Hi all,

One of my colleagues at work taught law school (at a school I don't plan on applying to) and can connect me with a professor at a school I do want to apply to (Georgetown). My instinct is that my colleague is a better choice since she knows my work better but should I ask that she incorporate that she taught law in her letter? Would it matter? Should I try to get a letter from both?

Does anyone have suggestions for the best place to actually take an LSAT Flex? I am schedule to take the exam in August (guessing it will probably be a Flex), but absolutely cannot do this in my house as there are way too many distractions. I was thinking about getting a hotel room. Would love to hear what others have done in June - or are planning to do in July.

How vital is it to have more than 2 letters of rec if a school takes up to 4? I've heard that if the school takes 4, you should submit 3. I have another recommender in mind but he would not be able to complete my letter until beginning of next year, so would it be better to submit my application with 2 letters earlier, or wait for 3?

Hey everyone,

I am planning on taking the January 2024 LSAT. I have been studying for quite a while now, and am scoring in the range of 152-155. I recently just decided to purchase 7sage due to the overall positive results it has produced for students. I have been PT'ing using 7sage as well scoring within that range, however, I have been scoring between 166-168 on my blind reviews. Here are my averages for each section:

LG: -6/-7 (-1/0 BR)

LR: -9 (-5/-6 BR)

RC: -10 (-5/-6 BR)

One of my overarching issues is pacing. I can't seem to quite get to where I want to be given the time constraint. This usually forces me to skip a LG section, and forces me to miss a fair amount of questions on both RC and LR. Sometimes, depending of difficulty, I may skip a LG section while being about 50% on each answer for another.

From all of this, I would just like to know what I should do going forward with studying. Should I go through 7sage's modules and work each section out? I work about 30 hours per week, and since my graduate classes are completed for the semester, that is really my only obligation as of now. My goal score is to get around a 160. Thank you so much!

For those of you who have closed a large BR gap. How did you do it? currently scoring around 157 timed and BR around 164/165. I obviously need to do more PTs. Would love to score at my BR level lol. Generally feel like under timed, my brain doesn't catch on as quickly and effectively. I'm starting to recognize some patterns here and there in LR and RC. Questions 1-18 on LR, I can do them fairly easily (though not with perfect accuracy, again my brain just doesn't register as quickly under timed, but when I'm BR-ing, i'm like how did i miss that). It's the questions near the end, they just really eat me up. Tips welcomed!

Also any tips on improving RC?

Looking for any success stories/general tips as a guide. Thanks!

Actual:

LR: -8 to -10 per section

RC -9

LG -5 to -7

BR:

LR -5 to -7 per section

RC -5

LG -1 to perfect

Hi, I'm taking the August LSAT and looking for other study partners who are also studying full time. The best way to learn for me has been through talking out with others the questions and the reasoning for the correct and incorrect answer choices. I aiming to cover one PT per week and focusing only on the LR and RC sections and BR together the sections.

If you're interested join the group me,

Hi everyone, I'm currently struggling with RC (mainly timing issues). I'm working with standard time and it's just not enough for me. When I'm practicing with a little extra time or just untimed, I tend to write out my low-res, view points and all that stuff and I ZOOM through the questions missing no more than 1 or 2 at the most on the passages. When timing constraints are on, my note taking is shit and I can't comprehend the text as much as I should be and I rush. Do I just need to slowly get rid of the physical note taking?

Hi everyone!!

I would love to create a welcoming group for LSAT studying. I am in greater LA area near West Hollywood/Burbank. Please let me know if anyone would like to join!! I can create a discord/Group Me. Currently studying for August but that may change due to my scores lol.

Shoot me message if interested!

Does anyone happen to have a list of LR questions that include conditional logic flaw in the stimulus? I'm trying to get better with recognizing when the main flaw has to do with conditional logic. I ran into question 18 from section 3 of PT 31, and the stimulus includes conditional logic. I was able to make a conditional logic chain and I was forcing myself to look for a flaw in the conditional logic. It turned out that the flaw had nothing to do with conditional logic. Instead the flaw in the stimulus dealt with a part to whole error. This isn't the first time that I try to force the conditional logic flaw, so I'm planning on drilling this weakness. However, I would greatly appreciate having a list of questions with conditional flaw. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble understanding why answer choice B is the correct answer. I looked at B at first and thought that there was no way it could've been right. I chose C as my original answer

Has anyone else full-proofed the so-called 'pattern', 'circular' and 'mapping' game types as a set?

PoweScore did a further breakdown of some of the games that 7Sage has labeled as "Misc". Curious if anyone else has done this and if this has helped them further recognize the any meta-inferences within these game types?

(for clarification what I mean by meta-inferences is like in In-Out games where the out group is full so everyone else filters in)

I would be applying to law schools in Australia as an international student. Can someone tell me:

(i) What is the average LSAT score range for the three law schools?

(ii) Do I need an LSAT score as high as I normally would in the US?

(iii) Are international students evaluated at par with other candidates or is there a different criterion?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I am a third year (final year) undergrad student in India, and am looking to apply for admissions for Fall 2021/22. I was wondering whether the law schools in the U.S and Canada accept three year international degrees? I am at a NAAC 'A' graded school (rated in the highest tier in India) with a triple major and 120 credits scheduled to be completed by the time I graduate next year. Would I be eligible for admissions to law schools, more specifically the T14 schools?

Thank you!

Do people use memory method time structure during actual PT or problem set drills or is it only strictly for practice? I feel like I'm getting tripped up over how to use it lol so I wanna know how other people make best use of it because I definitely like it and want to implement it into my study habits.
