I have noticed that after my blind review of drilling Qs, timed sections, and full practice tests, the vast majority of questions I get wrong under timed conditions I get correct during my blind review (usually -4 or -5 to -1 during blind review). I am curious what aspects beyond time related factors are worth reviewing or examining in my wrong answer journalling of these questions, as when I do not have time constraints I confidently understand content of the questions and can determine the correct answer.

Hi,

I'm really not sure what to do about this but I had some disciplinary hearings at my university because of Palestine organizing on campus. I was let off with warnings for both hearings and both times they were really unfair hearings but I'm not sure if I should explain that it was unfair. Should I be detailed about this on my application because I feel it may show dissent against school admin? If anyone has insight or experience please let me.

Hi community,

Two of us are planning to meet via Zoom this evening to start BR-ing PT 79. Looking for joiners. If you want to join, here is the link to a GroupMe group where I will post the Zoom link closer to the target time (9:30 PM EST):

https://groupme.com/join_group/59756531/VhuncmF5

If you don't have GroupMe, DM me here and I will send you the link that way. Maybe we will do more PTs after 79.

Happy studying!

Hi all,

My name is Athena and I am seeking a study buddy, I'm planning to take the June LSAT , however based on my progress I might reschedule for an earlier test date. Preferably someone who is a sherpa or who knows about this.

Hi everyone,

I'm averaging around the 170 mark, and I'm looking for some ideas and variations for my drills. How many questions should I include in one drill? If I'm missing mostly the harder LR questions, should I do, say, repeated drills of 5 questions on "hard" mode (I personally found this to be kind of underwhelming, which is why I'm questioning if it's a good method.)?

I would also love to hear any drill-setups that others have found useful – things like the doing the first 15 questions of an LR section in 15 minutes, or targeting specific question-types. Any help would be really appreciated!

I just got an email after taking the FLEX on Nov. 11th saying my writing sample was cancelled because my government I.D. was not clear enough and now I have to take the sample again. Is there any way to contest this so that I do not have to wait extra time to view my score. I wanted to apply to schools if my score was within my desired range and if it was not then I would study and take the January test, but if this processing takes additional time it sort of screws me over. Thanks everyone!

Hi all,

I received another letter of recommendation on LSAC after I had already submitted my report with LSAC. I want to include this letter, but am unsure if LSAC will send it after the report was already sent. Does anyone know if LSAC will send the new letter to the schools I have already applied to? I have not received a decision from any of the schools as of yet.

Hi all!

I am currently scoring in the high 150s - low 160s with a pretty solid understanding of the curriculum.

What I find really helpful in learning is by teaching others. This forces me to verbalize my thought process and consider questions that I may not have thought of. With that said, I would like to offer my explanations/insights to anyone that have specific questions or just want a new set of eyes in general.

If you are interested, please message me 1 or 2 specific questions you need help on. We can then try to arrange some time to jump on Discord where I will attempt to explain it to you and you are free to ask any questions.

Note - this is by no means any form of tutoring, but I think we can both benefit from it. If there's anything I can't answer, we can try to figure it out together.

Hi all,

There's a lot of study groups out there for people in different parts of the U.S. and beyond that that are studying for the November LSAT.

Does anyone want to join me in creating a Pacific Time study group? Maybe people that can already meet at similar times so we're not spending too much time figuring out dates/times and can just get to material?

I am available almost all Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays between 2pm and 7pm Pacific Time. Let me know if anyone is available during those times and we can make a study group via GroupMe! We can start next week!

Let me know!

Please click the link and comment if you plan on participating.

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76 and PM your email for Google Hangout.
  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.
  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.
  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it."
  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).
  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    Say I retake the LSAT writing for November flex, with an approved writing sample already on file from a previous exam -- if, by the time November flex scores are released, submission for the retaken LSAT writing is still pending, could that affect my score release?

    I'm told that as long as I have an approved writing sample from the past year I will be able to view subsequent scores without delay, but I was wondering if having a pending writing sample in addition to an approved writing sample could potentially impede that process.

    Thank you!

    Is there any way we can reset the drill questions we have completed in the past but still save our completed prep tests? I want to redo questions ive done a long time ago since I dont have too many fresh prep tests left but the only way I can do this is if I reset my completed prep tests too and I dont want to do that. If this isnt possible, can an option be implemented to allow for this.

    I am in a strange situation. I have a decent GPA and LSAT score, but I am only applying to in-state schools, all which happen to be pretty competitive. So, my GPA is a 3.77 and my LSAT is a 156. Here are the stats for the school I am applying to:

    Median GPA 3.87 (25th and 75th percentile between 3.70 and 3.95) And Median LSAT 165 (25th and 75th percentile between 161 and 167)

    I applied last year with roughly the same scores, slightly lower GPA and an LSAT of 155, and I was waitlisted and eventually not admitted. I had a really strong personal statement and resume, which I think helped compensate for my scores. Anyways, reapplying this year with my 156 (which came out today, super bummer on this.)

    Anyways, all to say, should I write an addendum for my 156? I think my reasoning would just be lack of resources to low-income students and within my specific university. For some background, I aged out of foster care and have been funding my legal journey on my own. I also own my own home (I am 23 years old), which is super expensive and the reason I cannot devote more money to LSAT resources or applying to out of state schools.

    What now? Addendum? Not apply this year at all and start studying for next year? Desperately in need of advice. Thank you all! And I hope the best for all of you in your legal journeys!

    Hi, so I have a Wrong Answer Journal and I now have around 162 questions that I have jotted down for LR

    I’m wondering how I can go about efficiently redoing these questions being that there is soo many other questions I have not done yet that I may even get wrong after a PT.

    I'm just overwhelmed with trying to redo them and getting them right the next go around. And the more drills and PT I do the more I add creating a backlog. Any tips?
