Hey Guys,

I'm looking at tier two schools to apply to.

My question is... can i choose which score to send. In other words. So if i took the June 2017 and September 2016 LSAT, and I scored better on september 2016, can i choose this September to send? Or I have to use the most recent score?

Hey sagers,

So I am currently working on fool-proofing logic games, however I do not always meet the suggested target time. I sometimes score 2-3 mins over the suggested target time. I was wondering if that is okay or normal? Is it a big deal if I don't hit the target time for each game. I find myself doing better on sequencing games, and even score below the target time. Grouping games on the other hand.. not so much.

Basically, I want to know if meeting the target time is crucial or does it vary from person to person? Like I can get an entire game correct but I sometimes just take 2 additional minutes to finish it.

Not sure if I will get better once I do more games?

Any tips on how to improve time for logic games?

Thanks!

I was talking to my brother who wrote the GMAT last year, and he said he cannot study anywhere else but his room. He locked himself in there for weeks when he was studying. I like studying at my desk at home too, but I get crazy cabin fever and end up going a little nutty. You can tell when I've been inside for too long -- my skin gets all pale and translucent lol. I tend to study in places that force me to look presentable - i.e. a nice cafe (instead of being at home in PJs all day which usually results in me feeling kinda gross).

Where is your favourite place to study? Cafe? Library? Home? Rented office space? Just curious to see how everyone else approaches their LSAT studies :)

The 7sage LG videos on youtube are great, but they don't have the actual questions, so how are we supposed to fully learn without even knowing the question?

I took the June 2016 LSAT (seems like forever ago) -- I only self studied for 1.5 months and got a 160 -- what did I improve off of? I can't even really tell you. I didn't start taking PTs until a month before, my lowest I think was a 157, highest 162; On my official test, I got -1 on my LG; I can't remember what sections are what on my scan anymore, but I do remember LR was not terrible, RC was just bad.

Anyways,after some big life events I have decided to retake and I am dead set on getting above a 170 (but obviously aiming for a 180, always).

I am here because I have decided to buy the LSAT Starter. Mostly because I never really learned many of the concepts behind LR and the concepts I did learn, I only studied for about a month, and I need some game plan for RC. But, knowing that I am going to have to really drill in LR and RC the most -- should I buy additional books JUST for practice problems and varying levels? I am worried the the Starter won't give me the amount of practice I need or the level.

I know people are going to suggest upping to the highest level, but I cannot shell out that much money all at once. Just not feasible for me.

Hey guys,

So I work full time and I've just upgraded to the Ultimate + Package woohoo! Now, I made my study schedule so that it would end on February 7th a couple days before the LSAT. The way the schedule is set up I study 40.5 hours of material each week. I even find myself studying during lunch. I wish there was a way to alter it so it would cater to my full time work schedule. But anyway, how do you guys manage?

While I'm doing the practice sets for different question types, I somehow find myself doing the BR method as I go through it the first time around and for that reason I take a significantly greater time finishing the sets than I should. I go way over 35 min.Does anyone have any tips on how to move faster through questions when doing these sets, and in general?

Thanks!

"A brief analysis of the table reveals that Linear and Grouping games dominate the percentages, and 91% of games on past tests were Grouping, Linear, or Grouping/Linear Combination games (almost 95% if you consider that Pattern games are also Linear in nature). Other game types appeared relatively infrequently. A student with limited preparation time would obviously be well-served to tilt their preparation towards the Linear and Grouping games as these types appear on every LSAT and are by far the most frequently appearing types of games".

Hi everyone!

I am seriously considering upgrading to LSAT Premium. However, I am wondering, what would happen if during the course I would stumble upon anything and I would need a real person's help to clarify an eventual problem???

Hi all,

I have a mechanical question about using different letters of rec for different schools. How does it work?

I am planning to send 3 letters total to each school. I have 2 letters (1 work, 1 academic) that I am planning to send to every school. Then a 3rd letter (work) to send to most other schools, except the schools that require a 2nd academic reference, in which case I'm sending my 4th letter (academic), and not the 3rd letter.

Then, there are a few additional letters that specific schools require for different scholarships.

How does the uploading, labeling, and sending of these different letters work on the LSAC website? I have been looking at the LOR section on LSAC to see, but I'm afraid to test anything out and then mess it up.

