Hello folks! Hope everything is well during your application cycle.

Just wondering would part time bachelor studies affect our JD admissions?

I only have 5 classes left for my last two semesters and will take part time studies during the last two semesters. This is due to that I have transfer credits from Quebec CEGEP (College).

Anybody familiar with this issue? Would part time studies affect my admission to Canadian law schools?

Thanks and Good luck!

I am confused on why B is correct. I originally discounted it because it says "only by discovering the chemical composition of the protoplasm... ." I did not think that the passage reflected that this is the only way, but rather that it is an important aspect. Any help is much appreciated!

Could anyone explain why the answer for this question is A instead of E? Should we gave gleaned from the stimulus that the fungi turned the logs to dead and decaying rather than them already being in that state beforehand?

Should I be taking practice tests as I complete the modules? I feel like going 6 weeks without taking a practice test is really long.

I started studying for the LSAT a couple weeks ago. I first used Khan Academy, then started using the Kaplan book, and after a couple recommendations from friends, have made it to 7sage. I am planning to take the LSAT in the October administration giving 10-11 more weeks of studying.

I'm trying to make sense of the difference in allotted study time between Kaplan and 7sage. Kaplan seemed to think it was perfectly reasonable to spend 2-3 months studying and hit your goal with 15-20 hours per week. 7sage prescribes as much as a year! Right now, the study calendar is prescribing me 40+ hours per week. Can someone explain why there's such a big difference between Kaplan and 7sage? Will I be okay taking the LSAT in October? How can I adjust the tools 7sage offers?

I am still 145-150 range and I want to get a 170 for November lsat. is it possible can you give me some studying tips and strategies for logical reasoning and reading comprehension. I feel like its not hard but sometimes I come down to 2 answers and choose the wrong one and be like shit.

Basically what the title says. Due to the nature of the environment I study in and I would prefer to read a written explanation for wrong answers. Is this an option on 7S? I know it is on other platforms but for some reason I cannot find a written explanation for answers on here.

TIA!

Because of all of the problems with the remote August LSAT, should I consider switching to in-person for the September exam? Has LSAC committed to solving the issues that came up? I would just switch to in-person, but I'm worried a change in setting will have a significant impact on my score. I've been taking my practice exams in relatively the exact setting I will take my real exam in, and I was really counting on that helping out with my "test day penalty". What is everyone else doing?

Re-posting this in a more organized manner so everything is in one place. Here is some context.

Last attempt for this cycle.

150 -> 155 -> 159.

I need a 161 at least to be at the median for my dream school. 2 more points.

Of course most of us feel less pressure / whole different dynamic practice test vs. real thing, but I was scoring 163 - 167 for the last 10 tests I took prior to the October LSAT. Not sure if my brain freezes or what. My average was 164 so I was expecting a 160 at least.

Please help, how can I get these two extra points? What would you do in my shoes?I guess Im asking if i retake all the ones i took and start from scratch 7sage? or focus more on review? obviously with the performance anxiety of it being real doesnt help me but instead is a deterrent, i need this to feel as "fake" and relaxed and possible. what do i do study method wise? Im willing to put in the work next month but dont know what to do study method wise.

Any help or insight would be much appreciated. thank you in advance

Hi folks,

I just finished the foundational course. For some of the lessons, I took it very seriously and tried to master it but then I went a bit faster and was not matriculate so I think I still need to master it or come back to it. Should I move onto the LR lessons and come back to the foundational course later or when I need to? or should I try to revise and nail it down before moving to LR.

Thanks!

Thank you for the help in advance :)

I’m planning to apply this cycle.

I’m currently doing 3-months internship at NGO startup and it ends this month!

Since I was a postgraduate student, it’s quite easy to be hired as a staff member at a college…

But I worry if this will make my resume weak.

🔢 I'm currently scoring: High 150s low 160s

📆 My planned test date: Unplanned, hoping to study until I feel ready. Aiming for spring of 2024

📈 To study, I have been: I've finished the CC and have been drilling and PTing, hoping to improve my studying with group members

🔑 My goals for this group are: To hold each other accountable and to take opportunities learning and teaching one another

🔍 We'll focus on: All sections, heavier emphasis on LR and RC

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: Hoping to determine the best times once I get a group together. I work a 9-5 and am hoping to be able to accommodate a study schedule off of that.

