I need help with trying to answer the questions that ask something along the lines of "Which of following could substitute the condition (insert rule here)"? I don't know how to approach these at all.

Example: PT M20.S2.Q11

Hey all!

My name is Rez and I'm looking for a study buddy for the June 2021 exam. I've been studying for a few months and finally seeing progress (BR 165 on the May Flex exam taken last week). My strengths include RC and LG and I'd like to improve more on LR.

I have a flexible schedule and I'd love to host a blind review session with you. If interested, please email me at: rezwan.haq@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Rez

I take the exam on Sunday and im in need of some last minute tips. I dont plan on taking another PT but I will be drilling and taking individual sections over the next 3 days.

How do I tackle 4-5 level LR questions? On the PT I just took I got every question right except for the 6 questions that were 4-5 level difficulty. I thought I got them all right but I fell for every trap answer ):

Any suggestions on increasing RC score a couple points? Even if it is new strategies / how to eliminate wrong answer choices? Im awful at this section and have not been able to increase my score consistently. The best I've gone was -6 but just now I got -11.

Does anyone have any tips on studying LR? It’s the section I struggle the most on and I’m not sure if I’m studying right or what but I haven’t seen much improvement in weeks. All suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

I uploaded the Word doc version of my résumé to an application, and it seems to have caused a formatting error. The year portion of a date that was aligned to the right has been pushed onto it's own line to the left. It doesn't show up like this when I open it in Word. In my opinion it's pretty noticeable since it causes a two things to be out of place, though I somehow missed it when I previewed the application. I'm nervous because this is a top school where I'm a borderline case, and I feel any little thing could make a difference.

Should I upload a correct PDF version to their status checker and email them about it? I'm conflicted because I don't want to appear careless by leaving it, but I don't want to draw too much attention to it or seem obsessive either. Any advice would be appreciated.

I was an idiot and didn't purchase score preview initially, so now I need to go back and do it, but can't find it anywhere on the lsac website. Could someone who has already done it let me know how? I'm trying to avoid calling LSAC because I know they'll put me on hold forever. Thanks!

For those of you who participated in the LSAC October forum, did you have your 'why school X' essays with you when you communicated with the schools? (I'm planning on having my PS and notes about what has drawn me to each of the schools versus a drawn-out 'why X' essay. Especially in the event that I decide not to apply to a school!! (Or DO decide to apply to a school) Was it more us talking to them v. them questioning US about what interests us about their program(s)? I'm hoping this forum will allow me to better fine-tune my 'why them' essay with specifics compared to info from their websites. :) Thanks in advance.

Hey 0Ls, 1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls, and Law School Grads:

After about a month or two of digesting the January LSAT and getting accepted into my top choice for September, 2021. The thought of law school and becoming a lawyer is daunting and worrisome. After some thought and reading posts like: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/23446/a-discussion-to-begin-a-debate-my-position-on-0l-prep, I am definitely going to prepare for 1L.

Here are some questions I hope you can help me with:

Is it beneficial to continue studying using LSAT prep materials like 7Sage?

What are Canadian equivalents to Hornbooks and Examples and Explanations?

Any other general tips, guides, studying that one should do before law school?

Please do not say something like "relax and enjoy the summer", as I am dead set on studying for 1L. Just asking for people's opinion on what the best plan of attack for 1L is.

Would it not make sense to include this as its own section?

I got this wrong initially by marking down A but the correct answer is E. This stimulus tells us a few things

It can be hard to tell whether adults can be held morally responsible for the treatment they receive because its hard to know if that is on their control or not.

Sometimes people's actions are the inevitable consequences of the treatment they received when they were an infant (and since infants can't control anything they can't be morally responsible for receiving that treatment).

What absolutely MUST be true here?

A. an infant's actions are not on the chopping block here + never is really strong language

B. maybe this is true but it feels really tangential

C. this concept of partial responsibility does not exist anywhere in the stimulus we are operating in a binary universe

D. we know that the statement (people cannot be morally responsible for things they can't control and the inevitable consequences of things they can't control) is true but this offers a false contraposition of that statement (suff - neck confusion)

E. If everyone sometimes performs acts for which they are not morally responsible, that means that no-one should be held morally responsible for every act one performs.

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

I have added my Bachelor's and other institutions I have attended to the LSAC and sent my transcripts for all of them. I would like to know whether I should also add a diploma program I took.

For context, I am a Canadian applicant and have not received a degree from my other institutes (mainly just transfer courses I took and one graduate program I dropped out of). I just finished the diploma program so I have not yet graduated from it (finished all my courses but graduation is next year).

Hello! I been studying for LSAT for a month and a half and I have just finished PT 1-20. My scores are about 170. I’ve heard that PT 50 + are considerably harder, and PT 80+ are even more challenging. I wish to ask how your scores in PT 1-20 compare to those in 50+ and 80+, and compare to your real test score. I’m planning on taking the test in Jan. and want to get an idea of where I’m at. Thank you!

Hi guys,

just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me (waiting for the Feb 2021 results) even though scores should have been released on March 10th.

