Hi all,

If you're interested in joining an LSAT study group (currently about 6ish of us who are consistent) where all we do is co-work on Discord, keep each other accountable via imessage and support each other message/ or comment below!

This isn't meant to be a study group where we review questions and Blind Review, but rather an accountability group for people, specifically first-gen/POC/"nontraditional folks" who struggle to keep a consistent schedule and need a little more support.

If you are the type of person that loves hyping/supporting other people and appreciates words of encouragement this is the group for you :)

    Hi Folks,

    I completed Practice Test 104, and I noticed that PT 104, Section 1, Logical Reasoning is identical to LSAT PrepTest 27 Section 1. Is this common, or is it new because of the format change?

    How can I best avoid repeat sections? When I was viewing LSAT PrepTest 104 before starting, it stated that I had done only one question. This is probably because PrepTest 27 was done with the obsolete format.

    Appreciate any advice!

    Best,

    Stiv

    Hi!

    I'm planning on taking the August LSAT but my study plan has not been the greatest due to balancing a full time job and online classes. I am also registered for the October test and hoping to break the 170s by then.

    My diagnostic was a 156 but have been able to score in the mid 160s since then with my best one being a 168.

    Looking for someone that will be a good accountability partner especially when it comes to practice tests!!

    So I'm registered to take the August LSAT and as I'm studying I've noticed it's more helpful to either be able to read it aloud or be able to have a physical copy in front of me. I assumed writing the LSAT in person in a writing centre meant it would be a pen-and-paper test however I just found out you'd still be writing it digitally. I have since decided I prefer to write it in person in a writing centre and would prefer a pen and paper test however, looking at the LSAC website I will need to apply for accommodations.

    My questions now will follow: (1) do I have enough time to apply for accommodations and still be approved before having to write the LSAT in August? and (2) I don't have any disability/ diagnosis I notice that it helps me better understand what's being said, do I have to apply for accommodations with a Qualified Professional form?

    In other words, is the only way to get this accommodation through having a diagnosed disability?

    Thank you!

    I've read a few discussions already regarding a vaguely similar situation, but just wanted some advice re my specific circumstance.

    So, I completed my entire undergrad degree remotely and did not engage much with any of my professors. I could not pick any of them out of a lineup due to the asynchronous nature of online learning. Given this, I have considered asking a couple of my dual enrollment professors from my senior year of high school who know me quite well and could write a genuine LOR.

    As for my third LOR, I was living in London and working full-time at PwC during my undergrad studies, so I am going to ask a colleague.

    Any advice regarding this situation? Would an addendum do more harm than good? I.e., bring attention to my lack of relations with undergrad professors.

    Hello everyone,

    After reading the LSAC page on the LSAT writing section, it mentions that I will be able to write my essay beginning at least 8 days prior to my in-person or virtual test date. However, everywhere online, I hear of people saying that anyone can write their essay after their test day. Is this true? Where do I find this information?

    First PT was a 164, then a 168 - was stuck in the mid 160s for awhile, then broke through to low 170s, then mid 170s then just today I got a 180.

    Feels really good although I want to keep drilling to ensure that my real score lands somewhere close to this.

    I often run into questions I have already seen on LawHub when doing drills. I would like to skip them, but if I don't provide an answer then these questions are added to questions I got wrong. Is it possible to skip questions?

    What are your best tips for mastering conditionals? I have been PTing much better than I was when I started studying but I am noticing trends in my NA/SA questions being incorrect, as well as a good deal of questions that involve condtional reasoning. I don't find the videos are too helpful in explaining why the wrong answers are wrong vs simply why the correct one is correct... SOS!!

    I am planning on taking the November LSAT and I have been scoring in the 150's on practice tests, is it possible for me to get in the high 160's by November? Not to mention I have no commitments work or school wise, so I have all day and time to study up until test dates. Any advice or takes?

    Hi everyone,

    This is my first time taking the LSAT, started my diagnostic in the 140-145 range, haven't taken a practice test yet, but I am planning on doing that in the next 1-2 weeks. I am preparing for the November LSAT, but based on questions that I have been drilling, it has been fluctuating for me getting 5/6 right on some days and 4/6 on others (Ex. for Strengthen Medium sometimes I get 6/6 and other days 4/6).

    What is a tip/trick that has been helping you out or that "A-hah" moment ?

    How long did it take you guys to fully master a question type like Strengthen and/or assumption, only getting 2-3 or less wrong?

    I officially started studying end of May, how soon have people started seeing results? I am aiming for a high 160 before November. Is this attainable studying a few hours everyday? Let me know your guys' experiences or takes on this:)

    Hello! I have been studying for the August LSAT, and feel like I have come a far way with LR/have been focusing most of my time on that. As I've started doing the more recent PTs, I have noticed my reading comprehension scores have been worse and I have been having a much harder time with them. I went from getting -2ish to -4 or 5. Specifically, I feel like I am running out of time or don't remember the parts of the passage that I need to. Accordingly, I've decided to turn most of my attention to RC.

    Does anyone have any advice on what to study and practice for the next couple of weeks to hone in on a method to attack these passages? I began the RC core curriculum, but I'm not sure exactly what I should be getting out of it. Is time best spent reviewing these example videos, practicing on my own, or doing specific practice drills? Any advice would be appreciated :)

    I have a question regarding Conjunction and Disjunction when they’re present in the sufficient and/or necessary condition.

    I know “and” does not split in the sufficient condition and does split in the necessary condition and vice versa for "or" statements.

    Does that mean if a statement says “A and B -> C” that we need both A and B to be present to trigger the necessary condition? Or 1 of them alone would be enough to trigger.

    Conversely, if it said “A -> B and C”, does A being present mean both B and C must be present together as a consequence? Or one can be present without the other?

    Thank you for taking the time to respond.

    Hi, I’m confused about Q17, where the video mentions that (C) and (E) is part of Haffer’s hypothesis, but I don’t think it is? No where in the passage does it state that upland is more diverse or more dense than low land. It says that low land is drier (which could imply that rain forest-like organisms likely prefer upland), but this feels like overstepping the bounds of the types of assumptions that we as readers can make. The only thing that Haffer says about the difference between lowland and upland currently is that (1) low land is drier and (2) they differ in terms of species.

    Well, since we recently saw a thread for a Christian Study group I reckon it would be cool to have a Muslim one too. Drop a reply and I can DM a link to join a discord server or WhatsApp group or something.

    No shade towards Christians fr y'all our brothers too.

    Any advice or insight on breaking out of the high 150s low 160s? Last 5 PTs taken weekly have been 160, 162, 160, 158, and 158. Been going through the curriculum blind reviewing and reviewing PTs the next day. Also haven’t started studying reading comprehension nor do I review it during the review process of the test. Looking to take in September and trying to get 165+
