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?

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

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.

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 :)

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!

Prompt: "If there is any information you would like to bring to the Committee's attention that has not been covered in the application or your personal essay, you are welcome to do so by attaching a separate statement. You can include information about your family background, reasons for a weak semester in college, or any other information that you feel should be considered when your application is reviewed."

I understand the first portions of of the prompt for diversity, background, and academic record but if I have done other additional essays, in my case adversities and achievements in my elected office bid, should I include it or not? For context my personal statement talks about my career and my motivations for going to law school, but doesn't address adversity or achievement within the campaign itself.

Hey, I PT in the mid 170s (sometimes low 170s) and was looking for someone to BR with once or twice a month. If you are looking for someone to BR with and are scoring in the mid 170s comment here. I would love to have someone to bounce ideas off of.

Is it possible to take the LSAT writing after you've taken your test, or do I have to take the lsat writing in order to take the test? I know I have to take it in order to see my score, but was wondering if there was an open window when I could take it. Thanks!

For the flex, do we have to take the test with a desk against a wall or is a kitchen table/table in an open room okay? I tried calling LSAC but the phone lines ran busy so I was wondering if anyone had any info. Thank you!

Has anyone taking Blueprint's Live Online Course? How does it compare to 7Sage? Is it worth it?

I know for most logic games we should chain conditionals, but JY did not chain conditionals together on the CD game. Does this mean that there are times when we should not chain conditionals? Thanks.

Offering one free LG Tutoring session. DM if interested!

I am doing some of the recent PTs and find myself struggle with the relationship among ideal experiment, control groups and causation. (eg: May2020 LR Q11, Q14). I know that ideal experiment could produce a casual outcome, but I still tend to make mistakes on questions testing the ideas of having control groups or of similar concepts. Are there any recommended material that I could read to better understand those concepts on the LSAT?

Many thanks!

Hi everyone! I am looking for people interested in studying together/holding each other accountable, etc. specifically for the 2021 Summer LSAT dates. My goal is 165+. Here is the link for a group me I created if you are interested!

Does anyone else who was granted a retake for the January FLEX know when the scores will be released?

Has anyone had stop clock breaks? Is there a limit?

Hello,

I am in the foundations section and new to studying for the LSAT and I was wondering whether it is important to have indicators memorized. For example, indicators for concessions (context), premise indicators, conclusion indicators, and etc. Thanks :).

Hi guys, does anyone know If I should do day to day plan that I set up, or I should keep going? Honestly lessons are short, and I want to practice regarding what I have learned, but I get stuck in LSAT questions?

Anyone here that is into modern board games have any that would help with LGs? TY!

I am currently going through the core curriculum but I was wondering should I be taking PT's while going through the curriculum or wait until I finish it?

Is there a method for identifying the ASQ in each Logic Game question set?
