My GPA is 2.6 and my June LSAT score is a 176, 4 yrs WE. My dream school is USC. I am having trouble figuring out what to do with my ED. Is there a point to apply ED to UCI as a safer option? Would EDing USC be a waste considering my GPA? I wouldn’t mind being admitted to either school, I just want to maximize my chances.

No pressure to meet regularly, but would be nice to know more people studying around Boston area for fall.

Lets buckle down and start studying 3-5 hrs a day.

DM me!! Let's get a little group started to keep eachother accountable.

I understand most law schools require two, but will accept up to four LORs. Assuming I have four different recommenders that can write me a solid recommendation, is there any downside to submitting the maximum allowed letters?

Hello,

I am having trouble wrapping my head around question 25 of LR section 2 of the November 2019 LSAT. The question states:

"The generalization expressed below most helps to justify the reasoning in which one of the following arguments:

An arrangement of objects tends to be aesthetically pleasing to the extent that it gives the impression that the person who arranged the objects succeeded at what he or she was attempting to do."

I tried to diagram this since that is how I think about questions like this, but am confused after watching the answer key video. Does anyone know if this should be, "Aesthetically pleasing -> Impression of Success" (Aesthetically pleasing requires the impression of success) or "Impression of Success -> Aesthetically Pleasing" (if there is an impression of success, then we know it is aesthetically pleasing)? I think it is AP -> IS but am not 100%.

I am finding mixed responses when trying to search this question online, if anyone can help figure this out. I also am not sure why answer choice B of this question is wrong. Answer choice B says:

"The wooden panels in the art installation probably are not arranged in the way that the artist wanted them arranged, for the installation is less aesthetically pleasing than other installations."

Does that tell is ~AP -> ~IS? (given it is not pleasing -> did not succeed?)

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Heyo! I am looking to get a group of girls together to study for the LSAT in person, preferably :) I plan on testing in August and have tons of books I'd love to share. Dm if interested

With the removal of logic games, i'm anticipating LSAC to make up for the difference with a harder LR section. All LSATs are hard, but what level of hard might next month's test will be?

I want to get into the best school possible and receive as much scholarship $$$ as possible. My goal is BigLaw after graduating. Am I completely delusional? Are these goals attainable? Should I switch life tracks completely?

I did a drill set and under the "explanation" Drop down it just said discuss. Any suggestions on how to view explanations for drill questions?

I am a low 150's scorer on average with most of my PT's, and have seen my fair share of lsat questions from having put in many hours already along with taking the test twice, and have noticed recently that in these PT's my highest section is always the experimental. As you may realize, this is very frustrating for me, for where I am scoring 15, 16, 17 questions right in the sections that are counted, I am almost always consistently scoring in the 20's for ONLY my experimental sections. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a reason for this pattern? I seem like I'm going crazy missing out on my highest scoring section not being counted in my score. Maybe it's just bad luck.

First some context.

My top school is the law school associated with the college I went for Undergrad.

My college is also in my hometown, and I have extremely close ties to the college (I was going to football games, baseball games, and other events they've had before I could walk).

I graduated in 2022 and now live on the other side of the country working for a nonprofit.

Should my Personal Statement be how I want to go home, which is true, study law there, and all of that. Or. Focus not on my desire to go back but rather my experiences post-grad?

Thank you all!!

Looking for a study buddy or a study group for the September exam!

As today is LG's official funeral, would anyone like to say any last words before the sweet chariot swings low? I am testing today, and plan to give them the love they deserve (3(/p)

Is there anyone out there who can explain the answer choices to this passage?

Perhaps the magazine has worked for you, but I find the economist to be very soft reading material and unsatisfactory for RC improvement. For a food analogy, It's like chewing Gerber baby food, when RC passages are like tough sinewy steak.

However, I will say that what seems to work for me is reading philosophy books, in particular books by Daniel dennett. I'm currently reading his book Intuition Pumps, and after reading a few chapters of it, when I do rc passes, I feel myself breezing through them. (I know he's most famous as a new atheist, but his philosophical insights are his most impressive contributions to thought in my opinion).

If you're struggling with RC give him a try. Freedom Evolves, Brainstorms, etc. He has many books from decades of writing. Also, consider that every lsat question you've ever read was written by someone who was either a philosophy PhD or in pursuit of a philosophy phd. The two subjects , LSAT and philosophy, seem to be almost the same thing. Best luck to all, keep studying!

Hello,

I made a final push for June of 2024 (trying to maximize LG's) with the hope of hitting 170. I fell about five points short of that goal and am feeling a bit stuck. On the one hand, I was making substantial improvement with LR/RC. However, I feel that the uphill battle to claw towards the 170 with just RC/LR will be a challenge. I've PT'd in the past in the 170s (with LGs) and have seen RC/LR scores that indicate that I'm capable of getting close to that margin. I was wondering if anyone was feeling the same way and was wondering how to approach the post-June LSAT if you're in a similar predicament. I've put a lot of time and effort towards getting a 170 and hate to fall five (albeit a big five) points short. Was hoping to see if anyone had any advice or input in a similar situation. Thanks.

Hello all,

I am a competitive powerlifter and feel this makes my application stand out a little. Would asking my coach for a letter of rec be appropriate? She

I have gone through all the lessons and have a probably a decent grasp of the methods and strategies of tackling the LSAT. For example, I can blind review myself into a 173+ score. However, during the test itself, I just magically forget all my knowledge. During the blind review, I often question if it was even me who did the test because the answer choice chosen was so obviously wrong. It's probably a combination of nervousness, fatigue, and pressure that makes me "lose my abilities". Any advice on how to deal with this problem?

I am taking the August LSAT and live in south central Wisconsin. If anyone else is prepping for the LSAT (even later in the yr) let me know and we can study together! Have been going solo for several months now, would love a partner

I'm starting late and planned on taking the test in October to be in the earlier pool of applicants. My GPA is 3.73 before uGPA and raw diagnostic was 148. Because my stats aren't great, I feel like applying early is my only shot. Do I even have a chance?

I have been preparing for a couple months now and I am trying to create study group of ambitious students looking to score a 170+. As a group we will preferably meet online and use Slack or Discord to chat keep each other accountable, and have meetings together to talk about certain sections to improve.

Reply to this post or feel free to text my account on 7sage. Hoping to meet you all!

I am taking the new LSAT with just LR and RC. Which basleine exam should I take? 7Sage did not direct me to one when I started the curriculum.

I'm a bit confused of the way the 7Sage study schedule is laid out. I'm planning to take the test in October and in the custom Study Schedule 7Sage created, there is no time dedicated to drills in any of the weeks and all the practice tests are bunched up in one week (Week 10 in September).

Does anyone have a recommended study schedule to use integrating drills and practice tests throughout the process? I want to make sure I'm actually drilling questions and taking practice tests ahead of my test date to work on areas I need to improve on.

Thanks!

As the title... is it in the prep tests section?

I've been doing a lot of drills lately but I'm starting to worry that I will ruin my ability to do practice tests if I become too familiar with all the questions. Is there a way to avoid spoiling respective PTs while still completing a sizeable number of drills?
