Hello,

My name is Ken Kim. We are a group of Koreans and Korean-Americans planning to take the LSAT either this October or in a couple of years. We have members scoring from 160-175 either on the official test or practice tests. Some of us are committed full-time to the test while some of us are working at a company, law firm, etc. We meet on the following dates at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

8:00 pm-11:00 pm, Wednesday

2:00 pm-5:00 pm, Sunday

We usually meet and do questions from LR and RC. We match our answers and discuss why each one of us have chosen an answer we chose. The fee for joining the study is free other than paying for the studying cafe fee which is 1,900 KRW per person for each hour (5,700 KRW total).

If you are interested, please send me a message to my inbox. I will direct you further. Thanks!

I'm averaging 155 and really hoping to break into the lows 160s for the October/November! Running into timing issues for RC , LG averaging -5, and LR averaging -10 lol (need the most help with). I would really like help creating a study schedule for the next 2 months and also like help for improving on these sections efficiently. Please let me know if you guys have any tutor recommendations or are a tutor yourself! Thank you :)

I'm looking for someone on the west coast who would like someone else to study with. I'm imagining doing some drills via Zoom about twice a week. My practice score range is mid 150s to low 160s. DM if you're interested!

Does anyone know how to access the giant web outline with all the components that the guy uses through the LR sections it looks like a massive web I would really like access to it to see all the essentials components outlined on a visual field.

Do the number of problem sets we're given for different types of LR questions reflect the frequency in which we will see them on actual LSAT tests? For example, we are given 24 Flaw/Descriptive Weakening sets, but only 3 AP sets. Does that mean that on actual LSAT tests that there are likely to be more Flaw questions?

Did anyone else notice that their mouse and or browser was somewhat laggy during the test? this made it really annoying to highlight things and even press on which answer I was choosing.

I doubt that its due to my computer or internet connection because I am well above average in both of those respects.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm assuming its just a byproduct of being proctored but figured I'd ask.

With the 2024-2025 admissions cycle coming to an end, we take a few moments to recap the year. There were the highs (LSAT test taking numbers, applications submitted), the lows (delayed response times from admissions offices), and all the friends we made along the way. We also look ahead to the coming cycle and some of the broader national trends that may affect future law applicants.

I am curious if there is any data out there that people have compiled showing that specific question types take longer than others. If I could guess, I am sure that parallel MOR and parallel flaw MOR questions would certainly take more time just because of the length of the ACs. Beyond that, I am not entirely sure. I have noticed a trend with RRE question target times being higher than something like MBT questions, for example. I would like to use this data to create a skipping strategy of sorts.

I do very well on LR questions but always trip up in one of the following situations:

  • I have misread the question stem, e.g. confuse MSS with "which one does not support", ignore the subject of the stem, etc.
  • I smother over lists, e.g. if it reads "well-read, intelligent, and thoughtful" I smother to "good stuff" instead of treating each trait independently
  • I do not act on the gut feeling that there is something wrong or that I misunderstood the stimulus; a good strategy would be to re-read and check for the issues above
  • I know that being part of and a leader in a community especially in undergraduate studies is something the law school admission bodies like, but Im unsure of whether to not add that I was a member of a fraternity or not. On the pro-keeping it side, I did have leadership roles both formal and informal within the fraternity, and was a part of an organization that enphasized philanthropic work, but on the cons side, being in a fraternity is something that im not sure whether these admissions bodies see negatively or not. On the anti-adding it side, the pro would be that it would be less likely hurt me whether my fraternity gets in trouble in the future or the admissions board is anti-fraternity, but on the cons side of this too, if I omit that I was a part of a fraternity, I dont really have anything else that ties my into a leadership role, member of the community, or a volunteer while in undergraduate life. What do you guys think I should do? Do admissions boards want to see a person add that theyre part of a fraternity or disassociate myself from it now before application time and my senior year commences.

    I just took a practice test on LSAC Law Hub, and I am reviewing my score. I swear it marked some of them wrong that I actually got right. It even says I selected answers that I had crossed out. It is too many questions for it to be me mis-clicking. For this reason, I think my score should have been higher. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Does anyone have any advice about when it is a good idea to log into their Proc U account on test day? Also, I heard someone say that we might have to turn on/off webcam mirroring? Your insight would be appreciated.

    Hey all,

    I just moved to DC for a new job and am hoping I could utilize, in my favor (and yours as well), the fact that there are plenty of people in the area who are studying for the LSAT. I used 7sage for a fair portion of 2018, but had a hiatus with 7sage and the LSAT due to trying to find a new job, securing the job, moving, and now getting acquainted with the new job. Now comes the time for me to get back into the swing of things. I BR'd in the low to mid 170's when taking practice tests last year, but timed I'm just not even close; I am hoping taking a look at this test from a different perspective and physically talking through it with someone will help. Perhaps that's something that would help you as well? If that could be the case, feel free to drop a comment or shoot me a PM!

    In addition to starting a new job, I'm living in temporary housing and moving to a permanent place Feb 1. So, given that life is still a bit crazy right now, starting a group immediately isn't all that feasible for me. I would imagine early February would be doable!

    (For the record I looked in past threads about DC study groups and found that the most recent post was over a month old. I commented on it but I'm not counting on it working due to how much time has passed. Consequently, I figured I'd post a new thread on this.)

    Are you sure?
