Hello fellow fighters against LSAT-evil,

I've been curious to see what your opinions are when it comes to switching up sections with different sections to create a sort-of "new" PT. For example, using PT 60 as a base and taking out 2 (randomly selected) sections and replacing them with sections from, say, PT 62 or PT 56.

Clearly, this sort of practice is for people who have done all PT's in the LSAT world and have nothing left to do. I have to ask, what are your thoughts on this particular practice?

For me, I think it would create more anonymity with that PT for those who have done it already and don't want to be mislead by past choices, whether or not that past choice was the correct or incorrect answer. From my experience, when I retake a particular PT I tend to remember the PT sections ordering among other things. If one were to mix up PT sections with a different PT section then I feel that would throw the test taker off by just enough to prevent information recall and rely more on your skills learned.

I don't know, what do you guys think? I ask this because I'm beginning to run out of PT's (been studying for almost a year) and would need at least a few more PT's before I write in December. Also, because I can't seem to find an opinion on 7sage forums about this type of practice nor have I come across a question like this on TLS or elsewhere. Maybe my Google search skills need some sharpening...

Hello. I am confused about the acceptance decision timeline for law schools. Since most have rolling admissions and Deans are eager to know as early as possible who is accepting, how is this done in practical and professional terms for the applicant? Is it typical and okay to wait until the deposit deadline to reply? Are you asked to explain that you are waiting for other decisions soon after a decision is made? This is a different process from undergrad so I am hoping to understand how to handle this in a respectful way. Thanks.

I've become really inconsistent on my PT scores. For the last ~7 PTs I've taken over the course of the summer, I've started to jump between mid-high 160s to 170+ basically every other PT. I've scored above 170 enough times that it feels like those aren't flukes but I also cannot tell what is going wrong on the PTs that are on the lower end. Any advice on being more consistent? :)

Hi everyone,

I'm Kanav, from India and I am looking to take the LSAT sometime in October or November.

I scored a 143 in my first diagnostic in April and scored a 161 today. I am aiming for a 170+ but would love to connect with more people and form a study group. We can probably do it on WhatsApp as its convenient and allows for a larger number of participants from anywhere!

Here is the link to the group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KUIOxVroIXfINnTF9KhiU3

I have an absent and a 159 on file.

Took the August 2023 LSAT, just got a 157 and cancelled it.

I currently have the September LSAT scheduled, and I will be taking the October one too.

However, if I score worse than 159 in September, I would have to cancel it again. My file would look like absent-159-cancel-cancel

Should I take the September LSAT or should I reschedule it to October?

I believe I have until 31st 11:59pm ET to both reschedule to October and to register for October. Am I correct?

Thank you all so much.

Hello all,

I felt pretty good about my LSAT writing. However when I got it back, I noticed two typos in the second to last paragraph (a missing "the" and a missing "an"). Is this enough of an issue that I should retake it? I definitely don't mind re-taking it, if this is something to be concerned about. I'm re-taking the LSAT anyways so I expect if I let them know, then I could apply to re-submit a writing exam.

Should I switch off studying RC and LR or do each section at a time? Any recommendations?

Hi! I currently PT in the mid to high 160's and I am signed up for the October LSAT. It would be cool if there was anyone who was also interested in finding a study buddy for this October LSAT where we can keep each other accountable and occasionally go through tough LSAT sections together or even just keep each other motivated throughout this month. Please lmk if you are interested, I'd love to have a study buddy :)

Hello,,

I am trying to make sense of why I would get -14 on one section and -4 on other section of same PT..

This was from PT 75.. Has anyone experienced this score difference?

Rewords the conclusion

Hello Everyone,

I just finished to core curriculum and I have a very good understanding of all the concepts. This is just for LR but I took an untimed section just to make sure I have a fundamental understanding of all the concepts and got 24/25. I feel like now I should start drilling and doing practice exams. Can anyone share how they built a study plan like this after the CC. Also how did that help you? If you could go back and give some advice to yourself in my shoes what would you say?

Thanks so much for all your help!

I figured I would make a post since I started studying for the LSAT last week. Anybody studying in Austin, TX?

Good luck everybody!

LG was by far my worst section (-17 on cold diagnostic), and now that is at a -6. I was planning on finishing LG, but these "in-out" games seem to rely on previous lessons in LR (I assume), is it time to pivot and do LR then come back to LG?

Also, how often do these pop up? I've done 3 PTs and never had one, just seq, seq twist, and grouping.

I thought that it was irrelevant, and therefore did not "support" additionally the paleontologist's conclusion.

When schools have prompts asking how the program at X Law will help you in your future professional and/or academic pursuits, should you explain how in each paragraph or tie it up at the end?

Hi everyone--just wondering if people have advice on how to improve with these problem types? I've found that I consistently underperform on these games and I'm not sure why--I think my main difficulty is maintaining all the rules and working within time, but generally I find that I get "stuck" with them more consistently than I do with grouping or regular "in/out" games. Thanks so much!

I never took science past grade 10, and know nothing lol. Do people with 0 science knowledge have any tips on how to better understand them?

Hello, I have a recommender writing me a letter about me serving in the church and some other things, I only wanted to send this letter to Liberty University and Regent University as they are both faith based law schools, For my letter description should I put the two schools name or say "use for faith based law schools" I really want to make sure both law schools see that letter. Thanks for answering in advance

A: Hawthorne is unethical because he sold the influence to environmental interest group; there is no justification

M: Nope, he's not unethical because It's environmental interest group preventing pollution doing good to public.

Need help:

I kind of get why AC B is right but do not understand why D is wrong because how I also see the above is:

=>His gaining private benefit by selling unethical vs. His action somehow benefiting the public ethical

Can someone explain?

I'm looking for a new study partner for the November/January test. I study daily and have a flexible schedule. I'm in the PST time zone. Message me if interested.

I may have gone the optimistic route of going through this application cycle and am not only looking for advice but have some questions

. I was one of the few (probably) that submitted applications early in hopes that it would be easier for when I focus on my LSAT. So as it may, I’ve done all my applications between September and October. I’m practically stuck with what I have already submitted and am only waiting for my LSAT. Now that I am sitting here, I wish I had waited and done some more research/review before I decided to submit my applications. I do not believe my writing documents are bad, I have quite the confidence in them, but now i’m wondering how much better they could of been if I had a professional look at all my documents together to see what I am missing, what I could strengthen or completely omit.

I know my only options are to just email them some updated documents and hope they like what I’ve given them.

But I’m curious, is it possible to withdraw applications and resubmit in the same cycle? I do not think that’s possible, and even if it is. Does it look bad if you redo your application? Do they notice that you submitted one back in september, withdrew and then resubmitted a new one??

All advice would be helpful and if it’s just simply a silly idea, don’t be afraid to let me know. Law school won’t go away, so i know if it doesn’t work out this cycle, I have next year

Has anyone thought of taking the JD Next as more schools will accept it going forward?
