I spent the entire summer working 50 hour weeks at a law firm and now back at school for my 3rd year of undergrad. I want to get back to studying for the LSAT which I haven't done since May-ish. Somewhat busy now with school and clubs but I do have some time to start studying again. I finished off the complete course in May and now I have to idea where to pick back up, I don't want to start right away with Prep Tests because I feel like I will just ruin my confidence by taking one after being so far removed from the LSAT. Any Suggestions??

I'm registered for Saturday's administration. I am not ready but if I score at the highest end of my PT's, it will be acceptable if I somehow bomb December's administration. The biggest problem is I am quite sick with a viral chest cold right now and it is not improving. I have a cough that I cannot suppress and I pity anyone who would have to sit near me.

On the other hand, I am definitely applying for this cycle. I just am not going to wait another year... and so it seems like I don't have much to lose from taking it Saturday.

Please advise?

For those people applying to schools in Ontario, Canada (such as University of Toronto) for this November, we need to apply through OLSAS. There are a lot of different things on there and some items might require clarification. Since I think a decent number of us are applying in Ontario, I think it's a good idea that we all ask each other in this thread (perhaps make it a sticky thread). Any random question. Try to make an effort to find out first, then ask here. I'm sure some people have already called OLSAS for things of this nature. Hopefully you all agree this is a good idea. I know I wouldn't mind just being able to ask here rather than having to call if I need clarification.

WEDNESDAY, October 7th at 8PM ET: PT61

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76.

  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.

  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it."

  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    I always wonder how the individuals taking this test coped with this specific logic games section. The second game on this was not difficult, but time consuming as hell, and the last game is like "wth is this?"

    I know it's in the category of ridiculous questions. Now let's get to business. No one likes to waste time filling in bubbles. And for ADHD + OCD perfectionists like myself, when we read "make sure it's perfectly filled in," we make damn sure it's filled in perfectly, wasting precious seconds on the clock.

    So, does anyone know how perfect it needs to be before the scantron reading machine thingy fucks it up? If I leave an imperfect stray mark outside the circle am I finished?

    And, does anyone have any strategies for colouring quicker? (if you noticed the U in colour it's because us Canadians spell it the correct way lol) Do you start with the outside ring and work your way in?

    And yes, I already bought those tri-conderoga pencils.

    So I just looked at the weather and a hurricane will be moving up the East Coast in the next few days.

    What are the general practices for the LSAT and inclement weather? Do they ever cancel? This may be the first time in my life I don't want a test postponed.

    Hello everyone!

    I am desperately looking for advice on how to improve my LR score. I have been studying on and off for my LSAT over the past 2 years with lengthy breaks in between (studying during my Master's was a bad idea). My original diagnostic score was a sad 138 and now I'm scoring around a 153. I know it is really hard to come up from such a low score, but I'm determined.

    I have seen some improvements and have hired a private tutor, but my LR score is stagnating. The most I ever get correct in a given section is 15 and I usually get to anywhere between 17-20 questions on any given LR section. I time myself religiously and almost every single time I get 15 correct. I want to score in the low 160s this December and I am currently dedicating all of my time to studying. I know I am having a serious time management issue, but I'm not sure how to fix it. My goal is to get a minimum of 20 correct on LR.

    I review every single one of the problems I get wrong, but I cannot seem to break this pattern. Are my goals realistic and if so how do I achieve them?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Greetings all,

    Where do you all purchase your PT's? I'm having trouble finding new versions of PT's 41, 42 and 43 at a reasonable price (found each for like $30 on places like eBay and Amazon!!) I would also prefer them to be new, found a couple used copies... used makes me nervous.

    Good luck to all the Oct 2015 test takers!!! :)

    Wtf, back to back LR questions I just can't figure out during BR. Can someone breakdown the answer choices? I eliminated all of them during the timed exam and during BR, so I completely 1/5 guessed B. I am surprised that C is the answer since doesn't it make the absolute vs. relative flaw? In other words, just because most consumers find assembling the product "very easily," why can't the instructions make it even easier? I don't see how C would be at all inconsistent with the principle.

    Hey just wondering where some of you bought all of the PTs.

    On Amazon they sell them in mini bundles. For example, PTs 4-14 and 7-16 etc. However, there is another site called

    http://everylsat.com/ They sell the PTs all together. So you can buy all 72 of them together. I want to know if anyone has used this site or if anyone has any other sites where we can buy them

    I took my last PT before the test this Saturday and my scores fell a lot I have taken about 15 test where my scores consistently stayed in my target range and then for this test I fell almost 10 points. Am I burnout and should stop studying now or work my tail off for the next 48hrs?

    Wanted to check, if Oct 23 is the last date to register for Dec Lsat without paying any late registration fee ? Should i wait for at least few PT results before i register for exams ? I am about to finish coursework and will start PT from next week.
