Reading all the ACs for RC

I always read all the ACs for LR because the extra seconds are worth it to find trick ACs. However, I find that in RC, that is not the case and that those few seconds might be better used understanding the passage. Should I be skipping the ACs when I find the right AC or should I read all the ACs before selecting an AC?

I also want to add that I am working exclusively through old PTs (PT1 through 30). I am not ready to use the new ones as I am not at a level where I want to waste those questions.

Hello. I have noticed that the Law School Admissions Predictor appears to overestimate my chances of getting into some of the listed law schools. For example, there is one school in which I supposedly have a 69% chance (likely target) of getting accepted, although I am below both medians for LSAT and GPA. With this in mind, should I continue to utilize the Law School Admissions Predictor in narrowing down the list of law schools that I should apply to this fall?

At 7Sage, our mission is to make legal education accessible, but talk is cheap and school is expensive. We’re putting our money where our mouth is and offering a series of awards to seven prospective law students. Our goal is to support aspiring lawyers who will work toward a more just future and to help increase diversity at top law schools. At least half of the awards will go to people with backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the legal field.

The winner will receive a scholarship of $7,000 to defray the cost of a legal education, a pro bono 12-month subscription to 7Sage’s LSAT prep course, and a pro bono Admissions Consulting Plus package.

One runner-up will receive a scholarship of $1,000, a pro bono 12-month subscription to 7Sage’s LSAT prep course, and a pro bono Admissions Consulting Pro package.

Five other runners-up will receive pro bono LSAT prep along with consulting or editing services.

I would like to discuss strategies that other people are currently using to study for the January or February LSAT administrations. How many hours a week are you working, are you using any other courses, what is your study plan, etc.

3 Section Format

I was wondering if there was a way to take a 3-section test similar to the one they offered with the last format. I essentially just want to take a PT with RC LR LR, just complements my studying style better

Hi Future Litigators,

We're starting the most successful LSAT study group again. First time test takers learn the structure and most successful tactics to approach every section, while prior test takers looking to improve their score identify your strengths and weakness from seasoned experts who've all previously scored in the mid 170s

Join the groupme "LSAT Masters" https://groupme.com/join_group/101975292/YIPNEohF be added for the Zoom link.

We want to limit seats to make the group more personal and productive so we're limited to 40 seats each cycle.

Meeting twice a week for 3 hour midday 11am - 2pm and afternoon 7pm - 10pm EST sessions. First 20 mins of each session will include a group discussion to address updates, testimonials, and concerns. Followed by breakout study groups according to your goals and needs assessment.

Look forward to networking and building of our community's success!

Can anyone help me to understand why D is not right?

I really struggled trying to make a motto prediction for this one and was between C and D.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to form a study group in downtown Toronto for the September LSAT, aiming for a score of 170 or above. We can meet either in person and virtually.

The main goals for our group will be:

  • Hold each other accountable
  • Work through problems
  • Schedule practice tests
  • Keep each other motivated 😊
  • I'm preparing for the September 2024 LSAT and would love to connect with someone committed to regular, consistent study. If you're dedicated and interested, message me!

    I have been studying on and off for the LSAT since January but have really started studying in May. I am registered for the August LSAT but I want to cancel since I am not close to my goal score. My BR is closer to my goal but I struggle a lot with timing.

    However, I didn't know if it would be beneficial to take the test to get a feel for what its like to be in the testing center. I know you can score preview and cancel. But I'm not sure how admissions officers view cancellations. I plan to take again in September and then October if needed. I am applying this cycle and now I feel like I am behind. Any advice or help?

    Taking the August test. Last week I was finishing up the modules and I was flying through them and I felt like I could understand the test like Neo at the end of the Matrix. Then starting this week I have tried to study and I feel like all of that is out the window. In some aspects its like last week never happened and I feel like I'm back to square one. I was told I might be burned out but I don't feel like that at all, I felt really good but then it disappeared. Help me get that feeling back cause it will take me to the promised land!

    Taking the test in August. Just finished my last practice test and I got a 168, before that a 169, and before that a 167. It feels like I just can't break into the 170 no matter what I do. Should I just be hyper-focusing now on the questions I'm getting wrong and set aside everything else?

    RC Tips

    Really struggling to improve my RC section. I've been stuck at getting around 10 questions wrong each time. Any suggestions to break through this?

    PT11 S3 Q17 (Amazon Climate)

    Hi, I’m confused about Q17, where the video mentions that (C) and (E) is part of Haffer’s hypothesis, but I don’t think it is? No where in the passage does it state that upland is more diverse or more dense than low land. It says that low land is drier (which could imply that rain forest-like organisms likely prefer upland), but this feels like overstepping the bounds of the types of assumptions that we as readers can make. The only thing that Haffer says about the difference between lowland and upland currently is that (1) low land is drier and (2) they differ in terms of species.

    I have been doing LR drills with specific question type tags in the obsolete format to make sure I won't use up questions from Current Format prep tests that I will end up taking. (I want scores/analytics for prep tests to be as accurate as possible). Is this an okay way to study and improve? Or do the LR questions differ from obsolete to current format so drastically, that I am actually hurting myself by practicing in this format? #help

    I'm taking the September 2024 test in-person, on paper, and was wondering if I was allowed to bring highlighters? I have been using Bailey's highlighting strategies for reading comp and wanted to know if I should be prepared to not be able to do that on the actual exam???

    LSAT Study Group GroupMe

    Hey everyone! Every time I post a message on one of these forums I never actually get added to anything so I thought I'd make one for myself! Drop your GroupMe ID or Phone Number and I'll make a big study groupchat for us to collaborate on getting the best score possible!

    Also considering a Discord, but we can discuss that in the groupme!

    Hey everyone!

    So I'm contemplating on whether I should re-write the diagnostic test. I wrote one a couple of months back (July, I think). Scored a 153 (LG: 15/23, LR 1 and 2: 15/25, RC: 20/27) . However, I sort of lost track of time as I was taking the test -- I got really involved with the questions because I found them intriguing and just wanted to spend time trying to figure them out. I think I probably went 10 - 15 mins over on each section. Just an estimate though, not entirely sure.

    I was contemplating on re-writing it before starting the CC. Should I? I honestly would prefer it if I wrote it after completing the CC (partly because I feel like it might be a bit demoralizing). I know people are divided on this so I'm not entirely sure if that's a good decision. Thoughts?
