

I've heard the real LR is deceptively easy. Plus, they could have multiple real LRs/RCs/LGs that they will use.

Edit: I think there are two real LRs and RCs being used right now.

@ said:

Just finished! I had LG-LR-RC-LG

First LG felt a lot harder than the second LG, I didn't have enough time to finish the fourth game so I'm really hoping that is the experimental. I can't remember all the topics but I know that the fourth game dealt with Security Guards/Buildings.

LR seemed standard, nothing out of the ordinary. However, my alarm on my phone went off the last ten minutes and I had to wait until my proctor said it was okay to turn to it off.

RC wasn't too bad. I have the Nigerian Language/Literature, EMFs, Privatization, and the last one was something dealing with trees and Cacao.

Second LG was easy. Campers, Clothing/Retail, Clay Tablets, Musicians/Concerts.

(For those that only had one LG please comment what game themes you had)

What LR topics did you have?

I would be interested in the LR portion! (Hopefully towards the evening?)

I’m right there with you. I applied to a school yesterday morning and last night at 10 pm I get a decision; denied. They went through my application in less than 24 hours and handed me a rejection. I was speechless. What the f was that?

Whoa. Which school was this?

@ said:

150 is still a competitive score! Someone will want you. If I were you I would apply now-- if you are content with applying to less competitive schools or are confident in your app materials (LORs, PS, Diversity Statements, and etc.) I also agree with the others that recommend taking the February or January test admin.

150 is not a competitive score. It's a score that diploma mill law schools will want. Do not apply to law school with a 150. Retake the test and score at least a 160.

It's new and it's ugly, TBH.

I'm PTing around the same scores as you. I would love to do this, esp. for LR.

I identified the flaw immediately (that she could possibly use a combination of the methods to during each trial), but I picked the wrong answer during the actual and during BR. There's something about the wording of A that really through me off. I just didn't think A stated that she could have possibly used more than one method during each trial. That doesn't sound like what A is saying.

I'm interested!

Noooo, I would not send this email. It sounds too pompous, and a skills update is not at all necessary or even wanted by the admissions team. Do not email this.
