Hi everyone, I am need of advice.

I wrote the LSAT yesterday. I don't think I did too well. I have a feeling I am going to write it again. I am debating if I should cancel it ? If I cancel it, will this appear on my record ? But at the same time, I think it would be smart to get an idea how I did. I am just worried that if the score is too bad, it may look bad on my application.

Any advice would be appreciated :)

Hi everyone,

I really need some advice in regards to the LSAT. I have been studying on and off for the LSAT from the past 1 year. I started at around a 140. I am scoring around 150 untimed. I usually get 15-16 questions right per section. I did mention on one of the discussion boards before that I did two undergraduate degrees. I did poorly in my first one, and I did really well in my second degree. I went back to do a second degree for the purposes of going to Law School. Since I had to work super hard in my second degree to compensate for the low grades that I got in my first degree. I want to do the same for the LSAT. I want to show the admissions committee that my grades have an upward trend. My goal is to attain a 170 on the LSAT and I want to be realistic about this score. I was planning to take the exam in September and realized that I am not ready at all. I was planning to take it in October or November (mostly thinking of November). That gives me around 2-3 months. I don't know if that's enough to reach my goal. I am not working or in school, so I have time to study full time. I believe that I am struggling with coming up with a solid plan. I have finished the 7 sage course and I am also studying from the lsat Trainer. I am willing to dedicate as much time as this exam needs.

I get 2-3 questions wrong per game on the games. Sometimes it's stupid mistakes. Questions that I know I can get right.

I get around 15-16 right per LR section (untimed) It takes a while for me to wrap my head around the argument.

RC- I am struggling with timing.

I needed some advice should I redo the course ? and re-read Mike Kim's trainer ?. Or should I just drill questions from different sections ? Since drilling has helped me a lot in terms of seeing where I am getting questions wrong. After that I was planning to pick up my speed. I don't plan on taking a full time preptest any time soon, since I know I won't do good and don't want to waste a prep test. I am willing to dedicate as much time as this exam needs. I just want to make sure that I am going the right way about it.

Sorry the long post. I would really appreciate some advice :)

Thank You

Hi guys,

I am writing the exam in January. I am still struggling with Necessary Assumption questions. I have gone through the core curriculum twice. I have read a power score book on it. I have tried the negation technique. I always get these questions wrong. If I can somehow get these questions right, it will make a difference in my mark. I would really appreciate some advice.

Thanks

Hi everyone :). I would really appreciate some advice on the LR section of the LSAT. I have studied the LR section of the exam through 7 sage+ LSAT trainer. I have recently done around 5 sections untimed sections from multiple tests. I have been scoring around 15-16. I would really like to increase that score. I am wiring the exam in October and I want to get around 21-22 questions right under timed conditions. I was planning to keep doing full sections after sections till my score increases, and then time myself. I am also making sure that I read the explanation for why I am getting the questions wrong. I wanted some advice. Should I continue to do individual sections ? Or should I review the LR curriculum again ?

Thank You :)

Hi guys,

I started studying for the LSAT again a few months ago. And this time I took my time with the CC. I did my first PT over the weekend and got a 146. Although it is a low score, I have improved from my original score. I wanted to know how I should proceed from here? I wrote down all the questions that I got wrong and wrote down my weaknesses. I am planning to tackle each weakness per week- and then do a practice test over the weekend. Keep doing that till I hit my target score (which is 160-165). I wanted some input on this strategy? Or should I do something different? I am scheduled for the January test, If I go by this strategy, do you think I would be able to achieve my target score? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks 😊

Hi everyone,

I have lately been feeling really defeated and frustrated with this exam and the whole journey to law school. This is my second time applying to law school (Candian law schools). I wrote the LSAT last January and got a really low score. I started studying again mid July. I have started to hit 155 untimed. My aim is 160- 165. Even a 160 would do at this point. I have realized that you need to be patient with this exam. I have been wrong to expect immediate results. That has been my biggest mistakes. This time I am taking as much time as I need to study the concepts, and learn them well. I am also focusing on my weaknesses. I feel that will really help with increasing my score. My LG score ranges 18-22, but I struggle with timings. I am scoring 13-17 on the LR. In that area I keep getting the same type of questions wrong (which is good because then I just can practice on my weaknesses).

