The title says it all but I'd really like to know what exactly do you do when you get questions incorrect for RC, especially confidence errors? I have questions where I literally cite the lines I get my answers from and it still turns out to be...incorrect. My first instinct is to look at the answer key after BR and the 7sage video but I'd like to get any tips on how to improve my protocol because the routine I've been doing isn't getting me beyond the mid-160's.

And as always, if anyone reading this post is exceptional with RC, I am also open to any one-on-one tutoring you could provide. If that is the case, I would like to see your score first and have a trial lesson before I fully commit. I want someone who could teach me some overarching concepts about RC because I've been mainly focused on trying to understand the content of the passages alone and it isn't working. I categorized this post as RC but honestly, it can extend to LR as well. And I will pay you by hour after the session is over before we log off zoom.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I took the Feb 2022 LSAT and my score still has not been released. Should I be worried now? I expected a slight delay in the release, but not this long! Has anyone else who took the Feb 22 LSAT not received their score yet?

Thank you!

Is it a good idea to reuse personal statements from previous application cycles? Long story short: I applied during last year's cycle (2020-2021) but decided to work a year and reapply during this cycle (2021-2022). My statement was well-written and even received positive feedback from my colleagues and peers. That being said, should I go through the process of writing a new one or just edit/revise/add to the one from the last cycle? I wanted to confirm that it doesn't put off the admissions reps who may have previously reviewed my application.

I know how to translate rules when there is an indicators present but I am having trouble when there isn't an indicator. I confuse not both with always apart sometimes and it effects my timing.

for example on In/out problem set 2:

fenugreek is not included in the same recipe as nutmeg F(-)/N

Saffron is not included in the same recipe as Turmeric S (-)/T

initially translated these as not both. is it because its an in/out game that they are forever apart

on In/out with sub categories problem set 1 game 1

Gibson and Vega do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other

Hsu and young do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other

both are translated as not both rules according to lesson

help please

Hey all,

I'm new to the LSAT world and was hoping for some insight on the registration process.

How does the process of registering for the test date work? Once I register and pay do I have the option to withdraw or cancel it?

Do the spots fill up quick or would it be okay to wait later? Do we pick our time to write the test the same time we register or do actual test times come out later?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone,

My name is Keith and I am a Zimbabwean living in Johannesburg South Africa. I am currently an Ethics and English teacher and I am trying to study law in the US. I have been referred here and was told that the resources here and the people here are helpful. I am tight on money but would appreciate any resources people may have for me! Also, does anyone know how to register for the lsat in JHB?

Hey y'all! I am 3 weeks into my LSAT study prep and I'm wondering whether the study schedule or syllabus option is best. I have just been going though the syllabus every day and while its working, I don't know if I should be focusing more on how the study schedule sets up the material. Is it fine to just go through the syllabus or should I abide by the study schedule they generate? I am planning to take the test in 3-6 months.

Hi I have a question...there's a school that I am applying to that says I must include any violation of the law EXCEPT those that were expunged and there's another school that says include any violation including those that were expunged.

In 2016 I got a citation for possession of alcohol that was expunged.

If I include an addendum for one school, but not the other, how will this affect me in the long run with the bar and in general with applications? Should I include it with all of my schools? I plan to practice in PA or NJ if possible.

Split Approach - RC

Hi everybody, I've been practicing the split approach and quite enjoy its methodology. However, I've also read elsewhere that LSAC is actively trying to create questions that stop this approach from being as effective. Can anybody weigh in on this (test takers) and if I should pivot to sequential?

Good luck and thanks!

Hi,

I am looking for a study partner to meet twice a week to do PT and BR together until the June LSAT. I took the September and December 2017 LSATs (161 and 160). I had been PTing at 167-172 before the December LSAT, but I got really sick on the test day. June 2018 will be my last shot, so I want to make every effort to get a 170+ on this test.

I work full time, so I am available after 4 p.m. on weekdays or during the weekend. My strongest section is Games (usually -0), so I can help with this section. I am looking for someone with strength in either RC or LR.

Please let me know if you are interested!

Hello,

I am going to law school this fall. I applied with a 3.1 and a 154 lsat. Every school I applied to I was below their median gpa. I got into 3 schools where I was at their median lsat, waitlisted at one where I was at their median lsat and waitlisted at another where I was two points below their median lsat.

I retook the lsat and got a 157. I am now at four schools 75th percentile lsat and one point above a schools median lsat (156) but below their 75h percentile (158). I emailed the schools that waitlisted me after my new score and they said that they will send my application back to committee for another review with my new score.

Is it worth retaking the lsat considering I am at four of the schools 75th percentiles in terms of scholarship money or trying to get off of the waitlist?

Also I will be withdrawing from one school that accepted me, but I am in the process of trying to get the two schools that have accepted me to see if they can give me a new scholarship with my new score. One of the schools I got into had their seat deposit on April 1 but they offered to move my seat deposit back to the 8th while they see if they can give me more scholarship money.

Hello! I'm currently studying for the September 9th LSAT with a goal of 171+! I am diagnosed with ADHD, I'm a Math teacher, and I plan on studying roughly 2 hours a day. I would like to study virtually but am not opposed to studying in a nice public environment if you are apart of the study group and are also in Houston, TX. As of 3/4/2022 I completed the Introduction to Logic content and should be starting Assumptions and weakening questions tomorrow. If you're at a sooner or later lesson that's perfectly fine too! I'm sure we can still benefit from being in a group. I just want a study group to crush the LSAT with! I don't care what your diagnosed score is, I believe we all are capable of learning the LSAT and I would love to learn from one another! Plus we also learn a large amount from teaching and reviewing concepts with one another. I've PT'd 159-163 if interested and am committed to making the 170+ dream come true. Also if you're potentially interested in Teach For America I'd love to share my experience with it so far if you're an undergraduate student considering gap years or a career change before crushing the LSAT!

I applied to HYSCCN and was rejected 2 times a few years ago. Lsat 171.

My lsat is 5 years old and I find computer-based test much harder, so unsure I can beat it.

I wanted to change career to law from SW engineering, but the rejections were hard.

The opportunity cost of leaving SWE job was worth only for T6.

I'm wondering what other possible degree can provide similar level of intellectual energy as a JD.

Anyone in similar boat?

What did you do?

Hey guys, is anyone willing to look over the first draft of my personal statement? I just want to make sure I'm heading in the right direction. Willing to do a swap if needed! Thanks!

Confirm action

Are you sure?
