I decided to take a gap year at the last minute after my recommenders had already submitted my letters of rec into LSAC. Can I still use these letters when applying for the next cycle or should I get them updated. Idk what to do because one was a professor I haven’t had for awhile so there isn’t anything to update and one is from an internship I had for a semester where there also isn’t anything to update anymore.

I have realized that for certain NA questions, when I try to negate the answer choices, the answer choice gets even more confusing to understand. And I don't believe it is because I am negating it incorrectly, it just that when I negate the answer choice it does not make sense at all. Should I keep in mind that it is better to not use the negation method for certain NA questions or should I force myself to understand the negation of the answer choice?
Example question: PT101 S2 Q17
Hey everyone! Does anybody know a way to markup on the questions/pretests on an ipad. Everytime I try it says I need owner permission (even when I try duplicating the file)! It would be nice to be able to use an apple pencil to write on the questions as I go along on either drills or preptests. Advice would be appreciated!
Does anyone know why A is correct here? There is no explanation video so I'm a little confused.

Hi all, is anyone else having an issue where the questions for their analytics have disappeared?
Lets get together october test takers.
Hey guys. I am starting to feel really defeated when it comes to this test. I am doing amazing on the you try its when I was going though the core curriculum and its just getting my timing down for that. I keep seeing just keep drilling and your speed will get better. However, whenever I take a PrepTest, I am BOMBING them. I seem to get more questions wrong and my timing is horrible. I have no idea how I'm supposed to jump a minimum of 10-15 points by October. I have been studying for 4 months now and I have only improved 9 points. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I feel like I'm seeing law school slip through my hands and its crushing me.
I keep getting this message while I was going through my lessons. I tried everything to get it to work but nothing changes. Is this still happening to anyone else ? Very inconvenient.
Also receiving this error message.
I am looking forward to making some study buddies and or eventually making a study group server with like-minded students. I plan to retake the LSAT exam this November. The last time I took it, I totally bombed it. I'm talking about going in with little to no studying since I got too busy with other matters. I'm sharing that embarrassing piece of my LSAT journey because I know I'm not alone. This time, I want to tackle it once and for all. Study buddies help tremendously as multiple brains working together are always better than one. Considering how helpful the comments are under each lesson, I can only imagine how helpful we could all be in a real group setting on Discord. My UGPA isn't the problem, but having a bad LSAT score just looks super bad. Even as a splitter. Most will get what I mean. I've lost a great chunk of motivation for studying after graduating. I just need to stay motivated and I know that when others work together, it feels less lonely. It can even become fun and highly motivating to work together. I hope I get others on board with this post. Message me your Discord user and I'll add you. Let's crush this thing together!! Please and thank you!
Editing to just add in my username since I am switching services soon. My account will probably be named as deleted but the forum may still be active so yeah. I am still active on discord and would still like to have study buddies! My discord user is: ientj
I started studying for the LSAT in June, and I plan to take the test in September. I spent the first month learning the core curriculum and then spent the first half of the second month doing some untimed sections and the second half doing a full timed PT a day as well as BR and going over the wrong answers. My scores keep going up and down, but I don't see an overall drastic improvment from my diagnostic. My average score as of now is a 145-146, and I'm trying to find a way to get that up, but not sure how to do it with only one month left until I take the LSAT. Any tips or advice? Would be greatly appreciated.
How do I print out prep tests? Before there was a view pdf blue button which would then provide me a passwork to my email, however this option no longer shows up.
This question kinda had me befuddled in my initial PT and my blind review, and still I am struggling to understand the question after both. Any chance someone has a better idea of how we can arrive at the answer being C using the question stimulus?
Hi, as I was studying the syllabus today I tried to move on to the next section and received a "404 error page not found." I tried to select another section of the module to see if it would work but the same error occurred, I cannot access any of the material. Is the site down for anyone else?
Hey everyone! Many users are encountering errors on our site today. We're aware of the issue and are hard at work on a fix right now. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you to everyone who has brought this to our attention!
Edit at 11:45 AM EST: And we're back up and running, folks!
Hello, I have not taken my first LSAT so far and I signed up for the August 2024 LSAt but I have not been scoring within my desired range. I am off by 15 points. I want to submit my applications by October. Should I reschedule for September or later?
Hello, I know many of us have the error 404 message and its highly inconvenient. Hopefully the IT technicians can fix this, I was really looking forward to drilling right now as I know many people were also in the mood to study.
Hello,
Whenever I try to open a page regarding any syllabus lectures, it shows Error 404. I have restarted my laptop, logged in and out, and closed and tried to open it.
Please advise on how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
Trying to build a drill of "incorrect when last taken", but since I only have 4 left, it won't let me select the smallest increment (5 questions)...
While accessing the materials the site crashed and displays a 404 Error. I know this had previously happened a few months ago. I'm not sure what happened and what I should do to expedite the fix.
Tried to study and none of the course work is popping up everything says 404 error code , what to do to fix it ? I tried signing in and out and exiting the site
What is going on?

Receiving Error 404 and can't study
Thought I would share my story, if it's helpful to anyone, of how I navigated the LSAT and transferred into Georgetown.
I took the LSAT in Nov 2022 and scored a 158. I retook the LSAT in Jan 2023 and got a 163. Everything is relative, but at the time I was really disappointed (I hoped to break 170.)
I applied to law school but regularly debated delaying and reapplying the following year with higher scores. I applied and got a number of offers, including Davis, and got amazing scholarships from UC Hastings (UC Law SF), Brooklyn U, and a full ride at Seattle U. I took the advice of 7Sagers and was able to negotiate up these amazing scholarship offers. I, ultimately, accepted the offer at UC Hastings where I now pay 1/4 tuition. I knew in my heart that I'd be a better law student than a logic game player. I could have delayed another year, been a year older, and still not gotten the 170. I chose to start school.
How'd it go? I really enjoy law school. Seriously, I do. And I did pretty well in my classes (I ended approx. 30-40/400 students) despite a vicious curve. I also made great friends, worked really hard, and learned a lot. Despite the scare tactics, you don't need a 4.0 to transfer. My GPA was enough to transfer into Georgetown Law.
UC Law SF is interesting. Happy to speak with folks about it. The curve and conditional scholarships make it a very competitive place. The professors have been excellent, but the community is lacking. One of the biggest bummers for me is that in this fascinating, polarizing, confusing time in the law, you'd never know it from my school's events. Very few speakers or symposiums -- makes you feel like you're in a bubble, not the academic heart of it all. The new law building (333) is beautiful though and SF is an amazing city.
As I see it, I was able to secure two great options: a generous scholly at UC Law SF or a discounted Georgetown diploma (basically, 1 year "free"). So if you can't get your LSAT score where you want it, there still is hope that you can get where you want to go. I really think, in retrospect, there is value in just going. It's always possible you'll love your non-T14 school and also possible you'll hate law school so figuring that out sooner is helpful. I also think there is a misconception that transferring is really hard/impossible.
All of that is to say, I remember the panic and futility of not being able to get my score where I wanted it. Don't forget your "score" is not your identity, and it doesn't fully predict how well you'll do at law school or where you'll end up.
