Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any simulated test centres in Toronto that I could register to take the LSAT at before the actual test?
Thanks so much!
I would totally be willing to get in on this! [removed]

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew of some legal studies or law related masters programs/certificate programs off the top of their heads? Since I'm writing the LSAT in June now and won't be able have my score added to my applications for this year, I'm looking for something to do during the year instead of just waiting around for my acceptances to come. I've got a really great resume with some awesome extracurriculars and work experience already. I would highly prefer for the program to be in a distance studies format (online)! Any suggestions would be more than appreciated.
So far all I've come up with is this: http://www.extension.harvard.edu/degrees-programs/master-liberal-arts/fields-concentration/legal-studies
I wrote the test in December and cancelled it (I now realize taking it was a stupid thing to do because I was not nearly as ready as I should have been). I was hoping on being ready for this Saturday but I really want to avoid sitting down to write the test until I feel 100% confident that I can rock it. I don't feel as though I've done enough prep tests under simulated conditions to feel confident which is why I'm choosing to wait until June.
I really wish they would offer the darn test more frequently! I want to be done with this test and would love to have to avoided adding 4 more months of study. I really think another month or so of intense PT's and I could do well.
20 seems like a good number though, especially if you just started the course!
I was just wondering how many total timed preptests (under simulated testing conditions) you all advise doing before sitting down for the actual test? Any insight would be super helpful!
I've finally gotten comfortable doing timed sections in LR, LG and in RC but I've been doing them separately and am really hoping I can maintain the scores I'm getting in all of those when doing them back to back. Is it typical to notice a bit of a drop when doing them all at once?
Thanks in advance!

haha I hear ya! I've just found that the passages with the most questions tend to be the more difficult ones that I'm going to have issues with regardless so I'd rather do a 5 question and 6 passage one to get the easy marks in and then get to the harder ones.
Who knows!!! lol
Hi all!
I was wondering what your thoughts are on RC passage selection. I'm averaging 1-2 (more often 2) wrong per passage under timed conditions and as a result am going to aim for getting 3.5 passages done.
I've been told to attack the easiest passage (depending on the topic that speaks to you) first and to avoid doing the passages with the most questions because they tend to be more difficult. That way, you're picking up all of the easier points and then coming back to the harder passage and hoping scratching out a couple of marks. The only problem with this is that I hate leaving two 8 question games until the end. I will be okay with a score of 17-18 in RC...it has slowly become the bane of my existence.
Any one else have a similar strategy or method they'd like to share?
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I think I'm going to be doing a bit of a mix of both but with an emphasis on the newer ones. I forgot to mention that I've also been religiously studying the older games in an attempt to boost my accuracy, so I feel like those are all very fresh in my mind as opposed to the games sections I did a couple of months ago from the newer tests.
Hi everyone!
I was just wondering if you could provide some insight as to which is better....doing older prep tests I haven't done yet (38-45ish) or focusing on the newer 15 or so tests that I have done untimed a couple of months ago. I'm retaking the LSAT otherwise I would have left the newer tests untouched. The advice I've gotten is to focus on 2007 and above because that's when the comparative reading comp was introduced and as the a whole the tests are better representative of what you'll actually get.
@mpits001889 If you could send me those notes as well I would forever be in your debt!

I would really appreciate it if someone could send me the logical reasoning guide?? I have the RC one that I'd be happy to share.
Thanks for the input everyone!
@seglen512725, I was wondering the same thing! I really want to avoid having to ask for reference letters all over again...have you been able to find out if they'll stay valid?
Hi everyone!
So I got my score yesterday and am incredibly disappointed since it was substantially lower than what I was getting on practice tests. I have already registered for the February LSAT and plan on writing it because I have already submitted my applications for the 2015.
From the research that I've done, writing in February really doesn't put me in the greatest place considering that most acceptances are already sent out by the time the law schools will get my February scores and review my applications. I should also note that I applied to all of the Canadian law schools (who especially recommend writing earlier than February of the year you want acceptance) and US law schools (who seem to be a bit more flexible with the February LSAT because of the rolling admissions).
I was just wondering if anyone has any insight or advice of what I should do. I really don't want to delay another year of applying and this will be my last time writing the lsat so I need to make it count and if I only have a 5% chance of getting in, I may as well just wait until June to write it.
@jgoodwin765 What do you mean by -12/13?
I've been trying to make a LG summary and was wondering if anyone has any notes that they'd like to exchange? Just a brief overview of what to keep in mind when encountering each type of game set!
Thanks so much and happy studying!!
Anyone have any tips on how to approach these? Are they essentially just MSS questions?
Thanks for all of the input everyone…I certainly appreciate you taking the time to respond!
I'm leaning towards writing on Saturday (although I will likely be cancelling my score) in order to get a sense of what the test is like. I'll also be registering for December and am planning on spending October and November getting my timing sorted out as my accuracy is where I'd like it to be (I'm getting the score I'd like untimed).
My situation is a bit unusual in that I'm actually writing my LSAT as part of a deal I made with my father in exchange with him financing my musical ventures (I'm a singer). Coming from an academically oriented family combined with the fact that I'm well aware of the harsh realities of the music industry (and the importance of needing a solid back up plan)…law was the only other thing I could see myself doing. I've taken the past 6 months off of music to study but will likely be forced to managing both over the next two months which is what I would've liked to have avoided…but where there is a will there's a way right?!?
Great thanks! I'm not too concerned about missing out on the refund or not being applicable for scholarships.
I'm just worried about "rolling admissions" and being the last pick of the crop.
I may write on Saturday and cancel my score if I don't feel good about it…haven't decided yet.
So with only a week left, I'm seriously beginning to contemplate deferring Saturday's exam to December as I'm still having issues with getting timing down. I was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on any possible disadvantages of waiting until then. I'm planning on applying to primarily Canadian schools.
I've finally managed to get my accuracy down (the score that I'd like to get in each section untimed) but am having a hard time transferring that over to timed sections and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how long it took for you to get your time down.
It's really frustrating and it doesn't help that I'm a risk adverse test taker!!!
I think you've been studying for too long! Lighten up.
I'm trying to figure out a strategy myself...
Thanks for all the comments everyone and yes it's super frustrating! I'm having a really hard time getting all 4 done in the time allotted and am trying to work out a strategy...attempting only 3 passages (doing ones with the most question and (possibly risking accuracy) or trying to get all 4 done.
Thanks guys!
I've called pretty much every single one and no dice!
