Just curious what the thoughts are on re-visiting a school you are waitlisted on? It is my 1st choice and I first visited right after I initially applied and my application had been put on hold. I have since been put on the waitlist. I am scheduled to retake the LSAT for the last time tomorrow morning. I sent a LOCI at the end of April, & called them mid May to let them know that I would be retaking the exam in June. If I test tomorrow anywhere near my recent PTs I should be 3-4 points over their 75th percentile. My adjusted LSAC GPA is below the 25th percentile, but degree GPA is above the 25th percentile. Myt current LSAT from December is at their 25th percentile.

Oh yeah & their final seat deposit for admitted students is due today. I would either go today (about a 30 minute drive) or sometime next week after my shoulder surgery.

S.O.S. PT 41-50

Anyone out there know how I can get my hands on PT 41-50 without spending exorbitant amounts of money? My unseen PT stockpile is getting quite low and I'd like to dip into the 40s before moving on to the more recent tests. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

I've gone through the all the logic lessons twice and have been drilling sufficient/necessary assumption and parallel reasoning and when I read through many of the stimuli my brain just goes to mush trying to figure it out. I see J.Y. intuitively know how to map things out instantly and I want to get that way but it doesn't seem to be improving. What did those of you who have mastered logic do to get to the point of mastery? Did you use any outside resources for alternate drilling, etc? Thanks for any help.

Last year, I applied to a law school and got rejected. (Because of personal reasons, I could only apply to one school. But this year, I will be applying to a few more schools) My lsat was average, but I thought I had a pretty strong application otherwise. (gpa, extracurricular, reference, personal statement) I got rejected pretty late in the cycle, and now I'm debating whether or not I should call the school to find out where my application was weak. I'm also rewriting the lsat in Sept to hopefully improve my score. Thoughts?

Thank you for your input! :)

I'm on the introduction to logic section, and I'm looking specifically at Group 1. When approached with a sentence like "Whenever it rains, it pours." I immediately, in my head restate it as "If rain, then pours." I know this is correct for Group 1, but I want to make sure thinking about it like this isn't going to hurt me in future lessons.

Share the most unhelpful, naive, and downright stupid comments you have gotten so far regarding your LSAT studying and Law School admission process! I know I can't be the only one with some funny stories.

For example tonight at dinner my Dad said, "(Insert family member here) passed the LSAT in one try, so you ought to be able to too!"

UGH.

Hello everyone! I am writing the June LSAT in New Zealand in 16 days and wondering what else I can do besides taking Prep Tests to improve my score. I've read through countless material on the stuff and done lots of practice but I'm finding it hard to break my scores and really see any subsequent improvements. Is there anything else you can suggest to do to push past the point I'm at now?

This question may be putting the cart before the horse, but I am planning on sitting for the September 2016 LSAT and applying this same cycle (and would like to have apps out ASAP because I'm an aspiring splitter). Assuming all goes well with LSAT prep, how should I time the drafting of my personal statement and letters of rec. Obviously any work on these two areas trades off directly with LSAT studying, so should I plan on using the time between taking the test and getting results to hammer all of this out? Any insight or links to threads where this has already been discussed would be very helpful. Thanks!

Exhausting materials.

How do people study for 6+ months without exhuasting materials. The going on this website seems like the longer the better. I'm confused...are you guys just redoing games alot?

Please share your experiences at your test site!

Last Fall, I researched test sites near my home and even booked a hotel room nearby (thank you @Nicole.Hopkins for that bit of wisdom of planning, just wish my optimum test site had more than an express hotel, lol)

After withdrawing from the Dec test, I took my time to sign-up for June and found that the entire state of GA within a 3 hour drive was taking the LSAT and all test centers were full. I was scrambling to find a test site that would provide the best opportunity sight-unseen. Thanks to Sage advice, I had already visited different types of venues for test day and was concerned about finding the optimum situation.

In a complete moment of panic signing up for a test center, honestly, I was flabbergasted that their were reviews for one of my remaining options. Huge thank you to @bbutler and @kennedybj for their Test Center Reviews at Furman in South Carolina, only a few hours away from me. I booked that test site because of their reviews and my respect for their posts! If I hadn't postponed again, I knew that I could reach out to both of them to share any info about do's and don'ts about the locale to make it the best testing situation for me.

While it may seem insignificant after all that you have done to take the LSAT, sharing your experiences really means a lot to those of us who want to follow in your footsteps:)

Bugs in the android app

Hi,

I've been using the 7sage android app on my Samsung tab and have found a few glitches.

1. The video speed option does not work.

2. The print option on the quiz sections does not work.

3. The top bar menu malfunctions.

I will be applying for law school this fall, and have no idea when I should send my transcripts to LSAC. I have just finished my third year and have 86 credit hours. Is that enough to go ahead and send my transcript?

LSAT Podcasts?

So I'm unfortunately stuck having to drive out of state about 15 hours (each way) and want to make use of the downtime in the car.

Are there any podcasts or (audio) sections of the 7Sage lessons that anyone would recommend? If only I could figure out how to take a PT while driving :)

When I broke the seal on my test booklet, I accidentally made two small diagonal tears in my answer sheet. They didn't come close to the answer bubbles themselves, but they did create two little flaps of paper on the side of the sheet. Is this going to cause a problem during scoring? I'm assuming the answer sheets aren't so delicate but I'm trying to quiet my worrying mind lol.

Negation of ‘few’

I understand that few means some are, most are not.

Ex) Few will show up unless there’s free booze.

/FB -> FS If there’s no free booze, then few will show up. (some will, most will not)

contrapostives:

/FS -> FB If not few show up (some will not, most will), then there’s free booze.

JY equated the second translation as 'If most show up, then there's free booze.'

Can the translation of ‘not few' also be ‘none’ as it also means some will not?

Thank you in advance!

Choosing a test center

Are there any benefits of taking the LSAT in the US? More precisely, I'm considering either New York or Vancouver. I'll be taking the September 2016 test. Would the Canadian LSAT differ from the American one? thanks
