If you send in your transcript and apply to law school the fall or spring before you're actually admitted the next fall, wouldn't your transcript be incomplete if you don't graduate until after the spring semester? Or even fall semester depending on when it was sent in.

Hi guys,

I'm looking to apply this season, and am having some difficulty deciding how to proceed the LOR process. I graduated in 2015 and already have 2 professors whom I've worked closely with agree to write LORs, but am considering asking for a third recommendation from my place of employment (I've been working as a paralegal at a law firm for the past year and a half).

A couple of questions on this since time is running out:

1. Would it look bad if I didn't obtain a letter of recommendation from my place of employment? I know schools prefer academic recommendations, but I feel like it might be a little sketchy to have worked a year and a half and not have a letter. I think I could get a nice letter, but am not positive that it will be as strong as my academic letters.

2. Does ranking matter a whole lot in deciding which associate(s) I ask? I'm deciding between a more junior associate and a mid-level associate. I've worked extensively with both, but I feel like the junior associate might write the better letter. I was told that law schools might view the junior associate's letter as more of a letter from a "peer" though. Is this true?

3. If a school limits submission of LOR to 2, should I submit the two academic ones, or one academic one professional?

Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!

So I have an option to go to a law school in around 18--30 range ranking. I also have an option to take a year off and study more for lsat. Is 18-30 a bad return on investment? Reallu tough decision for me here

Hey guys,

I'm currently working through the CC and I plan on finishing by October 24th. From then onwards I plan on doing 2 PTs a week (from 70 and up) until my December 3rd test day.

I've been studying since June and prior to starting with 7 Sage I took a KRAPLAN course and took about 15 PTs, in the lower numbers. Do you think those 8 or so PTs after October 24th will be sufficient?

Also, if I should aim to finish earlier, any idea on what I can skip in the CC? Thanks!

This is a weakening question, I wouldn't call it a curve breaker question but it definitely gave me some trouble.

I know why (B) the credited response is correct, however I am having a tough time articulating why ( C ) is incorrect. This was attractive to me because I initially thought that non-rodent sample that the researcher used was not representative thus weakening the reasoning in the argument.

Hello all, I postponed writing the September LSAT because I didn't do any of the 60s and 70s. Now I am registered for the December lsat and i'm wondering if my game plan is strong: so full timed PT 60,62,64,66,68, and ALL of the 70s before the real test. As you can see i'm not doing all of the 60s (I don't have enough time) and I'm wondering skipping 5 of them (doing every other one) is an okay game plan? I might just do timed LG sections for the ones i'm skipping.... any suggestions?

I have never blind reviewed a test. I just review the questions I miss or am unsure about. What are the benefits to the blind-review method?

Hello,

I'm not sure whether anyone knows an answer to this question, but could anyone give me advice? :(

So my accommodations are granted, but I found that I may need to ask one more accommodation.

I thought I do not need it, so I did not ask before, but after a long period of studying I found that I actually need it.

Can I email them and ask about this?

Or if I do so would it cause any troubles?

Thanks

Hello,

I have a question about the blind review method. If I'm taking a practice test, should I BR each section right after i finish them, or is it better to take an entire timed test, then BR all of it? Apologies if this is answered elsewhere. Thanks in advance!

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

Electronic communications such as email, text messages, chats, and posts on the "walls" of social media sites are considered by psychologists to be "impersonal" forms of communication, meaning that the sender of the communication is distant from the receiver of the communication. This separation often results in misinterpretation by the recipient. Since such communications are also primarily one-way interactions, there is no chance for the sender of the communication to realize and correct the misinterpretation. Electronic communications should therefore be ____________.

Used only when face-to-face communications are not possible.

Written in straightforward language that is not liable to various different interpretations.

Used in situations where personal communications might be embarrassing.

Forbidden in professional occupations, such as medicine and law.

Used as frequently as possible, due to the convenience of avoiding lengthy conversations.

I fell for the trap, choosing A. Any thoughts how to eliminate A.

Mine is for sure PT69.S1.Q14

The test writers really outdid themselves with this one. For some reason this concept is just really interesting to me (the flaw). Perhaps how properties of two things when taken independent of each other can be different when you combine them together.

This relationship is easy to see when you have different color paint etc but in LSAT world I found it super interesting.

Spent 30 minutes trying to understand what was wrong yet still could not understand the flaw until I looked.

I have been studying for the LSAT for close to 5 months now. I don't know what my diagnostic score would be as I never took one. The first practice test I took, I scored around a 165, and I am now scoring in the 171-173 range. I took the LSAT in September 2016 and I am not confident I hit my target score of 173. I want to retake in December, but the question is - Should I aim higher? Is there a point in postponing until February? It's such a small score improvement that I think I am capable of scoring higher, but I do not want to waste another 3-4 months working at something where I really don't have a chance of improving much.

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of ordering an LSAT watch, any recommendations?

Hello Everyone! I am new here. I am from Pakistan and applying for fall 2017 at Northwestern University! There's no LSAT group studying or coaching provided in my country :( I have a full time job right now, I am Assistant Manager Legal for a company in the energy sector. I am going to take the December LSAT. My husband is in Chicago and I'll be moving to the US next year (just waiting on my immigration visa) sooooooooooooo basically i'm REALLY nervous and just wanted to introduce myself and get some help from you guys! is anyone opting for the 2 yr JD program at northwestern? what are your thoughts on it? and is two months enough for a good LSAT score? (i understand there's not really a yes or no for this question!) sorry if i am all over the place!

