Proctors:

Morning test start, so make sure you arrive at David Turpin building at the very latest 8:30am. The check-in will be right in the main floor when you enter in the building.

Facilities:

David Turpin Building - Large Class Room - Holds a couple hundred students

What kind of room:

The seating rows are like stadium seating sloping down towards the chalkboard

How many in the room:

I would approximate the attendance to be close to 150 students

Desks:

Large tables with swivel chairs that are very uncomfortable and do not allow for much adjustment because they are fastened to the tables.

Left-handed accommodation:

Yes

Noise levels:

Noise levels are very good. Very few distractions.

Parking:

Parking is also very good with a huge stadium parking lot right across the road from the test taking building. Because the tests are done on Saturday there is usually plenty of space and I only had to pay $2.50 for the whole day.

Time elapsed from arrival to test:

Arrival time 8:30 - Finish time 1:40pm October 2015 write date (it was very unorganized for this write date)

Arrival times 8:30 - Finish time 12:40pm February 2016 write date

Irregularities or mishaps:

In October 2015 there was a section that no 5 minute warning was announced which was frustrating for many test takers that day. The staff at the February write were much more organized and more pleasant to deal with.

Other comments:

Would you take the test here again?

Yes, definitely. Although it would be nice to have more comfortable chairs for the 4 hour experience.

Date[s] of Exam[s]:

Oct. 2015 and Feb. 2016

Hello everyone,

I would appreciate it if you could provide insight into some potential questions I have received from various applicants with similar/repeated questions. Here they are:

If an applicant has gone to 3 academic institutions: two in US/Canada and one outside US/Canada, will all 3 transcripts be included in LSAC's GPA? It's worth noting that one institution attended outside US/Canada had a 4.0 GPA grading scale with a US/Canadian-based curriculum.

A course was taken twice/repeated. The transcript shows both grades along with course credit however the 1st attempt is marked as an "extra" course meaning while it does have a credit shown, its credit value is equivalently 0 as it does not count towards the institution's cGPA calculation. Hence, would the 1st attempt need to be mentioned/ will count towards LSAC's GPA calculation?

Would meeting a law school's 75th percentile GPA allow you to get in if you meet its 25th percentile LSAT score? Kinda like a reverse splitter per se.

Thank you :)

Howdy! I'm a senior at UTSA, majoring in Global Affairs. Planning to take the test in June '25 and applying to UT Austin for the fall of '26. Anyone in my neck of the woods looking to connect?

Hi, i posted on here recently for Alabama test takers wanting to meet up. I am in Birmingham seeking study friends. Please let me know!!!

Hi,

Quick question about the above referenced problem. Why is (C) correct, and (B) wrong? I personally disliked (C) because of the word "remain". Stimulus is talking about "being" free (and "becoming" free), not about "remaining".

TIA!

BR GROUP NOTES:

So I am taking the LSAT in September with the new revised model, so I am skipping the LG sections and focusing hard on LR and RC. I wanted to ask what is the best routine to integrate drills into the study session.

I hear a lot of the drills come from PT, and burning though Drills means come PT time, you have essentially already seen some of the questions prior (do I have this right?).

So I wanted to ask if this is the same for post August PTs aswell, and for those taking it without LR, how are you using your PTs and Drills

Any help is valued. Thanks!

I created a 22 question PT for myself, but I am unsure how to locate the Video explanation of the questions. I am looking to find the video for each question explaining why an answer was correct or not correct. Thank you

Hi everyone,

How have games changed since the start of the LSAT? I have began to work my way from the latest to the newest and have noticed that some of the earliest ones are very difficult to comprehend and diagram. Im hoping that the wording has improved significantly since then.

Thanks in advance for your comments!

I had to withdraw from all of my classes halfway through my third semester of university because of a traumatic accident which left me with a severe concussion and broken collarbone. This fact is described in my personal statement, though it is not the main topic.

Would it be advisable to also explain the 'W's on my transcript from this time through a addendum, or would that be over-kill?

When you are retaking a section, how much time do you allot yourself for the entire section? Do you stick with 35 minutes or do you decrease to 33 minutes?

Hoping to submit apps pretty soon, just waiting on some LORs due this week.

Please comment below or PM if you have the time to look over my Why X. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

I am curious to know if any study groups have formed in Lubbock, TX for the February 2015 LSAT?

I am retaking the LSAT in December and was wondering what everyone is doing for their drill work. I am basically going to drill full sections and review them and find out what my weaknesses are. Any advice?

