Should I be watching the video for core curriculum and solving the problems before hand?

So I decided to wait until January for the LSAT. I had some pretty significant losses and struggles summer 23 and did not feel I would be ready by November. I even switched full-time jobs in November.

With that is the January LSAT too late for applications too really be considered?

Some people on the forms have talked about this admissions cycle being much slower then normal. Is that what most people are experiencing even in offers?

I have seen so much variation in opinion and I know we are not in the minds of the admissions office, but still just want to gauge general feelings on this.

Stats wise my UGPA was 3.91 (3.92 with CAS report) from a decently competitive institution. I had some technical issues in my final section of the Jan LSAT but otherwise felt really comfortable with all the questions I had.

I know we will all be super stressed until the scores are released...

Hello, I'm struggling with understanding Hybrid games. I have a solid foundation on ordering and grouping but for some reason hybrid is tough. Are there any tutors that specialize in Hybrid games?

Hi looking to create a small group to study with, who already started some studying.

Howdy everyone,

I'm taking in November and probably January. I have access to all LSAC released prep tests but they are in PDF format. I also like the prep test format on Khan Academy. That being said, a few questions...

I took the June 2021 test and the reading and logical reasoning didn't seem too bad, but the logic games seemed very difficult to me. I'm taking August test next week so overall how do you guys predict the games section on the August 2021 will be in comparison? What about the entire test in general? Also the curve for the June test lowered a lot of people's scores, do you guys think the curve will be more in our favor for August?

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for a study partner, I am going through the core curriculum again to gain a more thorough understanding of the sections and concepts. If you are a person that has been scoring high on practice tests and have mastered the concepts behind the questions, and would not mind helping me, please send me a message. Thank you!

I am getting ready to take the LSAT for the second time and most of my PT's have been the 40's-50's because I used the most recent ones up during my first go around of studying. Would it be beneficial to retake one of the most recent prep tests again to try and get familiar with the new trends before test day? It's been about 3-4 months since I last took them. I am just not sure if it would be beneficial to go through material and PT a test again that I had already done a few months back. Thanks for the help!

Why C is the the right choice?

Context: Some researchers claim that people tend to gesture less when they articulate what would typically be regarded as abstract rather than physical concepts.

Premise: Because some people perceived words like xxx, as XXX....

Conclusion: To point out that such a correlation is far from universal is insufficient reason to reject the researcher's claim.

where is the reconciliation?

Hello! Would anyone like to form a study group to keep each other accountable? I am free most of the day and would like to start studying between 9 and 10 am EST time. Am open to Skype, Zoom, text, calls, facetime etc. I am in the eastern time zone.

I have been studying for the LSAT for over a year now and August will be the last time I take it. My $99 Law Hub membership expires in 5 days (It is very annoying that LSAC started making people pay for this last year). Given that I will only be needing to use LSAT material for at most 3 more weeks, I cannot afford to pay another $99 just to stop using 7sage and Law Hub after the August test.

Does anyone have any ideas on if there is any way to only pay a fraction of the $99? I never applied for fee waivers, so I would not be able to get one for the subscription. Any advice is much appreciated!

Superprep! Get your formerly non-disclosed test on! Answer that age old question: Is it really the “Champion of LSAT preparation”?

Note:

I'm chugging through the lesson plans, and I've completed about 45%. I'm writing in December, and I've almost completed the Reading Comprehension lessons.

At this point, when I get ready in the morning, I read through all of the PDF notes given to us. I do the lesson plans in the morning before work for an hour, at lunch on my lunch break, and from 1-3 hours after work.

Does anyone do anything additional to reading the notes? I know he suggested reading The Economist, but does anyone do anything extra? I did do the Kaplan Method previous to this, so I have exhausted a few LSATs, and I don't want to just keep practicing on LSATs in case I run out before I begin the actual practice portion of this LSAT help.

What are you doing?!?!

Thanks :)

Hi,

First time poster, long time lurker. Currently, I am making some slow progress with my PTs. My recent tests have moved from a 155, 156, and most recently a 157. Slow and steady? maybe? A major trend that I am experiencing with all my PTs is that I run out of time on each section and end up guessing 15-20 questions per test (e.g., 1 passage in RC, 1 game in LG, and usually the last 5 questions of each LR section). My blind reviews range from the 169-175- if that matters? Thus, my question is to ask the advice of the 7sage community- how can I improve my speed so I can actually answer those questions that Im guessing? Any help would be greatly appreciated and any similar stories of success with this lagging brain problem would be greatly motivating. Help me 7sage, you're my only hope.

JARU

Hi, I'm having an issue and was wondering if anyone else had the same/similar problem in the past and how they've dealt with it. LSAC has given me the run around and won't "formalize, or whatever" my CAS profile until the issue is resolved, so my profile is incomplete. So if you have any ideas please let me know.

Here's the situation:

LSAC has received all my official transcripts

Transcript from school A says I took class X at school C

Transcript from school B says I took class X at school B

I never attended school C

I did attend school B and took class X at school B

LSAC sees that the transcript from school A says I took class X at school C and labels school C as a school I've attended and failed to acknowledge

I tell LSAC I did not attend school C

LSAC told me that if I did not take class X at school C, then I need to have school A edit their transcript to show this fact and then I need to have them resubmit the corrected transcript to LSAC

School A is no longer a school

School A transformed into school D

School D is the custodian of school A's transcripts

School D cannot edit school A's transcripts

School C has written a "letter of non-attendance" on my behalf and I have forwarded that to LSAC

I've spoken with both people at LSAC proper and CAS, and supposedly last year when I was trying to remedy this problem, the letter of non attendance would be enough to remedy the situation (and this was after a big time sink of call after call after email). Now, I'm getting conflicting input on how to fix the situation from them, and also now they are telling me that the letter of non attendance needs to be sent directly from school C to them via snail mail and that the previously forwarded email from school C containing a scanned document with the signature of their registrar is not enough. Basically, the goal posts keep moving and I have no idea what to do from here.

Problem persists without resolution and the fixes to the problem that LSAC are giving me are literally impossible.

I originally put A, I now understand why A is wrong. But I don't really understand why D is the right answer choice and what it means by "supposed class allegiance"

I am taking the June 2023 LSAT in-person and wanted to confirm the following questions:

Am I allowed to bring 5 pieces of scratch paper to use during the exam?

Am I permitted to bring my own writing utensils, and are there any requirements/specifications that I should note about them?

Thank you!!!

Hello! Is it likely that LSAC will add more test dates to the April 2024 LSAT? I noticed they had 4 October and 4 January dates so I am just curious.

I got this one right in BR, but would like an explanation as to why it is the best answer.

Hi, can anyone elaborate on the math that J.Y. does in this problem in the explanation video? I’m still confused on how he got 200 for one aspect of it.
