Hello everyone,

I would appreciate it if you could provide insight into some potential questions I have received from various applicants with similar/repeated questions. Here they are:

If an applicant has gone to 3 academic institutions: two in US/Canada and one outside US/Canada, will all 3 transcripts be included in LSAC's GPA? It's worth noting that one institution attended outside US/Canada had a 4.0 GPA grading scale with a US/Canadian-based curriculum.

A course was taken twice/repeated. The transcript shows both grades along with course credit however the 1st attempt is marked as an "extra" course meaning while it does have a credit shown, its credit value is equivalently 0 as it does not count towards the institution's cGPA calculation. Hence, would the 1st attempt need to be mentioned/ will count towards LSAC's GPA calculation?

Would meeting a law school's 75th percentile GPA allow you to get in if you meet its 25th percentile LSAT score? Kinda like a reverse splitter per se.

Thank you :)

Howdy! I'm a senior at UTSA, majoring in Global Affairs. Planning to take the test in June '25 and applying to UT Austin for the fall of '26. Anyone in my neck of the woods looking to connect?

So I am taking the LSAT in September with the new revised model, so I am skipping the LG sections and focusing hard on LR and RC. I wanted to ask what is the best routine to integrate drills into the study session.

I hear a lot of the drills come from PT, and burning though Drills means come PT time, you have essentially already seen some of the questions prior (do I have this right?).

So I wanted to ask if this is the same for post August PTs aswell, and for those taking it without LR, how are you using your PTs and Drills

Any help is valued. Thanks!

I had to withdraw from all of my classes halfway through my third semester of university because of a traumatic accident which left me with a severe concussion and broken collarbone. This fact is described in my personal statement, though it is not the main topic.

Would it be advisable to also explain the 'W's on my transcript from this time through a addendum, or would that be over-kill?

There are two archetypes for answer choices: one that starts with something along the lines of "presume", "assume", or "takes for granted"; another that starts with something along the lines of "ignores", "overlooks", or "fails to take into account".

Most of us can do these questions based on intuition, especially if we use the method that JY taught us. I still visualize the goku doing his kamehameha blast on the car. But for some of the harder, more abstract questions, for me, it helps to realize what these two answer choice stems are saying.

  • When the answer choice says the argument assumes X, the best way to treat this answer choice is as if it were a NA answer choice, and negate it to see if that assumption was necessary, and if so, indeed, without it, the argument is vulnerable.

  • When the answer choice says the argument overlooks X, the best way to treat this answer choice is as if it were a standard weakening answer choice, and just plus the answer choices back into the argument, and see if the kamehameha beam gets bigger or smaller.

    • Hope this helps, cheers =)

    Hello,

    I am writing the November LSAT and I am genuinely so confused and over whelmed with how to get started. How often do I need to do a practice test how do I work through all the material? They removed logic games, how do I tackle the other sections?

    Hi all- I seem to be getting more questions wrong in my first section than the following sections regardless of being LR or RC. I noticed a consistent 5 question difference. Is anyone else having a similar issue? Any ideas on how to improve this issue

    Hello everyone, just wanted to see if there are people in the Sarasota area that would want to connect and study together. I take the April LSAT but depending on how well it goes, I might have to take it again in June. I'm a little too inconsistent on my practice exams and would like to work with different people and learn how they approach different questions. Also, I am currently in Gainesville for school but will be back in Sarasota in like 2-3 weeks.

    Hi everyone,

    I first started studying for the LSATs about a year ago, and have taken the LSAT 3 times since then. I plan on applying this year.

    I had been consistently PTing at 165+ since May, but my digital July testing center had issues which I know affected my performance. I'm planning on taking the test one more time in November, and since I have another shot, I was hoping to tackle the 2 things that have consistently brought my score down: flaw + argument part question types.

    I can tell you all 19 flaw types and I can tell you exactly what the highlighted argument part phrase/sentence is doing in an argument -- in my own words. My problem is the freaking answer options... I feel like 95% of the time I have a hard time understanding what the answer options are actually saying. Is it just me or has anyone else struggled with this? I have generally taken the strategy of skipping those questions and coming back to them, but now that I've (literally) bought myself another opportunity, I thought I'd try to master these.

    If you are a tutor and think I could benefit from a session with you, please let me know! I'm open to tutoring at this point as well.

    Thanks!