I forgot where I saw a clip of a taped section. After much resistance, I have decided to do it. Can anyone point me to where I can find a clip? Thanks!

In your experience, which games in the 70s do you think are the hardest?

For me, I think 72 G4, 73 G4, 77 G3 (for the novelty) and G4 are some of the hardest.

when the transfer happens will all the progress that i made on both Preptest and Drills transfer over to the new wesite?

Looking a study buddy in the Indy area, but am open to studying with others via Skype. I am pretty dedicated and looking for person with whom I and he/she can keep each other focused when we get antsy and want to go do other things. Also bounce ideas and problems off each other. if anyones interested let me know!

Best,

Jake

Hey y'all,

I started taking practice tests about 2-3 weeks ago. For practically all my tests outside of my diagnostic, I've been scoring between 165-168. I spoke with a few of my friends that either attend law school or are working in the field already, and identified a few aspects that I thought would help me score higher, and possibly break the 170 barrier.

With newfound knowledge in mind, I took a test yesterday, and to my surprise, I scored 174! I'm almost certain this is a fluke, though. I don't think one can achieve a 6 point jump and maintain it consistently.

Including my diagnostic, I've only taken 10 tests though, so my sample size is small. Because of that, I don't feel confident I'll know my actual scoring range until I have several more tests under my belt.

My question: For those of you who aimed at and broke past a certain score threshold after plateauing, did you find your scores tend to stay past that threshold? Alternatively, did you find your performance was a fluke and your average scores surpass that goal some time after that first time breaking the threshold?

I'm most definitely not planning on using my most recent score as an excuse to slow things down, but I also want to know how other people in the community "knew" they had gotten over their humps.

Hey @"David.Busis" . This resource is so helpful. Will a 2019 version be available?

I'm caught in this trap where I try to spend as many possible hours as I can reviewing and studying PTs but I think not having a definite boundary has been detrimental. I'm more likely to be fatigued and the quality of my studying drops since I spread my time out so generally. I think I could focus a lot more by dedicating some amount of time to coordinate myself, but I don't know what would be enough. Maybe I think that 8 hours is necessary for example but it turns out I could do everything in 4 or 5. I know this is different from person to person, but I'd like to hear different kinds of approaches. Is there something you've found that works for you?

Hi!

According to your explanation video, the tutor said the cause here is 'technologically superior' and the effect is 'lower infant mortality' but i still can't understand why.

What I thought is the reversed version of that. The cause is 'lower infant mortality' and the effect is 'tech superior'.

And answer choice (A) suggests that the cause can be actually the effect of the other cause, which breaks the causal relationship between 'lower infant mortality' and 'tech superior.' So basically (A) is saying the cause is 'broader access' and the effect is 'tech superior.'

Is my thought process ok to use?

Proctors: Middle of the road. Good but not great. Firm but not too strict.

Facilities: Plenty of room. Lighting could have been a little brighter. Temperature was fine. Chairs were reasonably comfy.

What kind of room: Large gathering room located in their Alumni Center which is just off campus.

How many in the room: We had about 25 but it could have easily accomodated several more.

Desks: Long skinny rectangles. Sadly, the surface was textured. Come on La Sierra.

Left-handed accommodation: Not needed with their setup.

Noise levels: Very quiet.

Parking: Plentiful and close. No sticker or permit needed.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About half an hour.

Irregularities or mishaps: For some reason the proctor took about 3 seconds between sections 4 and 5 after she had moved at a much more normal pace on all the other change-overs. Watch reset had to happen super fast on that one.

Other comments: Bathroom facilities were decent and accomodated an appropriate number of people for the number who were taking the exam (which was NOT the case at my previous LSAT location).

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: December 5, 2016

I'm looking for a study buddy or two in the Sacramento area. We can meet for coffee and discuss strategies :)

Hi! I was wondering if anyone was in a similar position or can help guide me in my current situation. I did two years of undergrad at one Canadian university, and then I transferred to another. Since not all my credits transferred over, and because I did not complete a full course-load in my second year of undergrad, I have to do an additional fifth year. I know each law schools are different whether they look at your best two years or your cumulative GPA, but do they look at your transcripts from the school you transferred from and take those marks into account for GPA calculation/or as one of your best academic years? When I transferred to my new school, my GPA was wiped clean. As well, I don’t require to take a full year’s worth of courses in order to graduate this year in my fifth year, but if I do extra courses to bump my GPA, will they count those even if they are additional courses not required for me to graduate? I have been trying to do research these questions on chat forums and on Canadian Law school websites but I have had no luck.

I appreciate any help!

Thanks!
