I am about to take my second LSAT in June, and just finished my junior year of undergraduate and plan to start applying this October. I was hoping someone would be able to answer my question: When should I request my transcript through LSAC? I was just curious as to how long to wait or if I should do it as soon as possible, but my senior year grades and classes would not be reflected so I am a little confused.
There's still time! Drilling as much as possible before June!
I Did all the passages in RC. Does anyone have the same issue? How should I study for RC?
Episode #67 is here!

Hey all,
I realized a little while ago that I needed help studying and got a tutor (planning to take the June 2024 test). I thought it was going well, but I took my first practice test in a while and got a 153 (my lowest score since my diagnostic test, and way below my average of 160). Is this a normal thing when starting tutoring? I get that I'm relearning how to take the test and knew there would be bumps in the road, but I'm kind of worried about it. I ended up getting questions wrong that I was 99% sure I got right, and thought I was using everything I learned in tutoring. I still have a month and plenty of sessions before the test, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had this experience and if it's a normal thing.
Hello everyone. Since my diagnostic, until now I have gone up about 13 points but I am still yet to reach my goal of 165. I have taken countless PTs and have been drilling almost every day for the past 6 months. My biggest problem is managing my time. In the LR sections, I always finished with 5 unanswered questions. On the RC, I only get to finish 3 passages. I know some say that there is only so much more you can improve after having studied for a long time, but I refuse to believe that I have plateaued. There has to be a way.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to finish on time with accuracy?

I graduated this past weekend and was hoping to order my transcript and get everything for applications sorted before I leave campus shortly. I was planning on buying the CAS so I can get started on ordering my transcript to eventually submit to school but I'm not exactly sure all of the schools I'm planning to apply to in the fall. Should I still buy the CAS and order my transcript if I don't have any institutions listed, or do I have to list all the institutions I want to send my transcript before purchasing? Let me know!
How are people deciding when to take prep tests? Are they not in the curriculum (as they were in v1) or in the study schedule v2 for a reason?
help :)
I'm going through the "Skill Builder - Group 2 Translations" unit of the Conditional and Set Logic section in the Core Curriculum and I'm having some trouble understanding why contrapositives were not used for questions 7.1-7.5. Was looking through the forums and comments under that unit and couldn't find much that explained why contrapositives weren't being used here. I did, however, see a comment that mentioned contrapositives not being used because the conditional language was used to express a potential causal relationship (more than a sufficient-necessary relationship). However, it still seems that those statements are conditional with comparative and causal elements (at least based on the explanations provided for those statements and how I and others interpreted them).
So would statements indicating there being causal and/or comparative elements not require contrapositives, especially if the statements can also be translated into lawgic and indicate there being a sufficient/necessary relationship??
My apologies in advanced if this type of question is meant to go under that unit and not in the discussion forum. It's just that there wasn't much of a response (if any) from the tutors about this.
Hello All,
After my last group died, I made a discord aimed at celebrating Black excellence and giving Black prelaw students a safe space to study and learn about the lsat. I’d love for you to join! We share resources, celebrate each others accomplishments, and have weekly study sessions. If you’re looking for serious study partners then this is the place for you. It’s also a great place to network with future classmates/coworkers/employers.
Confused as to why we did not chain the second rule, O---> P/ (PT36 S4 G1). Previously in PT 33 S4 game 2 there was a similar condition and we did put it in our chain. Did anyone else notice this? I know that any condition with an "and" gives us one option with both games pieces . Any condition with an "or" will give us at least one of the two game pieces. "or" and Both can give us three different outcomes. I just don't understand what are the rules for chaining "or" and "both" conditional statements. Additionally we had PT 23 S1 G2 where we had an in/out game. One of the conditional rules here was Mh +Li--->Oh. Im assuming we could not chain this condition because it was two dimensional ???? Someone please help #help #admin
Hi all! I am planning on taking the LSAT from August up until December 2024. I wanted to see if anyone would be down to having a zoom meeting each week? We can go over practice tests, give each other homework, basically keeping each other accountable because this test is a BEAST. I am studying for this full time, and know how stressful it can get sometimes. I think it would help to being around people who are going through it as well. If interested, PM me and I can create an email thread going to figure out what time works best for everyone, and then create a zoom invite. Let me know!
Hii taking June test if anyone in the Michigan area wants to study together
I've started with Mike Kim's Trainer and got through about 1/3 of the book (skipping LG for the new format). My diagnostic PT was a 160, which is a decent start, but now I'm wondering if I should switch to 7sage's core curriculum and finish that as soon as possible. Given where I'm at and the remaining time I'm at, how should I prioritize the CC, the trainer, and PTs?
For example, should I do 1 PT per week along with the CC and drop the trainer entirely? Or should I finish the CC entirely first then start doing PTs?
Thanks!
I'm taking the LSAT in June- just got a 168 in April, hoping to bring my score up to the low/mid 170s. I will be in the Bryan College Station area if anyone want to meet up to study. Ideally someone also scoring in the mid to high 160s or above.

