Hello all. I'm trying to add a school to my list on the LSAC website for next fall and the school I want to add is greyd out and not able to add. Can anyone help me out with this? Thank you

Not looking for a group, just a partner or 2.

Particularly scoring in the high 160s looking to ultimately score in the 170s on test day.

Inbox me if interested!

I choose A, I thought it was a Sufficente/ Necessity error confusion, but I can understand that the suttle part is when the argument give us an example of a recent research where flexibility works better than tighten groups if a common purpose is shared, but what if not? That means the sufficient condition is not meat and we lose the necessary condition, so we don't have an argument.

Hi community,

Two of us are planning to meet via Zoom this evening to start BR-ing PT 79. Looking for joiners. If you want to join, here is the link to a GroupMe group where I will post the Zoom link closer to the target time (9:30 PM EST):

https://groupme.com/join_group/59756531/VhuncmF5

If you don't have GroupMe, DM me here and I will send you the link that way. Maybe we will do more PTs after 79.

Happy studying!

Hi all,

Neurotic question here: Just submitted a bunch of apps these past couple days. For those of us submitting now, are we at a considerable disadvantage to people who applied in Sept - Nov?

Hi everyone ! I already applied to law schools for this cycle and I have some free time today. If anyone wants me to edit their essays please message me. I would be happy to edit a few personal statements. My limit will be 4 so message ASAP if you want me to review for content, grammar, feedback etc. This is totally free by the way.

I've been experiencing a lot of technical issues with the question bank. Regardless of how many questions I choose, only half will actually load. It's also not possible for me to choose multiple question types in LR.I tried google chrome, firefox, and safari.

Is anyone else having issues as well?

On a few of my blind reviewed sections, I have actually performed worse than my timed sections. Most of my errors are due to a lack of confidence, overthinking, or a lack of true understanding of the reasoning.

Does anyone have any thoughts/advice on the following in terms of BR?

So I wanted to know if anyone has applied through a website based application like Wash U's before. I was recently invited to interview when I apply. I am interested in Wash U's program and responded that I would like to interview but I am still waiting on my CAS fee waiver to come through. They sent me the link to their website based application and asked me to apply there. I am currently still working on my PS and DS as well as waiting on LoR's. I am a super-splitter so they, along with my resume and grad school records will be very important. The website based application however does not ask for any essays except a Why Wash U essay. Has anyone used their site based app before? Do they later e-mail you and ask for the additional materials? My inclination would be that they would expect me to send them on pretty quickly and rather than allowing me to make a good impression in the interview while I prepare the rest of the materials they might A: want to know where those materials were and why they were not ready yet or B: go ahead and process the application without them. Both of those would not be ideal for my situation.

Does anyone have experience with this want to chime in? When did they ask for the additional materials? Was there a timeline to complete the application? I am inclined to email them directly but I need to be very careful not to sound either unprepared in the email or like I am putting them off for later because I am not actually that interested.

HI guys,

Do you guys think it would be beneficial to first learn the section and then do practice questions before moving on to the next section. Like should I get the methods down first then practice and do exams or should i get the method down apply it additionally and move on?

Let me know.

Is there anyone in the area of Clemson/Greenville currently studying for the September LSAT who would want to form a study group? I was thinking we could pick a few PTs to take individually and then BR together, but am definitely willing to study in whichever way the group thinks is best!

I am planning on graduating spring 2021. When I fill out the "Bachelor's Degree-Granting Institution" portion on the CAS, do I fill it out with the current/anticipated GPA and major, even though I haven't technically graduated and have 2 more semesters?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Is every RC passage from PTs 1-35 used in the curriculum's problem sets? I am trying to get every bit of RC practice I can, and would love to know if anyone knows of certain passages in particular that weren't pulled for the curriculum. I've done the problem sets twice over and am looking for unused material (I've also already done every RC passage since 35 already).

I've been preparing LSAT for almost a year and I was originally planning to apply in the 2021-2022 cycle. I took the Aug test as my first try and got screwed. It seems to me that the LSAT became harder after it changed to 4 sections and the difficulty levels are closed to PT 80s. My LG is unstable, LR makes little progress and RC is a complete nightmare. I was originally planning to take the November test but the schoolwork burned me out and my study schedule got messed up it seems like I made no improvement over the past months. I got so frustrated and I literally had no motivation to practice at all. I'm right now thinking about postponing the November test to Jan and apply next year, but the pressure of worrying about I could not make improvement even if I postpone it makes me want to cry. The pressure of schoolwork, LSAT prep, and job searching for next year all add up and makes me feel so lost rn. I know I sounds like a spoiled school kid who can not handle pressure (I know many people who are in the workforce also struggled with LSAT prep and somehow manage to succeed) , but at this stage I just want to write out my true thoughts and I wonder if there's anyone who also decide to change their original plan from applying this year to next year because of struggles with the test change. Want to hear more thoughts and advice from ppl who are experiencing similar things. Thx

I understand why the correct answer is correct but I’m still iffy about answer choice A. Every website I check has different reasons for why it’s incorrect. I’ve read that it’s because the choice says beverage which doesn’t necessarily include coffee but is that a legitimate reason? It seems like nitpicking to me but if I’m wrong I’d like to know. I picked A because I thought the different levels of exercise could explain the discrepancy in arthritis between the two groups. Looking back I think I misread A as saying people who drink decaf are more likely to exercise than those who drink regular coffee. Would that make the choice correct or no? Why or why not?