✅ How to join: Message me through here!

Would someone with experience be willing to review my PTs with me to help strategize where I should focus moving forward? I'm planning on taking the test in January and February.

I currently have two transcripts on LSAC because I transferred universities after my second year of bachelors.

Am also an international applicant as well, so after CAS' credit evaluation I have a transript from my previous uni (never completed due to transfer) that says, 'Above Average'. This is listed under 'post-secondary institution'.

The other transcript from my current uni (where I will be getting my diploma) is 'Superior', and listed as 'Bachelor-Equivalent institution'.

I did two years from each universities as my credits were transferred to my current university's bachelor program. The transferred credits did not get converted course by course, and didn't count towards my total GPA-which required me to send two transcripts. Also LSAC requires transcripts from ALL institutions..

Does anyone have any idea how admissions work in this case? Do schools/LSAC take both transcripts into account or only the one that you get the diploma from? Tried emailing LSAC to ask about this but they sent me a completely unrelated answer and ignored my follow-up :(

A year ago (last may), I graduated from undergrad, and at the time, I thought I was going to be applying for law school the upcoming fall. Since then, I've decided to take a gap year to work, study for the LSAT, and get my law school applications together. Shortly after graduating, I reached out to one of my supervisor from undergrad about writing me a letter of recommendation and uploading it to LSAC. It's been about a year now and I am officially getting ready to apply for applications come this fall. Should I reach back out to my recommender about updating the letter. Maybe changing the date it was drafting and adding any additional information about what I've been doing over the past year, or just leave it as is? Does it really matter to admissions?

So I am registered for the August lsat and currently averaging 157/158. I was previously scoring 160 highest being 162 before coming across the more difficult lr on pt 80s and 90s.

I am wondering if I should push my test to sept or if you guys think it is possible to increase my score to 162 range by August test.

If I am graduating this December from my undergraduate school but applying to law school before that, do I re upload my transcript once I graduate?

I need a detailed explanation. thank you

JY says in the prep test explanation video there is a seperate video on 7sage to watch where all possible worlds are solved. Where can I find his video?

I scored a 158 on my August LSAT. It was about what I was scoring at the time I honestly expected to score worse, but I am aiming to score in the low 160's by October. Is it possible to increase by at least 5 points by October? I'm trying to figure out a better study schedule for the month that is not so grueling, I studied 6 days a week about 7 hours from June to August. Any helpful advice or tips would be lovely.

I chose C but I can see why it is A now. The premise is that there are these two cars which have different uses and weights. And we also learn that lighter cars are more fuel efficient. Therefore when the conclusion says "Since most automobile traffic is local... net saving in fuel blah blah blah. We need to fill the gap of "so most people must be using the lighter car when driving downtown. Therefore for A, which tells us that most families that drive long distances have two cars, that is the assumption we need which is that even people who have cars that drive long distances also have downtown lighter cars for local traffic.

Hi everyone,

I am currently scoring around 170s in the PTs. I am looking to gain some offline teaching experience for me to better understand the material myself. I am wondering if anyone would want a free tutoring at a meeting room in Gangnam (TOZ Study Cafe). I teach 100% in English and am a current international school teacher. Please send me an inbox DM!

I was between D and E, and ended up choosing E. I can see why D is correct, but why is E wrong? I thought "directive" used in this context could be used as compelling the society to unite whereas "guiding" seemed a bit weak in comparison.

Can someone elaborate on this please?

Prep Test 17 Section 4 Passage 3 #16

Could someone help me with why D is not the correct answer?

In the second paragraph, it gives the stats for carbon taxes and says "It should be noted, however, that these numbers ignore the effect of the tax on economic growth, and hence on emissions". Doesn't that imply that the taxes need to account for the effect on economic growth, and are thus influenced by it and would vary based on the effect that the tax would have on a country's economy (D)?

On the above mentioned section it mentions how many seats two different kids can sit in. By my reasoning Frank can only sit in seats 1 or 3 and Ruby can only sit in seats 2 or 4 so my answer was (B) Two. It says the correct answer is (C) Three. How is it three not two?