I had to redo my writing portion due to a "security issue" which was submitted on March 9th. As of now, it says result pending.

Hi everyone,

I am late to the game and I am using this summer to tackle studying for the LSAT, and taking the August exam.

I know this is an overly ambitious plan of attack but sadly I do not have many other options.

That being said, does anyone have any tips or advice on how I should approach this?? I am not sure if I am better off trying to complete all of the foundational material and lessons, or skipping around or what.

I do not have enough time to complete all 900+ hours of the program before August, so that being said any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

As of now, I am getting through the foundations and then going to begin incorporating the practice tests and such starting mid June, and then from there out switch between the foundation and practice. Not sure if this is the best approach though.

Thank you ! And Goodluck to everyone !

Hello,

Myself, elle.sat.woods180 and emaanc99

Are looking to add two members to our study group.

Our goal is to reach +170 scores for the 2021-2022 academic year.

The highest score I have received on the LSAT was a 167. I have scored 165 multiple times and my most recent LSAT scores have been varied from 160 to 167. I have taken approximately 80 LSAT Preptests. I only have 10 more. I took these tests in numerical order but also decided to take LSAT 89 and 88 because of their difficulty in order to prepare myself for the November/January LSAT. It did not work.

Our method of study is to pick LR/LG/RC questions/passages and blind review them. We general pick questions and passages based on their difficulty. We would spend an hour or two every weekend to meet as a group and go over the questions/passages that we selected.

Send me a direct message if you are interested in joining our group.

Thanks,

Wanted to take one more PT this week before i take the jan lsat? Should i just take most recently released one?

I struggle with performance when taking timed PTs. Untimed, I rarely miss any questions. However, under the pressure of time, I'm only getting halfway through each section, likely due to nerves impacting my confidence and my process (taking way too long reading/eliminating etc.).

My question is, in order to get the best use of analytics, should I be cutting myself off when the time ends (despite having so much of the section undone)? Or should I just finish it at my own pace and take that as my score?

A side note: I use benchmarks to track my time and I know logically that I have to move fast and skip hard questions. I've also completed every page of the LSAT Trainer, so I feel reasonably prepared for testing. Still, I get so anxious that I can't really "sense" the hard questions from the easy ones and I either: (1) Skip so many that I feel freaked out by the amount I'm not doing which kills my performance or (2) to avoid the previous scenario, I just don't skip any.

I'm wondering if cutting myself off when time is up, although it sucks and it is super stressful, might help me overall improve my instincts for questions to skip and improve my ability to manage my pace overall. Does anyone know if this is the best approach to fixing it? Any other ideas are also GREATLY appreciated.

Hi,

I'm really struggling with author's inference questions in RC. Does anyone remember if a specific lesson covered this? Or if anyone has a helpful approach, I would be so grateful :)

Hi everyone, thanks for clicking in this post.

I will take the LSAT in Jan (and it will be my first and only LSAT score) but some schools' application deadline is Feb 1st. I'm a little bit worried if I should force myself to have a try on Nov LSAT (I have already registered it but feel not very confident, consider to cancel it)

I wondered will I be able to submit the application without LSAT score?

Thanks.

As of today, I changed my LSAT from October to this August. I have been studying about 40 hours per week since May 17th. However, I have only taken the initial diagnostic as a prep test because I had generated a custom study schedule based on having 4 months, which would allow me to complete all of the material provided in 7sage by October.

I received a 151 as my score on my diagnostic, and my goal is a 170. I realize that now, I only have a little over 2 months to raise my score significantly. I have completed half of the C.C. (including every practice set and video, 100hrs of material so far).

How many practice tests would people recommend doing a week if I continue to study about 40 hours a week? I was thinking that I should now focus my time watching lessons over the rest of LR, LG, and RC, applying the techniques in 2-4 of the practice sets in each section, and then be able to move on to solely practice tests and blind review. I would go back and use the practice sets not done to drill the question-types I am getting wrong on the practice tests.

Please let me know if you have any advice!

Hey everyone, I was wondering how often the LSAT does weird misc games, like the subway line one on prep test 18. I'm trying to budget the remaining time I have before the August LSAT and I want to know how much priority I should give them. Are they common on the newer LSATS?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am struggling with keeping in the time constraints I've set for myself during my PTs. I try to remind myself to look at the display timer every time I click on the next question or am going through ACs, but sometimes I am deep in a LG and totally go over time before I've had the chance to look back. I used to use my phone to time myself and it would sit directly in front of me as I took a hardcopy PT.

Since everything is digital, I'm trying to switch up my practices accordingly... But I'm wondering if anyone has used the LSAT analog watches available and would suggest them? I'm thinking that with the watch right next to my sheet of paper, it will be easier for me to keep an eye on the time. Do you think I should invest in a watch - and if so, which one - or do you think monitoring the timer will become easier with practice and would be best to stick to the display timer only?

Would appreciate some advice before I spend the money on a timer that may hinder my studying in some way rather than help! Thank you so much!

Is there anyone who can look over my personal statement?

Hello All