Any advice/knowledge appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm sure this is true for many people, but I am using what clinics are offered at different schools as one of the main ways to differentiate between them. Here's my question, just because a school offers a clinic you are interested in, does that mean you will be able to partake in it? How competitive is it to get a clinic spot? Does this differ by school, and if so, is that information available online?

Here's my subsequent question... Would it be better to go to a lesser ranked school in which my numbers are above the medians to increase my chances of getting into a clinic (assuming I do well), or would my chances be the same if I went to a 'reach' school, and then potentially didn't do as well? What do you all think?

The September 2017 LSAT was my third time and I'm wondering if I should write a score addendum. The first time I took the LSAT (June 2016) was the first full-length test I took. If that wasn't stupid enough, the second time I took the LSAT (September 2016) was the second full-length test I took; I scored a 167 and a 164, respectively. I finally decided to get serious and took 37 full-length practice tests in preparation for September 2017. I'm expecting a score in the low to mid 170s from this past September.

Is highlighter pencil considered as highlighter...?

I am attending the JD Law School Forum in Houston next month and wanted some advice on what questions were appropriate/inappropriate to ask.

I'm most interested in: HYS, Columbia, Chicago, Cornell, and NYU. My main concern is my GPA. I'm aiming for a 170+ but with a 3.58 GPA I'm technically in 'splitter' status for those schools.

Is it too forward to ask the admissions folks at these schools if I should even bother applying with those stats?

Also, any suggestions on other specific questions to ask? If anyone else has attended the forum in the past, I'd love to hear your experience.

Due to financial reasons during my undergrad career, there were points where I was working 25-35 hours a week while attending class full-time. I also had to finish my 4 year degree in 3.5 years for the same reasons. My GPA is slightly above the median GPA for the school that I am targeting, but I do think if I didn't have to deal with those financial situations that my GPA would be higher. Do you think it would be beneficial to have a GPA addendum for such a case? I don't want to seem that I'm making excuses either. My LSAT is at the median score for my first choice school by the way. Any thoughts/insight would be appreciated!

I'm not sure if it's just me, but it seems as though a part of the core curriculum was removed. Whereas before it was ~240 hours long, now it's 218 for me. If it helps, I have Ultimate+.

Hey everyone,

So I just started filling out the basic material on my first law school application and one of the options was to inform which schools I plan on applying to. Is this a trick? Should I put them all on, or not? I have no idea if it's a good move communicating your interest in other schools, especially because this is my number one choice.

In between studying for the December LSAT and writing essays for law school apps, I am starting to feel a bit overwhelmed. I feel like I need to devote a lot of my time on both. Any tips on how to keep my calm and carry on?

Hi!

Two questions:

One: I have been doing neuroscience research for 2.5 years and have 3 publications (coauthored) coming out. One possibility in Nature. My worry is that all of this will only make a mediocre soft for law schools. Any of you have had experience with how do law schools count this "extracurricular?"

Two: I received an associate degree in dental hygiene from a community college. They had a completely different grading system ( A-93% , B85%) no +_... how will this transfer on LSAC? Also I retook 3 classes and only have the second grades showing on my transfer to the 4 yr college. The first takes show as zero hours zero credits.

Thanks!

Or I can just use PT's?

I think this question really gets at the subtly of the "support" role we have to play to make the relationship P -> C more relevant.

I oscillated between A and E but eventually went with A, primarily because I thought the phrase "shout not be allowed" matched nicely with the "government should ban". Even during BR, I stuck to my original choice, which tells me I clearly don't understand this question. I do see that (E) has a conditional statement Promote -> Healthy and that the Healthy is denied because of the premises given in the stimulus but I felt that was also similar for (A). (A) has "people doing things that endanger their health".

So my thought for (E) was that, even though it does suggest that "If not healthy, ad should not promote", it doesn't necessarily link the "government should ban" aspect. This is such a curve breaker question (and there is no JY explanation for this) that I was really hoping someone could shed some light on this question.

If possible, could anyone share their reasoning/understanding of this question?

Thanks in advance :)

What's MBE?????????

Hello Everyone. Quick question, JY speaks of the best approach/framework to a Social Science Passage as being Phenom/Hypo; do any of you happen to know what are the best approaches/frameworks to use for Law, Natural Sciences and Humanities? I think Natural Science maybe be Phenom/Hypo also, but just wanted to have a sounding board to see if I'm headed in the right direction? Thanks ALL!
