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 know how to translate rules when there is an indicators present but I am having trouble when there isn't an indicator. I confuse not both with always apart sometimes and it effects my timing.

for example on In/out problem set 2:

fenugreek is not included in the same recipe as nutmeg F(-)/N

Saffron is not included in the same recipe as Turmeric S (-)/T

initially translated these as not both. is it because its an in/out game that they are forever apart

on In/out with sub categories problem set 1 game 1

Gibson and Vega do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other

Hsu and young do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other

both are translated as not both rules according to lesson

help please

Hey all,

I'm new to the LSAT world and was hoping for some insight on the registration process.

How does the process of registering for the test date work? Once I register and pay do I have the option to withdraw or cancel it?

Do the spots fill up quick or would it be okay to wait later? Do we pick our time to write the test the same time we register or do actual test times come out later?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone,

My name is Keith and I am a Zimbabwean living in Johannesburg South Africa. I am currently an Ethics and English teacher and I am trying to study law in the US. I have been referred here and was told that the resources here and the people here are helpful. I am tight on money but would appreciate any resources people may have for me! Also, does anyone know how to register for the lsat in JHB?

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

Hey y'all! I am 3 weeks into my LSAT study prep and I'm wondering whether the study schedule or syllabus option is best. I have just been going though the syllabus every day and while its working, I don't know if I should be focusing more on how the study schedule sets up the material. Is it fine to just go through the syllabus or should I abide by the study schedule they generate? I am planning to take the test in 3-6 months.

Hi I have a question...there's a school that I am applying to that says I must include any violation of the law EXCEPT those that were expunged and there's another school that says include any violation including those that were expunged.

In 2016 I got a citation for possession of alcohol that was expunged.

If I include an addendum for one school, but not the other, how will this affect me in the long run with the bar and in general with applications? Should I include it with all of my schools? I plan to practice in PA or NJ if possible.

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!

Intuitively I chose E, but then crossed it out because the passage did not specifically state what is "good journalistic practice".

Chose B but then understood why it was wrong- I made an assumption about "interesting".

RC Tips

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!

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

Hello,

I am going to law school this fall. I applied with a 3.1 and a 154 lsat. Every school I applied to I was below their median gpa. I got into 3 schools where I was at their median lsat, waitlisted at one where I was at their median lsat and waitlisted at another where I was two points below their median lsat.

I retook the lsat and got a 157. I am now at four schools 75th percentile lsat and one point above a schools median lsat (156) but below their 75h percentile (158). I emailed the schools that waitlisted me after my new score and they said that they will send my application back to committee for another review with my new score.

Is it worth retaking the lsat considering I am at four of the schools 75th percentiles in terms of scholarship money or trying to get off of the waitlist?

Also I will be withdrawing from one school that accepted me, but I am in the process of trying to get the two schools that have accepted me to see if they can give me a new scholarship with my new score. One of the schools I got into had their seat deposit on April 1 but they offered to move my seat deposit back to the 8th while they see if they can give me more scholarship money.

Does anyone have experience with taking FLEX in a hotel or other area for reasons that their place is not quiet enough to take FLEX? (hotels, etc.)

I'm interesting in either forming or joining (preferably the latter) a study group for people who are both trying to get as high a score as possible and located in the Orange County, CA area. My target score is 175 and I've most recently tested in the 168-172 range. I'm planning on taking the Sept and Dec tests. I've been enrolled in the ultimate course for roughly 9 months and cancelled last December's test. Let me know if you are interested!

I applied to HYSCCN and was rejected 2 times a few years ago. Lsat 171.

My lsat is 5 years old and I find computer-based test much harder, so unsure I can beat it.

I wanted to change career to law from SW engineering, but the rejections were hard.

The opportunity cost of leaving SWE job was worth only for T6.

I'm wondering what other possible degree can provide similar level of intellectual energy as a JD.

Anyone in similar boat?

What did you do?

Hi

I am currently located at S. Korea. I have just finished the 7Sage CC. I am looking to go through the PowerScore series, Loophole and Trainer. I am looking for anyone to Zoom with me as we do these together. We do not necessarily have to study the same thing. I believe we can work flexibly and just study whatever we want to. Would anyone be down?

Hi all! Hope you're having all having a good day.

I was wondering if you could share your tips on getting better at RC. I used to have consistent -6 and started moving downwards to -10 and now scored -14 on PT 65. I was pretty confident with reading when I started LSAT but now I am a bit short on time and really concerned about getting more than half of the questions wrong.

I do timed PT then read all the passages again during BR to come up with a better LR, HR. And clearly it seems like it's not working and I'd greatly appreciate any help. :)

Hello 7 Sagers. I am a super splitter, who is banking on my essays to seal the deal. That being said, in order to write a strong Why essay for these schools, I would love to get in contact with any current students you all know from the following schools: Stanford, Harvard, UChicago, UC Berkley, UPenn, NYU, Columbia, Yale, Duke, UMich. Thank you in advance. #help

Hello all! I'm looking for a study buddy/accountability buddy. I wrote my first diagnostic test two years ago before I started work full time and never really looked at lsat until around April of this year. I've done a few more tests and am scoring around 161 but am aiming for 170+. I'm writing my LSAT in October and am located in Alberta!

Looking for people to study with, keeping each other accountable. My schedule is a bit more limited as I am still working full time (so evenings + weekends).

Please let me know if you'd be interested :)
