Is the scaled scoring for flex style practice tests accurate? I'm finding discrepancies between my tests but can't tell whether they are due to different scales for different PTs or a problem with the scoring algorithm when using the Flex option. I'm trying to get an accurate idea of what my score might be!

Hi! I currently PT in the mid to high 160's and I am signed up for the October LSAT. It would be cool if there was anyone who was also interested in finding a study buddy for this October LSAT where we can keep each other accountable and occasionally go through tough LSAT sections together or even just keep each other motivated throughout this month. Please lmk if you are interested, I'd love to have a study buddy :)

Hi all, at this point I've submitted all my JD applications for entry into the class of 2024, but I just got (very delayed) feedback on my resume from a former supervisor. The comments were valuable and, when applied, I think do make my resume a bit stronger. Would you recommend that I email law schools this updated/revised resume? Or is there a chance that could reflect poorly on me?

The advice my supervisor gave me was to take out an academic experience and replace it with a professional experience (an investment banking internship at a prestigious firm) that I had originally left out. He also suggested some language and tweaks that buffed up my leadership roles a bit. So it's not fixing mistakes or updating it with new, more recent info. Rather, the edits highlight different experiences from my past that I previously left out. I would love for schools to see this new version, but obviously do not want to appear like I did not properly review my materials the first time around.

no longer needed.

I took the July LSAT and am looking to do the writing section, however when I go to the LSAT Writing section there is not a link to launch for the July LSAT that I took. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hello all,

I felt pretty good about my LSAT writing. However when I got it back, I noticed two typos in the second to last paragraph (a missing "the" and a missing "an"). Is this enough of an issue that I should retake it? I definitely don't mind re-taking it, if this is something to be concerned about. I'm re-taking the LSAT anyways so I expect if I let them know, then I could apply to re-submit a writing exam.

Hi I scored a 144 on the July LSAT flex with little to no studying. I'm scheduled to take the October LSAT and my goal score is a 155. If anybody is willing to either join me in a study group or be my tutor it'd be greatly appreciate! Willing to pay! Please get back to me, I need as much help as possible!

Does anyone have a strategy for the LSAT flex? I was just going to skip one of the LR sections when taking the test. Then go back and do it after I finish the test. Does anyone know if 7Sage is working on a flex option?

I'm planning to take the August flex and will probably also sign up for a later date then apply in October/November for next year's cycle. Would love to have a groupchat to motivate each other!

I already registered for October. But since this won’t count to the yearly limit and we can cancel our score, should I just try it? It can help me with experiencing the Flex first hand and i might even get a decent score. What do you guys think?

I have an absent and a 159 on file.

Took the August 2023 LSAT, just got a 157 and cancelled it.

I currently have the September LSAT scheduled, and I will be taking the October one too.

However, if I score worse than 159 in September, I would have to cancel it again. My file would look like absent-159-cancel-cancel

Should I take the September LSAT or should I reschedule it to October?

I believe I have until 31st 11:59pm ET to both reschedule to October and to register for October. Am I correct?

Thank you all so much.

Hey guys, I am debating whether I should write a diversity statement or not. I am already writing about a socio-economic challenge that I overcame in my socio-economic addendum and I don’t really have a topic to write for my diversity statement aside from the fact that my family was dirt poor but we still moved around the world in search of a better place to live and so I got to live in different cultures and learned to adapt. Is that a good enough topic? Because I don’t see how that could contribute to the classroom disscussions. Maybe I just don’t know enough of what they want

Senior year of high school I took classes through a local community college for high school and college credit. Should I include this on my resume? The transcript is included in my academic summary report and it was only 18 credit hours. Also, not sure if this has an impact but after this I transferred to another community college to get my AA before transferring for my BA and I've included both of these institutions. Is a third too much? Thanks!

I am looking for a virtual study partner/group for the August test. This is my first time, and have been studying since May. I have become easily distracted/unmotivated through quarantine but am ready to crack down, lol. Need some accountability

Hi everyone,

I live in the Chicago area, and I'm studying heavily for the December 2017 LSAT. I'm looking for someone who is scoring in the low 160's right now so that we can both learn together. I'd prefer someone who actually lives in the Chicago area so that we could ostensibly meet up once in a while, but I'm also fine with skype/google hangout/facebook/whatever.

As another poster put it, I'm "gunning for a 180," and I'd really love to collaborate with someone who is similarly motivated.

Do the law school essays change from year to year usually? I am not applying this cycle but trying to plan when to leave my job. Will I not be able to start writing my supplemental essays until September most likely? Or will this year likely serve as a good base?

Hi! Does anyone know how much it matters that I put down that I strongly prefer remote testing but could go in person? After reading more about remote vs in-person, I now strongly prefer in person, but I can't tell how to notify LSAC...

Thank you!

I have only taken a few PTs. I only have two weeks before my LSAT (I know, I am cramming and it is not ideal at all). Should I take the newest PTs then BR them? I would assume that it won't do me much good to take the oldest ones?

