Are they better to send sooner or later? I plan on applying for fall 2021, and I am about half way thru my graduate program. I have a 3.94 GPA. I know graduate transcripts aren't really weighed much but would rather have them see this number than a lower one.

Suggestions??

Newer RC Struggle

Wanted to see if anyone had advice on tackling the "newer" RC. I used to average -3/4 for the section, but since I have been taking the more modern exams, I have been getting 7-9 wrong.

With ~2 weeks left till the exam, anyone have any advice they would recommend for adjusting to the harder RC?

Thank you!

I have a marijuana-related charge from when I was 15. It has since been expunged. I've noticed some applications let you know that if something has been expunged, you do not have to report it. Others say that regardless you must. If an application fails to address what to do if records have been sealed/expunged, what should I assume?

Hi all, does anyone here has insight into the UC Berkeley's BLOS in-person interview? What are some of the questions and what is the general feel of the interview? What advice would you give a BLOS finalist who is preparing for his/her interview?

Originally thought that the personal statement was generic and applied to every school... but recently I've seen a couple specific prompts from individual schools (e.g., CU Boulder). Do I assume the school accepts a school-agnostic letter unless otherwise specified?

Hello,

How did you guys translate question 9 in the quiz to lawgic? I read the sentence like this "without a will testifying the transferal (WTT), the state of California will auction the properties (AP)." /WTT --------> AP

I am bit confused about the translation in the lesson. The two ideas selected in the video are "will testifying transferal (WTT)" and "California has no choice (/CC) ." /WTT --------> /CC or CC --------------> WTT. If I were to approach this question mechanically, this makes sense. But what is the sentence actually saying? The confusing bit for me is what the CC here means when you take the contrapositive (California has choice---- to do what?).

Any thoughts? Thanks

Hello All,

My name is Manny, I'm recently reinvesting my time into studying for the LSAT as I had put it off for sometime. I'm looking for a study buddy or even a group of study buddies to help keep us all accountable for our LSAT practice. My idea was to have a set time that we could either go over materials together or blind review practice exams together. I'm not entirely sure, I've always studied solo before, but I feel like having someone else go through this LSAT material with me could be beneficial for us both and keep us motivated to do better and study harder.

I was looking for someone local to me or at the bare minimum in my Timezone (U.S. East) but because Covid pushed everything online it actually works out better that we focus on meeting online. So provided we can agree on a set time to link up it'll be golden and everyone is welcome.

Speaking of schedules I work full time but my weekends are clear and my schedule is somewhat flexible given that I work from home.

My goal is to take the test again in the second half of 2021 although I am taking the April test just as a "lets-see". I hope to hear from you guys! If you're interested reply here or shoot me an email. ERamos0321@icloud.com

Peace, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year. Let's all get into Law School next cycle!

I have a rough draft of a PS and need some detailed feedback as I go into a second draft. If you're interested in swapping, ideally with a quick (24 hours or less) turnaround, please pm me !

Hi, sagers. When I took the digital LSAT in July, we weren't given stylus pens, so I wrote a note to LSAC and they agreed to send their own note to any school I apply to saying the test center made a mistake, and I felt good about that because I did end up canceling my score. But yesterday, we started 2 hours after the ticket time (how much is reasonable to expect? 2 hours seems excessive and it did make me a ton more anxious) and then had a false start: The director said, "OK, we will now begin the tutorial. Please press start." We pressed start and the real test began! So we lost about 30 seconds because people were yelling, "Wait, this is the real test! Stop it! Start it over!" and whatnot. There was also an incessant squeaking/beeping noise in the room near my desk, which I mentioned to administrators, but they couldn't figure out what was causing it. So at the end, one of the administrators told me that they will be sending a note to LSAC about the delay and the false start. He also told said they'd send another note that I specifically was distracted by a noise they couldn't stop. My question is, do I follow that up with another complaint e-mail to LSAC today or do I just leave it alone? I wouldn't want admissions people to think I'm a "problem test taker" or a complainer! But I do think there's a discrepancy between the test experience I've anticipated and paid money for and the actual experience I've had. Thank you for reading and pretty please advise if you have an informed opinion on this! #help

Hello, am I looking to weaken and strengthen the conclusion in my answer choice. Should I select an answer that could work both ways? Or find the answer that does either or? Thank you

I am looking for a group of individuals who would like to work together during the blind review process. I attend Fordham University and I can get us a small study room with a white board and everything else that is needed. Looking for a dedicated and serious bunch of people who are ready to kill the LSAT together!

What are some of the things yall are doing to research for a Why X essay? I am assuming they know everything on their website. I've been on interview panels where we've asked this question and always thought it was silly, why do you want to work here?.. They want to work here because we have an opening and they need a job... Anyway, Why X ideas?

I had a first LSAT absence 4 years ago, which appears on the LSAC record. Back then, I decided to pursue a different career path, thinking I won't ever take LSAT and go to law school. But as I'm studying and preparing for law school again now, I was wondering if I do not show up for the registered October test, will total of two absences appearing on the record hurt my chance of admission when I actually apply?

I saw several discussions online saying it won't matter much, but those comments were written 3~4 years ago, so I wanted to know if such is still the case. Thank you!

Hi my name is Mark, I'm the father of a cute 1 year old, married and I work full time in the Army. I'm asking for something really unlikely but hey it's worth a shot :) I'm looking for a tutor who can help me for free via the messaging system here on 7S or communicate through non-live chat, mainly due to my constantly changing military and family obligations. I'm PT'ing at about 160, BR'ing in the low 170's and I have an intense drive to hit that 170!! :D I wake up early to study before work, study over lunch, and I hit the library after work if my wife has a handle on the crazy 1 year old. I really want to go to Stanford or Harvard and I know I can do it!!! I just need a little help to get there.

I'm taking the November LSAT but I plan on taking at least 2 more LSATs next spring and summer.

Currently I need the most help with descriptive weakening, necessary assumption, parallel flawed method of reasoning, and most strongly supported. I totally suck at LG but I'm working through foolproofing and my RC is usually -7.

Any tips / help is much appreciated and if someone is willing to help out or give tutoring a shot, I'd absolutely appreciate it. Thanks :)

Mark

Hi. My name is Juan and I'm starting this new discussion in hopes of connecting with others that suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder and are taking the LSAT with accommodations. If there is anyone in the community that would like to share their experiences, tips or support on how to succeed on the LSAT while having this disorder, I and I'm sure many other will appreciate it. Thanks!

Juan
