Hey All! I’m studying for the upcoming January LSAT, which will be my second test after recently taking the November exam.

I’m looking to connect with others who are also preparing for January and would be interested in studying together.

I’m located in California (PST) and my schedule is flexible.

If you're in a similar situation or want to study together, feel free to personal message me or comment below for WhatsApp group link.

Looking forward to connecting!

Buttons missing

Hi, just wondering if this is happening to anyone else or if this is a me problem? The buttons seem to be missing on the practice windows - the drills and preptests. Both on the actual practices and on the review page. Like they are still there, you can click on something, but the icons are missing so you have to guess where to press.

Hello, I am doing exactly as the title says and am looking to make an LSAT study group to meet regularly through zoom. We can discuss strategy, schedule practice test times, and help each other out in our studying journeys. Studying alone can get tiring and defeating sometimes, I hope to make a space for individual growth and community support. Availability will be discussed in our first meeting on the 15th at 2 p.m.. Please message me for the link!

Icons disappearing

Check marks showing progress in my syllabus have disappeared as well as the option to eliminate answer choices in drills. This hasn’t happened to me before. Any advice?

Hello everyone, my name is Daniela! I'm currently studying for the September 2024 LSAT.

I'm based in Dallas, TX, and I'm a post-grad working full time. I study on weekday afternoons & weekends, for the most part. I find it helpful to talk about the exam and it would be nice to connect with other test takers!

Feel free to reach out and good luck to everyone studying! :)

Feeling Discouraged

Hey chat, just here to vent.

I'm just feeling discouraged. I feel like my brain is not making the connections needed. I know its a learning curve, but this learning curve is effing steep. I work a 8-5 and alongside from going to the gym, college and personal responsibilities, I tend to study for an 1hr - hour and a half a day for what is usually 4-6 days a week.

I took it for the first time in April of 2023 and got a 143 on the first exam (I only gave myself 2 months to study back then... a bit delusional on my end). I procrastinated and was doing studying on and off until I started to be consistent in September of this year. I feel like mentally I have gotten nowhere for the exam (besides having MC & a bit of MSS questions down).

I know this exam isn't impossible to learn and I can do it, but I just feel like the consistency I put in isn't giving me the results I'm seeking. It might just be mental exhaustion on my end since I only have time to study after 8 or 9pm. How does anyone else deal with discouragement from the LSAT? I plan to apply next cycle and I pushed my test date from February to April earlier this week (maybe that's also feeding into the discouragement? lol).

Any advice is appreciated (3(/p)

HI all,

I'm planning to work really tight for June Lsat. I don't work nor do nothing else other than preparing for LSAT for now. It would be great to have someone to study with. I really hope to finish this test by June...! So anyone want to study full time for Lsat together for roughly two months, please PM me!

I'm living in West New York, the west side of NJ. I can go up to around Fort lee, or go down to Jersey city or NewPort or other areas about half an hour driving away.

I dont prefer but if I have to, I can go to the city as well.

or others who want to do PT together from time to time, please PM me.

Is working as a paralegal before law school guaranteed to provide more satisfaction with the law school experience than someone who just goes in without having worked in a law firm or any type of legal work? can someone break down any misconceptions about this or speak on if working first in the field is smarter than someone who does not?

GPA Addendum ADHD

I'm wondering if I should write a GPA Addendum relating to ADHD. I'm currently undecided, as I've read many conflicting opinions online (some saying it could hurt my application.) Here is my story:

So, I was diagnosed with ADHD in middle school and took medication up until the end of high school. I stopped because despite trying several alternative medications and dosages, the side effects of weight loss and anxiety were far harsher than the medications' benefits. Throughout most of college, I felt not taking the medicine was more beneficial for my mental and physical well-being at the expense of the disability impeding on my academic performance and being unrepresentative of my intelligence. This past summer (2024), I spoke with my psychiatrist and started taking a new medication that alleviates the symptoms of ADHD and doesn't have any nasty side effects. Currently, I am performing at the top of most of my classes but my worry is that this is meaningless because the proof isn't on my transcript. My CAS GPA is a 3.04.

So do I write it? Let me know if y'all have any questions.

Hi! I'm taking the October test and looking for a study group or partner in the St. Louis area. I work full-time, so my availability would be after 4:30pm during the week, and preferably morning/early afternoons on the weekends. Thanks!!

Anyone know of a way that you can print the drills for practice when you are not able to access a computer, e.g. in the car or on a plane? I know I could print some older version of the LSAT, but I'm trying to see what options I have. Should I just get a physical prep book?

Score Decrease - Advice needed

I've experienced a RC score change from -3/-4 (August and September) to -9/-10 (October and November) in timed sections and PTs. My timing for passages have been off as I'm finding it harder to synthesize the information despite review. On passage that I've retaken from early in my study, I'm doing worse than before and getting more questions wrong. Has anyone else experienced something similar with their scores?

Not much has changed in my study routine. I've studied very consistently since July but have placed less emphasis on RC this past month / month and a half. (On the plus, my LR is getting better.) Regardless, I find it strange that my score has gone this way. Have my RC skills really decreased this significantly? How can I get back to my better score average? Any advice?

Thanks in advance. And happy studying!

I wanted to know if it would be a great idea to go through logical reasoning then go back to the foundation sections of the logic section of foundations? I am currently done with most of the log sections and only have logic of causation, but I am still confused about the logic portion. I will go back through it and see what I am missing. I find it might be easier to loo at those sections and figure out what it is like since its stuff that I will see on the test.
