I need some insight. I Took the LSAT dec 16 and was not nearly prepped. I decided to retake and have been studying hard since april or so.

Im at a strange phase in my studying where i am scoring around and sometimes above my potential but iv only taken 7 tests. Ive done multitudes of timed sections and drilling.i feel very confident, but my brain is starting to get toasted from studying.

I am signed up for september. And until this week i was planning on postponing till December. But now i kinda wanna take it.

My concerns are as follows. I have foolproofed 1-40 games. I also proofed the games i have taken in PTs. But i still havent seen alot of games. I also havent really touched the 60s and only took PT 78,70,71,72,60,61,65.

So i have alot of material i am not exposed to..

Averaging a 170, havent gotten above a 174 yet.

What do you guys think? should i postpone?, or take it with a slight chance of a cancellation?

Hey so I was doing some surfing on eBay for cyber Monday of course, and I came across someone selling their LSAT materials, I guess they got what they wanted out of them. This is the most interesting one I saw, a bundle of PT 7-80, which is awesome! Go get it folks! There’s also the Powerscore trilogy and The LSAT Trainer on there as well.

Hi everyone!

Some of you may remember I made a poll about a month back regarding my uncertainty about taking the LSAT in December, well, after reading everyone’s advice I opted for the best choice: take the LSAT at a later date!

Before the deadline, I sent LSAC an email with an attached refund request, which they provide online. I haven’t received any response from them, LSAC I mean. Should I go ahead and withdraw? I don’t want to lose my refund, but more importantly, I don’t want to be marked a no show for the December LSAT!

Any thoughts? Have any of you guys had this experience ?

Thanks :)

Facts:

1.) We found titanium in 2 Bibles: (JG and B-36)

2.) Titanium in 15th century Vinland Map (purportedly)

Conclusion: B-36 must have been printed by JG and Vinland Map is from 15th century

Flaw:

Is it wrong for the stimulus to conclude the B-36 Bible must have been printed by JG because that assumes Titanium was rare enough so that it can be traced back to a specific printer? But I don't see what is wrong with using Titanium to prove VMap is authentic. Does VMap have any relationship with JG?

Hi,

I was looking at the Preview App feature and saved documents in Word, but can reformat if needed, maybe to PDFs, and when I paged through an application, there were some blank pages, I think because the essays would have elapsed onto a new page if they were a little longer. I'll try to reformat later, but does anyone have other strategies that can be used to avoid this? Thanks in advance.

Looking for another human being to sit with me over video and make sure I do not leave my desk for at least two hours . . . Also maybe jump off some ideas. Not so much a study group but more so just trying to get it done, with the goal of taking the exam in the summer---

I am on the east coast and right now my availability is after 7:30pm M,T,TH,SAT, and any time on Sunday.

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in Criminal law. My goal after law school is to get lots of experience working as an ADA before moving into the federal arena. Does anyone know a website where I can compare the salaries of ADAs across states? It appears the average starting salary is about 63k a year. However that 63k translates differently given the varying costs of living.

Really trying to find that sweet spot a low cost of living and average salary...and avoid staying in my hometown, which is Baltimore MD.

Ironically, Baltimore City ADAs make 63k, the cost of living is manageable, and there's plenty of crime to keep me busy.

Any other states I should look at for law school?

Hi everyone! Does anyone have tips on the "word in context" questions for RC? I keep consistently struggling with these questions despite the seemingly straight forward manner of the qs. Any tips would be appreciated!

The conclusion of the stimulus is that the decline in energy consumption is due to

(1) reduced standards of living and

(2) changes in the way people spend their time

So we are looking for 4 answers that fall into one of these two buckets (or both).

(A) is the purchase of portable heaters and limiting the number of rooms. Falls into category (1).

(B) is people spending more time in libraries and community centers. Falls into category (2) because they're changing the way they spend their time.

(C) is people decreasing energy costs by having inexpensive work done to improve efficiency of existing heating system. This doesn't fall into category (1) because the standards of living are the same, and doesn't fall into category (2) because they aren't changing the way they spend their time.

(D) is a decreased indoor temperature on very cold days. This falls into category (1).

(E) is people showering for shorter amounts of time. This potentially requires the assumption that shorter showers means category (1) reduced standard of living, but compared to answer choice (C) this is much more clearly falls into that bucket.

Have gpa and LSAT above 75th percentile for the schools I’m shooting for and have already had offers. I’m in grad school and professors are dragging with the letters. I have one strong lor from graduate internship ready to go. I am looking for scholarship $. How important is an academic lor? Should I hold out and go forward with the applications now with the one letter? Gpa and LSAT and graduate gpa are all excellent

LSAT

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of companies that will give discounted or even free prep material if I was approved for the LSAC fee waiver?

Please detail any information you feel is pertinent to me as it will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks in advance!

It is currently April 5, 2020. I am taking the LSAT for the first time August 28th. I am also planning on taking the October 3rd test. For my study schedule, should I put my "end" date as August 27th or October 2nd? I originally put August 27th but then I thought I should spread it out so I am still actively studying up until the October 3rd test. Should I put my "end date" somewhere between the two exams?

I have 3 waitlist interviews scheduled for next week, 1 for 15 min, 1 for 30 min, 1 for 30-60 minutes. Does anyone with experience with waitlist interviews have tips on how to prepare and what to expect? Any experiences or resources would be so appreciated! Thanks!

Do you guys scan the answers or just jump right in and try out games?

I realize this is very game dependent. I usually scan the answers choices quickly, but if nothing jumps out I force myself to jump right into trying out all the answers. I found myself wasting time on open ended game boards trying to think about why an answer choice could be correct, and coming up with nothing for all my "thinking" time. So know I try to just jump right into testing the answers.

Today I came across a game, LSAT 10, Game 4 http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-10-section-2-game-4/, that has me rethinking my strategy. I didn't make the inference at the start that Y must be in, though I DID make the difference that at least one of X/Z must be out. When I got to question 23, I quickly looked at my master game board didn't come up with any that must be in, so just jumped right in to trying out the possibilities. I got through A and B, before scanning the remainder of the choices and quickly realized that Y must be in.

The game took way too long in general, not just because of this question, but still interested in how you guys handle "thinking" about correct answer choices, or just jumping in and trying possibilities.