I was wondering how is recommended in terms of time to take on Parallel Method of ?s

Hello,

Just wondering how other students do...

If you have free time all the day, (weekends, summer vacation etc)

Thanks!

Preptest 25 - Section 3 - Game 2

I don't get question 10 and 12!

Can someone help out for question 10? I don’t see why it’s not answer “C,” which allows four tourists to speak Turkish.

@dannyy121 Mentioned:

“For Q10, is it also possible that H,I,K all speak Turkish? My board looks like:

V: M

X: N

Y: H & I & K

Z: L

Each tourist can speak only one of the languages that the guide can speak. so in case where N and L speak Spanish, N can also go to X, since X speaks Spanish and Turkish?”

Because of this confusion, I chose answer "C," but the right answer is supposed to be "B."

Given the rules, I feel that this is an acceptable situation. What am I missing?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Q12, I don’t see why exactly 3 tourists don’t speak Spanish (answer “C”). My board looks like:

V: K

X: M & N

Y: H & I

Z: L

“M, N & L” all speak Spanish, which would make “C” a choosable answer. Can someone help me out here?

I don’t see where I went wrong. In my eyes answer “C” and “E” are right, and I chose answer “C,” but the right answer is supposed to be "E."

Note:

Hi,

I thought "other cases" are alwas irrelevant to the case discussed in the stimulus...

I thought "yes, maybe that happens in this case, but may not in the specific case discussed in the stimulus."

So I kind of always eliminate those answers.

But for example in PT 71 Sec 1 Q12...the correct answer is B, which uses other mountainous regions to support the argument.

I cannot recall exact question numbers, but I'm pretty sure those answers including "other" things are red flag...

So my question is...

When do these "other" choices work and when do not?

Do they work in support/weaken questions always?

I just thought those "other" cases are irrelevant in discussing what happens in the stimulus.

I'd appreciate any insights.

Thanks

Do you guys check the law school ranking by law field? For example, if you want to practice health law, U of Wash in St.Louis is the first school, comparably Berkley is the first in intellectual law. Is general ranking of law schools more important for you (considering you know which law you want to practice)?

Hey Guys,

I seem to have a dilemma. I cannot Blind Review. Well, I CAN Blind Review, I just can't bring myself to do it. As I'm going through the curriculum I'm doing section worth of LR questions (about 25 questions) on the video set I just watched. I recently finished the MSS video set and then did about 25 MSS questions. First timed, and then I tried BRing. HOWEVER, I LEGIT GET SO LAZY AND SO IMPATIENT WITH FINDING MY SCORE THAT I DON'T FOCUS OR EFFECTIVELY BR.

Are there ANY tips on how to force myself to BR properly. I may try doing less questions - maybe that will help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I know I'm losing out on valuable points by BRing like a chump. I'm not sure if I need motivation, or a better strategy or whatever.

Thank you,

Hi,

My question is regarding my GPA and how it looks for law schools. My GPA is really low right now its a 3.56 Poli Sci major and Minor in Environmental Studied. I was hoping to take extra classes to boost my GPA and was wondering how that would look for law schools. In addition, I was wondering if it looks better to take the courses at my University than at the extension school of the University or at a local community college.

Since attending classes at my actual university is really expensive I was hoping to take extra classes at the extension school or at a community college, but I was thinking that Law schools might look down on that. I attended university straight out of high school and the GE's during my freshman and sophomore year of college really killed me. I was wondering what was the best recommendation.

In addition, I am able to graduate earlier than expected this year, during winter quarter, and was thinking of taking extra classes for spring, summer session 1 and summer session 2 to hopefully get my GPA higher.

I'm planning to take a year off after graduating to apply for Law school. I'm taking my LSATs in February and possibly June if the February score isn't where I want it to be.

I'm trying to get my application as competitive as possible and hoping to get advice.

Thanks!

Hi I was wondering if there was a list that shows for each game how long you should spend on it? JY tells you at times during the core curriculum the max amount of time for a 160/170 score and I was hoping there was a list for all the games so I can gain a solid foundation for when I get to a game during the actual test around how long I should spend on it.

For all of you taking the December LSAT, what are you currently scoring and what are you aiming for? Just trying to understand if my goals are realistic. Thanks :)

I understand why the correct answer is right, but I'm not so sure about the incorrect answers. If someone can check my reasoning and see if I am correct, I would be so appreciative and grateful!

A) This answer choice discusses luck which was never talked about in the exchange. I also think it is wrong because of the word "rarely" while we know that some farms have positive successful rates which the critic argues against, we don't know the rate of the farms success.

B) The critics do not show that the results would be different if twice the amount of farms were studied; they only say the farms studied were the ones that were amenable to natural methods, the results would be the same because of the farms selected under study

C) This is true except for the fact that the critics show justification for their reasoning (farms that were selected for study)

D) They don't demonstrate that natural methods are not suitable for the majority of farms; they only point out that if a self selecting group is used for a study, then it is not representative of all farms using natural methods

E) captures the flaw, the study is saying natural methods success rates is possible, not that it is representative for all farms
