How are you guys tackling each LSAT section?? New at this and need some insight!

I have a question regarding the drilling method that I should be using (Specifically for LR Q's).

-Should I be using the "Drilling" sections in the CC found after each LR question type in order to practice to improve on each of those question types?

-Would doing so too often cause me to lose valuable resources that I would gain from taking the full prep tests?

I want to improve on the question types that I am struggling with, especially the harder questions in those subsections, but don't want to use up all of the material from the prep tests.

If you have any advice on how to drill properly and efficiently your help would be greatly appreciated.

I started a masters degree program prior and finished about 60% of the degree, including a graduate certificate, with a 4.0 grade average. However, I quit and didn't finish the program about two years ago. I'm wondering if law schools will look at this negatively in the application process since they will get my transcript and see that I didn't finish this degree? Schools generally seem to allow supplemental essays to explain things like this, should I be including that in my application? There were many reasons I quit, mainly that I decided that career path wasn't for me after all (it was a masters in economics program, and I decided I didn't want to be in a math and computer coding heavy career).

Looking for people studying for the August Lsat based in philly! To study virtually and in person!

I'm averaging in the low to mid 170s and am aiming for a 17High. Any active groups out there doing review / study sessions?

One of the things I have noticed is that it takes me a while to use the foundational lessons in the PTs and drills. I do not want to use the PTs too much as I am worried that I will exhaust them. Other than using PTs, what are some good resources to read to use as practice to drill those lessons.

So around July I will be done with the CC, and I plan on testing in October. I also know that I may not finish every PT that is available right now, but which PT would you recommend me to start from? should I start with the older PT's or just the newer ones (141-158)?

Thank you in advance!

Can someone explain to me the difference between those two flaw types?

Do the new PrepTests allow you to do blind review? Also, are these all brand new unused questions or where did they come from? I used 7Sage for well over a year to study prior to the new LSAT format but I took a break for a few months, now I am confused about what test questions I should be using for drills and which I should be using for full practice tests.

When I was a teenager, my parents said they would only financially assist me if I attended one of the 3 bible colleges owned by our religion. Well, I got rejected from 2/3. The one I went to has a 95% acceptance rate. I think it's rather implied that if a college has a 95% acceptance rate, their curriculum is probably not that rigorous or challenging. I graduated with a 3.96 GPA, magna cum laude, full scholarship, and regret attending there everyday for numerous reasons and also because I am no longer a part of that religion.

Will T14 or T20 law schools care about where I went? I know everyone says GPA and LSAT are the two most important pieces of your application, and although I have a high GPA, I'm trying to get a really high LSAT score to compensate for the fact that I attended a college with a 95% acceptance rate, but is this something I should worry about? I really am quite insecure about it.

Edit: It is an accredited college by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

I'm planning on taking the September LSAT but would like to take a diagnostic exam before I start the bulk of my studying. Which practice test would people recommend I take as a diagnostic?

I need a study buddy to hold me accountable for studying for the LSAT. I am one month into my studying journey with 7sage.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a study group in Boston. I am hoping to take my first test in August or September. I am going to be moving back to the city on June 24th and I am looking for others to study with. I will be working a 9-5 so if you can study in the evenings or on weekends that would be ideal. PM me if you are interested!

Hi there,

I've been logged out of my account, and every time I try to log back in or reset my password, I experience problems. SOS #help I can't study!!!

Hello!

I created a discord channel for those who are aiming for a 170+ and are serious about getting there.

https://discord.gg/Ha8Jdhd2

The chats in it all serve a specific function. From specific question help to timing strategies.

There are also voice channels to blind review PTs and to be held accountable during study time.

Let’s push each other to our goal!

hi! as the title indicates, i've done 3 PTs and went from a 166 to a 173, and then back down to a 167. i know studying more doesn't guarantee higher scores, but i was disappointed because i felt like i was on the up-and-up, lmao!

from your experience studying, what is this kind of fluctuation indicative of? and do you have any tips for scoring consistently at your target? i really appreciate any insight, i'm getting a bit in my head about this so i imagine being grounded by the community would be helpful!

Hey! I'm Sonia. I'm planning on taking the LSAT in September, and was wondering if anyone from the Salt Lake City area would be interested in becoming study buddies?

Let me know by dming or responding to this post!

Thanks :)

What is the difference between observation and phenomenon on LSAT?

Hello!

I recently took PT138 from the August 2024 and later tab and noticed an LR section completely overlapped with one I had taken with a logic game (PT60). Assuming the new tests are randomly distributing an experimental RC or LR section to keep the test at 4 sections, is there is any way we can block or substitute the extra section if we already took it?

(i.e. PT138 pulls three sections from the Dec 2012 exam and 1 from June 2010 (which in this case I already took); can we substitute that June one with a section from a different exam or just block it entirely?)

I find the way 7sage goes through the reading comp passages soooo useful. Although I have one problem and do not really know how to navigate it. If I take my time when going through the RC passages and review it the way I learn in the videos, I find myself taking 30 minutes to do 2 passages...and that's just not good.

How do you guys condense your time reviewing the passages, while using JY's method?

I keep choosing the second best answer, and then watch the explanation videos and understand why the answer I chose was wrong, but yet I keep doing it. Any advice on this?

Hi guys,

I know that it's not good to start in the Spring semester compared to the Fall semester but let's just say that I start in the Spring semester then plan on transferring after 1L to a better law school.

Is it actually possible to transfer after 1L with spring semester start? or do you know any schools that do accept?

I know that you can for the Fall semester start and I know that it's going to be difficult and people will say I shouldn't attend if I plan on transferring to a new school.

But besides all that, is it possible?

Any experience or opinions?

Thank you.

Hey ya'll, I'm a 170 scorer and I'm planning on taking the August (or September) LSAT, I was wondering if there'd be any high scorers out there like 176s that'd be willing to study with me and discuss logical reasoning questions?

They do say that it's also helpful for people who know their stuff to continuously articulate their thinking to others in order to solidify that knowledge :D and I can be a good listener. I found that I learn a lot more when I talk to people about my thinking and hear their input, so it'd be great if I could establish this with someone.

Thanks!
