Ahh, ok- so some popcorn takes longer than 3 minutes, I get it now. I think?

Hi, I want to make an actual, active study group. The link is the following: https://groupme.com/join_group/88566845/16xEXYG3

Just copy it. You will have to answer a question of your ideal score to join (this is to deter bots/people who just want to advertise). Please only join if you will be active and have time to study together.

Update: I only have a few requests atm. I will accept everyone when there are a good amount of people.

Hello,

My name is Ken Kim. We are a group of Koreans and Korean-Americans planning to take the LSAT either this October or in a couple of years. We have members scoring from 160-175 either on the official test or practice tests. Some of us are committed full-time to the test while some of us are working at a company, law firm, etc. We meet on the following dates at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

8:00 pm-11:00 pm, Wednesday

2:00 pm-5:00 pm, Sunday

We usually meet and do questions from LR and RC. We match our answers and discuss why each one of us have chosen an answer we chose. The fee for joining the study is free other than paying for the studying cafe fee which is 1,900 KRW per person for each hour (5,700 KRW total).

If you are interested, please send me a message to my inbox. I will direct you further. Thanks!

Need some help staying on top of my studies

Hi,

I just took my LSAT writing and kinda bombed. I was feeling awful going into it but decided to do it anyway. I've always been an okay writer and I wasn't too stressed about it. However, I noticed after submitting it that I had failed to delete my brief description of the decision to be made and the criteria -- they were just sitting above the rest of the essay with a line in between -- and I made a couple of noticeable typos.

Is there anyway to redo it without redoing the entire test? Or to cancel only the writing section?

If it's at all relevant, I started a new medication today (my first dose was about 4 hours before the test) and I think it's definitely possible that it's what was making me feel wonky. I feel a little pathetic using that as an excuse but I honestly believe that it may be relevant, I don't know.

Hiiii!

I am located in Orange, CA and am looking for a study/accountability partner! Let me know if you are interested.

I chose (E) as my answer because "Selfish individualism" which was suggested as a menace to the integrity of society is not necessarily equivalent to the concept of selfishness, a fundamental motivator of human actions throughout the history (at least in this passage). There is a missing link which remains unexplained to bridge the gap between these two. I thought it was a snake-oil seller tactic switching terms in the vicinity with no proper justification. (A) is improper as there would have been no reason to defy the relevance of that argument in this passage iff he/she had offered us a coherent concept of excessive self-interest. Instead of reducing one of the social ills that epitomized the decade to "Selfish individualism", the author could have said "selfishness". Then, the whole passage can adhere to one particular theme with congruity. (B) is not germane to the argument because no numeric data is demanded whose absence can dismantle the validity of the argument entirely. It could undermine or weaken its cogency at best. (C) is the opposite of the argument. The writer perceives it as a chronic condition ailing our humanity from Day one. (D) is a nut job since we do not need to look into the case of other species to beef up the case against our unconditional/uncalculating benevolence. If humans are born to be driven by their own lust and lucre as part of basic instincts, then any author should channel all of one's efforts to cull out instances related to that hypothesis. The rest would be a dog-and-pony show. Thus, I opted for (E) as my final answer choice. According to the first half of the passage, the innate desire of humans to reveal their true blood even at the cost of damaging others was a culprit putting our society's harmony in jeopardy in the 1980s. Then, the second half of it has a different selling pitch: selfishness in the human history. This ever-lasting character lets him/her question the nature of good will by mankind in general. What I failed to see was the connection between them. What do you think about this? Do you mind sharing the rationale behind ur decision?

Hello! For those of you who have scheduled your specific LSAT date and time before, could you describe how that works? I haven't received further information and unsure about the process. Where do you exactly go to schedule? Thank you in advance!

Any tips for timing yourself on RC section? RC is always hit or miss for me depending on the difficulty of the passage. Sometimes I have to read sentences a few times to really understand them and then I short myself on time for the other passages leaving me either 1) completely guessing at the end or 2) quickly reading the passage and not fully understanding it therefore, getting questions wrong anyway.

More of PSA, but I think when you simulate modern in this test it removes the wrong LR section. Every test I've inputted in simulate modern uses the first section (S2) in LawHub while only this one seems to do the opposite.

Hi, all. PM to join my January LSAT tester Discord channel! (3(/p)

Hi Guys I was wondering if you guys thought it was worth it to buy the score preview for the 2nd LSAT I have taken. I did not buy it for my first LSAT

Can we take a preptest again if we've already done so, and if so, how do we do that? Also, can we do the preptest untimed? I understand we do that during the blind review, but can we chose to change the time

So a Professor I asked a letter for had me amend the form multiple times as per them moving around and what not, but now I'm worried about the letter number on the form. Do law schools care if it says L8 for example on the letter form even though I have like 3 recommenders?

After having took 5 practice tests and done probably 50 different logic games, I have come across my number 1 enemy: drawing the initial board. Not even figuring inferences, but simply figuring out if it’s sequence or grouping and drawing a board accordingly. Does anyone have any tips for figuring out the kind of board to draw?

I watched JY's explanation video and I see why B is correct, but I'm still confused why D isn't either. It says "if ALL farmers..." in the premise, so how isn't it overlooking that possibility?

Hi all -

I started my course of study focusing pretty much exclusively on LGs (my first PT was a 159, -4 RC, -13 LG, -avg 5.5 on LR, so the what needed improving seemed clear) and am now in a place where I'm pretty happy with them.

The problem is now LR. On average I'm still -3 or -4 per section, and I just can't seem to crack the most difficult questions. Get them wrong ~50% of the time on BR, get them wrong in the little bit of time I have to check my answers in section.

So - any tips or strategies for approaching difficult (4 or 5 pip) LRs? Thanks in advance!

Hello! I am applying ED to UCLA - is it better to apply early or does the timing not matter too much before the November 15th deadline? Good luck to all of this cycles applicants!

I have consistently been getting -8/-9 on every timed LR section that I do for the past month. When I BR, I tend to get -6/-7. I have tried drilling harder question types, but nothing seems to be sticking. Should I go back to the core curriculum? I read through all of Loophole too. Taking the Nov LSAT and frustrated I can't seem to master LR.

Thoughts on November LSAT? Is there still a good chance of getting into schools if I apply end December?

One of the main things that pushed me to law and wanting to become a lawyer was seeing one of my close family members grapple with addiction and how it affected me and my family. Is this an appropriate topic to write about for my personal statement or should I try to do something else?

Since mass can be determined by the brightness, if the brightness is lower than previously thought, shouldn't it be that the mass is also higher than previously thought? If the brightness was thought to be 40% and mass 50 but brightness is actually 20, wouldn't the mass also be less than 50, hence lower than previously thought?

I'm not sure I understand this question - what does 60 times less light mean? Is that supposed to be an absolute number? It seems pretty relative to me.

Hello everyone. I have some questions regarding when and how to explain a GPA below a school’s median.

Essentially, I was majoring in Biology during my freshman year of college which was something kinda pushed onto me by my parents and not something I wanted to pursue. In addition to this, I moved houses during my very first semester of college and COVID hit during the middle of my second semester. After performing poorly these first 2 semester in college I decided to switch majors to Psychology and went on to earn an A in every single class I took from there until I graduated. Unfortunately, the failing grades I earned those semesters are counted by the LSAC’s cumulative GPA despite me graduating Summa Cum Laude with a 3.98 GPA. This brings my LSAC GPA to a 3.45. I know, yikes.

Is this something worth writing an addendum for? How will law school view me switching majors and my drastic change in grades?