Hi All,
I'm in search of new music suggestions for my LSAT studying time. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Korean & Japanese music (I'm bilingual, and I understand English and Spanish). I think the Korean & Japanese music helps me concentrate on the material better because I don't get so distracted by the lyrics since I don't understand anything the artist(s) are saying, lol.
Any suggestions for music in languages other than English and Spanish would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone! I'm planning on taking the LSAT this August 2024. Would anyone from the Bay Area and other surrounding areas be interested in any Zoom or in-person sessions for studying and accountability? If you're not from the Bay, I'm still interested in connecting.
Hey guys,
I'm moving through the CC and noticed that I didn't do as well on PAI questions. I'm moving on to Must be True/False questions and wanted to see how you all handled previously learned material. Did you do daily drills in areas you felt you performed worse as you made your way through the curriculum? Did you let your analytics dictate what you studied after completing the CC in its entirety?
Basically, how did you keep your knowledge fresh of previously learned material?
I finished the Core Curriculum about 2 or so months ago (albeit not in a neat, consistent, and linear fashion - took me 2+ years) and after taking some drills in order to determine which areas I need to go back and review, I've gone back into the CC to do just that. I'm currently in the strengthening section of LR and I just finished one of the practice drills after having gone through (for a second time now) the lessons and guided practice questions.
Now, as was the case when I first went through these sections, it is taking me an unholy amount of time to get through these practice drills (anywhere from 20-45 min) and it is getting very frustrating knowing that it is taking me periods of time that exceed or come close to exceeding the allotted testing time to answer a mere 5 question drill. Additionally, and as if to add insult to injury, it isn't even the case that I'm getting all of the questions right within those time frames!
How, other than at the slowest snails' pace, can I possibly improve? I don't foresee myself being able to, at least anytime soon, complete entire sections of a test under simulated testing conditions.
Someone...anyone...please help!
Hi! Anyone down for study sessions in the dallas area. Planning to take June or August exam
Hi everyone! So I applied to 2 law Schools. One where the application status date keeps changing while the other application for another law School hasn't been reviewed since the 12/9/21. I wanted to know what does an application substatus mean? I tried to ask the law school but they didn't respond to the email lol. I also wanted to know why does the status dates keep constantly changing while in review? Thanks!
I know from friends that there is strategy to approaching each section- whether thats numbering logic games on difficulty and taking them in that order or approaching LR questions to save time. Does anyone know if 7sage has guidance on this?
Hi all,
I’m sorry about all the discussion topic posts! When you finish the CC, which PT you recommend starting with? I plan to take the LSAT post-Logic Games so would it have to be the first PT in the reorganized edition?
Please come join us on discord, things are about to kick off into pretty high gear for June, the hundreds of already there would love for you to join us, if you haven’t already. Please pass on the link to anyone you think might also benefit:
