If you've taken the sample on LawHub, how did LG go? I found games 3 and 4 were a bit difficult -- were there any splits/SBGs that I may have missed or did you just plow through using rules? Any recommendations on games similar to game 3?

I struggled to get this game down and was wondering if some of you have encountered similar games in the past which might help me hone in on general skills.

Hi Guys, I postponed my test to Jan. Would like to find some study partners to join for some LSAT LR hard questions and detailed reading for hard RC passages.

Drilled all the 1-35, just started to drill 36 above. Please let me know if your pace is similar to me.

Aim for 168 in Jan. Now is at late 155-160.

Hi guys,

I am currently prepping for 2021 April LSAT and it has been so hard since I work full-time in advisory. I have finished all the LSAT prep courses and are doing prep tests now. Looking for someone to meet once a week via zoom/in-person ( I am currently in California and will be back to nyc in December) to go over prep tests and keep each other accountable.

Thanks!

Best,

Sherry

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.

Im torn....the last couple weeks for me have been really rough with covid and family situations. My PTs have been ranging from 152-159. I already have an LSAt score under my belt of a 153. I really need a 161 for my top choice school. Would it be horrible to wait until January? Ive already paid for November but I don't mind loosing the money. I am trying to apply this cycle. tia

Hi all, I just had one quick question. On LSAC it asks for a title for each of your recommenders. My recommenders both have JD's and MBA's, should I include this? Ex. Should I put "Instructor of Business Law, JD, MBA" or just "Instructor of Business Ethics" ?

I'm having a hard time understanding how the explanations for the right/wrong answers on these weakening questions don't contradict one another.

PT 86 S1 Q14

PT29 S1 Q16

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-29-section-1-question-16/

In Q14, JY says (C) is incorrect because we don't know whether bats are included in the "most." Whether or not they are included establishes the relevance of this "most" claim -- you have to be included in the "most" otherwise we don't care. With this in mind, I initially eliminated answer (B) while doing Q16. But JY says (B) is the correct answer for Q16 because since some languages lack words for parts of their environment, it isn't surprising that Proto-Indo-European have no word for "sea." They could have still lived by the sea, making the premise less relevant. I'm confused for two reasons. First, we don't know if the Proto-Indo-European speakers are included in the "some," if they aren't included in this group then this claim becomes irrelevant. Second, the reason (B) is correct on Q16 seems in-line with the thought process I used when incorrectly picking (C) for Q14: if most animals normally rarely bite, then it isn't surprising that bats rarely bite. Rabid bats could still bite, making this premise less relevant. I can see why (B) is the best answer for Q16, but now I'm confused about why (C) is wrong for Q14. What am I missing?

Hello,

I am currently looking for a tutor for my January LSAT. I had one for the October LSAT, who was great. I just want to try out new tutoring styles to see if one will click. I reached out a few from the list of tutors on 7sage, but only one responded, leading me to believe not all are currently active. If you have any suggestions of a good tutor (esp for an ESL student scoring in the 150’s), please comment below!

Thank you in advance!

Hi there -- does anyone know how long it typically takes to get off the waitlist for a one time edit?

I am in the final review stages (hopefully) after many rewrites. I really want to start submitting apps, but I am nervous to without having someone outside of my friends and family take a look at my PS.

Thanks!

Would you happen to know that if I have a hold on my account from a school that I didn't receive any credit from - can I just report that on the LSAC website that I have a financial obligation ?

This happened to me a lot so I have to ask for some advice. I start doing a PT (especially I am talking about an LG section) where I kinda freeze at a certain game which I know is something I can handle. I stop the section and restart again and the second time it goes flawlessly. How can I fix this? This especially happens during an LG. I don't look for an explanation or anything I just gather myself and it goes great afterwards.

Has anyone written the proctor u lsat with accommodations? I'm wondering how it works.

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!

Hi, I have both an internal webcam and an external webcam, but I was wondering if it is permissible to use the internal webcam on a laptop. I know I have to do a quick survey of the room with the webcam, which is possible by simply moving the laptop around, but if I had to provide a view of my keyboard, I would not be able to do so with the internal webcam.

During flex, are we ever required to get a view of the keyboard (perhaps dependent on the proctor), or would a internal webcam be sufficient for all my rooming surveying needs?

Hey all,

Is there a good way to get better at the questions involving finding the main point of the passage(s) and understanding/analyzing the purpose of a phrase in context? Also, parsing out the attitude of the author. I'm not doing well with these and unfortunately, they are the kinds of questions that are included in most passage sections without fail. SOS

Hi everyone ! I already applied to law schools for this cycle and I have some free time today. If anyone wants me to edit their essays please message me. I would be happy to edit a few personal statements. My limit will be 4 so message ASAP if you want me to review for content, grammar, feedback etc. This is totally free by the way.

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.

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.

Anyone from Ann Arbor/Metro Detroit?

So I wanted to know if anyone has applied through a website based application like Wash U's before. I was recently invited to interview when I apply. I am interested in Wash U's program and responded that I would like to interview but I am still waiting on my CAS fee waiver to come through. They sent me the link to their website based application and asked me to apply there. I am currently still working on my PS and DS as well as waiting on LoR's. I am a super-splitter so they, along with my resume and grad school records will be very important. The website based application however does not ask for any essays except a Why Wash U essay. Has anyone used their site based app before? Do they later e-mail you and ask for the additional materials? My inclination would be that they would expect me to send them on pretty quickly and rather than allowing me to make a good impression in the interview while I prepare the rest of the materials they might A: want to know where those materials were and why they were not ready yet or B: go ahead and process the application without them. Both of those would not be ideal for my situation.

Does anyone have experience with this want to chime in? When did they ask for the additional materials? Was there a timeline to complete the application? I am inclined to email them directly but I need to be very careful not to sound either unprepared in the email or like I am putting them off for later because I am not actually that interested.

Just finished the November lsat flex.

I got LR-RC-LG. LR was very easy and it’s probably like something in the 60s. RC was just brutal, and I feel it’s even harder than the October’s RC. LG was always my best section (average about -0 or -1), but this time I just feel really bad. I don’t know if it’s because LG was the lsat section or what, but I just could not make any useful inferences at all.

I got 161 in the October test and I’m wondering if I should cancel this test or not.

should I just use the 161 to apply my safe schools and retake in January?

Hi all,

I would appreciate any advice on canceling a score vs postponing the LSAT.

Here's my situation - I took the LSAT for the first time in August. A mix of test day anxiety and technical issues (having my test closed out for me) resulted in a score much lower than my practice tests. I feel ready/prepared for the November LSAT. However I have been pretty sick these past few weeks and this week I still feel a bit dizzy/head foggy. It seems to affect my performance by about 2-4 points. I'm worried though that realizing I'm not in my best mental state x test day anxiety will result in a worse performance, or perhaps I can power through -- obviously, no one can answer that for me. My plan as of now is to just take the test tomorrow and if I can tell immediately after that my performance was affected by not feeling well, I'll cancel it and then take in Jan. OR I could just postpone and take it in Jan.

My question is how does a score cancelation look on your record? How might this compare to the downsides of taking the LSAT in Jan, when I'll be writing applications to schools that I'm not even positive my scores will make me competitive for? Any advice would be so appreciated especially since this is so so last second.

Thank you!!!

Are you allowed to have a blue and black pen, or do the pens have to be the same color ??

Hey guys, was wondering if anybody had experienced an issue similar to the one my buddy is experiencing right now.

“When I went to test my equipment for the exam tomorrow, everything tested well except for the “monitor width.” I contacted customer support and they told me they haven’t experienced anything like this before and if I want it to get resolved, to call back an hour before the exam tomorrow.”

Has anyone dealt with an issue similar, or have any advice for him?
