Final Week of Feb 2025

Hi hi!

It is officially the last week of the February 2025 LSAT and I have been receiving mixed advices of what to do in this last week. Some say do around 2 timed sections per day and don't do anything the day before the test, and some other say keep it chill, do at most one section per day or drills, don't do too much.

I am kinda lost, and I don't really know what is "too much" or "too little," so I would appreciate any advices, thoughts, or past experience on this. Thank you and good luck to whoever is taking it this month!!!

Hi everyone- I am currently going through the foundation section of the curriculum and I am now under the Conditional and Set Logic portion. Is it necessary going through the entire foundation curriculum before going into LR. Since there is so many question types in LR I was hoping to learn a new LR type each Monday and focus heavy on identifying the question type, breaking it down and answering it.

Am I wasting time? It has been very helpful but I wanted to know if you all went straight through it or bounced around... for time purposes. I am hoping to take the test in April, but may push back to June.

I currently work at a small law office in NYC. A couple of weeks ago, I got accepted into my dream law school and will be enrolling for fall 2025 so my position will be open starting April.

This role is a perfect opportunity for those preparing to go to law school. It is only part-time so you will be able to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials. Additionally, the role leaves a lot of free time during the work day to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials as well. Another amazing thing about this role is that because you are working in a small law office, there is a lot of room for growth and learning. I truly believe this work experience made a difference in my law school application as I had the opportunity to begin drafting legal documents, learned what I liked/did not like about the field, was able to study for the LSAT during work, and got a great recommendation letter from my boss. A huge plus is that the staff are extremely friendly and flexible.

If you applied this cycle but are deciding to take another year off or have not yet applied, this might be a perfect opportunity for you. PM me if you are interested - serious inquiries only please.

When is too early to ask for a letter of recommendation? There is a certain teacher I would like to ask, and it would make sense for me to ask for one now instead of later. However, I am unsure if it could be deemed too early, or if I will need to reach out to the recommender when submitting my application to have them submit their portion.

Flaw Questions Slump

Hey everyone, I'm scoring around low 160s and having a lot of trouble with Flaw/Descriptive Weakening questions. Even after reviewing the core lessons, I'm having trouble identifying an approach beyond this test: "1) descriptively accurate 2) describing the flaw." I feel like this approach is vague, and it rarely singles out an answer for me. Anyone have some tricks they can share for approaching those 4/5 star Flaw questions? Thanks.

I just want to give a world wide shout out to Nicole Agrononik the 7 Sage tutor. Her teaching style of covering theory before practice has been a god sent to me and Im sure for everyone else. I am at a 92% for PSAr questions and I give the credit where its due. She explains things in a way that's easily understood. IDK who taught Nicole but I'm thankful for them too. I want to thank her mama for having her. I just watched her flaw factory class and I am telling you I thought I knew what I false dichotomy was and Hello. I didn't. So, I just want to give Nicole a hellafied praise for STL.

My current University GPA is a 3.94 which could basically get me into any law school if my other factors are good enough. The only problem is that I took dual credit courses in high school that will lower my LSAC GPA to a 3.7. I started dual credit my freshman year of high school, so I was only 15 years old when I earned the majority of these poor grades. Any reasonable person could assume that the bad grades I made when I was 15 and fresh out of middle school do not reflect my performance as a law student/lawyer, especially considering that my university GPA is a 3.9. Complaining aside, my genuine question is: will law schools take this into consideration? Or will they just look at my 3.7 and immediately dismiss me?

I know a 3.7 can still get me into law school but all my dream schools have 3.8 or 3.9 medians. I'm feeling extremely discouraged because I totally forgot about these dual credit grades until now. I've been studying extra hard to meet these schools median LSATs and now it feels kind of pointless. Any insight into the brains of admissions councils will help!!

blind review

Hello,

I was wondering if I should blind review my first test? I'm not really familiar with anything in the LSAT yet nor do I fully know what blind reviewing is so I'm just wondering on if I should do it for my diagnostic!

Hi! I understand the value in drilling to learn concepts, but I am also big on following the lessons in the course syllabus. Wondering how other people use both in their study plan? I am a bit confused by how the drills section is set up... I am wondering if it is because I am just getting to the "grammar" section of the course? Will I understand how to select those better once I have covered more of the lessons? Open to any help or suggestions :) Thank you!

RC Actual vs Target Time

How should I be reading the target times for RC?

Final bits of crunch prep before the Feb 8th LSAT, and I'm struggling most with worrying about time. I noticed that RC Drills have both a Target Time Goal for the passage AND the questions, so how should I be interpreting the time? Is the target time that's listed under the passage specifically for the passage? and separate from the target times of the questions?

Say, for example, my elapsed time for a passage was 3:33 but the target time is 8:53. That target time of 8:53, does that include the questions for the section as well? or is that solely for the passage itself and I should be taking that and adding the additional target times from the questions to gauge the overall target time for a RC section.

Hi all, I applied to some law schools last year but it didn't work out for me as I'd hoped. Now I am reapplying to some of these programs for the Fall '25 and was wondering if I need new letters of recommendations? For reference, I am fully employed but my work situation is currently more or less the same as the last time I applied. Also, I've been working for almost 3 years now, so am wondering if it's ok to include one LoR from grad school and 1 from work, or whether both should be from people who have known me recently, ie. work? Thanks in advance for answers!

LSAT houston study group!

Hi all future law students among me,

Anyone interested in joining a study group in Houston for the upcoming LSAT dates? Personally I am taking the January exam but am interested in joining or creating a group to help and encourage each other for LR, RC, and applications!

Let me know if interested and I can create a groupchat!

Hi,

I took the lsat back in November and completed the writing section then. It was approved. I'm taking the lsat again in February and am wondering if it's at all worthwhile to do the writing section again? I know you're only required to have one take, but I'm wondering if having 2 submitted writing sections would somehow be helpful for admissions? Like providing them with 2 writing samples instead of 1? Not sure what my best move is here, I appreciate any thoughts!

Thank you!

AC that is descriptively correct but somewhat falls short of MP (but isn't completely off)

vs

AC that is stronger than what the passage said (but doesn't contradict), but except that captures the MP

Here's the example of the two

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-121-section-3-passage-2-questions/

AC A and D in Q6 are the example of the former and the latter, respectively.

I believe D is stronger than what it was said in Line 52~53 (Indeed ~ Intention), because

D is saying that "unconscious revelation" is guaranteed to happen, while the passage only gives it as sufficient condition (unconscious revelation → more authority)

Some might say that the passage is actually trying to guarantee "More authority & Unconscious revelation", but I believe it was given as a conditional relationship, because Q10 is to see if we have understood this relationship.

So back to my original question, do ACs like D always win ?

(I know we don't have do look for "perfect" AC when it's "most accurately" question. I just want to know which quality weighs more)
