Applying in 2020 or 2021 cycle?

Hello, I wanted to ask for advice about applying in the 2020 or 2021 cycle. I graduated college with a chemistry degree (interested in patent law) and a 3.77 GPA, and had originally planned to take a gap year before law school. However, I am not great at standardized tests, and will be lucky to hit a 155 on the November test. I know that applications for this year are up significantly due to COVID, and that there were a lot of deferrals from last year as well. Should I still apply this cycle, or would it be best for admission/scholarships to apply earlier in the next cycle (which would be my second gap yer)? Thanks so much, and any advice is appreciated.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. Know that you did amazing on the exam, and do not let anyone tell you otherwise!!!I was also stem major (chemistry) and know how hard it is, so be damn proud of what you accomplished. A 174 is essentially perfect, so amazing job!!!

I took the exam in June. You are absolutely, 100%, able to use command F. For those that are asking what command F does, it allows you to search for a word or phrase within a passage. It really comes in handy during RC. So, while preparing for the exam, do not hesitate to use it, as you are allowed to use it on the actual thing. I hope this helps.

Command F

I have read that you are able to use command F on the exam. First, is this true. And second, does it help, or have they designed questions around this on the newer flex tests (if you have taken one)? #help

"Unless" question

When a sentence begins with "Unless", does the beginning of that sentence become the necessary condition, and you would then negate the second half of the sentence? #help

Applying as STEM Major/Reverse Splitter

I had a question for people who are applying as a STEM Major who are in a similar position as me. I finished college with a 3.77 GPA and a chemistry degree. However, I am not great at standardized tests, and before taking the actual test, am guessing I will score roughly 155 on the test based on PT's. I believe this is considered a "reverse splitter" applicant. I wanted to know if you are similar to myself, if you were accepted anywhere and what scholarship offers you have been getting? Also if there are any schools that look more favorably upon reverse splitters. Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!!!

LSAT Writing Question

Does anyone know if you are allowed to talk out loud to yourself during lsat writing, or is this forbidden like it is on the regular MC LSAT? #help

LSAT Writing Length Question

How long should the LSAT Writing Essay be? The reason I am asking is because I have extra time (1.5x), and I don't want to make the writing sample too long. Thanks so much. #help

In addition to what these others said, I would also consider scholarship money. While you may be able to get into these schools, my guess is that you don't want to pay full price for them either. So I would take the financial aspect into your decision as well. Good luck

Proctor questions

I am taking the LSAT on Tuesday and want to make sure that the proctors are muted during your test? If someone can also run through how the whole proctor u experience works on test day, it would really calm my nerves (first time test taker). Thanks so much. #help

Command F

For those who have taken an LSAT-flex, does the command F key come in handy during the test?

Yes, I am in same spot. I was a chemistry major in college and got a 3.77 GPA. But, I am a bad standardized test taker, and am hoping I can get between 155 and 157 on January test.

RC Improvement Advice

Hi, so I need some advice on how to improve my RC score. I have extra time on the test (1.5x) so timing is not the issue. It is more that I have trouble eliminating answer choices, especially when I have it narrowed down to 2 answers. Any advice about this, or reading the actual passage, would help greatly. Thanks!!! #help

@ Assuming you already have an account made, you should see the June Flex on your account. Click the blue schedule button. Times were not available before hand but for me they popped up after I kept trying. Good luck!

@ I studied for around 1 year. I was scheduled to take it in November of 2020 after studying 6 months, but did not feel ready, so I pushed it back to June, which helped quite a bit.

Do not stress about a low diagnostic. My diagnostic score was actually a 128 (yikes). I am now scoring in the 160's. I personally feel people should not take a diagnostic test, as it is always discouraging. Assuming you don't speak french, if I asked you to take a french exam right now, and you failed, would you feel bad about it? Probably not, because you don't speak the language, and how can you be expected to be tested on something in a language do not know. Take the course and study, and tell the diagnostic test to F*** off!!! Good luck in your studying!!!

Help Improving LR and RC Score

I wanted to know if anyone had any tips for improving LR and RC scores? I am currently getting -9 to -11 for LR, and around the same for RC. I also am finding that I will sometimes miss easy ones on LR, but when I review, I don't understand why I missed it in the first place. And for RC, I feel like I understand the passage, but I get tripped up during the questions. #help
