Hi Future Litigators,

We're starting the most successful LSAT study group again. First time test takers learn the structure and most successful tactics to approach every section, while prior test takers looking to improve their score identify your strengths and weakness from seasoned experts who've all previously scored in the mid 170s

Join the groupme "LSAT Masters" https://groupme.com/join_group/101975292/YIPNEohF be added for the Zoom link.

We want to limit seats to make the group more personal and productive so we're limited to 40 seats each cycle.

Meeting twice a week for 3 hour midday 11am - 2pm and afternoon 7pm - 10pm EST sessions. First 20 mins of each session will include a group discussion to address updates, testimonials, and concerns. Followed by breakout study groups according to your goals and needs assessment.

Look forward to networking and building of our community's success!

Hey everyone,

I spent 3 weeks at an international legal academy hosted at a university in Switzerland during my undergrad years. It wasn't any type of program sponsored by my university, and since it was less than a year long I thought I wasn't supposed to send the transcript to LSAC. But some law schools specifically say "Transcripts of postsecondary work completed at a college or university outside the United States or Canada must be submitted through the LSAC Credential Assembly Service (CAS)."

Does anyone have any idea whether these instructions would apply to less than a year of study, or whether LSAC would even accept the transcripts if I sent them?

Hello!!!

I'm looking for some study partners!!! I scored a 165 last year and I am trying to get a 170+.

Would love some mutual help/guidance/accountability to make sure I am getting in the study I can. I'm a full time graduate student in music composition at the moment, so it's a bit harder to get to studying than what I would have suspected...please reach out if you are interested! Thanks!!!

I was thrown off by this one; even took a few times to read it before I realized what I did wrong. What I failed to recognize is that he seems to be assumed the reason for the complaints is the complainant's difference in political opinion; this has, in fact, not been demonstrated to be true.

Hi, I’m working on the 12 LR Drilling sections for MSS questions, and I could use some tips for Blind Review. A lot of what I have listened to makes me as if Blind Reviewing would be more effective when doing PTs. But what i’ve been doing so far is watching the explanation videos for questions I get wrong and then writing down why I get them wrong and why the right answer is right. But I still seem to miss a couple questions during each drill. Any tips?

Hi all,

I've been studying for the LSAT for ~3 months now in preparation for the April LSAT, and I was consistently in the 166-170 range before finally hitting my target of 172+ (173) recently. What steps should I be taking to maintain this score in the month remaining before my test?

I take plenty of PrepTests and do lots of drills, but sometimes I feel like doing these drills isn't helping me learn -- like JY said in a video, it's almost like I'm doing them just for the bet of hoping I score well once I see my results. I also don't have one particular 'weakness', so I feel like going back in the curriculum isn't too useful.

Would really love any advice!

Hey all.

I'm looking to start a study group or be a study partner in the SLC/Provo area.

Currently, I am scoring around 15high 16low and am drilling LG like crazy. I will be taking the LSAT in June, but I'm considering an April test as well. This will mostly be for accountability purposes and surrounding ourselves with likeminded people. I think we can also support each other in our admissions efforts when the time comes.

Message me on here so we can exchange information.

I have been struggling in the LR section, especially in the middle to end of the section. After question 14/15, I tend to get mostly all the questions wrong getting about -10 to -12 wrong in this section. I really hope to improve at this section by the NOV 2021 LSAT. If anyone is kind enough to tutor me for about 3-4 hours a week it would be greatly appreciated. I can compensate you for the hours! I am looking to score in the high 150s, at best a 160. My LG is my strongest section as I occasionally only get about -2 or -3 wrong. I have decided not to prepare as much for the RC with the limited time I have as I feel LG would be easier to improve in the coming weeks. I am looking to get down to -5 or -6 on the LR. Let me know if anyone is able to tutor!! It would be very much appreciated.

So I've been noticing a trend lately where my RC score has been varying widely. Sometimes I'll score -4 and then the next day I'll score -10. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this problem and become more consistent on RC?

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share that I got my first 180 on a PT! It wasn't a fresh PT, it was the same one I used for my diagnostic many months back, and even though I remembered very few of the questions I'm sure that inflated my score to some extent. I was given the advice to retake old PTs during my last week before my test and I'm mainly sharing this to let you all know that it's good advice I'd recommend. It helps boost confidence which is essential going into game day and still lets you practice pacing and the like without burning yourself out in the last week. Definitely found it worthwhile for myself and would encourage others to try as well. It's particularly fun retaking your diagnostic to remind yourself how much you've grown over the course of your studies.

Good luck to all my October brethren. Rooting for y'all!

Hi,

Could someone please help me with interpreting "except" in this sentence?

In order to encourage personal responsibility in adults, society should not restrict the performance of any of the actions of adults or interfere with the likely results except to prevent negative effects on others.

This short premise is originally from PT 69 Section 2 Q15. The way JY interprets except in the sentence is that "if there is interference, then it is to prevent negative effects on others". I understand this logical transition. However, in the syllabus, doesn't he say that "except" is a bi-conditional indicator? So, will we use "except" as a bi-conditional indicator here to translate the logic?

Thank you for the help!!!! I sincerely appreciate any helpful comments.

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

I've done my undergrad in the U.S but had to return back to Canada upon graduating. I was wondering what would be the case if I attended law school in the U.S with a student visa? Is there a way to obtain a green card via sponsorship to continue to stay and work in the U.S?
