I am currently studying for the LSAT 3x a week plus both Saturday and Sunday. After labor day, I am looking to continue this schedule until the DEC LSAT. Anyone want to join, I am on the upper east side of Manhattan during the day (near Hunter college) I am able to meet 3 days a week M-Th. starting 9:30-2:30 Plus the weekend, we can meet any where during the weekend. I am not available during the evening. Since I work 3pm until late evening. I don't have a strong strength, well maybe grouping games, sequence games and Logic Reason such as main point, weaken, main conclusion. i am definitely need help with RC. I am currently studying with 3 people. One amazing guy but it will be taking the test in sept. Once he took the test, he might not be available to study with us. So if anyone here is serious and interested PM me please, we can work together to conquer this LSAT! Thank you. I am looking forward to hearing from you guys.

I've been watching a lot of the logic games videos and see a difference between open ended games and those that you need to make inferences for. Are there any telling signs that you need to make inferences, or is this simply intuition you need to acquire through practice?

With one admissions cycle closing and another about to open, Tajira McCoy and her panel of law school deans field a series of questions many applicants consider at this point of the admissions cycle:

When does it make sense to reapply in the coming admissions cycle (and do I really need to change my personal statement)?

What if I decide to attend the best school that admitted me and then try to transfer next year?

What are the considerations for transfer admission, especially given new trends in legal recruitment?

And, heck, have you ever wondered why you’re doing this Our deans’ give advice to their past selves about the doors and opportunities a legal education will open for them.

All that - and more - is covered in the latest roundtable.

Advice

I am in the sticky middle of my LSAT studying and need some advice. For context, I took a diagnostic in October 2021 got a 140, then I took the August LSAT '21 (148), then again in November '21 (152). I studied consistently from October up until November and am now picking up consistency until the August LSAT. I have been taking 1 pt a week and blind reviewing then reviewing it the day after. I seem to get stuck in the hard and harder LR questions and can't seem to fully grasp parallel flaw question types. I went through the entire CC once but maybe I should go through it again. I can't seem to get higher than 156 and break into the160's. Does anyone have any tips on what to do?

In the interest of writing my LOCI's I've been visiting schools and contacting admissions offices.

I recently contacted a school that told me I was welcome to do a self-guided tour, OR, to wait a few weeks and then schedule a meeting with an admissions officer. They specifically told me it was a "Wait List informational meeting" and that it was "neither evaluative nor an interview."

What exactly is it then? Does anybody have experience with this type of meeting? Is it worth it to wait until after May 15th to visit this school or does that sound late? Does it sound like they'd take my interest more seriously if I did this then just check in at the office for a self-guided tour? I only have the $ to visit this school once and honestly even that is a stretch, so I'd like to get the most bang for my buck.

I chose D as an answer based on the whole passage (It talks about literary techniques, right?), but the right answer is A. I couldn't find which part of the passage makes A is a right answer.

I have no idea why D is wrong and A is the right answer.

Can anyone explain me?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone would be willing to post the ways in which they go about tackling the LR section of the the LSAT. Thus far through my studies LR was always my best section naturally so I did not focus on it as much. However, now that I am trying to learn it I often times get stuck on choosing the best answer choice. The question types do not bog me down it is more so the stimulus often times confuse me with all of the extra details. I am open to suggestions, tips or even a study partner since I take the test in June.

December Test Takers! This is it! This is what you’ve all been waiting for! One last BR and then on Saturday, it’s game on!

My advice: taper down on effort. You don’t necessarily have to do nothing this week (especially LG. Use it or lose it), but this week should require less effort from you than the past 10 weeks have. In other words, don’t do 5 PTs this week. And if you can, don’t look at the score of any PTs you take this week. Confidence is so important for the LSAT, and you don’t want yours wrecked by one stupid score. Just take the PT and BR and then have fun discussing the test in a BR group. And that leads into the last piece of advice for this week: Have fun and remember this Saturday’s test is just PT 77. That’s it! Best of luck to all of you!

Hope to see tutors, mentors, and friends (maybe Mike Kim again :) ) at the Pep Rally. Show your support even if you aren’t taking it this Saturday!

Be sure to announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76 and PM your email for Google Hangout.

  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.

  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it."

  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    Does anyone have any tips regarding familiarizing oneself with law passages (e.g., reading materials, websites)? When I am unfamiliar with a topic whether in RC or LR, I end up re-reading a lot even though I have a fair grasp on the logic. Any tips and tricks would be appreciated!

    Bailey and Henry dive into what it means to “study like a tutor” and why adopting that perspective can make your prep more focused and consistent. They explain how tutors analyze mistakes, evaluate reasoning, and break down patterns, and they show you how to bring those same habits into your own LSAT work.

    I am not really certain how legal education works, but I know bars are state specific. If one goes out of state school, nearby, would we then have harder time preparing for bar. Again, I am not sure how legal education goes but assuming schools of specific state would give preference to teaching laws of that state to prepare students for that state bar. Any inputs would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    I found correlation statement and causal statement are quite easy to confuse in LSAT. I think it is good to come up with list that LSAT usually makes those statements. I can have a go first.

    1/correlation

    sth correlate/associate with sth

    sb find correlation/association between sth and sth

    2/causation

    sth lead to sth

    sth contribute to sth

    sth cause sth

    The list is not complete. Any input is welcome.