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-69-section-1-question-05/

I believe I have a firm understanding of most underlying concepts to questions/passages at this point in my studies. Although, I might easily be incorrect in that presumption. I have read the LR and LG PowerScore bibles page-for-page. I have completed nearly every educational video in the syllabus for 7Sage. I have read the entirety of Manhattan Prep's RC book. I am kinda stuck on where to go from here. Here are my stats currently, which I am only providing as a basis for how I should study:

Generally LR (-2/-3), LG (-0/-1), and RC (-5/-6).

These stats alone -- I think -- reveal my weakness in RC and a need to really focus on it in the coming days. Are there any suggestion on how I can most effectively improve my score in roughly 30 days? I could still take sections and review normally. I could attempt to pay for a tutor -- albeit I am completely self-supporting in college. Any insight on how to make the next jump would be greatly appreciated!

So i saw someone else with this idea for CC, i hope he/she doesnt mind that i am borrowing the idea.

I am currently in my PT/ intensive phase. I have already finished the CC and foolproofed games 1-35.

If anyone is interested in picking LR and RC sections from 7-50s to intensively review and speak out the underlying principles, i would love to listen and exchange ideas.

I find that, when it comes to this test everyone has strengths and things they can bring to the table, i would love to hear and try to employ yours and reciprocate if i can.

I will be studying full time come the end of this week. Comment and PM if your interested in a phone call or chat

There is no explanation for this question on 7sage, so I'll just post a discussion that includes my reasoning on how I got this wrong in timed conditions and later right in BR. If anyone finds it useful, great!

RRE question.

In jurisdictions where the use of headlights is optional when visibility is good, drivers who use headlights at all times are less likely to be involved in a collision than those drivers who use headlights only when visibility is poor.

Record shows that making use of headlights mandatory does nothing to reduce the overall number of collisions.

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Why is it that drivers who use headlights at all times are less likely to be involved in a collision than those that only use it when visibility is poor? If in any case, the record shows that making it mandatory does not reduce the number of collisions.

Sometimes repeating the stimulus in a question form that directly addresses what the gap is between the 2 statements is what helps reach the link the gap of what is missing. It is also important to do this in a confusing stimulus because you do not want to lose sight of what you are trying to reconcile.

It is also good to prephrase (try to picture the flaw in a question before moving into the ACs). In this case, because maybe what causes the collision is not necessarily the headlights and perhaps there is another factor that plays a role, and the headlights are just correlated with this.

<><><><><><><><>

AC C: I picked it but I switched to E on timed conditions (wrong decision). C sounds kind of irrelevant but in reality, it directly addresses the question stated above. Why is it that there is a difference between the drivers who use headlights at all times and those who do not? Because the former are more careful, which might explain why they get into less collisions.

AC E: This sounds good at first, but it fails to reconcile the statements. It just gives a reason to maybe why the jurisdiction implemented the law. It does not explain why those drivers that use headlights at all are less likely to be involved in a collision than those who use it when is poor.

Hi all!

I am in the process of making my list of schools that I want to apply to in the fall and came across the trend that many schools with a highly ranked health law program are not ranked as high on the overall list. I am set on pursuing a career in health law, but I was wondering how much these rankings actually mean and if I would be put at a disadvantage in finding a job if I attend a highly ranked health law specific school that is not as highly ranked when compared to other schools overall. Thank you!

Hey all! I'm taking the exam this January and know scheduling is supposed to open up tomorrow, I remember in the past there was a glitch where students could book early.

Just wanted to check if there were any updates on that situation, I just want to get my fair chance by booking as soon as it opens!

Am going to attend a T3. I'm very worried about the overenrollment issue and what it might mean for my employment. Should I seriously consider deferring for a year?

I scored a 169 on the October LSAT and looking to break 170 on the January test. Reading comprehension is holding me back, and I am currently averaging around -3 – -4 on practice tests for RC. If anyone has any tips/tricks/drilling suggestions to get down to -1 – -2, please let me know!

i've been seeing a lot of people's RAM usage higher than the 95% allowed by Proctor U. There are tons of articles on how to reduce your RAM on our computer. These are my go-to tips for a macbook air (intel - but that doesn't matter)

clear browsing data

elipses top right hand corner > settings > clear browsing data

clear chrome task manager

elipses top right hand corner > more tools > task manager > quit any running programs

**** NOT proctor U extension though

hope this helps - good luck!

So I have been studying for a few mmonths and just finished the core curriculum and I was wondering whether I should use all of the preptests or not. I have considered that I may have to take the LSAT a second time and was wondering whether I should leave a few of the preptests in pristine condiditon for potential later studying? for people who have taken a second LSAT what did you do and what would you recomend in studying for the first one and potentially for a second one

Any 170+ takers in Chi grinding the 170-175 curve before the August exam in Chicago?

Meet ups in Cook county law library downtown.
