Hey everyone, I was wondering how often the LSAT does weird misc games, like the subway line one on prep test 18. I'm trying to budget the remaining time I have before the August LSAT and I want to know how much priority I should give them. Are they common on the newer LSATS?

Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how the LSAT-flex will be scored? If it’s on the same scale as the regular LSAT does that mean we can miss about 8 questions and still get a 170? Thank you!

Hi everyone, thanks for clicking in this post.

I will take the LSAT in Jan (and it will be my first and only LSAT score) but some schools' application deadline is Feb 1st. I'm a little bit worried if I should force myself to have a try on Nov LSAT (I have already registered it but feel not very confident, consider to cancel it)

I wondered will I be able to submit the application without LSAT score?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm really struggling with author's inference questions in RC. Does anyone remember if a specific lesson covered this? Or if anyone has a helpful approach, I would be so grateful :)

I struggle with performance when taking timed PTs. Untimed, I rarely miss any questions. However, under the pressure of time, I'm only getting halfway through each section, likely due to nerves impacting my confidence and my process (taking way too long reading/eliminating etc.).

My question is, in order to get the best use of analytics, should I be cutting myself off when the time ends (despite having so much of the section undone)? Or should I just finish it at my own pace and take that as my score?

A side note: I use benchmarks to track my time and I know logically that I have to move fast and skip hard questions. I've also completed every page of the LSAT Trainer, so I feel reasonably prepared for testing. Still, I get so anxious that I can't really "sense" the hard questions from the easy ones and I either: (1) Skip so many that I feel freaked out by the amount I'm not doing which kills my performance or (2) to avoid the previous scenario, I just don't skip any.

I'm wondering if cutting myself off when time is up, although it sucks and it is super stressful, might help me overall improve my instincts for questions to skip and improve my ability to manage my pace overall. Does anyone know if this is the best approach to fixing it? Any other ideas are also GREATLY appreciated.

Hi guys,

just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me (waiting for the Feb 2021 results) even though scores should have been released on March 10th.

I had to redo my writing portion due to a "security issue" which was submitted on March 9th. As of now, it says result pending.

Hello! I been studying for LSAT for a month and a half and I have just finished PT 1-20. My scores are about 170. I’ve heard that PT 50 + are considerably harder, and PT 80+ are even more challenging. I wish to ask how your scores in PT 1-20 compare to those in 50+ and 80+, and compare to your real test score. I’m planning on taking the test in Jan. and want to get an idea of where I’m at. Thank you!

Hey 0Ls, 1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls, and Law School Grads:

After about a month or two of digesting the January LSAT and getting accepted into my top choice for September, 2021. The thought of law school and becoming a lawyer is daunting and worrisome. After some thought and reading posts like: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/23446/a-discussion-to-begin-a-debate-my-position-on-0l-prep, I am definitely going to prepare for 1L.

Here are some questions I hope you can help me with:

Is it beneficial to continue studying using LSAT prep materials like 7Sage?

What are Canadian equivalents to Hornbooks and Examples and Explanations?

Any other general tips, guides, studying that one should do before law school?

Please do not say something like "relax and enjoy the summer", as I am dead set on studying for 1L. Just asking for people's opinion on what the best plan of attack for 1L is.

For those of you who participated in the LSAC October forum, did you have your 'why school X' essays with you when you communicated with the schools? (I'm planning on having my PS and notes about what has drawn me to each of the schools versus a drawn-out 'why X' essay. Especially in the event that I decide not to apply to a school!! (Or DO decide to apply to a school) Was it more us talking to them v. them questioning US about what interests us about their program(s)? I'm hoping this forum will allow me to better fine-tune my 'why them' essay with specifics compared to info from their websites. :) Thanks in advance.

I was an idiot and didn't purchase score preview initially, so now I need to go back and do it, but can't find it anywhere on the lsac website. Could someone who has already done it let me know how? I'm trying to avoid calling LSAC because I know they'll put me on hold forever. Thanks!

I uploaded the Word doc version of my résumé to an application, and it seems to have caused a formatting error. The year portion of a date that was aligned to the right has been pushed onto it's own line to the left. It doesn't show up like this when I open it in Word. In my opinion it's pretty noticeable since it causes a two things to be out of place, though I somehow missed it when I previewed the application. I'm nervous because this is a top school where I'm a borderline case, and I feel any little thing could make a difference.