My question is,

Am I being realistic with thinking that I can go from 155 untimed to 160-165 timed by January. I do not want to make the same mistake and assume that I will be ready by a certain time. The reason why January is an option because majority of the schools I applied to accept that as the last score. Only 2-3 schools accept the February score, which is also an option). But that would be super late in the cycle, but would get me a good score.

Any advice would be appreciated. Really losing hope at this point :(

Thanks.

Hey guys,

I am writing the LSAT in January. I want to aim for -0 on the Logic games section. So far, I always get perfect on the sequencing games. Other games, such as In and out, grouping, sequencing twist games- I struggle a little bit on those. I know that if I practice a little bit more, I will aim to perfect those. In terms of the miscellaneous games, I still have a lot of work to do on those).

For the last month- I was planning to do PT 40- 70 (an entire LG section per day). I know that sounds a lot. But I am pretty comfortable with this section. I had a question, should I focus on games from 40-70 or should I do other prep tests. Some people say that if you want to improve on LG miscellaneous- then games from 1-35 are the way to go ? Or should I mix it up ?

Thank You :)

Hi guys,

I am taking the LSAT on January 13th, which is in two months. I have been hitting around the 155-156 range untimed. My diagnostic was a pretty low score, so this is a huge jump for me. I wanted to score around 165, a 160 would do as well. I am not doing anything else other than the LSAT. I have been thinking about drilling practice tests and just focusing on my weaknesses for the next few weeks. In the last month, I was planning to take full timed practice tests, 2-3 every week. I was wondering if this would be a good approach or should I try something different ?. Also, is increasing an untimed score of 155 to 160-165 timed doable in the next two months ?

Thank You

Hey guys,

Hope studying is going well for everyone. I am at the stage of my LR studying where many times when I am doing a question, I find two answer choices attractive. And I am left between which one to choose. Sometimes I will get the question right and sometimes wrong. Any recommendations on how you guys approach this problem on LR questions?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi guys,

I wrote the January exam, and it looks like I am going to write it again. I plan on writing it in September 2020. I am also looking for a job on the side, preferably part-time. If I cannot find anything part time, I was planning to go for full-time. I realized that I have been studying the wrong way for a while now. I was also pressuring myself a lot. I would like to restart everything again, and i want to take the slow and steady wins the race approach.

This is the strategy that I have in mind:

I wanted to know that is this a good study plan ?

I believe that this method would work well with a part-time job. But if I end up landing a full-time job, would it also work ? Or should I write it after September ?

Lastly, is there a tutor or someone I can privately speak to in regards to study strategies ?

I would really appreciate it :)

Thanks

Hey guys,

I am planning to apply this November for all the law schools in Ontario. I did really badly on my first degree (2.5) However, I did decide to go back to school for a second degree and will be finishing with a 3.8. I rounded it up and my GPA increased to a 3.4. I don't know how the admissions committee will look at my profile ? Will they count my cumulative ? Should I apply outside of Ontario as well ? Just to be safe ? Has anyone gotten in with two degrees ? Where they had a major shift in marks

Let me know :)

Hey guys,

I had a quick question. I am applying to all the Law Schools in Ontario. I was wondering that do I apply through LSAC or OLSAS ?

I would appreciate if someone would let me know :)

Thanks

Hey guys,

I am looking to buy PT 1-35 RC passages. I was wondering is there a bundle out there ?

Thanks

Hi guys,

I have written on these discussion boards a few times. I am applying to Canadian law schools this November.I finished writing my personal statement. I was wondering if someone could have a look at it and give some feedback. Someone who is good at personal statements. I can also do personal statements swap.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I had a quick question. I am struggling with timings when it comes to LR questions. So when there is an LR question that is long, I tend to skip it. I was wondering, are there any specific strategies that you guys apply to deal with long text LR questions.

Thanks