Realistically, I will probably only be able to get through 3-5 PTs between now and then.

Just when I thought I was out for the logic games, J.Y pulled me back in! his explanations are so addictive. Having a masters in pure mathematics is even worst because I like this stuff.

Hey y'all! Graduated in 2017, currently working full-time in government, and looking for some study buddies to get together on Zoom about once a week or so.

Comment below or reach out to me if you're interested in joining!

Some goals I have for studying together are:

A couple of quick questions if you're interested in joining the study group (my answers below too!):

My responses:

I'm looking for people who want to get on Zoom once a week or so. I'd prefer to study with people who don't take themselves too seriously and aren't just studying all day, every day — as someone who is working full-time through the pandemic, I would also like to study with other people who are balancing other priorities as well

I'm starting this week and aiming to take 1-2 PTs /wk. Will also budget in about ~10-15 hours / wk for review & going through 7Sage prep course material / PowerScore bibles

See #2. Also did Blueprint in-person about 1 1/2 years ago

REALLY into long walks lately and not really sure why but here we are :)

Hi. Its been over a year since I first went through the LR part of the 7Sage Curriculum and I have taken time away from studying in the interim. I am going to take the LSAT again to try to up my score, as I've taken a few PTs recently and scored 2-5 points higher than I used to score, consistently - trying to get every last scholarship dollar available.

I've spent most of my time since resuming studying working on LGs, but recently as I've started to work on grouping and in/out LGs, I've realized that I need some help going back over translating words into logic language, especially when dealing with negations, negative, or double negatives. Could someone point me to where in the 7Sage Curiculum I could get a quick crash course on logic translations for "or", "not both", and just basic logic translations to get me back on track as quickly as possible. I'm hoping to get back on track rather quickly and knock this (hopefully) final attempt of the LSAT out of the park.

Hello,

I was wondering what the 8 digit HTML keycode is on the ProctorU system checkup? Is that the same thing as the LSAC account number?

Thank you very much.

Hey, hope this is the right place for this to go. I had a search of the forum and didn't see this question discussed before, so thought I'd throw out my 2 cents.

Doing some drills before this week's test I noticed a much faster way of getting to the right answer choice on Question 1 of Game 1 in this PT, compared to the video explanation. In the video JY skips Q1 because by the end of G1 you have more points of reference with which to brute force it. But I think it's perfectly do-able with just the rules, and I think it's a fast inference.

I set the game up the same as JY, except instead of representing his rule 1 with two crossed out and stacked boxes of BB (boy, boy) and GG (girl, girl), I just used the notation 1+ ---> BG. I think this notation helped me more quickly spot the inference I'm about to explain here.

So from the initial setup and from the first indented prompt we know that the game is going to have 3 lockers with one person in, and 2 lockers with two people in.

Combine this rule with JY's (or my) rule 1 and we then know that there is going to be two lockers with BG in there.

For the next two rules (rules 2 and 3) I used the exact same notation as JY.

As JY explains, from rule 2 and 3 we know J will have to share with N or T, since R must be alone. This allows for a further, vey simple inference which I didn't see JY make with respect to Q1.

We know we have two shared lockers with 1B and 1G in there, and we know that one of those two shared lockers is J and N/T. Since we know that the other shared locker has to have 1B and 1G in it, we then know that the other shared locker is going to have a girl in it. But there's only three girls. And one of them is going with J, and the other is always on her own (R). So the girl that goes in the other shared locker is just the one left over from our choice in the J, N/T locker. (T/N)

Thus, just from this basic inference from the setup and rules 2 and 3 we know at the very least that in the two shared lockers we will have J and N/T and, in the other, T/N. This allows us to completely solve question 1.

All we need to do is look for an answer choice that has J, N and T in it. Since only one answer choice has all these three in it, we know E is right straight away. If there was another answer choice that was, say, J N T and F, then we would have to check to see if F needs to share. But luckily there isn't, so you can answer it right away.

Hope this makes sense!

I took my first LSAT last September, got a decent score for me, and applied to several schools. I got some nice scholarship offers, but I ultimately decided to hold off due to financial concerns. I'm retaking the LSAT this November and planning to take another shot at applying this December (some of the same schools as last year, some new ones). I've heard a lot of people recommend at least updating the old PS. However, I'm considering a topic that is totally different from last year's.

In my first PS, I wrote about the area of law I wanted to go into and my passion for that industry. Since then, I've been pondering a childhood hardship that I genuinely think has shaped me as a person and could make a pretty compelling story that directly ties into my desire to go into law.

But would it be a bad idea to apply to the same schools as last year with this completely different PS? I made no mention of the hardship in my first PS, and it's not like this was an experience that happened since my applications last year. I'm not quite sure why I didn't write about it in the first place. It's possible I didn't fully see how it would make sense as a personal statement, or it just felt strange to write about.

I haven't used this discussion tab much before... If I left out important details, please let me know. Thanks so much to anyone that takes the time to read this!