Should I upload a correct PDF version to their status checker and email them about it? I'm conflicted because I don't want to appear careless by leaving it, but I don't want to draw too much attention to it or seem obsessive either. Any advice would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any tips on studying LR? It’s the section I struggle the most on and I’m not sure if I’m studying right or what but I haven’t seen much improvement in weeks. All suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

Hey all!

My name is Rez and I'm looking for a study buddy for the June 2021 exam. I've been studying for a few months and finally seeing progress (BR 165 on the May Flex exam taken last week). My strengths include RC and LG and I'd like to improve more on LR.

I have a flexible schedule and I'd love to host a blind review session with you. If interested, please email me at: rezwan.haq@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Rez

I need help with trying to answer the questions that ask something along the lines of "Which of following could substitute the condition (insert rule here)"? I don't know how to approach these at all.

Example: PT M20.S2.Q11

Just curious to know how the recent USSC decision on affirmative action will affect admission chances. For instance, would this be put into play for this admission cycle? Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I am still in the beginning stages of studying for the LSAT and am looking for a study buddy (or group) to bounce questions off of, as well as do Blind Review with. I am aiming for the February LSAT, but if I feel like I'm not ready, I will be testing in April instead. As of now, my strongest section is Logical Reasoning, and my weakest section is Reading Comprehension. Most recent PT was 156, (BR - 159). I'm aiming to do the best I possibly can!

If anyone is interested, please pm me.

Good luck to everyone!

Mo

Am I the only one who would totally pay for this? LG has always been my favorite section because I love logic puzzles (even on the days they don't love me.) And since LSAC is looking to change this section of the test, I would like these puzzles to do in my spare time. Especially since if I manage to get my goal score on the first try, I may never get to see some of the infamous games I haven't had a chance to try yet.

Hi all,

I’m looking for a study buddy who’s really solid with RC — I used to average max -3 on RC with older tests but am now doing worse than before — now I sometimes get -7. I am currently averaging anywhere from 168-173. If anyone would benefit from explaining how they arrive at certain answers/compare PTs — DM me! Would love to meet via Zoom couple of times throughout the week until the Nov flex.

hello everyone,

in a past life, I took the GRE because I was convinced I wanted to get a PhD in Political Science. After many professors telling me not to do this and instead go JD-MPP, I've been on the law school path. Today, I got an email from Georgetown's Admissions Director "I invite you to apply for Fall 2021 admission with your GRE score. Although this invitation does not waive your application fee or guarantee admission, we feel that your academic talent and background would make a positive contribution to the intellectual community at the Law Center."

What does this mean? Don't want to get my hopes up. My LSAT score has been consistently around 166 on practice tests, so I thought G'Town would be a reach.

Hi,

I was hoping that someone might be interested in reviewing my personal statement and giving me feedback.

I'm a bit confused at this point and need some direction. I've had it reviewed a few times and don't know when to stop editing it. I think that I'll always find faults in it so I'd love some feedback to identify what actually needs to be improved.

Has anyone taken 7sage Law school prep courses, I am wondering if anyone has found it beneficial. I can't find reviews on it.

Hello All

I am graduating in April with a 3.8 GPA & I am writing for the Test in January 16 for the first time . I will be studying to target score over 166 and I am looking for someone who wants to succeed at the LSAT togather .

If you are interested in, I would love to chat and see if our approaches to the exam are compatible. Please message me directly. I only want people who are serious.

Thank you

Best Regards ,

Raffi

Does anyone know if we can take the Flex with the color inverted on our laptops? This is where the background is black and the words are white.

Did any Flex takers try this?

I just thought of this today and wanted to know if it would be an issue, the place I have been practicing for the LSAT in and where I plan to take it from is an upstairs room that doubles as a storage place for all my parents useless things that they don't want to throw out but do not need currently. Examples are scrap books, non perishable food, suitcases, pictures and some more things like that. The room is big and in the center I have my big desk I have been working at, nothing around me is of any academic value but will I be required to move things out of the room?
