I am preparing to take the June LSAT and have been drilling specific question types with which I struggle the most. This will be my first LSAT, so I anticipate taking the test again later on, and I am concerned that I am going to run out of clean questions for use in future studying. Is this something to be concerned about, and should I limit my drills of a certain question type as a result?

Hi there,

I completed PTA RC, which doesn't have video or written explanations for the answers. Despite getting the answer correct, there was a major time sink on my end for the first question of the first passage. I want to reaffirm my thinking for the right / wrong ACs. Could anyone who has taken this PT confirm or revise my understanding?

Q1

AC A: Clandestine marriages is not at all supported by Donahue's position, lines 46-48 state that "so long as they acted in accordance with established bann procedures, a couple could marry without parental consent and still enjoy the blessing of the Church." Bann compliance is not considered clandestine. I had no trouble finding support against this.

HOWEVER, I struggled with whether the first part of this AC (concerning synthesis) is descriptively accurate and broad enough to be the MP. Is it accurate to say that "the doctrine of marriage by Pope Alexander III represented a synthesis of traditional ecclesiastical dnd legal opinion"? Would this sentence be accurate and potentially good enough for a revised MP or am I misunderstanding the passage?

AC B: More support for this is provided by the passage; no issues. (Based on mutual consent is supported by paragraph 1. Encouraged marriages based on love is supported in paragraph 2.)

Any help understanding this passage and question is appreciated! Happy studying!

Looking for anyone that would be interested in having a virtual study group session on weekends. Having trouble focusing on studying on weekends and would really benefit from having a scheduled time to study with people virtually. Also would enjoy talking through difficult questions, study strategies, etc. Preference for those in PST but open to CT/ET as well. Currently scoring around 166.

Hey All,

First off, I am looking for a study buddy that is a full time parent & works a full time job. We need to make time & hold each other accountable!!!

Second, I have a channel dedicated towards the LSAT test days.

For every testing, I do a message for every date there is a test.

It’s beneficial when you’re already overthinking that big day!!!

Hi Everyone,

I'm feeling down. On lawhub ive been averaging 154-156 on my PTS. I decided to start doing PTs on 7sage so i can track my analytics. The past 3 times ive taken a PT on 7sage , the highest score i got was 149. I'm so confused. I dont know if im regressing or if it is just the layout/format of the platform. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

TIA!

Hi everyone, I've recently drilled timed sections from the earlier PTs (1-15) and have seen my LR section score improve from about -4/-5 (later PTs) to -2/-3 (earlier PTs) and my RC score improve from -4 (later PTs) to -2 (earlier PTs) in the past two weeks. I've also noticed that I'm able to breeze through the questions faster with time to spare and more confidence at the end of the section. Is this most likely a reflection of an actual skill improvement, or are the earlier PTs easier? There seems to be varying information and opinions about the weight that should be given to earlier PTs.

It's also very likely that I am reading too much into the minor variance from the earlier PTs to current PTs, but I'm a bit nervous to see the results of a new, more recent PT.

Thank you in advance!

I’ve been having issues with RC. When I review questions or watch videos, all it gives me is the breakdown of the passage and doesn’t help with real-time issues regarding how I should map out the passage under time constraints. I either write too little or I write too much; I either eat up time going back to the passage or I spend too much on the diagram and run out of time for the Qs, respectively. Does anyone have a better system, preferably one that references the structure and a low resolution summary?

I am hoping someone else has or is experiencing this and could give some tips.

I have taken the LSAT twice and there has only been a ten point difference. Both times I have had a an anxiety attack.

I am preparing to retake it again in April, but I can’t sit down and study without being distracted or feeling anxious.

I am working on getting an accommodation before the exam, but in the meantime are there any tips so that I sit and study without feeling so anxious !??

I have never had this problem and kind of feeling defeated.

I've noticed in my drills (specifically for LR) I will choose the right answer in under a minute for logical reasoning, but then I will sit on it for AT LEAST another 30 seconds to a minute and waste time confirming it is actually right. How do I get out of this spiral? How were you able to trust your "gut"/ our lessons.

Thanks!

Hi! I am taking the LSAT in November and want to find someone to hop on a call of some sort to run through some of the more difficult LR questions because that is where I need the most improvement. I also want to find someone who is still in the process of applying to law school who can help make me be less stressed about getting everything right lol. I am in the eastern time zone and live in Lexington, KY. My availability is PM and Saturdays since I work full time currently. DM me if you're interested!

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.
