Hi everyone! I'm looking for a few people who want to form an LSAT study group. We can do practice tests together, help each other with any questions, discuss different techniques and methods for each section and keep each other accountable! Let me know if you are interested in joining

Now that the first deposit date has passed, you may find yourself sitting on a waitlist. How long do you have to wait? How long does a school maintain its waitlist? This will depend on the school. Some schools will notify and release candidates from their waitlist after a certain point. This would provide some closure for you as an applicant. Other schools may maintain their waitlist up through orientation in case of any “melt” throughout the summer. If deposited candidates withdraw because they get admitted off waitlists elsewhere, the school will turn to their waitlist to maintain their class size or their medians. A school may turn to the waitlist all the way up through orientation in some cases.

So how long should you stay on a waitlist? This depends on how badly you want to attend the target school. Preparing to attend law school, perhaps in a new city or state, can be a complicated process. Students have ended up sleeping on a couch or living out of a hotel room for a few weeks having accepted a last minute offer of admission from a school. They might start the beginning of law school orientation at one school and finish orientation at another school. If it’s August 1st, you probably will have deposited elsewhere, and you may decide it is better just to prepare for school with the concrete offer you have. At that point, if you haven't been released from the waitlist yet, you may decide to withdraw from the waitlist. Or, you may decide that you are only as committed as your options. If so, you should be aware of and be ready to meet these potential challenges of relocating in a hurry.

If no obstacle is too great between you and your target school, then what should you do right now as you sit on the waitlist? Well, you shouldn’t just “wait” quietly. There is no way to know what a target school is going to do with their waitlist, how big or small it is, or if they will pull 5 or 50 people from it. Nevertheless, if a school turns to the waitlist, and your application meet their requirements, you want your file to be one of the notable ones with current activity. Keep your file up to date by letting the school know that you are ready, willing, and able to commit to the school immediately should you be selected. Connect with the admissions office periodically by phone or by email (once every 3 weeks or as directed by the admissions officer) and say, “I know I am on the waitlist but I wanted to let you know that School X is still my top choice and if admitted, I would definitely enroll.” Be aware of the tone of your conversations, be professional, and take direction from the admissions officer with whom you are communicating.

So a Professor I asked a letter for had me amend the form multiple times as per them moving around and what not, but now I'm worried about the letter number on the form. Do law schools care if it says L8 for example on the letter form even though I have like 3 recommenders?

Ever wonder which LSAT questions are really the toughest? In this episode, we dig into the data behind the hardest LSAT questions—breaking down the overall proportions of different question types and then zooming in on how those proportions shift within the notorious Harder and Hardest difficulty levels. You’ll get a clearer picture of which question types dominate the hardest tiers, how that compares to the test overall, and what that means for your study strategy.

Hello! For those of you who have scheduled your specific LSAT date and time before, could you describe how that works? I haven't received further information and unsure about the process. Where do you exactly go to schedule? Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm a retaker hoping to sit for the June test. I work full-time, but I'm usually able to devote around 2 hours of studying after work each day and then multiple hours (5 to 6) on both weekend days. Even just studying for the test again, I can see that after hours of studying, I'm getting a better command of the material than I had before.

The one problem that I've noticed and can't really understand how to fix is identifying why I got a problem wrong and knowing how to avoid the mistake in the future, speaking only really about Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning.

I'm looking for patterns (I know they're there!), but I can't seem to make sure I don't get an Inference question wrong on RC again on the next practice section, for example.

I know the strategy depends on the person, but In general, how do you go through your mistakes and what do you do to really understand what went wrong for a question? Sorry if this thread already exists, but any help would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, so I'm at that stage were I'm spamming practice tests/reviewing them afterwords. and I've really hit an issue with reviewing my answers for logical reasoning. My problem is every time I go to review the questions and try to re-solve them, I noticed that I already have the answer memorized before I even finish the stimulus and what's worse is I have the reason it was correct memorized too so I don't feel like I'm able to learn how to solve it properly for a similar question. Even for PTs I did weeks ago same issue. What do I do...

Also while you're still here bonus here, any tips on reviewing wrong answers on LR when there's no particular pattern to which types I get wrong?

Hello, Study Buddies!

I hope all is well and that studying has been going relatively smoothly. As you know, we are nearing the end of our second week of studying since we formed as a group-- go us!

I wanted to let you know that our GroupMe has been growing and the information, resources, and tips everyone has shared has been incredible. One of our most recent and exciting resources for our group is the opportunity to have an hour seminar with 7Sage’s Scott Milam.

As a group we are currently trying to find the best day and time to meet and are in the process of ironing out an agenda for our seminar, so if you have not had a chance to check out our GroupMe and pitch your ideas and availability, I encourage you to come to one of our study sessions or to reach out to me and communicate to get the link to our GroupMe if you don’t already have it. The poll to vote on the meeting time with Scott closes March 27 @ 9:35 PM PST in the GroupMe (that’s 3 days from now; the sooner you can vote, the better.)

Our burgeoning group of study buddies have been supportive and friendly and have far exceeded my expectations. To my study buddies that have been coming to the sessions and communicating with me and each other, thank you, you are truly amazing!

If you haven’t had a chance to drop in to a study session yet, or maybe you feel too much time has passed, or you feel awkward, or any number of reasons why, I want to let you know that you are still welcome in our group and that there are folks (including me) wanting to (e)meet you, encourage you, and study along side you. Please reach out and let’s get you plugged in.

Mark Twain once said, “The secret to getting ahead is getting started.”

-S.

Hi, I want to make an actual, active study group. The link is the following: https://groupme.com/join_group/88566845/16xEXYG3

Just copy it. You will have to answer a question of your ideal score to join (this is to deter bots/people who just want to advertise). Please only join if you will be active and have time to study together.

Update: I only have a few requests atm. I will accept everyone when there are a good amount of people.

Hi all,

Any advice on how to incorporate the live classes into the CC? I just purchased the Monthy+Live plan and am planning to take the lsat in about 9 months. I am wondering at what point I should start seriously utilizing the live classes. I noticed the live classes include questions from prep tests beyond the 30 old ones saved for drilling in the CC. That made me weary of joining any of them before I have taken a fair share of the newer practice tests.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi everyone. I'm realizing that a significant portion of my missed points comes from my RC section. When I do it under unlimited time, I get a pretty good score but under timed conditions, I usually miss 10-12 questions every time. When I get to the last passage, I sometimes only have 5 minutes, so I feel like I guess a lot of the last couple questions. Is there any practical advice that anyone can share for getting better with timing and accuracy that has worked for them...other than doing drills over and over?

Thank you!!

Hi I am ranging around 150 ish and my lsat is in June. I just started studying a month ago. I am looking for a study partner who can meet in zoom or something weekly to kinda guide each other. I am not looking for a tutor or something. I am just looking for a partner. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks

Hello,

My name is Ken Kim. We are a group of Koreans and Korean-Americans planning to take the LSAT either this October or in a couple of years. We have members scoring from 160-175 either on the official test or practice tests. Some of us are committed full-time to the test while some of us are working at a company, law firm, etc. We meet on the following dates at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

8:00 pm-11:00 pm, Wednesday

2:00 pm-5:00 pm, Sunday

We usually meet and do questions from LR and RC. We match our answers and discuss why each one of us have chosen an answer we chose. The fee for joining the study is free other than paying for the studying cafe fee which is 1,900 KRW per person for each hour (5,700 KRW total).

If you are interested, please send me a message to my inbox. I will direct you further. Thanks!
